"Can your body still take it?"
Under a big tree, Misaka Mikoto was resting while leaning against the tree. Gu Han was cooking a pot of porridge. Next to the pot were Poor Beggar and Gu Yun, who were holding a spoon in his left hand and a bowl in his right. They were staring at the pot of porridge with sparkling eyes. Due to the miscalculation of the time they were going to leave this time and a few accidents, the red braised pork that Wen Meiyun had prepared for half a month had already been eaten. The rest of the food had also been swept clean. Now, the only food that Gu Han could give to Poor Beggar and the others were the dozens of bags of rice and two big jars of dried carrots in his Dimensional Pocket.
Guhan did not know how to cook and had no interest in learning how to cook … He did not even know how to cook. Guhan, who could calculate all kinds of derivatives and higher-order functions in his mind, could not even cook with water. If there was too little water, the rice would be uncooked. If there was too much water, it would turn into porridge. In the end, Guhan decided to add less rice and more water. Damn it, Guhan could not possibly make a mistake when cooking porridge!
In the beginning, Qingpin did not like the porridge that had no meat, and Gu Yun did not like the porridge that had no fish and only some dried carrots on top. However, they could not resist the hunger in their stomachs and had no choice but to force themselves to eat a little. As a result, the more they ate, the more addicted they became, especially when the porridge was mixed with a few crispy and refreshing dried carrots. The two adorable lolis could not stop eating.
Every time Guhan started cooking porridge, the two of them would become obedient babies who loved to eat. They would wait in front of the big pot obediently, ready to eat dozens of bowls of fragrant porridge … It was worth mentioning that about 90% of the bowls were eaten by Qingpin. Our cute Gu Yun would at most eat five to six bowls. She was a cute lady!
Guhan took out four bowls from his Dimensional Pocket. These bowls were specially bought for Qingpin. They were all shaped like cute little animals.
Guhan took out a panda bowl and filled it with porridge before handing it to the impatient Qingpin … The panda bowl was exclusive to Qingpin. Other than Qingpin, no one else could use it.
There was also a penguin bowl for Gu Yun. Gu Yun did not mind having her own bowl and chopsticks, so Guhan would give her a random bowl every time.
"If you don't have enough, fill it up yourself!"
After saying that, Guhan filled up the remaining two bowls and brought them to Misaka Mikoto who was resting against the tree. He passed one of the bowls to her and said drily, "Eat up!"
The remaining bowl was naturally Guhan's. Guhan shoved a few mouthfuls of porridge into his mouth and suddenly felt a burning gaze on him. When Guhan looked up, he realized that the owner of the burning gaze was Misaka Mikoto. She was looking at him with her eyes shining. Guhan could even see a gorilla … Oh, no, stars in her eyes.
"What's wrong?
Did I do something wrong? "
Gu Han was startled. He wondered if there was a grain of rice on the corner of his mouth that attracted her attention. However, he realized that Misaka Mikoto was not looking at him. She was looking at the bowl in his hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry! "
Misaka Mikoto finally reacted. She quickly lowered her head, buried her face in the bowl, and poured the porridge into her mouth. Judging by the speed at which she ate, she probably could not even taste the food.
Guhan looked at his bowl … It looked like a frog. There was nothing special about it. He could not understand what Misaka Mikoto was thinking.
After Misaka Mikoto finished eating the porridge, Guhan said, "Ms. Misaka, the Nanjing Ruins are just ahead of us. Are you sure that we have to go to Rain Flower Terrace to heal your injury?"
"Yes!"
Misaka Mikoto nodded. "My body became like this because I lost control of the electromagnetism in my body. I have to rely on external forces to build the electromagnetism model in my body … This is not the first time I've encountered this situation. The last time I was cured was at Rain Flower Terrace in Nanjing. Therefore, I'm very sure that we have to go to Rain Flower Terrace."
"I understand now!"
Guhan let out a long sigh and said, "Rain Flower Terrace is located at the junction of two districts of the ancient Nanjing City. It's surrounded by the ruins of Nanjing City before the apocalypse. If we want to reach there, we have to go through the ruins of the ancient Nanjing City."
"According to the information I've read on the internet, half of the districts of the ancient Nanjing City are abandoned. There are no humans or Yuan Kou.
However, the other half is in the city center of Nanjing, Black Tortoise District, Qinhuai District, Jianye District, and Rain Flower Terrace District.
These four districts are occupied by a large group of Yuan Kou zombies. "
Guhan paused for a while. "According to the information left behind by the seniors, this group of Yuan Kou zombies came to this world more than a hundred years ago. They fought in Black Tortoise District for a while before they were forced out by the endless stream of zombies. They did not fully investigate the situation in this district."
"However, according to their battle information, this group of zombies already has a Dragon-level Yuan Kou … This is only the situation in one district. I suspect that there are more advanced Dragon-level and First-level Yuan Kou zombies here."
