Chapter 26

Gu Yuan, who was happily about to pick up his sister, was stopped by Xiang Haoyu and others who suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Is there anything wrong?" If there is nothing wrong, then get out of the way quickly. If there is something wrong, then get out of the way quickly too.

Xiang Haoyu endured the pain and spoke, "Just now, Ah Yun said she suddenly remembered something about Xiao Qi. She found Xiao Qi's safety locket rope hanging on a branch on the cliff on one side of the valley. There are also some holes of different sizes on the cliff. I think Xiao Qi must have hidden in the cave. She must be fine. Why don't you come with me to find her?"

Liu Yun, who didn't see any safety rope, nodded in agreement. "Brother Hao is right. Xiaoqi is definitely fine. That cliff is quite steep, and it would be difficult for zombies and mutant animals to climb up. But Xiaoqi has probably lost a lot of blood and is probably unconscious in a cave right now."

Gu Yuan, who received the message from Wan Shiwen and the base guards: "..."

The stories they made up were getting more and more outrageous, and they even cursed Xiaoqi. Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and said in his heart: Even if all of them were eaten by zombies, Xiaoqi would be fine. After all, his sister is so powerful, and these people combined would definitely not be able to beat Xiaoqi.

Just when Gu Yuan wanted to expose the lies of Xiang Haoyu and others so that he could see his sister as soon as possible, he looked up and saw a familiar figure. At the same time, a familiar voice came into his mind: "Brother, promise him. I also want to see which cave I fainted in."

Hearing the emphasized second half of the sentence, a hint of smile appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes. Sure enough, his sister was still the same as before.

Under the expectant yet nervous gazes of Liu Yun and the others, Gu Yuan nodded, "Okay, let's get going now."

Liu Yun, sensing something, looked in the direction Gu Yuan was looking, but saw nothing. She thought she was just overthinking it.

The guard following Gu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. Was the deputy base commander's sister in danger somewhere? Then could the person he just saw be just a lookalike?

But if that was the case, why did the deputy base commander rush out again after hearing the news?

The guard was confused and wanted to ask, but he received Gu Yuan's gaze and swallowed the words back. He wisely didn't ask any more questions.

Noticing the way Liu Yun and the others were looking at the guards, Gu Yuan said to the man in blue who was following him, "I'll go with them to find Xiao Qi, and you and Lao Chen will go recruit that powerful psychic."

"Okay." The man in blue nodded in understanding. "I'll definitely recruit that level three esper to our team, so that guy Akai won't keep complaining to me about their team's lack of ranged weapons."

After saying that, the man in blue led the guards to the entrance of the base.

It turned out that they were trying to recruit third-level psychics. Liu Yun withdrew her gaze and stopped thinking about it.

If the guard at the city gate saw Gu Qi going to Gu Yuan to report the news, how could Gu Yuan agree to go with them?

The group walked towards the exit of the base. No one noticed that Gu Qi, who had just entered the base, disappeared after turning a corner in an alley. No one noticed that a breeze fell on the roof of the car that Gu Yuan was riding in.

"It's incurable?" Xiang Haoyu didn't want to believe this answer. "How could it be incurable? Are you..."

He wanted to question, but when he thought about how he still had to rely on the other person to heal his suddenly blind eyes, he suppressed his temper and slowed down his tone, "Why don't you take a closer look? How could it be unhealable? You are the most powerful healing psychic in the base!"

"I'm not, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. I've never admitted that I'm the most powerful healing psychic in the base."

Dai Yishen, the healing psychic, rolled his eyes silently and added, "It can't be cured. Even using all my abilities has no effect. It's obvious that your sudden loss of sight can't be cured by healing abilities. At least my abilities are useless to you."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Haoyu, then remembered that Haoyu couldn't see him now, so he turned to Liu Yun, spread out his palm and waited for the other party to settle the medical expenses.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yun didn't respond for a long time. I don't know if she didn't understand what he meant, or if she understood it but didn't want to give it to him.

Not only Liu Yun, but everyone else in Xiang Haoyu's team also turned a blind eye and turned their eyes away, refusing to look at him.

