Even he wasn't sure about that.

They might be dead, or they might be alive.

More accurately, before one is certain of the other's death, the other person may still be alive, existing in a superposition of being dead and alive.

After these thoughts swirled in his mind, he looked at the expectant girl and said, "Okay, but we'll have to wait a while until I recover."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Healing

Nannan smiled happily after hearing his words, "Then let's pinky swear."

After saying that, Li Yi extended his little finger without thinking much and extended his finger in return.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, never to change," Nannan said very seriously.

"Go to sleep." Li Yi closed his eyes slightly and squeezed his body inward, leaving her a large patch of dry hay.

The little girl very thoughtfully spread out a blanket to cover him, while she curled up into a small ball next to Li Yi.

Lying here, she could even smell the faint scent of blood on Li Yi's body, but for some reason, she felt no fear at all, and even a sense of peace.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had slept so peacefully.

This time she was able to sleep soundly until the next morning, instead of being woken up by the howling wind in the middle of the night.

Although Li Yi was supposedly sleeping, he was actually silently circulating his energy-guiding technique, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Because of physical reasons, he was unable to adjust his posture or practice marksmanship.

He could only operate at the slowest speed, silently circulating the guiding techniques within his body.

By continuously accumulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the body, this spiritual energy begins to take effect, gradually restoring the body.

Therefore, it wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that his body was filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he could no longer absorb it.

In addition, he also discovered that although he had taken the gene serum and his talent had been partially realized ahead of schedule, his path of cultivation had not been completely cut off.

However, the speed of cultivation has decreased by more than 30% compared to before, which is good news.

The rate of improvement will slow down, but there is still room for further improvement.

Given his talent, even if his cultivation speed decreases by 30%, he will still be faster than most people.

He finally woke up the next day when it was fully light.

When he woke up, Nannan was not beside him. Li Yi frowned, struggled to sit up, and looked around.

Finally, I spotted her in the bushes not far away.

"Nannan," Li Yi called softly.

Hearing Li Yi's call, she quickly turned around and ran over.

The forest dew had soaked her hair, and her lips were still a little pale.

"Are you cold?" Li Yi asked, reaching out to touch her icy little hands.

"Here you go." She handed over a few red fruits from her palm.

These fruits were the only food he, young and weak, could find in this mountain forest.

As time went on, these fruits were not as easy to find as they used to be; sometimes it took a lot of effort to find just one.

Li Yi took the few red fruits and used a corner of the blanket to dry the water from her head.

Where's the candy I gave you?

Nannan immediately rummaged through the haystack and quickly found a piece and a half of chocolate.

"Eat up, cover yourself with a blanket to warm up." Li Yi picked up a red fruit and put it in his mouth. It was very sour and astringent, and the taste was not good.

But he didn't say anything, nor did he say that Nannan shouldn't go looking for it.

This is out of kindness; she went to great lengths to find this for me. I shouldn't refuse; I should accept it.

The little girl, covered with a blanket, lay in the haystack, savoring the sweet taste in her mouth.

"After you finish eating, come over here and help your brother," Li Yi said in a low voice, his injuries needing to be treated.

Given his current condition, it's impossible for him to handle everything by himself; he needs help.

Although he understood that such a scene might be somewhat bloody for the children.

But at this moment, they didn't have many options.

Li Yi nodded to her and moved with difficulty to the other side of the rock.

The injuries are severe and need to be treated immediately.

He took out medicine and bandages from his storage space and instructed Nannan to help him cut his combat uniform.

His body was covered in scabs, and he had countless broken bones.

The only thing that could be considered good was the muscle, which was merely bruised.

Nannan carefully cut open Li Yi's combat uniform with a dagger, and felt very distressed when she saw the condition of his body.

Li Yi took out some healing medicine. These medicines, specially made for martial artists, were expensive but also very effective.

After instructing Nannan to spray the wound medicine all over his body, Li Yi began to set his bones.

This process was not pleasant; he gritted his teeth and tried his best not to make a sound.

Even so, I couldn't help but gasp.

The first bone to be reattached was the right arm. This process was complicated; he had to slowly adjust the broken and misaligned bones before reattaching them.

More importantly, he is not a professional osteopath. If he makes a mistake, the only option is to take the most extreme measure: break his own bone and set it again.

Li Yi's face was grim. He took a deep breath and slammed his right arm hard against the rock.

"Crack, crack..." The bones that were originally connected were knocked open again.

"Ah..." Even though he tried his best to endure it, he still couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

To ensure a precise understanding of his own condition, he could not use any medication and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Li Yi lay on the rock, breathing rapidly. His already set bones were being forcibly broken. Without the use of any medicine, this kind of pain was beyond what ordinary people could endure.

When Nannan saw this, she seemed a little frightened and stood there stunned.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't stop them from flowing.

People are always stronger and more fragile than they imagine.

Nannan had previously wandered alone in the wilderness, enduring hunger, cold, and the threat of wild animals.

She knew she had no one to rely on, no one would care about her, and crying was useless.

However, now that she had someone to rely on, she couldn't stop the tears.

Because subconsciously she knew that she could cry, because she was someone who cared.

Her previous strength was just a facade; she created a hard shell to protect herself.

This way, she can avoid the harm the world might inflict upon her.

After meeting Li Yi, her hard shell broke down, and her inner softness gradually came to the fore; after all, she was just a four or five-year-old child.

But if she is further harmed at this moment, she will surely build a hard shell around herself once again.

Moreover, its sturdiness far surpasses that of the previous one, making it virtually impossible to break.

She will completely shut herself off from the world and no longer have any communication with the outside world.

"Give me the bandages," Li Yi said, enduring the pain.

Nannan quickly wiped away her tears, picked up a white bandage, and helped Li Yi bandage and correct his entire arm.

With her help, Li Yi was able to fully reattach his hands, apply medicine, and bandage them.

Although the bones in other parts of his body had not yet been set, they were all given simple bandaging and treatment.

Li Yi then channeled his internal spiritual energy into his arms, allowing it to heal and repair his bones.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Testing Poison on Rabbits

Li Yi leaned against the rock, basking in the warm sunlight. He felt his arms were warm and slightly itchy.

The injuries were being healed quickly, but it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, not to mention that his hand bones were broken into several pieces.

Even though a martial artist's recovery speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, and with the aid of spiritual energy, it still takes him one or two days to gradually regain his mobility.

As for a full recovery from the injury, it will take at least ten days to half a month.

During this time, all I can do is lie here quietly and wait.

Nannan was very happy. After a long time, she finally had a full meal, even though it was high-energy food that wasn't very tasty.

But for her, who had been starving for countless days and had been living a life of hardship, this was a rare treat.

Perhaps because she had eaten her fill, Nannan seemed much more lively, no longer as quiet and reserved as before, despite being a child.

Li Yi lay there quietly, unable to do anything in his current situation.

But he knew in his heart that lying there like this was not a long-term solution; once you regained your mobility, you would still have to run.

The hundreds of guards of the Feathered Divine Dynasty were all dealt with by themselves. Although these people were all minor figures and insignificant to the mighty Feathered Divine Dynasty, they were still a threat.

What if someone comes to investigate? Given my current state, if I'm discovered, it's a dead end.

Regardless of whether or not someone comes to investigate, you should assume that someone does.

Better safe than sorry; being cautious will always help you live longer.

As for where to run and what to do next, he doesn't have a complete plan yet.

I am completely clueless about the world today.
