Chapter 106: The Broken Leg That Cannot Heal
16:30.
Mista had successfully driven the SUV back to meet up with Li Qing and the others, and drove them out of the mall for several minutes.
“Ahhhh!!!”
As the car was driving, bursts of shrill howling were heard all the time.
Those shouts mixed with heavy breathing were loud, piercing and very penetrating, attracting the attention of drivers and pedestrians passing by on the road.
Feeling the strange gaze that could be fixed on him through the car window glass, Li Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but feel uneasy:
“Hello…”
He couldn't help but turned around and said to the muscular men who were howling like pigs being slaughtered:
"Can you lower your voice a little?"
"I don't want to be taken away by the police in a foreign country for some weird reasons."
"That's easy to say!"
Fugo clenched his teeth tightly, his face covered with cold sweat:
"Reshaping flesh, blood and nerves inch by inch, this kind of pain...if you have the guts, try it yourself!"
“ Damn it …”
He looked down at his legs that had not yet fully grown:
"Why... can this kind of thing... happen to me twice in half an hour?!"
"Betraying the organization was a mistake... Counting that bastard Orlanto... I'm at least 'dead' now... Damn it... I've died so many times I can't even count!"
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Golden Experience mashed a piece of cement into flesh and blood, and pressed it lightly on Fuge's half-grown broken leg, which immediately aroused his heart-wrenching wail.
The process of reshaping flesh and blood is extremely painful.
In order to restore the complex and delicate limbs of the human body, this treatment process cannot be completed all at once and can only be repaired slowly, bit by bit.
Before Fugo, the seriously injured Bucciarati, Abbazi, Narancia and Giorno himself had all undergone the "no-anesthesia surgery" for full-body recovery of the Golden Experience.
First, the broken bones and tissues are cut out, and then filled back with pieces of meat made of mud. This process is obviously extremely painful.
So, even though the injuries had in fact healed, Bucciarati and the others still collapsed in their seats, exhausted, with cold sweat of pain and fatigue on their foreheads.
"This...what on earth did you just encounter?"
Mista asked in shock and fear as he drove carefully.
He had originally wanted to complain in detail about his misfortune of encountering the enemy alone in the underground garage, but now seeing the miserable plight of Bucciarati and others, he realized that his previous separation from the main force was not a misfortune at all, but the greatest luck.
“ It’s hard to put it into words …”
Bucciarati sighed deeply and immediately reminded:
"Let's not talk about these things first. Let's just concentrate on driving."
"Since you made such a big noise in the underground garage and killed a member of the SS, the enemy will definitely know that we were there immediately."
"So you have to be careful next. Follow the route I planned and avoid the road surveillance and outer sentries."
"If we make a wrong turn, our tracks could be exposed to the enemy."
The Passion organization has a strong control over Italy. Fortunately, Bucciarati is the local boss of Naples and is able to ensure that everyone will not be discovered so quickly during their escape.
Mista immediately nodded seriously and drove carefully according to Bucciarati's instructions.
By this time, Fugo's injuries had almost healed.
Golden Experience used up all the cement blocks he had brought on board the car before he finally managed to repair his legs, which had been crushed into a paste, bit by bit.
"call…"
Giorno let out a long sigh of relief. He was exhausted from all the fighting and treatment.
"Fugo, give it a try."
"This is also the first time I have made such a complete and complex human limb. The product... well... may have some minor flaws."
"Flaw?" Fugo's face darkened to the extreme.
Having once experienced a lump of flesh growing under his head, he really didn't want to grow a pair of strange legs again.
Under Giorno's helpless look of "it's useless to look at me", he could only bite the bullet and adapt to his newly grown legs, trying hard to move them to test their performance.
"It seems to be okay..."
Fugo gave a relatively positive user experience, then left his seat a little and squatted in the fairly spacious carriage:
"The strength is quite good, it's okay."
“Try flexibility again…”
Fugo sat back in his seat, raised his legs and moved his knees and ankles arbitrarily.
And then… snap…
With a strange sound of flesh and blood being torn apart, Fuge's newly grown feet were broken.
