"It turns out she really can understand the true power of the Qiong Snake. The Qiong Snake was originally an ancient curse. After being unlocked by Brother Duan, Brother Duan also endured tremendous pain. Now that the Qiong Snake is in her body, I simply feel... it's perfect."
With Pei Xiqing's help, everyone managed to gain a favorable position in the battle between themselves and the host in a short period of time.
Ling Lang stopped her and felt her hand trembling as she held the blade. "Okay, we don't need you here anymore."
He said, "Go find Brother Duan with peace of mind. You two...make sure you come back alive."
Pei Xiqing smiled at him and said, "Brother Duan is not afraid of natural disasters, and neither am I."
…
Ten days later.
Pei Xiqing finally regained consciousness from her endless nightmare. When she opened her eyes and sat up, Long Yan and Qiu Chao were preparing to give her an injection.
Seeing her get up on her own with a start, Qiu Chao clapped his hands and said, "It's really... a medical miracle. A dead person can come back to life ten days later."
Long Yan couldn't help but slap him.
"That's enough for you."
Qiu Chao: "Just kidding, congratulations on waking up. This can be considered as surviving a disaster. They say that those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. Who knows, your good fortune may really be in the future."
Long Yan: "Will you die if you say less?"
Qiu Chao scratched his head. "Okay, then I won't say anything more. I'll go check on her physical examination results and see how the X substance in her body is recovering."
Pei Xiqing rubbed his forehead.
Long Yan held her hand. "Do you still feel pain? It's normal to still feel a little pain now. Your head and body have collided with hard objects. You're very lucky to be able to survive. You're lucky to have a good life."
Pei Xiqing asked: "How long have I slept?"
"Ten days."
Long Yan explained, "This is still a red zone, but the surrounding zombies and parasites have been cleared out. Ling Lang and the others are still conducting a final check to ensure that no parasites have been missed. They should be able to be collected and reunited in a few days."
"Where's Brother Duan?"
Speaking of this, Long Yan became interested. "Where did you get Brother Duan back from? Do you know how ten days ago, we saw you buried in the earth, as if you were blown away, and then you dragged Brother Duan out from such a huge crack. We were all stunned, you know?!"
"I just happened to use the crystal core to find his location." Pei Xiqing smiled weakly. "He's actually not difficult to find. He's in the cracks underground. It's just that because of the natural disaster, you can't really reach him."
"Then how did you sense it? Is the crystal core really that magical?"
Pei Xiqing just smiled and said nothing.
She asked, "Is he okay?"
"It's okay, but he still hasn't woken up yet..."
The trauma Brother Duan suffered was much more serious than hers.
If it weren't for the timely rescue.
I'm afraid he really won't survive.
Fortunately, there is Qiu Chao and the crystal core she placed on Brother Duan’s chest.
Long Yan couldn't help but be curious: "Just tell me quickly, you're keeping it a secret and teasing me. You know I've been worried sick about you two these days, so tell me now!"
Not only her, but everyone else was almost dying of curiosity.
How was this deadlock resolved?
Pei Xiqing couldn't bear it anymore. Originally, she didn't intend to say anything. Then, she whispered something in her ear.
Long Yan's eyes suddenly widened.
She looked at Pei Xiqing: "You...you are so stupid!"
"It doesn't matter. It won't hurt me. I'll just get bitten by zombies later. But... you should have almost cleared out all the zombies and parasites out there." Pei Xiqing lay back down and said quietly, "Maybe there won't be any zombies in this world in the future."
Long Yan: "You... Hey! Otherwise, how can you say that you and Brother Duan are of the same mind!"
Pei Xiqing closed his eyes and prepared to rest again.
Long Yan also sighed and went out.
Pei Xiqing actually couldn't fall asleep very well.
Later she realized that someone seemed to be standing next to her.
It’s Ling Lang.
Ling Lang didn't know when he came back.
His body was still covered in the dirty blood of zombies and parasites.
He did not approach Pei Xiqing, but just stood across the glass, as if he just wanted to take a look at her.
Pei Xiqing has a serpent in his body, so he was able to find him quickly.
After being seen, Ling Lang subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it, but his gaze met Pei Xiqing's.
He could only clear his throat, "You...are you awake? Are you feeling better? When you came back ten days ago, your whole body was covered in blood, especially your chest..."
At that moment, he didn't know who to hug first.
Pei Xiqing pulled Brother Duan back from hell.
Two people... He seemed unable to let go or make a choice.
"It's okay." Pei Xiqing smiled at him through the glass: "I've almost recovered."
Ling Lang paused: "Okay."
He added, "Qiu Chao said that you...the crystal core that exploded at the end was actually..."
Pei Xiqing: "Yes, it doesn't matter. It's useless for me to take your things anyway."
Ling Lang understood: "Okay."
He stood for a while, then looked at Pei Xiqing again: "Actually, I don't hate you, never have."
"I know."
"I……"
"Um?"
"No."
He smiled.
"Take good care of your injuries."
"good."
"I'm leaving now. See you at the base."
Pei Xiqing sat up from the bed.
"Ling Lang, thank you."
The other party did not respond and left the ward directly.
Pei Xiqing covered his chest and fell back onto the bed.
After a while, Qiu Chaoyi spoke over the intercom in the ward: "Do you regret it?"
"What's there to regret? It's done."
"You surprised me, surprised everyone else." Qiu Chao's tone was full of sudden enlightenment. "We killed so many parasites, so many zombie mutants, that we almost forgot that you are also a zombie, such an important fact."
Pei Xiqing hugged the pillow and said, "Yeah, I almost forgot about it myself."
"How did you come up with that?"
"Ever since Brother Duan started frantically looking for crystal cores for me, I've been wondering how a heart or even a body could possibly need nourishment from a crystal core. Then I realized it." She tilted her head slightly. "Only zombie bodies with crystal cores need constant nourishment from them, constant ingestion, and constant absorption."
"That's right."
Qiu Chao came over and pushed the door open.
A pair of eyes stared at her.
"So you used your own crystal core to save Brother Duan." His eyes were filled with regret. "Fool, do you know how rare and precious your crystal core is? Ten days ago, you were the zombie with the most powerful crystal core in the entire universe! You could easily claim to be the king! Alas, you took it out yourself, what a waste!"
"This thing never belonged to me." Pei Xiqing said, "It's just right to destroy it, so that there won't be any messy erotic incidents in the future."
"Too."
Qiu Chao nodded in agreement.
He said, "But the X substance in your body has completely disappeared. From now on, you will be an ordinary person without a heart. The crystal core is your heart as a zombie. You took it out with your own hands. You don't need to see a cardiologist for medical treatment in the future."
"Isn't this good? It saves money."
"Come on." He couldn't help but sigh again: "But Brother Duan is not much better than you."
Pei Xiqing lay down for a while.
I heard Qiu Chao suddenly shout: "Brother Duan is awake! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Pei Xiqing immediately sat up and paused again.
She made many decisions on her own and did many things that he would definitely not agree with... What if he got angry?
Pei Xiqing shrank his neck, feeling a slight chill on his wrists and ankles from being tied up.
She hesitated for a few seconds, and the door of the ward was opened by a man from the outside.
Pei Xiqing raised her head and met the eyes of the man standing at the door.
She opened her lips, but before she could say anything, the man rushed over and hugged her tightly.
