At this moment, He Jiajia said, "I have already performed surgery on you and removed the parts that were infected by the zombie virus."

"Luckily, you have an extremely strong recovery ability. The other side grew back as soon as it was cut off. If it were a normal person, even if my superpower could help speed up the healing by removing so many parts at once, they definitely wouldn't survive."

While I'm very grateful that you saved me, there's really no need to describe the process in such detail!

Zhang Yun said to her, "Thank you for saving me."

"Is a simple thank you all it takes?" He Jiajia asked, dissatisfied.

"ah?"

Zhang Yun was taken aback.

Seeing his somewhat bewildered expression, He Jiajia chuckled.

"I was just kidding you, but once you're better, there's a favor you have to do for me."

Although she couldn't quite figure out He Jiajia's intentions, she was still her savior no matter what.

Zhang Yun nodded seriously, "As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small thing for you."

Having received his promise, He Jiajia said, "Then I won't disturb your rest any longer, I'll be going now."

"Sister Jiajia, let me see you off." Yang Yiyi stood up sensibly.

"Little girl, why are you being so polite with me? Take good care of your big...brother. I'm leaving now."

When He Jiajia mentioned her older brother, she paused strangely for a moment, then smiled and winked at Yang Yiyi, which puzzled Zhang Yun.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Yun, Yang Yiyi, with her back to him, returned the same look and smile to He Jiajia. The two seemed to have exchanged some tacit understanding and reached some kind of consensus.

After He Jiajia left, Yiyi fed Zhang Yun some white porridge that he had taken out of his spatial storage.

After finishing their meal, Yang Yiyi told him about Yang Shize's situation.

Yang Shize is already at the fourth level.

Previously, he and his family had been living and eating for free at He Jiajia's base. It would be unreasonable for him not to contribute after such a long time.

Therefore, after confirming that Zhang Yun was out of danger, Yang Shize joined the base's field team to search for survivors and supplies.

Their planned trip is quite far, and they won't be back for two days.

Seeing that Zhang Yun was tired after talking to her for only a short while, Yang Yiyi thoughtfully covered him with a blanket and cleaned up his dishes after he finished eating.

Yang Yiyi said, "Big brother, I'll go wash the dishes and do the laundry. You can rest first. I'm right next door. Just call me if you need anything."

The room they stayed in was a double room allocated to Yang Shize by the base, while Yang Yiyi stayed in a single room next door.

But Yang Shize went out this morning, leaving Zhang Yun, the only unconscious patient in the room, so she came over to take care of him more easily.

Zhang Yun remained unconscious, so it wouldn't have been a problem for them to share a room.

It's the apocalypse now. Let alone strangers sharing a room, you'd be lucky to even have a place to squat that can shelter you from the wind and rain.

Even in He Jiajia's small base, ordinary people can only squeeze several people into one room, and there is no toilet at all.

The hotel where Zhang Yun stayed was already the best available room.

If Yang Shize and Yiyi weren't either evolved beings or superhumans, they wouldn't have been allocated the best houses in this base.

After Yang Yiyi left, Zhang Yun immediately called the system in his mind.

Zhang Yun knew very well that he had never awakened any spatial abilities. In that moment of crisis, he didn't even think; all his actions were purely instinctive.

But even if saving the protagonist has become an instinct, he shouldn't have the ability to teleport!

The final result was that he not only blocked it, but also used a bizarre teleportation technique to block it!

In conclusion, there's only one explanation: this damn system is up to its old tricks again!

After checking the character panel, I was somewhat surprised to find that the Immunity Card was still equipped. It seems that I survived not because the Immunity Card was effective, but because of my tenacious vitality.

What an amazing, tenacious vitality!

"Congratulations, host, you have awakened a spatial ability and gained the skill Instant Teleportation. The teleportation distance is five meters and the storage space is ten cubic meters. Note: This ability is only available in this world."

"Stop spouting nonsense! I suddenly awakened my spatial abilities and even helped Yang Shize block that damned claw. Was that your doing?"

"Yes." The system actually admitted it directly!

"Damn it, do you have any shame? How could you play me like this?"

If his physical condition allowed, Zhang Yun would definitely jump out of bed in anger.

"Every time the protagonist narrowly escapes death, it consumes his luck. When his luck is completely exhausted, the protagonist will die. Generally, when the protagonist is saved, Heaven will default to the optimal solution that consumes the least amount of luck."

