Chapter 88.1: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (17)

A body that had suffered such severe damage could never return to its most perfect state despite being repaired.

Jing Yao and Gu MingYue stood outside the perimeter fence of the Western Survivor Base, sharing a smile.

They finally arrived at their destination after two weeks of intermittent travelling.

During the first week, Gu MingYue was in a very weakened state and needed to be carried by Jing Yao in order to move forward. Even though Jing Yao was the male protagonist in this erotic story, he couldn’t withstand the tremendous energy demands caused by Gu MingYue’s severe injuries. Her body seemed like a bottomless pit, as the initial absorption of semen was completely converted into energy to repair her body. However, the subsequent conversion and absorption of energy had a shockingly low efficiency rate.

Fortunately, almost half of the group’s supplies were stored in Gu MingYue’s space, and with sufficient food and essential items, the two were at least able to recuperate after finding a place to rest.

Day after day, they repeated the same rhythmic movements, their bodies intertwined as one. Gu MingYue’s body slowly repaired itself throughout the week, her complexion improving and her strength gradually returning. Meanwhile, Jing Yao’s face grew increasingly weary, with dark circles under his eyes. He appeared melancholic, filled with anxiety about the unknown dangers and concern for Gu MingYue’s well-being.

Though the four most troublesome evolved zombies near the base have been dealt with, it did not change the fact that the population in the plateau area was already sparse, resulting in fewer ordinary zombies compared to the plains. The Western Survivor Base regularly dispatches ability users and the military to eliminate zombies that wander in from afar. Hence, the area near the base was considered to be extremely safe.

Gu MingYue was familiar with the plot development, but she couldn’t inform Jing Yao, who remained oblivious. As she observed the rapid weight loss in the man’s physique over a short period, a sense of guilt rose within her heart.

In addition to the abnormally lacking speed of energy conversion and absorption... This body... perhaps it was nearing its limit.

Pain, weakness, anxiety, depression, madness, and pleasure intertwined, with sweat and the faint scent of hormones in the air. The week spent beneath Jing Yao’s body allowed Gu MingYue to experience his muscular physique up close, enough to touch his guarded inner world.

Or perhaps it might have been curable, but relying solely on Jing Yao’s alone was insufficient.

In fact, Gu MingYue initially had the intention to seduce Jing Yao to correct his sexual orientation and would do whatever it takes to prevent him from obstructing the mission. However, after experiencing those events, and with the accelerated progression of the plot, Xi Wei’s chastity was basically guaranteed, and she no longer paid much attention to Jing Yao.

Hence, with a sense of resignation, Gu MingYue called out Jing Yao’s name and together, they lured the zombies away, as if they had made thorough preparations.

The image of her waving was recorded in the surveillance monitor, and Gu MingYue’s gaze met Jing Yao’s thoughtful eyes.

This man’s perception and feelings towards her have become unpredictable. Without the overt disgust, except for the unabashed wildness in their sexual encounters, all expressions of emotions in their interactions were now deliberately suppressed.

The protective gate on the innermost reinforced concrete wall was raised upwards, and several people came running out through the wide-opened door, waving their hands as they ran.

As the few people approached closer, Jing Yao’s face revealed a slight rare smile.

Su ShaoYuan, Xi Wei, Bai JunFei, and An YiZe couldn’t hide the excitement in their hearts. They had been waiting for two whole weeks for Gu MingYue and Jing Yao’s return, and during that time, they had wondered more than once if the two had already met with their demise. With little knowledge about the intelligent evolved zombies and uncertainty about the number of evolved zombies lurking near the base, the base was unwilling to risk heavy losses to rescue them. Because of this, Xi Wei had a big argument with Zhou JiaTong, and the joy of the long-awaited reunion was suddenly shattered by the anger of the Survivor Base’s indifference.

There was a slight error in Chp 87.3 at the last sentence, where it mentioned that the survivor group went out to search for Gu MingYue and Jiang Yao, however, in Chp 88, it was mentioned that the two managed to find the survivor base on their own. I’m assuming that the author made a mistake here, so I have amended the last sentence in Chp 87.3 to fit with the plot that the original author went with.
