recuperation

After lying in bed for half a month, Sang Jiyue was extremely weak. After she drank some water, Sheng Xingzhou brought her some fish porridge. The porridge base was very delicious. She ate it slowly. During this time, Sheng Xingzhou squatted beside her and played with Dafu.

Sang Jiyue put the spoon back into the empty bowl and waved towards Sheng Xingzhou.

Da Fu came over with his tail wagging.

Sheng Xingzhou walked faster than Dafu and reached Sang Jiyue first. He asked her, "Do you want to eat more? I'll get you another bowl."

"Has the military left?" Sang Jiyue ignored her and continued to ask about things that concerned her.

This means that he doesn't want to eat. Sheng Xingzhou moved the small table and the empty bowl off the bed and put them aside.

"Not yet," he replied, then speculated, "but it should be soon. They've recently been stationed near the Jufu Shopping Mall and have already started the cleanup."

In fact, if Sang Jiyue is willing, Sheng Xingzhou would rather they go to the survivor base in Nanshan Prison with the military.

She was almost unconscious when she was shot. She heard him talking to Song Ling, saying that he would take her to the military for help. She heard that there was a doctor from Jingcheng in the military, and their medical environment was definitely much better than here.

But someone didn't know what had touched Sang Jiyue's nerves during their conversation. She struggled to open her eyes, tightly grasped his hand, and said, "Take out the bullet right here. I don't want to have anything to do with the military."

Song Ling strongly disapproved of Sang Jiyue's actions, but when Sheng Xingzhou met those weak and determined eyes, he held her hand and promised her with a trembling voice: "Okay, wherever you want, we can be."

Sheng Xingzhou no longer dared to recall that they had removed the bullet from her waist in such a simple environment, leaving a conspicuous bullet hole on her slender and fragile waist, which was extremely glaring on her fair skin.

But even in such a terrible environment, Sang Jiyue still managed to survive tenaciously.

…just like she said.

Sang Jiyue didn't realize that Sheng Xingzhou had thought of so many things in just a moment. She asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I'll go over there every day to check on the situation," Sheng Xingzhou said briefly. The bruises on his eyes were even more severe than Sang Jiyue's, and it looked like he hadn't slept well in a long time. He then reported to Sang Jiyue, "Thanks to the internal drawings of the mall you provided, the cleanup is going quite smoothly. However, the Qinglong Gang members are not easy to deal with. I heard that several of them have already escaped. But don't worry, I plan to go—"

"Don't go." Sang Jiyue interrupted him. She said with longing, "If nothing unexpected happens, they will seek revenge on Sang Huai. After all, the man who escaped only knows your name is Sang Huai."

Sheng Xingzhou was stunned for a moment: "But Sang Huai doesn't look like me. That person has seen me."

"He won't live to see Sang Huai." Sang Jiyue's lips curled up, with a little pride after doing something bad. "That stab was a good opportunity. He can only last until we get back to Jufu Shopping Mall. Don't expect him to live for too long."

He asked why Sang Jiyue stabbed him in the stomach instead of the neck. He pursed his lips and said, "If you had just killed him, you wouldn't have been hurt."

"Why are you talking about killing too?" Sang Jiyue said nonchalantly, but she was still immersed in the joy of successfully causing trouble for Sang Huai. She said happily, "It just so happens that you go out to get information every day. Please help me keep an eye on Sang Huai to see if he runs into them. If he gets beaten, you must tell me. I will be super happy."

Sheng Xingzhou muttered, "Maybe he died in the museum."

"It's not time for him to die."

"Ayue, what on earth are you——"

"I won't ask you, and you don't have to ask me." Sang Jiyue interrupted coldly.

Sang Jiyue currently has no interest in how Sheng Xingzhou was resurrected, so Sheng Xingzhou kept his questions to her and refused to exchange secrets.

Sheng Xingzhou was caught off guard and said "I know" with some grievance.

Sang Jiyue moved her right hand. There was still an IV in the back of her hand. Fortunately, it was in her right hand, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold the knife. But since she was awake, there was no need for an IV. She said, "Take it out for me."

Sheng Xingzhou didn't say anything. He had honed his skills over the past few days. He gently helped her remove the IV catheter without shedding a drop of blood.

However, during this period of time, she had an IV needle inserted in the back of her hand, and the skin there was turning blue.

Sang Jiyue rubbed the backs of her hands, which were a little sore, and hid her hands in the soft blanket.

Sheng Xingzhou asked her again: "Why are there so many needle holes on your arms?"

Sang Jiyue had been wearing long sleeves before, but he didn't notice.

"I'm sick." Sang Jiyue answered without any psychological burden: "I always thought that going to the hospital would make me better, and even if I didn't get better, it was a kind of psychological comfort."

She was born prematurely and was born weak. When she was very young, the doctor told her mother that she might not live past the age of 20. Because her mother was extremely angry at the time, Sang Jiyue remembered this incident even though she shouldn't have.

But the doctor was right, she did not live past the age of 20. Fortunately, it was the end of the world, and she "survived" in another way.

So Sang Jiyue likes the current world very much.

Sheng Xingzhou didn't know why Sang Jiyue could speak so nonchalantly.

He looked at her and wanted to comfort her, but Sang Jiyue didn't need it. If he really tried to comfort her, he would definitely be scolded.

"Why are you staring at me again?" Sang Jiyue waved her hands like she was shooing away a fly. "Hurry up and go. I need to rest."

Sheng Xingzhou quietly cleaned up the dishes. After a while, Song Ling came in and told Sheng Xingzhou that he wanted her to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Later, Sheng Xingzhou knocked on the door and came in, saying that he was worried about Sang Jiyue being alone.

