Ruan Ning said that the mutant zombie was really miserable. It could have beaten several more newcomers here, and maybe become a high-level zombie in the future. But it was unlucky. It met the male protagonist here not long after it appeared, and finally turned into a fiery red crystal core in the male protagonist's hand.

There was no use for Gu Yicheng to hold the fire crystal core, so he gave it to Xie Fei, who was also a fire-type mutant in the team.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu!"

Xie Fei was surprised and delighted when he received the crystal core. Gu Shao killed the zombie alone, and they didn't contribute much. Xie Fei never thought that the crystal core would end up in his hands.

Not only Xie Fei, but even Xue Chen and others in the team were surprised when they saw this scene. It would have been fine if they didn't know the value of the crystal core before, but now that they know, they can't help but be touched by Gu Yicheng's action.

As for those who are not on the team, even if they really want to get the crystal core, they have to consider whether they can defeat Gu Yicheng and the others.

Anyone with a little self-awareness would understand that when that mutated zombie caused everyone to be in such a state, this crystal core was destined to have no connection with them.

The crystal core of this fire-type mutant zombie is slightly larger than the nail of a thumb and is completely fiery red. At first glance, you can tell that this is not an ordinary crystal core.

Although Ruan Ning didn't see the mutated zombie with his own eyes, he knew from the size of this crystal core that this mutated zombie must be more than one level. At least it should be about to enter the second level or has already entered the second level.

While dealing with this mutated zombie, the male protagonist did not suffer any injuries at all. It seems that killing a second-level mutated zombie is not a difficult task for him.

Mutated zombies are generally more powerful than people with the same level of abilities. I don't know at what stage the male protagonist's lightning ability has reached at this time?

Ruan Ning thought about it and felt that he must be not weak. It was possible that his ability level was almost reaching the third level.

It has been less than a month since the apocalypse. Some people have not yet awakened their superpowers and can only rely on cold weapons to kill zombies and survive. Some people have just awakened their superpowers and are still in the exploratory stage. However, the male protagonist Gu Yicheng can already defeat the second-level mutant zombies.

It is true that comparison makes one feel thief.

Ruan Ning was happy that the male protagonist was so powerful, so that her safety as a "fellow teammate" would be better guaranteed. At the same time, she was worried about when she could become as powerful as the male protagonist.

…

Having just dealt with a group of zombies, the team had consumed too much physical strength and supernatural powers. So for safety reasons, Xue Chen arranged for everyone to stay here to rest and leave for the gas station after lunch.

The rescue team next to them suffered heavy casualties and could not leave so quickly. They are now resting in place and counting the casualties.

When they came out of the safe zone, there were dozens of people in total. There were very few superpowers in the team, and most of the people who came were ordinary people. After being tormented by the zombie swarm, five people in the team died, eight were seriously injured, and basically everyone was injured.

In contrast, on Ruan Ning's side, except for Li Bao from the team who suffered minor injuries when fighting the zombies, everyone else was intact.

What Ruan Ning didn't expect was that she could see Qin Renhao here. He actually became a member of the rescue team.

He was considered to be the least injured among the rescue team. Only a palm-sized patch of skin on his arm was burned. But even so, the wound after being burned by the flames still looked a little scary. If it was not treated properly, it might get infected.

"Brother, I saw a high school classmate over there. Can I go over and say hello to him?" Ruan Ning originally wanted to go directly over, but suddenly remembered what the male protagonist had said before, asking her not to walk around casually, so she decided to talk to Gu Yicheng first.

"High school classmate?" Gu Yichen narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction Ruan Ning was looking. Outside the store, stood a handsome boy about her age.

"Ningning, if you want to go, then go ahead. But it's best not to leave everyone's sight. The zombies outside may come in at any time." Gu Yichen retracted his gaze and said lightly.

Ruan Ning nodded, but she didn't think anything could happen to her in such a short distance. When she heard the male lead agreed, she immediately walked out of the car 4S store excitedly.

"Ruan Ning? Why are you here?!"

Qin Renhao had just followed what others did and used a knife to dig out the rotten flesh from the wound to prevent infection. Now there was not much blood on his face and he looked a little weak.

However, when he saw Ruan Ning, Qin Renhao couldn't hide his surprise and joy on his face.

Since that meeting in the safe zone, he has never been lucky enough to run into her again in the safe zone. He doesn't know her address, and she has never come to see him.

"It's hard to bandage your wound by yourself. Let me help you." Ruan Ning thought of this man's friendly attitude towards her before, and how he once wanted to help her change her cold medicine. Now that he is like this, she can't just watch him frantically bandage someone else's wound.

