Chapter 154 Surprising Discovery
When he saw the first scar on his shoulder, the bright red wound seemed to be branded on his heart.
Not daring to look down, he slowly straightened his collar.
He couldn't imagine how many wounds were underneath this layer of clothing.
How much blood did she shed for him?
Gu Chao turned his head away, unable to bear looking at her pale little face. He stared at her sleeve where the bloodstain had expanded a little, his throat choked, tears silently sliding down his face.
At this moment, Lu Ming was like a fragile glass doll. He didn't dare touch her body again. He just held her cold little hand tightly and whispered, "Why are you so stupid..."
After calming down for a while, he noticed that she seemed a little cold, so he quickly covered her with the quilt. Then he went to another room, found a set of old clothes that didn't fit her well, put them on, and started to renovate the house.
First, find a few quilts and mats, use some snow to clean the thick dust on the surface, and set them aside.
Then he started cleaning the room, gathering the usable paper and wood together, and then using the airflow to roll up the moldy and smelly debris and throw it out the window.
Then he pulled out some nails from various furniture, nailed bedding and cushions to all the broken windows to block the wind, moved some large wardrobes, bookcases, etc. to weigh them down, and finally closed all the doors.
After the renovation was completed, the cold wind no longer blew in, and the temperature in the whole house was finally not so low. The whistling sound was also smaller, and my ears became quieter.
He took an iron basin, tore up paper, split some wood and put them in it, then lit it with a lighter he found in the room, made a small fire and put it in the tent.
Fearing that the smoke would be too heavy, he cut a hole in the top of the tent and used air flow to drive the smoke out from time to time.
The temperature in the tent slowly rose, but he didn't feel hot. He lay beside Lu Ming and watched over her.
With his hands supporting his head, he stared at her for a long time, then gently touched her red and swollen lips and sighed softly: "Wake up, little fool."
It was not until night fell again that Lu Ming slowly woke up.
Before she opened her eyes, she reached out to touch the side, but found nothing.
Startled, she opened her eyes suddenly, sat up and shouted, "A Chao!"
Gu Chao, who was adding fuel to the fire, heard it and turned around. Seeing that she had sat up with a look of panic on her face, he almost instantly came to her side, half-knelt down, and put his arm around her shoulders, "I'm here, I'm here."
Lu Ming quickly turned her head and saw him squatting in front of her, unharmed, looking at her worriedly. She felt relieved and leaned her dizzy head on his shoulder, hugging his neck tightly with both hands.
Very good.
He's fine.
Gu Chao didn't dare to use force, and only gently stroked the back of her head and back. He also felt relieved and kissed her forehead tenderly.
The two hugged each other for a long time. Lu Ming calmed down, and then suddenly noticed blood on his sleeve around his neck. He quietly released a ball of light, healed the wound on his hand, and then let him go.
She stroked his cheek and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you okay?"
Gu Chao covered the back of her hand with his hand, his heart aching and weak. He looked into her eyes and whispered, "Yeah. How about you? Does it hurt?"
Lu Ming's eyes wandered, and he was about to play dumb when he heard him say, "I saw it all."
She was stunned and laughed dryly twice, "I'm fine, I'm healed already, look if you don't believe me." As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves. The scars on them had healed, leaving only some faint white marks.
Gu Chao sighed. If her face wasn't so pale, maybe it would be more convincing.
This time it was his turn to touch her cheek, then he held her face and kissed her lips with a look of pity.
…
Lu Ming recovered quickly after waking up. She first laughed at his ill-fitting clothes, and then took out a new set for him to change into.
After dinner, the two saw that the snowstorm had passed and decided to set off early.
Lu Ming was still a little weak, so Gu Chao carried her on his back and walked towards the base.
However, the further they walked, the higher the temperature became. From the minus 60 degrees Celsius when they set out, it was now only minus 30 degrees Celsius. The two were puzzled.
How come the temperature rises so quickly?
As they walked further, the temperature stabilized at this level. The two couldn't help but wonder, could it be related to that place?
But there was finally good news, the snow here was not that thick, and the two continued driving to the base.
"By the way, why do you think you were like that?" Lu Ming just told Gu Chao about the strange events that happened to him, and then he leaned lazily against the passenger window and asked him.
Gu Chao replied carefully while driving: "I think it may be because of the upgrade of my supernatural power."
Lu Ming was a little surprised: "You've leveled up?"
He nodded and used the airflow to roll up the snow on the road on both sides of the vehicle. The snow rose and fell like a fountain, moving forward in waves as the vehicle moved forward.
Lu Ming exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing. Level 5 is just different."
As she spoke, she turned to look at him with envy and admiration in her eyes.
Woohoo, she also wants super powers.
However, when he turned around with a smile, Lu Ming was stunned.
Then she suddenly yelled, "Stop the car!"
Gu Chao stepped on the brakes and frowned at her: "What's wrong?"
Lu Ming leaned over and held his face, looked into his eyes seriously, and asked him to use his supernatural power again.
He didn't understand what was going on and swung an air blade out of the window.
This time Lu Ming saw it clearly. She looked at the light flashing in his eyes in shock and was speechless.
"What happened?" he asked puzzledly.
Lu Ming looked him in the eyes very seriously and said, "I have some news for you. You must be mentally prepared."
Gu Chao's heart trembled, and he nodded: "It's okay, go ahead."
The girl opposite patted his shoulder heavily, and then suddenly shouted, "Boss! You've advanced two levels in a row! What level five? You're already a level six player now!"
After a moment of surprise, he felt relieved, smiled helplessly, put his arms around her waist, and pinched her delicate face: "Little rascal, I thought something was wrong."
Lu Ming dodged with a smile, then pouted and said, "You're so powerful, and you won't let me be naughty?"
She never thought that he would reach level six so early.
It can be said that only from the sixth level onwards can it be considered a truly high level, because only when it reaches this level does it mean that the zombie virus is completely integrated with human cells, and human genes are completely changed to an unimaginable height.
This kind of breakthrough is something that many people will never achieve in their entire lives. For example, after she drank the spring water last time, she felt that her physical condition had not changed much. She understood that the fifth level was the limit of this body.
To move from level five to level six, one must have talent, hard work, and luck, none of which can be missing. In addition, there are certain risks in upgrading. Many people mutate or die suddenly during the upgrading process. Therefore, in the original story, only a few people can reach level six. The male protagonist is only level seven at the end of the story, and that was the fifth year after the apocalypse.
So, as someone who reached level six in just eight months, Gu Chao is indeed a pervert!
