Chapter 64 Rest
Having landed a successful attack, the lightning-type zombie raised its hand to unleash a second attack.
But Chi Heng would never give it that chance again.
A dazzling ball of light rapidly gathered in his palm.
Before the lightning-type zombie could unleash its second attack, it was casually tossed over.
The next moment, a holy white light shone brightly.
Amidst their agonizing roars, the lightning-type zombie vanished into thin air.
As expected, light-based superpowers are the best counter to zombies.
At the same time, the last earthen wall behind the two collapsed with a crash.
Before any of them could react.
The last shockwave from the explosion slammed into the two of them, throwing them high into the air.
Chi Heng held Yu Yao tightly in his arms, releasing his wind-based abilities to cushion the impact while turning himself down to act as a cushion.
A few breaths later, with a thud, the two landed heavily beside a flower bed in a small park.
That sound was the sound of Chi Heng's body being pierced by the extremely sharp metal fence that was only ten centimeters away from the edge of the flower bed.
With a low groan from Chi Heng, Yu Yao felt a shiver run through her heart.
Fighting off the overwhelming drowsiness, she propped up her groggy head and tried to help Chi Heng up.
It was pitch black all around; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
After Yu Yao helped Chi Heng sit up, Chi Heng gently raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
Then, a flame spontaneously combusted and playfully flew around the two of them.
With the light, Yu Yao also saw Chi Heng's pale face.
She quickly placed her hands on Chi Heng's back and, without hesitation, used her last bit of energy to heal him.
Chi Heng immediately stopped her, saying, "I'm fine, don't waste your superpower."
He was about to remove her hand when he said that.
Yu Yao grabbed his hand that was trying to stop her, and said weakly, "It's okay. In my current condition, I'm bound to fall asleep soon. The only way to protect me is to heal you, right?"
Chi Heng pursed his lips, knowing that she was saying that on purpose.
Last time she went to lure zombies, she said the same unpleasant things to Dongfang and Pingjing, trying to dispel their guilt.
As Yu Yao moved, Chi Heng could clearly feel a tingling warmth in his wounds, and even the areas burned by the lightning net were slowly healing.
Only when you experience it for yourself can you realize how amazing this power is.
A moment later, all of Chi Heng's wounds miraculously healed completely.
Yu Yao was also completely at her limit.
She let her hands fall limply to her sides, took out two "restoration pills" to replenish her energy and blood, and only managed to say, "These are for replenishing your energy and blood, here you go..."
She closed her eyes and fell straight into Chi Heng's arms.
Chi Heng looked at the little head on his chest, sighed softly, and threw two pills into his mouth.
They have clearly accepted the amazing feeling of their lost energy and blood being quickly replenished.
He carried Yu Yao in his arms, stood up steadily, and turned to walk towards a small Chinese-style pavilion on a rockery not far away.
The flame obediently followed beside him, illuminating his surroundings clearly and brightly.
......
Before the apocalypse, this place should have been a small tourist attraction.
There are some antique-style furniture on the first floor, and there is actually a heavily carved canopy bed on the second floor.
As soon as Chi Heng put Yu Yao on the bed, Mo Yu jumped out of the pet space, meowing.
Yu Yao doted on her, so she gave her the right to freely enter and exit the pet space.
Chi Heng looked at Mo Yu and said softly, "You've come?"
"Meow~"
"You're also a space-type user, so do you have space abilities?"
"Meow~" it nodded.
Are there any towels and water in the room?
Mo Yu nodded again.
The next moment, a bucket of mineral water without a lid, a clean small basin, and a towel appeared next to it.
Chi Heng was stunned for a moment, not expecting that just asking on a whim would actually get it out.
This was all thanks to Luo Mei. Before going to bed that night, Luo Mei got a lot of delicious food and toys for Mo Yu from Yu Yao.
Many of these were bottled water without lids, which could be drawn directly from the bucket.
There are clean, soft towels for wiping mouths and paws, and small bowls for eating.
Chi Heng looked at those things for a while before chuckling and softly praising, "You... are really great."
Mo Yu meowed, signaling him to stop faking it and hurry up and wipe her master clean!
Because she was blown away by the aftershocks of the explosion, Yu Yao's face inevitably had some dust on it.
In addition, she fell into a coma due to excessive energy use, so she did not sleep soundly, constantly frowning and sweating profusely.
This caused her usually clean and fair face, which looked like it had been filtered with a soft-focus beauty filter, to appear somewhat disheveled.
That beautiful cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, like a pearl covered in dust, had lost its luster.
