Step

The bathroom wasn't far away, and Zhou Yu asked through the door, "Lin Bai, Xia Xia was worried you didn't have enough water, so I brought you two buckets. Are you okay? Are you seriously injured? Do you need us to bandage you?"

Zhou Yu waited for a few seconds but didn't hear a response. Worried, he took a step forward and asked, "Lin Bai?"

"I'm fine, there are still some blood stains that haven't been washed off. You can put the water at the door..." Lin Bai's voice came from the bathroom, hazy.

Hearing her voice, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, call me if you need anything."

The footsteps faded away.

There was a door between them. If Zhou Yu opened the door at this moment, he would find that Lin Bai was taking out something from his left arm that absolutely could not appear in the human body.

Energy storage battery.

This is something that only low-level bionic people have. Advanced bionic people can already obtain energy for activities through food, but unfortunately, Lin Bai is not one of them.

With an expressionless face, she replaced the metal layer of the battery's heat absorption plate with the diamond crystal she got from Peter. The special diamond crystal itself has many facets, and after being polished by her, it can absorb light and heat from multiple sides, so that its heat absorption and energy storage time will be shorter.

I should have known that the factory setting was not set to solar thermal energy storage.

But there is no such thing as knowing in advance. If we had known in advance, perhaps the end of the world could have been avoided.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, there was a period of time when the sun never set. The high temperature on the global surface made it almost impossible for ordinary people to survive. But in just half a year, the weather became extremely changeable, with wind, rain, thunder and snow, and it changed unpredictably in the blink of an eye.

As the frequency of the scorching sun decreased, Lin Bai's energy reserves were always hanging around at low altitudes.

It was not until she met Lou Tiannan that she discovered that both Lou Tiannan's superpowers and the superpower particles that Lou Tiannan expanded outwards could be absorbed by her and converted into the energy she needed for activities, which surprised her very much.

Before her energy storage battery is fully developed, Lou Tiannan can use it.

Lin Bai reinstalled the energy battery into her arm, feeling the almost empty energy inside. After changing her clothes, she went out without hesitation and turned left to go to the isolation room that Zhou Yu and Lu Jia had specially built for Lou Tiannan.

…

Isolation room.

Lou Tiannan was wearing shorts and a vest, sitting in the isolation room with his legs crossed. His stubble, eyebrows, and eyelashes were all covered in sweat. The sweat gathered into small streams on his face and body, dripping in bunches to the ground. The entire wooden board under the chair was almost soaked.

He knew clearly that he had overused his supernatural powers in the past two days, especially today, and he could feel the restless energy in his body.

The reaction of low-level psychics who overuse their powers may be the inability to release their powers, or they may become easily hungry or tired.

But Lou Tiannan is different. Lou Tiannan's supernatural particles will spread around his body. The high temperature makes him like a fireball. His body can withstand it, but it is not comfortable.

And he needs to suppress this restless energy. If he can't suppress it...

The scorching heat made him grit his teeth. To distract himself, many things flashed through his mind: the mission assigned by the Federation, the next route, the safety of the survivors...

There was also a flash of Lin Bai, covered in blood. He moved his fingertips on his arm, recalling that Lin Bai's temperature seemed to be very low at that time...

It was strange. The moment he thought of Lin Bai, he felt the temperature around him drop...

That woman...

His eyelashes moved, and his eyelids suddenly opened, staring at the door with a sharp gaze, "Who's outside?!"

"Me."

It’s Lin Bai.

When Lou Tiannan heard this, he paused for a second before asking, "What are you doing here?"

"They are serving food. Isn't this torture for me who has nothing to eat?" Lin Bai sat on the stone outside the isolation room and talked lazily to Lou Tiannan.

She didn't lie. There was indeed food in the camp, but Lou Tiannan ordered last night that the three of them would not be given any food today. She just saw from afar that Peter had Xiya to support him, but Limon had no one to help him. In addition, after the melee in the afternoon, he was now like a dead dog lying in the corner.

It's pretty good, Lin Bai likes it, but it's a pity that the blood and bone man is useless and didn't kill him with a single shot.

Even though she was separated from Lou Tiannan by a door, Lin Bai could still feel the surging energy particles. She couldn't help but sigh. These heat energies continuously flowed into her body through the receiver. It was so comfortable...

"You go eat. I've talked to Zhu Liang."

Lou Tiannan's voice came from the isolation room.

"That won't do!" Of course not. Lin Bai's energy hadn't been fully recharged yet. She said with a serious face, "As the captain, you change your orders every day. The people below will be dissatisfied if they see this!"

"They don't dare."

"Tsk..." Lin Bai shook his head in disdain, "Does the building team rely on coercion to manage the team?"

"Do you have any good ideas?" For some reason, Lou Tiannan always becomes more emotional when facing Lin Bai.

"No." Lin Bai adjusted his sitting position, moved his left arm closer to the isolation room, and casually found a topic to talk about: "Who is Lisa today? Her ability seems to be different from everyone else's. Is it a wind ability?"

"Well, like the Tyke you killed today, she was the captain of one of the Blood and Bone Teams. Besides the ancient star five-element psychics who first awakened at the beginning of the apocalypse, according to incomplete statistics, the number of psychics of other elements is also gradually increasing. Lisa is a wind psychic who awakened half a year ago."

"Gradually increasing..." Lin Bai silently recited these four words, then smiled and said, "She awakened her superpowers half a year ago, and now she's this powerful. In a few years, she'll be unbeatable."

