The blood orchid, which was a deep red, was a type of fairy grass that existed in legends. People were convinced that it could get rid of diseases and prolong life. Perhaps even make them live forever.
The middle-aged man quietly laid on the ground listening to the sound of gunfire not too far in the distance. He continued eating the blood orchids he had reached. His body did not react much at first. Gradually, he felt changes in his body. It was as if something was burning him inside. The heat was slowly spreading throughout his body.
It worked, and it was fast!
As his body recovered, he began to regain some strength. He continued to eat the blood orchids like a cow chewing peonies.
"What about the people?" someone shouted.
"Here it is!" another voice shouted.
The middle-aged mand soon heard footsteps. Someone was coming quickly toward his side.
He took a deep breath and laid on the ground.
