Chapter 125 Kiss her, love her, surrender to her...
Without any healing treatment along the way, Gano had to force himself to stay healthy.
The two dared not stop, fearing the enemy might catch up at any moment. They could only keep running, and Gano never had a chance to rest.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived in District 5 and found this relatively safe place, and then collapsed completely.
During this time, Shan Ran barely managed to survive by going out to find food and water. Fortunately, his ability level was high, so even without healing abilities, his body could slowly heal itself.
Gano curled her lips into a weak smile, "Senior is amazing."
His voice was unusually hoarse, as if it had rolled over gravel, and the tone was very low, as if he were just squeezing a few words out of his throat.
Shanran quickly pushed a large bucket of water over, filled a bottle with some water, and fed it to Ganuo.
She helped Gano sit up, letting him lean against her with his head resting on her shoulder, and then fed him water little by little.
This is the cleanest water Shanran has brought back in a long time.
After being moistened, my dry, chapped lips regained some vitality.
After swallowing the water, Gano's throat wasn't so dry anymore. "Senior, are you injured?"
Shan Ran tripped and fell, suffering a minor scrape on her palm—a small matter compared to Gano.
She held out her palm to Gano for him to see, and moved it a few times to show him that she was fine.
"It's just a tiny scratch, applying some iodine will do the trick."
Gano raised his hand and grasped Shanran's hand, gently rubbing the calluses on her palm, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Shan Ran then took out the food she had received that day.
"Look, I brought back some cookies today. I checked the expiration date, and they're still fresh. Finally, I can eat normal food again. Although eating expired food won't make me sick, it's still better to be able to eat normal cookies."
Shanran carefully tore open the packaging, not daring to drop even a single crumb of biscuit on the ground. She carefully scooped it up in the packaging bag and fed it to Ganuo little by little.
As she fed them the cookies, she kept rambling on and on: "You have no idea how scared those kids were of me at first. They were as frightened as cats with their fur standing on end."
But after they saw me, they asked me where I came from, and said that there are hardly any lone soldiers left outside now. Seeing that I was all alone and had no special abilities, they felt sorry for me and kindly gave me food and water.
Oh, by the way, their supplies were also provided by someone, the leader of a place called Hope Base in District 5.
"Looking at it this way, the people at Hope Base seem alright, but they only accept people with superpowers; they don't want ordinary people or those with very weak superpowers. If you recover, you'll definitely be able to get in..."
"don't want."
Shanran's hands never stopped moving. Worried that the biscuits were too dry, she would feed them water from time to time. She talked so much that sometimes her words were faster than her thoughts, and she didn't even realize it herself.
So much so that when she suddenly heard Gano's response, she had to think back to figure out which sentence he was referring to.
She certainly understood what Gano meant.
He didn't want to go into the Hope Base alone.
but.....
She is too weak.
A-level monsters have already appeared outside. It is said that S-level ability users have appeared on the First Continent, so there must be S-level monsters in some corner of the world as well. It's just that Shanran has not seen any related news.
In the early days of the apocalypse, the level of superhumans increased slowly, but recently, for some unknown reason, high-level superhumans have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Their abilities are growing at an astonishing rate, and their levels are advancing by leaps and bounds, especially on the First Continent, where they have now reached a stage that is difficult to surpass.
What is the concept of S-class? Shan Ran had only heard of it, and could not even imagine it.
A-level is a qualitative leap compared to B-level, an absolute crushing defeat. At S-level, one person can destroy a city.
She was just an ant on the ground, only able to look up at those powerful people. They didn't even need to bow their heads; they could crush her at will.
Why is she so weak?
Why doesn't she have any superpowers?
Why only her?
Why why why why why......
If she had done the same experiment as that older sister, would she have superpowers by now?
Why won't you agree to do the experiment?
Once such thoughts arise, it's easy to get caught up in them, gradually entangling the cerebral cortex, invading the mind, and causing one to become obsessed.
Yes, why didn't she do that experiment?
She wanted to participate in that experiment.
It doesn't matter if ordinary people sacrifice themselves, or even if most of the world's population is reduced, as long as the experiment succeeds and she gains superpowers.
If given the opportunity to use everyone else as stepping stones, she could use them to rise to the top and become a powerful figure. She might have hesitated before, but now she would definitely seize the opportunity.
I desperately want superpowers; I'll do anything to get them...
"Senior?" Ganuo noticed her expression was off and squeezed her fingers. "What's wrong?"
Perhaps because he was weak and dizzy, he saw a dark red light flash in his senior's eyes.
Cold and eerie, it's like a traveler lost in the vast night who sees a red light in the distance and is overjoyed to get closer, only to find that it's the red light of a man-eating beast's eyes, waiting to devour the traveler as soon as he arrives.
