Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Bai Zhi had never thought that the person operating a group of armed mechas would be alone and so close to Yi Hai.

In areas where the concentration of active ether is so high that ether crystals are growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, even a short period of human activity could cause severe corrosion. Unless someone like Bai Zhi is completely immune to corrosion, any intelligent creature approaching would be considered suicidal.

This plain-looking lady, whose figure alone made her look more like a scholar than a professional fighter, didn't even have a single thermal weapon that could effectively attack such a large-scale armored vehicle, except for a mediocre protective suit and intelligent equipment for controlling the mecha.

However, the clothes she was wearing were very consistent with those of the team that was attacked just now.

But these mechas were obviously not owned by the previous team.

Otherwise, when they were attacked for the first time, they would not have dealt with the high-risk situation in such a panic and chosen the inefficient yet heroic method of sacrificing some team members to buy time for other team members.

The explosions were getting more and more intense, and Bai Zhi didn't have much time to think about how these military mechas appeared.

Under the self-destructive attack of the military armed mecha, not only could the skeleton not withstand it, but the nearby fault was also gradually collapsing.

But the warrior who had accomplished such a feat, nearly single-handedly killing a high-risk Yi Hai, remained standing, seemingly dazed, with no intention of evacuating the dangerous area.

Following the simple principle of "saving every possible person, not judging right or wrong in a life-or-death situation," Bai Zhi rushed towards her without hesitation the moment he spotted her. The moment he touched the woman's body, he used his coat as a cover and used the familiar "data isolation" method to prevent her from being further eroded by the ether.

However, something unexpected happened at the moment when "data isolation" was completed.

The moment Bai Zhi carried the lady, his consciousness felt like the top of his head was suddenly hit by a heavy hammer, causing an almost tearing pain. Bai Zhi's thoughts suddenly went blank, and even the movement of getting up was deformed and he almost fell down.

The person hanging on his shoulders therefore hit his strong back muscles hard.

Fortunately, this sharp pain came suddenly and disappeared quickly.

Bai Zhi stood still for three seconds, then suppressed the splitting headache and the churning stomach that wanted to vomit, and ran quickly with the person on his back.

The scene before him began to flicker. Bai Zhi advanced at a breakneck speed on a road that threatened to collapse and fall at any moment. In such a critical moment, he couldn't afford to hide his abnormality. Not collapsing before reaching safety became the only clear thought in his mind.

Bai Zhi jumped down from a cliff several dozen meters high. The whistling air waves tore at his long hair, and the ink-black ends of his hair quietly spread upwards.

Currently clueless, he quickly advanced towards the spot where he had detected human life signals. In his chaotic state, Bai Zhi struggled to remember that, while he wasn't afraid of the ether's erosion, he still had a "normal" person on his shoulders who needed treatment.

In the end, Bai Zhi successfully escaped from the area that would be affected by the explosion before completely losing consciousness.

The tall man in tight combat clothes and a mask had a muscular and broad chest that was heaving violently. His eyes, which should have been sharp, were now bloodshot and his gaze was confused and distracted.

Bai Zhi, whose mind was almost frozen, looked at the blurry figures not far away, and mechanically raised his foot to walk over and hand the person on his shoulders to them.

However, the next second, the scene in the field of vision began to rotate and shake, and the ground covered with gravel and dust instantly enlarged in front of his eyes.

Bai Zhi could not hear the screams of others or feel his own limbs due to the severe tinnitus in his ears. Before he fell into a complete coma, all he could do was fall to the ground sideways, making his last effort to avoid causing more harm to the person on his shoulder.

A quiet darkness enveloped him.

When Bai Zhi regained consciousness, he had been carried to a temporary camp for rescue.

The cold potion was pushed into Bai Zhi's body. A stranger in uniform looked at him in surprise as he opened his eyes and talked about something around him.

Bai Zhi frowned and sat up despite the nervous dissuasion of these people. He took a look at the camp tent that was obviously built temporarily, then lowered his head and clenched his fists.

The sudden discomfort in my body disappeared inexplicably.

Bai Zhi now has a slight headache, but the physical values ​​displayed by the system show no abnormalities and he is extremely healthy.

"Sir, please don't move!" A lady wearing pink-framed glasses hurried over with a medical kit on her back, frowning and scolding the patient who didn't care about his own health.

"You were in an area with extremely high etheric activity without any protective measures. A thorough examination and treatment is necessary.

Although I haven't found any obvious signs of corrosion in your vital signs, I still can't let my guard down!"

"...I'm sorry." The lady's characteristics and the tone of her scolding were too similar to the head nurse who had taken care of Bai Yu. Bai Zhi tensed up and lowered his head as if by reflex, and the words of apology naturally escaped his lips.

"...Huh? Ahem, very good! Patients should listen to the doctor." In a hurry, he mistook them for his teammates who did not listen to the doctor's advice. After scolding them, the team doctor realized that she was a little embarrassed and nervous. She did not expect that the cold and ferocious warrior in front of her would have such a good temper and would apologize obediently after being scolded.

The team doctor awkwardly fiddled with the straps on her body, her face strained. She gave Bai Zhi, who was incredibly cooperative, a quick physical examination with her utmost professionalism, feeling so moved she almost wanted to cry.

It would be great if her teammates could also cooperate with the medical staff in this way.

Bai Zhi had no idea that the seemingly serious team doctor in front of him was actually having so much going on. Having been hospitalized for years, cooperating with the medical staff had become almost an instinctive habit for him.

Bai Zhi's level of obedience in front of the medical professionals was comparable to that of a well-behaved student who met a strict head teacher many years after graduation.

That subconscious tension and timidity can be regarded as a mental imprint and is not particularly easy to eliminate.

However, when the team doctor tried to draw some of his blood for testing, Bai Zhi firmly refused. He was too far away from Fu Fu, and he had just experienced an abnormality in his body. He didn't dare to have his blood analyzed under such circumstances.

What's more, he fought a fight in a place with such a high concentration of active ether, picked up a person, and played a round of extreme parkour, but now no ether energy erosion reaction can be detected in the blood. Is this reasonable?

However, how to transform and simulate the mutation of one's own body organs so that body fluids can be separated and preserved is not within Bai Zhi's scope of learning.

According to Fu Fu's explanation: This operation challenges the bottom line of human ethics and morality, and it is very easy to cause the host to lose respect for himself and the lives of others.

Therefore, the system regulations prohibit the host from arbitrarily modifying his own body organs.

So Bai Zhi put on a stern face and showed an aloof and cold temperament that kept people at a distance, but he felt an indescribable fear in his heart. He carefully and firmly rejected the team doctor's request.

Small Theater

Bai Zhi, with a cold expression, said, "Sorry, can we not take the blood test? I'm afraid of needles and blood. I can cooperate with everything else."

Team Doctor: ...I thought I'd done something wrong and offended you, and you wanted to hit me?! And you just wanted to talk to me about this!?

Then why are you so murderous?!

Bai Zhi: I refused to cooperate with the doctor's examination, so I couldn't control my nervousness! ?

Team doctor: ...I'm even more nervous now!! (Roaring)
