Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 238
Chapter 238: Treatment, Integration
Zhou Chen placed Lucy on the ground and said to her, “You have already become a human, and you are among the stronger ones.”
“This…” Lucy was still at a loss. She raised her arm and looked around before touching herself. She still found it unbelievable because all of this had happened too suddenly, as if it was a dream.
“Li, did you really turn her into a human?” Lucy was surprised, and so was Teresa. She had thought that Zhou Chen was just joking with Lucy, but it seemed to be true.
“Of course. I mean what I say. You can check her if you don’t believe me. Lucy has become a real human. She no longer needs to eat batteries and can enjoy all kinds of delicacies.” Zhou Chen replied calmly.
“That’s great! Captain!” Lucy had confirmed the change in her identity through her examination. She was exulted. She ran straight to Zhou Chen and gave him a huge hug, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
Teresa carefully observed and sensed Lucy’s condition. After confirming that she had really turned into a human, she asked Zhou Chen, “Li, how are you so powerful now? I remember that you didn’t have this ability in the past.”
“This is a little complicated, but it has been so long, it’s normal for me to obtain some new abilities.” Zhou Chen was too lazy to explain in detail and replied simply.
“But your change is too huge. It’s larger than all the changes in the entire Paradise City combined.” Teresa was speechless at his perfunctory reply.
“Li, can you do me a favor? If you can do it, I can let the entire Paradise City promote the faith you mentioned.” The amazing scene before her made Teresa’s mind stir.
“What is it?” Zhou Chen did not directly agree. Although his divine power was omnipotent, his divine power was limited. He could not do things that were too difficult.
“My wife has been contaminated by the apocalyptic pollution and has become a vegetable. I want you to save her.”
“Oh, what’s her power?” Zhou Chen was not surprised that Teresa had a wife. The last time he was here, he learned that Teresa was a lesbian. He just did not expect that she had already found a woman and married.
“She’s just an ordinary person. She doesn’t have any ability.” Teresa explained immediately.
“Alright, leave this to me.”
When he heard that the target was only an ordinary person, Zhou Chen knew that he could easily deal with this matter because it did not take much divine power to revive ordinary people, let alone when it was just healing them.
As a great power that could bring about true miracles, it was way too easy to treat an illness.
“Then let’s head there right away!”
Seeing that Zhou Chen was confident, Teresa was filled with anticipation. She immediately activated her ability and flew to the flying car. Zhou Chen and Lucy immediately followed.
Soon, the three of them returned to Paradise City.
The city looked larger than when Zhou Chen had left. The number of residents had also increased, and it had become more prosperous. However, Teresa did not give him time to enjoy the scene. She directly pulled him to the basement of a medical building in the core area of the city.
There, he saw Teresa’s lover, a comatose woman who was lying quietly on the bed with a pale face. She looked very young, a playful and cute type, but without the support of the large number of machines around her, she might lose all signs of life in the next second.
“Can you do it?” As soon as she arrived, Teresa asked Zhou Chen uneasily. Although Zhou Chen had already guaranteed it, she was still a little worried.
“No problem.” Through his Bloodthirst, Zhou Chen knew that the girl on the bed was brain dead. Only her body was still being maintained by medical technology.
There was no solution to this situation with the level of technology in this world. Ordinary extraordinary methods would not be of any use, but in the face of Zhou Chen’s divine power, curing her was a small matter.
“Divine power, heal this girl on the bed.” With a thought from Zhou Chen, a pure, dignified, and powerful force descended on the girl on the bed in front of him. Then, very quickly, Teresa saw a violent change in the medical equipment interface. The slight signs of life that were close to stagnant became full of vitality.
First, the girl’s heartbeat increased in strength. Then, her brain waves appeared again. Then, the girl’s eyes, which had been closed for an unknown period of time, actually opened!
She first looked at the three people in front of her and wanted to say something, but the breathing mask on her mouth made her voice a little unclear. Then, she tried to sit up.
Tears brimmed in Teresa’s eyes. She rushed to the girl on the bed and helped her up. She turned to look at Zhou Chen.
“She’s completely recovered?”
“Yes, she’s fine. You can remove these devices, but her body is still quite weak. She needs to recuperate.” Zhou Chen nodded and replied.
Zhou Chen only focused on healing this girl and did not strengthen her body. After all, this was not part of the deal.
“Alright, Li, thank you for your help. I’ll do my best to help you.” Teresa was holding the girl on the bed now. She felt the warmth of her body.
“Don’t worry, deal with the things here first. Lucy and I will go out for a walk.”
Zhou Chen knew that Teresa wanted some privacy with her lover, so he immediately left with Lucy and entered the bustling city.
“There are so many new buildings?” First, Zhou Chen noticed that there were more tall buildings in the city, making it seem a little crowded.
Then, he noticed the stronger security. Many patrol cars were moving among the tall buildings to maintain order.
“Yes, Captain. Paradise City has changed a lot in the past few years. All of this is thanks to Leader Teresa’s leadership and protection.” Lucy replied to Zhou Chen.
“Li! Why didn’t you look for us even though you’re back!” Suddenly, a flying car stopped in front of the street. Three women in uniforms walked out of it. The leader shouted at him bitterly.
Two of the three were in their twenties and looked very mature. One of them looked like a young girl.
“Hilda, Ella… Heidi?” Zhou Chen immediately recognized two of the mature women. They were the ranger Hilda and the mutant Ella. As for the slightly unfamiliar girl, she was presumably Hilda’s younger sister, Heidi.
