Su Yunjin was alone, and had no relatives or friends at Base No. 3. The only people he was familiar with were probably his roommates, but they had barely spoken to each other.
As for the two people in front of him, he was sure that he didn't know them at all.
If they were not dressed neatly and their temperament seemed out of place in Zone D, they would have looked down upon his contribution points and supplies. Su Yunjin would even suspect that these two people came to collect protection fees or to rob.
Gu Yicheng looked at Su Yunjin's face, which had the same facial features but looked a little immature, and confirmed that he was the person he was looking for. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his voice was gentle, "It doesn't matter whether you know us or not. What matters is that I know what you are troubled by now. That's why we are here."
Gu Yicheng knew that Su Yunjin had clearly awakened his superpowers a long time ago, but he did not claim to be a superpower user. Instead, he kept it hidden because an experience he had before coming to Base No. 3 left him with a deep shadow.
"I think you've got the wrong person. I've been doing well in the base these days without any trouble. If there's nothing else, please leave." Su Yunjin thought of that incident and clenched his fingers nervously. No, it's impossible. He hadn't told anyone about this, and it was impossible for anyone to know.
The boy was still too young. Although he said some provocative words, the uneasiness that inadvertently flashed in his eyes completely revealed his emotions.
Gu Yicheng remained calm and ignored his resistance. He continued, "Do you just want to stay like this forever? Don't you want to know how to control this power? Don't you want to have the ability to survive in this apocalypse?"
His tone was not aggressive, and his eyes were cold, as if he was just asking the person in front of him a few simple questions.
To others, what Gu Yicheng said might seem confusing and incomprehensible, but Su Yunjin had something on his mind, and when he understood what he meant, he was shocked.
"I, I..." He certainly didn't want to continue living like this in the base, but he didn't dare to expose his differences from others. The two conflicting thoughts made him unable to sleep or eat for the past two days.
"There are too many people here, would you mind finding a quieter place to chat with us?"
Gu Yicheng believed that even if he didn't come to him this time, there would always be an opportunity in the future for Su Yunjin to think about the problem that had been bothering him. After all, this person had taken this step smoothly in his previous life.
However, if it weren't for Ruan Ning's awakening of his superpowers, Gu Yicheng might not have pointed it out so bluntly this time. He was of course very clear about the role of a healing superpower. Besides, he had indeed thought of recruiting him when he came to City B before.
But now, this person has become dispensable to him.
If Su Yunjin did not agree to leave with them today, Gu Yichen would choose to knock him out and take him away. Then he would have his own way to force him to use his healing ability.
Gu Yicheng has never been a kind person and has no patience for those who don't care about him.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Su Yunjin bit her lip, remained silent for a long time, and finally agreed.
He could feel that this person was not deceiving him.
…
Su Yunjin followed Ruan Ning and Gu Yichen to a house.
Apart from taking a quick look inside when he entered, he didn't look at it any further.
This should be their residence. Although it is also in District D, a quick glance can tell that the environment here is much better than where he lives.
However, in Su Yunjin's understanding, these two people should live in Area A or Area B. Area D doesn't seem like a place for them to live.
Su Yunjin thought so even more after the girl next to the man took off her mask.
Gu Yicheng did not waste time explaining anything to Su Yunjin beside him, but directly took out a knife from the space and cut a cut on the palm of his hand. Blood immediately flowed down his palm.
This scene stunned Ruan Ning, who was originally considering whether to make a pot of tea for the two of them to chat slowly.
She asked anxiously, "Brother, what are you doing?!" Why did you suddenly commit suicide?
Gu Yicheng, who cut himself with a knife, said without even frowning, "Ning Ning, use your special ability to heal me now."
Hearing him calling her, Ruan Ning finally realized the protagonist's intention. Seeing the blood flowing out of the wound like it was free, she didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly grabbed a handful of crystal cores from the space.
However, this was her first time treating someone's wound, and she didn't know if it would work. If it didn't work, although the wound on her hand wouldn't be dangerous, it would still be painful to watch.
With the experience of the previous two treatments, Ruan Ning seemed relatively calm. The crystal core melted and disappeared, but this time it was of no use. The energy flowed through her body, but could not be effectively transmitted to the people around her.
"Brother, give me your other hand." She thought for a moment and said.
Gu Xicheng looked calm and stretched out his hand without any hesitation. Ruan Ning tried to hold his hand. Although I don't know how to treat others, if it is possible, maybe physical contact is needed?
Fortunately, Ruan Ning was lucky this time and used the right method to treat others at once.
After the crystal core melted, the heat generated in her body moved along the place where the two hands touched, and was finally used to heal the bleeding wound.
Gu Yicheng soon felt a slight burning sensation at the wound on the palm of his hand.
During this process, Ruan Ning carefully discovered that helping others with their treatments took more crystal cores and took longer than treating herself. But it was indeed feasible. Her ability could help others with their treatments.
Su Yunjin, who was standing by, saw Gu Yichen's wound slowly healing, and his expression became a little dazed, and he suddenly thought of his own experience.
Three days ago, when he went to build the wall, the rubble scratched his hands with many large and small scratches. It was common to get a little hurt while working, and Su Yunjin didn't care. He was ready to continue working as usual and apply some herbal medicine when he got back. But at this time, the wounds slowly healed under his eyes.