Chi Heng seemed to understand what Mo Yu meant. He raised an eyebrow and obediently wet the handkerchief with mineral water.
He first stiffly helped Yu Yao straighten the messy stray hairs that were falling on her face.
Then he slowly cleaned the sweat and dirt off her face.
His movements were extremely light and gentle, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, as if he were afraid of scratching the girl's delicate skin.
Even just wiping his face took him several minutes to finish.
Mo Yu was so anxious that he wished he could grow two hands to take his place.
......
After wiping her face clean, Chi Heng carefully wiped Yu Yao's neck and hands as well.
They took off her shoes so she could sleep more comfortably.
After finishing everything, Chi Heng washed the towel and small basin.
Ignoring the fact that he was also covered in sweat, he breathed a sigh of relief, casually bent one leg and sat on the steps of the stepbed, and tried to contact his teammates through the mind group chat.
"A-Xian, Pingjing, are you there?"
Luo Mei: "Boss? How are you guys? Are you alright?"
Chi Heng: "We are safe, but Xiao Qi is exhausted and has fallen asleep."
Jiang Yi: "Why are you exhausted again? Is it serious?"
Chi Heng: "There are no major problems for now. Mo Yu and I are staying by her side. What about you? How is Dongfang?"
Qi Xian: "Second Brother hasn't woken up yet; he still has a fever."
Luo Mei: "Boss, where are you? We're coming to find you!"
Chi Heng: "You all find a safe place to rest first, guard the east, and we'll talk about the rest when it gets light."
Luo Mei: "I'm worried about A-Yao!"
Chi Heng: "With me... and Mo Yu here."
Luo Mei: "......"
I only feel at ease when you're around.
It's not that I don't trust Chi Heng, it's just that Chi Heng has never taken care of a girl since he was a child, he's a total straight man.
It's really hard for anyone to entrust Yu Yao to him with peace of mind.
However, it's unclear whether Qi Xian and the others persuaded Luo Mei to stay.
Luo Mei didn't say anything more after that.
Qi Xian and Jiang Yi each gave a few words of advice, urging them to be careful and take good care of Xiao Qi, and then fell silent.
......
Sensing their obvious distrust, Chi Heng pinched the bridge of his nose, turned his head, and looked at Yu Yao's small face, which still glowed brightly in the dim firelight.
My heart skipped a beat.
She is undoubtedly extremely beautiful.
Chi Heng considered himself well-traveled and knowledgeable, having met and seen quite a few beautiful women.
But I have never seen a more stunning and spirited beauty than Yu Yao.
When I first saw her, she was wielding two knives, weaving and dodging through the horde of zombies like a butterfly in flight, beautiful yet dangerous.
It made him take a second look.
Later, Luo Mei suggested that Chi Heng join the team, and Chi Heng naturally agreed.
And subconsciously, he felt he had to hold onto her and do everything in his power!
Sure enough, in just a few days, she became an indispensable member of the team.
When she deliberately made harsh remarks to tell Dongfang and Pingjing not to block her from making money, she risked her life to lure away half the city's zombies.
Or was it when she exhausted her supernatural powers to save Ah Xian, yet pretended to be relaxed?
Or perhaps it was on the night of the vigil, when she cautiously revealed her secret and showed that pure smile?
Chi Heng didn't know.
But that doesn't stop him from wanting to thank God and fate for letting them meet such great teammates and such a wonderful Xiao Qi.
"Meow~"
Mo Yu's cute voice suddenly rang out, waking Chi Heng from his reverie.
She was squatting on the edge of the canopy bed with her head tilted to the side, her lively cat eyes seeming to say: Go and rest if you're tired, I'm here for you.
Chi Heng was surprised that he could understand Mo Yu's subtext, but he still shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not tired, you go and rest."
"Meow?" Mo Yu tilted her head even further, seemingly surprised that he had rejected her.
However, she did not insist. Instead, she took out two unopened lollipops from her spatial storage and threw them at her feet.
Then it meowed twice, turned around and went back to Yu Yao's face, curled up into a small ball and fell asleep.
Chi Heng looked at the lollipop on the bed and recognized it as a type of candy that Yu Yao and Luo Mei often ate.
It must be a magical object.
Bored anyway, Chi Heng picked up a cigarette, opened it, and put it in his mouth.
After a moment, he fell silent once again.
“…Indeed, amazing~” Chi Heng murmured.
The warm orange flame flickered playfully before suddenly going out.
The world has returned to darkness once again.
In the darkness, only three shallow breaths could be heard...
