Ye Yiyi: "System, what kind of joke are you playing? You want me, a weak woman without the strength to truss a chicken, to go to an apocalypse swarming with zombies and save that awesome female...
Chapter 55: Changes in the Relationship Between the Two
Ye Yiyi was stunned after hearing this, and finally pursed her lips, not knowing what Yang Luoliu wanted to express with his last sentence.
The whole room fell into silence. After a long time, Ye Yiyi still couldn't think of a solution, so she stood up and wanted to call Yang Luoliu out for dinner.
As soon as she stood up, Yang Luoliu grabbed her wrist. Ye Yiyi didn't quite understand why he liked to touch her so much today, but thinking that she must be feeling uncomfortable after saying so much today, she didn't struggle to break free from Yang Luoliu's hand.
"Zhao Yue was my only soft spot during those years. She was my spiritual support during those extremely difficult years, but she won't be my spiritual support anymore. Apart from her, there's no other person."
'From now on, there will only be you, and only you.'
Yang Luoliu didn't dare to say the following words, because his overly serious expression made Ye Yiyi subconsciously look away.
Considering what he did to her at the beginning, it’s not surprising that Ye Yiyi acted like this.
But even if I wasn't nice to her, she would still come to me without hesitation when she was in danger.
Thinking of the things Ye Yiyi gave him, Yang Luoliu's eyes twitched. She could obviously be very strong, so what did she want from him?
In the past, Yang Luoliu was afraid that Ye Yiyi would want something from him, but now Yang Luoliu is afraid that Ye Yiyi will not want anything from him.
Yang Luoliu didn't dare to think about what she would do in that case, but she didn't have the courage to ask.
She was afraid that if she asked Ye Yiyi, she would tell her, and now she would definitely give it to her as long as she had it, and then Ye Yiyi would leave without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Yang Luoliu opened his mouth to say something when a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I advise you not to tell anyone about me. If she knew there was a violent me inside you, she would be scared and leave you."
The words that suddenly rang in his mind made Yang Luoliu swallow back the words he was about to say.
Yang Luoliu admitted that he was scared. He saw Ye Yiyi's frightened expression when he couldn't suppress it. Now Yang Luoliu didn't want to take any danger at all.
Thinking of this, Yang Luoliu suppressed the panic that had not appeared for a long time and stood up suddenly.
Ye Yiyi didn't see the change in Yang Luoliu's eyes because she looked away, but Ye Yiyi was still a little frightened when Yang Luoliu suddenly stood up.
Just when Ye Yiyi turned around to see what Yang Luoliu was going to do, she saw a set of clothes suddenly appear in her hand.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yiyi finally realized that there was such a thing. She was planning to do the same as before and pretend to be dead to hide the fact that she didn't see it.
Just as Ye Yiyi was about to turn her head away, she saw Yang Luoliu take off the jade pendant from her neck.
However, although Ye Yiyi felt strange, she did not think much about it and was just about to call Yang Luoliu to come up for dinner.
But Yang Luoliu spoke first.
"You give me a gift, and I'll give you one."
Yang Luoliu's voice was gentler than usual. Ye Yiyi was a little dazed when she heard it, and subconsciously turned to look at Yang Luoliu.
In just this one glance, Ye Yiyi saw Yang Luoliu, whom she had never seen before. There was tenderness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
Yang Luoliu had an attraction that she herself hadn't noticed. Ye Yiyi admitted that she was attracted to Yang Luoliu at that moment.
After all, this person is really beautiful, especially when she smiles, she is even more seductive.
But after a while, Ye Yiyi came back to her senses. She didn't know why Yang Luoliu showed such an expression, but Ye Yiyi didn't dare to be presumptuous. After all, the man in front of her didn't like women, so it was better not to let her misunderstand.
He was just about to say something to divert his attention from staring at Yang Luoliu's face.
Just before Ye Yiyi opened her mouth, Yang Luoliu took off the jade pendant and hung it around Ye Yiyi's neck.
This really left Ye Yiyi at a loss. She opened her eyes wide with only surprise on her face.
It was not until Yang Luoliu curled her lips and chuckled and tapped Ye Yiyi's forehead that Ye Yiyi came back to her senses.
"Are you back to your senses? Going to eat?"
I don’t know if it was Ye Yiyi’s illusion, but she always felt that Yang Luoliu’s tone towards her was slightly doting?
This thought frightened Ye Yiyi so much that she finally came to her senses.
Asked Ye Yiyi if she was moved? She didn't dare to move, really didn't dare to move.