"Well, then I'll trouble you." Qin Renhao originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ruan Ning's bright eyes and the concern in them, the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red, and then he nodded in agreement.

"This is actually my first time bandaging someone's wound. I hope you don't mind that I don't bandage it well."

Ruan Ning took the bandage from him, looked at the wound that was bleeding without any medicine applied, frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Can you really heal this wound without applying medicine?"

Qin Renhao was quite open-minded. "After awakening their powers, the wounds of people with special abilities will heal much faster than before. I can still bear this injury."

The conditions in the rescue team were not good. There were not many medicines, and wound medicine was even more scarce, so they could only be used on the seriously injured people in the team first. Antibiotics were even rarer, otherwise Qin Renhao would not have to use the method of digging out rotten meat to prevent infection.

There were some medicines in Ruan Ning's space, but she didn't go to the pharmacy when she was collecting supplies that time, so these medicines were not hers. They were prepared by the team and placed in her space as backup.

Ruan Ning was well aware of the importance of such supplies in the end times, so she was not qualified to decide on her own whether to use the medicine on someone who was not in the team.

But it doesn't seem good to just leave him alone to treat the wound in such a crude way...

Just when Ruan Ning was wondering whether to go to the male protagonist or Xue Chen for instructions, Jiang Jingchao came over and handed Ruan Ning iodine and Yunnan Baiyao.

"Brother Gu asked me to deliver this to you, saying that your classmate might be able to use it." Jiang Jingchao had other things to do, so he left after delivering the medicine.

After receiving the medicine, Ruan Ning looked through the glass of the car 4S shop to find the male protagonist. Gu Yicheng was talking to Captain Su of the rescue team, the middle-aged man who was seriously injured, in the rest area and didn't pay attention to this.

Someone had already sent him medicine, so Ruan Ning didn't need to worry about anything else. He quickly treated Qin Renhao's wound, disinfecting it with iodine first, and then applying Yunnan Baiyao.

"By the way, who is the Brother Gu that person was talking about just now?" Qin Renhao asked casually while she was treating the wound.

Ruan Ning tied the cloth into a bow, finishing the bandaging operation, and said casually: "That's my brother. He is also a very powerful psychic!"

Qin Renhao finally felt relieved after hearing this answer. He had just looked in the direction of Ruan Ning's sight and happened to meet the man's eyes. The sharp look he cast at him made him feel a chill on his back.

Ruan Ning has always been very low-key in school. Qin Renhao doesn't know much about her family situation, nor does he know who is in her family. But just from the first meeting, Qin Renhao can feel that Ruan Ning's brother is definitely not an idle person.

But with such a person around, Ruan Ning should be able to live better in the apocalypse, right?

Qin Renhao also heard that it was the team he and Ruan Ning were with that saved everyone, otherwise they might still be being chased and beaten by a group of zombies and that mutated zombie in this place.

Qin Renhao once thought that after he had super powers, he would be able to protect himself and those he wanted to protect, but after experiencing today, he fully realized his own weakness, otherwise he would not be completely helpless in front of the mutated zombies.

This time, in addition to saying hello to Qin Renhao, Ruan Ning also had something more important to ask him.

Since they had already left the safe zone and didn't know if they would meet again in the future, Ruan Ning did not use any roundabout way of asking, but asked directly.

Then, from Qin Renhao, Ruan Ning learned some information she wanted to know.

Chen Ying'er didn't stay in the team of the first grade of junior high school for a few days. Before Qin Renhao joined the rescue team, she went to live with her boyfriend who also came to the safe zone. It seems that she followed that person to leave the safe zone. Because her boyfriend's family is not in S City, he came to the safe zone to replenish supplies, so Chen Ying'er followed him after he left.

After hearing this, Ruan Ning felt a little disappointed, but he didn't feel any resentment or unwillingness.

After all, the person who experienced these pains in the previous life was the original owner, not herself. Ruan Ning only had this memory belonging to the original owner, and knew what happened, but she had never had the same experience and could not empathize with it.

It seemed that the only thing she could do was to give an explanation to the original owner when she met the person who killed the original owner in the previous life. However, if she could not meet or had no chance to teach that person a lesson, Ruan Ning would not be bothered by it.

But to be honest, Ruan Ning didn't know how to teach Chen Ying'er a lesson. She had thought of several plans, all kinds of them, but she rejected them all at the beginning.

After all, Ruan Ning couldn't do something like this person, who would take advantage of others' misfortunes and push them into the zombie horde, and he couldn't do it under the pretext of revenge for others. A dog can bite a person, but a person can't bite a dog afterwards.