"How could this happen..." Xiang Haoyu still couldn't believe it. Although Dai Yishen had just challenged him, it was well known that Dai Yishen, the healing psychic in Gu Yuan's team, was the most powerful and highest-level healing psychic in the entire base.

If he says it can't be cured, then who else can cure his sudden blindness? He can't be blind forever, right?

Thinking of this, Xiang Haoyu couldn't help but feel panicked.

Since he couldn't see and his mind was full of thoughts about who else he could find to treat him, Xiang Haoyu naturally didn't notice that the atmosphere around him had become a little stiff.

That’s right! Gu Qi.

Xiang Haoyu suddenly remembered that his sudden blindness was related to Gu Qi. Since Gu Qi had made him blind by some unknown means, could she also have a way to make him see again?

Xiang Haoyu started to plan in his mind, thinking that he might as well take this opportunity to get rid of Gu Yuan and then take the opportunity to get that thing.

It would be best to create the illusion that he had tried his best to save Gu Yuan, even if he got hurt a little. That way, he would be the only close person to Gu Qi in the world. Then he could put the blame on Zhang Lie for everything that had happened before, and maybe even get rid of Zhang Lie at the same time...

Just as Xiang Haoyu was immersed in the beautiful scene he had imagined, a pair of unpleasant words came into his ears.

"We agreed beforehand that even if the cure isn't possible, we'll still pay you." Dai Yishen showed a shocked expression and asked in an exaggerated tone, "Why? Are you guys going to default on your debt?"

Finally, he added, "Don't accuse me of blackmailing you. I told you when I first tried it and it didn't work. It was you who kept asking me to continue using my supernatural powers."

After these words were spoken, neither Xiang Haoyu, who could see, nor Liu Yun, who could see, could do anything.

No matter how much he pretended to be deaf and dumb, he couldn't fool the other party. He could only obediently take out a sufficient number of crystal cores and hand them over to Dai Yishen.

Xiang Haoyu and Liu Yun thought in unison: At least we can't offend the people around Gu Yuan for now, otherwise it would be bad if we accidentally alert the enemy.

After receiving his reward, Dai Yishen smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Welcome to visit us next time!"

As if he didn't notice the stiff expressions of Xiang Haoyu and the others, he turned to his teammates and said, "Let's get on the team's car to avoid squeezing Captain Xiang and the others."

Listening to the other party's very far-fetched excuse, Xiang Haoyu couldn't help but put on a gentle fake smile, "Brother Yuan's car is indeed bigger, and it's more comfortable to sit in."

After Dai Yishen was taken away by his teammates using their supernatural powers, Xiang Haoyu clenched his fist and slammed it hard to the side, venting his anger and dissatisfaction.

Looking at the car door that was bulging outwards after being smashed by him, Liu Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was a little speechless, but she still reminded him in her usual tone: "Brother Hao, you'd better be careful now so as not to be noticed."

Seeing Xiang Haoyu trying to calm down, Liu Yun turned to look at Zhang Lie who was driving silently and said, "Use your supernatural power to repair the car door."

Zhang Lie didn't look back and didn't move.

Liu Yun glanced at Xiang Haoyu, who seemed to be lost in thought, and said softly, "Zhang Lie, could you please use your powers to repair the car door? We're still a team now, aren't we?"

Meeting Liu Yun's suggestive gaze, Zhang Lie raised his hand and used his supernatural power to repair the car door, but he still didn't speak. On the one hand, his throat still felt uncomfortable, and on the other hand, he was worried that his tone would reveal something.

The girl sitting quietly beside them saw everything the two did. She opened her mouth to say something, but shut it again after meeting Zhang Lie's threatening and sinister gaze.

Xiang Haoyu, feeling depressed, was immersed in his own world and did not notice that the atmosphere had become a little strange again.

In other words, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care. Some things after the end of the world made Xiang Haoyu extremely proud, and he subconsciously believed that Liu Yun would not leave him, and Zhang Lie was just a chess piece in his hand.

More than an hour later, the two cars stopped at the entrance of a valley, one in front of the other.
