Chapter 503: Gu Fei's Cooperation
The woman was wrapped in a thick down jacket, and her long hair was cut short because it was easy to get dirty due to lack of water. There were cracks on her lips caused by long-term lack of water. She sluggishly put out the fire on the stove, picked up a plate of food and walked to the back of the cave.
"Brother Jing, it's time for dinner." Unlike the calmness when she called him, her voice this time carried an unconscious warmth.
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, and their current situation appeared in his mind.
The family needed someone to marry into the family, and he, who enjoyed the family benefits, took the responsibility consciously. However, this caused strong rejection from Nan Qi, who had been with him for seven years. She ran away with the child, Gu Fei. Although she was caught by him later, she hid the child.
Then the end of the world suddenly came, and Nan Qi took the opportunity to leave. Gu Sheng took a lot of effort to find her, and found that she had a childhood sweetheart by her side.
He is a fire-type mutant whose offensive power is several times stronger than his wood-type mutant. He wants to accompany her back to her hometown to find Gu Fei.
Gu Sheng was angry, but now the world was in chaos and the power of the aristocratic families before the end of the world was useless. He could not force Nan Qi, who was an earth-type mutant, not to mention that there was a fire-type mutant by his side.
I could only follow them under the pretext of looking for my son.
Nan Qi did not object to the addition of a wood-type mutant, but he was not as enthusiastic as before. Gu Sheng could hardly hold back his anger and jealousy when he saw Nan Qi's completely different attitudes towards the two of them.
This time they encountered a large group of zombies. Liu Jing was injured while saving Nan Qi. They hid here to recuperate and survive the sudden drop in temperature in winter.
Seeing Nan Qi coldly put his food aside and feed Liu Jing himself, Gu Sheng unconsciously stroked a crystal core in his hand - this was something he accidentally got from the brain of a dead psychic. After absorbing it by coincidence, he found that his ability improved very quickly, and he didn't even feel any pain during the upgrade.
Gu Sheng knew that he was a good thing and wanted to let Nan Qi use it at first, but Nan Qi's attitude made him dissatisfied and concealed it. Now...
He looked at the man who was half lying deep in the cave, and an idea gradually arose in his mind.
The winter was long and cold, and Gu Sheng seemed like a different person. He was no longer hostile to Liu Jing, and even went out hunting zombies every day despite the heavy snow. After returning, he would share the crystal cores he obtained with Liu Jing to help him improve his supernatural power level.
"There is a shortage of medical care and medicine nowadays, so people with higher superpowers can recover faster." Gu Sheng looked at Nan Qi who took the crystal core with a conflicted look on his face, "Don't think too much. After all, we are going back to save our son. With one more fighting force, our hope of returning alive is greater."
"I will ask Brother Jing to pay you back later," Nan Qi said with a firm look.
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly, "There's no need to be so polite between us."
Nan Qi did not respond, but the expression on her face told Gu Sheng that she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Gu Sheng's eyes were dark and he said nothing. He spent the whole winter hunting zombies and ambushing the psychics who were also out. He came back with injuries and brought back crystal cores for the three people to upgrade.
Liu Jing gradually recovered, and Nan Qi's attitude towards him also began to improve. Everything was developing in a good direction, even...
Liu Jing's supernatural powers have been upgraded to the first level.
As spring came and flowers bloomed, the three set out again and headed towards Changshou Village at the foot of Lao Mountain, Nanqi's hometown. They encountered countless difficulties along the way, which they all overcame with difficulty. The relationship between the three was no longer as confrontational as when they first met. Gu Sheng's supernatural powers gradually became the most powerful among the three. He even began to think that if he arrived at Changshou Village, he would live a good life with Nanqi's children and no longer think about attacking Liu Jing.
However, the reunion was not as he imagined. Gu Fei did not acknowledge him as his father, but called Liu Jing "Dad". He even tried to bring Nan Qi and Liu Jing together overtly and covertly, and ignored him as his father.
Seeing that the three of them were so close and looked more like a family, Gu Sheng's gaze gradually fixed on Liu Jing's crystal core.
However, before he could take the initiative, Liu Jing discovered that he was hunting psychics to obtain crystal core upgrades.
Looking at Liu Jing's astonished eyes, Gu Sheng said that it was not what you saw, and secretly controlled the mutant plants to stab him from behind and into his chest...
wrong!
Don't do it!
There was a consciousness in Gu Sheng's mind calling out, reminding the crazy man to stop.
However, nothing changed what had happened. With the suppression of supernatural powers of a higher level and the sneak attack of mutant plants, Liu Jing died in front of him with his eyes wide open.
Gu Sheng walked forward, closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand to cover his brow. This person, who had been nurtured by him with the crystal core all the way, successfully upgraded to become an A-level mutant, and finally became a stepping stone for his own superpowers.
The crystal core of a high-level psychic caused his superpowers to fluctuate violently, and the reactions to different energies were particularly strong. Gu Sheng forced himself to suppress it, but he didn't realize that without his knowledge, a consciousness had taken over his body and confessed the matter to Nan Qi.
