After sending Li Han away, Duan Yin hurriedly discussed with Hou Ying the feasibility of building a base here at a high altitude and the required manpower and supplies.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Duan Yin and Xuanyuan Zhen were called away due to the distribution of supplies at the base.
Hou Ying originally wanted to let the big guys rest first, but Li Xuanyuan called to stop the original team members, and asked the Wunan five people to go outside the car to help keep others away from the car.
The leaves of the twin banyan trees were all over the carriage, preventing the possibility of eavesdropping by hearing supernatural beings. Li Xuanyuan's solemn expression made everyone feel shocked.
"Dongfang, tell me about yesterday's situation first."
Everyone was staring at Li Xuanyuan waiting for his "bad news", Dongfang Bai didn't expect that he would be named first, he was stunned for a moment before he said: "Xuanyuan is the matter that Brother Monkey absorbed my and Xiaohai's supernatural energy yesterday. "
He organized his words and said realistically: "Yesterday, Xiao Hai and Brother Hou and I went to open the way for drainage. About two-thirds of the time, I suddenly felt a severe loss of power energy in my body. I didn't use it at that time. The supernatural power, so I was taken aback, and was about to talk to Brother Monkey, but found that the energy was sucked away by Brother Monkey. Xiao Hai also looked at the same situation." The environment last night was not suitable for talking about this matter, Hou Ying kept talking about it. I kept it in my heart, originally I wanted to talk about it after everyone had a good rest, but Xuanyuan couldn't wait.
After listening to Dongfang Bai's remarks, Hou Ying also talked about her feelings at that time.
"... When the energy in my body is still abundant, I involuntarily start to absorb energy from the outside world, as if the energy is lower than that line, the body will give an alarm."
Hou Ying was very troubled by this abnormal situation, and the others were also quite surprised. The whole team was able to maintain calm thinking without being driven by the heavy atmosphere. Not long after, Liu Zhan guessed: "Brother Monkey, is it possible that you are about to break through to level seven?"
Judging from the information they have so far, only when they are leveling up will superhumans have very high requirements for energy reserves.
Hou Ying was taken aback, neither he nor Li Xuanyuan had thought of this before, before they could express their views, Qiao Daye excitedly said: "Brother Monkey, let's try it and find out." He patted the person not far away. He and Su Fenghe were terrified by Hou Ying before. When they were at a loss, they thought of bringing as many crystal cores as possible, and carried them back and forth several times. Except for the four boxes absorbed by Hou Ying, there are still seven or eight big boxes left.
Su Fenghe simply got up and moved a box of crystal nuclei in front of Hou Ying.
What Li Xuanyuan was about to say, he just mentioned an opening remark. He watched Hou Ying put his hand into the iron box and saw him absorb the crystal nucleus smoothly, and then said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing, I want you to listen to it." Listen."
"When I picked up Hou Ying, the physical contact also produced energy backfeeding, and at that time...Hou Ying's eyes were full of black and red bloodshot eyes, and her complexion turned blue...there was a tendency to turn into a zombie."
"..."
Everyone gasped.
Even Hou Ying herself was shocked and stunned. He subconsciously touched his eyes and face, and Li Xuanyuan held them in dry and warm hands.
"Don't worry. After Hou Ying got the energy supplement from me, the zombified appearance on his face disappeared."
Li Xuanyuan's words didn't comfort everyone. Meng Hanghai felt anxious, and struggled to say: "Uncle Hou, Uncle Xuanyuan, I saw it before. When you were still in the sky, Uncle Hou, your eyes turned red. You have to come back." Sometimes you looked down at me, and the whites of your eyes were barely visible at that time—but I wasn’t afraid at all, Uncle Hou, you were still talking to me at the time, and I knew you were my Uncle Hou, no different from usual.”
Meng Hanghai's words completely shattered Hou Ying's illusion that the emergence of zombies was only short-lived and accidental.
Seeing Hou Ying's downcast expression, the sensitive child changed the subject and eagerly expressed his truest thoughts.
He doesn't think Hou Ying is any different from usual, and he doesn't think he needs to be on guard against anything. No matter what kind of Hou Ying is, he can follow and trust without hesitation.
Hou Ying patted his head, and heard Gongsun Jing say: "Listen to Xiaohai, Brother Hou didn't have the ability to think about zombies at the time. Brother Hou... did you feel at that time? Did you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, I don't feel anything." Hou Ying shook her head, her brows were tightly frowned, and he repeated in a low voice: "I didn't realize that I really didn't feel anything at all."
Wang Hehe got up and squatted beside him, hugging his arm tightly, "Uncle, nothing will happen. You have already defeated the zombie virus, so it doesn't matter if there is a little sequelae, as long as you are alive, I don't care about anything else!"
He is sincere and paranoid.
Hou Ying: "It seems that the zombie virus is still in a corner of my body, and it may take advantage of it at any time."
