"No. I won't let anything happen to you."

There was an inexplicable sense of reassurance in Gu Yicheng's deep voice, and Ruan Ning's fearful and uneasy heart was gradually calmed by him.

In fact, it was just that she was accidentally caught by the zombies. Considering how many zombies she had seen during the more than half a month she had survived in the apocalypse, she couldn't just die here like this.

Besides, being caught by zombies does not necessarily mean you will turn into a zombie. It is possible that a misfortune can turn into a blessing.

Maybe she can even develop supernatural powers because of this incident.

She won't die here! She definitely won't!!

In order to prevent the male protagonist from having to take care of her emotions, Ruan Ning cheered herself up and put on a smile to encourage herself. At the same time, she decisively gave up using the golf club that could only be used for defense and took out the gun that the male protagonist gave her.

Perhaps it was because he thought that since he had already been injured, he would still get infected even if he was injured a few more times. This time, Ruan Ning was not as timid as before when killing the zombies. He actually shot down several small zombies that were about to attack from the side with good accuracy.

"Brother Gu, we are here to help you."

The situation over there has stabilized, but there are only two people here, Gu Yicheng and Ruan Ning. The boy zombie is obviously a special existence among this group of zombies, with higher intelligence and more difficult to deal with.

Lin Yang and Jiang Jingchao were worried, so after resolving Xue Chen and the others' crisis, they came over to help.

The three of them had developed a tacit understanding during the battles of the past few days. Gu Yicheng had not yet recovered to the peak of his sixth-level supernatural power in his previous life. With so many zombies and the need to protect Ruan Ning, his movements were inevitably restricted.

The boy zombie had felt threatened by Gu Yicheng before, and his relentless pursuit of it angered it. It had long since given up on Ruan Ning and kept pestering Gu Yicheng, and the man and the zombie started to fight.

The boy zombie was very agile and was driving other zombies around to cause trouble. Gu Yicheng didn't know what to do with it for a while.

Now that Lin Yang and Jiang Jingchao are dealing with the other zombies, Gu Yichen can concentrate on dealing with this troublesome boy zombie.

Gu Yicheng thought of the injuries he had just seen on Ruan Ning's body, and her pale and listless face due to fear. He looked at the zombie in front of him with eyes that became colder and colder. With his palms facing up, he slowly condensed a lightning ball the size of a ping-pong ball, and the electric current crackled around him.

When Ruan Ning caught a glimpse of the lightning ball, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. This was a move that the male protagonist had created in his previous life. It condensed the lightning energy in his body into a sphere. He had used this move to deal with the Zombie King in his previous life.

The power of this move is several times stronger than directly using superpowers, but at the same time, this move also tests a superpower user's control over his or her own superpowers, and it also consumes more superpowers to condense such a lightning ball.

Even from a distance, Ruan Ning could feel the powerful force contained in this ball of lightning.

The boy zombie also felt the danger, but when it tried to dodge to the side quickly like it had done several times before, the lightning ball suddenly exploded in mid-air, expanding several times in size and instantly turning into a net. The boy zombie was unable to avoid it and was completely covered by the lightning net.

The lightning power has a greater damaging effect on zombies than other powers. Although zombies have no sense of pain, they have an instinctive fear of lightning. After being trapped in it, they roared at Gu Yicheng.

Although the boy zombie had some intelligence, he had no supernatural powers and could not break free from the lightning net. He could only stay inside and tried to tear off the lightning that trapped him with his nails, but to no avail.

Gu Yicheng's eyes were grim as he used another supernatural power. This time the lightning power hit the zombie's head directly. The boy zombie was completely trapped in the net and couldn't move. No matter how agile his body was, it was useless. Naturally, he ended up becoming a charred corpse on the ground, and the transparent crystal core in his head also fell to the ground.

This crystal core is about the same size as the crystal core of the fire-type mutant zombie that Gu Yicheng and his team encountered before. This zombie should be about to enter the second stage or has already entered the second stage to form such a large crystal core.

The superpowers use crystal cores to improve their superpowers, while the zombies advance by devouring human flesh. From this, we can know how many humans this seemingly young zombie has harmed in this place.

If it had not yet fully awakened its supernatural powers, with its level of intelligence, coupled with the group of troublesome little zombies around it, I'm afraid that not only the area in the north of the city, but most of S City would have been completely devastated by them, and eventually turned into a dead city.

After the leading boy zombie died, the remaining zombies were much easier to deal with.

