God seemed to have heard Spitwagen's prayers. Mia's condition was improving rapidly, her face had color, and her body had returned to normal temperature.

Night falls.

Mia, who had been unconscious for a long time, slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?" Dio, who had been standing by the bed, spoke cautiously, with unconcealable nervousness and worry on his face.

Mia blinked and said her first words after waking up: "I'm hungry."

"You..." Dio lowered his head, suppressing a hint of crying in his voice, "Can't you say something appropriate for such a touching scene?"

"Eat something to regain your health. Don't you think the situation is right?" Mia tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"There are only cans, you can eat them if you like." Dio snorted coldly and went to warm up the cans for the idiot.

When Mia counted the first sheep, Dio took back the bowl of strange-colored paste.

She was just about to sit up, but Dio seemed to have learned how to read minds. He took the first step to help her up by holding her shoulders, and thoughtfully stuffed a pillow behind her waist.

Seeing Dio's indifferent expression and feeling his gentle movements, Mia was stunned: "Huh?"

Long live! Tsundere actually cares about people. In the past, only mothers could enjoy this kind of treatment.

"Ah, what? Eat." Dio said with a sullen face, scooping up a spoonful of the paste and poking it at Mia's mouth.

Mia's eyes were watery and she looked desperate: "Dior, am I going to die?"

"what?"

"Is it hospice care that you care so much about me? It's like all the Avengers appeared in front of the hospital bed, woo woo woo..."

"???"

After dinner, Mia slept until the next morning.

After she woke up, her injuries had healed a lot and she could walk. Spitwagen said she was a miracle.

Over the next few days, the three huddled in the shelter, waiting for Cook to give up the pursuit so they could escape.

During this period, Dior was extremely gentle to Mia. His spring-like warm care made Mia feel uncomfortable all over. She always felt that she really had an incurable disease and would die in the next second.

As for Spitwagen, Mia didn't expect that this man looked serious, but he was actually a joke. He comes to her every day to play cards with Dio and brag, in the name of boosting morale.

Day five in the shelter.

Dio untied Mia's bandage and saw that the bullet hole was covered with fair skin.

He touched it with very light force and found that only the scalp grew there, without the skull. It felt like a soft water ball.

Mia shrank forward, avoiding Dio's fingers: "Don't touch it, it's itchy."

"It's because you're ticklish." Dio raked her hair skillfully and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Can your bones grow back?"

Mia tilted her head: "Maybe?"

Although she couldn't see what was going on in her head, she felt that her brain should be recovering slowly, otherwise a mentally retarded person would not be able to have normal intelligence and be active and active.

Since the brain can grow well, there is no reason why even a small bone cannot grow well.

To be honest, Mia had no idea that her super power was so powerful that it could cure brain injuries.

With this regenerative ability, it would be no exaggeration to say that she is related to earthworms.

More importantly, at the moment she was shot, she felt that the mysterious beast seemed to have done something to reduce the power of the bullet, allowing her to survive by chance.

She covets this ability to resist harm. After all, no matter how strong her regeneration ability is, she is only a human being and will die if her vitals are injured.

Unfortunately, she tried several times afterwards, but could not grasp the mysterious power.

However, the beast lives in her body anyway, and life is so long that she can always learn it slowly.

Moreover, she always had a feeling that the beast's power was derived from a certain key point.

That damage reduction effect is just one type of strength. In the future, she can get more!

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door of the shelter.

Mia's heart suddenly lifted.

Spitwagen had told her that this sanctuary was known only to himself and two of his confidants.

Spitwagen would occasionally go up to check on the situation and find an opportunity to escape. But he was still drinking coffee in the living room of the shelter, so there was no way he was the one who knocked.

And his two confidants had long been arrested by Cook, so it was impossible for them to be knocking on the door.

So……

Could it be that Cook came to visit?

"You guys hide behind the table."

After Spitwagen whispered, he took out a machete from the cabinet and went to open the door.

There are many weapons in the cabinets of the shelter. Knives, machetes, iron bars and the like are all available, so you won't be defenseless if you start a fight.

