Ge Xiu lowered his eyes and carefully observed his palm.

The injured skin was an unhealthy bluish white, the small wounds were open outwardly, revealing the pale flesh.

The fingers opened and closed, with a rubbing sound from the finger bones.

He could feel that the space around him was responding to his call, as if it was an extended part of his body.

Moreover, from the moment Ge Xiu realized what his supernatural ability was, he had been gradually learning how to control and use it.

It was clear that manipulating the air to affect the vibrations of the vocal cords was much more difficult than simply crushing objects.

This kind of precise operation was very difficult and brought more energy consumption, which makes Ge Xiu feel unbearably tired and hungry.

He put down his hands and turned to look at Xie Shili.

The youth’s pale face was covered with a layer of flickering red light by the blazing flames around him. A pair of gray eyes without emotional fluctuations fixedly stared at the man standing beside him. Amidst the tragic and almost inhuman dying screams and wailing coming from behind, he said expressionlessly:

“Eat.”

Xie Shili raised his eyebrows: “Haven’t you finished eating the whole bag just now?”

The shrieking from behind continued and the red flames dyed the whole room into blood scarlet. The terrifying fire was artificially manipulated by human will to precisely delay the process of dying for the sake of causing the greatest pain, making this incredibly torturous process infinitely prolonged.

Ge Xiu nodded pitifully.

Xie Shili raised his fingers slightly, and several ice cones glowing with blue cold light hovered beside him, soon flying with a whizz in the direction of the piercing screams.

The sound of tearing flesh and piercing bones resounded in the raging fire.

The howling stopped abruptly.

In the next second, the room that was still filled with a raging sea of fire just now, the dancing flames suddenly extinguished, leaving only the scorched charred walls and the floor that was completely unrecognizable.

Xie Shili looked down at Ge Xiu, and said in a gentle voice,

“Let’s go, let’s find you something to eat.”

Ge Xiu nodded again, and as he was about to step out, but was suddenly stopped by the other party: “Wait a minute. “

Xie Shili walked forward with a frown, his eyes focused on Ge Xiu’s left foot which bones were broken and only flesh and skin remained.

His eyes darkened and a look of sorrow flashed in his black eyes.

Xie Shili bent down and picked him up.

Ge Xiu obediently raised his arms to hug him, his cold arms wrapped around the man’s warm neck.

He was put safely on the bed.

Ge Xiu propped up his upper body with his arms, looked at the man squatting at his feet, blinked, and repeated:

“Eat.”

“Right away.” Xie Shili found the first aid kit fixed at the side of the bed, and carefully dealt with the wound on the other’s ankle with lowered eyelashes, his movements were skillful and concise, he carefully fixed the wrist bone and leg bone together with a splint and then wrapped them tightly from the outside layer by layer.

Ge Xiu’s eyes fell on his tightly wrapped calf and he shook it tentatively. The previous feeling of half-detachment had disappeared, everything seemed to have been restored to its original state.

Xie Shili stretched out his hand to hold the opponent’s leg that was still moving around and frowned:

“Don’t shake it.”

After all, zombies didn’t have the ability to recover by themselves. Even after such treatment and fixing the foot, there was still the possibility of falling off later.

He turned his head to look at the innocent Ge Xiu worriedly, and said:

“I know you can’t feel the pain, but try to reduce your activities as much as possible in the future. If you want to walk in the future, you can call me. Do you understand?”

Ge Xiu titled his head, he looked at Xie Shili in confusion.

He didn’t understand, wasn’t his leg being repaired just now? Why couldn’t he just walk around?

Looking at the blank gray eyes of the young man, Xie Shili’s heart softened, and he leaned forward to ruffle Ge Xiu’s hair: “Don’t worry, this state won’t last long. I will find a way to heal you.”

Ge Xiu blinked: “En.”

His current well-behaved appearance made Xie Shili’s heart beat wildly, he finally couldn’t hold it back and lowered his head, then kissed the young man’s cold forehead:

“Let’s go find something to eat.”

Xie Shili bent over to pick up Ge Xiu.

The young man’s figure was so thin and light that it felt almost weightless when held him in his arms, but at the moment his heart was full of peace.

Xie Shili’s figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

The empty room was filled with the smell of burnt flesh and fabric.

The captain of the supernatural team pressed his back against the wall in terror, his face was pale and sweaty, his pupils constricted and quivered with fear. His trembling legs finally couldn’t support his weight, as he slid down slowly against the wall. A white human-shaped trace was left on the scorched black wall.

He was the only person to survived this massacre. Those flames with amazing control bypassed him, burning and torturing Wang Shuo and the others in front of his eyes. He watched those people struggling in the flames, their skin, muscles, and eyeballs melting in the heat, flowing down from their body, giving off a burnt smell, but they were still alive, unable to even kill themselves, and could only be burned inch by inch by the raging fire.

He knew that his survival was not a matter of luck or an accident, but that he was deliberately left behind.

And the sight before him was a warning.

The captain of the supernatural team felt his teeth chattering, his whole body shaking in the fear of death.

——That terrible scene like hell itself, he felt that he would never forget it.

outside the room.

The supernatural users brought by the other were not stupid, they were already very clear about the changes in the situation.

No one dared to stop Xie Shili who came out of the room.

On the contrary, when they saw the other, they all retreated one after another, for fear that their behavior would anger the other, leading to their demise.

