Gu Ning could see that Zhuang Chen’s relationship with Bai Lang seemed unusual, yet she didn’t ask any questions.
The group was ready to leave.
Bai Lang suddenly asked: “But what’s going on here, I don’t suppose all the items have been moved by you guys, right?” He stared at Brother San and then Gu Ning.
Brother San and the others all felt a sudden tightening in their hearts and a little guilty.
On the contrary, Gu Ning was very calm and replied naturally: “It was like this when we got here.”
Bai Lang didn’t really doubt them and when he heard Gu Ning’s reply, he just shrugged.
To cover their tracks, Brother San and the others still drove away the big cargo truck with the small load of supplies.
On the way back, Gu Ning and Zhuang Chen, both roughly exchanged their experiences after the separation and they were both somewhat emotional. Gu Ning didn’t tell Zhuang Chen about her spatial and healing abilities, but only mentioned she had developed plant psychic power. After asking again about the condition of Fang Fa, she was slightly relieved to learn that it was not a life-threatening situation. Brother San and the rest had never heard Gu Ning mention Fang Fa’s name before. Gu Ning had always been rather cold in her dealings with people, and it was so rare to see that she cared so much about someone. Right now they had just become closer to Gu Ning, and here came Fang Fa, whom they didn’t know, so they inevitably had some strange feeling in their hearts.
Zhuang Chen was good at reading body language and at this moment, looking at the subtle expressions of those people in the truck, she could probably guess what they were thinking. She was only a little curious as she had been separated from Gu Ning for less than a week, and these people all seemed like they should have known Gu Ning since then, so how did Gu Ning have gained such an important position among them in such a short period?
The wood element psychic ability was not the strongest and it might even be the weakest among other psychic powers. Also, the power fluctuations of several people in this carriage were not weak……
The journey back to the colony was fairly uneventful, shocking the survivors in the colony when the big truck drove back in and parked in front of the small compound where they lived and started unloading. The children were very happy as if it was Lunar New Year’s Eve when they saw the small loads of supplies in the truck.
Gu Ning let Brother San in charge and handled the rest. Then she sent her greeting to her parents before directly following Zhuang Chen to the infirmary to find Fang Fa.
Brother San glanced at Gu Ning and Zhuang Chen’s distant back view and couldn’t help but frown.
Zhang XiaoBai couldn’t hold back either and asked: “Brother San, what kind of relationship do you think that Fang Fa or whatever the name is, has with Gu Ning? She seems quite anxious about him.”
Brother San snapped: “If you ask me, who should I ask?”
Luo Long nervously came over and chimed in: “Then Gu Ning wouldn’t follow them and leave right?”
Zhang XiaoBai was stunned and replied: “No way?”
Zhong Xu interjected: “I don’t think Gu Ning is going to leave with them. She even hide her healing and spatial abilities from the woman and only told us about them. What does this mean? Trust! Trust, right? We are her family.”
Brother San cut them off their discussion and said impatiently: “*The rain will fall, the womenfolk will marry. We can’t stop Gu Ning if she wants to leave.” He couldn’t help but sigh after saying that.
He was also worried about that too.
Jia DaoZhang abnormally didn’t join in the conversation, he had already thought of it anyway. He would go wherever Gu Ning went.
Doctor Gao was nowhere to be found.
Fang Fa was placed on the bed and was now flipping through a high school textbook in a bored manner, his face looks pale.
He was completely frozen when he saw Gu Ning who had followed Zhuang Chen in.
His jaw dropped as he stared at Gu Ning and asked: “Gu Ning? ! You, why are you here?”
Gu Ning walked over and took a good look at the bandaged wound on Fang Fa’s thigh, then replied: “I should be the one asking you this.”
Fang Fa scratched his head, and although he was surprised to see Gu Ning here, he was still very happy: “We had an accident, so we make a detour.”
About this accident, in the truck, Zhuang Chen also roughly mentioned.
Gu Ning suddenly asked Zhuang Chen: “Zhuang Chen, can I have a moment alone with Fang Fa?”
Zhuang Chen replied very sensibly: “Of course.” Then she turned around and walked out.
“Let me take a look at your wound first.” Gu Ning said as she was about to remove the gauze that wrapped around the wound on Fang Fa’s thigh.
Fang Fa pressed Gu Ning’s hand and stopped her: “Don’t don’t don’t. It’s disgusting, you’re not a doctor, so why do you need to look at it?”
Gu Ning glared at him and Fang Fa surrender in the end, lying back and saying helplessly: “Fine fine fine, look all you want.”
Gu Ning carefully lifted the gauze wrapped around Fang Fa’s wound, the gauze was stuck to the pus and his leg twitched when she tore it open. Finally, she removed the gauze and the wound on his thigh was completely exposed.
Fang Fa pursed his lips and whined: “See, I told you it looks disgusting ——“
Gu Ning stared at him and told him seriously: “Fang Fa, whatever happened next, I hope you will promise me not to tell anyone.” Gu Ning paused and continued: “Including Zhuang Chen.” Although she admired Zhuang Chen, a day with her was not enough for Gu Ning to fully trust her. Not to mention that Zhuang Chen’s relationship with Bai Lang was still unclear. She didn’t dare to take any risk.
