Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 197

Because of what had happened, Bai Zemin gave the order to rest.

The sun had already begun to set on the distant horizon and staying in the forest without any protectionduring the night was no different from suicide for normal survivors.

The survivors were still persistently frightened because of what had happened about an hour ago.None of them felt safe and their fear-filled eyes scanned the surroundings cautiously as no one knewwhen a second terrifying bear like the previous one might jump out of the shadows.

Most of them had never seen the real power of Bai Zemin and very few had seen him eliminate FirstOrder beasts or other powerful creatures. However, there were a few who had seen him at his peakand seeing his current injuries only made the despair in their hearts grow even greater.

This was probably going to continue this way since they had not yet seen the body of the Second Orderbear. But when they could see the even more miserable condition in which the beast’s corpse endedup, they would probably feel some relief and comfort.

…

In the heart of the forest, military base.

Those in charge of the kitchen began to prepare dinner immediately.

Although the previous commander of this base took many kitchen utensils with him for obviousreasons, there were still many that were left behind. Therefore, Bai Zemin had ordered the messengerwho returned to the Beginning Village to tell Cai Jingyi and Zhong De that there was no need to bringpots and pans or anything like that.

When dinner was served, the hardworking survivors began to devour with fervor. None of them knew ifthey could survive another day considering where they were, at least they wanted to die with their

stomachs feeling satisfied and not roaring with hunger.

While these people’s dinner was simply rice and meat with a steamed bun, without too much luxuryand without too much variety, none of the survivors had the slightest complaint in their minds. They allate with joy shining in their eyes; because these people were aware of how cruel and painful it was toexperience hunger.

That feeling of helplessness that devours the bones little by little, the awareness that there was nothingthey could do about it, the feeling of the strength of their bodies leaving them little by little, all this wassomething that could not be understood by those who never suffered or experienced great hardships intheir lives.

Moreover, although the dinner was simple, the meat they were eating was actually mutated beast meat.The mutated beast meat was filled with nutrients capable of improving the human body, it gave a fewpermanent stats to those who were weaker, and its blood was able to quickly replenish the energy theyhad lost after a day of hard work and filled with heavy and dark emotions.

At one of the tables in the military dining room, the main leaders of the group as well as the armedsoldiers were having their own dinner.

First Order snake soup, small pies stuffed with First Order wild boar meat, noodles with different kindsof sauces, and so on.

It was certainly a much more varied dinner than that of the normal survivors. However, everyone wasaware of the rules of the group; those who fought had the highest priority.

The armed men were devouring their bowls voraciously. Even they could not enjoy this kind oftreatment very often. Only the leaders could eat this kind of thing whenever they felt like it.

Bai Zemin had already showered and currently had his left arm resting on a bandage that went aroundhis neck. Although it wasn’t much it was better than having his arm hanging carelessly. Even with hiscurrent Health he would need two or three more days to recover from such injuries unless he receivedmagical medical treatment.

The wound on his face had not bled for a long time. Tissues moved slowly and steadily, repairing thosethat were damaged while cells worked overtime to shape new tissues to replace those that had beencompletely destroyed.

“You… Are you okay?” Chen He asked as he looked at him with complicated eyes.

He had noticed a strange closeness between Bai Zemin and Shangguan Bing Xue after they returnedfrom the forest victorious. It was not a romantic closeness by any means, but Chen He noticed a kind ofharmony and calmness between the two. Something like this was hard to expect since considering thesimilar personalities that Shangguan Bing Xue and Bai Zemin had, the most normal thing would be toexpect a big disagreement between the two.

This puzzled and worried Chen He a little. However, he was also genuinely worried about Bai Zemin’shealth. After all, Bai Zemin was a battle colleague with whom he had been through a lot over the pastfew weeks and while he secretly saw him as a kind of rival, he felt no hatred of any kind towards him.novelbin

“I’m fine.” Bai Zemin nodded as he took a piece of roast meat with his chopsticks and savored it slowlyto prevent the wound on his face from worsening again. “When we return to the village tomorrow I willhave Kang Lan use her skill on me. I assume that in three days, maximum four, I’ll be back to my bestcondition.”

“It’s really a pity that Kang Lan didn’t come. Otherwise she could start treating you now.” Wu Yijunlamented as she imagined the pain Bai Zemin must have been enduring silently. She didn’t think suchwounds didn’t hurt at all.

“That’s why we should finish everything here and return tomorrow at dawn.” Shangguan Bing Xuecalmly interjected.

Chen He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Doesn’t it hurt?”

He simply could not understand how Bai Zemin was not even blinking. Just imagining the pain ofsuffering such injuries made Chen He shudder slightly.

Bai Zemin was about to take another piece of First Order beast meat into his mouth but upon hearingChen He’s question his movements automatically stopped. He looked at the talented young marksmanas if he was looking at an idiot.

“What do you think?” he asked rhetorically and then rolled his eyes, “Stop being a sissy and eat. Isn’t itjust some pain? No need to make a big deal out of it.”

How could he not feel pain? It was just that Bai Zemin had been injured on more than one occasionduring his constant fights and sometimes they were tremendously painful injuries. It had gotten to thepoint where even the pain was no longer as horrendous as it was in the past.

Chen He shook his head and did not ask any more questions. He simply could not understand becausehe had only received superficial injuries so far and the worst wound he had suffered had been agunshot on the arm when he had confronted the armed men of the village that now belonged to them.

The group dined calmly, some of them worried about the future, others worried about the present,others missing the past. But they all knew that the only choice they had was to keep moving forwardwithout rest.

The appearance of the Second Order bear had been a harsh wake-up call for all of them. It was awarning that told them to not forget something important: the era of peace and tranquility where the

laws of society protected them had long since ended!
