His pale complexion did nothing to hide his refined air. Instead, it added a somewhat fragile quality to him. He looked more like a teacher than a soldier.
“Nan Xing, hurry and save him! He’s the helper I found for you!”
Heavenly Dao’s childish voice frantically cried out in her mind.
Nan Xing’s brow twitched. She couldn’t help cursing inwardly.
“What kind of person sends a dying man as a helper?”
Seeing the gloomy expression on Nan Xing’s face, Nan Tang’s heart immediately tightened. His voice trembled.
“Grandmaster Uncle, you can’t save him either?”
“Move!”
Nan Xing pushed him aside. She took out a detoxification pill from her storage bag and divided it into four pieces. She handed one piece to Wen Ye.
“Feed it to him!”
“Grandmaster Uncle, this little bit definitely isn’t enough. Give him some more!”
Seeing the pain on Shen Huaixu’s face gradually disappear, Nan Tang understood that the medicine was effective. But how could such a tiny piece be enough? Surely more would be better.
Smack!
Nan Xing raised her hand and slapped the back of Nan Tang’s head.
Gritting her teeth, she explained, “If he takes even a little more, his body will explode!”
Nan Tang gave an awkward smile. He rubbed the back of his head while grimacing in pain.
“Grandmaster Uncle, could you hit somewhere else next time?”
Nan Xing gave him a cold look.
“No!”
Her heart ached faintly.
She hadn’t even obtained her helper yet, and she had already lost a detoxification pill.
No.
She absolutely couldn’t let these people slip away.
These people were the key to her living leisurely in the Apocalypse.
“Grandmaster Uncle, hurry and see what’s wrong with Captain Shen!”
Nan Tang saw Shen Huaixu’s face suddenly turn bright red. Smoke began rising from the top of his head, and his entire body looked like a boiled shrimp as he curled up in pain.
He hurriedly called for help.
“He has too much energy inside his body. He just needs help circulating it properly!”
Nan Xing quickly crouched down and took Shen Huaixu’s wrist to check his pulse.
“Hold him steady!”
She sat cross-legged opposite him.
Her slender jade-like hands glowed faintly as they moved back and forth over Shen Huaixu’s upper body. That force washed through his body before finally returning to his dantian.
Nan Tang and the other three exchanged glances.
They suspected that Nan Xing was taking advantage of the opportunity to touch him.
After all, Shen Huaixu had delicate and handsome features. His refined air also carried a hint of sharpness, making him very attractive.
They had seen plenty of girls throw themselves at him.
Shen Huaixu slowly regained consciousness.
He felt a warm current flowing through his body along the markings that had been drawn, eventually settling in his abdomen.
His whole body felt warm and comfortable, like basking in the sun on a winter day.
When he sensed that the warmth was about to disappear, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop it.
Instead, his hand touched something soft.
His eyes immediately opened.
A peerlessly beautiful face appeared before his eyes.
He gradually became lost in those clean, crystal-clear and lively eyes.
His heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
“Let go!”
Nan Xing forcefully pulled Shen Huaixu’s hand away.
She stood up and lazily sat down to the side, propping her chin on her hand as she stared at him with interest.
She hadn’t expected him to already have spiritual energy inside his body.
“Captain Shen, you’re awake!”
Nan Tang threw his arms around Shen Huaixu, crying tears of joy.
Shen Huaixu frowned and pushed him away.
“Who was that person just now?”
Nan Tang excitedly told him everything that had happened.
Shen Huaixu stood up and slowly walked over to Nan Xing. He bowed deeply.
“Thank you for saving us and for helping me upgrade my ability.”
Nan Xing calmly raised her eyes and glanced at him.
“I mainly saved Nan Tang. You were just an extra.”
“Captain Shen, your ability has reached Level Two!”
Nan Tang exclaimed happily.
He quickly ran over and sat beside Nan Xing. He pointed at everyone and introduced them one by one.
“This is Shen Huaixu, Captain Shen. The one with the smiling face is Wen Ye, Captain Wen. The rough-looking one is Lifeng. The carefree one is Jiangzhou.”
Nan Xing followed his finger and looked around at them before calmly nodding.
“I am Nan Xing, the eighty-sixth-generation disciple of the Nanjí Sect!”
“Grandmaster Uncle, what about my meeting gift?”
Nan Tang shamelessly asked with a face full of anticipation, completely forgetting that Nan Xing had already told him she had crushed his gift.
