"Xiao An, are you going out?" Song Guizhou slowly sat down next to Shi Xi, frowning as he said, "It's dangerous outside. What if we encounter zombies..."
Judging from his tense tone, he seemed very worried that Shi Xi might be in danger.
Shi Xi glanced at Song Guizhou and felt that his actions were purely indulgent.
In this apocalyptic world, how could he possibly never encounter zombies?
After considering it for a moment, Shi Xi patted his shoulder reassuringly and said, "It's just leading the way, nothing will happen."
"Xiao An."
Song Guizhou looked at Shi Xi, his face still showing some worry.
"Let's do it together."
As the protagonist, Song Guizhou is naturally good-looking, has a gentle temperament, and is a healing-type ability user, making him very popular at the Wind Taming Base.
Whether he goes out or stays at the base, he can almost always choose for himself.
Unlike other superhumans, they do not need to report before leaving the base.
"Of course," Shi Xi said. "Do you think I could live without you?"
For Shi Xi, Song Guizhou was like a healer in a game; she relied entirely on him for healing.
So he really thinks so.
—After all, he died shortly after leaving Song Guizhou.
Song Guizhou seemed pleased by Shi Xi's words, and his expression immediately relaxed.
She said in a soft voice, "Me too."
Because the sound was too soft, Shi Xi didn't hear it.
"Hmm?" He looked at Song Guizhou with a puzzled expression.
As if remembering something, the latter leaned closer to Shi Xi's ear with a somewhat expectant expression and whispered, "Xiao An, you haven't had your treatment today yet."
"Didn't you already take your medicine?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled. "Do you still need treatment?"
He felt the medicine was quite effective, and that it wouldn't matter if Song Guizhou didn't receive treatment.
Upon hearing this, Song Guizhou's expression became subtle, and then he explained, "Touching it makes it even more effective."
Shi Xi didn't mind, raised her hand, and said, "Go ahead and touch me."
With Shi Xi's permission, Song Guizhou smiled, placed his palm against Shi Xi's palm, and then interlocked their fingers.
Shi Xi frowned and looked at him, "Does it really have to be this way?"
"Mm." Song Guizhou said casually, "This is more convenient."
Shi Xi thought for a moment, but in the end, she didn't say anything more.
Never mind, at least this time there were no kisses.
After clenching her fists for more than ten minutes, Shi Xi pulled her hands away, stood up, yawned, and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Shi Xi looked at the man who was still sitting on the sofa.
"I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep first," Song Guizhou shook his head and said to Shi Xi.
Hearing him say that, Shi Xi stopped talking and turned to go upstairs.
Song Guizhou sat on the sofa for a while before finally standing up and going into the bathroom.
...
Si Beiling raised his eyes and glanced at the squad leader in front of him.
The squad leader's surname is Zheng. He was Yu Lao's former subordinate. After Si Beiling took over the Wind Training Base, he did not use any new people, but continued to use him.
"Okay, I understand."
Captain Zheng: "..."
I know you're strong, but this is your reaction to Xue Yushang breaking through to the third-tier lightning element?
The reason why lightning-type ability users find it difficult to break through is that once they succeed, their strength is much greater than that of other ability users.
Otherwise, Xue and Shang wouldn't have been stuck at level two for so long.
He looked at Si Beiling, "Aren't we going to make any preparations?"
Ultimately, Si Beiling's foundation was not stable when he first arrived. Although the Wind Taming Base seemed harmonious on the surface, many people were actually eager to cause trouble... For fame and fortune, plus a bunch of people outside who loved to watch the drama unfold, if they weren't outmatched, it would probably have been in complete chaos long ago.
"Prepare what?" Si Beiling asked in return.
In the apocalypse, only the fittest survive. Superpowered individuals usually fight by surprise. Those who like to prepare are usually just troublemakers with little strength who like to court death.
He didn't take these people seriously.
His ability to survive alone in the apocalypse, without relying on any of the major bases in the north or south, speaks volumes about his strength.
People at other bases probably can't understand how the talent they tried so hard to keep suddenly became the leader of the Wind Taming Base.
Captain Zheng fell silent.
It seems there's really nothing to prepare.
...
With the main storyline progressing smoothly, Shi Xi lay in bed and began to sort out the side quests.
The Zombie King never appeared from beginning to end; there are two possibilities:
Either it doesn't exist at all.
Or perhaps he was actually always there, just hiding it very well, so his identity wasn't revealed until the very end.
Since the cold medicine has issued a mission to find the zombie king, the first possibility can be ruled out.
The latter is too broad a scope and difficult to judge.
Shi Xi pondered for a moment, then thought of a question.
Why did he end up going mad and leaving the Wind Taming Base?
Did he discover something or try to find something, only to be killed by a zombie?
If that's the logic, he doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to wait for the plot to unfold.
Isn't this side quest way too easy?
Is this possible?
The fennec fox lying on the plus-sized bed in Shi Xi's mind sensed Shi Xi's thoughts, yawned, and explained:
The difficulty of the side quests varies; they may be very simple or very difficult. But regardless of the difficulty, you only have one chance to answer, so please be careful, Shi Xi!
\"knew.\"
It seems we need to observe further before drawing any conclusions.
Shi Xi thought about it and then fell asleep.
...
The next morning, Shi Xi finished breakfast and went out when she saw Si Beiling, who was also leaving home.
Shi Xi glanced at Song Guizhou.
What a coincidence!
Si Beiling's gaze lingered on Shi Xi's lips, which were still moist as if she had just drunk water.
A few seconds later, he looked away, greeted the two of them, and slowly stood beside Shi Xi.
"This mission is a bit dangerous," he said, looking at the two of them. "It involves going out to find supplies."
"The area within a fifty-mile radius has already been searched."
"We need to expand the search area. The base only has enough supplies for one week, which is a bit tight, so it's very likely that it will take more than one day."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi looked at Song Guizhou.
Si Beiling was puzzled.
"Don't worry, Xiao An, I carry the medicine with me at all times," Song Guizhou whispered.
Si Beiling remained silent. He only knew that Shi Xi was weak, but he did not know that Shi Xi also needed to take medicine.
Song Guizhou was in charge of taking care of Shi Xi, so not many people actually knew that Shi Xi was taking medicine.
Just then, the group arrived at the car.
It was the same car as last time, and the driver was already waiting in the car.
Before Si Beiling could speak, Shi Xi climbed into the passenger seat. "I'll lead the way."
"What medicine did you take?" Si Beiling asked, looking at Song Guizhou. "I can go find it after you finish taking it."
Song Guizhou lowered his eyes, glanced at Shi Xi who had already gotten into the car, and finally said to Si Beiling, "No need, only I know how to make the secret medicine." Then he opened the car door and got in.
Looking at Shi Xi's expression, Si Beiling got into the car, remained silent for a while, and finally said, "Let's go and come back quickly, as soon as possible."
