Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The pain of being crushed all over, Si...
Si Qi struggled to open her eyes and swallow the blood in her mouth, feeling the pain of being crushed all over. She felt that her body was imprisoned by something, unable to move. She took a few short breaths, and when her consciousness returned, she saw clearly what was lying on her.
It was Si Ruxu. The woman was pale, her breath was weak, and her body was completely devoid of any supernatural energy. She looked like an ordinary person with no ability to survive.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had a nightmare. Her pale fingers tightly grasped Si Qi's clothes, like a life-saving straw. Si Qi's eyes darkened. Even if she killed Si Ruxu now, Si Ruxu would not be able to resist.
Given her relationship with Si Ruxu, she didn't think she would be so completely defenseless at this moment. So, after she passed out, had they encountered any more danger? Where was this?
Si Qi adjusted Si Ruxu's position, put the woman's head on his knees, and sat up. The surroundings were filled with the fresh scent of plants. At a glance, it looked like a house, very simple, without furniture, no lights, but still quite bright.
After she felt there was no danger around her, she closed her eyes and checked her condition. The wounds on her abdomen and chest had mostly healed, leaving only tender pink flesh. Her body's supernatural energy had reached an unprecedented level, and her consciousness followed the flow of supernatural energy, leading her to a closed space.
Inside the space was a familiar double bed, a bit like the one Si Ruxu had slept on in the cave. There was also a lot of miscellaneous food, some boxes of unknown origin, and the most abundant thing was the supernatural cores, almost piled up like a small mountain.
During the two years since the apocalypse, Si Qi seldom saw Si Ruxu in the base. Si Ruxu spent most of her time outside the base, either looking for supplies or collecting samples, surrounding and killing zombies. Every step was a life-or-death struggle. These supernatural core images were traces of Si Ruxu's life in the past two years.
Si Qi lowered her eyes and retracted her superpower. Even a fool could tell that it was Si Ruxu's superpower space. She didn't know how her superpower could directly enter. Perhaps the superpowers in space were connected to each other, or perhaps it was a self-protection measure of that strange second superpower.
But she didn't want to take Si Ruxu's things. No one had to rely on anyone else to survive. She now had the ability to protect herself. The self-esteem that had once been wiped out was rekindled into a small flame, which caught Si Qi's eyes and burned brighter and brighter.
Si Qi slowly injected her superpowers into Si Ruxu's body. She was not a person with healing superpowers, so she could only supplement some superpowers for Si Ruxu and awaken the healing superpowers in her body to heal herself.
Judging from the time they have been together, Si Ruxu seems to have no way to actively absorb the superpower core to restore her superpowers.
After an unknown amount of time, Si Ruxu opened her eyes. Si Qi lowered his head, not missing the flash of wariness and alertness in her eyes.
She curled her lips, not caring at all, "Awake?"
Si Ruxu nodded, still listless. She lazily wrapped her arms around Si Qi's waist and rubbed him. "It's safe here. It's a shelter provided by mutant plants. I made a deal with it in exchange for that mutant wolf."
Si Qi nodded. She guessed one thing: plants were lacking in nutrients after the extreme cold. The mutant wolf solved his urgent problem and also helped them.
It was worth the kill.
Something touched Si Qi's back carefully. She tilted her head and saw a very small vine with a fruit placed in her hand, then slowly retracted.
This plant is quite polite.
Si Qi picked up the limp person and placed him upright in his arms. "How did you get hurt?"
Her voice was very low, she hadn't been out of water for a long time, so her throat was a little hoarse. But if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of gentleness, like a spring of spring water.
"I lost a little bit of my supernatural power."
She spoke concisely and Si Qi got a glimpse of her usual style.
"Ms. Si Ruxu, you are now injured and our ally. You need to tell me how you got injured, why you can't actively recover your abilities, and how I can help you, okay?"
Si Qi's voice was gentle and calm, not like that of an ordinary person who had just awakened his special powers.
Si Ruxu didn't think Si Qi could help her; she preferred to return to base. Just as she was about to say no, she looked up and met a pair of blood-red eyes. It was clearly a strange totem, but the worry and concern in Si Qi's expression still overflowed like a jar full of water.
Her throat seemed to be blocked, and she finally uttered a few dry notes in compromise, "It's the exhaustion of superpowers."
Energy depletion means that the energy in the body no longer has the energy to absorb anything. It's similar to a starving person not having the energy to eat.
It was very dangerous, and Si Ruxu was still using her supernatural powers many times outside. Si Qi pursed her lips. She finally understood that Si Ruxu did not take her life seriously, nor did she care much about her own life.
Si Qi stuffed the fruit that the mutant plant had just given her into Si Ruxu's mouth, then pressed her abdomen with his hand and injected superpowers into her superpower core. At the same time, another strand of superpower in her body uncontrollably entered Si Ruxu's body, stealing energy from her space.
