Ruan Ning never imagined that the only person injured in this operation would be Gu Yichen.

His left shoulder rib was pierced and the flesh was turned up, which was shocking to look at. Although he was wearing a black coat, the blood still seeped out, making the color of the cloth in that area much darker than other places.

Ruan Ning's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this. He quickly walked forward and supported him, with a hint of obvious anxiety and concern in his tone, "Brother, you are injured. I will treat you right away!"

Seeing that Ruan Ning was fine and standing in front of him safely, Gu Yicheng's handsome and cold eyes softened a lot, but he still said, "We can't stay here for long. There is still a fourth-level mutant zombie over there. If we hurt it, it will probably catch up with us. To be safe, we should hurry up and leave this place and find a more secluded place."

The whole team rushed to get there, which meant that his injuries could not be treated in time. Ruan Ning frowned. Although she knew that he did this for the safety of everyone in the team, she still disagreed with his self-abuse.

There was such a big bloody hole on his body, a wound with flesh torn apart, she felt pain for him just looking at it.

Lin Yang, who followed Ruan Ning, was also a little worried because it was the first time he saw Brother Gu so seriously injured. "But what about your injury, Brother Gu? Otherwise, we should heal our wounds first before we set off. We don't need half an hour. If that fourth-level mutant zombie really comes, don't forget that we are still here."

Gu Yicheng looked calm and said in a deep voice, "No need, let's hurry up. I know the extent of my injuries and I can handle it."

"Brother." Ruan Ning shouted in disapproval at his indifference to his injuries.

Gu Yicheng looked at Ruan Ning, who was worried, with a slight smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Ningning, don't worry, I'm fine..."

Ruan Ning moved his mouth and wanted to say something to persuade him, but the people around him had already arranged the matter under Gu Yicheng's gaze, so he had to give up.

****

The team set out again in the dark, and finally they found a relatively safe place to stay near dawn.

This is a new property that was recently launched.

This new property is located in the development zone of City X. It has just been built and there are not many people living around it. It is very empty, which also means that there are very few zombies in this place.

After an hour's drive, Ruan Ning discovered that Gu Yicheng's lips had lost color due to excessive blood loss. Although he appeared to be calm and in control of the situation, she inexplicably felt uncomfortable in her heart.

In Ruan Ning's heart, Gu Yicheng has always been a powerful presence. He is her umbrella. No matter what danger she encounters, this person will be by her side. It seems that there is nothing in this world that he can't do. With him around, she doesn't have to worry about anything, because he will consider everything for her.

However, under this person's long-term protection, Ruan Ning almost forgot that he was also an "ordinary person" with flesh and blood, and he could also be hurt.

Ruan Ning couldn't help but feel a trace of heartache and guilt.

Just now on the road, Chaozi told her that there were a lot of zombies on the scene and no one was free. Gu Yicheng was fighting one against three, and he blocked a fourth-level mutant zombie and two third-level mutant zombies by himself, so he was unable to fight and was injured.

If only she could be stronger, with an offensive power as powerful as his lightning power, then she wouldn't have to be protected by him, but could fight alongside him and not have to watch him get hurt.

…

Ruan Ning found a house in a new building that had been inhabited before the end of the world, and helped the man next to her to the bed.

Everyone else left the room, leaving Ruan Ning alone to treat Gu Yicheng's wounds.

Ruan Ning did not dare to delay for a moment and took out the crystal core from the space to treat the person in front of her. His injuries were more serious than she had imagined, and she used dozens of second-level crystal cores in a row to stabilize the injuries.

Watching the bloody hole in front of her slowly healing, Ruan Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to absorb the crystal core. She did not release her tight grip on his hand until his wounds were completely healed and no scars were visible.

Ruan Ning tried to sit up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, he started to feel dizzy and fell back onto the bed.

Gu Yicheng stopped pulling up his clothes and quickly reached out to catch the girl, holding her in his arms, "Ning Ning!"

Ruan Ning shook her head, slowly coming to her senses from the dizziness, and subconsciously struggled to get out of his arms, her voice a little weak: "Brother, I'm fine, I just suddenly feel a little dizzy."

Although Ruan Ning's treatment of others did not consume her special powers, it did consume her physical strength. Her body was relatively fragile and her physical strength was limited. She had already treated several seriously injured patients during the day, and in the evening she came to help treat Yi Cheng, so she was exhausted.

However, Ruan Ning said that she was fine and she was not lying to reassure Gu Yicheng. She was really fine and just needed to find a place to rest. If she had a good sleep tonight, she would be full of energy tomorrow.

Gu Yicheng touched her forehead with his cold fingertips, and at the same time, he held the girl who wanted to break free in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't move. Didn't you say you were dizzy? Just rest for a while."

Just rest in his arms like this? ?

Ruan Ning didn't believe that the man next to her didn't notice how intimate their posture was. They had completely exceeded the boundaries of normal siblings.

So he was indirectly asking for her answer to that matter...

Ruan Ning pursed her lips and thought about the decision she made this morning. Since she had already decided to take this step, there was no need to be pretentious now.

Perhaps she will never find another person in this world who can treat her as well as he does.

The most important thing is that she doesn't reject his approach. And in a situation like today, if it was any other man besides him, she would decisively push him away, instead of just feeling a little awkward and embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Ruan Ning's eyes became much firmer, and her petite body shrank into the warm embrace behind her. Although she didn't say a word, her actions were enough to prove her choice.

Gu Yicheng looked at the person lying quietly in his arms without any resistance, and joy flashed in his eyes. He slowly tightened his arms and hugged the person tighter. He was full of possessiveness and would not allow anyone to take away the most precious treasure in his life.
