Shen Jing didn't listen any further.
If that group continues to linger here, it's only a matter of time before they attract the zombie horde.
Shen Jing turned around and left the shop through the back door, taking out a cup of spiritual spring water and drinking it slowly as she walked.
After finishing a cup of spiritual spring water, I happened to run into several level 2 zombies.
It seems the high-level zombies came because they smelled human scent!
It's not exactly a good thing, but it saves her from wasting her mental energy on supernatural ability detection.
Shen Jing immediately used her supernatural power to stop the zombie in place. As soon as she took out the gun from her backpack, she saw Gu Yan standing behind the zombie.
There was a lot of blood on Gu Yan's hairline and shoulders.
The temperature has risen rapidly, and even if Gu Yan only gets a little blood on his body, the blood will quickly start to smell bad.
Shen Jing frowned upon seeing this; she could roughly guess why Gu Yan had come to find her.
After shooting several zombies in the head with her gun, Shen Jing walked towards Gu Yan.
"Come on, let's go to this shop and change into a new set of clothes." Shen Jing tugged at Gu Yan's arm, and when she found that he didn't resist, she pulled him directly into the clothing store they had just been in. "Here are your water and clothes. Hurry up and change into them."
"Okay." Gu Yan replied with only one word.
Shen Jing sat at the cashier's counter, glancing at the bathroom room out of the corner of her eye.
She knew that Gu Yan didn't like physical contact with others, and he would never let others arrange things for him.
Just now... when he said yes, he seemed relatively calm?
After waiting for a while, Gu Yan came out of the bathroom. "You encountered leeches?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jing nodded, her expression filled with disgust, and said, "I'd rather kill a hundred zombies than see leeches again."
The mental barrier remained activated. Shen Jing lazily counted the number of zombies attracted, anticipating a bountiful harvest. She spoke softly through the glass, mainly to avoid any contact with the group outside.
Shen Jing recounted what had just happened in a low voice, and then looked at Gu Yan with a puzzled expression.
She asked tentatively, "When you went to the TV tower just now, did you also encounter those high-level leeches?"
Gu Yan stared intently into her eyes and asked, "Are you scared?"
For some reason, Shen Jing actually heard a sense of concern in his words.
Finally, it's no longer just lighthearted mockery.
Shen Jing stood up expectantly and placed the second-tier crystal core she had just obtained on the table.
Gu Yan's gaze swept over the few crystal cores, and he looked at her, puzzled. "Only Tier 2?"
After saying this, Gu Yan took out several 7th-tier crystal cores.
"A 7th-order crystal core!"
We found so many 7th-order crystal nuclei!
Shen Jing looked on with envy, but the main point now was that she felt Gu Yan seemed to be showing signs of regaining his memories.
"Gu Yan, has something come to mind?"
Gu Yan reached out and handed over the crystal core. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Shen Jing grabbed it first. "Why did you come to find me? Just to change clothes? Now you're giving me the crystal core, is that payment again?"
Faced with Shen Jing's three probing questions, Gu Yan's expression only grew colder, but he did not let go of her hand.
His expression suggested he was stumped by a few questions.
After absorbing the energy of several high-level zombies and mutated animals, Gu Yan, for some reason, left behind the last few crystal cores.
At that moment, as he looked at the crystal core in his palm, what appeared in his mind was Shen Jing's smiling face.
When he thought of her, he actually smiled a little, quite pleased with himself.
The mutated vine was so frightened that it quickly retreated into the palm of his hand, probably quite frightened by Gu Yan's smile.
Looking at their clasped hands, Shen Jing felt a little unreal.
"Do you... really remember?"
Gu Yan chuckled and shook off her hand. "No."
Shen Jing felt he was lying; his expression clearly said: I won't tell.
That is, I can recall some memories, more or less!
Back then, she had no memories of her past life, and she gradually recalled them. Therefore, Shen Jing didn't believe Gu Yan's words at all, but she knew that saying one thing and meaning another was a standard trait of powerful people, so she couldn't press him for answers.
As long as he doesn't suddenly become murderous at the slightest provocation, it's fine.
Shen Jing first put the crystal cores she had obtained back into her spatial storage, then pointed to the few 7th-tier ones and said, "Your metal-type ability also needs to be upgraded, right?"
“I don’t need the crystal core.” He absorbed that energy only to supply it to the Earth’s core.
"Could it be that you've really reached the maximum level?" Shen Jing's thoughts had gone astray.
Shen Jing looked at him in shock, but she wasn't particularly jealous.
Anyway, her special ability couldn't detect his level.
Moreover, he didn't even know that his crystal core existed in his heart.
In front of Gu Yan, Shen Jing took out a bag containing crystal cores from her spatial storage, including a metal crystal core.
"This is what you got from the hotel in City C. It's been returned to its rightful owner."
Although he said that reaching the maximum level does not require crystal cores, it is an undeniable fact that he constantly consumes his own energy.
What's been consumed should be replenished, right?
This means that even if it's not for advancing in rank, Gu Yan would still need to absorb energy.
Shen Jing was right.
When Gu Yan picked up the metallic crystal core, he thought he would recall some memories, but nothing came of it. It seems that only by continuously consuming those high-level mutants to gain energy can he release the imprisoned memories.
A ray of sunlight shone in and cast a golden halo on the metallic crystal core.
The two of them turned to look outside at the same time.
Even indoors, without direct exposure to the sun, the high temperature was still noticeable.
Shen Jing first took out a thermometer from her spatial storage. After seeing the soaring reading, she turned to Gu Yan and said, "It's almost 50 degrees."
The city is much hotter than the base surrounded by mountains!
I didn't feel it much when I was in the suburbs, but now that I'm in the city, I really understand what an "oven" feels like.
With temperatures like this, let alone going outside, even staying in the shop was unbearable for Shen Jing, so she took off her sun-protective clothing and started wearing only a cool vest.
That wasn't all; she then took out a piece of ice she had dug out while fishing in the lake.
As she was getting the ice, Shen Jing glanced at Gu Yan, hoping he would remember the memory.
Shen Jing put the ice cubes in a basin and then took out a wireless fan from her spatial storage and started blowing it.
The scene of us fishing together is still vivid in my mind.
I never expected such a melodramatic amnesia to happen to a big shot.
How long will this apocalypse go on...?
Thinking of this, Shen Jing took out the fish stew that Sister Chen had made.
The fish stew was placed into the space in the freezing cold, and now that it has been taken out of the space, it is still emitting cold air.
However, the fish inside did not become fishy or spoiled when placed on the self-heating pot; it just needed to be heated again by adding water to the self-heating pot.
With a sizzling sound, Shen Jing could already smell the faint aroma of fish, making the stench outside less noticeable.
The fish tasted exactly the same as when Sister Chen had just cooked it.
"Do you remember? Back then, besides the nutrient solution, the only other thing you ate was the fish that Sister Chen cooked."
"...Absolutely impossible."