“Big brother!” Seeing that Zhou Chen had recognized her, Heidi, who had been standing still, greeted him.
“Hmm, Heidi, you’re becoming more and more adorable. However, Hilda, Ella, did you two put on some weight?” Zhou Chen joked.
“Li, we haven’t seen each other in years. Can you say something nice?” Hilda was speechless and rolled her eyes.
“I’m joking. What I actually want to say is that all of you are still so young and beautiful after all these years.” Zhou Chen continued to joke.
“Lucy, did you change into a biological body?” Suddenly, mutant Ella, who had extraordinary perception, noticed Lucy’s abnormality. She realized that her body was no longer a humanoid machine but real flesh and blood.
“No, it’s Captain who turned me into a real human!” Lucy immediately replied proudly and placed her hands on her hips.
“Really?” Hilda was intrigued, although she did not quite believe it. She rushed to Lucy’s side and began to examine her.
Lucy immediately could not hold on anymore and began to escape. She was chased by Hilda around Zhou Chen.
“Stop fooling around. If you have time, show me around.” Zhou Chen felt a headache and immediately grabbed them and turned them into guides.
“Alright, Brother Li is finally back. I’ll let you off for now, Lucy!” Hilda clearly did not believe Lucy’s change, but Ella’s eyes were already filled with surprise. Heidi was also skeptical.
However, Ella was not as extroverted as Hilda. She did not say anything and began to wander around the city with Zhou Chen.
The rest of the time went smoothly. Zhou Chen strolled around the city and confirmed that the city was doing well under Teresa’s management. It was a scene of prosperity.
This was normal. When Zhou Chen and Li Guofu left, they had laid a good foundation for Paradise City and destroyed a few hostile forces in the area. Teresa was originally very strong, and after Zhou Chen and Li Guofu left, she became stronger as she grew older. Therefore, guarding Paradise City was not a problem. As for how it was run, it should be because she had gained the support of Hilda and the other talents for the management work.
This stroll continued until evening. Zhou Chen accepted the welcome party organized by Teresa in the mayor’s building.
The few people Zhou Chen knew were all present. Some people who had recently entered the core of this group also took the opportunity to get to know the legendary Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen had disappeared from this world for seven years, his reputation in this world had not faded too much. In fact, in the past few years, Teresa had been advertising to the outside world that Zhou Chen was focused on improving his strength. In the beginning, the surrounding forces had been wary because of this.
This time, Zhou Chen had really returned. Teresa had also released the news to the outside world, making the hostile forces recall the fear Zhou Chen had brought to them.
In fact, with Teresa’s strength, she did not need Zhou Chen’s reputation to succeed. However, she had always wanted to expand the city. Now that Zhou Chen had returned and had become extremely powerful, her ambitions began to burn.
After the banquet, Teresa mentioned this in their private conversation. Zhou Chen decisively expressed his support.
“It is your ambition to unite all the surrounding forces, and it is beneficial to me. I will help you take down all the surrounding territories as soon as possible, and you need to help Lucy with the promotion of faith.” Teresa immediately agreed.
“Li, your power is too amazing. The faith you mentioned doesn’t sound troublesome. I’ll keep my word. As long as it’s a territory that I control, including Paradise City, I will strongly promote your faith. I will also transfer Lucy from her current position to assist you.”
Zhou Chen could hear the trust in Teresa’s words. He had instantly pulled her lover back from the brink of death, giving her a huge shock. She placed great importance on the promotion of faith for Zhou Chen and even planned to invest in it herself.
Zhou Chen was glad that the situation had developed like this. Originally, he did not want to interfere with Paradise City. After all, there were too many people he knew, and he would not feel at ease forcing them. But since Teresa had agreed, he would let Lucy do the preaching here.
Of course, Zhou Chen had to first teach Lucy the relevant knowledge and provide her with support. Then, he had to find time to deal with the nearby forces.
For the current Zhou Chen, he only needed to take out some time to complete a major task like sweeping up the surrounding forces.
Because his current strength already dominated this world. The overlords of this world, the Calamity Grade monsters, were powerless in front of him, let alone the ordinary people and mutants.
He only needed to spend some time eliminating the stubborn people in each area and use the bizarre book to control some obedient leaders and powerful mutants. The other ordinary people were easy to fool. After all, most of the people in this world did not live well. As long as they got some benefits, they did not care who was on top.
Just like that, Zhou Chen’s activities in this world began. Due to the rejection of the world, he did not waste too much time and worked day and night. He also spent some time teaching Lucy how to be a Pope. Sometimes, he would go out and forcibly recruit the entire group of the nearby organizations. Sometimes, he would even go out to hunt Calamity Grade monsters in hopes of obtaining new passive skills.
In about half a month, the world had changed greatly. He had integrated all the territories within 5,ooo kilometers of Paradise City. Nearly a hundred million natives had fallen into the arms of the Lord of Benevolence. Lucy had become the Pope of the Church of Benevolence, and Teresa had also joined and became an envoy.
Speaking of which, Teresa had joined for benefits. When she realized that Zhou Chen had blessed a group of believers with the blessing of the Lord of Benevolence and returned them to their youth, she joined with her wife. Such a miracle was too tempting for a woman. Even someone as powerful as her could not resist the corrosion of time.
Zhou Chen spent half a month completing the arrangements in this world before temporarily leaving this world and returning to the Holy Mountain world that did not exclude him. There, he continued to cultivate the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art and charged towards the Martial Dao Human Immortal Realm..