It would be great if Grandmaster Uncle gave him the pill she had just used. Then he wouldn’t have to worry about the zombie virus.
“Didn’t I already say that I crushed it?”
Nan Xing gave him a disdainful glance.
Then her bright eyes turned slightly.
“But Grandmaster Uncle is in a good mood, so I’ll prepare another gift for you!”
“What is it?”
Nan Tang’s eyes lit up slightly as he spread out his hands.
He deliberately muttered under his breath, “It would be great if it were the pill that could cure the zombie virus.”
Nan Xing helplessly let out a dry laugh.
She placed her right index and middle fingers together while curling the other fingers inward. She pressed them against Nan Tang’s forehead and transmitted a Nanjí Sect cultivation technique to him.
“Take this.”
Nan Xing withdrew her hand and tossed a bottle of pills into his arms.
“Lose it and there won’t be another one!”
With that little scheme of his, wasn’t he deliberately saying it for her to hear?
With both pills and a cultivation technique, she didn’t believe they wouldn’t take the bait themselves.
“I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?”
Nan Xing rubbed her stomach and asked Shen Huaixu.
There were no fasting pills in her storage bag. On top of that, she had just expended a great deal of energy, so she was already starving.
Shen Huaixu waved his hand.
Wen Ye and the other two ran over and sat around them in a circle.
Wen Ye pulled six self-heating hot pots and bottles of mineral water out of thin air and distributed them to everyone.
“A storage bag?”
Nan Xing looked at the food in confusion.
Wen Ye shook his head.
“No. It’s a spatial ability.”
“Grandmaster Uncle, I’m an earth-type ability user. Captain Shen is a lightning-type ability user. Lifeng is a wind-type ability user. Jiangzhou is a fire-type ability user. His family used to be a family of imperial chefs, and he’s an amazing cook!”
Nan Tang seemed to have worked himself up an appetite as he silently swallowed.
Nan Xing’s eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Jiangzhou.
She had always enjoyed eating back in the cultivation world.
Unfortunately, everyone was devoted to cultivation. The food they ate was not only simple, but its taste was even worse than fasting pills.
She never expected that she would be able to enjoy delicious food after coming to this different world.
Suddenly, the food in her hands was taken away.
She looked up and saw Shen Huaixu place the prepared portion in front of her before making another one for himself.
“Thank you!”
Nan Xing had no desire to do the work herself, so she accepted it without the slightest hesitation.
She turned to Nan Tang.
“How did you end up here?”
“Our mission this time is to go to the Beijing Institute of Biology to find Doctor Lu Zhehan. He may have research materials related to the zombie virus.”
Seeing Shen Huaixu give a slight nod, Nan Tang told her everything without holding anything back.
His eyes rolled around before he gritted his teeth and complained.
“If we hadn’t encountered a group of people who deliberately lured zombies toward us along the way, Captain Shen wouldn’t have ended up unconscious.”
“Cultivate the technique I gave you properly. Next time you encounter them, fight back!”
A trace of coldness flashed through Nan Xing’s eyes.
“The second rule of the Nanjí Sect is: revenge must be taken!”
Nan Tang nodded heavily and asked curiously, “Grandmaster Uncle, what’s the first rule?”
Nan Xing smelled the spicy aroma rising from the food. It was intensely stimulating her taste buds, and her eyes were fixed directly on the self-heating hot pot.
She answered absentmindedly, “No one is allowed to bully a disciple of the Nanjí Sect!”
“To put it simply, we’re protective of our own. Other people might say that if you hit the younger one, the older one will come. But if you provoke the Nanjí Sect, it won’t just be the older one coming. The entire sect will come out!”
“Then why did only Grandmaster Uncle come this time?”
Nan Tang asked in confusion.
Nan Xing saw Shen Huaixu start eating. She immediately picked up her own food and took a bite.
Her eyes instantly lit up.
She nodded in satisfaction and then became completely absorbed in the delicious food.
“Because they’ve all ascended to the Divine Realm.”
Only after she had eaten to her heart’s content did she explain to Nan Tang.
Her eyes were filled with pride.
“So don’t panic when something happens. We have people backing us up!”
After saying this, she secretly observed the expressions of Shen Huaixu and the others.
The corners of her lips curled into an unfriendly smile.
She had already shown them all the benefits of joining the Nanjí Sect.
Now, all she needed to do was sit back and wait for the fish to take the bait.
