Lin Tantan treated Ye Xiao for a long time, went back to his room, took a quick nap, and then ran over to check. Ye Xiao's chest was still bright red, and the flesh that had grown with great difficulty was showing signs of burning.
She frowned: "How could this happen?"
She thought about it for a long time and suddenly realized that this was a wound caused by supernatural powers. Unlike ordinary wounds, the fire energy was still lingering in Ye Xiao's wound. If this energy was not completely removed, the wound would be difficult to recover.
Fire-based abilities are naturally best controlled and eliminated with water-based abilities.
She raised her head and looked at Ye Xiao for a moment.
It was almost dawn outside, and the lights were on in the room. Ye Xiao was lying on the bed obediently. If it weren't for the exaggerated wound on his chest, he wouldn't look like a wounded person at all.
Ye Xiao was not too worried about his injury, he knew that it would not harm his foundation, at most it would only cause him some trouble and pain.
"Are there any difficulties? Or is it incurable?"
Lin Tan Tan pursed his lips and said, "Close your eyes."
Ye Xiao blinked, with something strange in his eyes, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Not long after, he felt something cool wrapped around his wound. That feeling was different from the feeling brought by Lin Tan's wood energy. The wood energy was warm and gentle, giving people a very comfortable feeling, but this time it felt very cool, but it just alleviated the burning sensation lingering in his chest all the time, until it was completely dissipated.
The sky gradually brightened.
There were sounds of other people moving around outside.
Lin Tantan said that she couldn't let anyone know that she was staying in his room, so she quietly climbed over the balcony, changed her clothes and pretended to come out of her room. When she went downstairs, she saw Ye Xiao was already downstairs, and his speed was faster than hers.
She couldn't help but glance at Ye Xiao's collar. His clothes were neatly dressed and he didn't look injured at all.
She was very curious, how did he do it
Then Ye Xiao said that he would not go out today and assigned tasks to others. No one objected, except Mei Bosheng who winked at Lin Tan Tan and ran over to whisper to her before leaving: "In order to accompany you to recuperate, the boss will not go out either. It's really touching."
He was taught a lesson yesterday, and then he realized that there was something going on between the two of them. Although Lin Tantan once said that she had someone she liked, who could be better than his boss? He patted Lin Tantan on the shoulder and said, "I support you!"
Support a ghost!
Lin Tantan wanted to kick him. After everyone left and only she and Ye Xiao were left in the villa, she said to Ye Xiao, "Do they all think that you stayed here just to accompany me? I am so wronged."
Ye Xiao glanced at her. To some extent, this was indeed true, but he still had to comfort her: "Except for Meimei, no one else is so gossipy. Ignore him."
It seems so. Anyway, Bai Cheng knows that Ye Xiao was injured, so it's fine as long as Bai Cheng doesn't misunderstand. But Lin Tantan felt something was a little strange. Ye Xiao was injured, so why didn't Bai Cheng seem nervous
But soon her attention shifted to Ye Xiao: "What did you put in your clothes? Why can't I see it?"
Ye Xiao treated himself as a patient and calmly undressed in front of the doctor, revealing his bright red chest. He said, "I just used my supernatural powers to support the outline."
Lin Tan Tan suddenly realized: "That's what I said. Even if you use something to cover it, at least one breast will appear bigger and the other smaller. You can't even tell at all."
Ye Xiao: “…” This is simply unacceptable.
Lin Tan Tan spent another two hours treating him, and finally most of the muscles and skin grew back. However, because some of the chest muscles had not grown back, the two sides of the chest were still very asymmetrical. She couldn't help but glance at it again and again, secretly comparing left and right. After finishing, she gave him earnest advice: "I'll treat you again in the afternoon. Try to make the flesh grow faster. But after the ribs grow back, you should also pay attention to the training of the left chest muscles. It is still very important to stay in shape."
Although Ye Xiao's muscles are not exaggerated, his chest muscles are still very beautiful and stylish. He looks particularly good in clothes. Now only half of them is left, which is a pity.
Ye Xiao's face was full of black lines. He looked down at himself and thought, well, it's time to exercise properly.
It is a sunny day today. When Lin Tantan saw the big sun, she couldn't help but want to wash clothes and dry quilts. She did it right away. She threw the clothes to be washed into the washing machine, turned on the power, and clear water flowed into it.
