Da Laocu saw a gas station. Just as he was feeling happy about it, the very next second he saw over a dozen zombies shaking their heads and swarming over.
Yan Jiasui immediately pulled out her handgun and shouted, "There are not many zombies, let's finish this quickly!"
These zombies had not reached the level where wasting supernatural abilities was necessary.
Yan Jiasui was the first to get out of the car. Facing the foul-smelling wind, she charged fiercely into the zombie horde. She dodged a sharp claw from the left with a sideways movement, swung her military knife, and a zombie's head flew smoothly into midair.
With several people working together, the zombies were wiped out in no time.
Looking at Ji Zhaoxi beside him, He Qiuyun suddenly wanted to show off in front of her. He kicked at the zombie in front of him, but the zombie did not move an inch, and his calf ended up getting scratched instead.
"Ah—"
He Qiuyun let out a miserable shriek.
Ji Zhaoxi was also startled and quickly fired her gun to kill the zombie.
Da Laocu looked at He Qiuyun in disbelief, "He Qiuyun, were you sleepwalking just now? How could you get scratched by just this handful of zombies?"
He Qiuyun's face flushed bright red.
Yan Jiasui frowned and examined He Qiuyun's wound, "It's okay, the wound isn't deep."
She looked at Ji Zhaoxi, "Zhaoxi, I'll have to trouble you in a bit."
Ji Zhaoxi squeezed out a smile.
Are you kidding me? Having to waste her ability on this?
Although Ji Zhaoxi was a healing-type ability user, her body had a flaw: while healing others, she was also consuming her own life force because her body's metabolic rate was several times that of an ordinary person.
Therefore, she had to constantly replenish herself with crystal cores.
And the crystal cores of ability users were exceptional tonics for her.
The group went to the gas station together. There was a small convenience store inside with not many items, but it hadn't been ransacked yet.
Wen Ruixin packed up all the food.
Yan Jiasui spotted a white dress in the corner, "Zhaoxi, do you want this?"
Everyone knew that Ji Zhaoxi loved wearing white dresses the most.
Wen Ruixin chuckled. Ji Zhaoxi's ears turned red, and she immediately refused.
On the way back, because she had to help heal He Qiuyun, Ji Zhaoxi had been in a bad mood.
When He Qiuyun told her jokes, she didn't laugh, and no matter what he said, she pretended not to hear.
The others in the car noticed Ji Zhaoxi's unusual behavior.
"What's wrong, Zhaoxi?" He Qiuyun looked at her with some concern.
Ji Zhaoxi didn't want to talk to him and said with a bitter face, "It's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted."
He Qiuyun frowned, "Did healing me make you exhausted?"
He handed a few zombie crystal cores to Ji Zhaoxi.
Ji Zhaoxi's eyes instantly lit up. Even though they were from zombies, it was still better than nothing.
Seeing her happy, He Qiuyun also felt happy, "Zhaoxi, don't listen to the nonsense of those people in the building, you look extremely pretty in white dresses."
"Thank you."
The man next to them let out another laugh.
Ji Zhaoxi was speechless. Was there something wrong with Pei Yufeng? Why was he always targeting her all day long?
Once back in the house, Yan Jiasui began to distribute the supplies to everyone.
The ability users received the most, while the others without abilities could only get a few bites.
But it couldn't be helped; she had to ensure the ability users had enough energy first.
When night fell, He Qiuyun suddenly developed a persistent high fever.
"His ability must be upgrading," a hint of a smile flashed across Yan Jiasui's eyes.
Now their team had grown a lot stronger.
"Zhaoxi, you'll have to work hard again tonight."
"It's no trouble at all!" Ji Zhaoxi smiled at Yan Jiasui.
She loved doing this kind of work the most.
Yan Jiasui's eyes curved in a smile, and she handed her two cans of luncheon meat, which Ji Zhaoxi immediately stuffed into her own bag.
Filthy liquid continuously oozed from He Qiuyun's body. Da Laocu held his breath and wiped He Qiuyun's body with a cold towel.
"This kind of work should be done by you women. How can us rough men be that meticulous?" Da Laocu wanted to slack off.
Ji Zhaoxi frowned, "Who says so? You men have a lot of strength, so you are perfectly suited for this."
She definitely didn't want to touch those dirty things on He Qiuyun's body.
After a long time, He Qiuyun's body stopped oozing those substances, and Ji Zhaoxi pressed both her hands against He Qiuyun's chest.
Healing energy continuously surged into He Qiuyun's body, and his deeply furrowed brows slowly smoothed out.
The energy within his body constantly tore apart, healed, tore apart again, and healed again.
He Qiuyun's energy gradually became familiar with the presence of Ji Zhaoxi's energy.
People kept looking in from the doorway, watching for a while before leaving. After a long time, there was hardly anyone left in the building, and many had gone to sleep. Ji Zhaoxi was still sitting beside He Qiuyun, helping to soothe him.
"Actually, Ji Zhaoxi is quite nice. Every time someone awakens their ability, she is always there."
"Even though she is a bit manipulative, she is indeed a good person."
The kind-hearted Ji Zhaoxi was, at this moment, quietly planting her ability tentacles around He Qiuyun's crystal core.
These tentacles usually acted as anesthetics and tonics, but whenever Ji Zhaoxi wanted to make a move in the future, they would turn into cutting wires, allowing her to better extract the ability user's crystal core while they were still alive.
Pei Yufeng lay on the sofa and closed his eyes. He calmly spread out his mental force field, spying on the room inside.
He saw Ji Zhaoxi's ability extending thin tubes. They precisely avoided the virus and instead tightly entangled He Qiuyun's fire ability.
Pei Yufeng's eyes snapped open, and he frowned deeply.
What the hell was that?
Could Ji Zhaoxi have planted those things in the brains of every ability user?
The next day, He Qiuyun woke up.
He looked at the drowsy Ji Zhaoxi beside him, his eyes full of emotion, and he silently muttered in his heart.
Ming Fei, Zhaoxi is indeed a wonderful girl. No wonder you liked her so much.
Since you left first, let me take care of her for you.
Ji Zhaoxi groggily felt someone looking at her. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw He Qiuyun smiling brightly.
"Qiuyun, you are finally awake, you worried me to death." Ji Zhaoxi shed tears pattering down.
He Qiuyun's crystal core was indeed much better than Ming Fei's.
She would let him nurture his crystal core a bit more.
Seeing the tears Ji Zhaoxi shed for him, He Qiuyun felt utterly satisfied, "Zhaoxi, I made you worry about me. I won't be like this again."
Ji Zhaoxi nodded with red eyes.
He Qiuyun really wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of scaring her, after all, she was so fragile.
"Zhaoxi, you must be hungry." He Qiuyun looked at the cabinet not far away.
"Behind that wall is a small switch. The key is in the hidden compartment of the cabinet next to you. After turning on the switch, go to the third tier and open the fifth box inside. There is a hidden box there. Whatever you want in the future, you can take directly from it."
He Qiuyun was a fire ability user. He always gathered a lot of supplies; besides food, there were also many weapons.
Ji Zhaoxi understood his meaning. She sat in her seat and lowered her head shyly.
Looking at her red ears, He Qiuyun's heart overflowed with happiness.
