Liang Yueqin's extraordinary abilities made Yang Shen value her much more.
If another emergency like the one before were to occur, Liang Yueqin's special ability would be extremely useful; she absolutely cannot be harmed.
Upon arriving at Liang Yueqin's side, Yang Shen released his spiritual power to sense Liang Yueqin's condition and found that she was in very bad shape, as if her life force was about to be exhausted and she was close to the point of dying.
"It's that serious?"
Yang Shen frowned slightly, then suddenly grabbed a woman who was groping past him and said, "Liang Yueqin is on the table. Keep an eye on her. I'm going to find something to rescue her."
"Oh, okay... okay, Brother Yang." The woman from the South City Camp nodded hurriedly.
Yang Shen quickly left the building and walked towards the corpses of the infected people he had slaughtered.
"Were any of those that were just attracted here evolved?"
Because he was too powerful, he was only focused on slaughtering and didn't pay attention to whether there were any evolved infected.
Regardless of whether they had evolved or not, they were all cut in two with a single stroke. The difference in strength was too great. In his eyes, there was probably no difference between level two and level three infected.
By projecting his mental energy, Yang Shen quickly discovered that one of the corpses was still trembling, seemingly not completely dead.
He was overjoyed and hurried over.
"puff!"
With a single swing of his level-three Tang straight sword, he cleaved the infected corpse in two, splitting its heart in two as well.
Suddenly, a crystal the size of a grain of rice, emitting a faint blue light, appeared in sight.
"This should be it, right?"
Yang Shen picked up the energy crystal core and returned to the building, going to Liang Yueqin's side.
However, after thinking about it, he went back to his room, washed the energy crystal core with water, and then returned to Liang Yueqin's side.
"How do you do it? You don't mean you just eat it, do you?" Yang Shen asked hesitantly.
The energy crystal cores were taken from the infected person's body, and they don't look like clean things at all. What if they are virus crystals?
The woman watching over Liang Yueqin saw a dark figure approaching, holding a small, glowing particle in his hand. She tentatively asked in a low voice, "Is that Brother Yang?"
"It's me."
"Is that an energy crystal core in Brother Yang's hand?" the woman asked again.
"You also know about energy crystal cores?" Yang Shen asked, somewhat surprised.
“Well, this thing is useless to ordinary people. Before, we gave the ones we got to Sister Liang and Brother Chang… Yan Chang. I saw them holding them and absorbing them. It takes about ten minutes to absorb an energy crystal core the size of the one Brother Yang is holding,” the woman explained.
"Should I absorb it by holding it in my hands?"
Yang Shen hurriedly placed the energy crystal core in Liang Yueqin's hand, but there was no reaction at all.
"Is it meant to be actively absorbed?"
Yang Shen frowned as he picked up the energy crystal core and tried to sense it, imagining himself absorbing the energy inside.
"puff……"
Suddenly, the energy crystal core turned into powder and dissipated, while a surge of energy flowed into Yang Shen's body.
"..." The woman was stunned. Was there really such a big difference between Sister Liang and Brother Yang? Their speed in absorbing energy crystal cores was incomparable!
"As expected, one must actively absorb it."
Yang Shen suddenly realized something, and at the same time, he suddenly sensed a barrier, like shackles binding his body.
The shackles were invisible and intangible, yet they could be sensed; they directly prevented the body from absorbing that external energy.
"My bottleneck?" Yang Shen was taken aback. "I've never sensed a bottleneck before, but I'm only sensing it now. Does that mean I'm still a level one ability user?"
His expression was strange. Was he, a level one ability user, a little too strong?
In his perception, the energy could not be absorbed by the body, so it slowly dissipated from his body.
However, because it was absorbed into his body, Yang Shen discovered that he could forcibly control that energy with his mental power.
Then, on a whim, he placed his hand on Liang Yueqin and channeled that energy into her body.
With the input of energy, Liang Yueqin's complexion did indeed improve.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough energy to wake Liang Yueqin up.
Yang Shen withdrew his hand, then, as if remembering something, hurriedly pulled Gao Shou, who was currently rescuing him, over: "Give me your ring."
"Oh, oh." Gao Shou didn't dare to ask why the stone ring was taken back after being given away, and hurriedly took it off.
Yang Shen took the ring, returned to Liang Yueqin's side, and put the ring on Liang Yueqin's finger.
However, it had no effect whatsoever; the stone ring, which could heal injuries, was useless in this situation of depleted life force.
Yang Shen frowned again, took off the ring, and returned it to Gao Shou: "Use this ring to heal the wounded. Also, make sure all the women who are alright and children under fifteen go to sleep and don't wander around."
"Yes, Brother Yang."
Upon hearing this, Gao Shou dared not keep it to himself any longer and hurriedly used the ring to save the person.
Yang Shen then left the building again and went outside to search for energy crystals among the infected corpses.
Unfortunately, there weren't many truly evolved infected individuals; after going around, we only found three, all only the size of a grain of rice.
"Although it's too little, it should be enough to sustain life!"
Yang Shen returned to the building and, using the same method as before, absorbed the energy himself and then transferred it into Liang Yueqin's body.
After using up all three energy cores, Liang Yueqin's breathing finally stabilized, but she still did not wake up.
"Brother Yang, Sister Liang... she'll be alright, won't she?"
The woman caring for Liang Yueqin said worriedly, "Sister Liang is a very good person. Right at the beginning of the apocalypse, her child was infected, and her husband died to protect her. After that, she persevered on her own and has brought us to live until now."
Yang Shen raised an eyebrow slightly. This woman already had a child?