However, this phenomenon did not make Su Yunjin feel excited.
He didn't stay at Base No. 3 at the beginning. He first went to another safe base in City B. The management of that base was chaotic, and one side dominated. One day, they captured all the superpowers in the base. And Su Yunjin's uncle happened to be one of the first people to awaken superpowers.
Su Yunjin's mother died of complications during childbirth, and his father was an alcoholic who was away from home for days and weeks and didn't care about him at all, so he grew up with his uncle and aunt. His uncle and aunt had no children, so they treated him like their own son. His feelings for them were much deeper than his feelings for his eccentric father.
Unfortunately, his aunt turned into a zombie when the apocalypse broke out, and his alcoholic father let the zombie into the door because he was drunk and finally died at its hands.
To Su Yunjin at that time, his uncle was his only relative in this world. When he was captured, Su Yunjin certainly could not sit idly by. After asking around and giving away all the food he had, he finally managed to sneak into the research institute that was said to hold people with special abilities.
But he was a step too late. When he got there, a superpower in the base couldn't stand the torture of drugs and chose to self-destruct. The whole institute collapsed. Because he had just stepped into the gate and was far away from the center of the explosion, he escaped and only suffered some superficial injuries. However, the superpowers in the center of the institute, including Su Yunjin's uncle and those researchers, all died.
Later, the explosion in the research institute attracted a large wave of zombies. Their base was just a small base built next to the Biological Research Institute in City B, and all the psychics were dead. They could not stop the attack of so many zombies. In the end, some of the survivors died, and some escaped.
Su Yunjin was one of the people who escaped from that base. On the way, he was lucky enough to meet a rescue team, and then he followed them to the No. 3 base.
So when he suddenly discovered that he had this sudden healing ability, his first reaction was not excitement, but fear and terror.
He still couldn't forget his uncle's death. He was afraid that he would end up like the other psychics who died in the institute, but he also kept blaming himself for not saving him earlier.
Su Yunjin even preferred to be an ordinary person. Moreover, he had never heard of other people with special abilities having this ability. He was afraid that he would become one of the outliers and repeat the same mistakes.
But now...
Su Yunjin stared at the brother and sister for a long time, and made a decision. He suddenly stood up and took the knife that Gu Yicheng had just used. Ruan Ning, who had just healed the wound on Gu Yicheng's hand, was startled by Su Yunjin's action. Just when she thought he was going to fight them with a knife, she saw him imitate the male protagonist and cut a similar cut on the palm of his hand.
Ruan Ning frowned at this and couldn't help thinking that the two men were really cruel to him. Even if they wanted to test his superpowers, they could have been more lenient.
Su Yunjin closed his eyes. After a while, a faint white light emanated from the palm of his hand. The white light enveloped the wound, absorbing the blood bit by bit, and then the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, his healing speed is slower than when Ruan Ning used crystal core treatment on Gu Yicheng.
Ruan Ning had never seen how other healing psychics treated patients before. After observing her today, she found that Su Yunjin was completely different from her. Her ability was not like what the male protagonist said, that it was because her psychic ability was not fully activated.
Because she was indeed much stronger than Su Yunjin, who had fully activated her superpowers. How could someone who hadn't fully activated their powers be more powerful than someone who had activated them? She even felt that the two of them might have been the other way around.
Ruan Ning raised her head and looked at Gu Yicheng beside her. He happened to be looking at her and reached out to touch her head. "It doesn't matter if they are different."
"Brother, I'm fine." Ruan Ning's mental state was not that bad. She was only particularly worried when she was scratched by the zombies. In fact, even if there were side effects, they would be in the future. It was useless for her to think too much now.
A few minutes later, Su Yunjin opened his eyes and there was only a faint mark on the palm of his hand.
After he finished the treatment, he did not go to see Gu Yicheng, but stared at Ruan Ning with his amber eyes.
Although he didn't say a word, Ruan Ning could feel that the boy's wariness towards her seemed not as strong as at the beginning.
As one of the important members of the male protagonist team, Ruan Ning certainly knew about Su Yunjin's previous tragic experience. To be honest, she was afraid of being dissected at first, half because of his impression. She understood the feeling of a person who was fighting alone and was afraid to move forward because of his weak strength.
"Do you want to join our Dawn Team? In addition to my brother and I, there are many other people in the team. With everyone here, no one will dare to bully you in the future." She showed her small white teeth, "When the time comes, I will beat one by one, and if two come, I will beat both."
Since the male protagonist wants to recruit this person into the team, as a caring and sensible sister, she must help him fool him. Ahem, not fool him, but help this young man have a better future.
"I'll go with you." Su Yunjin used to have a little baby fat on his face, but the changes in the past month have made him lose weight quickly, and his jawline has become clearer. His eyes are bright and full of determination.
This look was a little different from the one Ruan Ning saw him yesterday. The boy who accidentally bumped into her yesterday was much more timid than today.
But Ruan Ning was ready to roll up his sleeves and have a great time. Even if it didn't take several hours, it would take at least half an hour and twenty minutes.
But she had just opened her mouth and this person agreed right away. It was too easy.
This does not reflect the role she played in it at all.
