Chapter 45 It Turns Out to Be Liked

Xu Zhiyang wrapped his arms around Zhu Ci's neck and buried his face in Zhu Ci's shoulder. His breath was hot and trembling.

"Are you about to cry?" Zhu Ci hugged Xu Zhiyang back and felt that he was trembling slightly.

Xu Zhiyang said in a muffled voice: "No, I won't cry."

Zhu Ci laughed deep in his voice, "Then get up from my arms first. I can't hold you now."

"What?" Xu Zhiyang sat up straight and suddenly felt something sticky in his hand. When he opened his palm, it was covered in blood.

"Where are you hurt?" Xu Zhiyang said as she tried to lift his clothes, but Zhu Ci grabbed her wrist and said, "It's okay, let's get out of here first."

"Then I'll carry you."

As he said this, Xu Zhiyang turned his back to Zhu Ci and was about to squat down.

Zhu Ci pulled him and said, "No, you can still walk."

"Then I'll hold you." Xu Zhiyang pulled Zhu Ci's arm and put it on his shoulder, helping him walk slowly back to Momo.

Mu Ke: “…” The world is not worth it.

Fortunately, Qin Shiyu was sensible and quickly pulled Li Huiyin over to help carry him over.

The two injured people were placed under the shade of a tree. Xu Zhiyang squatted down and gently pulled open Zhu Ci's clothes. After seeing the injuries on his body clearly, he took a breath.

"What is that thing..." Xu Zhiyang's hands were shaking, "It's on my waist...it almost...broke in two..."

"Don't look at it, you are timid and you will be scared again." Zhu Ci endured the pain and stroked the small mole at the end of Xu Zhiyang's eyebrow.

"Close your eyes and heal it."

Xu Zhiyang shook her head: "I'm fine."

Xu Zhiyang gently covered the wound with his hands, mobilizing all his energy. The warm and comfortable energy flowed through the wound on Zhu Ci's waist, relieving the pain. The cracked skin and flesh healed quickly as the energy flowed.

Mu Ke on the side opened his eyes wide and saw that Zhu Ci's skin and flesh were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The light-colored energy rotated around and around until all the wounds were healed and restored to their original appearance.

"There's not even a scar?"

Qin Shiyu smiled and said, "Brother Mu, now you know I didn't lie to you, right?"

Mu Ke leaned against the tree and said thankfully, "Fortunately, Wang Xiangcheng didn't know his ability, otherwise no one would be able to leave this time."

"Okay." Xu Zhiyang transferred energy to Zhu Ci. He could feel that Zhu Ci's energy was exhausted, not even a bit left.

Qin Shiyu: "Second brother, heal Brother Mu and we will leave here."

Xu Zhiyang: "Okay."

About ten minutes later, all the wounds on Mu Ke's body healed. His injuries were actually more serious than Zhu Ci's. Several of his fingers were broken, his leg bones were violently broken, and his ribs were sunken, almost piercing his heart.

The two people who recovered felt like they were reborn, but the energy they had consumed still needed to be replenished slowly after rest.

Momo was full of energy, and several people climbed onto Momo's back and continued on their journey.

"So Brother Mu, were you forced away by those bugs in your house?" Qin Shiyu asked.

Mu Ke nodded. "Well, after the apocalypse, I hid at home until the third world mutation you mentioned. That morning, I woke up and found a hole corroded in the window."

"I used something to patch it up, but when I got down to the first floor, I discovered a wall densely covered in blood-sucking bugs. When I was trying to escape with Momo, I accidentally got bitten. I had no choice but to use a knife to peel away the flesh, leaving only the bone visible. It wasn't until Brother Xu treated me just now that the wound healed."

Qin Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm relieved to see that Brother Mu is okay, but how did you and Momo separate?"

Mu Ke: "After escaping, I lost too much blood and fainted. When I woke up, I found that I had been taken back by the Six Gods Gang. Momo was nowhere to be found. During this period, I came back to look for it many times."

"It's very curious." Qin Shiyu gently stroked Momo's fur. "I guess it was attracted away by the sight of a bird or something."

Mu Ke smiled lightly: "I'm glad you're okay."

Li Huiyin leaned over and said, "But speaking of this, Brother Mu, what on earth is that Six Gods Gang?"

"The Six Gods Gang is led by six people with special abilities. Wang Xiangcheng is only the boss in name only. In fact, the Six Gods Gang has a truly powerful evolver, but I have never met him."

"The Six Gods Gang's daily affairs are managed by Wang Xiangcheng. He has over a hundred psychics and evolvers under him, and Li Yidao is one of them. However, Li Yidao's energy is too weak, so he can only rob things in the city and look for good-looking people to bring back."

Hearing this, Zhu Ci's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "No wonder Li Yidao wanted to take Xu Zhiyang away that day."

"That rubbish deserves death!" Li Huiyin hugged her best friend, "How dare you think about my Xu Xiaoyang! Don't you even consider whether our eldest brother agrees?"

"...Stop messing around." Xu Zhiyang dodged for a moment and said sternly, "From what Brother Mu said about the people backing the Six Gods Gang, it seems their strength shouldn't be underestimated. I'm lucky I didn't run into them this time."

Li Huiyin nodded: "But speaking of which, why didn't Ah Yang come out this time?"

"I don't know." Xu Zhiyang shrugged. "It seems like he's having a quarrel."

Qin Shiyu: "Are you quarreling?"

Xu Zhiyang looked at Zhu Ci with a smile, "He seems to still be angry about Mr. Zhu not pulling him in that day."

Zhu Ci had been with Xu Zhiyang for a long time now, and knew that he was just joking when he called him that, so he raised his hand and tapped him on the forehead.

"It hurts." Xu Zhiyang muttered softly.

Zhu Ci's eyes were like a melting lake. He glanced at Xu Zhiyang lightly, then raised his hand to rub his forehead. When he withdrew his hand, Xu Zhiyang felt his fingertips brushing against the small mole at the end of her eyebrow.

Xu Zhiyang's heartbeat was abnormal and he held his breath for a few seconds. He stared at Zhu Ci for a moment, then realized what was going on and quickly looked away.

Xu Zhiyang knew that she was finished.

He has always been clear about his own thoughts.

He Xu Zhiyang... fell in love with Zhu Ci.

If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have almost cried when he saw Zhu Ci coming back just now.

In the previous life, Zhu Ci and Xu Zhiyang were not teammates. Xu Zhiyang followed his brother, and Zhu Ci was affiliated with the government. They had collaborated many times.

Zhu Ci had also protected him many times.

Xu Zhiyang suddenly laughed. No wonder she always wanted to anger Zhu Ci in her previous life. In fact, she liked him but didn't dare to say it.

Living life over again, my mind is clearer and I have self-awareness.

But now, Xu Zhiyang looked at the man sitting in front of her who was shielding her from the wind.

I hesitated for a long time, feeling that the timing was not right, and I didn't have the courage.

"What are you doing? Why are you sighing while looking at big brother's back?" Li Huiyin bumped him with her shoulder.

Xu Zhiyang was startled, but when she saw it was her, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay."

Li Huiyin knew him too well, "Don't be perfunctory with me, what are you thinking?"

Zhu Ci turned around and glanced at the two of them. Xu Zhiyang held his gaze for a moment before looking away and whispering, "I'll tell you in two days. I... don't know how to say it."

Li Huiyin stared at Xu Zhiyang suspiciously for a while, "I'll trust you for now, but don't hide anything from yourself!"
