The other three also understood that in a team, healing-type ability users need more protection from the team, so they had no objection to this arrangement.
“Everyone, eat and get some rest. I’ll be on watch for the first half of the night, and you’ll be on watch for the second half, Sheng. He Dali won’t be on watch because he has to drive during the day.”
Ji Xueyi looked at Gu Zhongsheng: "Is this arrangement acceptable?"
"Can."
Lin Zhenzhen was pulled into the car by Medusa, while the others sat or lay down outside.
Gu Zhongsheng leaned against the tree trunk, the flickering firelight illuminating his face, revealing a bewitching yet unreal color.
The night was eerily quiet; even though we were in the wild, we couldn't hear a single insect chirping.
Lin Zhenzhen wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the teeth marks on her neck were slightly warm.
The terrifying fangs that Gu Zhongsheng deliberately revealed, and that meaningful sentence flashed through his mind again.
Gu Zhongsheng's ability to see through her disguise was foreshadowed, so Lin Zhenzhen was not surprised at all.
How could he know what he was dreaming about?
[Because he is an all-around ability user, he naturally also possesses mental abilities.]
The long-dormant system suddenly reappeared to provide some information: "The human brain is a very complex and wondrous part, which is why mental abilities have the most diverse evolutionary paths among all ability users."
[As psychic ability users, Xing Mengman's ability is to soothe, Ji Xueyi's is to suggest, while Gu Zhongsheng's is to enter dreams.]
Entering my dreams? Does that mean I might be harassed by him every time I try to sleep?
Of course not. There's a cooldown period for entering dreams. If it happens too frequently, it can disrupt the nervous systems of both of you.
The system chuckled slyly: "Besides, can't you bite him in your dreams too?"
I see.
What about Gu Bosheng? What are his abilities?
He's also an all-elemental ability user, so he should also have mental abilities.
[He...] The system updated, [He's a bit special; you'll find out later.]
Unable to get a clear answer, Lin Zhenzhen could only force herself to escape the high-pressure environment and fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by a strange wail.
Lin Zhenzhen looked out the window. Ji Xueyi and He Dali were still in the same place, but Gu Zhongsheng was nowhere to be found.
There was a rustling sound coming from the bushes not far away. Lin Zhenzhen opened the car door and quietly walked over.
A strong, pungent smell of blood wafted over.
Lin Zhenzhen saw Gu Zhongsheng's back. At his feet lay a huge mutated reindeer, which had now become a cold corpse.
The mutation only increases the size of the reindeer, without changing its herbivorous nature.
Therefore, Gu Zhongsheng was not defending himself, but hunting.
He clearly knew Lin Zhenzhen was behind him, but he still slowly wiped the blood off his hands.
Unlike Gu Bosheng, who always suppressed his anger, Gu Zhongsheng exuded an unadorned murderous aura.
He held a white silk scarf and began wiping his fingers upwards in small circles, starting from his index finger, as if he couldn't bear to leave even a trace of dirt on his hands.
Even a zombie king has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness? Unbelievable and unheard of.
He asked as he wiped.
"Did I make too much noise and wake you up?" Gu Zhongsheng's voice changed, becoming as deep as when they first met.
His movements were not loud, but they weren't exactly gentle either.
However, the other three high-level ability users were still fast asleep, completely unaware of what had happened.
What did you do to them?
Gu Zhongsheng turned his head and took off the black cloth, revealing a pair of golden pupils that shone like flames.
"I helped them a little bit to make them sleep a little more comfortably."
Lin Zhenzhen frowned. It seemed that he had also used mental abilities on these people.
“Your original voice was very beautiful.” Gu Zhongsheng grinned, revealing two sharp teeth that stood out against the night sky. “I liked it very much.”
Lin Zhenzhen looked at him coldly: "I won't say thank you for the compliment."
"Why?"
"..." Lin Zhenzhen was speechless. "Because I'm not that polite."
Gu Zhongsheng raised an eyebrow, lowered his eyes as if he were thinking about something, then squatted down, plunged his hand into the body of the mutated reindeer, and dug out its heart.
He handed the still slightly pulsating organ to Lin Zhenzhen: "Are you hungry? Is that why you're in a bad mood?"
Lin Zhenzhen took a step back, her face showing discomfort.
"I don't need this."
Gu Zhongsheng withdrew his hand, looking wistful: "Your temper has gotten worse. You never treated me like this before."
He tilted his head back: "Back then, you would hug my neck, smile at me, and let me touch your tail."
Lin Zhenzhen interrupted him: "Why are you here?"
Gu Zhongsheng chuckled: "And you, why are you here?"
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm going to save Gu Bosheng."
“But you said in the bar that you came for me.” Gu Zhongsheng stepped forward slowly and ripped off the artificial skin from her face.
"What should I call you? Fox, or Karl? You've lied so much that you can't even tell the truth anymore, can you?"
Lin Zhenzhen looked up, her alluring fox-like eyes shimmering in the night.
"How can you not tell the difference?" She smiled. "I came to find you, and you went to save him, isn't that the same as me going to save him?"
"Heh." A slight smile appeared on Gu Zhongsheng's lips. "Why do you think I would actually be kind enough to save him?"
Lin Zhenzhen looked directly into his eyes: "Because he is your brother."
Although the system, that bastard, kept her in suspense and refused to give her any detailed information about Gu Zhongsheng.
But Lin Zhenzhen still managed to guess the relationship between the two from the clues.
"Bo Zhong" refers to the eldest and second eldest brothers.
The two brothers underwent genetic experiments together. One became the renowned and respected General Gu; the other went into hiding and became the fearsome Zombie King.
Gu Zhongsheng's expression became extremely strange.
"Did Gu Bosheng tell you?"
"That's right."
"You're lying." Gu Zhongsheng lowered his eyelids, concealing all the emotions in his eyes. "He couldn't possibly say something like that."
“But Gu Bosheng seems to really like you.” Gu Zhongsheng leaned down and took a deep sniff of her neck.
His tone was devoid of emotion: "I can smell his scent here."
Lin Zhenzhen turned her head, her lips barely touching the tip of his nose.
"Don't you like it?" She curled her lips into a smile. "If we're talking about biting, you were the one who bit first."
Gu Zhongsheng touched the teeth mark: "So you are the culprit who made Gu Bosheng lose control."
Lin Zhenzhen stepped back, avoiding his movement.
"Because of this, I must save him."
Gu Zhongsheng stood there looking at her, the light in the depths of his golden pupils flickering.
"You can't save him, and neither can I."
He raised his eyes, his expression earnest: "But I can guarantee that I will make his death more comfortable."
