Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 393: A Paradise for Humanity
"Is that really possible? Has Lu Ke recovered from her illness?" Wang Jin asked worriedly. Cancer is a terminal illness; it’s deadly.
Lu Ke is so likable, Wang Jin certainly doesn’t want her to fall ill or anything bad to happen.
"She’s cured, otherwise how could she be so healthy now? Ever since we arrived on this planet, our immunity has become exceptionally strong, and we rarely get sick. Have any of you been ill?" Xu Yi said, glancing at everyone.
"No, I haven’t gotten sick at all. I used to catch colds frequently, but I’ve not had a single one since coming here," Wang Jin said very earnestly.
"I used to have leukemia, but after coming here, I recovered," Qin Chao said.
Everybody nodded in agreement; no one has gotten sick since arriving on this planet.
Lu Ke’s case was probably a result of her brain undergoing an abnormal change, not necessarily sickness.
After all, since that incident, Lu Ke’s hearing improved dramatically, nearly matching Xu Yi’s level.
As for her mutation, Xu Yi can’t be sure if the enhancement agent played any role.
"Does this mean this is a disease-free world?" Cheng Jie asked in astonishment. If that’s the case, wouldn’t many people want to come to Spirit Blue Star?
No matter the cost, everyone would be willing to pay, right?
"Indeed, on this planet, most viruses likely have no environment to thrive in, as they can’t infect any living organism. As soon as they enter, they’re eliminated by the immune system," Su Yan said. She actually brought a microscope and found very few microbes in the water.
Enhancements don’t manifest on viruses or bacteria.
If leukemia can self-heal, will people still have diseases after arriving in this world?
"So does this mean many patients will become healthier after coming here?" Lu Yao asked excitedly; she has relatives who are not in good health.
"Theoretically, that’s true. However, I think mutations like Lu Ke’s will be quite rare," Su Yan explained, based on her perspective.
"Being healthy is the most important thing. If my mom could come to this planet, she would recover too," Zhou Mo said with some envy. He and his father Zhou Chun participated in the challenge to raise money for his mother’s treatment.
"We have a chance. If we complete the 500-day challenge, this planet will belong to humanity, right?" Lu Ke said with a smile, as she has a particular understanding of health.
Compared to other things, health is truly important. With a healthy body, everything else follows.
"Surely countless people would want to live here, right? Without diseases, everyone could live to over a hundred years. Without diseases, theoretically, we could live to 140 or 150 years," Qin Fan said, glancing at Su Yan, as she is the team’s only doctor.
"Yes, at least we could live that long. In reality, possibly even longer," Su Yan nodded. Despite the harsh climate here, without diseases, humans truly could live longer.
"Doesn’t this make it humanity’s ideal paradise?" Wang Jin asked, blinking.
"Not necessarily, paradise doesn’t have Fierce Beasts. While there are no diseases, there are powerful Fierce Beasts. In old age, even ordinary Fierce Beasts can kill you, much more brutal than diseases. You all should know, the Fierce Beasts we’re dealing with now are already very strong, yet they are actually the weakest batch on this planet. Even the organizers can’t claim they can handle every creature here," Xu Yi felt they were being too optimistic. This world might not have diseases, but Fierce Beasts can easily take lives.
Today, didn’t five people get killed by Fierce Beasts?
It’s important to know these people had lived on Spirit Blue Star for some time and had activated telekinesis.
If they hadn’t, more than five would have died.
And their numbers are relatively small; more people would mean more deaths.
Indeed, this planet has no diseases, yet it harbors Fierce Beasts far more ferocious than any illness!
Their hot weapons hadn’t given them much advantage on this planet.
Even advanced weapons like the Thunder Strike Gun have lost their effectiveness, haven’t they?
Hearing Xu Yi say this, everyone couldn’t help but nod.
The weakest batch has already given them trouble to handle. If ordinary people came in, there would be countless casualties.
Even the organizers with their advanced technology can’t deal with everything, let alone humans.
Thinking of living for a hundred years is a bit of wishful thinking; that’s a rare privilege for a select few.
Despite this, viewers in the live stream still expressed their desire to come live on Spirit Blue Star.
"Oh no, my meat got burnt," Wang Jin said, as she had been too engrossed in her thoughts, overcooking her meat a bit.
This Fierce Beast Chicken meat is very tender and, with a bit of pepper and salt, exceptionally delicious.
At dinner, everyone was stuffed again, and afterward, they had to perform a few sets of Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening to aid digestion.
Afterward, they resumed training.
Xu Yi sat by two Fierce Beast Chickens, ready to use Taming Skills on them every hour.
At 11 PM, Xu Yi had just used Taming Skills on one of them and realized he succeeded.
He was somewhat surprised but also pleased.
So, Xu Yi untied the rope of the Fierce Beast Chicken.
The Black Qilin nearly bit it and had to be stopped by Xu Yi.
The Fierce Beast Chicken was quite afraid of the Black Qilin, showing wariness and raising its scales.
Xu Yi soothed it for a while before calming it down.
"Xu Yi, did you tame it?" Qin Yue, watching over the first half of the night, came over to ask, noticing the commotion.
"Yes, I tamed one," Xu Yi replied and patted the head of the Fierce Beast Chicken.
Since it had just been tamed by Xu Yi, it was still quite close to him.
"That’s great, we have a second Fierce Beast," Qin Chao said excitedly.
"Come, give it a try," Xu Yi said, pointing at Qin Chao.
"Me?" Qin Chao was quite surprised; he always thought this tame creature should be for Lu Ke.
But unexpectedly, Xu Yi was letting him try.
"Yes, let’s see if it can carry you," Xu Yi believed Lu Ke wouldn’t like this kind of Fierce Beast Chicken, and its combat power was too weak. Xu Yi hoped to give Lu Ke a Black Qilin or even a Fiercer Beast, as her mount.
That way, Zhou Ke’s safety would be better assured.
