The room became very quiet and for the first time since waking up, I stopped joking around.
I stared at the leg, then I stared a little longer.
I had survived the apocalypse twice. I had survived starvation, survived zombies, survived Meilan.
But I didn't know if I was going to be able to survive this.
The idea of permanently limping because I had been too stubborn to sit still made me irrationally angry.
"No."
The word came out before I could stop it and Luo Xin nodded, a look of determination on his face. "I agree," he said. Just those two words but they made me both relieved and scared at the same time.
I wasn't 'spider' terrified... but I didn't like the idea of pain either.
"Fix it," I announced and I could feel the eyes of every man in that room on me.
Luo Xin's expression became complicated, like he didn't know how to tell me what came next. But he didn't need to tell me. I already knew that whatever was going on in his mind wasn't a good thing.
