The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 26 Night
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Zhang Yuqi's voice was a little weak. She squeezed into Huo Ying's room, then quickly closed the door. Leaning against the door panel, Zhang Yuqi slowly slid down to the ground.

"It's just exhaustion and minor injuries. With my physique, I can recover in one night. I can't go home, otherwise Sister Bai will nag me again when she sees me. You know she won't say nice things even if she cares..." Zhang Yuqi explained while taking out a cloth bag from her arms, but before she opened the bag, she was stunned.

The originally empty room had a stove made of dozens of yang stones in the middle. Poplar wood was burning under the stove, and a pot was placed on top, stewing fragrant potato soup.

Next to the stove, there was a table and two chairs, and on the table was a ticking clock.

"You, recently..." Zhang Yuqi struggled to organize her words and smiled, "Your life is pretty good."

"Well, I'm fine." Huo Ying looked at Zhang Yuqi's wound and asked, "Were you attacked by an infected person?"

Lifting the bucket from the corner, Huo Ying said, "I don't have much survival experience, and I don't know how to help you. This is purified water, and I don't know if you can use it. Or, do you need anything else, a bandage? My clothes are clean, do you think they can be used?"

Huo Ying tore off half of his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Yuqi. His clothes were all disinfected by Liang Yao herself. Although they were not as good as bandages, they were many times cleaner than Zhang Yuqi's own clothes.

Zhang Yuqi took the cloth strip but did not use it. She just put it in her arms and said, "It won't be needed for such a small injury. It will recover in a while."

Zhang Yuqi was not joking. Huo Ying saw that the knife scar on her left arm was scabbing over little by little, but as the wound healed quickly, Zhang Yuqi's face turned even paler.

Gulu.

Huo Ying was stunned, and Zhang Yuqi's face turned red.

"I just cooked some potatoes. Would you like to eat some?"

"it is good."

Zhang Yuqi didn't refuse, but she didn't stand up either.

Seeing this, Huo Ying walked forward and helped Zhang Yuqi up.

After helping Zhang Yuqi sit on the chair, Huo Ying took out a wooden spoon and a wooden bowl from the wooden barrel beside him, and filled a large bowl of stewed potatoes for Zhang Yuqi and another bowl for himself.

“I might have eaten a little too much.”

Zhang Yuqi blinked, and then without being polite or caring about her image, she scooped a big spoonful of potatoes in front of Huo Ying, and then gulped it down with the hot potato soup. In just two or three mouthfuls, the big bowl of potato soup was finished.

Huo Ying observed that as Zhang Yuqi ate, the scar on her shoulder healed faster, but after Zhang Yuqi finished a bowl of potato soup, the healing rate stopped.

It turns out that the infection Zhang Yuqi received did not enhance her strength and reaction, but her absorption and transformation.

The explosive power and speed of Zhang Yuqi when killing the wild dog were also related to absorption. It was her body that converted nutrients into speed and strength, not that her speed and strength were directly enhanced by the virus.

The two look the same, but it is obvious that Zhang Yuqi's growth ceiling will be higher as long as she is given enough resources.

"What are you looking at."

Zhang Yuqi filled another bowl and then gave Huo Ying a blank look. She knew Huo Ying was looking at her wound, but she had no intention of hiding it and did not mind exposing her abilities.

"I was wondering how I chose you as my girlfriend before I lost my memory."

Huo Ying sighed. He didn't know Zhang Yuqi would come tonight, so he didn't stew too many potatoes. Now, the iron pot has been eaten up by Zhang Yuqi. After making a joke, Huo Ying stood up and picked up a wooden barrel, opened the lid, took out a dozen potatoes, and then used Liang Yao's sterilized kitchen knife to peel and cut them into pieces. After Zhang Yuqi cleaned the pot, he put new potatoes in.

Zhang Yuqi was extremely angry. She took Huo Ying's bowl. Her own bowl was empty and the food in the pot was not yet cooked. She then grabbed Huo Ying's potato soup.

"Before you lost your memory, I was the one who supported you." Zhang Yuqi finished another bowl of potato soup. The knife wound on her left arm was almost healed.

Huo Yingyu paused, then he remembered that there was no sacred tree in his previous life, and Zhang Yuqi was an infected person, so, his previous life was most likely just a gigolo who lived on Zhang Yuqi.

After joking, Zhang Yuqi smiled, but her eyes were a little sad: "You can get so many things, so you also got an infectious disease."

Zhang Yuqi is happy that Huo Ying has contracted an infectious disease, so he has a certain ability to protect himself. But she is sad that the infectious disease will break out one day, and Huo Ying's life is destined to be as short as hers.

Huo Ying did not deny it, and Zhang Yuqi picked up the package she had placed on the ground with regret.

"I came back late." Zhang Yuqi opened the package, revealing a brand new syringe and a sealed bottle of blue liquid.

"This is an inhibitor. After injection, people who have not been infected will not be infected by Yangshi radiation within a year. I wanted to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to be infected." Zhang Yuqi took a look at the stove made of Yangshi: "The more Yangshi that are roasted red, the better the effect of driving away the zombies, but the disadvantage is also obvious. Normal people will soon get infected, and the infected will also cause the virus to break out prematurely due to the large amount of Yangshi used."

"After tonight, you can switch to ordinary stones. The more Yang stones, the better."

"You haven't seen me for so many days and you're injured, just to get this for me?"

The wariness in Huo Ying's heart gradually dissipated.

The person who harmed me should not be Zhang Yuqi.

"Daishang, did you snatch the inhibitor from someone else for me?"

If it weren't for the sacred tree, Huo Ying would just be a burden, a person who wanted to harm him. There was no need to be so attentive to such a burden.

Also, the weakness that Zhang Yuqi revealed when she entered the room and leaned against the door was a reaction that only comes after she takes off her disguise when seeing her relatives.

"I didn't steal it. I bought it with supplies."

Zhang Yuqi hurriedly explained that she was afraid that Huo Ying would think she was the kind of person who would kill and rob.

"I saved this for a long time before I exchanged it with someone from XN City, but somehow, I was targeted by the exiles in the wild."

"Most of the exiles are bandits. The XN City Investigation Team has records of these people and will not let them into the city. They also have no skills and cannot obtain the runes to dispel the mirage, so they can only wander around the suburbs."

"I was unlucky. I was caught by the Exile during the transaction." Zhang Yuqi frowned. It was obvious that there were many hidden secrets here, but Zhang Yuqi didn't want to talk about it.

and many more.

Huo Ying heard the key words and asked hurriedly, "What is a mirage, and what is a dispelling rune? You mean, all the exiles are lost in the suburbs?"

Huo Ying thought about how he was bewitched by the corpse ghost. The corpse ghost had no power to modify his vision and touch. It was obvious that this matter was related to the mirage.
