Although Gu An was fighting zombies, his mind was on Jiang Ruan.
He always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot rang out behind him. He had been so focused on Jiang Ruan that he had overlooked the zombies that were quietly running up behind him.
Gu An turned his head and saw Hua Yi holding a machine gun and aiming it in their direction. "Hua Yi? You're back!"
Hua Yi waved her hand and laughed, "This is the first time I've ever seen you so energetic at a time like this. I really regret not having a camera to record it. This is unprecedented!"
Gu An smiled, not paying much attention to it, and once again threw himself into the battle.
Half an hour later...
"Phew... It's finally over. I'm exhausted. Dongyang, get me some water, I'm dying of thirst!" Zhang Yang plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
"Okay, I'll go get it."
Dongyang resumed his previous tone, and Gu An merely glanced at him without saying anything.
"Brother Hua Yi, your marksmanship is amazing! I'd like to ask you, do you take on apprentices? Do you think someone like me is good enough?" Zhang Yang hadn't forgotten his own thoughts, and he had already rehearsed his first words to Hua Yi in his mind for a long time.
"Yes, I will accept them, but I only accept women; men are out of the question."
Hua Yi glanced at An Xia, whose face was slightly flushed, and felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, like a cat scratching her.
"Ah... a woman, does that mean I have no chance? Heavens!" Zhang Yang sighed to the heavens.
“You can’t say that. If you’re determined to have sex reassignment surgery, I might consider it,” Hua Yi said earnestly.
Just listening to his words, Zhang Yang felt a chill run down his spine, and the idea of becoming his apprentice was immediately abandoned.
He waved his hand and said, "No need for that, I appreciate your kindness."
Hua Yi walked over to An Xia with a light laugh, ignoring the little incident that had just occurred.
Anxia's eyes were a little wet, and she didn't know why.
After her younger sister Anchun died, she felt that the days were long and lonely, and apart from Jiang Ruan, she didn't have a single confidant.
Fortunately, Hua Yi was there. After only a few days of getting to know each other, she felt like she had known her for a long time.
"What a beautiful gun, it's even automatic! Do you know how to fire it? If not, I can teach you!" Hua Yi noticed the gun tucked into her waistband as soon as she walked up to her.
"Ah, this was a gift from Ruan Ruan, and I'm not really sure how to use it. But could I use it?"
An Xia used to be a fiery and impulsive man, but now he's acting all coy. Jiang Ruan shook her head and pulled Gu An aside, leaving the two of them cuddling there.
“I know why I’m so mentally exhausted and why my powers are unstable. There’s a reason for all of this,” Jiang Ruan said as soon as they reached an open space.
"Oh, what's the reason? I'm curious too!"
Gu An was constantly worried and even consulted with the headquarters hospital.
The reason for the result is unclear due to the limited number of parameters.
“It’s because of you, little one.”
"Baby? Is it related to him?"
"That's right. I haven't seen him much these past few days, and I'm worried about him. Every time I think about it, my powers become a little unstable. I just asked Xiaoyu during a break from healing."
"I feel panicked because my son isn't here. Besides, our powers are linked; one benefits while the other suffers."
Jiang Ruan felt increasingly uneasy as she spoke.
"So, there's a problem with Zai Zai?" Gu An's face immediately conjured up the image of Zai Zai's adorable appearance, thinking that he was now over a year old and just at the age where he would start calling out to people.
“That’s right, so I need to call home now. I need to see my baby. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease, and I’m afraid something bad might happen.”
"Okay, is there anything I can do?" Gu An immediately understood why Jiang Ruan had called him over; she needed him to cover for her.
She doesn't want too many people to know her strength yet, so she doesn't always use her full power.
The only exception is healing spells.
"Find a room for me and tell them I'm a little tired and I'll be back in about an hour."
"I understand. Go ahead, I'll make the arrangements." Gu An knew Jiang Ruan had this ability, but he had never seen it.
Seeing Gu An's quick agreement, Jiang Ruan's heart stirred, and she grabbed his hand, "Thank you, you've always helped me like this before, and you still will now."
Gu An gently stroked her nose with his index finger, a warm smile on his face. "Silly girl, go on, let me see your potential."
Jiang Ruan nodded firmly.
Then, Gu An led Jiang Ruan away from everyone's sight, just as they had agreed, saying they were going to rest and no one should disturb them.
Then, Jiang Ruan closed her eyes, clenched her hands, and silently chanted, "Teleport!"
Sure enough, she was teleported to the front of the mall shortly afterward.
She looked at herself in surprise, completely unharmed. "It's done? I thought this was just my imagination, but I didn't expect to be able to travel such a long distance. It seems that spatial abilities are not just about storage, but also about teleportation. I guess the range increases with each upgrade."
With this realization, she became even more satisfied with her own space.
"23..." Jiang Ruan easily cracked the code on the door and entered without anyone being prepared.
"Ruan Ruan? Is that you..." Jiang's father was mopping the floor, Jiang's mother was sewing clothes, and Wan Mei was lying on the sofa taking a nap.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back! What's up? Where are Li Ming's parents?"
Everything is strange!
"They said the food was a bit bland today, and they need to drink more water and rest to recover. Plus, they're recovering from a serious illness, so they're bound to have some quirks," Jiang's mother sighed.
She didn't want to say it, but she couldn't help it.
"Then what about Wan Mei?" Jiang Ruan was angry for a moment.
"She's the one who works the hardest. Li Ming's parents love her cooking and insist on preparing meals that are nutritionally balanced. If she doesn't cook, they threaten to go on a hunger strike. Wan Mei is worn out by them."
"We just finished a meal, and the couple went upstairs to sleep. Wanmei was exhausted, so we let her rest for a while, and your dad and I will do the rest."
Jiang Ruan felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was about to explode with anger.
"Where did the baby go?"
She ignored the couple. Her most beloved baby was still not moving. Surely it couldn't be sleeping again.
"He... Ah... Husband, tell me, I'm a little sad, I can't say it well." Jiang's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a sobbing voice.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Zai Zai has been sent to the hospital for treatment. He's very ill. The hospital told us to send him there immediately, so a few of us drove over there."
I don't know how things are now; I haven't called to inquire yet.
Jiang's father felt somewhat heavy-hearted; he, as the maternal grandfather, couldn't bear to see his grandson suffer.
"What? You took the baby to the hospital?"