Mia nodded, ran to the cabinet, and unceremoniously took the machete.

Dio followed and followed suit, then squatted next to Mia and warned uneasily: "Don't run around, you know? Be careful to open another hole in your head."

"I know." Mia stuck her head out and paid attention to the door.

There is only one door to the shelter. If it is blocked by Cook and his gang, they will have to fight with their last resort.

Spitwagen and Cook were enemies, and being caught would mean death.

She and Dio had already offended Cook because of their escape, and they would definitely not end well if they were caught.

dong dong dong.

Spitwagen knocked on the door several times in a strange rhythm.

The person outside the gate seemed to have gotten some information and knocked a few times in a different rhythm.

Spitwagen pondered for a moment and opened the door a little.

crunch--

Sunlight poured into the shelter through the cracks in the door, and Mia saw the blurry figures outside.

With her heart pounding, she tightened her grip on the machete.

who is it?

Cook? A stray passerby?

The figure said in surprise: "Boss, you escaped too?!"

"I escaped a few days ago. It's a pity that you were not locked up in the same place as me, otherwise I could have rescued you at that time." Spitwagen breathed a sigh of relief and turned sideways to let the people outside come in.

The visitors slipped into the shelter through the crack in the door, and Mia saw their appearance clearly.

They were two men of average height.

One has a conspicuous purple butterfly tattoo that almost covers the upper half of his face; the other has an Asian appearance and wears red feather hairpins behind both ears.

Spitwagen pointed at the two people who came in: "They are the two confidants I mentioned. The one with the tattoo is called Tattoo; the other is Chinese, called Goudan."

Mia nodded and said hello obediently. Dio looked at them quietly, his eyes uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, hello, hello." Goudan squatted down and spoke in Chinese-accented English with a silly smile.

Tattoo touched his chin and asked strangely: "Boss, where did this kid come from?"

Spitwagen patted Tattoo's shoulder: "Even though they are young, they are already very powerful. Your boss was rescued by them!"

Tattoo doubted: "Just rely on them?"

Seeing the tattoo and not believing it, Spittwagan briefly told the story in the cell.

Tattoo's eyes lit up and he became more enthusiastic: "Thank you, little guy! When we came here, we thought about how to save the boss for a long time. I'll treat you to a drink in two days!"

"What are you drinking?" Goudan was unhappy, "Don't listen to the tattoo nonsense, I'll treat you to Mapo Tofu, my specialty!"

Spitwagen laughed: "Goudan's craftsmanship is very good, and the Chinese food he makes is..."

"Wait a minute." Dio interrupted with a cold face, "How did Tattoo and Goudan escape?"

Seeing that the boss's words were interrupted, the two younger brothers subconsciously frowned and their expressions darkened.

"It's okay." Speedwagon waved his hand to ease the tense atmosphere, "You tell him. Dio is very thoughtful and his brain is better than that of adults."

The younger brothers looked at each other and didn't quite understand why the boss was so kind to a kid with unknown origins, but they still talked about their own escape experience.

They were locked in different cells, but their escape experiences were surprisingly similar - they both took advantage of the guard's unpreparedness today, knocked him out and got the key.

After they came out, they all subconsciously wanted to gather at the shelter, so they met each other halfway and came together.

Dio's expression changed: "Something's wrong..."

"What's wrong?" Tattoo didn't like this impolite brat and retorted gruffly, "We all escaped successfully!"

Dio looked ugly and spoke faster: "Don't you think it went too smoothly? Spitwagen had just escaped not long ago. Cook should have asked his men to increase the security in the cell. How could he be released in one day? Run away from you two?”

"Smooth..." Spitwagen also felt something was wrong, frowned and stamped his feet.

Dio raised his voice: "Cook deliberately let you go! He wants to find a refuge through you!"

Tattoo and Goudan's eyes widened in horror, and their faces turned pale when they thought of their similar prison escape experiences.

Mia swallowed and silently took an extra iron rod.

The shelter was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the tense atmosphere made the air freeze.

Boom boom boom!

There was a loud banging sound at the shelter door.

Cook, here we come!
