Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Shen Yi couldn't see the changes in himself. Although Su Tang kept saying his pupils had a hint of blood-red, darkening to a deeper crimson when he was angry, his vision remained unaffected. He stretched out a hand, clenching it into a fist, and tried to circulate the power within his body, only to find that the change was still minimal.

Su Tang blinked her bright eyes. "How is it? Do you feel anything different?"

Unlike her excitement, Shen Yi calmly shook his head. "Not yet."

Su Tang wasn't discouraged. "It must be that the level-seven crystal core isn't enough. It's okay, we'll find more high-level ones next time."

As her crimson lips parted and closed, Shen Yi didn't register her words at all. He only felt his mouth dry. He clearly didn't need to eat anymore, but at this moment, he desperately wanted to do something.

Seeing something was off with him, Su Tang frowned and reached out to touch his forehead. "Your temperature hasn't changed. Shen Yi, why is your face so red? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Unlike his icy body temperature, the young woman's hand was soft and warm, so comfortable that he almost sighed. But in the end, he only closed his eyes, concealing the desire in them.

"Maybe the power hasn't been fully absorbed yet."

Not only was his appearance unusual, but his voice was also different. It was no longer the icy tone of before, but rather laced with a hint of hoarseness, dangerous and alluring.

Su Tang vaguely sensed that Shen Yi was a bit dangerous at this moment. She wasn't foolish enough to approach him directly. "Then let's go back to the base. I'm hungry."

"Okay. What do you want to eat later?"

Despite his words, there wasn't much good food at the base. The arable land was limited. While those with abilities could go out on missions and exchange them for decent food, ordinary people were like the refugees from before, working every day but never having enough to eat.

Just like young Ji Ke's mother, the base needed development, but many machines and equipment were lacking, requiring manual labor. Even after working tirelessly every day until their arms were numb, the food they received was meager. Young adults were still alright, but many elderly people were either killed by zombies or starved to death. As a result, there were hardly any elderly people in the entire base.

Su Tang couldn't change this situation, but seeing it so often made her feel uncomfortable.

"Anything is fine. Whatever's available." Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned to ask Shen Yi, "Shen Yi, I remember you also have a regeneration ability."

Shen Yi half-opened his eyes. "What do you want to do?"

Su Tang said, "Since it's a regeneration ability, can you make damaged things grow back? For example, a vegetable. If I give you a leaf, can you regrow an entire one?"

The young woman was like a child who had found a new toy, her whole being brimming with excitement.

Shen Yi sat lazily in the driver's seat, glancing at her sideways. "I haven't tried." Then he asked, "Didn't you ever think of researching this ability of mine before?"

In her excitement, Su Tang blurted everything out. "No, I was busy keeping you alive back then. A lot of the research was just to fool the higher-ups."

If his regeneration ability could bring people back to life, then even if she were Lin Yang, she wouldn't be able to protect him. So she deliberately conducted several failed experiments, and gradually, the higher-ups paid less attention to him.

She spoke casually, but Shen Yi knew very well that her situation back then wasn't much better than his own. One wrong move and she could have lost her life.

And what was he doing at that time? He was hating her, wishing her dead. The young woman must have suffered a lot of grievances during those two years.

A wave of fear washed over Shen Yi, followed by a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, she was alright.

"I'll try when we get back."

"Okay."

There were very few goods at the market. After picking and choosing, they only managed to buy a bunch of wilted vegetables and a bruised apple. In the past, Su Tang wouldn't have even glanced at them, but now, just these few items cost her five level-one crystal cores.

She glanced at the relatively clean market and sighed inwardly. She wondered when she would be able to eat meat again.

Shen Yi had been watching her. Seeing her downcast expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What else do you want to eat?"

Su Tang shook her head. It wasn't a matter of what she wanted. There wasn't a single animal in the entire base. She couldn't possibly eat human flesh, could she?

"Nothing else. Let's go back and cook."

They still had some rice at home, so they didn't buy any this time.

Looking at the young woman spacing out after returning to the apartment, and then at the wilted vegetables in his hand, Shen Yi pondered for a moment and then activated his ability.

Five minutes later, the wilted vegetables regained their former vibrancy. Two minutes after that, the apple also became fresh and appealing.

He put the vegetables back in the kitchen, washed the apple, and brought it to the young woman.

Su Tang was still reminiscing about meat when, in the next second, she exclaimed, "Wow, Shen Yi, you actually did it!" Overcome with excitement, she even hugged him.

Of course, it was just a quick hug. Afterward, she held the apple and looked at it, almost reluctant to eat it.

This was the first time she had actively approached and hugged him. Shen Yi's entire body stiffened. He suppressed the urge to smile and, seeing the young woman staring at the apple in a daze, said, "Eat it. I washed it."

Su Tang wasn't in a hurry to eat. "Hey, this apple is so big, I definitely can't finish it. I'll give a piece to Ji Ke later, and also to Li Ya and Mu Sha. They always stay up late with me for overtime. It's quite pitiful."

And so, the man who had just been suppressing a smile now had a vein throbbing in his forehead.

The young woman had rattled off so many names, but why hadn't she mentioned him at all? Although he couldn't eat anymore, a token gesture would have been nice!

Shen Yi didn't understand it yet, but at this moment, he was green with envy.

Shen Yi snatched the apple from her hand and, under Su Tang's bewildered gaze, forced himself to take a bite.

He couldn't taste the sweetness of the fruit. It was like chewing wax, and he forced himself to swallow.

Su Tang… Su Tang was dumbfounded!

"Shen Yi, what are you doing?!"

Shen Yi said, "I suddenly wanted to eat an apple." Then he asked, "Can't I?"

This wasn't a question of whether he could eat it, but whether his body could handle it!

"Do you feel unwell anywhere?" Su Tang looked at him nervously, afraid that something might go wrong after he ate it.

Shen Yi originally wanted to shake his head. The apple wasn't tasty to him, but it didn't make him feel sick. However, seeing the young woman so worried, he changed his answer. "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

Su Tang panicked. After this guy turned into a zombie, apart from absorbing crystal cores and other people's abilities, he was like an immortal, neither eating nor drinking, nor using the restroom. In short, he was incredibly peculiar. And now, this peculiar person was telling her his stomach was uncomfortable.

"Is there anywhere else you feel unwell? Do you need to use the restroom? How about water? No, you don't drink water." As Su Tang rambled, a thought suddenly struck her. "Right, do you want blood?!"