Not to mention the things in the space, the space itself is a guarantee in this turbulent end times. Ye Yiyi's first reaction was that she couldn't have it.
"Sister, I can't have you."
After saying that, she was about to raise her hand to take off the jade pendant, but Yang Luoliu directly held Ye Yiyi's hand and interrupted Ye Yiyi's next words.
"Wearing this will restrict my movements when I fight in the future, so I'm leaving it in your care now."
Ye Yiyi felt that this was nonsense, so she was a little stunned at this moment because she didn't know what Yang Luoliu meant.
Looking at Ye Yiyi who was stunned after hearing this, Yang Luoliu touched her face with some amusement, but Ye Yiyi subconsciously avoided it.
Both of them were stunned by this action. Yang Luoliu concealed the disappointment in his eyes and spoke with a smile.
"Your blood has been incorporated into it. From now on, we can both use it. However, only the wearer can take it, or only those who come into contact with the wearer can enter together. From now on, if I need anything, I will come to you. If you want anything, just go in and get it yourself. If there's anything missing, tell me. This contains all my wealth, so you must protect it well."
Yang Luoliu was gambling. She was gambling that Ye Yiyi was so kind that she would definitely not leave her after taking all her fortune from her. Even if she wanted to leave, she would tell her. This way, she would have a chance to keep her and would not let her leave without knowing why after getting what she wanted.
As for the things in space, for Yang Luoliu it was just a matter of going out a few more times, so she didn't care.
This was also the thought that suddenly came to Yang Luoliu's mind when he saw that Ye Yiyi didn't want space. What she wanted was definitely not space.
Ye Yiyi didn't know what Yang Luoliu was thinking. She only knew that the thing around her neck was too valuable. She was just here to complete a mission and would leave after completing it, so she couldn't take these things.
"Sister, I."
However, before Ye Yiyi could finish her words, Yang Luoliu, who had quickly put on his clothes, pulled her out of the room.
"Let's go, the meal should be ready. Aren't you hungry?"
But Yang Luoliu didn't pull, and for the first time, Ye Yiyi looked at Yang Luoliu in front of her stubbornly.
The relationship between the two of them changed so quickly today, so quickly that Ye Yiyi was not used to this way of getting along and always felt extremely awkward.
I wanted to say something, but my mouth, which was usually very talkative, seemed to be glued shut and I didn't know what to say.
Especially after knowing that he couldn’t tell Yang Luoliu about the system.
"Sister, I, I can't take this, and it's my business."
Hearing this, Yang Luoliu chuckled.
"Just take it if I tell you to. It's really getting in my way. As for your business, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. If you do, I'll listen carefully."
Hearing Yang Luoliu say this, Ye Yiyi first broke free from Yang Luoliu's hand, then looked at the necklace hanging around her neck, not knowing what she was thinking.
Although Yang Luoliu still had a gentle expression, no one knew how nervous she was.
But it didn't take long for Ye Yiyi to think it through. Yang Luoliu had at least lost half of his resentment. Shouldn't it be natural for them to get along well? He had been abused for so long that he started to become a masochist, right? Besides, if Yang Luoliu was easy to get along with, it meant that the remaining half of his resentment would be easily eliminated.
Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi put on her usual smile and looked back at Yang Luoliu.
"Okay, sister, I'll keep this necklace for you for now. But I really can't tell you anything about my affairs. I hope you can forgive me."
No one knew that Yang Luoliu clenched her hands in an instant.
'For now? She will leave me.'
But Yang Luoliu was trying hard to control his emotions, and in a moment he smiled and took Ye Yiyi's hand.
"Okay, let's go eat then?"
However, where Ye Yiyi couldn't see, Yang Luoliu's eyes were deep, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something.
It’s not that Ye Yiyi is hiding something, she also has something to hide from Ye Yiyi. Yang Luoliu doesn’t care about this. What she cares about is how to turn Ye Yiyi’s temporary into permanent.
Ye Yiyi felt a little awkward looking at the two people's interlocked hands, but when she thought about how easy Yang Luoliu was to get along with, and that she was several steps closer to going home and getting her huge fortune, she became very relaxed.
I just felt that the thorny road that was originally very difficult to walk on had turned into a prosperous road with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Although they were holding hands, they were both thinking about their own things. When they went upstairs, the meal was ready.
Because of Yang Luoliu's joining, their meals are now no different from before the apocalypse.
There will be fewer sea creatures and vegetables, but the aquaculture industry at the base has also begun to improve, and you can exchange crystal cores for any vegetables you want to eat.
