“Meow.”

Big Orange rushed forward and jumped up to open the door. Then, he called for the lights.

Yun You carried someone on her back and staggered in. Along the way, she supported herself against the wall and finally collapsed on a sofa in the hall with Han Qichuan.

She had overestimated herself. She intially felt that he was not very heavy. However, as time passed, she felt that her arm was no longer hers.

“Meow, Xiao You, get up quickly. Han Qichuan is still poisoned. You still have to save him!” Big Orange circled Yun You.

“Yes, I haven’t forgotten. I still have something important to do.” Yun You wanted to cry but had no tears. She had no choice but to drag her tired body up and pull out the system interface to search for the antidote.

“Meow, there’s no need to look for it. Han Qichuan hasn’t recovered, and the starting mission hasn’t been completed. You can’t buy anything from the system store.”

“…” What kind of tragic setting was this?

“Meow, Xiao You, you’re a repairman. In this apocalypse, you’re equivalent to a healing ability user. Although it costs 50 system coins each time, you were given 150 coins when you came! Meow, didn’t I say that?”

“…” Did you say that?

As if sensing Yun You’s aggrieved gaze, Big Orange carefully recalled again. Then, all the cat fur on its body seemed to stand up.

Meow, did I really forget to mention it?

Yun You placed one hand on Han Qichuan’s forehead and used the other hand to open the system interface under Big Orange’s guidance. She spent 50 coins and closed her eyes to feel the power Big Orange mentioned.

A gentle white light emerged from Yun You’s hand. Under the comfort of the white light, Han Qichuan’s frown gradually relaxed, and the black lines on his arm gradually dissipated.

As time passed, Yun You felt more and more strained.

Why was the healing process so tiring? Were all apocalyptic healing types like this?

Half an hour later, Yun You reached out and wiped her forehead that was covered in sweat. She let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt dizzy. Her legs bent and she fell on Han Qichuan.

“!” So this poison could not be cured by the Healing Element?!

Only the laboratory that had captured Han Qichuan had the antidote for the medicine he was poisoned with. Even high-level healing superpowers could not treat it. However, Yun You was different. Although the abilities of a repairman were similar to that of a healing superpower user, their level was higher.

However, any additional effects required a higher price. If Yun You treated those who could not be treated by the healing system, such as the medicine that Han Qichuan was injected with this time, the price would be being weak for an entire day, exhausted physically, and unable to continue using the healing ability the next day.

The side effects of the treatment came very quickly. Her entire body was overdrawn and she did not have any strength. Even if Han Qichuan smelled bad now, he could not smoke her away.

“Meow, Xiao You, it was my problem previously. I forgot to tell you.” Big Orange ran in front of Yun You and lowered its ears to admit its mistake.

“…” Yun You’s eyelids were twitching. She could only ask slowly again, “Big Orange… Think about what else you have to say… No, ha…”

Yun You yawned. Her voice was intermittent, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Big Orange didn’t notice Yun You’s state. He was looking at his cat claws and counting. “Meow, the shop can change locations. The system store can be opened after the initial mission is completed. Hmm, meow, the shop’s supermarket seems to be the same.”

Big Orange paused for a while and thought about it. “Meow, right, there should be a special reward later. It seems to be a book or something. I can’t remember.”

Not hearing Yun You’s reply, Big Orange looked up in confusion. “Meow, why did you fall asleep?” It jumped onto Yun You’s body.

“Big Orange, stop fooling around. I’m so tired!” Yun You’s blurry voice sounded. She waved her hand and chased Big Orange away. She turned around and hugged Han Qichuan’s waist before continuing to sleep.

Big Orange, who had been chased down, was speechless.

Meow, forget it. Xiao You is too tired today. I won’t pick a fight today.

Big Orange closed the door of the shop and took out a blanket from the space to cover Yun You. Then, it dragged out its small blanket and found a random spot to circle her.

In the end, he turned off the lights and went to sleep. After the lights went out, the shop quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, leaving only an empty space.

In the darkness of the shop, the unconscious Han Qichuan seemed to be trapped by a nightmare and began to struggle continuously. There seemed to be a small glowing gray ball flickering in his chest. The stronger the light, the more uncomfortable he seemed to be and the more he struggled.

Slap!!

In her sleep, Yun You slapped Han Qichuan’s chest in a daze. The gray ball of light seemed to have been severely injured and quickly shrank before finally disappearing.

The night finally calmed down.

5:30 A.M.

Yun You dreamed that she had fallen into a sewage ditch and was woken up by the smell. When she opened her eyes, she saw a torn short shirt. She was now lying on Han Qichuan’s chest. She hurriedly got up. The blanket on her body slipped to the ground, and her cheeks and ears turned red.

Before he woke up, Yun You quickly put away the blanket and patted her smooth face. She took a deep breath to make herself look normal. After all, this was not entirely her responsibility. She did not know that she would faint after using her ability.

However, Yun You didn’t have the energy to think about this.

After calming down, she realized that because of the corruption on Han Qichuan’s body, the smell of blood was too strong, causing her to smell like this now.

No wonder she dreamed of falling into the trash pool and then thrown into the sewage ditch by the monster!

No, she couldn’t stand this smell anymore. She had to clean up. She still had to open the shop today. With this smell, which customer would come in to buy things?

“Ha~ Meow.” Big Orange woke up when it heard the commotion.

“Hey, Big Orange, you’re awake. It’s time to wash you up.” Yun You went to Big Orange’s side and sniffed.

“Meow!”

“The protest is invalid. The captain instructed us before we came.”

Yun You opened the system interface and pulled out the layout of the shop. This function could only be used after bringing Han Qichuan back and she had only completed half of the mission.

The shop had two floors. The first floor belonged to the place where Yun You sold things. The second floor was the area for daily living.

After confirming the location, Yun You had no choice but to carry Han Qichuan to the second floor like yesterday. At the same time, she did not forget to call Big Orange.

“Big Orange, don’t try to run. Hurry up and follow me.”

Big Orange, who was about to escape when Yun You wasn’t paying attention: “…”

On the second floor, the bathroom was an indoor bathroom. Yun You carried Han Qichuan into the bedroom. After placing him at the side, she picked up Big Orange with one hand and entered the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, she found a hairdryer in the room and quickly dealt with Big Orange.

“Alright, go play by yourself. You can go down and watch the shop or stay at this floor.”

“Meow.” Big Orange shook its body and walked downstairs elegantly.

After washing Big Orange, Yun You turned her gaze back to Han Qichuan, who was sitting on the seat.

Should I clean him up? Yes, he should still be awake for a while. Forget it, I’ll wipe him down. Besides, his clothes shouldn’t be comfortable. I’ll just be a good person till to the end.

She could also take a look at the wounds on his body and help him deal with them. Yesterday, she had only cured him of the poison.

Without any hesitation, Yun You, who had thought it through, stripped Han Qichuan naked except for a pair of underpants. Her movements were fast and not sloppy. However, when she was unbuckling his belt, she paused.
