That was when she had never seen Gu Lingxiao with full energy; injuries that didn't involve bones or internal organs could heal almost instantly.
It involves a delay of a few minutes, and rapid regeneration is currently the most frequently used superpower.
"I found you some zombie crystals. You can absorb them yourself to recover faster," Tang Yun said, taking out a few zombie crystals.
"Aren't you afraid I might be a bad guy? You'll all be in danger once I recover?"
"No, when I rescued you you were wearing trousers from the Great Xia army. They were a bit torn, but I could still recognize them."
Gu Lingxiao remembered that he had changed into several outfits at the time, and the later ones were taken from the military warehouse.
Gu Lingxiao chuckled. Didn't he ever think that someone might change into military uniform?
But he didn't refute the image of the Great Xia soldiers in the minds of the citizens because that was the truth. Before the apocalypse, the military rarely appeared in front of the citizens, but each time they did, they were reliable.
The military has never lost a war against enemy nations or natural disasters; it is invincible, powerful, reliable, and approachable.
Taking the crystal, Gu Lingxiao slowly absorbed it. "What stage of evolution are you at now?"
"What?"
Tang Yun was somewhat puzzled.
Gu Lingxiao explained it to him.
"If we calculate it that way, I enhanced my abilities again after gaining them, so let's call it stage two."
"Why don't you go to the military survivor base?" This was also something that puzzled Gu Lingxiao.
It's been almost three months since the apocalypse started. The place where Gu Lingxiao hunted zombies was only about 20 kilometers away from the military survivor base. He should have run into military personnel by now, right?
If I remember correctly, the military has rescued all the survivors in the vicinity who could be saved.
But it's often just a coincidence that Tang Yun and the others really don't know, or even what caused the previous explosion.
Only then did Gu Lingxiao realize his location: Xunshan Mansion Villa District. It was indeed far from the military survivor base, separated by the Li River.
What did you give him?
I woke up to find myself more than 100 kilometers away. Even if the shockwave was strong, it couldn't have traveled that far, right?
It was even more impossible for Tang Yun and the others to run a hundred kilometers to bring him back. After asking around, they learned that they found him next to a bridge across the river, about seven or eight kilometers away.
After a moment's thought, if something as absurd as a spatial rift hadn't happened, then the only explanation was that he had been found and torn apart by other monsters.
Aside from this, Gu Lingxiao really couldn't think of any other possibility.
Ten days have passed. Damn it, I must have been dragged here by a monster, otherwise I should have woken up long ago.
Abdominal pain is a different matter altogether.
In the future, I'll have to get some kind of superpower like being invincible after falling into a coma, otherwise it's too easy to get myself killed.
Tang Yun then asked many questions about the military survivor base. Gu Lingxiao didn't give her perfunctory answers as before, but instead gave her a very serious introduction.
"There's something I need to tell you first. The previous explosion was likely a nuclear weapon launched by the military. I'm not sure what their current situation is."
In the end, Gu Lingxiao told Tang Yun about the crystals, zombies, aliens, and other information.
Tang Yun was overwhelmed by all the information and looked at Gu Lingxiao with a blank expression, "How do you know so many secrets?"
"The military is really something," Tang Yun exclaimed, swallowing hard.
"When you're better, take us to the military survivor base."
"I promise I'll make sure you get there safely. I can also help you with something," Gu Lingxiao said.
Gu Lingxiao said all that and even made promises simply because he didn't want to owe anyone anything. Whether bringing her back was useful or not, he considered it as her saving him.
She didn't take Gu Lingxiao's promise too seriously, mainly because she didn't think it was a big deal, and bringing it back was just something she did on a whim.
"Get some rest and get well soon," Tang Yun told her before leaving, followed by the eight people who had accompanied her.
Tang Yun actually had many more questions she wanted to ask, but there would be time later. First, she needed to find some food so that her classmates wouldn't starve.
"Is Xiaoyun just going to leave him alone?"
Tang Yun's best friend, Xiao Ran, said.
"You won't even take care of one of you, how am I supposed to be in two places at once?" Tang Yun said irritably.
"Well, I can give it a try."
"Huh? Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you today?"
"After all, once he's better, we can go to the safer military survivor base! You won't have to work so hard, risking your life every day to search for supplies. If I were in your situation, I would definitely go out with you to search for supplies."
Her tone was soft, and her brows were furrowed as if she was worried about Tang Yun. She was also quite petite, which made people want to protect her.
Tang Yun's tone softened, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. I'll give him some food when we get back, and you can take care of him and feed him."
"Uh-huh"
Gu Lingxiao could hear their conversation perfectly, and he sneered, "They've got the art of manipulating people's hearts and their rhetoric spot on."
But then Gu Lingxiao was a little confused. The girl named Xiao Ran was actually taking good care of him. Although she was clumsy, it was clear that she really cared.
He even shared some of her food with himself.
Gu Lingxiao quickly realized that he had only said he would take Tang Yun away, but Xiao Ran had actually figured it out.
If I were truly a member of the military, I might lead everyone away, and in the event of danger, Tang Yun and this girl would be my first considerations.
Knowing that the other party was scheming, Gu Lingxiao was not particularly disgusted. This was what made her terrifying. She knew her place: a beautiful but powerless ordinary person who could only rely on the strong.
She knew exactly how to please others, and she did it perfectly, making the powerful people she relied on happy without paying too high a price herself.
She did nothing wrong; she just wanted to live.
After a few days, Gu Lingxiao was already free to move around, but he still pretended to be very weak. He didn't eat the food given to him, but only ate Xiao Ran's share of food.
It wasn't until one day when she was so hungry she could barely stand that Gu Lingxiao said, "You knew from the beginning that I wasn't part of the military?"
Xiao Ran looked at Gu Lingxiao blankly. "What?"
"Alright, stop pretending. After eating your food for the past few days, I'll send you to the military survivor base. At the very least, I can send you to our survivor base, where there's order and survival won't be too difficult."
Xiao Ran knew it was time to be honest. "At first, I really didn't know. After spending a day or two with you, I found out you were actually better. At that point, I was just suspicious, but the fact that you were only eating my food ration confirmed it for me. The military wouldn't do that."
Gu Lingxiao did not refute, because it is difficult for a healthy person to completely pretend to be injured and weak.
But I admire her quite a bit. She played along with me, and even when I refused to eat the food rations that were supposed to be returned, she didn't secretly eat them.
