Chapter 230: Betraying the Protagonist's Spiritual Spring Secret

Five days later, Rong Zhen felt that it was about time, and she and Zhu Yan came out of the courtyard space.

The outside world was in ruins. Standing on the boulder, they saw a world in ruins after the earthquake.

But even so, there are still people living tenaciously among them, like resilient grass that cannot be burned by wildfires and will grow again in the spring breeze.

"Let's go down and save them." Rong Zhen's proposal was approved by Zhu Yan.

The two men supported each other as they walked down the boulder and struggled forward in the chaotic ruins, trying to find survivors, but to no avail. It seemed that someone had already searched here, and the traces of digging and rescuing people were very obvious.

Zhu Yan stood in front of Rong Zhen and followed the traces all the way, and finally saw a familiar figure.

"team leader!"

He called out to the man happily.

The other person turned around and saw that it was the captain of the exploration team that Zhu Yan was in, and several of his team members.

Of course, their team is no longer an exploration team, but a search team that cooperates with the rescue team to search for survivors.

Seeing the surprised expressions on Zhu Yan and the other man's faces, the captain strode over to greet them, saying, "Good boy, I knew you were blessed with good fortune and would survive."

Then he gave Zhu Yan a big hug to welcome him back to the team.

His teammates came over to greet him one by one, thankful that he was still alive, unlike the others...

Zhu Yan asked his other teammates, and seeing their silence, he immediately understood everything.

There are only these few people in a team of dozens of people.

Rongzhen walked up and patted his shoulder.

Zhu Yan smiled, which was uglier than crying. It was obvious that he was not without feelings towards the exploration team and his former teammates.

The captain consoled him, "Don't be like this. At least we're still here, and the girl you love is still here. There's still endless hope for the future."

Zhu Yan couldn't laugh anymore after hearing this.

There is no hope for the future, only frequent natural disasters, man-made disasters, and life-and-death crises.

But he couldn't say it. As long as he didn't say it, they would still have hope and the perseverance to hold on until the disaster was over and a future of true hope came.

"Sorry, there's sand in my eyes." Zhu Yan wiped his face, turned around, hugged Rong Zhen, buried his head in her neck and rubbed it.

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, but did not push him away, nor did she refute the identity of the "beloved girl". She just patted Zhu Yan's back silently to comfort him.

Zhu Yan quickly calmed down with the help of her arms, and then began to search for survivors with the captain and teammates.

Rong Zhen followed as their non-staff medical staff to provide timely first aid to the rescued survivors.

Before coming out, they sorted out two large backpacks of first aid supplies and provided them to everyone on the pretext that they had found them elsewhere.

There's not much they can do, they can only try to contribute in this way.

Even so, others were surprised.

After all, we are short of everything now. The supplies were all found from the ruins when rescuing people, and many of them are unusable.

Among them, medical supplies are the most scarce.

Rongzhen followed the search team, looking for people to rescue, and smuggled out some first aid supplies, which he would hand over to the medical team when he returned to the temporary base.

The medical and pharmaceutical departments also suffered considerable losses. Now the two departments have been combined into one team, staying in the temporary base to care for the wounded who were rescued and sent back.

Rongzhen should have stayed, but Zhu Yan didn't want to be separated from her. Besides, she had sharp eyes and a good nose, so she could easily find medicines, so he simply let her continue to follow the exploration team to rescue people and find things.

When their team dug out a few survivors from the ruins and returned, there was a new group of people in the temporary base.

The other party was not much better off than them, and was equally miserable, but their mental state was better than theirs.

Especially the woman following the leader, she was still fair-skinned, tall and beautiful, and so beautiful that she glowed, as if she could blind everyone's eyes.

Yu Ruwei...

Rong Zhen easily recognized the heroine who had traveled through the book. Then she looked at the leader who looked even more miserable than her. Who else could it be but Boss Gu who used to be surrounded by people?

With the two of them here, there naturally needs to be another person.

But Rong Zhen looked carefully and found that the reborn heroine Han Yilian was not among the people who came.

He has the aura of a protagonist, so he would not die in the earthquake at the beginning of the natural disaster. It is possible that his boss favored his mortal enemy and took advantage of the earthquake to part ways with him.

Rongzhen's guess was almost right.

Han Yilian did take the opportunity to leave Boss Gu's team. Because the predictive ability she provided was limited and could be replaced by Yu Ruwei's new "prophetic dream", Boss Gu did not care about her departure.

But he won't keep the secret for him.

For example, now he is trying to use Han Yilian's ability to predict the future to negotiate with the official base, hoping to exchange some supplies and manpower to rescue his younger brother.

Most of his men and property were buried under the rubble. It was difficult for him and the few people around him to rescue them in time, so he had to seek help from outside forces.

Exposing Han Yilian was his stepping stone.

If the amount is not enough, he can also contribute the buried supplies, or reveal Yu Ruwei.

Although he regarded the latter as his trump card, the prerequisite was that he had to have subordinates and supplies like before. Otherwise, let alone being the boss, Yu Ruwei would definitely abandon him and choose another backer.

Boss Gu has always deeply understood that human nature cannot stand the test.

