Chapter 108: Guo Jinghua

~7 min read 1,271 words

After concluding the trade with the Luo Family Brothers, Zhu Zhiquan took out the Resurrection Scroll v1 and waited for Zhao Yuxin's HP to hit zero.

Durian Warrior and Ice Cream Cactus sat beside Zhao Yuxin looking worried. Seeing that Zhao Yuxin still had half her HP left, Zhu Zhiquan said to Ice Cream Cactus, "Baobao, you go drive. Just leave Mom to me."

"Mm~" Ice Cream Cactus responded, slowly leaving the carriage. The moment it jumped out of the carriage, Ice Cream Cactus looked back at Zhao Yuxin's direction once more before entering the driver's seat.

Zhu Zhiquan opened the Trading Channel to see if there was anything that could remove the curse, but even until Zhao Yuxin's HP hit zero, Zhu Zhiquan could not find anything that could remove the curse.

Helpless, Zhu Zhiquan could only use the Resurrection Scroll v1 to revive Zhao Yuxin. The Resurrection Scroll sucked Zhao Yuxin in and began the resurrection ritual.

During the time Zhao Yuxin was reviving, Zhu Zhiquan and the others did not encounter any trouble. Just as there were five minutes left for Zhao Yuxin's resurrection, Ice Cream Cactus suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Zhu Zhiquan jumped off the Tricycle and went to the front to check, only to find many wrecked tricycles in front of them, with quite a few players' corpses lying around.

Durian Warrior turned on a flashlight, allowing Zhu Zhiquan to see some details of the surroundings.

One could see traces of battle on both the ground and the walls. In the center of the battlefield was a pot containing glowing mushroom soup.

Zhu Zhiquan picked up one of the mushrooms, and its information immediately popped up.

Name: Sunlight Mushroom

Quality: White

Introduction: A mushroom as dazzling as the sun; it is recommended to collect some to use as decoration at home.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at the people lying on the ground and thought, "These guys wouldn't be from that place, would they? The Game System didn't say this thing was edible, either."

However, since these people were dead, wouldn't the things they left behind be a bargain for them? Subsequently, Zhu Zhiquan took Durian Warrior and Ice Cream Cactus to move the supplies together.

While moving the second load, Ice Cream Cactus noticed one person's finger move, and then it let out a roar at Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan hurried over to take a look and found Ice Cream Cactus guarding beside a particularly tall man. He immediately told Ice Cream Cactus to continue moving supplies while he checked the man's physical condition himself.

After a simple diagnosis, Zhu Zhiquan found that apart from a huge wound on his arm, the man had no other fatal injuries.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin had also successfully revived and was quietly walking toward Zhu Zhiquan.

Ice Cream Cactus, who was moving supplies, saw that Mom had come back to life; it threw down what it was holding, pounced on her, and licked her incessantly.

"Oh my, alright, alright~ Baobao, be good, stop licking," Zhao Yuxin's voice entered Zhu Zhiquan's ears, but Zhu Zhiquan didn't even turn his head as he carried the man back into the Tricycle.

Zhu Zhiquan's behavior left Zhao Yuxin a bit dumbfounded. She had thought that after she revived, Zhu Zhiquan would excitedly hug her and cry his eyes out, saying things like, "Sob sob sob~ Azhao, you're finally alive, that's great~."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuxin crossed her arms and grumbled indignantly, "Damn Ajiu, and here I was thinking of you the first thing after I revived. You, on the other hand, just ignored me!"

After grumbling, Zhao Yuxin suddenly remembered that Zhu Zhiquan seemed to have carried a man back to the vehicle, which made her notice the environment of the scene.

"It seems a fight happened here; I was too busy looking for Ajiu before." After analyzing the situation at the scene, Zhao Yuxin gave instructions to the two laborers who were moving things, then turned and entered the carriage to check on the wounded man.

At this time, Zhu Zhiquan had already finished treating the wounded man's injury and was sitting quietly by his side, guarding him.

Zhao Yuxin glanced at the man and asked Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, why do you think they ended up like this? Could it be for some treasure?"

Zhu Zhiquan silently handed a mushroom to Zhao Yuxin, and Zhao Yuxin took the mushroom and read the information on it.

"You think they ended up in this miserable state because they ate this Sunlight Mushroom?"

"Mm."

"This Game System didn't say this was edible; they really have guts."

While Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan were chatting, the man slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Zhu Zhiquan and the others, he immediately became vigilant subconsciously, but because his body was too exhausted, he could not move.

"Ajiu, look, he's awake." Zhao Yuxin leaned close to the wounded man with a sweet smile, "My name is Zhao Yuxin, and this is my man, Zhu Zhiquan. What is your name?"

The man replied in a weak voice, "Guo... Jinghua. Did... you... save... save me?"

Zhao Yuxin nodded and then comforted him, "Alright, brother, you rest well for now. We'll ask you what happened here in a while."

Hearing what Zhao Yuxin said, Guo Jinghua immediately fell back into a faint. Seeing Guo Jinghua in this state, the two decided unanimously not to drive for the time being.

Thus, Zhao Yuxin continued her research, while Zhu Zhiquan and Durian Warrior trained together. It wasn't until Zhu Zhiquan and the others had finished lunch that Guo Jinghua finally got off the vehicle to move around again.

Seeing that Guo Jinghua was awake, Zhao Yuxin immediately handed him a portion of cooked self-heating rice.

Guo Jinghua took the self-heating rice, and as he looked at Zhao Yuxin's sunshine-like smile, his pupils dilated involuntarily.

Zhu Zhiquan saw his intentions and said with some displeasure, "Eat quickly, the rice is almost cold."

Guo Jinghua acted as if he hadn't heard him and stared at Zhao Yuxin for a long time. Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan shielded Zhao Yuxin behind him and then scolded, "Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Zhu Zhiquan's shout brought Guo Jinghua back to his senses. Looking at Zhu Zhiquan's fierce gaze and the self-heating rice in his hand, he gave a silly laugh a few times before he started to eat.

Zhu Zhiquan pulled Zhao Yuxin to the side, and before he could even speak, Zhao Yuxin teased, "What, are you jealous?"

Zhu Zhiquan pouted and turned his face away. Zhao Yuxin covered her mouth and laughed, then teased, "Ajiu, look, if you don't cherish me anymore, I might get snatched away by someone else~"

Zhu Zhiquan's expression became even uglier, and he squatted on the ground, drawing circles incessantly.

Zhao Yuxin leaned on his back and said, "Alright~ Ajiu, I'm just teasing you. Don't worry, I am yours in life and yours in death; I will definitely not cheat."

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's words, Zhu Zhiquan's expression improved a bit. Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan rubbed against Zhao Yuxin's cheek, leaving Guo Jinghua, who was eating, with a mouthful of "dog food."

Seeing that the girl he liked was already someone else's virtuous wife, he immediately lowered his head and shoveled food into his mouth, trying to ease his reluctance.

After Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin had a brief moment of intimacy, they sat down opposite Guo Jinghua together. Watching Guo Jinghua bury his head in his food, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but say, "Brother, eat slowly. If it's not enough, we have more here."