It did not break cleanly like being chopped by a knife or an axe, but rather it seemed as if it had been corroded by something, and it drooped down limply with the flesh and tendons that were about to break.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Fugo once again let out that howl that was extremely unfriendly to people with keen hearing, causing Li Qing to want to cover his ears.
But this time the howling was not due to actual pain, but because of unprecedented shock:
In fact, he didn't feel any pain at all just now.
It was like someone had given him some powerful anesthetic and then chopped off his feet without realizing it.
"Egg, egg roll head!"
Fugo called out the nickname he gave Giorno rudely, and said with a pale face:
"Can this be called a small, minor flaw?"
"My foot...it rotted away by itself!!"
"Forehead…"
After all, Fugo single-handedly tricked "Dio" into stopping time and giving him several seconds of "Team Shield", so Giorno felt a little embarrassed for providing him with a shoddy product:
"I'm sorry, I really don't have much experience... Let me try again."
As he spoke, the golden experience reappeared around Giorno.
It kneaded the remaining cement blocks into a healthy ball of flesh, then held up Fugo's broken legs and heavily filled the rotten gap.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
Fugo was in so much pain that his whole body bent like a shrimp, and the noise pollution came out of his mouth again.
“Ok, okay?”
He asked breathlessly, wanting to cry but without tears.
"It should be fine."
"The flesh and blood I created this time is definitely healthy and normal. It won't rot so quickly."
Giorno made this promise, and then...
Silently...
The piece of healthy flesh that had just been repaired soon began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What’s even more terrifying is that a patch of light green fluff gradually grew on the wound of rotten flesh.
These tiny hairs are interconnected and densely attached to Fugo's limbs like a spider web, constantly extending, spreading and growing.
Wherever it passed, flesh and blood were rotted.
“This…this…”
"Villus, flocculent, spider web structure, abnormal light green color..."
As a top student, Fugo quickly recognized these little guys who were devouring his flesh and blood in horror:
“This is a fungal colony…”
"Impossible... How can there be fungi in the world that grow so fast... My feet are almost being eaten away!"
He swallowed and shouted to Giorno in panic:
"Giorno...how could your inexplicable ability create this kind of mutant man-eating fungus!"
"this…"
Giorno was startled at first, but his expression quickly turned serious:
"No, this could not have been created by my powers."
“Golden Experience only creates what I want to create, and it can’t produce any unexpected products.”
"Could it be..."
"This is a Stand attack!"
Abbaccio expressed with a serious expression what Giorno was thinking.
He raised his green hairy hand and said, "I got it, too."
"What?"
The others hurriedly checked their bodies and were horrified to find that each of them had a small colony of light green fungus growing on their bodies.
These fungal colonies take root in human flesh like stubborn athlete's foot, while multiplying and spreading uncontrollably like cancer cells.
The flesh and blood are devoured by the bacteria, and even the bones will decay.
In short, they are eating people.
"How is that possible?!"
Mista stepped on the brakes and looked at his chest covered with green hair in the mirror:
"Where are the enemies? When did they start? How did these fungi infect me?"
"Also... we just left the mall not long ago, and we were following the safe route provided by Bucciarati... How could the enemy discover our tracks so quickly?!"
He asked a lot of questions in one breath.
Li Qing answered one of them:
"No... I'm afraid they haven't found any trace of us."
He looked out the window:
The once bustling and bustling street suddenly became dead silent and terrifying.
Vehicles were parked in a haphazard manner on the road, and the drivers and passengers inside were slumped over, gasping for breath, no longer having the strength to escape or call for help.
Pedestrians collapsed on the side of the road with looks of fear on their faces, their bodies covered with that creepy green fuzz.
Those bacteria that feed on human flesh and blood are devouring their bodies wantonly, causing them to die in great fear as their flesh and blood disappear bit by bit.
The entire neighborhood has turned into such a hell on earth.
The car that Li Qing and his group were riding in was just a small boat that broke into this hell.
“Damn it!”
Li Qing clenched his teeth tightly, his face filled with unspeakable anger.
Yes, in this "game world", he felt anger like never before.
"Those scumbags didn't even notice us. They wanted to..."
"Destroy the entire city in one fell swoop!"