Guhan's expression was very serious. His current combat strength could only defeat a Dragon-level Yuan Kou. He might be able to fight a Dragon-level Yuan Kou, but a First-level Yuan Kou could only run for his life.
He was able to defeat Iciz in the trial array only because Iciz was naturally restrained by him. In addition, she was emotionally affected by him and neglected to defend against his weakness, which was why she was knocked unconscious. If he were to do it again, Gu Han was sure that the one who would be defeated would not be Iciz, but himself.
Therefore, Guhan was hesitant about entering Nanjing. If he encountered a First-level Yuan Kou, he would definitely lose … Guhan was not afraid. With the Green Onion Stone, Guhan could retreat to the safety of the Training Formation at any time. However, he could not bring Misaka Mikoto back. If Misaka Mikoto died here, Yuzhang City would lose a strong ally!
"I have to go to Rain Flower Terrace!" Misaka Mikoto pleaded. "I don't want to be a burden!"
"Alright, I understand. You have to listen to my orders!"
Guhan took a deep breath. In fact, he had never thought of retreating. When he decided to escort Misaka Mikoto here for treatment, Guhan was already confident that he would win. For the sake of Yuzhang City, he had to win!
…
"I owe you a favor!"
Koo Rok-in walked out of the Medical Chamber and walked in front of Liunian Ling. He said to Liunian Ling coldly. It was as if Liunian Ling was extremely lucky to earn a favor from him.
It could not be helped. Teenagers were all like that. Please don't take it to heart.
Ju Luren's injuries looked very terrifying. His skin and flesh were torn, and even his bones were exposed. However, this was actually just a flesh wound.
To the Medical Chamber, flesh wounds were the easiest to heal. In just ten minutes or so, Koo Rok-in's body had fully recovered.
Unfortunately, the Medical Chamber could not restore Koo Rok-in's stamina and sword essence. Koo Rok-in could only recover them with time.
"We're both swordsmen. I won't leave you in the lurch!"
Liunian Ling said calmly. It was as if saving Koo Rok-in was no different than saving a kitten or a puppy.
Koo Rok-in was used to others' coldness and indifference toward him. However, when he heard Liunian Ling saying the same thing, he felt a surge of anger and stubbornness in his heart.
He gave Liunian Ling a fist salute. "I'll definitely return the favor. I'm leaving now. See you again!"
After saying that, Koo Rok-in dragged his heavy legs toward Yuzhang City.
"Wait, you can't go!"
Before Koo Rok-in could take a few steps, Liunian Ling stood in front of him and blocked Koo Rok-in's way. "You're just going to die if you keep going like this. I don't want to save a dead person after spending so much effort."
"I can walk by myself!
My strength alone is enough!
As long as I'm alive, I can save the whole world! "
Koo Rok-in's childish personality came out again. As a childish teenager, even if his limbs were crippled, he still wanted to bear all the burden by himself … This was a common practice.
"Pa!"
Liunian Ling struck Koo Rok-in's limbs with her sword. Then, Koo Rok-in felt the meridians in his limbs being sealed by a wave of sword Qi. He could no longer control his body and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
This was a secret skill of the Liunian Family. It could seal the meridians of a human or a human Yuan Kou through sword Qi, causing the human to lose control of his body. It was just like the Ancient Martial Arts Acupuncture.
However, this secret skill could not be used by just anyone. One had to hit four acupuncture points at the same time, and their strength had to be one level higher than the opponent to be able to do it.
If not for the fact that the sword essence in Koo Rok-in's body had been used up, Liunian Ling would not have been able to hit him.
Liunian Ling grabbed the clothes on Koo Rok-in's back, lifted him up, and threw him into the trunk of the Yanhuang 3008. Then, she got into the car calmly and squeezed with Song Yifei. "Let's go back to Yuzhang City!"
"Why do you care about me?
I can do anything on my own. I don't need you to pity me! "
Ju Luren, whose limbs were restrained, still shouted there, unwilling to give up. His chuunibyou heart had never been extinguished.
"Shut up. If Guhan was here, he would not talk nonsense with me. He would think of a way to break through my sword Qi!" Liunian Ling said disdainfully.
"Don't compare that lucky guy to me. He's not worthy!"
Koo Rok-in said proudly. Koo Rok-in always thought that Guhan was only lucky. How could he, Guhan, be compared to Koo Rok-in? There was no comparison at all!
She slapped Koo Rok-in's face, stunning Koo Rok-in!
"To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for your father, who would have saved you!"
Liunian Ling laughed coldly. "I didn't save you, but Sword Immortal Baiju's son. Don't you understand that?"
Koo Rok-in's face turned ashen. He did not say a word until they returned to Yuzhang City.