Si Qi was silent for a moment and tried to retract that strand of supernatural power, but it didn't move at all.
"It's okay, I have plenty of that." Si Ruxu didn't care that Si Qi could enter her space, nor did she care about the pile of superpower cores.
She leaned comfortably in Si Qi's arms, nibbling the fruit in small bites. The replenished superpowers flowed through her body, repairing her dried-up superpower core.
"Do you like children?" Si Ruxu asked suddenly, scaring Si Qi so much that his supernatural power trembled a little.
"I like obedient people." Si Qi's mind was full of question marks, but he still answered her as usual.
"I'll give you one million points if you mate with me." Si Ruxu's voice was cold, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
When high-level, rare psychics mate, the resulting child is guaranteed to be a high-level, rare psychic as well. However, in the apocalyptic world, pregnancy and childbirth are extremely risky. The base had attempted to mate three high-level psychics over the past two years, but only one was successful.
The child was only a little over one year old, but he could use his special powers to control the bottle and make milk powder for himself.
When he first heard this, Si Qi thought it was ridiculous, and now it seems even more ridiculous.
She looked into Si Ruxu's eyes, trying to find a hint of joking, but there was none. "Wouldn't the apocalypse end after five major exterminations?"
"I'm not sure if I can survive five major purges, nor am I sure what the truth of the apocalypse will be after the purges." Si Ruxu finished eating the fruit and wiped his hands.
"So you want to keep a high-level child to ensure the future of the base?" Si Qi just thought it was ridiculous. "How can you guarantee that the child can survive five major massacres?"
At this time, Si Qi began to be thankful that he was just an ordinary person before. He would not panic because of being close to the truth and suffering torture, nor would he regard the base as his creed for survival.
Si Qi refused word by word, "Sorry, I don't want to do this." She had no right to persuade Si Ruxu, but she had the right to maintain her own opinion.
Si Ruxu didn't say anything. In the following days, Si Qi stopped cooking and instead ate the fruits that the plants occasionally gave her. In exchange, Si Qi would nourish them with his special powers. Sometimes Si Ruxu would give her dried meat and canned food. But she didn't want any of it.
The two of them tacitly changed the subject and no one mentioned it again. After about three or four days, Si Ruxu was able to use her supernatural powers to protect herself.
Before leaving the house with the polished stone, Si Qi reported to Si Ruxu, "I want to go out and take a look. I want to keep an eye out for any psychics chasing you."
Si Ruxu handed her a knife, then took out several sixth-level crystal cores and hid them on her body. "Be careful... Come back soon."
They had to leave this place eventually. Someone was chasing her outside, so letting Si Qi go out and explore the way was the best choice.
She tidied Si Qi's clothes and stuffed some compressed biscuits into her hands, showing the intimacy and care between lovers, if you ignore the locator she accidentally left on Si Qi.
Si Qi smiled, acknowledging the presence of the locator, and said nothing. As soon as she stepped out of the area of mutated plants, a wanted poster floated to her feet. The woman on it was delicate and cold, powerful and unapproachable.
"Hey, over there, are you here to see Si Ruxu too?" Si Qi turned around and saw a young man with a kind face, a little younger than her. He should have been a college student before the apocalypse.
She looked at the wanted poster in her hand and nodded. The boy approached her familiarly, "Me too. How about we team up and split the points 50-50?"
There were only a handful of people who dared to act alone outside the base and pursue Si Ruxu. Si Qi looked at the boy, his distrust, reluctance, and rejection evident. But the boy didn't give up. "I'm Luo Fenghe. Have you heard of me?"
Luo Feng and Si Qi's eyes flickered a little. The genius and strong man in the neighboring base had gold-type superpowers and had almost never failed in his missions. Although it was an ordinary superpower, he was extremely powerful and could fight ten people at the same time.
"No." Si Qi had no intention of arguing with him and walked towards the base. There were no more psychics in front of her, only a few wandering zombies, which she took care of.
Hunting down Si Ruxu was something most people wouldn't have the guts to do. Si Ruxu was incredibly powerful, and low-level psychics wouldn't seek death, nor would high-level psychics provoke Si Ruxu just for points. In the apocalypse, psychics had a weak sense of solidarity, with no one willing to trust anyone else. Even more rare was the grouping together to hunt down a high-level psychic.
In addition, no one thought Si Ruxu would go to the base, so most of the pursuers lingered in the positioning circle.
Si Qi swayed for a while and began to walk towards a remote cliff. When it was completely deserted, she turned her head. The space around her was torn apart, and blood-red lines spread around her eyes. She looked at the young man who came out of the darkness.
