Chapter 108 - 108 The Mutated Beastmaster
In the clearing, there were many iron cages covered with black cloth. The moment they got close to this place, the stench of urine and feces hit them, causing Shen Fei to feel nauseated.
“What the hell is this place?”
“The observation room, a place you definitely don’t want to come to.” Wang Panzhi helplessly shrugged his shoulders at Shen Fei. “If you don’t want to become like them, then don’t get bitten by the beasts.”
!!
With that, Wang Panzhi slowly lowered the stretcher in his hands and massaged his sore shoulders.
Bang!
The moment the stretcher landed on the ground, a banging sound suddenly came from the surrounding cages.
“Roar!”
A person in the cage with bloodshot eyes suddenly pulled the black cloth off the cage. Through the cage, his bony arm suddenly scrabbled at Shen Fei.
“Get lost!” Wang Panzhi saw that the situation was not right and immediately kicked the man’s hand!
“Howl!” The man let out a miserable howl like a wild beast.
Although he retracted his hand, he still glared at Wang Panzhi with hatred.
“Be careful.” Wang Panzhi looked warily at the person in the cage and gave the cage another hard kick. “This place is very dangerous. Don’t get scratched by them.”
“Howl!”
The shabbily-dressed Beastmaster in the cage was breathing at Shen Fei and Wang Panzhi with a ferocious expression.
‘Is he still human?’ Shen Fei could not help but frown.
“This place is like hell.”
“It’s worse than hell.” Wang Panzhi shook his head as he passed something to Shen Fei from his inventory. “Take this and wear it. You must protect yourself here.”
Shen Fei nodded his head and extended his hand to receive the item that Wang Panzhi handed over. There were two unusually strong leather ropes and two pigskin covers large enough for his feet.
“This rope is for tying to your pants leg, to prevent them from scratching your ankles. Just put the pigskin over your shoes. This place is full of sh*t and urine, you can protect your shoes by putting those on. You can just throw it away when we head back.
“Alright,” Shen Fei said.
The two of them quickly got dressed. Wang Panzhi massaged his sore arms and carefully lifted the stretcher again.
“Later, let’s put her in an empty cage. The medical staff in charge of this will come and check on her some time today.
“Okay.” Shen Fei slowly stood up and did some simple movements.
“Groan…” On the stretcher, Li Ruoying opened her eyes slightly.
Wang Panzhi was stunned. It was as if he had fallen into ice. “Did she move just now?”
“Yeah.” Shen Fei slightly frowned. “Come to think of it, do you have to be so nervous?” Shen Fei looked at Li Ruoying, who was tied up on the stretcher, with a puzzled expression.
Before they left, Li Ruoying was firmly secured on the stretcher with several layers of buckles, all specially chained up.
Li Ruoying was a woman with a delicate body. In this prone position, even a strong man might not be able to break free.
Wang Panzhi shook his head firmly and tightened his grip on the stretcher. “You haven’t come into contact with those things yet, you don’t understand! She’s in the middle stage of the infection. Hurry up, the dozens of buckles on the stretcher won’t stop her!”
As soon as Wang Panzhi finished speaking, Li Ruoying opened her eyes and struggled violently on the stretcher.
“Graaargh!!”
“Hurry up!”
Wang Panzhi and Shen Fei quickly lifted the stretcher and ran toward the nearest empty cage.
Snap, snap!
Li Ruoying twisted her body on the stretcher restlessly. The buckles wrapped around her body cracked layer by layer.
“Hahhh!!” Her eyes were bloodshot as she stretched out her hand and tried to grab Shen Fei.
Shen Fei subconsciously leaned away from her, and the stretcher tilted forward involuntarily.
“Don’t move!” Wang Panzhi immediately extended his fist and hit Li Ruoying’s head hard.
“Graargh!!” Li Ruoying immediately changed her direction and grabbed at Wang Panzhi.
The loud noise attracted the attention of the people in the other cages.
“Roar! Roar!”
They kept knocking against the cage and desperately reached out their hands. Their sharp claws, which were covered with scales, left deep marks on the rotten ground.
“Hurry up! Just a little faster! We’ll be there soon!” Wang Panzhi mustered all the strength in his body and dodged as he charged into the cage.
Bang!
The two of them used their strength to swing in Li Ruoying’s stretcher and tossed her in.
“Roar!”
The moment the stretcher was shoved inside, Li Ruoying’s veins immediately bulged out. She broke through the restraints on her body and slammed into the cage.
“ROAR!!!” She clutched her head in pain and let out a beast-like roar from her throat.
“That was a close call.” Shen Fei let out a long sigh and his body relaxed.
“It seems that the chain just now was not safe enough. I’ll have to prepare something better next time.” Wang Panzhi stretched his body and walked out with Shen Fei.
Before he left, Shen Fei turned his head and looked at the caged people with sympathy.
“Is it enough to just leave her here?” Shen Fei frowned as he looked at his surroundings. “This place doesn’t look like it’s under someone’s jurisdiction.”
“I’m not sure even if you ask me. Maybe someone will come.” After saying this, Wang Panzhi walked away without looking back.
“We’re not the ones in trouble. You don’t need to care so much.”
“Then how did they become like this?” Shen Fei’s confusion showed on his face.
He had never heard of anyone who had been bitten by a beast having such a reaction.
“If it was just a simple bite, it wouldn’t have turned out like this. But if the wound is not treated for a long time, it will be infected, just like Li Ruoying’s. There would be a risk of mutation.”
At this point, Wang Panzhi turned around and looked at Li Ruoying with pity.
“With her condition, I can’t believe it. We can only think of a solution after the rescuers arrive.”
After saying that, Wang Panzhi turned around and left with Shen Fei.
…
At this moment, Aloy silently walked out from behind the door.
It was so strange. Looking at the people in front of her, Aloy could not help but feel puzzled.
There was no such thing as this in her previous life. When one was bitten by an exotic beast, one would, at most, lose an arm or a , not lose their mind and attack others at will like the people in the cage.
At first, Aloy thought that the exotic beast calamity in this life would not be too serious. But it seemed that the situation was far beyond her imagination.
When the people in the cage saw Aloy, they lowered their heads in fear. The arrogant look they had just now disappeared.
