Lu Xia was still awake when she returned.
Su Yu hid behind Xie Wei and breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to face her.
The system quickly pounced on her: "Meow!"
[Host, you are back! 】
Su Yu reached out to catch it and rubbed the system's furry head: "Well, I'm back." 】
In the evening, the doctor came again to change Lu Xia's dressing and check her injuries.
Seeing that the zombie virus had disappeared, the doctor smiled and said: "I'm recovering well, but be careful not to get wet during this period and don't move too much to avoid the wound opening."
The recovery ability of superpowers is better than that of ordinary people.
For a normal person, the shoulder was pierced, and it is not known whether the arm can grow back. It may be useless or become disabled, but for a person with superpowers, as long as it does not hurt any vital parts, it is basically not considered an injury.
"Then why isn't she awake yet?" Ye Jinshu asked.
The doctor replied: "Maybe it's too painful and triggers the body's self-protection mechanism."
As the saying goes, the pain makes you faint.
The doctor thought for a moment and injected Lu Xia with an analgesic.
"If you were in the base, you could find someone with healing powers to treat you, but unfortunately there are none here."
Healing power users are even rarer than space power users, and can only be found in a few large bases.
When the doctor changed Lu Xia's dressing, everyone saw the wound on her shoulder. It was such a big bloody hole that it hurt to look at it.
Xu Yao bared his teeth, as if he could feel the same.
Zhao Shuming couldn't bear to look away.
Su Yu couldn't tell whether she was guilty or guilty, so she hid behind Xie Wei and didn't dare to look.
As for Xie Wei, when he saw the wound, his heart tightened, and he felt a sense of unethical rejoicing that it was not Su Yu who was injured.
At night, the two of them were lying on the bed.
The star lamp in the tent was taken out and hung on the bedside of the hotel. The warm yellow star lamp emitted a faint light, and two human figures bulged out of the soft fluffy quilt. Su Yu was lying in Xie Wei's arms, unable to sleep no matter what.
Su Yu called softly: "Senior."
"Um?"
Xie Wei didn't sleep either.
Su Yu struggled for a while and decided to start the conversation with the least likely topic: "What should I do with those things in my space?"
Su Yu was talking about the grain inside.
Obviously, with so much food, the few remaining pickup trucks would definitely not be able to load it all, and there was no fourth space superpower in the convoy, so they could only load it in her space.
"They just let me go. Aren't they afraid that I would run away with the food?"
In the warm yellow light, Su Yu faintly heard a chuckle.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about it." Xie Wei said.
"oh."
Recalling the laughter carefully, Su Yu had a stupefied face and realized in hindsight, was it a joke?
System: [Host, the hero is insulting your character. 】
Su Yu retorted: [No, he was just laughing at my strength. 】
System: [...Is there any difference? 】
Su Yu's face was serious: "There is a difference. It will make you feel better if you say this." 】
system:【……】
Of course the military would not be so hasty. In fact, they had mentioned that they wanted Su Yu to stay, saying that they had enough manpower to provide better living conditions and protect Su Yu.
But both parties knew it well, and surveillance was more appropriate.
Xie Wei refused.
The military decided to do the next best thing and proposed implanting a positioning chip in Su Yu's arm. They repeatedly promised that it would only be used for positioning and would be taken out when they arrived at the base.
Xie Wei still refused.
The two parties were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was very tense.
In the final analysis, it was the military's fault. They considered this matter before inviting Su Yu, but they never thought that Xie Wei and the others would not accept these two methods of handling it.
There is another way, that is to detain Su Yu by force, but it is not cost-effective to offend a strong man and a space power user for this.
The final result was that both parties took a step back, and the positioning chip was implanted in Xie Wei's arm, and he had to ensure that it could not be removed or damaged without permission, and ensure Su Yu's safety until she arrived at the base safely.
Su Yu didn't know any of this.
After being quiet for a long time, Su Yu turned over and faced Xie Wei: "Senior, are you still angry now?"
Su Yu recalled the bloody hole on Lu Xia's shoulder, and her body trembled slightly: "I really didn't think too much at the time, and it wasn't intentional. I was just too scared."
Until this moment, she was still making excuses for herself.
Su Yu hugged Xie Wei tightly: "Senior, will you forgive me?"
Xie Wei felt that this sentence should be more suitable to be said to Lu Xia.
He patted Su Yu on the back to avoid the question: "Go to sleep."
I don't know how long it took, but Su Yu's breathing gradually became even and long, but Xie Wei couldn't fall asleep.
It's not that she was angry as Su Yu said, she was just a little panicked. The panic in Su Yu's heart was that she was no different from Lu Xia. They were both people who could be pushed out to stop the zombies at any time.
The scene in the dream plays out in my mind over and over again.
Xie Wei's eyes became darker and darker, and many images flashed through his mind. Sometimes he was pushed down on the bed by that man when he was a child, and sometimes his mother blamed him for knocking out his stepfather, but turned a blind eye to his injuries.
He once thought he would live in darkness forever.
But someone pulled him out, and she was bathed in light, forcefully breaking into his world and dispelling the shadows on his body.
Xie Wei couldn't accept being abandoned again.
He might go crazy.
Neither Su Yu nor the system noticed in her sleep that the task progress bar almost jumped to the top for a moment, but only for a moment before it quickly fell back to the 75% position.
…
Su Yu also had a dream.
In her dream, she fell into a lake. The water was very clear and warm. She opened her eyes and looked around confusedly, slowly sinking.
A string of bubbles came out of her mouth, but surprisingly, she didn't feel suffocated and could breathe underwater like a fish.
The clothes on my body are floating in the water, trying not to fall off but hanging on my body.
Suddenly, the water flow started to flow rapidly.
She couldn't control the direction, and was rushed into a hug by the water. The hug was not generous, a little thin, and had a bit of coolness. She couldn't help shivering.
The long hair is scattered like seaweed, soft and elegant.
In that embrace, Su Yu slowly turned her head, and a delicate and picturesque face came into view.
She whispered in a low voice: "Sister Mermaid?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the mermaid's face looked a little ugly, and she was speechless.
The mermaid's voice is also very nice.
"Don't move, I'll carry you up."
Su Yu stared blankly at the mermaid's face and suddenly reached out to touch her: "Strange, why do I think you look familiar?"
The mermaid glanced at her, ignored her, and continued swimming up.
Su Yu blinked: "Am I dreaming?"
The moment she left the water, Su Yu's hair and clothes were miraculously dry, and her hair lay softly on her shoulders, looking nothing like she had just come out of the water.
Su Yu whispered to herself: "I am indeed dreaming."
