The Return of Cambrian Period Volume 1 Chapter 6 12 Dec 30, 2019

Cong Xia kept flipping his palm while looking at it, then from his palm, he moved towards his arm and stroked the muscles of the arm. He rubbed his forearm and headed up. It seemed like he was looking for anything that made Cheng Tianbi different from ordinary people.

Cheng Tianbi frowned and grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Like a firecracker, Cong Xia asked a series of questions.

"How do you feel now? Do you feel any unusual changes in the muscles? Stiffness? Soreness? Swelling? Are there any differences within your body?"

"No."

"No? At present, these evolved animals and plants, with no exception, have become bigger and bigger. Don't you feel anything at all? No feeling of muscle swelling and bone growing? Maybe you will also become a giant."

Cong Xia still kept touching the biceps of Cheng Tianbi. The feeling was really good, firm and tight but still elastic. How did he practice to achieve this?

Cheng Tianbi grabbed his wrist and shook it off his arm.

"Give me some water."

Cong Xia looked at his pale lips, knowing that it was because of the blood loss. He quickly poured a glass of water and brought it to Cheng Tianbi's lips.

"Here. Drink some water, I have already boiled it. It's best to drink some hot water once in a while."

Cheng Tianbi wanted to take the cup, but Cong Xia said enthusiastically.

"I will hold it for you. You should try to study the feeling when it hasn't disappeared yet. Study the feeling on your hand."

As Cheng Tianbi was about to say something, there was a thud sound coming from the window behind, the whole window was shaking because of the slamming force. Both of them turned around to look straight at the window, there was a trace of wetness left on the glass.

Cong Xia walked next to the window and looked outside. He was quite astonished. For some reasons, it was already hailing outside. The size of the hail was as big as a chicken egg, when hitting the road, it left behind small pieces of ice. When hitting the car, the car would make loud sound continuously. If the hail this big hit someone, something bad definitely would happen.

Cong Xia was trembling terribly. The fight for their lives that just happened made them totally forget about their purpose of entering the house. Their mind was highly strained, which also made them forget about the sudden drop in temperature. At this time, when he was finally aware of it, he suddenly felt chilled to the bone.

Cheng Tianbi obviously felt it too. He looked up at the air conditioner. It was already set at 30 degrees, but the house was still not very warm. How much had the temperature decreased outside?

Cong Xia said.

"Wait a minute."

He quickly rushed into the bedroom and took out the blankets and the jackets of the owner of the house. Cheng Tianbi could not wear more clothes. After Cong Xia put more clothes on himself, he wrapped the blankets that he took around Cheng Tianbi.

Cheng Tian's condition looked really horrible. His face looked really pale. It was probably not just because of blood loss. Cong Xia said.

"You still had better go to the bedroom to rest, it looks too cold outside, we can't leave for a while, it would be better to get some sleep."

Cheng Tianbi said in exhaustion.

"Cook the monkey, we need to eat something first."

Cong Xia turned his head and looked at the monkey which was covered in blood. He felt his scalp numb.

"So you're hungry? Err... Some of the food we brought is still not spoiled. We should eat those first."

"If you don't eat it now, I'm afraid we won't have another chance to eat fresh meat in the future. You will definitely regret."

Cong Xia looked at Cheng Tianbi awkwardly. He really didn't want to have anything to do with the monkey. He even still avoided looking at it.

Cheng Tianbi did not expect anything from him either. He took out a military knife and walked towards the body. Cong Xia's expression was tangled and twisted, only to hear a 'shluk', the sound of the dagger inserted into the flesh, he felt his whole body was covered with goosebumps.

After quite a while, Cheng Tianbi brought a piece of belly meat into the kitchen. Cong Xia took a few breaths and walked into the kitchen.

"I... I'll do it. Your wound will be split open, you should rest."

Cheng Tianbi coldly looked back at him.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Cong Xia stiffly nodded. Cheng Tianbi threw the bloody piece of meat that still had skin on and walked away.

