After destroying the mutated zombie, Gu Yicheng quickly walked to Ruan Ning, squatted down and checked her condition.

——Ruan Ning’s condition looks very bad.

She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today, and now a patch of red had appeared on her light blue coat.

Not only that, Ruan Ning also sprained his ankle when he fell just now, and it hurts terribly now.

Gu Yicheng just wanted to help her up from the ground, but Ruan Ning almost cried out in pain. Her innocent face was now blurred with tears, making her look particularly pitiful. "Brother..."

"It's all my fault." As he said this, a hint of annoyance appeared between Gu Yicheng's brows.

He didn't mean to hurt her.

Ruan Ning was in so much pain that her heart ached. She didn’t forget to use her uninjured hand to pull the male lead and said softly, “Don’t blame me, brother. The zombie didn’t hurt me. I was injured because I accidentally fell. I really don’t feel any pain…” Oh, how could it not hurt? It hurts so much!!

This was the first time Ruan Ning was injured after the apocalypse. She didn't expect that she would be injured so seriously all of a sudden.

Today she finally realized how fragile and delicate this body was. Ruan Ning had fallen down during a physical education class before. Her entire knee was bruised and swollen, but it had never hurt as much as it did now.

"Sister Ruan Ning, are you okay?" After noticing the situation here, Lin Yang hurried over after he and Chaozi dealt with the zombies around them and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Ruan Ning pursed her lips weakly, her voice a little aggrieved, "It's all my fault that you're being held back."

Lin Yang looked anxious: "Sister Ruan Ning, what's the point of talking about being a burden or not! The most important thing now is that your wound needs to be treated, otherwise it will get infected and it will be bad."

Gu Yichen looked at the pale-faced girl beside him, frowned, bent down, reached out his hand, and easily picked up the girl.

Ruan Ning was originally still in great pain, but she didn't expect the male protagonist to suddenly do such a thing. She screamed in fright, and because of fear, she subconsciously wrapped her hands around the male protagonist's neck, fearing that she would fall off.

Gu Yicheng was held a little tight by the person in his arms, but he didn't feel unhappy this time. He said to the other two people, "Let's go back to the safe zone now."

Gu Yicheng didn't come to the factory this time because he was bored or came here specifically to kill zombies. His main purpose, or should I say his original purpose, was to collect supplies.

This is a meat processing factory. Because there are so many zombies here, there are still a lot of supplies preserved in its warehouse that have not been taken away. In addition, the warehouse of this kind of factory has a certain capacity to store those frozen meats, so the supplies inside should still be intact.

The information about this supply point was seen by Gu Yicheng in a work report in his previous life. However, the factory's warehouse had been without power for too long at that time, and the meat in the entire warehouse rotted and stank after a short period of storage. The team that was sent to collect supplies had to return home in disappointment.

The reason why Gu Yicheng came here this time was that he wanted to store all the materials that had not yet deteriorated into the space before going to City B, and also to prepare for going to the Hope Base in the Imperial Capital in the future.

But for now, this warehouse will have to come back another day.

Gu Yicheng didn't hesitate, he carried the person in his arms into the car, and then quickly left the factory.

****

There were gauze and medicine in the car, but because Ruan Ning's injury was on his arm, it was inconvenient for him to apply the medicine himself, so this task had to be taken over by Gu Yi, who was also in the back seat.

Ruan Ning took off his coat with great difficulty while gasping for breath, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal the injured wound.

Sure enough, the skin on her left arm near the outside had been worn away by the pebbles and looked bloody.

Ruan Ning, who had never suffered such a "serious" injury before, could hardly bear to watch this scene.

"If it hurts, just say it."

This was the first time that Gu Yicheng applied medicine to a person of the opposite sex. The girl in front of him seemed to be particularly delicate. When he moved a little harder, her eyes welled up with tears, but she didn't cry. She just kept looking at him with her clear black and white eyes. Her look made Gu Yicheng, who was always proficient in everything, feel embarrassed and at a loss for the first time.

After finally applying the medicine and wrapping the wound with gauze, Ruan Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It took a lot less time to go back from the factory than it did to come here.

Whenever he encountered zombies on the way back, Gu Yichen no longer used guns. Instead, he impatiently used his supernatural power to chop down several zombies. The speed of killing zombies with that power was many times faster than that of thermal weapons.

Ruan Ning watched from the side, feeling jealous and amazed.

Because the factory and the safe zone are both on the outskirts of the city, there are not as many zombies here as compared to the city, so the car drove back to the safe zone smoothly.

Ruan Ning looked at the man with deep features who had walked to her car door, lowering his eyes, and hesitantly said, "Brother... I, I can actually walk by myself."

After saying that, she wanted to prove to the male protagonist that she could walk now, and she hurriedly got down from her seat. However, in the process, she accidentally pulled the wound, and she gasped in pain, and a few physiological tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes.

"Don't you want your feet anymore?" Gu Yichen's eyes turned cold, and without waiting for her to say anything, he picked her up.

Ruan Ning was a sensitive person, and it was fine just now when there were only a few of them around, but now that they were back in the safe zone, she still wanted the male protagonist to hold her, which was really embarrassing.

Moreover, she remembered that she was not wearing a mask.

Ruan Ning hesitated for a moment, then decided to go for broke and buried her face in the male protagonist's arms.
