ch 118

What Su Yang saw was Gu Ziyan's fake inspection report. Knowing that everything was normal, he quietly relaxed. But according to Gu Ziyan's words, for the sake of insurance, it was better not to eat nuclei in the short term. Although he didn't want to, he didn't dare to disobey the man's instructions.

He thought this matter was over, but one night, he was once again shaken awake by Gu Ziyan. When he opened his eyes, they had already left the base and were in the suburbs outside the city.

Su Yang blinked his eyes and asked doubtfully, "It's so late, why did you bring me out?"

Gu Ziyan's expression was complicated, and he said in a deep voice, "I didn't bring you out."

If he didn't bring me out, did he walk out on his own? Su Yang was about to say how could that be, he didn't sleepwalk, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue, because he remembered that he unconsciously bit Gu Ziyan a few days ago.

He was a little flustered and stepped back half a step, afraid that he would hurt Gu Ziyan again. But the man firmly grabbed his wrist and firmly fixed him to his side.

Gu Ziyan was also a little flustered, and he took a few breaths before saying, "Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

When he asked this, Su Yang carefully thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he said discouragingly, "I don't know, I didn't eat nuclei these past few days, and now I'm very hungry."

Gu Ziyan's expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "Very hungry?"

Su Yang nodded and said sullenly, "I don't know if this counts as hunger, but I really want to eat. In the past, you would give me nuclei whenever I wanted to eat, but this time, you didn't let me eat for several days."

Gu Ziyan's heart was very distressed. Of course, he was willing to use everything he had to satisfy this child's desire, but this time the situation was special, and he had no other way. In the end, he still miscalculated.

He forgot that even if he didn't provide energy to this little zombie, this little thing would still follow its instinct to hunt for food. Moreover, being in a state of hunger for a long time would make this instinct even stronger, which was why it went out in the middle of the night.

Gu Ziyan held the little zombie's face in his hands and looked into his depressed eyes. Those eyes, which used to be carefree, were now full of worry. No one could bear to blame him. Gu Ziyan leaned over and kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry. I wasn't considerate enough this time. I'll give you a crystal nucleus when we get back."

Su Yang's eyes lit up, as if he was flattered. "Ziyan, are you serious? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Gu Ziyan pinched his chin and said with a smile, "I'm serious. But you're in a special situation now, so you shouldn't overdose."

Su Yang also knew that he was no longer the same as before. As long as he had something to eat, he didn't dare to bargain and nodded repeatedly.

= = =

Gu Ziyan's so-called "shouldn't overdose" was actually just a few level two crystal nuclei, with the best being level three. After Su Yang ate them, it was like drinking a few cups of water. He was still hungry when he should be, and the probability of sleepwalking at night increased day by day.

Moreover, because his level had increased, Gu Ziyan sometimes found it difficult to detect that he was missing. He had no choice but to handcuff the two of them together so that he could detect his movements immediately.

Su Yang shook the bright handcuffs on his wrists. He felt that he was now like a reform-through-labor prisoner. He couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. He really couldn't go on living like this!

Gu Ziyan naturally didn't feel good either. However, the fact that his Xiaxia was a zombie was still unknown to the outside world for the time being. These things couldn't be told to outsiders, and no one could discuss how to deal with it. He could only explore step by step.

Su Yang muttered, "It's not like no one knows that I'm a zombie. The uncle I met last time knew."

Gu Ziyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which uncle?"

"When we first arrived in City W, there was a very interesting uncle who asked us for food. Then he gave me a strange note and said to keep it well. He would be able to tell that I was a zombie."

Gu Ziyan was stunned. He stared at Su Yang's face for a long time before he said in surprise, "Baby, how can you be so smart?"

The little zombie was embarrassed by the praise. He reached out and scratched his head. The man quickly unlocked the handcuffs and turned to go to the study.

Su Yang blinked and followed him. He found that Gu Ziyan was rummaging through the books on the bookshelf. The room was also messed up by him, as if he was looking for something.

Su Yang found a clean place to sit down and asked heartlessly, "Are you looking for that note?"

Gu Ziyan didn't stop rummaging through the books. He raised his eyes and said, "Yes. Since that person can tell your identity, then the talisman he left must be useful … Damn it, where did I put it?"

With Gu Ziyan's super memory, not being able to find things would never happen to him. But recently, because of the little zombie's matter, he had spent too much energy. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and even his memory had deteriorated severely.

Su Yang walked behind him and hugged his waist. He softly comforted him, "Ziyan, don't worry. You're so smart. Nothing can stump you."

Gu Ziyan dragged him in front of him and kissed his light pink lips. When the kiss was over, he said with a confident smile that Su Yang was familiar with, "I remember where it is."

He walked to the end of the bookshelf and opened the exercise book that he used to give Su Yang homework. Sure enough, the talisman was in there.

Su Yang took the talisman and said dejectedly, "Although I found it, how do I use it?"

Gu Ziyan said, "It's not difficult. Although there are few disciples in the Xuan Clan, they are not rare. Don't forget your man's identity now. It's just finding a few capable people. It's not difficult for me."
