After a while, Xiaoxing calmed down and opened her eyes: "I leveled up, I'm level three, Grandma."
Grandma untied Xiaoxing: "Xiaoxing is great."
Xiao Xing looked at Mu Wenxi and said, "Thank you, sister."
Mu Wenxi shook her head, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and left the room, with Qin Lun following behind her step by step.
Upon entering the room, Mu Wenxi said to Qin Lun, "You must take a shower before going to bed."
Qin Lun nodded.
Inside the room on the fifth floor, Mu Wenxi placed the green crystal core in front of Qin Lun, indicating that he should absorb it. Qin Lun swallowed it in one gulp, just like yesterday, but nothing happened after a while.
Mu Wenxi frowned. Still not working? She finished absorbing the remaining crystal cores and took Qin Lun to take a bath. Qin Lun was startled by the sudden splash of cold water and shook Mu Wenxi off.
Mu Wenxi: "Hey, Qin Lun!"
Qin Lun looked at her innocently. Mu Wenxi casually rubbed Qin Lun's body. When she rubbed the sensitive areas, Qin Lun immediately dodged away from Mu Wenxi's hand. Mu Wenxi said, "Okay, if you don't want to wash, then I'll wash your feet."
Mu Wenxi wrapped Qin Lun in a blanket and spoke to him, knowing he could understand: "We may be leaving soon. I've told you before, haven't I? I'm not from this world. I'm here to save you and take revenge, but before I do, I hope you can return to your original form."
Qin Lun didn't react. Mu Wenxi fell asleep as she talked. In the darkness, Qin Lun lay beside her just like yesterday, and a light flashed across his body in the middle of the night.
For the next few days, Mu Wenxi and his three companions cleaned up the city's zombies from morning till night. In the following days, they even drove out every day and drove back late at night.
Their harvest was enormous. In terms of supplies, Mu Wenxi did not hide the fact that he had spatial abilities from his grandmother and Xiaoxing. Most of the supplies were stored in his space, and the remaining three people each took a small portion to carry with them, enough to last them a month.
They obtained several hundred crystal cores in total. Although most of them were killed by Mu Wenxi, the vast majority were absorbed by Qin Lun and Xiao Xing.
Mu Wenxi's ability has reached the fifth level, and Xiao Xing is on the verge of moving from the third level to the fourth level, but Qin Lun has not changed at all.
Mu Wenxi was puzzled and almost thought that Xiao A's speculation was wrong, that Qin Lun had to grow up in the laboratory, but soon a pleasant surprise came.
On the night Mu Wenxi upgraded to the fifth rank, Qin Lun was unusually restless.
Mu Wenxi thought he was scared, so he hugged Qin Lun and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's just a level up. I didn't have any reaction when I leveled up before. I must be a genius."
Qin Lun calmed down a bit, and Mu Wenxi then began to absorb a green crystal core. Before that, she had already absorbed many crystal cores and reached a bottleneck.
She imitated Xiaoxing by binding her hands and feet before picking up the crystal core with her mouth and swallowing it.
The crystal core melted instantly upon entering her mouth, not as "unclean" as Mu Wenxi had imagined. However, this time it wasn't as easy as Mu Wenxi had thought. She began to feel herself slowly getting hot, and soon her body felt like it was on fire. Large beads of sweat streamed down Mu Wenxi's forehead. She bit down on the towel, and her eyes became slightly cloudy.
Qin Lun paced anxiously on the floor, even reaching out her little paws to try and pat Mu Wenxi to wake her up, but Mu Wenxi didn't react at all. Her head started to feel very swollen, and soon it felt like many dense needles were piercing her brain.
Qin Lun saw that her condition was getting worse and worse and started to roar.
"Mu Wenxi! Wake up."
"Don't sleep, just hold on a little longer."
Mu Wenxi gradually calmed down. After a long time, the sky outside the window gradually brightened, and Mu Wenxi slowly opened his eyes: "It worked! It worked!"
Mu Wenxi sniffed at his own body, which reeked of sweat. He thought about taking a shower, but then remembered something and muttered to himself, "When I was leveling up just now, I think I heard someone calling my name and telling me to keep going! Could it be a ghost?"
Qin Lun had already been awakened by her, and upon hearing her muttering to herself, he felt somewhat helpless: "It's me."
Mu Wenxi was startled by the sudden sound and jumped up on the spot: "What was that sound?"
Qin Lun tilted his head back and said in a soft, childlike voice, "It's me!"
Mu Wenxi looked down and saw Qin Lun. She excitedly picked up Qin Lun and shook him vigorously: "Oh my god, you can finally talk! All these days of hard work have paid off. Hurry up and say one more word."
Qin Lun: "Thank you."
Mu Wenxi lifted Qin Lun up: "Wow, your voice is so cute, like a soft little boy."
Qin Lun was a little uncomfortable with Mu Wenxi holding him up, because it meant his whole body was exposed in front of Mu Wenxi. He scratched at Mu Wenxi with his paw and said, "Because I haven't fully developed yet."
Mu Wenxi thought it was his own body odor that bothered Qin Lun, so he nodded and immediately put him down: "Wait for me, I'll take a shower and then we can talk properly."
Mu Wenxi finished the battle in five minutes and sat in bed, gesturing for Qin Lun to come over. Qin Lun jumped onto the bed and stood half a meter away from her.
Mu Wenxi: "Can you talk because you've evolved?"
Qin Lun: "Yes."
Mu Wenxi: "Then how long will it take you to become human again?"
Qin Lun looked at Mu Wenxi with his emerald green eyes, and Mu Wenxi saw disappointment in his eyes.
Qin Lun shook his head: "I am no longer human. If I could become human again, it would only be one of my forms."
Mu Wenxi pulled Qin Lun close: "It's okay, no matter what you become, I will never give up on you. Do you remember what I told you in the lab?"
Qin Lun nodded: "I've always had my memories."
Mu Wenxi: "I thought you didn't remember."
Qin Lun noticed that Mu Wenxi's ears had turned red: "Although my condition was unstable at that time, I remember what others said. You said you came to save me and asked if I wanted to come with you."
Mu Wenxi touched his ear: "Yes, I..."
Qin Lun: "You still say you're not from this world, that you're my kind who came here for me."
Mu Wenxi nodded. Although the person in front of her was the mutated Qin Lun, she didn't know why she didn't have the courage to look at him: "Mm."
Qin Lun stretched out his paw and placed it on Mu Wenxi's knee: "You still say you came here for revenge."
Mu Wenxi: "It's good that you haven't forgotten, but I still hope you have forgotten, that you don't remember everything they did to you."
Qin Lun: "At first, when I fused with the lower-level genes, I really couldn't remember anything. But after I fused with the S-level genes, I remembered everything from the past."
He glanced out the window and revealed sharp claws: "I will never forget what they did to me, and I will personally take revenge and kill them."
Mu Wenxi: "I'll be with you."
Qin Lun nestled next to Mu Wenxi and said, "Okay."
