Chapter 309: Deformation
Li Tianyu was momentarily speechless at Long Yu's huge reaction.
"..." No, Brother. Why are you acting like I'm trying to do something to your girlfriend?
After a brief pause, he took off his uniform and undershirt, revealing his bare chest.
"What I want to show you is this." He said.
Sensing Long Yu's body stiffening, Yao Ran pulled his palm away from her eyes and looked at Li Tianyu. As soon as her gaze fell on his chest, her expression darkened.
Li Tianyu sighed at their reactions.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Pointing to his chest, which looked like a stone, he explained, "I don't know how my body ended up like this. I can't tell anyone else, so I came to you. I'm hoping you can help me."
For the first time, Long Yu saw helplessness and fear in Li Tianyu's eyes. He remained silent for a moment before asking, "Why didn't you seek help from Wu Lian or Commander Xu? I'm sure they know a lot of doctors who can help you."
Li Tianyu sat back down and replied, "It seems you don't know."
"About what?" Long Yu asked.
Li Tianyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Commander Xu and the senior officers have been funding experiments on ability users, with Wu Lian supporting Xue Wenjie, the project's lead scientist."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yao Ran and Long Yu's expressions changed.
Clenching her fists, Yao Ran coldly asked, "What kind of experiment are they conducting?" Li Tianyu shook his head and explained, "I don't know the details. I only know that five and a half months ago, a woman suddenly appeared here, claiming she could create water out of thin air. Because of her, a group of believers gathered and caused a disturbance in the base." "Wu Lian was alerted by the commotion and arrested her. Shortly after, I was assigned a secret mission to find more ability users and invite them to join our base. However, everyone who came here-soldiers included-eventually disappeared without a trace."
"Because of this, I decided to investigate their whereabouts. After months of investigation, I discovered that Xue Wenjie was tasked with experimenting with ability users. These individuals were being held in the laboratory as test subjects as we speak right now."
After hearing this, Long Yu said, "So that's why you sought me out instead of asking Commander Xu for help."
Li Tianyu nodded. "Yes."
Receiving his confirmation, Long Yu turned to Yao Ran and asked, "Ran Ran, do you have a way to help Captain Li?"
After thinking for a moment, Yao Ran replied, "I might have a way to help Captain Li, but I have never tried it before. I'm not sure if it will work."
Hearing that she had a way, Li Tianyu immediately said, "I'm willing to give it a try."
Seeing his determination, Yao Ran opened her backpack. Using it as a cover, she discreetly retrieved a small bottle of lake water from her space.
She looked at Li Tianyu and instructed, "Please bring me a cup."
Li Tianyu stood up and returned with a cup. Yao Ran then poured a small amount of lake water into it and handed it to him.
"Drink this."
Li Tianyu looked at the water, saw that it was just ordinary water, and drank it obediently.
Three seconds later, he felt warmth spreading through his body. Before he could ask Yao Ran about what kind of water she gave him, a sudden pain erupted in his chest. Clutching his chest, Li Tianyu broke out in a cold sweat, groaning as he endured the intense pain.
Yao Ran observed him calmly before asking, "Besides the pain, what else do you feel?" Gritting his teeth, Li Tianyu replied with difficulty, "At first, warmth... then sudden pain in my chest. It feels like my flesh is being torn apart-hot and itchy."
After listening to his description, Yao Ran turned to look at Long Yu and said, "A Yu, please help Captain Li lie on the bed. I need to examine his chest."
"Alright." Long Yu said, helping Li Tianyu onto the bed.
Yao Ran pulled a chair over and sat beside the folding bed. Seeing that Li Tianyu had fainted from the pain, she retrieved a stethoscope from her space and began checking his body.
As she monitored his condition, Long Yu stared at Li Tianyu's chest. When he noticed the flesh in the chest area beginning to crack and crumble like sand, he asked, "Ran Ran, what did you give him? Is it working?"
"It's lake water," Yao Ran replied calmly. "I wasn't sure if it would work since this is my first time using it to cure deformation."
After she explained, the two of them continued observing Li Tianyu.
Two hours later, the stone-like flesh on Li Tianyu's chest had gone entirely, and new flesh began to grow in its place. The newly grown skin was pink and smooth, with only a slightly sunken area as evidence of the previous deformity.
Realizing that the lake water could indeed cure deformation, Yao Ran's eyes lit up, and she said, "A Yu, give Captain Li a bit more lake water."
Long Yu nodded, taking the cup with the remaining lake water and feeding it to Li Tianyu. Moments later, the sunken area in his chest returned to normal, and his complexion visibly
improved.
After witnessing the transformation, Yao Ran concluded, "It seems the amount of lake water needed to cure deformation depends on the severity of the condition."
Long Yu, pleased with the result, said, "This is incredible. With your lake water, we might be able to change the future of humanity."
Yao Ran nodded in agreement. Now that Li Tianyu's body had returned to normal, all that remained was to wait for him to wake up and see if he still possessed his ability.
Yao Ran sat around the table, took out a radiation detector from her space, and turned it on. When the screen showed 600 mSv, Yao Ran and Long Yu looked at each other.
