C218 Return Journey
"That's right, that zombie, ah, no, it's a Strong Corpse. A Strong Corpse is almost 2.5 meters tall, just its fangs alone are 10 centimeters. Those claws are almost reaching the ground!"
The night had already covered this small cove, but it did not cover Yang Ze's restless heart.
Yang Ze danced around the campfire as he explained loudly to Lee Hu and Zhang Fei. At the same time, he imitated the movements of the Strong Corpse. There were two wooden sticks in his mouth and a few stalks of withered grass in his hands.
Even the resolute Wang Yi was amused by Yang Ze's appearance. He hugged Xiao Xiangya tightly, she was no longer in her previous body state.
An hour ago, Wang Yi and Yang Ze had just come back. After a short break, Wang Yi washed the dark red Glycosylated Meat with alcohol, intending to feed it to Xiao Xiangya.
But who knew that Xiao Xiangya would reject it, saying that she would not eat it, and did not take it out from the Strong Corpse's head out of disdain. Instead, she said that the Glycosylated Meat would shine, that it was pretty, and that it would be left as a gem to hang around her neck.
Wang Yi got anxious the moment he heard that. For the sake of the Glycosylated Meat, Wang Yi was almost killed by the Strong Corpse's claws. If it was as Xiao Xiangya wished, then after twelve hours, even this dark red Glycosylated Meat would lose its effects, just like ordinary Glycosylated Meat.
He hadn't even been willing to eat it and left it for Xiao Xiangya, but this silly woman actually said she wouldn't eat it! This annoyed Wang Yi greatly.
Ignoring Xiao Xiangya's objection, Wang Yi personally opened Xiao Xiangya's lips and stuffed the dark red Glycosylated Meat into her mouth little by little.
Zhang Fei and the other two looked at Wang Yi who was persuading them in a friendly manner one second ago. In the next second, he started to use violence. They couldn't help but turn their heads around in unison, pretending they didn't see anything.
The three of them were not stupid. With Wang Yi and Xiao Xiangya's current condition, everyone knew that the two of them were probably related. However, since they were not, the three of them were not sure.
Ignoring Xiao Xiangya's objection, Wang Yi forced himself to stuff the Glycosylated Meat into Xiao Xiangya's mouth. Afterwards, he held Xiao Xiangya's chin to prevent her from vomiting the Glycosylated Meat.
Xiao Xiangya just ate the dark red Glycosylated Meat like that, feeling wronged. After about half an hour, Xiao Xiangya had completely absorbed the effects of the Glycosylated Meat and her soft body had also changed.
Under the astonished gaze of Wang Yi and the others, Xiao Xiangya's limp body started from her four limbs and slowly returned to normal, just like a snake that suddenly grew four limbs and stood up on the spot. Xiao Xiangya also did the same as if nothing had happened, circling around the fire twice, then sat beside Wang Yi, pulling Wang Yi's arm, naturally burying her body in Wang Yi's bosom.
However, they didn't say anything. After all, they had already seen Xiao Xiangya's lifeless body. How could they be afraid of a normal Xiao Xiangya?
Seeing that it was almost time, he told Lee Hu that he must get up and take the Glycosylated Meat at night. Then, he brought Xiao Xiangya with him to a pile of weeds at the side and spread out the sleeping bag under the thin blanket. The two of them laid down together very naturally.
Zhang Fei and Yang Ze looked at each other as if they were communicating through their eyes. Only when Lee Hu sneezed did Zhang Fei and Yang Ze wake up from their deep communication. With a push and a tug, the three of them moved into the tent.
The tents weren't small. With a small crowd, it was possible to accommodate these three people.
Without the help of firewood, the fire was extinguished slowly. The three people in the tent also gradually fell asleep due to their exhausted bodies. As for Wang Yi, he kept tossing and turning; he could not fall asleep no matter what.
It was because what happened today was too sudden and the Mutant Zombie appeared earlier than expected, causing Wang Yi to almost fail. Furthermore, Xiao Xiangya's strange superpower made Wang Yi think for a long time, and he kept guessing.
Wang Yi had met many Adepts in his past life — purification, healing, mental strength, and even an Adept who could increase his physical fitness by three times in an instant. Wang Yi had met quite a few Adepts in his past life — purification, healing, mental strength, and even an Adept who could increase his physical qualities by three times in an instant.
Wang Yi looked at Xiao Xiangya who was lying on his chest. He couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps he felt the sudden rise and fall of Wang Yi's chest, Xiao Xiangya slowly raised her face and looked at Wang Yi with sleepy eyes.
"Sleep, sleep. I will stay here. I won't leave."
Wang Yi said softly as he reached out to touch a strand of Xiao Xiangya's long hair.
Xiao Xiangya then buried her head in Wang Yi's chest. Her shoulders slightly moved, like Wang Yi stretching out his slender and delicate hand.
How could Wang Yi not understand Xiao Xiangya's meaning? He held it lightly and felt the scabby wound on her palm. Wang Yi was secretly surprised.
After all, Xiao Xiangya had just become a level one mutated human. Her injuries were healing faster than Wang Yi in her previous life.
A cool breeze blew across Wang Yi's face, interrupting his thoughts. Accompanying the slight chill in the wind, Wang Yi slowly closed his eyes.
Since he could not understand, then he might as well not think about it. Since the apocalypse and rebirth had happened, what else could not happen?
Two days later, in the morning at the col.
After two days of recuperation, Lee Hu's injuries were finally healed. Although it was not quick, it did not affect his journey.0
Wang Yi had been out for three whole days. No one knew what was going on in the prison, and with the appearance of the Mutant Zombie, it made Wang Yi even more worried.
There were only two bottles of mineral water and quite a lot of beef jerky. It was because Wang Yi and the others had been eating the meat of the Mutant Python the last two days. Other than these, there were also some things Xiao Xiangya had, such as tents, sleeping bags, and blankets.
A few of them were carrying all these things on their backs. Just as they were about to leave, they found that Xiao Xiangya had disappeared without a trace.
This was the first time Xiao Xiangya left Wang Yi's sight in these two days.
"Bro Yi, elder sister Ya is missing. Did she go over there?"
Zhang Fei pointed at the bushes on the hillside and asked Wang Yi hesitantly.
Wang Yi nodded. Her daughter was buried behind the bushes.
He gestured to the few of them to wait for him and walked towards the hillside.
As expected, Xiao Xiangya's skinny body stood in front of the smiling face, her slender fingers gently caressing the tombstone that Wang Yi set up.
"Xiangya …"
Wang Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort this poor woman.
Xiao Xiangya's thin shoulders trembled as she suddenly turned around and stared blankly at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi walked slowly to Xiao Xiangya. He looked at her red and swollen eyes and subconsciously reached out to hug her.
"I'll bring you back to see her."