There are probably not many people who can afford to use a washing machine to wash clothes nowadays. There must be enough water in the water tower upstairs, but she was still thoughtful enough to add some water herself.
After the clothes were washed, she rolled up the quilt on the bed, tied it up with a wooden belt, picked it up and carried it on her shoulder and went upstairs to the rooftop. When she went out, she happened to meet Ye Xiao who was also walking out of the room with a quilt in his arms.
Ye Xiao: "Go upstairs?"
"Why."
He freed his hands and took the thing from Lin Tantan's hand.
"Your injury..."
"It's okay, I can't touch it."
A few minutes later, on the rooftop of the villa, Lin Tantan's quilt fluttered in the wind, bathed in the golden sunlight, while Ye Xiao's quilt was burned by him because it was stained with blood.
Then he went downstairs to the storage room on the first floor and brought up a new quilt, which he hung to dry next to Lin Tantan's quilt.
Looking at the quilts that the two people were wearing very close to each other, one was a warm yellow color and the other was a cool blue-gray color, Lin Tan looked left and right, feeling a little strange, as if they were living together.
Well, they are living under the same roof now.
Squeak.
Mutated rats climbed up one by one and circled around Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan scratched his face and said, "It seems like it's time to give them a bath. The last time was three days ago."
Ye Xiao looked at the dirty ones and said, "I'll do it."
Then he brought up the large basin, shower gel, brush and towel, and directly filled it with water from the water tower to scrub the mutant rats one by one.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The mutant rats protested to Lin Tan Tan. Lin Tan Tan guessed that they were dissatisfied with Ye Xiao's strength and the cold water. After washing, there was no fireball drying service and they were blown dry directly by the wind power. Their fur was messy and shook like chaff.
"It's good enough if you take a bath. Don't be picky." Lin Tantan put the mutant mice that had taken a bath on a chair and let them bask in the sun. A tree-root-like creature was poking its head out from the edge of the rooftop. Lin Tantan noticed it and waved at it: "Do you want to take a bath too?"
The latter seemed a little hesitant, but still crawled over happily, stroking his short beard.
"..." Ye Xiao looked at the mud all over its body and the mud wrapped around the bulging part, and finally wiped it off out of consideration.
A basin of mud and water was wiped out.
When he went downstairs to put the wash basin away, he found that there was an incoming call on the intercom left in the room. It was from Lv Jianping. He called back, and Lv Jianping said awkwardly: "Ye Xiao, the capital has given me a mission, asking me to persuade you to go back and bring Xiaolin with you. They already know that Xiaolin is a three-series superpower."
Ye Xiao: "I understand."
"I have brought up that point. It counts as persuasion."
Ye Xiao put down the walkie-talkie, his expression didn't change at all, he turned around and went upstairs again.
Lin Tantan was lying on a recliner with her eyes closed, basking in the sun. She was surrounded by a circle of mutant rats of all sizes. A mutant plant that looked like a big snake was coiled around her feet, with its roots lying on her calves. The whole scene was a little weird, but also unusually harmonious. He looked at it for a while and said, "Take them with you wherever you go in the future."
"Huh?" Lin Tantan opened his eyes.
Ye Xiao walked over and picked up the now fat gray rat. The rat kept kicking its limbs and twisting its body. This was the first mutant rat to hit Lin Tantan's hand, and it was the leader of the mutant rat group. It originally had only a small tuft of golden hair on its head, but now it has become a large tuft, which is probably related to the strengthening of its gold-based ability.
He said: "Although it's a bit stupid, it's still quite useful. I plan to replace the people protecting you with people with special abilities, but sometimes people are not as useful as animals, so let them stay with you at all times."
"Mice, scatter and pay attention to any movement. This one will stay dormant underground..." Ye Xiao said, and felt that this mutant plant seemed to have no other use except running faster in the soil. As if sensing his disgust, the mutant plant shook its two broken limbs, a little unconvinced.
After a period of time, the two broken limbs have grown back and are slowly growing longer. The first time they met, they twisted the car into a piece of scrap metal, which shows how strong their fighting power is.
Ye Xiao said: "Okay, then grow up quickly."