In the days of the apocalypse, people’s motto was to be wise and protect one’s own life.

Xie Shili picked a car at random and put Ge Xiu in the driver’s seat safely.

He filled the fuel tank, then slowly drove away the car from the Base of the Dawn—the high steel wall was left behind by the vehicle, Xie Shili glanced for the last time at the base that was getting smaller with distance and unexpectedly felt tranquil in his heart.

This time it was really over.

He had nothing to do with this place anymore.

Xie Shili withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Ge Xiu who was sitting in the driver’s seat, with faint warmth surging in his heart.

He finally found his way again.

.

In order to find something to eat for Ge Xiu, Xie Shili first drove to the location of the zombie tide’s appearance, but what he didn’t expect was that after Ge Xiu ate the high-level nucleus and his supernatural power rioted, it not only completely crushed all the bones of the zombies into dust, but even the crystal stones in their skulls were crushed into the meat paste, making it impossible to collect them.

The co-pilot’s door was open.

Ge Xiu sat sideways on the seat, with two slender legs hanging down, unable to touch the ground due to the height of the car.

He tilted his head and looked at Xie Shili outside the car, waiting quietly.

After inspecting several corpses that had been smashed into the ground, Xie Shili finally gave up the idea of looking for edible crystals here.

He turned and walked towards the driver’s seat, comforting him as he walked, “Don’t worry, the nearest city is only half an hour’s drive away…”

Ge Xiu blinked, as if he had sensed something.

He turned his head to look into the distance and let out a suppressed growl from his throat.

In the distance, the same roar could be heard after a few seconds, echoing on the distant plain as if in response.

Xie Shili was taken aback and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

Unexpected figures appeared on the horizon.

Number One, Two, Three and Four rushed in their direction excitedly, each with a bulging backpack on their backs, and happy roars came from their throats.

In just a few minutes, they arrived in front of Ge Xiu, and each showed the full backpack on his back as if offering him a treasure.

As soon as it was pulled open, nuclei of different colours filling the bag could be seen.

During the previous zombie tide, they also participated in the battle, and begun to habitually collect the large number of nuclei from zombies’ heads.

However, they soon realized that something was wrong.

The intuition cultivated after staying by Ge Xiu’s side for a long time told them that there was danger.

So, after exchanging a brief glance, Number One Two Three and Four began to run in opposite directions, and not long after they ran away, the invisible soundless wall suddenly exploded, destroying everything it came across.

And these four zombies happened to escape unharmed.

After the wall disappeared, they found that they could no longer find Ge Xiu’s breath.

So they had no choice, but to carry their backpacks and roam the plains in a daze. While swaying around, they kept catching zombies that were passing by and continuing to fill their backpacks— until now, when they finally heard the familiar call, and they ran back ecstatically, bringing a lot of crystals with him.

Moreover, they were pleasantly surprised to find that they were able to get close to Ge Xiu now, without feeling the instinctive fear.

The four zombies cheerfully squeezed into the back seat again.

Ge Xiu was holding the full backpack, happily stuffing the crystals into his mouth one by one.

Xie Shili couldn’t help laughing.

He really didn’t expect things to develop like this.

However, was is also very good.

Xie Shili looked at the young man who was eating seriously, his eyes softened slightly involuntarily.

He reached out to open the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

The vehicle started and headed towards the end of the plains.

·

Three days later.

Inside the military research base.

Slices of countless zombie tissues, as well as nuclei of various colours and sizes were placed on the test bench, waiting for further research.

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the laboratory.

The flickering red light went on and off in the monotonous white room, signaling the approaching danger.

People in the base suddenly panicked.

This was the signal that the protective wall outside had been destroyed!

How was this possible!

The protective wall had been specially reinforced, able to resist the full-strength attack of a power-type supernatural user. How could it have gotten destroyed without warning!

Moreover, their base was completely enclosed, no light, no sound, and no human breath could get outside, so how did they get exposed!

The person in charge of the institute wiped the sweat that oozed from his forehead.

He had already sent the supernatural users to meet the enemy at the door, while he was in the office, staring nervously at the closed-circuit monitor in front of him.

The monitor screen was flickering with snowflakes, shaken and blurred by the impact just now.

Finally, after a few seconds, the picture became clear and stable.

The moment he saw the picture, the person in charge couldn’t help but gasp, his face paled like paper.

The supernatural users sent out just stood there stiffly, unable to move as if they had been immobilized, and could only stare blankly at the door that was blasted open in front of them.

The edges of the irregular big hole were heated up until red and deformed by the high temperature, the melted metal still flowing down slowly.

The liquid metal dripped on the ground, and instantly solidified due to the low temperature, making a “hisss” sound.

From outside of the destroyed wall, a tall man slowly walked in. He was holding a thin young man in his arms.

The night seeped in from behind him and the cold howling wind swept in.

The man walked by those supernatural beings standing still in place without any concern, and moved in the direction of the research base’s center.

The young man buried in his arms moved and slowly raised his head.

He looked straight in the direction of the surveillance camera expressionlessly, a pair of light gray eyes flashing with inorganic cold glint in the dark night, his emotionless gaze precisely locked on the person behind the screen.

That gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the screen and directly stare at him.

The person in charge took a breath, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that the young man’s straight lips slowly curved up into a slight arc, and then he raised his hand and waved at him.

——as if greeting.

The author has something to say:

Ge Xiu: Didn’t you want to catch me? I’m coming.
