Lying on the ground, Ye Xuan looked at the young woman staring back at him with wide eyes. In those clear eyes, he saw fear and horror.

Realizing that she was afraid of him, Ye Xuan’s fingers around Liu Yun’s ankle subconsciously tightened.

"Ugh!"

Hearing Liu Yun’s pained grunt, Ye Xuan came back to his senses. His grip on her ankle loosened slightly, but he didn’t let go.

After a long moment of silence, Qiu Sixun finally came back to his senses. Looking at Liu Yun’s wounds, which were still bleeding, he calmly said, "Brother Xuan, her legs are injured. You should let go of her ankle first."

When Ye Xuan heard this, he looked at the blood covering Liu Yun’s legs and ankles before slowly releasing her.

The second he let go, Liu Yun sprang to her feet and rushed toward the door. However, before she could take a step, Ye Xuan grabbed the hem of her pants.

Liu Yun instantly lost her balance. Seeing the approaching ground, she couldn’t help but curse under her breath, "Grass!"

Closing her eyes, she waited for the incoming pain. However, instead of hitting the hard floor, she crashed into something softer and warmer.

"Ugh!"

Hearing the soft grunt beneath her, Liu Yun opened her eyes. When her gaze met Ye Xuan’s cold eyes, goosebumps instantly covered her entire body.

For some reason, Ye Xuan’s gaze didn’t seem like he was looking at a stranger, but rather like he was looking at a long-lost treasure. Intense and filled with crazy possessiveness.

Liu Yun swallowed hard, then looked down, trembling in fear.

Seeing that she was lying on top of him, she quickly rolled off Ye Xuan’s body. Because she was in such a hurry, Liu Yun used too much force and crashed into the wall.

Bam!

"Ow...!" Covering her forehead, she was in so much pain that she curled up and trembled.

Lying on the ground, Ye Xuan turned to the side and stared at her.

As tears welled up in Liu Yun’s eyes, Qiu Sixun exchanged glances with Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng. The three of them could clearly see helplessness, curiosity, and confusion in one another’s eyes.

’What the hell are they doing?’

After a brief silence, Qiu Sixun finally crouched in front of Liu Yun and said, "Young Lady, don’t be afraid. We are not bad people."

When Liu Yun heard that, she rolled her eyes inwardly.

’That’s exactly what bad people say in novels and dramas.’

Seeing the look on her face, Qiu Sixun knew she didn’t believe him. After thinking for a few seconds, he took out his identification card from his wallet.

Showing it to Liu Yun, he calmly introduced himself. "Young Lady, my name is Qiu Sixun. I’m a professor at First National Medical University and the Chief of the Surgery Department at First National Hospital."

Glancing at Liu Yun’s bleeding legs, he added, "You are injured. The smell of blood will attract zombies, so we need to stop the bleeding as soon as possible."

When Liu Yun heard this, she followed Qiu Sixun’s line of sight. She was shocked when she saw the blood staining her pants and covering her legs and ankles.

Looking at the deep scratches and wounds on her legs, she realized she must have injured herself while climbing through the broken window.

Since the System was offline at the moment, Liu Yun couldn’t buy medicine to treat her wounds, so she had no choice but to accept Qiu Sixun’s help.

Nodding in response, she said, "Thank you."

After receiving her permission, Qiu Sixun smiled slightly and began cleaning her wounds.

While he worked, Gu Zhenwei smiled at Liu Yun and introduced himself. "Hi, my name is Gu Zhenwei. You look younger than us, so you can call me Elder Brother Zhenwei."

Gesturing toward Lan Zuancheng and Ye Xuan, he continued, "These are my childhood friends, Lan Zuancheng and Ye Xuan."

Hearing this, Lan Zuancheng nodded at Liu Yun while Ye Xuan just stared at her.

After introducing themselves, Gu Zhenwei asked, "Younger Sister, what is your name?"

Liu Yun looked at Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng, then at Qiu Sixun, who was silently tending to her wounds. Sensing a hot gaze from the side, she turned and saw Ye Xuan staring at her.

Swallowing hard, she thought fearfully, ’Now that the System is offline and the Beginner Protection Shield is almost gone, it’s better to get on the Zombie Emperor’s and his friends’ good side. As for escaping, I will wait until the System comes back online.’

With that thought in mind, Liu Yun forced out a smile that looked uglier than a cry. "M-my name is Liu Yun."

She wanted to add, "Nice to meet you," but her mouth refused to cooperate.

Noticing her fear toward Ye Xuan, Gu Zhenwei raised an eyebrow while observing the two of them with interest.

’This younger sister seems to be afraid of Brother Xuan. Could it be that they know each other?’

Feeling curious, Gu Zhenwei asked, "Younger Sister, do you know Brother Xuan? You seem to be afraid of him."

The moment he asked that question, Liu Yun’s face turned pale. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands in denial.

"No, no, no. I don’t know him at all. This is the first time I’ve met you guys."

Gu Zhenwei didn’t expect that answer. Glancing at Ye Xuan, he noticed the subtle change in his expression.

’Judging from Brother Xuan’s expression, he must know this younger sister. There must be some secrets between these two people.’

While Gu Zhenwei was speculating about the relationship between Liu Yun and Ye Xuan, Qiu Sixun calmly said, "It’s done. Miss Liu, make sure the wounds don’t come into contact with water until they scab over. Otherwise, they may become infected."

Hearing this, Liu Yun looked away from Ye Xuan. Nodding at Qiu Sixun, she sincerely said, "Thank you, Doctor Qiu."

Qiu Sixun shook his head and said, "No need to call me Doctor Qiu. Just calling me elder brother is enough."

Now that he had finished treating her wounds, it was time to find out Liu Yun’s motives for saving Ye Xuan and the origin of that mysterious medicine.

As he put the first aid kit back into his backpack, Qiu Sixun asked, "Miss Liu, may I ask what you fed Brother Xuan just now?"
