Chi Wan said, "After all, we still haven't seen that healer from Baiyi Base, so it's hard to say if they're experiencing something similar."
"But I'm guessing that even if they did have this kind of out-of-control situation, they'd never admit it. After all, they relied on that healer to survive the days when food was scarce."
If the news that 'long-term reliance on a Healing Ability might shorten one's lifespan' got out, Baiyi Base would probably collapse.
Back then, they had no choice but to eat poisonous mushrooms. Even if you told them that too much healing would shorten their lives, they wouldn't have cared.
To be precise, caring would have been useless. They had to eat the mushrooms to survive. If they didn't, and didn't use the Healing Ability, they would have died on the spot. Discussing a shorter lifespan would have been meaningless.
