Holding Chi Qinghua for a moment to comfort her, Shen Yuan then set her down and walked over to Wei Jiankang.
Wei Jiankang looked relatively well, his once full head of white hair now a mix of white and gray, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies. This seemed to be his natural appearance at this age.
Although his complexion was decent, he appeared mentally drained.
He had lost too much blood over the past couple of days. Although his unique ability allowed him to recover quickly through eating, the mental exhaustion was much harder to replenish.
“Shen… Shen Ge, I just fed Old Wei three bottles of milk, a bag of Cooked Beef, a 250-gram pack of bread, and five sausages…” Zhang Huanxue had been squatting next to Wei Jiankang. Upon seeing Shen Yuan, she quickly stood up, feeling a bit awkward, her fair face slightly flushed with a hint of red.
She was an easily nervous and shy female college student.
“You should also go rest. Old Wei is tired too; let him rest well. Don’t worry about Wei Luhe, she’s fine, everything is okay,” Shen Yuan said softly.
Zhang Huanxue responded with an “mm” but did not leave. She picked up a silk quilt for Wei Jiankang to lean against and covered him with another silk quilt before wrapping herself in another quilt and leaning against the wall next to Wei Jiankang, closing her eyes.
Seeing that Wei Jiankang had closed his eyes, Shen Yuan walked over to Chi Qinghua, then took out a scale from Guo Dalong from his Military Backpack. He held it in his palm for about ten seconds until it became fragile, then tossed it to A Hu.
A Hu bit down on the scale and quickly chewed it into pieces before swallowing it whole.
Shen Yuan repeated the process.
A few minutes later, after consuming about ten scales, A Hu surprisingly shook its cat head like a human and then burrowed into Chi Qinghua's arms, appearing docile and content.
It was transferring the Source of Life it had received to Chi Qinghua.
It shared the Source of Life with Chi Qinghua, evolving together as an inseparable evolutionary community.
Shen Yuan raised his left hand; the faint golden light in his palm had become more pronounced and was expanding around his palm. Now even the skin on his five fingers showed a hint of faint golden light, although it was very weak and hardly noticeable unless looked at closely.
“The area covered by the golden sheen is getting larger? Could it be that one day my entire left hand will turn golden? Is it really the Golden Hand?” Shen Yuan frowned and then gently shook his head.
He recalled the dream he had early yesterday morning.
In the dream, a piece of Metal Fragment pierced through the palm of his left hand.
“Could that piece of Metal Fragment have originally belonged to a Golden Hand, or perhaps a pair of Golden Gloves? Now that it has merged into my left palm, is this slowly healing through absorbing the Source of Life? That piece of Metal Fragment… is it alive?”
Shen Yuan thought of the Activation Ability in the palm of his left hand.
All along, the so-called Activation Ability not only enhanced the functions of items like the Shovel and pistol but also granted these items automatic restoration and healing capabilities.
The sharpened side of the Shovel had already been chipped multiple times, yet each time it restored itself at a visibly rapid pace, much like memory metal.
The secret of the Golden Hand remained shrouded in mystery, still not unveiled.
He touched the Bulletproof Vest he was wearing with his left hand and silently activated it.
The material of the Bulletproof Vest was quite special; the outer layer was made of ordinary synthetic fibers, while the ballistic layer was made from unique materials such as metals (Special Steel, Aluminum Alloy, Titanium Alloy), ceramic plates (Corundum, Boron Carbide, Silicon Carbide, Aluminum Oxide), fiberglass, nylon, etc., each with different requirements for hardness and toughness.
Activation was also more challenging, taking a full half hour, much slower than the Semi-Automatic Pistol.
Now that the crisis had passed, Shen Yuan had plenty of time.
“Whew! Whew!”
Chen Letian was panting heavily, dragging a Wolfdog that weighed at least two hundred pounds with his left hand while holding a plastic bag in his right. As he walked, he shouted, “Boss! Boss! How could you be so careless? You didn’t even clean up the loot! The Bulletproof Vest, the pistol… they’re all good stuff! Do you think a pistol is useless just because it’s out of bullets and the Bulletproof Vest is damaged? If we find more bullets, these pistols would be deadly weapons! And this Bulletproof Vest, it’s still a Bulletproof Vest, even if it’s damaged; how can you just throw it away…”
This guy was exhausted but couldn’t stop talking!
Not only did he bring back all the unloaded Semi-Automatic Pistols, but he even stripped the Bulletproof Vest off the Wolf Head!
What a scavenger!
“Chen Letian, is your mouth either eating or talking? If you don’t shut up, I’ll sew your mouth shut!” After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuan nodded and said, “You keep two guns for yourself; give me the rest. You can keep the Bulletproof Vest. Also, why didn’t you bring back any Cookware? How are we going to make Dog Meat Hot Pot?”
Chen Letian didn’t immediately take the pistols for himself, which surprised Shen Yuan. However, upon reflection, it made sense.
Without bullets, taking them wouldn’t be useful; this indicated that behind his joking demeanor lay an intelligent mind.
Chen Letian shouted, “That’s unfair! Boss, look at me; I only have two hands! This right hand has to drag this big Wolfdog, right? And this left hand has to carry these pistols and the Bulletproof Vest, right? Alright, alright, calm down, boss; I’ll go get some Cookware!”
Chen Letian put on the Bulletproof Vest, stuffed two Semi-Automatic Pistols into his pockets, and then ran back outside.
Ten minutes later, he returned again, dropped off some items, and left.
Half an hour later, he made three trips back and forth.
This guy wandered around the supermarket for a few laps and actually came back with a whole bunch of stuff. In addition to a mandarin duck pot, hot pot base, and solid alcohol as fuel, he even managed to get a barbecue grill, stainless steel skewers, a filter, and two boxes of charcoal!
"Boss, look what I got! Hehe, such a big Wolfdog, we won't even finish it just for hot pot, so let's add some barbecue too! Look, I even brought chili powder, pepper, cumin, salt, and all that! Boss, wouldn’t it be great if we had a sheep too? Lamb skewers are the best!" Chen Letian started chattering non-stop again.
Shen Yuan shook his head and ignored him.
He understood now; this guy was just like that—his mouth seemed to have a mind of its own and couldn't be controlled no matter what was said.
The Bulletproof Vest had been activated successfully; the light golden sheen on the palm of his left hand dimmed, but the area covered by the sheen hadn't decreased and was almost fully covering his palm.
Shen Yuan touched the Micro Submachine Gun hanging on his chest, feeling slightly disappointed.
It couldn't be activated again due to insufficient Source of Life.
There was no way around it; one cannot have both fish and bear's paw. Shen Yuan already had two Activated Semi-Automatic Pistols, an Activated Revolver, as well as an Activated Slingshot and an Activated Engineering Shovel, so he didn't lack powerful weapons for now. For him, activating the Bulletproof Vest was clearly more important.
After activation, the Bulletproof Vest had enhanced defensive capabilities. Although it hadn't been tested yet, it was roughly estimated that it could withstand shots from a standard handgun within fifty meters.
This was an extremely strong protection for Gavin!