Lin Tan Tan agreed with his proposal. She would rather be surrounded by some animals and plants than by people. She touched the head of the mutant plant (the top of the rhizome): "Let's give it a name. It's not good to call it this root."
"What do you think it's a good name?"
Lin Tan thought for a long time and said, "Three?"
“…” What kind of strange name is this
"You see it has three rhizomes, and it can form the Arabic numeral 3. Isn't this name very appropriate?" She also said confidently, "Mutated rats also need names, you can be called Dahui." She said to the big gray rat that Ye Xiao had caught, and pointed to a smaller white mutant rat and said, "This one is Dabai, this one is Xiaobai, this one is Dahuang, this one is Erhuang, and this one is Sanhuang..."
Ye Xiao looked at the confused mutant animals and plants, silently sympathized for half a second, and then reluctantly praised: "It's a very appropriate and memorable name."
Anyway, the morning passed leisurely, and there was another treatment in the afternoon. The two couldn't stay in the villa anymore, so they went to the construction site.
The ground that was expected to be filled in two days was completed yesterday with the help of the masses. The entire land was filled slightly higher than the parking lot over there, so there is no worry about flooding. The construction officially started today. When they went there, they were laying underground drainage pipes.
Those pipes were naturally brought in from outside yesterday. Large and small pipes were laid and buried underground, looking extremely professional. In some places, foundations were laid and steel bars were erected, and they were starting to build houses.
There were two more projects next to the construction site, one was brick making and the other was cement making, and everywhere was bustling with activity.
Lin Tan Tan was more concerned about the sheepfold. He went over to take a look and found that there were only a few sheep left. He said that he had distributed some of the sheep as wages and sold some of them. As for the way of buying and selling, it was either barter or purchase with crystal cores. One first-level crystal core was exchanged for one pound of meat.
Lin Tan Tan calculated that a sheep would cost hundreds of first-level crystal cores. It was a rip-off.
Even so, the mutant sheep were in short supply, and the military bought a lot of them at once. The main reason was that the zombies had been besieging the city for more than half a month, leaving countless crystal cores. The military had accumulated the most crystal cores, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were piled up like a mountain. Moreover, the system of using crystal cores as circulating currency has not yet developed. Lin Tantan remembered that the purchasing power of crystal cores was not high in the beginning.
In the afternoon, before the gate of the base was closed, waves of people came back, most of them had a lot of gains, some caught mutant sheep and chickens, some caught mutant fish and mice, and some strange mutant animals, such as snakes with two heads and giant mutant toads. Some people also got corn cobs bigger than clubs, lettuces half as tall as a person, and something that looked like sugar cane and thicker than a person's waist.
In short, people whose minds were opened up searched everywhere for all kinds of rare things. The power of the masses was fully utilized and the harvest was still great. Various new species were brought back to the base. As for whether these things were edible...
That night, Lin Tantan was urgently awakened. The poisoned person was Lu Jianping's right-hand man. Seeing that ordinary potions and wood-type mutants could not save him, he could only shamelessly come to Lin Tantan for help. Lin Tantan thought that he had spoken for him, so he went over without saying a word.
Ye Xiao naturally accompanied her.
When they arrived at the place, they saw that the person lying on the bed like a dead person was a familiar face, the mixed-race young man who was guarding the gate of the base at the beginning. At this time, his handsome mixed-race face was already blue and purple, and it was obvious that he was severely poisoned.
"What happened?" Lin Tantan was shocked. This guy is also a superpower. How could he be poisoned like this? Did he swallow the poison directly
Lu Jianping looked embarrassed: "He ate two snake gallbladders."
"Is it the two-headed snake?" Lin Tantan had also heard of the reputation of the two-headed snake. It was said that it was a very large snake with scales all over its body that were black with green, and its texture was like jade. Its two heads were particularly smart, and it was said to be a very tonic snake.
The snake was caught by a team of psychics, and it is impossible for ordinary people to catch it.
Ye Xiao asked: "Isn't it safe to eat after testing?"
"Yes, we asked Liu Jian to take a look, and the scientists also tested it and said it was edible. We did eat the snake meat and everything was fine. But he became like this after eating the snake gall."