However, after this round of consumption, Gu Yicheng's ability was almost exhausted. The same was true for the others, whose physical strength and abilities were beginning to be overdrawn. If this continued, I'm afraid they wouldn't get any benefit at all.

Thinking of this, everyone no longer wanted to fight until they killed all those zombies. Instead, they retreated step by step to their car, ready to find a chance to leave this place.

There was no longer a situation where zombies swarmed in front of the car like before. The group drove away the group of zombies smoothly in a short time.

Seeing that the zombies were no longer chasing them, the tense atmosphere in the car eased a lot.

Ruan Ning sat in the back seat, but her eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Yichen beside her.

This was the first time that Ruan Ning had seen the male protagonist in such a horrible state. Although his clothes were only a little dirty and he was not injured, it was rare to see him in such a state.

"Brother." She called out.

Gu Yicheng had just taken out the medicine box from under his seat and was about to treat Ruan Ning's wound and apply medicine. When he heard her calling him, he stopped, raised his eyes, and asked in a gentle voice, "Ningning, what's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"

Thinking that she had gotten into danger and been injured just to help him, Gu Yicheng's gentle tone was filled with guilt and worry that he had never had before.

"no."

Ruan Ning looked at Gu Yicheng in front of her, feeling a little complicated. She actually didn't regret stopping the zombie from attacking the hero just now.

Ruan Ning probably knew in her heart that with her skills, if the male master hadn't been there to protect her, she would have been beaten to death by the zombies many times, even if she only suffered this little injury. At least the male master is fine now, which is better than being scratched by the zombies after he was seriously injured.

Ruan Ning also knew that the male protagonist didn't know that she was not a real psychic, so it was natural that she didn't think about whether she would be infected after being scratched by the zombies.

"Brother, I, I..."

When the time came, Ruan Ning suddenly wanted to tell them the whole truth, including the fact that she had already had the space long before she told them, and she had lied to them. But before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and her delicate brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that her physical condition was very bad, with pain and discomfort. The pain came from the wound on her hand, and the discomfort was that her chest felt particularly stuffy, as if something heavy was pressing on it.

But strangely, her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Ruan Ning roughly estimated that her heart rate was at least over 200.

A normal person's heart rate is usually between 60 and 100, and her heart rate is twice the normal maximum heart rate. According to common sense, she should have died suddenly with such a high heart rate, but now even though she feels uncomfortable, she is still alive and well here, which is not normal at all.

By the way... is she going to become a zombie??!

Ruan Ning has no idea what a person who is about to become a zombie will feel before becoming a zombie.

Her eyes fell on the wounds on the back of her hand. Two wounds penetrated her entire back of the hand, looking very hideous. The blood dyed the cuffs red, and the areas around the wounds also had the same abnormal color as the zombie skin.

Or...she could try it with the crystal core?

Ruan Ning suddenly thought of the time when she was treating the wound on her arm. Since she was able to use the crystal core to heal the wound quickly last time, and there was not even a scar on her body in the end, maybe the crystal core could help her eliminate the zombie virus from her body this time?

Ruan Ning had no other choice now. She could only try her best to do something. It was better than doing nothing and just staying here uselessly, waiting for God to bless her with safety.

After thinking of the method of using crystal cores for treatment, Ruan Ning took out the largest crystal core from those given to her by the male protagonists in the space.

Sure enough, just like last time, the crystal core quickly turned into liquid in Ruan Ning's hand and merged into her skin, adding a sense of warmth to her body.

However, Ruan Ning used more than ten pills in a row but to no avail. The wound on the back of her hand caused by the zombie's scratch was still bleeding. Seeing this, her heart couldn't help but feel cold.

Doesn't this method work on wounds infected by the zombie virus?

Thinking that all the supplies would be useless if she died, Ruan Ning's men did not stop absorbing the crystal cores, and the crystal cores disappeared into her body one by one.

In her grief, Ruan Ning did not notice that after she looked away, the black color around the wound was slowly disappearing. Not long after, the blood flowing from the wound had turned bright red, no longer the abnormal black and red color before.

But Gu Yicheng, who was closest to Ruan Ning and was about to treat her wounds, saw this abnormal phenomenon clearly. The two wounds even began to scab over as soon as the medicine powder was sprinkled on them.

Is the wound healing itself?

When Gu Yicheng saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

After awakening their powers, the ability of a psychic to heal from wounds is indeed much stronger than that of an ordinary person, but it is not so incredible.

During this short period of time, the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The only thing that can achieve this level is probably the healing ability.
