The moment Zhang Yuan, Pei Yixie, and Yin Yusheng rejoined the team, they no longer wasted time and started killing zombies.
It had been hours since they arrived, and Mo Junjie had drained his energy several times. At this moment, he was resting while drinking the pond water. Due to consuming lots of water, he was in need of using the bathroom.
After he absorbed several transparent crystal cores, he clenched his jaw and pushed himself up. Enduring the burning pain inside his body, he leaped from the top of the metal wall and landed on the ground.
Perhaps due to the pain or exhaustion, his knees buckled when he tried to stand up. He thought that he would fall, but before he hit the ground, a pair of thin arms caught his body from behind.
Noticing the small frame of the person behind him, Mo Junjie thought it was Jiao Lizhi. After he stabilized himself, he turned around and met Du Beiye’s blue eyes staring at him.
After a moment of awkward silence, she asked, "Where are you going?"
Knowing that pretending to be strong would only put himself in pain, Mo Junjie said, "I need to use the bathroom."
At first, he thought that Du Beiye would support his arm as they walked. Unexpectedly, after he finished his words, he saw her bend down and carry him horizontally.
The moment he felt his feet leave the ground, he stared at her with his eyes widened in shock. This was the first time in his entire twenty-three years that he had been ’princess carried’ by a little girl!
Not noticing his speechlessness or his stiffened body, Du Beiye walked toward the building in large strides. Her steps were stable and her breathing was steady. It was as if she were not carrying a one hundred eighty-one centimeter tall man weighing seventy kilograms, but a child.
Mo Junjie was too stunned to react. It was not until she placed him down that he regained his senses.
Seeing that he stood there unmoving, Du Beiye raised her head and met his wide eyes. Waving her hand in front of his face, she asked, "Mo Junjie, are you okay? Do you need me to help you..."
Before she finished her words, Mo Junjie raised his hand and covered her mouth with his palm. Due to her small face, his palm covered half of her face, leaving only her confused eyes staring at him.
After taking a deep breath to control his emotions, he said, "No need. I can do it myself."
As soon as he finished his words, he went into the bathroom and closed the door with a loud bang.
Standing outside the door, Du Beiye scratched the back of her head and asked, "Krayan, why do I feel that he is angry?"
"According to the system database, he indeed shows signs of being angry. As for the reason, the system has no answer for that."
Since both she and Krayan didn’t know why Mo Junjie was angry, she put this matter to the back of her mind and stood guard outside the bathroom.
Judging from the damage caused by his corrosive blood, he must be in a lot of pain right now. Recalling how pale he was, Du Beiye checked her warehouse and found a bottle of painkillers.
Unlike the painkillers found on the Blue Planet, her painkiller was made using rare materials found on the nineteenth star of the Tarakam Civilization. Even back on her home planet, the price for this medicine was not low.
Besides lessening the pain, this medicine had a slight effect of repairing the cells and healing wounds. Not only did the effects show within a minute, but the effect of the painkiller would last for the next forty hours.
Just after she poured a pill out of the bottle, Mo Junjie came out of the bathroom. Noticing the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Du Beiye pulled at his collar.
"What are you..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Junjie felt a soft, jelly-like item being shoved into his mouth. As Du Beiye’s fingers caressed his Adam’s Apple, he couldn’t help but swallow, and the pill slid down his throat.
He narrowed his eyes as he asked coldly, "What did you feed me?"
Meeting his cold, sharp gaze, Du Beiye replied nonchalantly, "A painkiller."
Without waiting for him, she turned around and left.
Standing there, Mo Junjie stared at her back and frowned. While he was still thinking about what her motives were, he felt the burning pain inside his body lessen. He glanced at his palm and saw that the burning skin caused by his corrosive mist had already healed.
Thinking about the painkiller given by Du Beiye, he quickly took a syringe and a glass vial from his spatial necklace.
After he opened the package, he used the new syringe to draw his blood and stored it in the vial. When he was done, he sealed the vial and stored it in his spatial necklace.
When they returned to the base, he wanted to run a test on his blood and find out what medicine she had fed him.
At the same time, Du Beiye had already returned to the battlefield. This time, she didn’t use her two-handed greatsword. Instead, she flicked her wrist, and her bracelets turned into two longswords.
Holding the longswords, she dashed toward the zombies. Narrowing her eyes, she increased her speed. In less than a second, her body flickered, and she disappeared from the spot.
"Roar!!"
Crash! Crash! Crash!
As the zombies’ heads rolled to the ground, her afterimages appeared and disappeared in several places. Due to the difference in gravity, it had taken her several days to get used to it. Now that she had finally adapted to the environment, she was able to unleash her full strength.
While she was testing her limit, Qin Luzi, Jin Xuyan, and Jiao Lizhi turned in her direction. The three of them watched how she fought.
At this moment, besides Jiao Lizhi, who thought that their new member was very strong, Qin Luzi and Jin Xuyan’s trust in her was decreasing instead.
