TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 77

Chapter 77: An Even More Special Existence?

Xie YunChuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he questioned, “You haven’t even leveled up yourself, how do you know all this?”

With Xie YunChuan’s current strength, he didn’t need to deliberately sense it; the moment they met, he knew that Lu Yunzhou’s ability was still at the initial stage and hadn’t been further upgraded.

Lu Yunzhou fought zombies in the underground arena every day. Given this situation, he shouldn’t lack initial-level zombie crystal cores from which to absorb energy. Over time, those crystal cores should have been enough for him to accumulate enough energy to meet the conditions for leveling up.

And according to him, he also mastered the method to breakthrough level up.

Xie YunChuan sized him up again, taking in his body covered in scars. He confronted zombies every day, which fully met the conditions for breakthrough and leveling up, so there was no reason he was still a small, initial-level ability user.

This made Xie YunChuan reasonably suspect that what he was saying was fabricated to exchange for a chance at survival.

Lu Yunzhou clutched his chest and gasped for breath. He felt short of breath and his heart felt as if it was about to give out.

He looked at Luo Shuyou, who was standing behind Xie YunChuan, holding Xie YunChuan’s hand and occasionally poking his head out, his eyes darting around as he curiously sized him up.

Then he met Xie YunChuan’s sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything, and pleaded, “Can you… *cough*… can you let him take a look at me first? I’ll explain to you slowly, okay? Please!”

He really, really wasn’t deliberately stalling this time, trying to manipulate Xie YunChuan into saving him.

It was just that if he didn’t receive treatment, he would really kick the bucket.

Xie YunChuan gave Lu Yunzhou a deep look, then turned and held Luo Shuyou by the shoulders, gently saying, “Shuyou, can you do a favor for gege?”

He stepped to the side, completely exposing Lu Yunzhou to Luo Shuyou’s view, and pointed at Lu Yunzhou, saying, “Can you help gege erase the wounds on his body?”

Luo Shuyou looked down at Lu Yunzhou, who was covered in dirt and reeked of a foul odor, his delicate brows furrowing tighter and tighter. Then he looked up at Xie YunChuan, who was looking at him with hopeful eyes. He silently walked behind Xie YunChuan again, pulled on his arm, and buried his head in refusal.

He didn’t want to get close to this dirty thing.

Xie YunChuan didn’t know whether Luo Shuyou hadn’t understood his words or had understood but was unwilling. Regardless of which one it was, he could never force Luo Shuyou to do something he didn’t want to do.

In fact, he hoped that Luo Shuyou could understand, but based on Luo Shuyou’s performance, it was difficult for Xie YunChuan to tell if he had understood.

But seeing that Lu Yunzhou looked like he was about to die, Xie YunChuan was unusually troubled and began to ponder.

The light in Lu Yunzhou’s eyes shattered completely when he saw Luo Shuyou resist and hide behind Xie YunChuan. He closed his eyes in despair, waiting to die.

There was no hope; this time, there was absolutely no hope!

He knew better than anyone that Xie YunChuan would never force Luo Shuyou to do anything.

After thinking for a moment, the image of White Tiger Cub blocking the zombie attack for Luo Shuyou flashed in Xie YunChuan’s mind, and he finally remembered the existence of this tiger.

His gaze swept around, and he found the White Tiger Cub curled up in a ball in the corner.

“Whitey!”

Huh…? White Tiger Cub stood up with a start and shook itself.

Thinking that the crisis was over, it had been dozing off there and almost fell asleep.

What’s going on? Had Xie YunChuan finally remembered to settle accounts with it after the fact?

Its heart panicked, but it walked steadily to Luo Shuyou’s feet and rubbed against him.

Wuwu, as long as little master loves it, Xie YunChuan that bastard won’t be able to mistreat it.

Xie YunChuan used his foot to nudge White Tiger Cub in front of Lu Yunzhou, “Stop rubbing. Come and see if you can heal his injuries.”

Xie YunChuan wasn’t surprised at all that even though he was the one who called White Tiger Cub, it eagerly ran to rub against Luo Shuyou’s leg. White Tiger Cub had always liked Luo Shuyou more.

But White Tiger Cub itself felt guilty, Xie YunChuan’s kicking motion made it think it was going to be trampled into mincemeat today, its heart stopped beating.

… Okay, it actually didn’t have a heart… but that didn’t prevent it from feeling terrified to death.

Fortunately, its tiger face didn’t show much expression, and Xie YunChuan, looking down from above, had a hard time noticing its flustered eyes.

Otherwise, with its guilty look that had “I made a mistake” written all over its face, it would have been hard for Xie YunChuan not to suspect it.

Xie YunChuan didn’t know exactly what White Tiger Cub’s abilities were. He only knew that White Tiger Cub was definitely not a simple, ordinary little tiger cub.

And combined with the previous times it helped Luo Shuyou block attacks and the time and place it appeared, although there were many confusions, Xie YunChuan was sure that White Tiger Cub was very useful.

He just didn’t know if it also had healing abilities. It just so happened that he could let it try this time.

White Tiger Cub stood there blankly for a long time. Xie YunChuan said, “Why are you standing there without moving? Can’t you heal him?”

Xie YunChuan couldn’t say whether he was disappointed or not. He just wanted to try White Tiger Cub’s abilities to further deepen his understanding of it.

Huh? Heal? Heal what? White Tiger Cub, which was panicking about going to the execution ground, finally came back to its senses.

It took a closer look at Lu Yunzhou, who was filled with death, and realized that Xie YunChuan wanted it to heal this person’s injuries.

Hehe, it wasn’t discovered giving meat to little master, that was good.

Heal! How could it not heal? Even if it couldn’t heal, it had to be able to!

White Tiger Cub raised its foot and got a little closer, raised its tiger paw, and a warm, silver-white light radiated from its palm, enveloping Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou, who had already given up hope, once again felt a glimmer of hope. He didn’t know why Xie YunChuan would let a tiger cub heal him.

Could it be that even animals could develop abilities now?

This world was no longer something that could be measured by common sense, so it was no wonder that he would pin his hopes on an animal cub because of Xie YunChuan’s words.

The silver-white warm light shone on his body, and Lu Yunzhou had a refreshing feeling of having washed away the lead and unloaded all his burdens.

Lu Yunzhou didn’t look up and couldn’t sense it, but Xie YunChuan, who was standing aside and paying close attention to his situation, saw it clearly.

In the hazy white light, wisps of black smoke-like things were slowly drawn out of Lu Yunzhou’s body, bit by bit, and slowly gathered in the white tiger’s palm to be absorbed by it.

Xie YunChuan could feel the energy fluctuations on those black airs that were unique to zombies.

Xie YunChuan stared intently. Could it be that Lu Yunzhou was already infected before he awakened his ability?

Then, besides being seriously injured, his consciousness and speech were no different from ordinary people.

Was he an even more special infected person than Luo Shuyou?

Then what was going on with White Tiger Cub absorbing those black smoke? It was like absorbing the virus, so would Lu Yunzhou recover?

Would he be like a person who had never been infected with the virus?

Those black airs disappeared after being absorbed into White Tiger Cub’s palm. White Tiger Cub was not different, was it completely purified and consumed by it?

So, White Tiger Cub could purify corpse poison?

Thinking of this, Xie YunChuan immediately stopped him, “Whitey, stop!”
