“Situ Yu’s ex-girlfriend?!” Mo Han felt completely confused inside. Situ Yu said he had only been in one relationship before, which meant the person he had been intimate with was this girl. Wait—why was his mind going in such a strange direction? It seemed like reading too many explicit novels had made him focus on weird things first.
After irresponsibly blaming everything on the novel, Mo Han silently scolded himself for having such impure thoughts. Then he adjusted his mood and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll check on her.”
Sun Xue had already fainted, her face pale. Even though she looked weak, she was still very beautiful, giving off a calm and gentle feeling. At first glance, she seemed like a quiet and kind girl. Mo Han couldn’t understand how someone like her could have dated someone like Situ Yu, who acted like a troublemaker. Situ Yu really wasted such a good girl. Still, the pairing of a quiet girl and a rebellious guy somehow felt oddly appealing. Mo Han’s thoughts wandered again.
After briefly checking Sun Xue’s injuries, Mo Han felt relieved. Her injuries were serious but not fatal. However, if she didn’t receive treatment in time, it could become dangerous.
He raised his hands, and a soft yellow healing energy appeared around them. Mo Han carefully guided the energy over Sun Xue’s body.
Among healing abilities, Mo Han’s power was considered high-level. While the healing speed was average, it could treat both internal and external injuries without leaving lasting damage. However, it couldn’t cure diseases. In the original story, there was a type of healing ability called “Ultimate Healing” that, at its highest level, could even bring people back to life. That was the strongest type of healing power.
Compared to the injuries Situ Yu once suffered, Sun Xue’s wounds were much lighter. The reason she fainted was mainly because her body was weak and her ability level was low—she was only a level-one ability user.
Because of her low level, Mo Han found it easier to treat her. Soon, he finished healing. After withdrawing the energy, he said, “Her injuries are fully healed. She should wake up soon.”
Situ Yu said gratefully, “Mo Han, thank you this time.”
Mo Han waved his hand. “It’s nothing. You probably still have things to talk about, right? I’ll go back first. Don’t forget to come back for dinner.” Without giving Situ Yu a chance to reply, Mo Han called Xue Ling and Xue Ying and left.
Xue Ling looked at Mo Han in confusion. It felt like Mo Han’s mood was a bit low. How to describe it? Mo Han’s current state was just like how Xue Ling felt when she saw Xue Ying’s father talking to other female dogs. Thinking of the male dog who died protecting them, Xue Ling felt sad again.
When Mo Han returned alone, Zhou Wu and the others were puzzled. “Mo Han, why are you back alone? Where’s Si Tu Yu?”
Mo Han replied gloomily, “Ask him when he comes back.” Then he dragged his feet into the house, followed by the equally low-spirited Xue Ling. Only Xue Ying, who knew nothing, was in a good mood. It happily followed them inside and even closed the door obediently.
Zhao Yan and Zhou Wu looked at each other, confused. They couldn’t figure out what happened, but one thing was clear—Mo Han and Xue Ling were not in a good mood.
After entering the room, Mo Han also felt that something was off with his emotions, but he shook his head and didn’t think too much about it.
At that moment, Liu Qing knocked on the door and asked, “Mo Han, have you eaten? Do you want me to cook something for you?”
Mo Han opened the door and said, “No need to trouble yourself, Sister Liu Qing. I’ll cook for myself.”
After making four portions of food, Mo Han didn’t feel like eating. He sat there feeding Xue Ying while waiting for Situ Yu to return.
Soon, Situ Yu came back. From inside the room, Mo Han heard Zhao Yan say, “Brother Yu, why are you so late? Mo Han is still waiting to eat with you.”
“Huh? I already ate at a friend’s place. Sun Xue, Zhao Qian, come in. Don’t stand outside.”
Before Situ Yu finished speaking, Xue Ling saw Mo Han expressionlessly pick up one portion of food, open the window, and throw it outside.
When Sun Xue and Zhao Qian entered, Zhou Wu and the others were surprised. Only Shen Yuan remained expressionless.
Zhao Yan and the others had followed Shen Yuan since before the apocalypse, so they naturally knew Sun Xue. She also recognized them. “Brother Shen Yuan, Xiao Wu, Sister Liu, Brother Zhao.”
Shen Yuan nodded calmly. He used to have a good impression of Sun Xue since she almost became his younger brother’s girlfriend. She was indeed a good girl. But thinking about how things ended between her and Situ Yu, that bit of goodwill disappeared.
Situ Yu said, “Brother Shen Yuan, Sun Xue and Zhao Qian want to join us. Sun Xue is a level-one water-type ability user, and Zhao Qian is also level one, with teleportation.”
Shen Yuan replied, “Water abilities may not have strong attack power, but they are useful for defense and practical use. Teleportation is also a good ability. I have no objections, but we should ask everyone else.”
Situ Yu nodded. “Okay, I’ll go ask them.”
Liu Qing added, “Oh right, Mo Han is still waiting to eat with you. You should go talk to him first.”
When Situ Yu entered the room, he saw Mo Han feeding Xue Ying. “Brother Han, Sister Liu Qing said you were waiting for me to eat.”
Mo Han glanced at him coldly. “Who said I was waiting for you? Can’t you see how many portions of food are on the table?”
There were only three portions left, but Mo Han had been back for a while—it was impossible he hadn’t eaten yet. However, since Mo Han didn’t want to bring it up, Situ Yu felt a bit guilty and didn’t point it out either. “Sun Xue and Zhao Qian want to join our team. Do you agree?”
Mo Han had no reason to refuse. Their abilities sounded useful. “Of course I agree. But remind them not to reveal that I have healing abilities.”
It wasn’t that Mo Han distrusted the team. It was because, soon, human experiments would begin. Healers were especially valuable targets. In the original story, Mo Han had already died before being captured, but Lin Yue suffered a lot after being taken. Mo Han had to be cautious.
Situ Yu nodded. “I’ve already told them. They won’t say anything.”
The others didn’t object to Sun Xue and Zhao Qian joining. After all, more people meant more strength, and they weren’t useless. So, their addition to the team happened naturally.