Fang Fa didn’t know what Gu Ning was talking about and froze for a moment before nodding.
Gu Ning then raised her hand and placed it a little above Fang Fa’s wound before she began to mobilise her psychic power.
When those green dots of light appeared in Gu Ning’s palm, drilling into his wounds, Fang Fa couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock. He subconsciously used his hands to brace himself and prepared to retreat but he stopped after being glared at by Gu Ning.
Gu Ning closed her eyes again and focused on manipulating the seawater in the green ocean from the space ——
If one examine closely, one would see that the level of the green ocean was slipping. The amount of psychic energy consumed, including the healing for Cheng Ming, Jia DaoZhang was so great that if one were to use Xiang Xu’s psychic energy as calculation. It would all have been drained by the time she finished healing Cheng Ming. It was also Gu Ning, who had acquired such a huge ocean of psychic energy to sustain her large consummation in such a short period. Yet to her, the amount of psychic energy was only like ten percent or probably twenty percent of what she had consumed.
Fang Fa only felt a cool wind enter his wound, then a very itchy feeling came from the wound. He restrained himself from scratching it, but just held his breath and watched the green dots of light that kept emerging from Gu Ning’s palm without blinking. He wanted to ask Gu Ning what it was, however, she had her eyes tightly shut and was so focused that he was afraid of interrupting her, so he could only restrain his overflowing of curiosity.
Gu Ning’s eyes were closed and turned sideways to face him, and her expression was very focused. Her skin was a little pale and she looked a little sickly, yet she had obviously looked much healthier before when she still had black hair. Fang Fa thought silently, then continued to watch her, her features were all small, but they all seemed to be just the right size. The right size for the eyes, the nose, the mouth…… not too pretty to be offense nor was it too plain to be completely lost in the crowd.
She used to look a lot friendlier when she had black hair and often exchanged some questions and discussions with him. After she had dyed her hair blonde, it seems that even her personality had changed quite a bit. She gave off a sense of detachment when she was not talking and always spoke in a cold and emotionless manner.
However, strangely enough, he didn’t know if it was just his illusion. It seemed that Gu Ning was much closer to him after this encounter.
Of course, he didn’t know that Gu Ning’s closeness to him was because of his other self in the other world.
Fang Fa saw Gu Ning’s eyelashes twitched slightly, after some inexplicable panic, he hurriedly shifted his stares away. Then his gaze naturally landed on the wound on his thigh, his eyes widened in shock, looking at his intact thigh in shock: “…… This ——“
While rewrapping those gauze around Fang Fa’s thighs again, Gu Ning explained to him: “This is my psychic power. Healing.” She tied those gauze around Fang Fa’s thigh as before then continued: “I need you to pretend that you’ve just had an operation. I’d be in trouble if too many people knew about this psychic ability of mine.”
Fang Fa’s throat throbbed for a moment. Yet, you trusted me so much? He wanted to ask her, but looking at Gu Ning’s natural look, he felt like he didn’t even need to ask anymore.
Gu Ning stood up and said: “If Zhuang Chen asks, just say that I’ve operated on you.”
Fang Fa froze and nodded, then snapped back to attention and replied: “I don’t think I can hide it from her.” He paused: “She’s smart.”
Gu Ning answered: “I didn’t think I could hide it from her, but just trying to keep her from knowing the actual truth.” Gu Ning didn’t ask Fang Fa about his parents, since they weren’t together, then he haven’t found them yet.
Fang Fa asked: “Have you been well?”
Gu Ning nodded without hesitation, and couldn’t help but show a small smile on her face: “I’ve found my parents. And, met a lot of friends.” The cold detachment on her face instantly faded when she smiled and she seems more lively.
Yet for some reason, there was a strange sour feeling in his heart when he heard Gu Ning say that she had met many friends.
“What about you?” Gu Ning suddenly asked: “Want to join me?”
Fang Fa didn’t respond for a moment: “Huh?”
“We’ve encountered very powerful mutated zombies when we went outside this time.” Gu Ning’s expression immediately became gloomy: “This world is evolving at a very fast rate than we can imagine and is becoming more and more dangerous. Right now it is only three months, so what would happen if three years from now? If you want to survive then you must always be a step ahead of the world. That means we have to become stronger.”
Gu Ning continued solemnly: “There is a limit to how strong a person can be, even if they are very strong. We have a lot of special abilities users in our group now, we were the first batch to know and to evolve as a group. This means that we are probably the group that has the best chance of surviving in the world now. So Fang Fa, I now solemnly invite you, to join us.”
Gu Ning could see that Zhuang Chen’s relationship with Bai Lang seemed unusual, yet she didn’t ask any questions.
The group was ready to leave.
Bai Lang suddenly asked: “But what’s going on here, I don’t suppose all the items have been moved by you guys, right?” He stared at Brother San and then Gu Ning.
Brother San and the others all felt a sudden tightening in their hearts and a little guilty.
