Princess, I am really a good person

Chapter 23 Phalanges
  With two clangs, Zhou Mingyi threw the curled blade to the ground, staggered two steps, and sat down on the ground.
  He groped around on his body, took out a flattened cigarette, picked it up with slightly trembling hands, held it in his mouth and lit it.

There is no part of my body that does not hurt, so much that I am even a little numb.

There were corpses on the ground in front of him. He didn't know how long it took before they stopped, and then they fell down one after another like robots without power.

The number of infected people in this city indeed exceeded his expectation, at least thousands of people, and now they have all fallen here.

"Master." Zana dragged her scarred body to Zhou Mingyi's side.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Mingyi looked at her.

"I'm fine, and so is the princess," Zana said in a weak tone, "your injuries."

"It's no big deal," Zhou Mingyi looked back at Alyssa.

She was also covered in blood at this time, but it was true that Arisana was the least injured among the three, and she had been protecting her.
  At this moment, she was leaning against the car door, staring blankly at the blood in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

"We have to leave quickly. These infected people will become sources of infection after they die. You will get infected if you stay here. Moreover, now they also know our location and will catch up soon." Zhou Mingyi pinched After putting out the cigarette butt and trying to stand up, Shana quickly went to help him.

"No need to help me, you go and rest." Zhou Mingyi broke away from her support, searched among the dead for a moment, and soon found the old believer.

He fell down and landed on his head. Half of his head was shattered, with red and white bits mixed on the ground.

We searched his body, but after all, he was just an abandoned old believer. He didn't have anything valuable on him, such as medicine bottles, lighters, and the like. The most valuable ones were two ancient coins.

But in the lining pocket of his clothes, he found a book with a black cover, the contents of which were obscure, and half a finger bone hanging from the spine of the book.

This is the token of the members of the Black Phoenix. Before joining the organization, the fingers of their right hands will be amputated and made into this token to hang on their gospel. This item allows their members to send messages to each other.

The old believer had most likely reported their whereabouts to the Black Phoenix before, and now they had probably brought people over. The situation was bad enough.

Zhou Mingyi burned this uncomfortable thing on fire so that they could locate themselves through this thing.

Seeing that the entire book and finger bones were burned to ashes, he turned back to the car.

He took out two bottles of recovery potion, gave one to Zana, and handed the other to Alyssa.

The other party accepted it wordlessly, holding it in his hand but not drinking it. He lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"Stop being sentimental, shouldn't you be happy to be alive now?" Zhou Mingyi said beside her, opened the front cover of the car, and a thick smoke poured out.

Alyssa looked at the blood on her hands and her lips trembled: "I just haven't gotten used to it yet."

"This place is like this. Get in the car and stay there. If you get infected, I won't be able to explain to the kingdom." Zhou Mingyi wiped off the blood on his hands and began to repair the car.

The situation was not good now. The off-road vehicle had been severely damaged in the previous siege and was almost broken. It barely started to move, but it completely stalled just outside the city.

Zhou Mingyi took out the map and looked at it. It was only a few dozen kilometers away from the border area.

"Let's walk. It should be no problem to arrive before dawn."

I got out of the car and packed up, taking all the necessary items with me, including the Tian Lihua fruit and the Thief's Gloves.

"Master, why don't we take a rest first?" Shana looked at Zhou Mingyi, who was shaking a little, and asked worriedly.

Fortunately for her and Alyssa, the injuries were not serious. Sana just had too much energy and had a lot of recovery. Now she has recovered a lot with the recovery potion.
  In the battle just now, Zhou Mingyi was the most seriously injured. He was hit and slashed countless times, and there was even a cut on his shoulder that was deep enough to show the bone. The recovery potion only stopped his bleeding, and He used his imprinting ability too much and almost exhausted his spiritual power. It is incredible that he can still stay awake now.

"No need, they will have caught up if we delay any longer." Zhou Mingyi sorted out a backpack of supplies and carried it on his back.

"Then at least bandage the wounds on your body first."

"I said there's no need." Zhou Mingyi took a deep breath and stood firm.

But as soon as he put on his backpack and turned around and took a step, his eyes went dark and he fell on his back. Zana's exclamations in his ears gradually faded away.

His consciousness slowly returned to his body, and he felt a warm feeling coming from his body, but he was so weak that it was difficult to raise his hands. I opened my eyes, and my vision was blurry, with firelight flickering.

After the scene became clear, he found that it was an abandoned room, with a fire burning in the center, crackling, and a pot on it, cooking something inside. The windows were blocked by cabinets to prevent the cold wind from leaking out. Come in.

He was naked, lying on a rough straw mat, his body covered with bandages. He wanted to speak, but his throat was so painful that he couldn't make a sound.

"You're awake." Alyssa's voice came from beside her.

She only had a coat on her body, revealing her fair and slender thighs, with a bandage on her left calf.

She walked to Zhou Mingyi, helped him up, and handed him a cup of hot water. He reached out to take it, but was dodged.

"I'll feed you. Your wounds have just been taken care of."

Zhou Mingyi put down his hand and let Alyssa feed him water.

The warm water moistens the throat and the pain in the throat subsides.

After drinking the water, Alyssa asked:

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Where are we?" Zhou Mingyi asked

"We found a small house on the edge of the cemetery. It is probably the home of the tombkeeper." Alyssa replied.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"A few hours, it's almost dawn now," Alyssa said.

"Too much time is wasted" Zhou Mingyi sighed.

"Okay, you should have a good rest first. You were injured too seriously. When Shana was bandaging you, she thought you wouldn't survive the wound, and she cried there for a long time." Alyssa helped him. Lie down and fold the clothes behind his head.

"Where are the Shana people?" Zhou Mingyi asked.

"Going out to collect firewood."

Alyssa stood up, filled a bowl with the pot next to the fire, came to Zhou Mingyi, knelt down, scooped up a spoonful, blew it to cool, and brought it to his mouth.

This is probably canned beef cooked with brown bread and peas.

"Is it hot?" she asked.

"It's okay." Zhou Mingyi took a bite and said.

"I didn't expect you to be quite good at taking care of people, princess."

"I'm not the kind of person who opens his mouth with clothes on his hands and food on his hands." Alyssa said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, being able to be fed by the eldest princess of Osius is not in vain for my injury." Zhou Mingyi said with a smile.

Alyssa looked at him and curled her lips helplessly.

"You are really desperate. Didn't you think you would die?"

"How can I get your approval if I don't work hard to perform, princess? I'm doing this for my own future." Zhou Mingyi said.

Alyssa didn't say anything more and silently fed him.

Soon the bowl was bottomed out, Alyssa put the bowl aside and wiped Zhou Mingyi's mouth.