Cong Xia murmured three times 'This is pork.' and then boiled the water to remove the fur, diced and cooked the meat. In the kitchen, only seasoning condiment and heavy spices like ginger and garlic were not completely off. Cong Xia cooked a large pot of braised meat. From the time he woke up in the early morning until now, he hadn't had meal yet. After the smell reached his nose, he also surrendered.

When squatting in front of the pot of meat, he took another glance at the body of the monkey. When he thought that he might not be able to eat even such a piece of meat, he felt deeply sad in his heart.

Cong Xia put the meat on the coffee table, looked at Cheng Tianbi who was wrapped around by the blankets. His head bowed down and he was sitting on the sofa motionlessly. He approached him and patted his shoulder.

"Mr. Soldier? Let's eat."

Cheng Tianbi slowly raised his head up. His face was pale, his breath was rushing, his entire eyes were bloodshot. At first glance, this was not very usual. Cong Xia worriedly shouted.

"What happens to you?"

Cheng Tianbi whispered.

"Cold."

Cong Xia touched his face. As expected, the feeling was cold, and through the place where he touched his skin, he could feel that Cheng Tianbi was trembling.

Could it be that the wound was infected? He already took anti-inflammatory medicines, alcohol had also been used to wipe, with their limited medicines, this was the only thing could be done, but the thing he worried about the most still happened. Cong Xia worriedly shouted.

"We should go to the hospital, there may still be people in the hospital now."

Cheng Tianbi shook his head.

"It's useless."

He glanced at the pot of meat.

"We eat, then I'll take some rest."

Cong Xia was so worried that his forehead was covered in sweat, but there was no other choice. Now he could only hope that after Cheng Tianbi was full, his immune system could kick in and beat the bacteria.

The pot of meat was really delicious, but Cheng Tianbi had no appetite. His tongue was numb, he was just mechanically doing the action of chewing and swallowing, forcing himself to eat.

The two quickly filled up their stomachs. Cong Xia carried Cheng Tianbi into the bedroom and spread all the thick quilts on the bed. Cheng Tianbi was covered with several layers, but he was still straight up trembling.

Cong Xia sat on the edge of the bed and kept touching the forehead of Cheng Tianbi, but could only feel the body temperature on the palm of his hand was getting lower and lower. His heart was also sinking.

He did not want to face this world alone. If Cheng Tianbi died, he would return to his home and gave up. If even a person who had great survival skills like Cheng Tianbi couldn't survive, he didn't know how he could live on.

Looking at the deathly pale face of Cheng Tianbi, Cong Xia felt very upset. He whispered.

"Mr. Soldier, please don't die."

It was unclear whether Cheng Tianbi could hear him or not. His body could not stop shaking. He felt chilled to the bone. It seemed that these quilts did not work.

Cong Xia clenched his teeth, took off the jacket. With a single coat on, he got under the blanket. He clung tightly onto Cheng Tianbi's body, which still kept shaking.

The ice cold skin also made Cong Xia feel so cold that he trembled all over, but his body quickly adjusted itself. Humans were warm-blooded animals, their body temperature was high, and their heat conduction was fast. It was much more useful than the cover quilts. If this didn't work, he had no other method. If Cheng Tianbi's body temperature continued to drop, he would definitely die. Cong Xia whispered.

"Mr. Soldier, please hang in there, you cannot die. I am too useless, I couldn't help you, if you die, I will not be able to carry on for long and will follow you eventually. I still want to travel the world with you, don't die, I beg you please don't die."

It was uncertain if Cheng Tianbi was conscious or unconscious, but he also hugged Cong Xia back. His force was not like of those of sick people at all, so strong that Cong Xia felt painful in the rib area. Their bodies were tightly attached to one another. Cong Xia's body was like a constant temperature stove, which made Cheng Tianbi finally stop shaking.

Tiredness, exhaustion, pain, all negative emotions were now released on the soft bed. The two held each other tightly and fell asleep.