"For example, there are 100 ways to save the protagonist from this death. If we directly use heavenly lightning to kill the second-tier zombie and save the protagonist, it will consume all the luck he has accumulated."

"However, if you, the host, activate your spatial ability and teleport there to help the protagonist block a fatal blow, the amount of luck consumed is negligible compared to the former, so Heaven will default to executing the optimal solution."

"Of course, the laws of nature in this world have been disrupted, so the reaction is not as fast as before. I saw that the situation was critical, so I helped to speed it up."

"So, if you're too weak, don't keep trying to get close to the protagonist. Otherwise, you'll end up as cannon fodder instead of being able to cling to his coattails, wasting your invincibility card. You're trash!"

Zhang Yun: I ***!! (Beautiful language)

Zhang Yun was so angry that the curses in his head turned into a bunch of gibberish. Damn this damn system! It threw him out as cannon fodder and still had the nerve to mock his poor skills!

I desperately need software to uninstall system files!

Viruses are fine too!!

He was already very weak, and the system's anger made him see stars and almost pass out. He quickly lay down to recover, and then fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, the room was already dimly lit.

Zhang Yun didn't know what time it was, but the pain in her back had disappeared.

The last time I woke up, my chest and back were wrapped in thick gauze, but now they're gone.

Zhang Yun touched the wound on his back; it had all scabbed over.

There was no one in the room. Yiyi must have seen that he was almost recovered and went to sleep in the next room.

Zhang Yun sat up in bed, still somewhat incredulous.

When Mingming first woke up, he was so weak that he had trouble thinking, but after just one nap he was able to get out of bed?

A Tier 1 Regeneration Warrior, can its recovery ability really be this fast?

"System, have I upgraded?"

System: "Yes, host, you are now a second-tier recovery warrior and a first-tier space-type ability user."

Despite being injured, he leveled up directly and awakened a precious spatial ability, but Zhang Yun was not happy at all.

Whoever wants to encounter such good fortune can have it; he definitely doesn't want to encounter it again!

After getting out of bed, Zhang Yun went into the bathroom, facing away from the mirror at the sink.

Seeing five obvious surgical scars and stitches on her back in the mirror, she realized that they had all scabbed over.

The recovery ability of a second-tier character is indeed exceptionally strong!

At this rate, he should be completely recovered by tonight.

Zhang Yun touched his skin; it was smooth, clean, and odorless. Someone must have been cleaning his body while he was unconscious.

He couldn't help but recall that when he was unconscious before, there were a few times when he regained some consciousness and vaguely felt that someone was feeding him mouth-to-mouth and cleaning his body.

Yi Yi would never agree to it, and even if she wanted to, Yang Shize would not agree.

But if we exclude Yiyi, then what's left is...

No, really?

Zhang Yun suddenly blushed.

He was in a coma for a full three months!

For the past three months, Yang Shize must have been feeding him water, feeding him, and cleaning his body the whole time!

Good heavens!

If it weren't for the fact that the body resurrected by the immunity card couldn't be altered in its model, Zhang Yun would have committed suicide on the spot.

Taishe is dead!

Zhang Yun spent a long time feeling shy in the bathroom before finally calming down, washing up, and coming out.

He opened the window of the room and saw that the sky outside was beginning to lighten; it must be around five in the morning.

Zhang Yun took a breath of the air outside the window, which smelled of decay and rust, and stretched.

The sound of a door opening came from behind Zhang Yun. He turned around and saw Yi Yi.

"Big brother, you're awake!"

Yang Yiyi smiled when she saw him.

Zhang Yun felt inexplicably awkward when he saw Yang Yiyi.

He touched his nose and said, "Yes, thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Yiyi."

"It's all I should do," Yang Yiyi said with a smile.

"Big brother, you've slept for a whole day and night, you must be hungry. I made some food and brought it with me." Yiyi placed the insulated box she was carrying on the table.

"Yiyi, you forgot, the one thing your big brother has in abundance is food."

Seeing Yiyi's calm and composed expression, Zhang Yun also let go of his embarrassment and smiled lightly.

The meals and snacks that Yiyi made before are still stored in his space.

Later, he fell into a coma, and there was never a chance to take it out to eat.

"Ah, right! For the past three months, it's been my brother who's been finding food. I almost forgot that you have so much food stored in your space, big brother," Yang Yiyi said with a smile.

Looking at her smile, Zhang Yun felt inexplicably sad.

Yang Shize led Yiyi into the city to find a hospital, and also had to solve the problem of food and lodging for the three of them. How difficult it must have been for him.

