Chapter 113: The Days of Buy-One-Get-One-Free Psychics

“Lister, Zero, Javier, continue leading the team onward!”

“I’ll take this saint back to the camp first.”

“She’s very valuable... I can’t let anything happen to her.”

Ye Hai gently lifted the saint of the Dusa Resistance into his arms.

Turning around, he continued speaking to the others, “While I’m away, all your actions must follow Javier’s orders.”

“He has more combat command experience than any of us!”

“I’ll catch up with you all as soon as I can!”

“If, for any reason, I fail to reach you before you arrive at the Black Market of the Ironwood Forest,”

“Set up camp on the spot. Under no circumstances should you enter the Black Market area lightly... and definitely do not go to the Shrine of Miracles on your own—it’s extremely dangerous.”

After issuing these instructions, Ye Hai left with the saint amid teasing and ambiguous glances from the others.

Once far from those uncomfortable gazes,

Ye Hai finally lowered his head to examine the saint in his arms. She was petite, under 160 centimeters tall, with a small, dark-skinned face—not exactly striking.

Her weight was very light, only about 35 kilograms, almost skeletal.

Yet she possessed a peculiar aura—

One that involuntarily brought a sense of tranquility to anyone who saw her.

Soon, Ye Hai returned to the camp.

Though he hadn’t covered much ground earlier,

it was mainly because everyone had been clearing snow along the way...

Fortunately, the snowfall had ceased early that morning.

The paths they hadn’t cleared had not been buried again.

As a result, Ye Hai’s pace quickened considerably.

Joe, idling in the camp, suddenly saw Ye Hai enter carrying a woman.

He glanced over at Liana nearby,

noticing there was no trace of jealousy on her face.

Joe snorted quietly,

cursing Ye Hai’s luck.

If he ever showed up in front of Zero carrying a woman like that,

it would definitely spell disaster.

Ignoring Joe’s greeting, Ye Hai hurriedly took the woman to the medical tent,

asking the doctors from the Corpse Hunters organization to take care of the saint.

The doctors were clearly delighted.

With parasites so widespread, the two doctors in the Corpse Hunters had been on the verge of unemployment.

They hadn’t seen a patient in days.

Now, with the leader of the Corpse Hunters personally bringing a patient, their eyes lit up immediately.

They knew an opportunity to prove themselves had arrived.

Joe and Liana, curious about why Ye Hai had returned midway,

put down their tasks and followed him to the medical tent.

Upon entering, one doctor said,

“Lord Ye Hai...”

“This young lady has no abnormal conditions; she’s unconscious simply due to severe blood loss...”

“Combined with long-term malnutrition!”

“This poses no grave threat to her life!”

“She just needs a transfusion...”

“She’ll wake up soon.”

Ye Hai nodded, unwilling to waste time, and immediately had the doctors begin.

During the transfusion, Ye Hai explained the situation of the Dusa Resistance to Joe and Liana.

Instantly, their gazes toward the saint grew strange.

“A human psychic?”

“That’s quite an unexpected surprise.”

But upon hearing that Ye Hai intended to treat the revered saint of the Dusa Resistance merely as a power bank for the bastard egg,

both widened their eyes, staring at him.

A dignified psychic...

How could she be so demeaned in your hands?

Is a psychic really necessary just to incubate an egg?

Even if her abilities held little value to the Corpse Hunters now.

Joe fell silent for a moment, then looked directly into Ye Hai’s eyes and asked,

“What exactly is that egg created by Tang Jie?”

“I notice you treasure that thing immensely!”

Ye Hai shook his head helplessly.

“I don’t even know what that thing really is right now!”

“What it will hatch in the future...”

“But if it’s what I imagine!”

“This egg will free us from the zombie-infested planet’s shackles! Break through the blockade...”

“Even if Titch and Nangong refuse to sell us a spaceship... we’ll still be able to obtain a formidable and astonishing space fleet with ease!”

Seeing Joe’s skeptical expression, Ye Hai could only shrug slightly.

There was no more explanation he could offer.

He couldn’t guarantee what exactly this thing would hatch.

The Essence Collector wasn’t part of the insectoid troop classifications.

However, judging by its name, Ye Hai believed it was most likely related to the Zeg insectoid species.

Not long after, the saint gradually awoke.

At that moment, she seemed somewhat surprised.

After releasing her psychic energy to save many within the Dusa Resistance,

the saint had already foreseen her own demise.

Now, she found herself lying on a soft bed, in a room that was surprisingly warm, without the biting cold wind that made her shiver before.

“You’re finally awake...”

“Right now, your body is still very weak from the massive blood loss!”

“Eating too much at once could harm your health...”

“But Mr. Ye Hai has already instructed me to prepare some minced meat and egg porridge for you!”

“I’ll help you sit up and take a little sip... it will help restore some strength.”

Liana’s gentle voice startled the saint slightly.

But when she turned to see the warm smile on Liana’s face, she slightly lowered her guard.

Liana carefully helped her up, propping several pillows behind her back so she could sit comfortably.

Then she placed a tray on the bedside table.

From a nearby insulated container, she took out the prepared food and set it before the saint.

The saint’s pupil-less eyes followed Liana’s every move.

Liana was slightly taken aback and asked, “You can see?”

The saint shook her head. “I cannot see, but I can perceive everything!”

At that moment, the inviting aroma wafted into the saint’s nostrils, stimulating her senses.

Finally, she couldn’t maintain her restraint any longer.

Picking up the spoon, she took a mouthful of the minced meat and egg porridge.

Instantly, the delicious flavor flooded her taste buds.

Having never tasted such exquisite food before, the saint’s eyes widened, staring intently at Liana.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

“What is this? I have never eaten anything so delicious!”

Liana smiled and replied,

“It’s ordinary minced meat and egg porridge from the camp’s kitchen. Though it’s not served every meal...”

“Typically, a few days each month, it appears on the menu.”

The saint looked puzzled, seemingly unfamiliar with eggs and meat...

Yet none of that stopped her from finishing the entire bowl of porridge within seconds.

Outside the window, Ye Hai and Joe glanced inside briefly before turning away.

“Hey! Boss!”

“Are you so sure that the Dusa Resistance will come to rescue this saint tonight?”

Ye Hai gave a slight smile and answered, “Not only will they come back, but they might even bring a surprise...”

As his words left his lips, a high-energy beam cut through the night from the west side of the camp, immediately followed by a barrage of gunfire.

Ye Hai grinned broadly.

“They’ve finally arrived!”

“Today might just be a good day for psychics—buy one, get one free...”
