Lin Ci'an sent a few cheering emojis, followed by his text: "A new day brings good news."

Teammates continued to post messages in the group, full of concern for Gu Chi and praise for Zhong Duoduo's care. They all expressed their hope to see Gu Chi as soon as possible, and some suggested taking turns to accompany him in the hospital so that Zhong Duoduo could have some time to rest.

Zhong Duoduo looked at the messages and felt a warm current surging in his heart. Zhong Duoduo gently turned the screen of his mobile phone to Gu Chi, who looked at the caring messages one after another, as if they were a warm current slowly flowing through Gu Chi's heart. When Gu Chi saw the messages from his teammates, his eyes softened significantly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted a little.

"Look, everyone cares about you." Zhong Duoduo's voice sounded with a hint of joy, because Gu Chi woke up and recovered from his injuries. He had always been secretly in love with Gu Chi, but never had the courage to confess, so he could only hide his feelings in such care and concern.

Gu Chi half leaned on the bed, turned his head slightly, and looked at Zhong Duoduo beside him. The sunlight shining into the ward early in the morning outlined his tired features. There was a faint dark blue under his eyes, and his hair was a little messy. Obviously, he had no time to take care of it, but in such a mess, there was a kind of inadvertent lazy beauty. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, which might be due to fatigue or hidden worries. His cheeks were thinner than usual, and the slightly rough stubble on his chin revealed that he had been working hard for days and had no time to rest properly.

Gu Chi noticed that Zhong Duoduo still had a smile on his face when he looked at him. Gu Chi seemed to sense something and looked away. He wanted to thank Duoduo, but he was hesitant and couldn't utter the words. Yes, he felt that Duoduo liked him, but he hesitated.

At this moment, the door of the hospital was gently pushed open, and teammates walked in one after another, each holding some small gifts and rare fruits in the last days, with caring smiles on their faces. Their arrival made this originally quiet ward full of vitality.

"Brother Gu, look, we are here to see you!" Wei Xianyu said jokingly, but he also nodded to Zhong Duoduo, "Duoduo, you have worked hard too. We will take turns to come, and you should also have a good rest."

Although Zhong Duoduo wanted to stay with Gu Chi all the time, he couldn't show it too obviously, so he agreed. "Okay, I'll go to rest soon, Brother Gu is in your hands."

Lin Ci'an and Chu Ziyu lived far away from here, and saw this warm scene when they came. Chu Ziyu put down the healing potion disguised as milk that he had exchanged from the system space.

"Brother, is everything okay?" Chu Ziyu is getting more and more comfortable calling him brother now, but Gu Chi does act like a brother and is a very reliable person.

"It's okay, just rest for a few more days." Gu Chi looked at Chu Ziyu, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, and thought about his relationship with Lin Ci'an, how precious it was in this end times.

Thinking of Zhong Duoduo again, the living conditions in the end times are so bad, and he often goes on missions and gets injured, so he can't give Duoduo a stable life. Gu Chi has actually felt Duoduo's concern for him a long time ago, but he has never thought much about it. If he is asked to stop interacting with Duoduo now, he will feel reluctant.

Knock, knock, knock, the knock on the door gradually became clearer, and Gu Chi's thoughts were pulled back to reality. The laughter in the room also stopped abruptly. Everyone's eyes turned to the door at the same time.

Zhong Duoduo stood up and walked to the door, gently grasped the door handle with his fingers, and slowly opened the door. Outside the door, a familiar figure came into everyone's sight - it was Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao stood outside the threshold. He looked a little hesitant, as if he had been wandering in the corridor outside for a long time before knocking on the door.

"I came to see Gu Chi," Lin Xiao's voice was low, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.

When Zhong Duoduo saw this woman, he was furious and scolded her. "What are you doing here? Go away, it's really unlucky."

"Duoduo, let her in." Gu Chi's voice was faint, but it was heard by everyone. His attitude towards Lin Xiao surprised everyone present. Although Zhong Duoduo was reluctant, he still made way.

Lin Xiao walked into the room slowly. She couldn't look directly at Gu Chi. The guilt was like a heavy burden on his shoulders. After all, she had never harmed anyone before she traveled through time. Moreover, his purpose of looking for the sheepskin map was to establish a safe zone to benefit more people. However, he didn't expect that the sheepskin map was fake, which led to this series of events.

No one spoke in the room. They all remembered that it was Lin Xiao's plan that caused Gu Chi's injury.

Gu Chi stared at Lin Xiao, his eyes were complicated. Lin Xiao was once a partner, but she did whatever it took to fulfill her wish, which eventually led to a series of unfortunate events, and Gu Chi was one of the victims. However, there was no hatred in Gu Chi's eyes, only deep understanding - understanding the weaknesses of human nature, and understanding that everyone can make mistakes.

"Lin Xiao, you're here." Gu Chi's voice was calm but dignified.

Lin Xiao seemed to be shocked by Gu Chi's calmness. He hesitated for a moment and took a few steps forward. His eyes finally fell on Gu Chi, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"Gu Chi, I was wrong about this matter. And it was because of me that you got hurt in the end. I didn't come here to ask for your forgiveness. I plotted against you first, and I was wrong. I got the news through some channels that there was a sheepskin map where we could find the safe zone, so I aimed at your team and helped our team attract firepower. This is a fact and it is irrefutable. So I came here today to compensate you all, and I hope you can accept it." Lin Xiao's voice was earnest.

The others in the room remained silent, their eyes moving back and forth between Gu Chi and Lin Xiao, waiting for Gu Chi's reaction.

Gu Chi took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I accept your apology and compensation, but from now on we can't cooperate again."

Lin Xiao knew that this was the best result, and she was very satisfied. Then she took out her compensation. Why did Lin Xiao believe in the safe zone described in the book? Because she had found a lot of good things through books before. Today, she took out this compensation, which was the most valuable thing she had found before.
