TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 34
by VolareChapter 34: Reunion
Lin Yi interjected, “Regarding the zombie crystal cores mentioned inside, if the one outside was just an evolved zombie, does that mean it also had a crystal core in its head?”
Xie YunChuan then took out a candy-sized, angular crystal, “This was dug out of its head.”
“You’re really quick, you already dug it out.” Lu Yunzhou took it and examined it carefully. Xie YunChuan must have already used his power to clean it, the crystal was crystal clear and faintly red, like an expensive gem, not at all like something taken from the rotten flesh of a zombie.
Lu Yunzhou returned the crystal core to him, “It is said that crystal cores can enhance abilities, you should try it quickly.” After all, Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou killed the zombie, and no one had any objections to giving the crystal core to him, or rather, no one dared to object.
Xie YunChuan took it, “No rush.” He was thinking, since crystal cores can enhance abilities, then if he used it on Luo Shuyou, would it also enhance his healing ability?
He was fine even after being bitten for so long before, which should be because his ability awakened. If he could raise his ability to a certain level, would Luo Shuyou return to normal?
“People can awaken abilities in desperate situations.” Lu Yunzhou muttered this sentence, and looked at Xie YunChuan and Lin Yi and asked, “Did you two awaken your abilities like that?”
Lin Yi: “Yeah, didn’t I tell you? Didn’t you realize you were in a desperate situation?”
Xie YunChuan pondered for a moment and slowly nodded. That made sense. Luo Shuyou should have awakened his ability when he was bitten.
“That’s great, ability users won’t be infected into zombies.” Lin Yi said excitedly when he saw this, so he didn’t have to be so careful and unable to fully use his abilities.
Lin Yan, hearing this, clenched his fists under the table with some jealousy.
“That’s great, damn it! Why don’t I have an ability… ah?” Lu Yunzhou was indignant. He had encountered no shortage of dangers, so why hadn’t he awakened an ability? Could it be because he had a good mindset and didn’t think it was a desperate situation?
This world was constantly impacting his materialistic worldview.
Xie YunChuan: “Next time there’s danger, you go first.”
Lu Yunzhou hurriedly waved his hand in refusal, “There’s no need for that.”
What a joke, he could still tell the difference between wanting an ability and wanting to live, okay?
Lin Yi put his hand on his shoulder and comforted him, “It’s okay, Lu Ge, with your ability, you’ll definitely get one, sooner or later.”
No one noticed the gloomy expression on Lin Yan’s face in the corner, nor would they notice his palms being pinched raw. He was like a boring background, no one would notice him, and he couldn’t get a word in.
A stage for four people with a play for three.
Suddenly, Xie YunChuan and Lin Yi’s expressions turned stern, and they fell silent at the same time. Lin Yi covered Lu Yunzhou’s mouth, who was about to speak, and then blew out the candles in one breath. Xie YunChuan quickly walked to the stairwell and looked down with cold eyes.
Chen Zhiqiang and Wen Fan, enduring hunger, wandered around and around, and finally found this small village. They strained their voices, clenched their hearts, and tiptoed closer.
They knew that if only the two of them came in, they would be feeding the zombies, but they were already hungry, and they had dragged their tired bodies for a day. If they didn’t come in to find something to eat, they would starve to death on some mountain without the zombies attacking them.
Fortunately, they hadn’t encountered a single zombie since they came in, but of course, they hadn’t found anything to eat either. There were no zombies, no living people, and no food here…!
If they couldn’t eat, they probably wouldn’t wake up, they really didn’t want to search house by house in the rain.
After searching for only two houses, Wen Fan sat down and said tiredly, “Zhi… Zhiqiang, teacher really can’t move anymore, why don’t… you go find something first, and then come back here to rest, teacher will wait for you here.”
Chen Zhiqiang stopped searching, he was tired! Every time he came in, he found a comfortable place to sit down, without moving at all, tired my ass!
Now it was good, he didn’t even plan to enter the house.
“Okay, teacher, if you’re tired, rest here, but I’m also exhausted and hungry, it’s raining so hard outside, and I can’t tell the direction at night. If I find something to eat, I won’t come back for the time being. I’ll come to find teacher tomorrow after the rain stops and it’s dawn.”
It sounded nice to come back here to rest, but wasn’t it just letting him find food himself and bring it back to him with great effort? He didn’t care before, did he really think he was stupid?
It was obvious that this place had been searched everywhere, even if he searched all over, he might not be able to find anything left, and he couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be those man-eating things hiding somewhere.
He wasn’t going to be the sucker this time.
Wen Fan frowned, “What nonsense are you talking about? Isn’t it better to have someone to look after you when there are two people?”
Chen Zhiqiang slandered in his heart, look after? Was it taking care of him, him taking care of you.
Hmph, he didn’t need someone to look after him when he was looking for things, but he needed someone to look after him when he found something and wanted to rest, ridiculous.
“Oh, it’s nonsense, if you don’t go, I’ll go, goodbye teacher.” It wasn’t impossible to respect the teacher one last time.
Seeing his attitude, Wen Fan didn’t dare to really stay here, and followed him closely.
This resulted in the two people Xie YunChuan saw downstairs sneaking in. Wen Fan still found a place to sit down as soon as he entered the door, wiped the rain off his face, and rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs to wring out the water, a drop in the bucket, better than nothing.
After doing these things, he shook the water off his hands and exhaled a long breath, leaning back with a somewhat leisurely air, completely ignoring Chen Zhiqiang, who was exhausted from rummaging everywhere.
He thought that Chen Zhiqiang was still as easy to manipulate as before, comfortably waiting for him to find something to eat and respectfully bring it to him to show respect to him, the old man.
But little did he know that after so long, Chen Zhiqiang had found something to fill the gaps between his teeth even in such difficult conditions, and yes, he had filled his own teeth.
A flash of lightning flashed, and Xie YunChuan saw clearly that the two people below were from Lin Yi’s group before. His tense body relaxed, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He went back to signal Lin Yi to take a look for himself, and he would take care of his own people.
After Lin Yi went to take a look, he went downstairs and led them up.
“Lin Yi, I didn’t expect to run into you here again.” When he first saw that it was Lin Yi, he was really surprised and happy.
Lin Yi found a stool for Chen Zhiqiang, who was soaked, to sit down, “How did you find this place?”
As for Wen Fan, who was also soaked, no one paid attention to him. Very good, another member was added to the background, Lin Yan was finally not alone.
Chen Zhiqiang told him about what happened after they separated, focusing on the zombification of Lin Jinshu. Hearing that Lin Jinshu was inexplicably infected and mutated, everyone simultaneously thought of Luo Shuyou, and Xie YunChuan’s eyes darkened.
Xie YunChuan stood leisurely on the side, seemingly unconcerned, but in fact he was ready to take action at any time. So what if Luo Shuyou injured her, if she didn’t seek her own death, how could Luo Shuyou have injured her?
Lin Yi carefully chose his words and was about to persuade Xie YunChuan to take action against Luo Shuyou, but Lu Yunzhou stopped him in time. He held his arm and shook his head slightly at him.
Not to mention that all of them combined couldn’t do anything to Luo Shuyou now, Xie YunChuan would never allow anyone to harm Luo Shuyou, let alone join Lin Yi’s ranks, it would be useless to say more, it would only intensify the conflict.
Xie YunChuan watched this scene with satisfaction. Very good, keep all your dissatisfaction to yourselves, learning to shut up is a compulsory course for long-term survival.