Lin Tan Tan had already examined the Master. The poor poisoned person's mouth was rotten. She emitted energy into his body, and then her expression became serious. She started to touch him, slowly moving down from the chest to the stomach. Ye Xiao's eyes twitched as she watched from the side. She almost never had direct contact with patients when she treated them.
After confirming something, Lin Tan sighed and asked, "Is the snake still there?"
Lu Jianping was even more embarrassed: "They were all shared and eaten. Oh, the skin is still there." He also ate the meat and was worried that he would be the same as his subordinate on the bed in the next moment, but fortunately he was fine so far.
"Forget about the skin." You can't tell anything from just the skin.
She said: "If I'm not mistaken, that snake has supernatural powers, similar to Meimei's, and the place where that snake stores its supernatural powers is its gallbladder. He ate the gallbladder, and now his stomach is the worst rotten, and his esophagus and intestines are also badly rotten. Moreover, this corrosive energy has entered his blood and spread throughout his body. It won't be long before his whole body is corroded."
Lu Jianping and others were terrified when they heard this. Lu Jianping hurriedly asked, "Can we save him?"
Lin Tantan shook his head: "My superpowers are only effective for ordinary injuries now, and they are not very effective for injuries caused by superpowers."
She herself was injured by the lightning element, so she could only let her hands tremble. Ye Xiao was injured by the fire element, and if she didn't have the water element, it would have been more difficult.
Even if this mixed-race youth had swallowed a bottle of sulfuric acid, she could have saved him, but he was poisoned by food containing dark powers, so she had no way to help him.
"But I can save his life temporarily. He became like this because he ate food with corrosive properties. If he can eat food with nourishing and restorative properties, he may still be saved."
"To put it simply, it is food with wood, water or earth-related abilities."
In later generations, there were many precious medicinal and food ingredients with supernatural powers, among which the main tonic types were these three. The wood element represented the growth of life and promoted vitality; the water element represented the endless circulation of energy, and most of them had the effect of opening the orifices and relaxing the body; the earth element was the origin of life, and was basically used to strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy; the three had subtly different effects, and they were all like tonic herbs, but they could not be confused.
Lin Tantan knows something about this, but not much. If her patients need medication, there will be professional pharmacists to cooperate with her.
However, there are not so many requirements for medicinal ingredients in the apocalyptic era. It is estimated that the medicinal ingredients themselves do not have such detailed classification of their functions. Just eat what is good for your body.
Lu Jianping understood and quickly sent people to collect as many mutant animals and plants that had entered the base today as possible.
The first one delivered was a plant that was almost as thick as a human waist, seven or eight meters long, and had the characteristics of sugarcane. The Academy of Sciences has confirmed that it is indeed a mutant sugarcane.
Lin Tan Tan discovered that this was a sugar cane with wood-related abilities, and said happily, "Squeeze this into juice and feed it to him."
Then several large buckets of juice were squeezed out, which were poured into the mixed-race young man's mouth again and again. After a long time, his corrosion was finally alleviated, but it would not be easy for him to recover.
When they returned, they also brought back a bottle of sugar cane juice. Everyone got some to try. It tasted very sweet and had a more refreshing fragrance than ordinary sugar cane juice. The extremely gentle wood energy contained in it was also very beneficial to the human body. Mei Bosheng suggested: "Let's go get this mutant sugar cane tomorrow? It's a pity that we don't know where it is."
He didn't know, but Lu Jianping had already had people smell it. Before dawn, as soon as the gate of the base opened, his people left the base and went straight to the place where the mutated sugarcane was found.
It was originally a sugarcane forest. A heavy rain killed many sugarcanes, but many were left. There were more than one mutated sugarcane there, but that one was the thickest.
However, when the team arrived, the sugarcane field had been almost completely destroyed. The thick mutant sugarcanes fell to the ground and were chewed into a mess. There was also a figure lying deep in the field, chewing and swallowing the juice.
"Who!" the officer in charge shouted. In the dim light, a figure emerged from the sugarcane field and ran very fast.
"It looks like a person, but it seems to have only half a head. I'm afraid it's a zombie." said the subordinate.
"Will zombies eat sugar cane?" The officer in charge frowned. "Never mind, let's see if there are any intact sugar canes and dig them up with the roots."
