Lin Man in the Apocalypse

For seventeen years in the apocalypse, the fields yielded no crops. Lin Man and her mother struggled daily on the brink of starvation and thirst, until one day, she obtained a space.

Chapter 20

Lin Man stared at the raindrop, which was pointed at the top and round at the bottom, a standard drop of water. It was as big as her finger, crystal clear, and reflected everything in the entire valley, while it was still spinning around.

But it only lasted for less than a second. Lin Man was startled and the drop of water scattered. The fine water foam landed on Lin Man's eyes, face, and hands, which startled her again.

"Xiaoman?" Mother Lin, who was sewing pillowcases nearby, called out in confusion. She heard her daughter's low exclamation.

"No, it's okay. The rain hit my face."

"Then come in and sit down."

"It's okay, it's quite comfortable like this." Lin Man said this, but he was surprised looking at the rain on his hands.

Did she bring those raindrops just now? She was trying to collect the rainwater, so she stared at one spot, and the raindrops from that spot flew towards her.

Lin Man thought back to the entire process and felt that he was responsible. Remotely controlling the raindrops? Just like the day he moved the tiles remotely, could this be his special ability?

Special powers? Ah, does this count as remote control, telekinesis? Just thinking about it is quite impressive!

Lin Man suppressed his excitement and let his mind wander, then he stared at a certain spot in the rain curtain: Come here, rain, come here!

But it's of no use.

Lin Man was worried. Based on her previous two experiences, she could achieve a goal whenever she focused and worked hard on it.

"You idiot! It's not about thinking, it's about manipulation." Guan Guan suddenly popped up in his mind.

"What do you mean?" Lin Man was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"Use your mental power!"

"What is mental power?"

Guan Guan couldn't explain it right away. He knew very little about human superpowers. It was already good enough that he could say it had mental strength. Could he still expect him to be a teacher?

"It's, it's a power in your mind."

Lin Man touched his head and couldn't feel any mental power!

Helplessly, she could only continue to "think".

I was so exhausted from thinking about it that my head ached, but I couldn't attract a single drop of rain, and I couldn't even make the rain line bend a bit.

She waved her hand somewhat discouraged, and then something strange happened. The raindrops falling from the eaves in front of her twisted and stagnated in unison for a moment before continuing to fall.

Lin Man could fit a goose egg in his mouth at once.

The anxious little chicks in the space also opened their mouths wide and stood there as still as if they were made of wood.

"What did I do?"

"You, you, you seem to have used spiritual power just now."

"Spiritual energy?"

"It's the trace you absorbed from the space before. I thought it slowly dissipated after being absorbed, but now it seems to be stored in your body." Guan Guan muttered after being shocked. He could actually use it?!

It is strange that a mortal can absorb spiritual energy, but he can actually use it. Is this scientific?

Oh, Guan Guan is not despising mortals. He is still very satisfied and optimistic about his contractors, but mortal bodies are mortal bodies, and this is the shackles of his innate conditions!

After Lin Man became excited, she felt a sense of exhaustion. According to Guan Guan, this was because she had used up that trace of spiritual energy?

Where had that spiritual energy been hidden before? Why didn't she feel anything at all?

"Please take care of it~~" She drew out the words in her mind, very flattering.

The little chicken in the space asked cautiously: "What are you doing?"

"Let me absorb some more of that spiritual energy!"

"No!" The first batch of sweet potatoes and corn had been harvested, and the spiritual energy production had plummeted, and it was not enough for it to absorb on its own.

"Don't be like this. I will farm for you and grow many things." Lin Man continued to persuade.

"Hmph, so that your compatriots can have drinking water, you only put a little water into the space every day, and the land is only half watered." And the half of the land that was watered was not fully planted.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will water the land well, plant crops well, and make sure the space is full of plants." Lin Man said, said to Lin's mother, closed the door, and entered the space.

She can enter with her mind or her body. If she enters with her mind, she can only take things and cannot do anything else. If she wants to farm or do other work, she must enter with her body.

