Chapter 118: Must Become Stronger As Soon As Possible

While Liu Yun was screaming inwardly, Ye Xuan calmly said, "Very well. We will discuss this matter first, then I will inform you later."

Lian Tianci nodded, then turned to look at Gu Lingjian. Seeing him staring at Liu Yun, Lian Tianci coughed lightly.

"Cough."

Hearing his cough, Gu Lingjian looked at him and raised his brows in question.

"Captain Gu, do you have anything else to talk about with Miss Liu or Young Master Ye?" Lian Tianci asked.

Gu Lingjian nodded, then looked at Liu Yun.

When Liu Yun saw the way he looked at her, she felt chills run down her spine.

’Grass! Is he going to ask about the Genesis Rebirth Serum?! Ah!! I should have known that he was here when he saved me at the gas station! What should I do?! What excuse should I give if he really asks?!’

While Liu Yun was panicking, Gu Lingjian sincerely said, "I only want to thank Miss Liu for saving my brother, Mu Nan. If not for your timely help, he would have long turned into a zombie."

The moment he said this, Liu Yun froze in her seat while Ye Xuan and the others all looked at her.

Suddenly becoming the center of their attention, Liu Yun couldn’t help but curse Gu Lingjian in her heart.

’Grass! Can he become any more obvious than this?! What’s the difference between this and directly saying that I could save someone from turning into a zombie?!’

Glaring at Gu Lingjian, Liu Yun gritted her teeth so hard that she almost ground them into dust. ’If I had known he was here, I would have left this convoy long ago! Ah! I hate trouble!’

If gazes could kill, Gu Lingjian knew that he would have died under Liu Yun’s glares.

Coughing lightly, he cleared his throat and continued, "If Miss Liu needs help in the future, please feel free to tell us. We will do our best to help you as long as it doesn’t break any laws or violate morality."

When he said this, Liu Yun suddenly paused. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she asked, ’System, do you think he is sincere?’

Being asked by her, the System’s mechanical voice rang in her mind.

[This System doesn’t have enough data to make a conclusion regarding this matter.]

Liu Yun frowned slightly at the System’s answer. After a brief moment of thought, she finally opened her lips and said, "Since Captain Gu has said so, then I will accept your kindness."

Hearing this, Gu Lingjian smiled slightly. Standing up, he said, "I still need to inform my team members, so I will take my leave first."

Seeing that Gu Lingjian had walked away, Lian Tianci also stood up and said, "Young Master Ye, I will be waiting for your news."

"Alright."

After Lian Tianci left, Ye Xuan turned to look at Liu Yun and asked, "Younger Sister Liu, do you know Captain Gu?"

Liu Yun nodded and explained, "I met him and his team before I met you guys."

Gu Zhenwei’s curiosity was piqued when he heard this. Leaning forward slightly, he looked at Liu Yun with great interest.

"Younger Sister Liu, quick, tell us how you saved Captain Gu’s friend."

The second he asked, Ye Xuan, Qiu Sixun, and Lan Zuancheng all looked at Liu Yun.

Facing their curiosity and interest, Liu Yun knew that she had no way to avoid this matter.

After a few seconds of silence, she finally said, "Well, when I met them, they were being chased by a zombie horde. At that time, I was unlucky enough to run into them. After running for our lives, I noticed that they were injured, so I gave his friend some medicine."

Seeing that she was just staring at them, Gu Zhenwei blinked twice, then asked, "And then?"

Liu Yun spread out her hands and replied, "There is no then."

"Just like that?" Gu Zhenwei asked again.

"Mhm." Liu Yun nodded. "Just like that."

When he heard this, Gu Zhenwei sighed in disappointment and muttered, "I thought the story would be full of action and emotion. Turns out, you just gave them some medicine."

Seeing that he had lost interest, Liu Yun secretly sighed in relief. ’Thanks, God... I managed to gloss over this matter.’

Sitting beside her, Ye Xuan exchanged glances with Qiu Sixun and Lan Zuancheng.

Except for Gu Zhenwei, the three of them knew that this matter was not as simple as Liu Yun had told them. However, since Liu Yun didn’t want to say more about it, they also wouldn’t ask any further questions.

Looking at his friends, Ye Xuan said, "You guys heard what Captain Lian just said. Do you want to go with them?"

Lan Zuancheng pondered for a moment, then replied, "Brother Xuan, since Captain Lian and Captain Gu have discovered the existence of crystal cores, I think the military will soon receive the news. Once they know, it won’t be long before they announce this matter to the public."

"After the descent of the Blood Moon, law and order have crumbled, and only the strong have the chance to survive. If we want to survive, we must take this opportunity and collect more crystal cores before more people learn about this information."

"No matter what the usage of the crystal cores in the future, collecting more will always be the right thing to do. If they are useless, we can just take this as an opportunity to train ourselves."

Nodding in agreement, Qiu Sixun added, "Zuancheng is right. We need to work harder so we won’t be left behind. Besides, the recent news announced by the military regarding the zombies’ evolution and mutants’ mutations is worrying me."

"I’m not sure if this large wave of evolution and mutation will really happen in the near future, but we shouldn’t and can’t afford to gamble with this uncertainty."

Clenching his hands, he frowned and added, "We must become stronger as soon as possible."

Ye Xuan looked at his three brothers’ faces, filled with worry and anxiety, then said, "Alright. Then we will go with Captain Lian to collect more crystal cores."

While they were discussing, Liu Yun looked at the four of them in silence.
