🍊Chapter 1 to Chapter 198(End)

Cui Xisheng's stomach hurt, and he hadn't received the food Zhao Jiake was supposed to bring. The two of them hadn't brought any food back, and Cui Xisheng was more disappointed than anyone else. After all, he still had a mouth to feed.

"They're coming," Zhao Jiake didn't notice Cui Xisheng's strange behavior and saw the student president and Zhao Huanrui approaching, so he shook Cui Xisheng's arm to remind him.

Cui Xisheng raised his head, expressionless, as the student president and Zhao Huanrui walked up to him.

"Sorry, we couldn’t bring back any food," the student president said tiredly, his face full of guilt.

"And then?" Cui Xisheng was still burning with anger, and his attitude toward the student president was unfriendly.

What was this person trying to say? Did he want him to sympathize and forgive the debt for the food?

"Your food is still owed to you, I’ll return it in the future," the student president was a bit taken aback by Cui Xisheng’s coldness. His face darkened for a moment, but then he regained his apologetic expression.

"Just remember it," Cui Xisheng sneered and turned his head, no longer wanting to talk. He was too hungry and had no energy to continue the conversation.

The student president felt his anger rising, his face dark as he led Zhao Huanrui away.

It had already been three days, and Meng Jiangtian still hadn't come back. If he didn’t return tonight, Cui Xisheng would no longer tolerate him.

A mere ordinary person who sold his body... and dared to treat an ability user like this just because Meng Jiangtian gave him the ability to ignore him. It was really too much.

The two of them had found a supermarket that still had food, but there were too many zombies inside, and they couldn’t get in.

If there were a living person, they could attract the zombies away. The student president thought to himself, his eyes turning sinister as he glanced at Cui Xisheng.

Meng Jiangtian, killing zombies, suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch. A gust of wind blew away the surrounding zombies, and Meng Jiangtian flew to the rooftop.

After another night of killing, the energy inside his body finally stabilized.

The night before, his abilities seemed to be making their final struggle, suddenly releasing the last burst of energy, and Meng Jiangtian was nearly overwhelmed.

His skin and flesh were almost torn apart. After hesitating for a while, he decided to swallow a healing-type crystal core, which he was certain would help him.

This decision made Meng Jiangtian incredibly grateful. Although the crystal core was small, it saved his life.

Meng Jiangtian had already absorbed too much energy, causing his body to be on the verge of bursting. Swallowing the healing-type crystal core caused the energy to overflow.

Normally, this overflowing healing energy would have been a deadly threat.

But at that moment, Meng Jiangtian was being torn apart by the violent energy, and the healing energy restored his damaged flesh, saving him instead.

After swallowing the energy from water and wood-type crystal cores, his abilities were at their limit. The healing-type crystal core, though small, perfectly counterbalanced the two conflicting energies.

It was like experiencing an excruciating pain followed by a satisfying sense of relief.

After killing a few zombies, Meng Jiangtian was now able to control the new abilities he had absorbed with ease.

His right eyelid kept twitching, and when he rubbed it, it twitched even faster.

Meng Jiangtian didn’t believe in the superstitions of left eye twitching meaning wealth and right eye twitching meaning disaster, but he felt uneasy.

It had been three days without hearing from Cui Xisheng. What was going on?

Meng Jiangtian glanced at the zombie horde below. A wind blade cut his arm, and the fresh blood's scent was carried by the wind to the zombies below, immediately quieting them down. Each one tilted its head, searching for the source of the blood scent.

Meng Jiangtian appeared intentionally, flying down to hover just out of the zombies' reach, and let a drop of blood fall onto a zombie’s face.

Before the zombie could even react, the one next to it bit off its face.

The zombie didn’t care about its own face being torn apart, reaching its arms upward in a frenzied attempt to grab the blood-scented air above.

Meng Jiangtian dropped blood while flying in the air, leading the zombies away from the massacre zone.

After a while, feeling that they had gone far enough, he wiped the blood from his arm, and the healing ability immediately closed the wound. He flew back, circling around the zombies and leaving them in his wake.

The zombies were all lured away by his blood, and only the pile of corpses remained on the street.

Meng Jiangtian used wind blades to sever their heads and search for crystal cores, digging through the crushed zombie bodies for cores. After half an hour of work, he found a small pile of crystal cores.

The multicolored cores were washed clean with water, and Meng Jiangtian didn’t bother to count them. He just threw them into his space.

The sun hadn’t risen yet, but the sky was gradually brightening.

After swallowing five wind-type crystal cores, Meng Jiangtian’s wind abilities increased threefold. He easily lifted food from the rooftop with the breeze.

His feet barely touched the ground as he flew quickly towards the Chinese Medical University.

That night, no one on the rooftop of the university could sleep. Hunger was making the atmosphere heavy, and Cui Xisheng had a strange feeling that something was about to happen, making him uneasy.

He desperately wanted to leave the rooftop. He felt that staying here with these people was worse than finding a place to hide by himself.

