Vaguely, Li Xing felt a warm and soft touch on his head. He rested his head on his lap and hugged it tightly.
Vaguely, he heard the girl's cries.
Droplets of water fell on his cheeks and cracked lips…
Salty?
This is not the smell of blood
……………………
Li Xing didn't want to think too much about what happened in the sewers that day.
He only remembered that he had vomited, vomited a lot. Xiaoyu comforted him, patted his back, and helped him take off his dirty clothes. Even though she felt terrible, she had survived in the apocalypse for so long that she was no longer unfamiliar with death.
Later, Li Xing gathered the corpses together and threw a few incendiary bombs.
Looking at the filth enveloped by the fire, he did not say another word.
Holding the trembling Xiao Yu, Li Xing left this horrifying place.
Zhao Xue's wound had stopped bleeding. When Li Xing returned, she was already able to walk. Three bullets hit her abdomen and one hit her shoulder. Due to the close distance, the bullet pierced through the bulletproof vest. When he heard Zhao Xue say that she had already removed the bullet, Li Xing was surprised.
This strong woman always did things that were beyond his common sense.
That night, Li Xing got drunk when he returned to the villa. He drank almost all the beer in the villa. Because of her injuries, Zhao Xue had been lying down for a long time. Xiao Yu had been taking care of him the entire time. She helped him change into clean clothes and then helped him onto the bed.
Xiao Yu was very sensible, even though she was also in pain. Seeing such a tragic situation made her spirit, which she had worked so hard to be strong, almost collapse. However, she understood that Li Xing was the one who needed to be taken care of.
That kind man looked as if he had just come out of a fallout shelter.
Xiao Yu recalled the first time she saw a pile of dead bodies. She almost fainted immediately. However, when she realized that even in a survivor base, death was a common occurrence, she gradually became numb.
In the apocalypse, kindness was a luxury, and wanton squandering was a waste.
She had heard about cannibals. They hid in the shadows, in the dirty sewers, worshiped almost perverted heretical beliefs, and ate the flesh and blood of their compatriots without hesitation. They were the enemy of almost every human organization. Even the anti-human mutated human groups despised them. Even the six gangs that proclaimed freedom forbade them from approaching.
She placed a wet towel on Li Xing's forehead and looked at his face with a pained expression. Then, she silently turned around and left the room, gently closing the door behind her.
"Is he asleep?"
Xiao Yu was stunned. At this moment, Zhao Xue was awake for some reason. She was wearing thin undergarments and leaning against the door with a complicated expression.
"Yes... Aren't you asleep?" Xiao Yu asked in confusion.
"Yes, I can't sleep…Forget it. Since he was already asleep, she would tell him tomorrow.”After saying that, Zhao Xue smiled bitterly. She scratched her long hair and turned around to return to her room.
"Oh right, which one…"
"Hmm?" Xiao Yu was about to turn around when she heard Zhao Xue calling out to her. She turned around in confusion.
"…Thank you."
In the shadows, Xiao Yu couldn't see Zhao Xue's expression. She returned to the house after she finished speaking.
Xiao Yu was stunned and could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
To be honest, she wasn't good at dealing with this domineering " mistress."
But now, it seemed that she was actually quite a good person.

The next day, Li Xing rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up on the soft bed. The sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling, making him squint his eyes.
Had the radiation cloud finally dispersed? It looked like the weather was getting hotter. After all, it was midsummer in reality.
The door slowly opened, and Xiao Yu's petite body scuttled into the room.
"Um, wash your face." Xiao Yu whispered as she placed the basin on the bedside table.
Looking at her cute face, Li Xing's stiff face couldn't help but reveal a comfortable smile. She reached out and rubbed her fluffy hair." I feel like I've taken in a little maid.”
"No need, I can do it myself. Speaking of which, what time is it now?"
"It's nine o'clock…Let me do it." Xiao Yu gently wrung the towel dry and started to wipe Li Xing's face.
"Are you feeling better?" Zhao Xue seemed to have noticed the commotion as she came into the house and looked at Li Xing worriedly.
"I'm much better, but you... Are your injuries okay?"
"There's no problem with my words... There are some things that I have to explain to you.”Zhao Xue suddenly put on a serious expression, which made Li Xing's face turn serious as well.
Although Zhao Xue was usually very naughty, she was never careless when it came to things that needed to be taken seriously.
"Theoretically speaking, the gene serum only slightly transforms the gene type of the newly generated cells in the human body, strengthening the muscle strength, bone density, nervous system, and other items related to survivability to a certain extent. If you turn on your PC now, you will see the changes in your physical fitness over the past few days.”

"Yesterday…Due to the stimulation of anger, you entered a berserk state.”Zhao Xue's face turned red when she realized that Li Xing was angry because of her. However, she quickly calmed down and continued," Usually, the gene serum will only modify three basic abilities. However, because it involves the modification of DNA, it is possible to produce some unpredictable mutations... It was said that someone had grown two heads after the injection.”
"F * ck, you actually injected me with such a dangerous thing.”Li Xing's face turned ashen.
"The probability is very small and can be ignored." Zhao Xue blushed and scratched her head in embarrassment. However, she did not intend to admit her mistake and chose to change the topic.
"However, there are also some people who have obtained more useful abilities because of the benign mutation…For example, the ability I obtained is called Tenacity. We usually call it Awakening.”Zhao Xue stood up and unbuttoned her shirt.
"Cough cough, you're... Hmm?" Li Xing was a little flustered by Zhao Xue's actions, but when he saw her slender waist, he was shocked by the shocking reality." You, your wounds?”
"Tough. To put it bluntly, when you receive a non-fatal injury, you can accelerate the metabolism of your cells and heal the wound in a short period of time. After using this ability, one's body would be very weak. If one used it frequently, there was a risk of sudden death.”
"Your ability is the same. You need to remember one thing. It's better to do less of this kind of overdraft of vitality.
According to the name on the PC, your awakened ability should be
