Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

"We're just gossiping, you don't have to take it so seriously."

Chu Yi was frightened by his 'eager to try' expression and regretted his slip of the tongue. He must have been infected by hanging out with Jian Cheng and Liao Yu for too long.

After thinking for a while, he reminded:

"I just thought of it suddenly and made a joke. Don't tell Cheng Jing, or I'm afraid he'll beat me."

It’s over. Does this count as making dirty jokes to Jiang Nian?

If it was someone else, it wouldn't be a big problem. Men are always a little tongue-tied, but Jiang Nian is different...

"It's okay, it's just a joke. I won't tell Brother Jing."

Jiang Nian smiled and waved his hands. He was not the kind of person who liked to complain. What was there to say? Just do it.

As a man of action, I will give it a try when I go back this time.

"..."

Another half an hour passed, and Jiang Nian withdrew his supernatural power. After discovering that Cheng Jing's thunder and fire were not out of control and were still slowly converging, he and Chu Yi walked out of the range of thunder and fire and released their teammates.

After learning that the eldest brother's condition was stable, everyone set up camp and cooked while waiting.

Chu Yi took out a set of uniforms, Liao Yu provided cold water, Jiang Nian gave a bar of soap, and Gao Xuyang changed his hospital gown after taking a shower, and took the initiative to put on a collar to suppress his supernatural powers.

The women and children were left to the care of the soldiers in the corps, who provided them with water, hot meals, and laundry supplies, and Huang Qian assisted in taking care of them.

As for Qi Laoer and his accomplices, it would be fine if they are not dead. There is nothing we can do if they are dead.

At this point, the mission of Guanshan Prison has been basically completed.

Chu Yi specially found a larger backpack from the team's combat supplies to carry rations for Teacher Gao.

The crystal cores that Gao Xuyang originally stored in the iron bucket were all supernatural crystal cores. After discussing with him, Yang Kai replaced them with ordinary zombie crystal cores.

Because the supernatural crystal core will be more useful if it is kept.

Yang Kai washed and dried a small pile of crystal cores, and asked Jiang Nian to purify them before putting them into Gao Xuyang's backpack. He also asked him to wash all the crystal cores he would eat in the future.

Gao Xuyang was very silent, and looked as if he didn't want to be approached by strangers, but he was very easy to communicate with and he agreed with everything Yang Kai said.

After changing clothes, he quietly followed Yang Kai like a human tail.

"Yang Kai..."

After a simple dinner, everyone sat in front of their respective tents. Gao Xuyang, who had just finished eating the crystal core, came back from rinsing his mouth, walked over to Yang Kai and sat down, extending his hand:

"Can you...cut my nails...?"

"of course can."

Yang Kai readily agreed and without saying a word took out a nail clipper from his bag to cut his nails.

Gao Xuyang's ten fingers were slender and well-proportioned, and looked good even though they were cold and thin. Unfortunately, after the mutation, his nails became sharp and hard, making it a bit difficult to cut them. Yang Kai simply used a dagger to cut them and then polished them to be round and smooth.

After trimming his nails, Gao Xuyang put on full-finger gloves that fit tightly against his skin, leaving only the area above his neck exposed.

He is not afraid of heat or cold, and if he wears a helmet, you can hardly tell that he is a zombie if you don't look carefully.

Fastening his gloves, Gao Xuyang took the initiative to shake Yang Kai's hand:

"This way... I won't have to worry about scratching you..."

Yang Kai took the opportunity to hold his hand tightly:

"Actually, I'm not afraid even if I get scratched. Jiang Nian is very powerful. He can heal people who are infected but not rotten or mad..."

Then he told him about Jiang Nian's supernatural attributes, and finally said:

"Once we get back to the base and stabilize ourselves, let's let Jiang Nian purify you, okay? I know you don't like it, but your body will recover more easily after purification."

After saying that, he waved to Jiang Nian who was looking at them not far away.

Facing his partner's sincere hopeful expression, Gao Xuyang couldn't find a reason to refuse, and nodded without thinking too long:

"it is good."

This dislike can be overcome, and the lover will not harm him.

"Teacher Gao, Brother Kai."

Jiang Nian sat down next to them carelessly, and after learning what they were discussing, he made some additions, including how Tang Ji recovered from the infection.

"..."

Although Gao Xuyang instinctively rejected purification, he felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

The three of them chatted while observing Cheng Jing's supernatural powers.

In order to help Gao Xuyang purify himself later, Jiang Nian asked a lot of questions about his physical condition and discussed with Yang Kai:

"I have an idea. Teacher Gao is at a higher level than ordinary zombies. He can heal himself if he is injured or infected by other zombies. In other words, Teacher Gao has antibodies to low-level zombie viruses..."

"If a normal person is infected by Teacher Gao and then recovers, will the antibodies produced be stronger? Or, if Teacher Gao's self-healing properties are added to the antidote serum, can it fight against zombie viruses below the zombie king level?"

The relationship between the zombie king and ordinary zombies is absolutely suppressive. The antibodies in Gao Xuyang's body may be deadly and poisonous to ordinary zombies.

It sounds a bit contradictory, but it is not impossible. It is just like some plants whose flowers and leaves are highly poisonous, but their roots and stems can detoxify.

In his previous life, he had only heard of the power of the Corpse King, but no one had been able to catch one to study, and any battle would result in a life-and-death struggle, so this possibility had never been verified.

Now that they have Gao Xuyang, maybe they have gained a "new hope"?

"Try it... there's blood."

Yang Kai was still thinking when Gao Xuyang spoke first.

The blood in his body was still flowing slowly, it was thick and not coagulated, so it could be used.

Such blood also made his heartbeat, pulse and organ functions almost stop. He was not completely dead, but he was not alive either. He was delicately walking on the line between life and death.

Others cannot feel it with their bare hands, only he can feel it, and perhaps some sophisticated instruments can also sense it.

"Then try it when you go back for a routine checkup."

Yang Kai also thought it was feasible and the result could be known from a tube of blood.

"..."

As the conversation deepened, Gao Xuyang could see that Yang Kai trusted Jiang Nian very much and also wanted to recover as soon as possible.

So, after some hesitation, he took the initiative to ask Jiang Nian to try using purification on him.

The pain he hadn't felt for a long time made him almost unable to control himself and want to scream in less than a minute.

The purifying energy penetrated everywhere, permeating into his spiritual consciousness, awakening his numb five senses, and helping him temporarily regain the pain that only humans can feel...

This is something that neither physical injury nor medicine can do.

"Teacher Gao, are you okay?"

Yang Kai supported the person, his face full of worry.

"It's alright... I'm fine."

Gao Xuyang covered his head and sat back down. Even if it was only for a short time, it would be effective. After the severe pain, his sluggish brain would feel a sense of relief, even if it was only short-lived.

Jiang Nian retracted his supernatural power and said:

"Mr. Gao's body has undergone a high-level transformation into a corpse due to the virus, so the purification will be very painful. You will recover after you get through it, but it will take a long time."

The longer you endure, the better the purification effect will be. The beginning is always difficult.

Yang Kai hid his lost smile and said:

"It's okay. As long as there's hope, it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."

He was ready to wait and accompany her for the rest of his life.

Jiang Nian said it in a subtle way, what he actually meant was that Gao Xuyang had completely transformed into a corpse, but just wouldn't rot, so the purification was so painful.

People should not be too greedy. It is good enough when the originally hopeless fantasy turns into hope.

Gao Xuyang nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Yang Kai steadily without saying anything else.

Under the illumination of the thunder and fire in the air and the camping lantern next to him, Jiang Nian actually saw concentration in his gray and lifeless eyes.