Gano frowned, a sense of unease spreading through him. He stared intently at Shan Ran.
The dim candlelight flickered, like the sunset painting the sky, half of the mountain's face bathed in the glow of the sunset, and half in the darkness of night.
For some reason, a bad feeling arose in Gano's heart.
The senior in front of him had an uncontrollable surge of greed and desire in her eyes, as if something indescribable was corrupting her, making her aura increasingly unfamiliar.
"Senior!"
Gano leaned forward and suddenly grabbed Shanran's wrist, causing the remaining cookies, wrapped in a bag, to fall to the ground.
A crisp "snap" sound startled Shanran for a moment.
She jolted awake, trying to regain her senses, but the yearning for supernatural abilities within her still clung to her like a swamp, polluting her and making it difficult for her to escape.
The dullness in his eyes slowly dissipated, but his eyes unconsciously moved rapidly from side to side, staring unfocused ahead, seemingly looking at something.
Only Gano knew how fast his heart was beating at that moment.
In that instant, an absurd idea suddenly popped into his mind.
The senior student left him.
Past memories, physical pain, and past suffering have all become very blurry.
This one thought kept rising, burning within him with anxiety.
He suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
You can't grasp anything, everything is fake, there is nothing at all.
He was as if he were suspended in the air, sitting on a cloud, with his feet not touching the ground, and only floating clouds at his side, visible but ungraspable.
He hugged Shanran, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling her body temperature, and inhaling her scent.
He grasped it.
"Senior...Sister...Ranran..."
He murmured Shanran's name, lowered his head, and gently touched her hair with his lips.
The moment we touched, I felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, and I couldn't help but hug her tighter, pressing myself against her body.
He felt Shan Ran's body temperature, which wafted through the fragile fabric and warmed his cold limbs.
Perhaps because his Zoan-type ability is a black snake, Gano's body temperature is low, especially his extremities, which are always cold.
But at this moment, he could see that the joints on the back of his hands were turning red, and the temperature of his hands and feet was gradually rising.
He couldn't contain the surging emotions within him; they were so overwhelming that they threatened to engulf him.
Kiss her, love her, surrender to her, you are hers, Gano.
And you, brother?
I am hers too.
Gano gently wiped Shanran's cheeks, neck, hands, and body with a damp towel...
The clean water she painstakingly brought back today was mostly used up by Ganuo.
He finally wiped the mountain stain clean. Looking at the thin face so close to his eyes, his nose stung, his forehead throbbed, and the corners of his eyes grew increasingly red.
"Senior..."
He tentatively moved closer, his lips gradually moving downwards, from the top of his head to his forehead, eyes, and nose...
He slowly traced the outline of Shan Ran's face, his movements devout and careful.
Shan Ran's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She blinked, her unfocused eyes slowly bringing together as she looked up and gazed at Gano.
The two were very close, and she could hear the sound of Gano's heart pounding.
Prolonged lack of food, fleeing and hiding, and physical discomfort have left both of them looking unwell.
Especially Shan Ran, she is just an ordinary person. Although she will not get seriously ill, her constitution is not as good as Gano's.
Her skin is now dry and peeling, her lips are cracked, her eyes are dark, and she looks pale and fragile.
Gano didn't want to admit it, but Shanran was really vulnerable right now.
In a world teeming with superpowers and monstrous beasts, how can ordinary people survive? And how can he, whose injuries have taken so long to heal, protect her?
In this abandoned neighborhood, in this cramped basement, two people cling tightly to each other, unable to see the future. No, the future is too far away; they can't even predict what tomorrow will bring.
Too many emotions were suppressed in his heart, and a sour and astringent feeling welled up. The redness at the corner of his eyes gradually spread to his entire eye socket, and there were also blood vessels in his eyes.
Shanran was stunned. She saw the tears in Ganuo's eyes but couldn't understand the complex emotions in his expression.
"What's wrong?"
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she could no longer hold them back, so they slid down her cheeks.
"I..." Gano opened his mouth, but only managed to utter one word before choking up and unable to continue.
A warm, rough hand came up and wiped away the tears that had fallen onto his chin.
Shan Ran smiled, "Don't worry..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head and kissed Gano's lower lip.
His lips were soft, and although she had just given him water, they were still dry. She held them lightly in her mouth, and with the tip of her tongue, slowly moistened his lips.
Gano froze, his eyes wide, at a loss, tears welling up but not falling, his heart skipping a beat.
The girl sucked on his lips for a moment, then pulled away.
His body leaned forward instinctively, trying to find the warmth he had just felt, with a hint of urgency and longing.
However, the girl did not leave; she simply tilted her head and licked away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid," Shan Ran looked at him quietly. Although she was an ordinary person who was extremely vulnerable, her eyes were enough to reassure him. "We will definitely survive."
