TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Accompanying Virus

Gu Tangxi looked at Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou with sparkling eyes. She knew they were the real deal. The rare treasures mentioned in the notes – they just casually picked up two right at the start?

Good thing she latched onto their coattails early. This was a true protagonist aura. She believed that, enveloped in the protagonist’s halo, she would definitely get her wish and own one too, la la la la…!

Her cute little phoenix, little vermilion bird, little turkey, whatever they were, she didn’t mind. Hurry and come into her warm embrace, haha…

Gu Tangyue looked at Gu Tangxi strangely, waving a hand in front of her eyes, “Sis, sis! What are you thinking about? You’re smiling so creepily.” Especially since she was staring intently at Xie YunChuan while smiling, oh~! It was too creepy, Gu Tangyue shivered.

Gu Tangxi coughed twice, trying to cover it up, “Cough~! Cough! Noth-nothing, continue, continue, what were you saying?”

Gu Tangyue was too lazy to talk about her sister’s scatterbrained and easily distracted bad habit. Maybe exceptional people were just a little different, she, a common person, couldn’t understand. “We were saying, what should we do next? And what about Xu Yuzhe?”

“What ‘what about’? Of course, we should bring him into the fold. What a useful helper!”

Xie YunChuan frowned, “Are you sure he’s reliable?”

Gu Tangxi: “Reliable? What do we need to rely on him for? All the supplies are stored in Xiaoyue’s space. If we’re talking about danger, there are so many of us, he’s the one who needs to rely on us. Bringing him along just means another mouth to feed and another pair of hands in a fight, it’s not a big deal, right?

Honestly, although we haven’t known Xu Yuzhe for long, if I’m not mistaken, he’s at least not the kind of person who would stab you in the back.”

After the last incident, Gu Tangxi knew the benefits of having a large group. It wasn’t a bad thing to bring more people into their camp. Although Xie YunChuan was indeed much stronger than other ability users, they were still outnumbered. Humans were, after all, social animals, and group combat was essential.

What she said made sense. Xie YunChuan looked at Gu Tangyue, “What’s your opinion?”

“I think we can keep him around for now and observe. For now, everyone’s getting what they need. Whether or not we can trust him later, we can wait and see.”

Xie YunChuan: “Alright, then let’s see where we should go next.”

Gu Tangxi weakly asked, “Um, I still want to ask, are we going to look for crystal cores?” Gu Tangxi knew Xie YunChuan’s initial goal was to send Luo Shuyou to Li City to find a cure, but increasing their strength was also very important. The end of the world was full of dangers, and they could die at any moment, let alone go here and there.

Xie YunChuan: “First, we’ll kill more zombies and level up our abilities with crystal cores. What Cheng Xie knows, other large bases can’t possibly not know. If we’re too weak, even if we find them, we won’t be able to snatch them.”

Having witnessed Cheng Xie’s unfathomable depths, Xie YunChuan felt that they were too isolated. Not only did they not know a lot of useful information, but even their strength had stagnated. Although he didn’t know why, if Cheng Xie hadn’t had no intention to kill him, he might have already died at Half-Moon City.

Gu Tangxi drooped. Yes, she was still too weak. Although she was also a Level 2 ability user, she couldn’t even beat Xu Yuzhe. She should reflect on herself.

“Then where do we go first?” Gu Tangyue also eagerly wanted to improve her abilities, but… “Didn’t you say that if ability users absorb too many zombie crystal cores, they will also be infected with the virus?”

Xie YunChuan asked, “Do you have any unusual feelings now?” Logically speaking, he himself had absorbed several times more crystal cores than them, and he didn’t have any reactions. They would have even fewer.

However, Cheng Xie’s notes said: 【Because of the Ice Spirit Crystal Soul, as mentioned before, viruses prefer high temperatures, and low temperatures will inhibit viral activity. And the freezing power of the Ice Spirit Crystal Soul is enough to kill the virus. However, this skill can only be used by the owner of the Ice Spirit Crystal Soul, because extreme cold, although it can kill the virus, is also enough to kill humans. Only those who possess the Ice Spirit Crystal Soul can use the power of the Ice Soul to kill the virus under the protection of the crystal soul without harming themselves.】

So Xie YunChuan himself would not be affected by the zombie virus, whether it was from zombie attacks or from absorbing crystal cores. It would be annihilated by the Ice Spirit Crystal Soul the moment it entered Xie YunChuan’s body.

Gu Tangyue first shook her head, indicating that she didn’t. It might be because she had absorbed too few crystal cores. After being kidnapped last time, she resolutely refused to accept the crystal cores that Gu Tangxi gave her.

She couldn’t help at all when danger came, and instead, she was a burden. She really shouldn’t take up her sister’s resources anymore.

Gu Tangxi might have been thinking that Xie YunChuan wasn’t there at the time, and the end of the world was full of dangers. She had to improve her strength as soon as possible to protect them, so she didn’t insist that Gu Tangyue accept them.

Gu Tangxi carefully thought about how she had been feeling recently. She felt that she had some differences, but it wasn’t obvious and was hard to describe. “I might have it, but I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve absorbed too many crystal cores and got infected with the virus.”

Xie YunChuan asked, “What kind of feeling?”

Gu Tangxi carefully considered her words and described, “I feel like my internal energy is getting more and more turbid, and my body is not as refreshed, as if something dirty has stuck to it.” She really couldn’t describe that feeling well. Maybe only those who have had the same experience would understand.

Xie YunChuan nudged Luo Shuyou, who was listening attentively to their conversation. He was like a curious baby, even if he couldn’t understand anything, he had to open his eyes wide and prick up his ears to hear every word they said.

“Shuyou, can you check if there’s something dirty in Sister Xiaoxi’s body?”

Many of the things in Cheng Xie’s notes that involved Luo Shuyou had been destroyed by Xie YunChuan in advance. In fact, the Wood Spirit Crystal Soul in Luo Shuyou’s body possessed the strongest purification power in the world, and could easily eliminate the zombie virus in others more easily than purification abilities.

In fact, ability users themselves have a certain ability to purify viruses. This is why it was previously rumored that ability users would not be infected with the virus and mutate, because at first, people could not come into contact with and kill many zombies with crystal cores. So even if they suffered some injuries and absorbed some crystal cores, the virus would be eliminated by the ability users’ own purification ability over time.

It was just that as ability users had to absorb crystal cores in large quantities to improve their abilities, their bodies could not purify them in time. As more and more viruses entered the body with the crystal cores, they would show symptoms of infection.

If they were not cleaned up in time or stopped absorbing crystal cores, they would continue to accumulate more viruses until they mutated into zombies.