Even if he is the protagonist and has the protection of good fortune, given the stingy nature of the Heavenly Dao in this world, it is estimated that only at the last moment will it arrange a way of survival that consumes the least amount of good fortune for him.

If Yang Shize were to appear in front of him now, Zhang Yun would definitely give him a grateful hug!

After the two finished breakfast, Yang Yiyi told him to continue recuperating in the room while she took the insulated lunchbox and went out.

The base doesn't tolerate idlers. She's currently a second-tier water-based ability user and needs to go to the water tank every day to collect clean water for the base's use.

The existing water source has been slightly polluted. Although it is still drinkable after boiling, it will have a strange taste and is not as pure and sweet as the water that a water-type ability user can condense directly from the air.

The water that Yang Yiyi conjures is a luxury item, reserved for those with strong abilities who contribute to the base.

Zhang Yun knew that in a few years, water pollution would become more serious, and water treated by physical methods would only be used for production and daily life, and could no longer be drunk.

If you continue to drink unclean water for a long period of time, you will also mutate into a zombie.

After Yang Yiyi left, Zhang Yun also got up and went out.

He'd been lying in bed for so long, how could he possibly stay still now?

It was already daylight outside, and the people in the base were leaving their residences and getting busy.

Zhang Yun walked around the base and confirmed that it was indeed the small base that He Jiajia had initially established in an abandoned medical laboratory complex.

This laboratory building has only three floors. Because the development focus of Mingzhu City shifted five years ago, this area became a marginal area and was abandoned several years ago.

Later, a large chicken farm was built nearby. With too many employees, a small town gradually emerged, consisting of residential houses and staff dormitories.

When the apocalypse arrived, most of the chicken farm's employees turned into zombies. The survivors were either bitten to death by zombies or escaped.

When He Jiajia led a group of survivors to the location, there were no survivors left.

He Jiajia and her team used the experimental building as the center to slowly clear out the zombies, take in passing survivors, eliminate the zombies in the town, and strengthen the outer defenses before establishing this small base.

The addition of Yang Shize made them even more formidable.

The base was attacked by zombie hordes several times afterward, and it was Yang Shize who led everyone to resist, thus turning the tide and ensuring the base's safety.

He Jiajia is a light-type ability user who cannot fight and has no ability to command battles. In addition, the two of them have developed feelings for each other through repeated close calls and have become each other's most trusted people.

So He Jiajia directly handed over her position as leader to Yang Shize and focused on her research work.

Although the male and female leads' meeting time has been moved up by a month, it shouldn't have much of an impact.

Originally, it was supposed to be that Yang Shize was seriously injured and left the school base, and was rescued by the female lead while searching for medicine, but it turned into him being rescued by the female lead.

Of course, the ambiguous period of time that Yang Shize spent with the female lead while recovering from his injury was also gone.

However, a man as outstanding as Yang Shize would have fallen for He Jiajia sooner or later, even without that past relationship!

Zhang Yun felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

When I first read the original novel, I had no emotional reaction to Yang Shize and the female lead being together. When I saw He Jiajia die, I was filled with grief and indignation. When I saw Yang Shize no longer cared about the overall situation and instead sought revenge for He Jiajia with overwhelming rage, I even agreed with him.

But now, looking back at every chapter in the original novel where Yang Shize and the female lead went through life and death together, Zhang Yun felt like she couldn't breathe.

Yang Shize is handsome, loyal, brave, and resourceful; he is the perfect man.

He Jiajia is beautiful, gentle, understanding, intelligent, and kind; she is the perfect woman.

They are such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!

They are...

What a perfect couple they are...

Zhang Yun seemed to sense something and raised her hand to touch the corner of her eye.

Zhang Yun felt a pain as if a part of her heart had been ripped out; she experienced unprecedented suffering.

What are you expecting?

Everything he did for you was because he considered you a brother who would live and die with him!

One should be content and learn to face reality with clarity.

It would be great to be his brother for life, sharing life and death.

That's good enough.

Zhang Yun peered through the gaps in the iron-hooped protective netting at the desolate rice paddies outside the town, overrun by weeds, forcing himself to put on his usual warm, neighborly older brother smile.

But he didn't know that this smile was as ugly as a cry.

Suddenly, a hideous and disgusting zombie face slammed into the protective netting in front of him, startling Zhang Yun.

It turned out that he had been walking for almost a day without realizing it.

As the sun set, the nearby zombies emerged from the dark corners again, attempting to breach the base's protective fence.