"No." The Federation has issued a secret report that after awakening their superpowers, people with superpowers can vaguely feel the existence of levels in their consciousness. After breaking through the level, their superpowers will be upgraded and their sea of ​​consciousness will expand significantly, but for a long time before the next level is upgraded, they will be backfired by the superpowers.

For all the psychics that have been studied so far, the higher the level of their psychic abilities, the more obvious the backlash they will suffer from the upgrade. The backlash methods will vary depending on the level.

Breaking through the next level is not an easy task at all. He has awakened his abilities since a year and a half ago, and every backlash has only brought him a little closer to the next level. It seems that the next level is right in front of him, but it is not easy to actually jump over it.

Wen Xia Xia's rank had broken through once, from D to C. She felt very tired a week before the upgrade, and ended up sleeping for three whole days. When she woke up, her supernatural powers had jumped to a higher level.

Of course, there is a faster way to help them break through the level, that is the zombie crystal core, but the currently known data show that it is not safe to upgrade through the zombie crystal core.

He also tried to absorb the crystal core of a third-level zombie. The result was that after excessive use of his superpowers the next time, the backlash of his superpowers became more obvious.

Lisa's ability is above level A, and it won't be easy for her to upgrade it.

"Captain Lou is so confident!" Lin Bai asked casually. She didn't care about the result. As soon as she opened her mouth, she began to flatter Lou Tiannan: "Indeed, Captain Lou is so powerful. Not everyone can compare to him."

As Lin Bai spoke, the restless energy in Lou Tiannan's body gradually calmed down, and his body temperature returned to normal. He looked at his palms, and his supernatural power became stronger again...

Every time I suppress my restlessness, my supernatural powers seem to improve.

Lin Bai was still speaking insincerely flattering words outside the door when the door of the isolation room suddenly opened and Lou Tiannan's figure appeared from behind the door.

Lou Tiannan walked out and before he could say anything, he saw Lin Bai sniffing the air. He asked in confusion, "Captain Lou, do you smell anything? It seems to be... oranges? Are there still orange trees in this desolate mountain area?"

Lou Tiannan paused and replied expressionlessly, "I didn't smell it. Go back to the camp, I'll be there in a minute."

Lin Bai looked at Lou Tiannan's back as he walked towards the bathroom, and sniffed again. It seemed that the citrus smell just now was an illusion. She secretly wondered, was there something wrong with her sense of smell?

…

Lou Tiannan went to take a shower. Although his energy was only half charged, Lin Bai would not follow him and ask for trouble. When she returned to the camp, she heard Zhou Yu, Lu Jia and Song Yan discussing the bionic man.

Seeing Lin Bai coming over, Zhou Yu asked, "Lin Bai, Lin Bai, you saw that young man from Caesar up close today. Brother Liang told us he was a bionic man. Do you think he gave you the handkerchief because he was ordered to do so, or because he programmed it?"

"Set it up yourself," Lin Bai joined their conversation. "Some household robots can also sense their owner's needs and provide attentive services!"

Before the end of the world, various intelligent robots are constantly being released, and intelligent bionic people are sold by major companies on the market. They are very close to humans, and based on the complex algorithms at the factory, they can simply understand human emotions and provide corresponding services, and are very popular.

However, after the end of the world, humans are unable to take care of themselves, so how can they care about robots? In addition, due to various power system and wireless signal failures, intelligent robots are rarely seen in places other than safe zones.

"You're right. Those robots before all said how similar they were, but I can tell the difference at a glance. This is the first time Caesar has made a mistake." Zhou Yu said, touching his chin.

"I'm also saying, how could there be such good-looking young humans in the apocalypse?" Lu Jia also sighed.

Lin Bai didn't comment on their sentiments. She looked around the crowd and asked, "Where's Xiya?"

Hearing Lin Bai ask this, Zhou Yu said: "Do you still remember that you have a daughter? You have been here for a long time, and you are only asking about her now. Are you really not afraid that something will happen to her?"

Lin Bai said unconcernedly, "Overprotection will cause her to die in the apocalypse."

Everyone was silent for a moment, knowing that what Lin Bai said made sense.

"She just asked Brother Liang to take some food to the building team. Come to think of it, you two, mother and daughter, are both quite caring about others."

Lin Bai raised his index finger and shook it, expressing his disagreement: "I don't care about others, I only care about myself."

Knowing that Xiya went to deliver food to Lou Tiannan, Lin Bai didn't care and found a bed to lie down. He had only been lying there for two minutes when Zhou Yu came up to him. His eyes sparkled and he said, "Lin Bai, I feel that you are quite knowledgeable about superpowers. Why don't you give me some more advice?"

Today, thanks to Lin Bai's touch on his chest in the morning, he was able to gain the upper hand in the afternoon battle thanks to Lin Bai's move. He was thinking of learning more from him now.

Lin Bai tilted his head and said, "I'm tired. Let's talk after I wake up."

"Hey, okay!" Zhou Yu knew that Lin Bai had indeed made great efforts today, and planned to ask again tomorrow.

On the other side, Xiya was holding the baby and looking up at Lou Tiannan.

After taking a shower, Lou Tiannan changed into a T-shirt and combat pants, a black T-shirt and black camouflage combat pants, without a drawstring. The loose T-shirt made him look less serious than usual. His short stubble still had a little moisture. The thin T-shirt could not hide the muscles of his upper body at all. He had a strong and upright figure. Compared with Xiya in front of him, Xiya looked like a dumpling.

"Is there something wrong?" Lou Tiannan asked her.