When he was pretending to accompany Nan Qi to grieve over Liu Jing's death, his lover dealt him a fatal blow.
**
Lu Xi and a few people behind him were trying their best to attack with their mental power. Seeing the man with a dazed look, whose face was sometimes happy and sometimes angry, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't react to what was happening.
His supernatural powers had been overdrawn, and he was entirely dependent on the crystal core that Lu Xiao had secretly stuffed into his pocket when he left. In order to avoid affecting the morale of the people behind him, he was quietly absorbing the crystal core with one hand.
However, Eric beside him reacted very quickly and looked at Lu Weiyi. He saw that he was staring at Gu Sheng with a lifeless look not far away, and his gaze wandered between the two of them thoughtfully.
Xing Zhou noticed his expression and touched Lu Xi calmly, motioning him to look in Lu Weiyi's direction, "Is there something wrong with the captain?"
Lu Xi immediately realized something was wrong and was about to call for someone to guard Lu Weiyi.
Then Gu Sheng shouted miserably, "Nan Qi——".
Lu Weiyi on the opposite side wailed in pain and fell to the ground with his hands covering his head.
Gu Sheng, who had come back to his senses, had a machete in his hand - the most common kind of machete that cost only a dozen yuan in supermarkets before the apocalypse.
"You are really looking for death." Gu Sheng walked towards Lu Weiyi step by step, without even using his supernatural powers, as if he was going to kill him with the most primitive means.
"Dad, save me..." The cry for help rang again.
Gu Sheng paused and turned his gaze towards the direction where the sound came from.
Lu Xi turned his head and saw a teenage boy standing in front of Qi Lin, with a dagger against the boy's neck.
Ning Yuan beside him condensed into countless icicles, and the sharp cones circled around the child, ready to pierce him into a sieve at any time.
"Back off, or I'll kill him," Qi Lin said coldly.
"That's not real, it's just an illusion, just like you saw him die just now." A gentle voice sounded, and Gu Sheng adjusted the non-existent glasses on his face.
"But Xiaofei is not dead," a cowardly voice sounded.
"Xiao Fei is hiding in a very safe place, there's no way he'll be caught," the bored female voice said indifferently, stretching out her five fingers and looking around, as if she was checking her newly done nails.
"What if? What if it's Xiao Fei?"
"How can there be so many what-ifs?"
"If we die, we die. Our relatives are only a burden and will only slow down our growth."
"Otherwise... let him die, hehe..."
"Just like that woman...haha..."
…
Gu Sheng was talking to himself, and occasionally making movements. His behavior could clearly distinguish between men and women, which made people feel creepy.
While he was arguing with her, Lu Xi took the opportunity to sneak up on him and bring Lu Weiyi back from the ground.
"Enough!" A sharp male voice sounded, and other voices disappeared instantly.
Gu Sheng looked in the direction of the boy with sharp eyes, as if observing whether the person in front of him was genuine.
"Dad, it hurts so much, please save me--" As the boy struggled, his neck touched the knife in Qi Lin's hand, and a line of blood appeared immediately.
"Xiao Fei, don't move." Gu Sheng stopped him from struggling, looked at the people beside him, and said viciously, "You'd better let my son go quickly, otherwise..."
"Otherwise you can die slower," Ning Yuan finished his words. He met Gu Sheng's eyes without any fear, and even moved the ice cones surrounding the child closer to him. "You can try to see who dies faster, us or him."
"Back off!" Ning Yuan shouted loudly, "Otherwise I will kill him first..."
Gu Sheng took two steps back and asked, "You don't want your teammates anymore?"
Ning Yuan paused as he was planning a strategy and looked at Qi Lin beside him. Qi Lin shook his head. He didn't see any trace of his teammates around that group of people.
"They are held in solitary confinement. If you don't believe me, ask my son. Children certainly won't lie," said Gu Sheng.
Ning Yuan turned his gaze to Xiaofei, and Xiaofei thought about it and nodded slightly.
While Ning Yuan was thinking, Gu Sheng took a few steps forward and wanted to grab Lu Weiyi, who was curled up on the ground and had not yet recovered from the backlash of his psychic power. As soon as he raised his foot, he felt a force coming straight at his face. He raised his head to avoid it, only to find that there was no danger. Looking again, Lu Weiyi on the ground had been taken away by another speed-type psychic and returned to Ning Yuan.
Dean quickly stepped forward and continuously injected the superpower into Lu Weiyi's body. The backlash of mental power could not be treated, but it relieved a lot of pain.
Lu Weiyi relied on the determination to bring his teammates away to force his confused mind to clear up.
"Captain, are you okay?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, took out the SS-level plant crystal core that Taotao had just dug out from the space and quickly absorbed it.
"Give my son back to me, otherwise..." Gu Sheng said, and a huge amount of energy emanated from his body and spread to the surroundings. Lu Weiyi was about to use his mental power to resist.
The boy next to him seemed to be in some pain, "Dad, no, I can't stand the oppression of the superpowers."
Ning Yuan was confused by what he heard, and Lu Weiyi was also a little surprised.
