Chapter 167 Dingjiu
The old woman stumbled to Pu Zhi's side, panting and crying, "Xiaojiu has supernatural powers. She was injured while protecting us from the zombies. We don't have medicine, and she has been running a fever since she slept.
I beg you, doctor. I will work like a slave for you in this life and the next. Please save this child!"
As she spoke, the woman was about to kneel down, and the others followed suit. Pu Zhi waved her hand, and an invisible force lifted them up.
At this time, the four men hurried forward, taking off their backpacks as they walked: "We have medicine! We have medicine! We found the medicine this time!"
Pu Zhi stopped the backpack the man was trying to stuff at her and said calmly, "No, I can save him."
The owner of the card named Xiaojiu not only has problems with fever, but also malnutrition, which leads to low resistance.
The wound on her waist had been inflamed and filled with pus because it had not been properly treated. It gave off a strong smell of decay. The rotten flesh even showed signs of wriggling. Looking through the wound, one could even vaguely see the intestines and internal organs inside.
And on her right rib, there was a square-shaped mark.
Pu Zhi summoned Qingyin, and the small creature wrapped itself around her wrist. It stretched out a vine and gently placed it on the girl's forehead. Soon the girl's body temperature dropped.
Then Qingyin placed the branch on the horrible wound on her belly. A faint green light covered the wound. The good flesh grew rapidly, slowly squeezing out the rotten flesh, and the maggots inside were also driven out.
The entire treatment process took only one minute, and there was no trace of the horrific wound on the girl's stomach. The girl, who was originally dying, also began to breathe more steadily.
The man who was still trying to get the medicine was stunned. This must be a healing ability, probably the same as his strength ability...
The old woman stretched out her trembling hand to the girl's forehead, and it seemed that it was really not hot anymore.
The girl was awakened, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the familiar face and a strange girl who made her feel very close. She was stunned.
Isn't he already dead...
"How much is the square?" Pu Zhi asked.
The girl didn't react and answered directly in a daze: "2."
Pu Zhi frowned. Diamond 2 was ranked sixth in strength, how could he end up like this?
Everyone has heard Xiaojiu say that she is Diamond 2, and the girl who saved people also knows it. Could she be the same as Xiaojiu?
Pu Zhi then asked, "What talent?"
The girl's eyes were blank for a second, then she blushed and said, "I remembered it wrongly. I have already fallen to the 7 of diamonds. My talent is puppet control."
She just looked inward at her sea of consciousness and found that the cards inside had changed from the 2 of spades to the 7 of diamonds. Although Pu Zhi asked about diamonds, she knew which card she was asking about, and subconsciously reported her previous ranking.
Pu Zhi heard about her talent and thought it must be very powerful. She felt the energy fluctuations on her body and asked, "You are only level three?"
Now most of the zombies are level three or four, and her level is rising too slowly.
The girl nodded slowly, she knew her current level was too low.
Pu Zhi looked into her eyes and read her memory directly.
She came from a happy family and had just graduated from high school. She had always been well protected by her parents and was a weak little girl.
As a result, her parents died on the night of the zombie outbreak. She was chosen on the second day of the apocalypse and gained the talent for puppeteering.
But she was too timid to use it, and didn't know how to use it. She even suspected it was fake. If she hadn't accidentally discovered that she had a space of dozens of cubic meters, she wouldn't have believed that the talent was real.
At that time, everyone's talent was at level one, and her ranking was indeed at spade 2.
But later on, she was too weak and hid wherever she could. She also had a lot of food stored at home, and she barely survived the first three months with the food stored. At that time, there was no news broadcast yet, and she didn't even know that zombies had crystal cores in their brains. Her talents needed to be upgraded, so she stayed at home.
As a result, she remained stuck at level one. Not only did her ranking drop, but she couldn't even defeat zombies.
Later, she slowly made friends and brought everyone to live here. Later, several people joined her. She felt that she could not live in vain any longer, so she started to look for supplies with her friends.
It wasn't until another psychic partner joined her that she learned about the existence of upgrading.
Later, her level began to increase, but the zombies increased their level faster than her. The streets were full of zombies at the same level as her, and half of them were higher than her. She could only hide and dodge with her companions like rats crossing the street.
Half a month ago, a level 4 zombie discovered them. In order to protect everyone, she forcibly controlled five or six level 3 zombies. Although she drove away the level 4 zombie, she was scratched in the stomach by flying debris during the fight and has been bedridden ever since.
Pu Zhi thought about it, and an intermediate contract card disappeared quietly. It would be best if she could add such a useful talent to the new base.
Although the two of them had a contract, Pu Zhi, as the main party, was under deliberate control and could not detect any abnormalities.
"My name is Pu Zhi, 8 of Diamonds. I will take you to the new base. The zombies there have been cleared out. There are many people with special abilities and food. As long as you work hard or farm, you can have enough food to eat."
When they heard that Pu Zhi was going to take them to the new base, everyone in the room was excited. Could they really go?
"I can help you and another psychic reach level five, but the prerequisite is that you must be loyal to the new base in the future. I won't force you to do anything, but you need to stand by the new base. Can you do that?" Pu Zhi looked at the girl.
The girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she looked at the skinny man who looked like a nobody. She nodded slowly but forcefully: "Okay, I promise you, my name is Ding Jiu."
After getting her consent, Princess Pu Zhi picked her up. She was so light that only the weight of bones and internal organs remained on her body, which was estimated to be only more than 60 kilograms in total.
The sudden lift made Ding Jiu scream out in surprise, and his hands unconsciously wrapped around Pu Zhi's neck. In the quiet corridor, he could only hear Pu Zhi's steady and powerful heartbeat and footsteps. He felt her well-proportioned and strong arms and the faint fragrance on her body. For some reason, Ding Jiu's ears felt a little hot in the dark.
Ding Jiu lowered his head. He was too dirty. Would he stain her clothes?
Pu Zhi walked out quickly: "Everyone go outside."
It's too dark and stuffy in here. You'll get sick even if you're healthy.
Everyone supported each other and walked slowly. When they came out after being underground for a long time, the strong light outside made it impossible for them to open their eyes.
Pu Zhi did not choose the outermost place, but the first floor of a relatively intact building.
She gently put down the Dingjiu. Now, looking from outside, the complexions of these people were even more sallow, and their hair was almost no longer black, but the yellow color of malnutrition.
Pu Zhi took out buns and soy milk from the space. They had been hungry for a long time and their bodies would not be able to bear eating too greasy food all of a sudden.
Everyone was given a bun and they couldn’t wait to devour it. Even though the soy milk was not hot, they finished it in just a few sips.
My stomach isn't full, but I feel a satisfying fullness for some reason.
Ding Jiu sat on the ground, tilting his head back and drinking soy milk in small sips. Just now in the basement, he could only see the faint outline of Pu Zhi, but now seeing her outside, he realized how beautiful she was.
And it was that powerful 8 of Diamonds that saved himself.
