After an unknown amount of time, Su Ziyu finally noticed that Jiang Wu's movements had lessened considerably, but he continued to twitch incessantly.
Su Ziyu tried to get closer to Jiang Wu, her right hand tightly gripping Jiang Wu's left hand, their fingers interlaced.
After a while, Su Ziyu seemed to hear Jiang Wu speaking in a low voice.
She quickly put her ear to Jiang Wu's mouth.
"Water, water..."
Jiang Wu murmured unconsciously.
Su Ziyu heard clearly, but where is the water?
She craned her neck to look around and then noticed that the walls of the living room were piled high with various kinds of rice, supplies, and bottled water.
Did Brother Wu bring all of these back?!
These past few days, Brother Wu has quietly accomplished so much, while I can only lie in bed...
Su Ziyu gritted her teeth and crawled towards the mineral water storage point a few meters away.
The distance was only a dozen meters, but Su Ziyu had to exert all her strength to go back and forth.
They slowly pushed several bottles of mineral water toward Jiang Wu.
Su Ziyu used her teeth to open the cap of a mineral water bottle and slowly brought the bottle opening close to Jiang Wu's lips.
As the first sip of mineral water flowed into Jiang Wu's lips, and Su Ziyu watched his Adam's apple bob incessantly, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Does this mean that Brother Wu's health has improved a lot?
In his dazed state, Jiang Wu felt a steady stream of cool water flowing through all parts of his body, slowly cooling his burning body.
This feeling, compared to the pain just now, was simply heavenly enjoyment.
Driven by instinct, Jiang Wu held the mineral water bottle in both hands and started drinking it by himself.
One bottle, two bottles, three bottles...
Su Ziyu handed the bottled water to Jiang Wu, who seemed to have regained consciousness.
It wasn't until he finished the fifth bottle that Su Ziyu noticed that Brother Wu had actually opened his eyes.
Moreover, he stopped convulsing and trembling, and seemed to have returned to normal.
"Brother?" Su Ziyu called out in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Wu was still a little dazed.
Just as I sat up, I heard Su Ziyu calling out.
Only then did he realize that Su Ziyu was lying next to him, looking quite disheveled.
Also, how did she get out of bed?
"Little Fish, what are you doing here?" Jiang Wu asked, puzzled.
Su Ziyu reached out her right hand and grasped Jiang Wu's left hand, choking back tears as she asked, "Brother, are you alright?"
Jiang Wu sat up, patted Su Ziyu's head with his right hand, and said with a smile, "It's alright."
His eyes unconsciously drifted to the ground behind Su Ziyu.
Did she climb up there on her own?
That's blood?
Only then did Jiang Wu notice some bloodstains on the ground.
Jiang Wu pulled Su Ziyu's right hand over; her fingernails were already somewhat bloody and mangled.
Jiang Wu finally understood how Su Ziyu had gotten through it.
She immediately felt a pang of tenderness and picked Su Ziyu up in a princess carry.
He placed her on the bed in the master bedroom and took out a first-aid kit from the drawer next to her to carefully treat her wounds.
Neither of them were talkative, and they both remained silent about what had just happened.
Years of spending time together have given the two a great deal of understanding.
They are not relatives, but they are closer than relatives.
Let Su Ziyu rest well, and Jiang Wu went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast, as he was feeling very hungry.
All the loach meat was reserved for Su Ziyu, while Jiang Wu cooked a large pot of rice and several pounds of cured meat.
While cooking, it was seven o'clock, and the system's check-in task arrived on time.
[Task issued: There's a strategy to lying down, and you need to be proactive in clocking in. Please arrive at the office area before 9:00 AM to clock in.]
[Task Reward: Successfully check in before 9 AM to receive 100 "lying down" points.]
It was 8:10 a.m. when I finished breakfast with Su Ziyu.
There are only 50 minutes left until the check-in deadline.
However, Jiang Wu was not flustered because of his increased strength.
After regaining consciousness, he felt that something was wrong with his body.
My vision, smell, hearing, and everything else improved; it was a wonderful feeling.
After breakfast, Jiang Wu felt an explosive power within his body, and his physical condition was better than ever before.
After locking the master bedroom door so that Su Ziyu could rest properly, Jiang Wu went to the living room where rice was piled up.
A 50-pound bag of rice used to weigh about 150 pounds with one hand, but now...?
Jiang Wu casually picked up three bags of rice, each weighing 50 jin (25 catties), with remarkable ease.
My strength has really increased a lot.
Jiang Wu then looked at the bags of rice weighing 100 jin each next to him.
I walked over and picked up all three bags, totaling 300 jin (150 catties).
Jiang Wu then realized he was struggling, but this was not his limit.
Sure enough, my physical strength has at least doubled!
Moreover, the gene-enhancing matrix comprehensively improves physical fitness, including reaction time and agility!
After donning arm protectors, a rugby helmet, and other equipment such as steel spears, Jiang Wu arrived at the back door.
Big Black was licking a zombie head that it had gotten from who-knows-where.
Upon seeing Jiang Wu, it raised its head and began wagging its tail wildly.
Jiang Wu looked at Big Black; it seemed to have grown a little bigger than yesterday.
However, it's not as exaggerated as it was a couple of days ago, which means its development has slowed down.
This discovery relieved Jiang Wu.
If these creatures like the giant blackfish continue to grow at a crazy pace every day, will humans still have a chance to survive after a year?
Godzillas will be everywhere then.
Humans and zombies can say goodbye to Earth now.
I glanced at my phone; it was already 8:30 in the morning.
Jiang Wu held a pot lid shield in his left hand, a steel spear in his right, and two machetes on his back.
