Outside, that mutant creature indeed didn't find anything. Not only that, with its low intelligence, it suspected its companion of mischief and even fought with it. There were constant noises coming from above, along with the roar of the mutant creature.

Because they became busy, naturally they didn't have time to check the snow pit.

They escaped from danger.

Inside the deep pit, Guan Yi suddenly made a soft groan, as if experiencing some pain. Wen Hao turned her head to "look" at him, but it was pitch black all around, without a trace of light, unable to see anything.

This place is at least one or two meters away from the ground, so there's no need to worry about being heard while speaking or doing other things. Wen Hao reached into her pocket to grab a small flashlight, but Guan Yi stopped her.

In the darkness, she couldn't see Guan Yi, but Guan Yi could see her.

He didn't explain, but firmly held her hand, not allowing her to take the small flashlight.

Wen Hao hesitated for a moment, then withdrew her hand from her pocket, not insisting on taking the flashlight.

Because her teammate respected her, if she didn't want to look, he wouldn't look. She also respected her teammate and wouldn't do things he didn't want her to do.

She didn't even ask why.

In the darkness, Guan Yi let out a long sigh of relief, but soon, the pain surged again, causing him to shrink his body in pain.

Wen Hao heard it, a suppressed, agonizing moan in the darkness.

Although she didn't know what the other person was enduring, just by listening to the sound, she could tell how much pain he was in. It was painful to the point where his figure couldn't stand steadily and leaned towards her.

The pain made him grab onto her shoulder, his fingers trembling.

The pain caused heavy gasps to come from the narrow space.

The pain caused the other person to gradually become silent, as if they had died.

Wen Hao held him, clearly feeling his body gradually losing strength, slumping against her. He had to rely on her to maintain the current state. If she let go, she had no doubt that he would instantly collapse to the ground.

There was no movement on his side at all.

One second, two seconds, still no response. Wen Hao couldn't help it anymore and raised her hand to touch something that was slightly pressed against her. It was hard and heavy, like an iron spike.

It was horizontal, with the other end - inserted into his chest.

She felt a lot of sticky substance and the strong smell of blood permeating the air. Because the underground space was small and the air didn't circulate, and she was accustomed to death and injury, she knew very well that it was blood.

Wen Hao's hand stopped for a moment, and after a while, she continued to feel. The iron spike was indeed inserted into his chest, and she felt the junction of the hard iron and the soft part.

There was more sticky substance there, and it was the source of it. Guan Yi was injured.

But the two of them were together the whole time, and she didn't see any mutant hurting him. Moreover, that iron spike looked a bit like the one he created with his metal ability.

They had a brief confrontation before. Guan Yi followed her to the small forest, and after she attacked him, she saw Guan Yi using that iron spike. It fell to the ground, and she picked it up. The shape, sharpness, and weight were all similar.

He did it to himself.

Why did he do this? Wen Hao didn't think too much about it. Since he did it, there must be a reason. She chose to trust this teammate who stood in front of her when disaster struck.

He wouldn't harm her.

Wen Hao continued to hold onto him, waiting for the outcome.

During this time, she couldn't help but have random thoughts about the teammate who concealed his abilities and ended up being contaminated and mutated in the disaster area.

In such a narrow space, and with such a close distance, it would be difficult for her to defend herself if Guan Yi also mutated.

She thought about something that happened in the disaster area before. The mutant in the disaster area had the ability to change its appearance. It killed a teammate and transformed into that teammate's appearance, then deceitfully led them safely to the depths of the disaster area.

It "helped" them multiple times, gaining their trust, only to lead them to its lair and devour them.

It is somewhat similar to the current situation, where there is no one here except her and Guan Yi, trapped underground. With her abilities, she cannot escape from this situation in a short period of time.

Wen Hao has thought about many things. With limited space and restricted movement, she can only rely on her mind. Many ideas come to her naturally, as if her brain is digging deep into her memories to keep her alert. Nevertheless, her hand firmly holds onto Guan Yi, refusing to let go.

She even hugs his slightly slumped body tighter.

Her actions are somewhat irrational, she knows. A smarter person would let go of the other person and hold a knife against him, fully activating her abilities to guard against him.

Wen Hao hasn't done any of that. Perhaps she is a bit lacking in nerves. At this moment, she can still tilt her head and ignore the weight on her body to listen to the sounds outside.

The sounds on the ground have become much quieter, but there are still a few. She estimates that the mutated creatures outside have stopped fighting and are picking up the pieces of meat and exploded crystal cores on the feeding ground.

The crystal core is the hardest part of the human body. Even if it explodes, it just shatters into many pieces, with the energy inside quickly dissipating. It needs to be picked up and digested as soon as possible to have any effect.

On the ground, there are not only fragments of the crystal core from that esper, but also three mutated creatures. It would be enough for them to pick for a long time.

Wen Hao didn't wait for the mutated creatures above to finish picking up the crystal cores and leave. Instead, the person in her arms made a movement first. She heard a soft groan, and it seemed that Guan Yi had awakened.

A large amount of energy began to circulate in the air. As an esper herself, Wen Hao could clearly sense that the energy was entering Guan Yi's body. Gradually, Guan Yi gained strength, propping himself up and standing up from her embrace.

In the darkness, painful and restrained moans could be heard again. Soon, there were rustling sounds of clothes being touched. After a while, someone touched the pocket on her chest, and a flashlight was taken out.

The narrow space suddenly lit up. The light first shone on the ceiling, then quickly changed direction and was placed in her hand.

This means she can see now.

Wen Hao held the flashlight and shone it towards Guan Yi beside her. His current condition is much better. The iron cone on his chest is gone, and he has changed into a new set of clothes. His complexion is even healthier and rosy than before.

The frostbite on his cheeks and ears are gone.

Wen Hao tilts her head and looks at his hair. The black hair that was stained with blood and corroded in the snow cave has also returned to its original state.

She reaches out her hand and touches his long hair, her fingers even passing through it, inch by inch.

It's not an illusion. It has indeed recovered in a short period of time.