Yu Ruwei didn't know that she was about to be used as a bargaining chip by Boss Gu. She was secretly happy that she had finally defeated Han Yilian and driven her away.

What kind of predictive ability is this? It’s probably because the author’s mother saw that she was being squeezed out by a girl who traveled through a book, so she deliberately gave her some leeway!

If that's the case, it's not impossible for Yu Ruwei to have another "golden finger".

Like having a prophetic dream or something like that.

Don't forget that she traveled through a book and knew the plot. Who says this is not a prophecy?

As she expected, with the double golden fingers, her status rose to be comparable to Boss Gu, and it would only take a few minutes for her to control a little Han Yilian.

The other party should be thankful that Yu Ruwei grew up under the red flag, otherwise they would never let her go like that.

However, what Boss Gu is doing now is very much to her liking. It's great that he revealed Han Yilian's secret in exchange for their benefits.

But Yu Ruwei never thought that since Boss Gu could easily reveal Han Yilian's secret after they parted ways, he would naturally be able to expose her secret when the need arises in the future. To put it bluntly, the two of them were just his tools, so who was nobler than the other?

The innocence and simplicity brought by a peaceful society made it difficult for her to imagine the sinister hearts of people in a world of natural disasters, especially the hearts of businessmen who are accustomed to putting profits first.

She was unaware of her dangerous situation and was still happily admiring her increasingly perfect appearance. Afterwards, she felt disgusted with her dirty clothes and wanted to change into clean ones, take a shower, and eat something good.

Boss Gu received many requests from his subordinates and decisively added her to the weight plate.

Isn't medical assistance urgently needed right now? Yu Ruwei's ability is completely feasible and is needed right now. I'm sure the official base will be tempted after seeing it.

Therefore, when Yu Ruwei didn't know, Boss Gu gave a bottle of the spiritual spring water she gave to the medical team at the official base for testing.

The medical team's current conditions are limited. They have only detected that the water contains many biological molecules, but it is difficult to judge what specific effects they have.

At the critical moment, a seriously injured and dying person was sent over.

With the current medical conditions, even with Rong Zhen's secret help, this person is unlikely to survive.

Boss Gu then suggested using spiritual spring water.

The medical team tried their best to give the patient a try, so they used spiritual spring water and observed the patient carefully, and found that it was indeed effective.

Lingquan water can indeed help heal wounds, but there may be some side effects, such as becoming fairer and weaker after the wound heals, men becoming effeminate, women becoming delicate, etc.

This was something Boss Gu had pointed out in advance to avoid being held accountable later. These were the conclusions he had drawn from Yu Ruwei and his subordinates.

He himself has never used it.

He wouldn't dare use such a weird thing unless it was absolutely necessary.

The medical team members were stunned when they heard this, as if they were listening to the golden finger of the protagonist in some fantasy novel.

Spiritual spring water, drink it to make your body soft and beautiful...

This setting is too familiar. Anyone who has read the corresponding novel knows it. He blurted out, "Doesn't she have a spiritual spring space?"

Boss Gu's expression froze, and some sharp-eyed people noticed it, who quickly turned around and reported it to the surviving base leaders.

Then Yu Ruwei's spiritual spring space was also exposed.

"Actually, it's only a little bit big and can't hold much. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it." Boss Gu tried to make amends for himself and sold Yu Ruwei out completely.

Due to his sincere attitude to make friends, the authorities did not sell him out. Instead, they took advantage of Yu Ruwei's negligence and pretended that he was one of their own who accidentally discovered her secret.

Then Yu Ruwei was recruited by Boss Gu to serve at the official base.

Boss Gu said goodbye to her with tears as if nothing had happened, hoping that she would not forget him when she became rich.

The naive and innocent heroine who traveled through the book thought that she had turned a disaster into a blessing and climbed to a higher branch, and she proudly ate public food with her chin held high.

Not long after that, when Rong Zhen and his team went out to search and rescue people again, they received several bottles of spiritual spring water distributed to them by the medical team.

Of course, its current name is not this, but Life Factor, which is specially used to save people in critical condition and on the verge of death. It is not recommended for others to use it.

The scientific explanation is that the number of times human cells divide is limited. The function of this thing is to promote cell division in the human body, but it does not increase the number of times.

In other words, it heals wounds at the cost of prematurely consuming the body's potential and lifespan, and saving lives is even more so.

This kind of thing is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Would you dare to use it if the person is not in critical condition?

Despite the simple conditions, the medical team analyzed the pros and cons of the spiritual spring water through several experiments and the imagination of novel lovers.

So just in case, it is better not to use it on anyone except those who are seriously injured and dying.

When everyone saw this special reminder and thought about the stunning beauty who had just arrived at the temporary base, they basically had an idea of ​​what was going on.

It has to be said that they admired the other party's courage for daring to use such a thing to attack themselves.

Rongzhen told Zhu Yan about this in private. The two looked at each other tacitly, both showing a look of relief.

Fortunately, they did not get greedy and throw away the spiritual spring.

Otherwise, they cannot guarantee that they will not be tempted by it and use it one day. Once they taste the sweetness, the consequences will be out of control until they are completely consumed and swallowed by the spiritual spring.