Wang Hehe pinched his arm tightly, Hou Ying smiled reassuringly, and asked Gongsun Jing to check him again. But what was disappointing but expected was that Gongsun Jing didn't find anything wrong with Hou Ying, nor did she detect the existence of the zombie virus.
Qiao Daye said: "Assuming that the zombie virus and Brother Monkey have been fighting in the body, judging from yesterday's situation, if Brother Monkey's supernatural energy is below a certain level, it will revive and become active. In this way Come on, we must ensure Brother Monkey's energy reserves, and we must not allow the zombie virus to exploit any gaps!"
Ji Yao: "That's right! There are not enough crystal nuclei in the Yangtze River base. We can go out to hunt and kill crystal nuclei tomorrow, and the supply of crystal nuclei will definitely not be short."
Everyone stared at Hou Ying closely, for fear that if they lost sight of something, something would happen that would make them regret not keeping a close eye on Hou Ying.
Hou Ying withdrew her hand from the iron box, a box of crystal nuclei had been absorbed while talking, and Su Fenghe, who was silent but equally solemn, quickly replaced Hou Ying with a box of crystal nuclei. Under the earnest eyes of everyone, Hou Ying put her hands into the iron box with a heavy feeling. He sighed: "If it wasn't for Xuanyuan's reminder, I might not have discovered this for a long time in the future. The lack of energy did not cause this abnormality before, but now it seems that it is indeed because of breaking through the seventh level... "
If there was no shadow of the zombie virus, everyone would have cheered for the news of level seven.
But now, apart from the solemnity, they felt an inexplicable panic.
When Hou Ying was infected by the zombie virus, they all felt that the sky was about to fall. Hou Ying "healed" later, but the nerve of panic was not necrotic, it was always there, and now the old incident was brought up again, and the cruel reality was before them, which easily awakened their fearful memory at that time.
Gongsun Jing: "Assume that Brother Hou already has antibodies in his body, but at the same time, if the zombie virus coexists. Then the antibodies and the virus must no longer fight all the time, and whether the antibodies are dominant is directly related to Brother Monkey's energy reserves. The second child said Yes, Brother Hou’s energy supply must not be shortened. The energy of low-level crystal nuclei may not be of much use to Brother Hou, we must find a way to obtain a third-level or higher crystal nucleus for Brother Hou.”
Dongfang Bai said: "Then what are you waiting for, anyway, I'm not tired at all, let's hunt crystal nuclei immediately!"
He said that the wind is the rain, and Hou Ying laughed and said: "Let's finish this matter first, and there is no rush for a while. Although I didn't realize it before, I still have confidence in my own body, at least not for a while. I was affected by the zombie virus and lost my mind in a few minutes, but I am still human."
Hou Ying pointed to her head.
Dongfang Bai sat back on his seat, still lingering in fear and said, "Brother Monkey, you will be fine."
The solemn look that seemed to be about to swear was not so much comforting Hou Ying as giving herself a reassurance.
Hou Ying nodded and said, "Of course I'll be fine."
Liu Zhan: "Brother Monkey, you must be aware of the limit of the lack of energy. No matter what happens in the future, you must not let the energy in your body fall below this limit, and you must not give the zombie virus a chance. We will also I will always bring supplementary crystal nuclei with me, unless it is absolutely necessary, even if it is to send us energy, it must be ordered as soon as possible."
Everyone echoed, they were never willing to make Hou Ying sacrifice anything because of themselves.
Feeling warm in Hou Ying's heart, she smiled lightly and said, "I remember, don't worry. The zombie virus can't kill me. If I can beat it once, I will never give it a chance to turn around. Believe me."
Hou Ying's voice seemed to carry infinite power, making everyone's uneasy hearts fall into place.
Su Fenghe stood up again, and in less than two minutes, Hou Ying had already absorbed the energy of the new box of crystal nuclei.
Hou Ying stopped him and said: "Gongsun is right. These low-level crystal nuclei are not very useful to me, but they are life-saving things for the supernatural beings in the Pearl River Base. Put the remaining boxes back. So as not to breed right and wrong."
Su Fenghe: "Listen to you, Brother Monkey. But, Brother Monkey, don't be reluctant to use it. We have helped the Pearl River Base so much. How many crystal nuclei were hunted by us? We also use our own spoils. Whoever dares to have Opinion, I will be the first to not spare him."
Hou Ying laughed.
Liu Zhan said again: "I think what Xuanyuan means is that Wunan and the others should be kept secret about the zombie virus. I also think the same, Brother Monkey, this matter is of great importance. Even if Wunan and the others become part of our team, they cannot Let others know about it."
Not to mention trust issues, he just didn't want to take unnecessary risks.
So far, they have not heard of a second person who developed antibodies to the zombie virus.
Whether it is selfishness or cowardice, they will never allow the possibility of Hou Ying's self-sacrifice for righteousness to become a reality.
