Chapter 37 Not all women are like dodder.



Once she was sure Xie Yin wouldn't eat, Jiang Shuyin didn't stand on ceremony and enjoyed the pot of beef all by herself.

After the stir-fried dishes were finished, Li Yao brought over a plate of shredded potatoes: "I know you love this. Our captain made it himself. You don't usually get this kind of treatment."

Jiang Shu nodded to He Bing, who was looking over.

After a midday rest, the elite teams from the North and South bases still hadn't arrived. He Bing and Yang Kang couldn't wait any longer, so they assembled their team and set off for the search and rescue.

Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin explored in different directions. After a while, Xie Yin suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a long pause, he finally looked at her face: "Something came up, I have to go out for a bit."

Before Jiang Shuyin could react, Xie Yin vanished from the spot.

A sudden transformation? Oh, I remember now, he's not human.

Jiang Shuyin didn't know why he stopped pretending in front of her, but she became even more curious about his identity. Being able to disappear into thin air was far superior to these tentacle monsters.

Xie Yin's departure stirred the tentacles hidden in the corner. They touched around Jiang Shuyin, scrutinizing this weak human. Not sensing any dangerous or terrifying aura, they stretched out one tentacle after another to probe.

Jiang Shuyin was surrounded. She hid in a room, ran into someone's kitchen, and cut off the tentacles that were reaching out.

wave—

cut--

She mechanically performed these two movements thousands of times, pushing her body to its limits. Her muscles and blood vessels were filled with a hidden power. After passing that threshold, she no longer felt tired. Her consciousness and body gradually separated, and her muscles gradually developed memory.

The tentacles on the ground turned into water, submerging Jiang Shuyin up to her knees.

There were voices downstairs, but not He Bing's group. They were surprised by the monsters gathered there and looked towards where she was.

"Treatment." Jiang Shuyin's ruptured internal organs were repaired.

The cooldown time for healing is faster than that for illusion, so she should be able to hold out until Qingwu finishes devouring the monsters' cores one by one.

The arrival of people downstairs diverted some of the tentacles' attacks, but the number of tentacles on Jiang Shuyin's side still showed no signs of decreasing.

The sunlight outside the window went from bright to dusk, and then to darkness. This area continued to fight, and Jiang Shuyin launched her third treatment to repair the overcompressed spine. Bright moonlight streamed in from the window.

Jiang Shuyin no longer needs light; her brain can discern the direction of the tentacles by observing the fluctuations in the air, making her knife-wielding movements extremely simple.

Later, when the tentacles decreased, she followed them all the way to the main body, peeled off the crystal core inside piece by piece, and stuffed it into Black Plum's hand. The crystal core looked bigger than her head, and the little guy hugged it and gnawed on it happily.

Qingwu, having eaten her fill, arrived late, just as Jiang Shuyin was finishing her second one. She even had her eye on the crystal core of the tentacle monster in Jiang Shuyin's hand, but Jiang Shuyin stopped her: "This is for your younger sister. You've already eaten a lot. Go and rest in the hat for a while."

The Qingwu, which had swelled to the size of a human, desperately condensed itself into a fist-sized black ball and rolled into the hat. Jiang Shu felt its weight and a sense of pressure on her neck.

Taking out the second crystal core, Jiang Shuyin walked with leaden steps to the sofa in the house. She sat down and found that her body was falling backward uncontrollably. Qingwu popped out of her hat and rolled into her front pocket, close to her body.

After relaxing, the spine no longer had any support, and the whole body started to rebel, with every part aching and no longer complaining.

"Black Plum, give me some treatment."

The adorable baby, which was making clicking noises, crawled out of the front pocket, mustered its strength, and released a green light the size of a firefly.

Jiang Shu watched helplessly as the ray of light sank into her body, but after a moment, it still didn't splash up a single drop of water.

"Try again."

Black Plum, her eyes bloodshot, finally summoned specks of fluorescent light from her body, which coalesced into a fist-sized object and hurled at Jiang Shuyin.

The green light entered again, and Jiang Shuyin, just like last time, carefully sensed it.

However, the next second, my body felt as comfortable as if I were rising vertically from the ground to the clouds, and a pair of warm hands soothed every pain.

In places unseen, the blood was filtered through green light, turning red blood cells pink and making blood vessels more elastic and resilient. In places visible, yellowish-black milky filth oozed from the skin, and Jiang Shu smelled a strong stench.

It emanates from within oneself.

Her clothes were all dirty, and Qingwu and Heimei were still on her body. Couldn't they smell it?

Only after her body returned to the ground from the clouds did Jiang Shuyin regain control of her body. She turned on the shower in the bathroom and stood under it to wash the dirt off her body.

The light is broken, and it's dark around us.

Some people were awakened by the sound of water and formed a team to reach the door. Jiang Shuyin was unaware that the light in the entrance hall was working.

When the light was turned on, she turned her head and met the gaze of a group of people.

Fortunately, she was wearing clothes.

"go out."

Chen Xi suddenly turned around and pushed his teammates out: "Pry open the door and go sleep on the other side."

Helping each other out, the team that came downstairs to help today is the missing elite team from the Northern Base. They came out of the underground parking garage and heard the commotion, so they rushed over to help.

At the time, people were speculating: "Who is this? Which powerful figure is so feared by so many monsters that they want to join forces to kill him?"

Shen Xi calmly analyzed: "While they're busy, we should eliminate them one by one."

The longer they stayed, the more they admired the guy upstairs who was being attacked by a group of monsters. When they heard the sound of water, they couldn't help but urge the captain to lead the way up to take a look.

The result? The result? It turned out to be the former "Milk Tea Sister".

Jiang Shuyin: ......

"Indeed, the people we need to be most careful of in the apocalypse are women and children traveling alone. As a vulnerable group, the fact that they can get out of there means they must have some amazing abilities."

Why bother with cleanliness when doing missions? Chen Xi and his teammates slept on the ground fully clothed, listening to them talk about how powerful and beautiful the woman they had just seen was, gradually changing their stereotypes about women.

Not all women are like dodder.

Shen Xi smiled slightly; he liked girls who were his equals.

His hearing was enhanced by his supernatural abilities. The girl hadn't finished washing yet; water droplets fell to the floor, flowing over her body, from her long, snow-white neck to her delicate, beautiful collarbone, her graceful curves, and her slender waist...

As Chen Xi's breathing became heavier, surrounded by people, he could only restrain his thoughts and change his posture to block the guy standing there with his head held high.

The sound of water suddenly stopped, and Chen Xi couldn't help but strain to listen, his bare feet touching the floor.

She walked to the sofa and dried her wet hair.

The old residential area has a recessed structure, and at this point, they are separated by only one wall.

Chen Xi turned his gaze to the wall covered with photo albums.