But after being hungry for an entire day and night, he was dizzy, weak, and it took effort to sit up.

His stomach hurt, but he was helpless. Cui Xisheng secretly hated himself for not awakening his abilities to protect himself and his child.

Where was Meng Jiangtian? Had something happened to him? If Meng Jiangtian wasn’t coming back…

Cui Xisheng smiled bitterly. If Meng Jiangtian didn’t come back, he would find him in the underground, even as a ghost if necessary.

"Cui Xisheng." Cui Xisheng was lost in thought when he heard the student president's voice beside him.

He opened his eyes, trying to sit up but was too weak. He could only look sideways at the student president, silently waiting for him to continue speaking.

Cui Xisheng’s silence was mistaken for ignoring the student president, and the student president’s temper flared immediately.

Meng Jiangtian still hadn’t returned that night. The student president felt there was a 99% chance that Meng Jiangtian was dead.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just left his two lovers behind. After thinking all night about using Cui Xisheng to lure away the zombies, he couldn’t wait for the morning to bring Cui Xisheng away.

Cui Xisheng’s indifference made the student president angrier. He stormed over and grabbed Cui Xisheng, trying to pull him up.

Zhao Jiake saw the student president’s aggressive attitude and immediately stepped aside.

He couldn’t fight an ability user.

As for Qi Tianshan, he shrank back against the wall, nervously watching the scene.

He had always listened to the student president’s orders, and protecting Cui Xisheng was one of those orders, so he wouldn’t stop him.

Cui Xisheng also realized that the student president had bad intentions. He sneered and thought to himself that the student president finally stopped pretending.

But today, even if it didn’t end well, he wouldn’t sit still and wait. If the student president tried to bully him, he would fight back.

The atmosphere grew tense, but suddenly there was a commotion behind them.

The student president furrowed his brow and turned around as a black mass descended from the sky. A large amount of colorful food fell to the ground, and the hungry crowd immediately swarmed over it.

Meng Jiangtian landed with a cardboard box, his wind abilities carrying rice, oil, and other supplies, and dropped them right beside the student president.

When the student president saw Meng Jiangtian, his pupils constricted, his body trembling involuntarily as his legs seemed to give out.

Zhao Jiake stared at Meng Jiangtian, regret filling his mind for not blocking Cui Xisheng earlier. He had persisted for so long, but gave up at the last moment.

Seeing that Meng Jiangtian didn’t notice him, Zhao Jiake quietly moved in front of Cui Xisheng.

Cui Xisheng, seeing Meng Jiangtian come back with food, was overjoyed. But then Zhao Jiake suddenly moved in front of him, blocking the way.

Cui Xisheng was stunned for a moment, then understood what Zhao Jiake meant. He sneered. Zhao Jiake had clearly stepped aside earlier, and now he wanted to show loyalty. It was too late.

As for Qi Tianshan, he was still shrinking against the wall, watching Meng Jiangtian with fear.

"What are you doing here?" Meng Jiangtian asked, glancing at the student president, who was looking nervous, and frowned.

He pushed past Zhao Jiake, who was smiling foolishly in front of Cui Xisheng, and finally saw Cui Xisheng, whom he had missed so much.

But as he had imagined, Cui Xisheng didn’t look well. He was lying on a mat, holding his stomach, staring at him blankly.

There was no food beside him anymore. Meng Jiangtian’s expression darkened, but he didn’t ask immediately; Cui Xisheng’s condition was his top priority.

He looked down at Cui Xisheng. His black, bright eyes were full of emotions, with hurt being the most overwhelming, almost spilling over.

Meng Jiangtian’s heart ached. He reached out to touch Cui Xisheng’s forehead, asking nervously, "What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?"

His forehead wasn’t hot, so at least he didn’t have a fever.

"Hungry," Cui Xisheng weakly murmured, biting his lip, holding back tears that were threatening to fall.

When he saw Meng Jiangtian, all the worry and fear disappeared, but an overwhelming sense of grievance suddenly surged within him. He wanted to tell Meng Jiangtian about the bullying he had endured these past few days.

But just as he was about to break down, he suddenly saw Liu Anna rushing over.

The word "lover" echoed in his mind, and his heart turned cold. The desire to complain vanished.

He was just a lover, what difference would it make to speak out?

Cui Xisheng felt a pang of sadness and buried his face in the mat, not wanting to talk to Meng Jiangtian.

"I found some self-heating lunch boxes, just add water to heat them, and they’re ready to eat. Wait a moment." Cui Xisheng’s sudden change in attitude confused Meng Jiangtian, but he refrained from asking and took the lunch boxes to the student president to heat them.

Meng Jiangtian didn’t want to reveal yet that he could use multiple abilities. Since the student president was a water ability user, it was convenient to ask him to heat the food.

"Jiangtian Gege. Where have you been these past few days? I’ve been so worried about you," Liu Anna cried, tightly hugging Meng Jiangtian from behind, calling him Jiangtian Gege with a heart-wrenching sob.

Cui Xisheng, buried in the mat, sneered to himself.