Perhaps Li Wanwan had told them what had happened before the two came up, so when Ye Yiyi and Yang Luoliu came up, no one talked about it anymore.
After finishing their meal, Yang Luoliu pulled Ye Yiyi back home, not wanting to stay upstairs any longer.
Ye Yiyi didn't say anything about this. She was indeed too tired today and wanted to go back early to wash up and go to bed.
"Sister, I'm going to take a shower."
Yang Luoliu, who had a cold face outside, had a hint of tenderness in his eyes the moment he closed the door. However, Ye Yiyi was thinking about something and did not notice the change in Yang Luoliu's expression.
She took some clothes and went into the bathroom. Only after closing the bathroom door did Ye Yiyi have some space of her own.
Looking at the system floating in the air for such a long time, Ye Yiyi finally asked the system.
"Now I can ask you why you don't want to give me the marrow lavage fluid."
It’s been so long since the incident happened and the system thought Ye Yiyi had forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, she still remembered it after so long.
"Host, you never ask me to get the marrow washing fluid before, why are you asking me this time?"
Ye Yiyi was completely confused after seeing the system's nonsensical answer.
"You said it yourself. They're all superpowered people. I, an ordinary person, have no chance of winning. That's why I thought of it. If you hadn't said that, to be honest, I would have almost forgotten about this thing."
The system heaved a sigh of relief when it saw that Ye Yiyi didn't really seem to want the marrow washing fluid, and then began to explain.
"Host, let me show you why humans have superpowers."
After saying that, he enlarged the virtual screen in front of him so that Ye Yiyi could see it.
Seeing this, Ye Yiyi didn't say anything and just looked at the things on the virtual screen. The system suddenly produced a teaching stick and knocked on the virtual screen.
Then I saw pictures appear on the virtual screen. A human outline appeared on the screen, followed by the bones of the virtual character, and finally the meridians.
When all the pictures were loaded, the system sound came from the side.
"This is a diagram of the human body's internal skeletal structure and meridians. The reason why developing superpowers causes a fever is because something like a zombie crystal core appears behind the head."
"But it's not a crystal core, because it grows, starting from the head and moving all the way down through the spine to the tailbone. At this point, it will take on the color of the corresponding elemental power. This is the power marrow of a first-level power user, and it's also where the power is stored."
Ye Yiyi looked at the pictures on the virtual screen that changed as the system spoke, and did not interrupt but listened carefully.
"As your superpowers increase, the branches of this 'main line' will begin to overlap and spread throughout the body, increasing the storage of superpowers and improving your physical condition. This has only benefits and no downsides. However, if all superpowers are depleted, the person will become extremely weak, even weaker than a normal person."
After hearing this, Ye Yiyi seemed to understand why.
"As long as you activate your superpowers, you're actually consuming the superpowers stored in your body every minute. For example, superpower users have superior hearing, eyesight, and strength than ordinary people. These abilities actually require superpowers to maintain, but because they're replenished immediately after consumption, others believe that only using superpowers will deplete the body's superpowers."
"But your world is completely different from this one. In this world, a third-level psychic doesn't need to do anything for a day at most. Just lying down and using their psychic powers will return them to peak condition. At the very least, they can hunt zombies and use their crystal cores. But that's not the case in your world. When you complete a mission and return with psychic powers, you'll be consuming your stored psychic powers every day. In just six months, you'll feel extremely weak. You won't die, but it'll be worse than death."
Ye Yiyi frowned when she heard the system say this, but the system didn't finish.
"There's another way. I'll use a knife to completely remove the supernatural marrow from your body. But you, the host, have seen how extensive it is. Even with the drugs and painkillers I've created, you'll still feel the pain of scraping your bones and flesh."
"If it were before, I would definitely give it to you in order to complete the mission, but now, host, you have to go back, don't touch this thing."
The system was a little nervous after saying this. After all, it was afraid that the host might really need to use the marrow washing fluid, so it did not tell the host the consequences.
But after listening to the whole thing, Ye Yiyi didn't say anything, but just relaxed her frown.
"I see, but I have one more thing to ask."
Seeing that its host did not care about itself, the system was almost moved to tears and spoke immediately.
"Host, you said that as long as I know, I will never hide anything from you."
Looking at the system in front of her showing its loyalty, Ye Yiyi felt a little amused and helpless. She felt that the system in front of her was becoming more and more like a human.
"What I want to ask is, I read in novels that the space recognizes the owner by dropping blood, right? How can it be used by two people at the same time?"
