Shen Jing waved her right hand.
The hand, which had just become transparent, began to regain its solidity.
Gu Yan was holding her tightly, and she could only rest her chin on his shoulder.
The zombies were slowly closing in, and Yang Muyi, wearing night vision goggles, could see them clearly. She and Zhang Ze stood guard beside them, and only after Shen Jing had confirmed the zombie heads did she say, "Let's go back quickly, there are more and more of them gathering."
Now that it's all dark around them, if a large horde of zombies were to swarm in, they wouldn't be able to escape so easily!
Even if it's just to come out for a short while to complete a task.
It's unknown how many people ended up mutating instead.
Just like the group that tried to attack Shen Jing earlier, they had succeeded several times before!
They failed not because of the zombies, but because they hit a brick wall.
Now, Shen Jing and her group are in the same situation; it's hard to guarantee that even more formidable opponents will emerge.
Shen Jing pushed Gu Yan away, "Okay, let's go back first."
Gu Yan, whose heart had just stopped beating from the shock of regaining what he had lost, looked at Shen Jing with longing in his eyes upon hearing her words, and hugged her even tighter.
"I'm glad you're okay."
"I'm fine now, but if you keep holding me, something bad might happen."
Shen Jing responded to Gu Yan calmly, her voice unchanged, "After the countdown ends, there may be many more fresh corpses or zombies on the road, so don't waste time."
You can also reload your save file and start over in the game.
But the feeling of being on the verge of death was too profound. If Gu Yan hadn't carried her here to check on her, or if he hadn't stopped the loss of her life points at the last second, she would have disappeared by now. There's no turning back now!
Even the space is ready to be unbound.
If you die, the things in this space will definitely be unusable. Don't think of me as someone abandoning everyone in times of trouble.
It was at this moment that even the electronic sounds in the space began to feel familiar.
She was too careless, always thinking it was just a game...
Shen Jing and the others covered each other as they walked step by step toward the self-built house.
Sure enough, we encountered many people on the road who died after the countdown ended.
Their corpses were almost transparent, as if they would evaporate if exposed to the sun. The torchlight made them appear especially eerie, and beside them were people scavenging the bodies, and... zombies devouring them!
Those people didn't try to hide anything from Shen Jing and her group.
It's as if doing evil is the norm in the end times.
The group quickly returned to the house and locked the three doors tightly before they felt a little more at ease.
The outside is in complete chaos, even more turbulent than when the zombies attacked the base!
Just as she finished what she was doing, Shen Jing noticed someone watching her and looked to the side while wearing night vision goggles.
Gu Yan stood silently beside her, watching her intently.
Shen Jing raised an eyebrow. What did Gu Yan mean by that expression?
Before Shen Jing could ask.
Gu Yan then took her hand and led her into the room.
"Were you just about to sacrifice yourself for those unrelated people? Did they even deserve it?"
As soon as they entered the room, they found themselves in a spatial dimension.
As Shen Jing listened to Gu Yan's words, she felt a kind of indescribable emotion.
She hadn't felt genuine concern from others for a long time; after all, in Yang Muyi's eyes, she was quite capable.
However, Shen Jing has now discovered that she is actually afraid of the moment when she is about to die.
"It won't happen again next time." She would first make sure she had completed the task herself.
Gu Yan wasn't entirely convinced. "Are you sure? What if those people still can't protect themselves?"
Shen Jing seems to be slowly becoming more and more like the Shen Jing in the dream, even in her thoughts.
She curled her lips into a smile, her eyes as cold as ever, "I can't protect them forever either."
The temperature in the space was very comfortable.
Both of them were exhausted during those 60 minutes of being out on a mission.
In the end, they tacitly went into the RV and started eating cooked food.
Despite having witnessed zombies devouring people outside, the two of them still ate the meat with relish, even Gu Yan. Shen Jing couldn't help but ask, "Did you drink the nutrient solution I gave you before? How was it?"
In both the dream and the game setting, Gu Yan is a person who lives on nutrient solution.
She instinctively gave him the nutrient solution from the space.
Gu Yan glanced at her and said with a slightly puzzled look, "I don't like the taste of the nutrient solution."
Her hands, holding chopsticks, paused for a moment. Shen Jing tilted her head and stared at him. "So you can eat normal food?"
At this point, Gu Yan felt even more puzzled.
Nutrient solution experiments were also conducted in the laboratory, but those were top secret files.
Gu Chen mainly wanted to test the possibility of humans using nutrient solutions to replace staple foods. And because Gu Yan wouldn't die even if he did this, the experiment gradually became more and more perverse.
"I won't eat anything that tastes bad."
Gu Yan hesitated before saying something.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jing smiled and her eyes crinkled.
So it's just that they're picky eaters?
I noticed he wasn't moving around in the kitchen earlier, and I thought he needed nutrient solution.
Sure enough, there were some hidden in the space, and she knew all too well who the owner of these nutrient solutions was.
Hearing this, Shen Jing didn't mention the nutrient solution further. She and Gu Yan ate the teriyaki chicken cutlet that came after the mission, and also ordered a few desserts.
While eating dessert, Shen Jing also observed carefully.
Gu Yan really loves desserts, especially watermelon smoothies.
However, when he had access to the frozen area before, even though it was extremely hot at the time, he didn't take anything.
Shen Jing discovered that Gu Yan was actually a very sensible person.
The madness in his bones doesn't seem to have manifested yet; he just appears extremely indifferent when he's too lazy to pretend in front of others.
After this rescue...
Shen Jing planned to treat him as someone she could befriend.
After seeing that he had finished his shaved ice, she took out another bowl for him, rested her chin on her hand and looked at Gu Yan, "When it was extremely hot before, you could have taken the ice from inside, why did you only take the vegetables to cook?"
Shen Jing thought that since she had already taken the food, it wouldn't hurt to take a little more.
It was 50 degrees Celsius back then.
"I want it." Gu Yan put the small spoon in his mouth. "But I can prepare an extra portion for you when I cook. If the rest is used up, I won't be able to pay you back."
Indeed, they have a very clear sense of proportion and a precise understanding of numbers.
So after Shen Jing saw through his plan, he immediately went to search for supplies by climbing mountains and wading through rivers.
"Did you really go over mountains and cross rivers to find steak back then?"
“Yes, there’s still ice and meat in that cold storage, but I can’t bring it all back by myself.” Gu Yan didn’t hide anything. “Actually, I deliberately lived next door to you. At that time… you didn’t seem to want to talk to me.”
She started to sound aggrieved again.
As for the cold storage he mentioned, it should be the one that was taken over by the authorities.
This person actually managed to smuggle himself across the border right under the noses of the authorities...
Shen Jing shook her head and chuckled, not finding it surprising at all.