Sang Jiyue didn't say anything and allowed him to stay.

It's late at night.

Sang Jiyue was too weak and fell asleep in a daze without even hearing Sheng Xingzhou's words.

Sheng Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her finally fall asleep. The worry that had been hanging in the air for many days finally settled down. He sat on the ground, rested his head on the edge of the bed, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day.

When Sang Jiyue opened her eyes again, there was no one beside her. Sheng Xingzhou had calculated the time she would wake up and had prepared breakfast in advance.

A few days later, Sheng Xingzhou said that the military was about to retreat and go to the next place for rescue; in addition, he actually saw Sang Huai. He seemed to have acquaintances in the military who helped hunt down the members of the Qinglong Gang. However, after his name was leaked, the Qinglong Gang members began to chase him and kill him.

The military suddenly came to Ju Fu Shopping Mall, which could only be attributed to someone leaking the news. The names that their members brought back at the risk of their lives naturally became their primary suspects.

After hearing this, Sang Jiyue was so happy that she had a smile on her face the whole day and looked very lively.

On the day the military decided to evacuate, Song Ling came to say goodbye to Sang Jiyue and Sheng Xingzhou. She planned to follow the military to the survivor base.

Sheng Xingzhou prepared abundant supplies for her, and Sang Jiyue left the gun to Song Ling.

After Song Ling left, there were only two people and a dog left at home, but this had no impact on their lives. Sang Jiyue was still recovering from her injuries, and was taken care of by Sheng Xingzhou every day with peace of mind. She looked carefree, and her pointed chin had become rounder.

The days are calm.

September came in the blink of an eye.

The weather was still hot, but Sang Jiyue's wounds had healed well. When Sheng Xingzhou was still looking through his new recipes, Qi Si, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly came online.

It was said that Sheng Xingzhou completed the previous task very well, and the female supporting actress also recognized him, so the points he obtained were directly doubled, but Sheng Xingzhou took a look at the mall and found that the props in it started at 50 points.

Although Sheng Xingzhou hopes that he can have fewer opportunities to gain points, wouldn’t Sang Jiyue have to endure less suffering this way?

Qi Si was still happily saying to Sheng Xingzhou, "Points are falling from the sky! This is a story mission, only available once, and you can get 20 points after completing it!"

"What is the story mission?"

"Host, have you forgotten Sheng Xingzhou's setting? You are Bai Yueguang's male supporting role~"

Sheng Xingzhou: "Ah..."

He frowned in disgust.

He hated Sang Huai, so naturally he wouldn't like that heroine. They were all bad guys who bullied A Yue.

"The heroine is currently trapped at 117 Weihe Street, Haiyan District. You are needed to complete the plot mission to rescue her. Of course, you don't have to die like in the plot." Qi Si said worriedly, "Please don't die. If you die, we're all doomed."

Sheng Xingzhou responded, but had no intention of going to Weihe Street in Haiyan District.

Sang Jiyue's health has not recovered yet, so he definitely cannot travel. Even if he can travel, he should follow Sang Jiyue. How can he let A Yue follow him?

Qi Si seemed to have noticed something: "Don't tell me you won't do the mission anymore."

"Is there a problem?" Although Sheng Xingzhou didn't know why the system would say "we" would be finished if he died, this also indirectly showed that there was no death penalty for him except for external forces, so of course he didn't have to complete the mission.

"This is a big problem!" Qi Si said anxiously, "The hero won't be able to find the heroine until next month. If you don't go, what will happen if my daughter dies? If she dies, we're all doomed!"

Sheng Xingzhou's voice turned cold. "You're doomed if anyone dies, but not if Ah Yue dies, right?"

Qi Si was shocked: "She's dead?"

"She still needs to recover from her injuries."

Bullshit, today Sang Jiyue started running around outside chasing the dog.

Qi Si secretly complained, but he realized Sheng Xingzhou had no intention of completing the mission. Since coercion failed, he could only continue to bribe him. Lord God, why are the hosts now more difficult than the last?

"Host, we will soon enter the era of superpowers, but not everyone can awaken superpowers. If you complete the quests, you can accumulate 30 points. Then I will lend you another 20 points, and you can buy a superpower card."

Since the original Sheng Xingzhou died before the era of super powers, no one knows whether he will awaken his super powers. However, the probability of awakening super powers is very low. But if there is a super power card, he can awaken it 100%.

Qi Si chattered on and on: "Host, aren't you moved?"

Of course Sheng Xingzhou would be tempted, but he still thought that way, so he had to follow Sang Jiyue.

After a few perfunctory words, Sheng Xingzhou began to prepare dinner.

As a result, during dinner that night, Sang Jiyue suddenly said to him, "Pack up tonight. We'll leave for Haiyan District tomorrow."

"Haiyan District?"

"Why do you have to ask everything?" She complained, then said, "I was originally going to Haiyan District, but I had to stay here to recuperate because of my injury. Now that the time is almost up, of course I have to continue on my journey."

Sheng Xingzhou caught the key words and continued to ask: "Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes." Sang Jiyue smiled and said softly, "I'm going to find someone who is very important to me."

Sheng Xingzhou could guess that she was talking about the heroine.

Just by seeing her smile like that, Sheng Xingzhou guessed that Sang Jiyue must also have a grudge against the heroine.

Sheng Xingzhou thought, he would not save the heroine. If possible, it would be okay for him to help Sang Jiyue kill the heroine.

Before Sang Jiyue gets hurt again.