After Lin Man went in, she tried to talk the little chick into doing something for a long time. To show her sincerity, she worked hard to plow the land and plant the sweet potatoes and potatoes that she had just harvested. It was said that both of them needed to dormant for a period of time before they could be planted, so she didn't care about them anymore.

"Let's not plant corn. Let's wait until this batch of corn is dried." Lin Man explained flatteringly. There were still some corn kernels left from the three corn cobs at first, but those were obviously not as effective as seeds as the first generation of newly harvested corn. Lin Man didn't want to plant them anymore, and he also planned to eat the remaining sweet potato and a few potatoes in the bag.

She also picked some soybeans, red beans, and mung beans, soaked them to germinate, and waited for planting.

Oh, the feng shui is really messed up. I used to buy induction cookers, pots and other things on the condition that they would not absorb spiritual energy. But after just a few days, they are now bending because of the need to absorb spiritual energy.

Guan Guan was still a little unhappy, so Lin Man thought for a moment and said, "How about this: I'll give you a portion of the crops I harvest from the fields, and you can also give me some of your spiritual energy?"

Guan Guan Hei Dou's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Really, really, could I lie to you?"

Guan Guan was finally satisfied: "Okay, then you can absorb it, but don't absorb too much!"

Lin Man was convinced once again that this chick had the soul of a chef living inside it. How devoted was he to cooking? The problem was, he couldn't even eat it himself. Lin Man decided to support him more often in the future.

As for shower gel, shampoo, etc., you should take your time.

Lin Man went to the cornfield. This was the field that produced the most spiritual energy. Of course, Lin Man still couldn't feel the spiritual energy.

She sat there for a long time, trying everything according to what Guan Guan said, such as concentrating her attention, clearing her mind, eliminating distracting thoughts, and meditating, but she just couldn't absorb any spiritual energy. After sitting for a long time without any results, she felt sleepy and fell asleep while sitting.

Guan Guan watched in shock as the person fell asleep. The spiritual energy in the cornfield began to flow into her body. He was almost jealous. It was not easy for him to absorb the spiritual energy!

Jealousy makes me deformed!

Transform!

Huh? It seems to be really changing shape.

Upon closer inspection, oh, the spiritual energy on its body had also been absorbed by Lin Man. The frightened little chick quickly flapped its underdeveloped wings, chirped in panic, and hid in the cabin.

When Lin Man woke up, he felt extremely comfortable, as if he had eaten a big meal or taken a hot bath. There was no discomfort in his body.

“…” She felt an undeniable sense of being locked in. She turned around and saw the little chick standing there, looking at her with resentment on its face.

"What's wrong? Hey? Guan Guan, have you shrunk a little?" Lin Man couldn't see the problem.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but as soon as she did, the little chick immediately started crying loudly, sobbing loudly that it shook the earth.

Lin Man tried to comfort her helplessly, and it took him a long time to finally understand what had happened.

"Am I so powerful after I fall asleep?" Lin Man looked at the white chicks that had shrunk in size and had grown a little fat but now returned to their original form. He then looked at the cornfield, sweet potato field, and wild vegetable field that looked wilted and as if all their energy had been drained away. No matter how much he couldn't believe it, he had to accept the fact that he was a human-shaped spiritual energy absorber.

It starts during sleep.

She spread out her hands and vaguely felt a kind of energy contained in her hands. With a thought, that energy dissipated.

Guan Guan opened his eyes wide, so spiritual!

"I seem to have an idea! Just wait a minute!" Lin Man came out of the space, opened the door, stood under the eaves, and stretched out his hand under the puzzled gaze of Lin's mother. The spiritual energy emitted from the palm of his hand was extremely fine, and she broke it into many strands. Each strand wrapped around a little rain and brought them in front of her.

Lin Man caught the raindrops, and then pushed the spiritual energy into pieces. The raindrops touched by the spiritual energy disappeared directly into the air, and rain began to fall in the space.

A base in the north, the management office above the gate of the base.

"I heard it's raining in the south."

"It's the first rain of the year. Those small bases are finally able to survive."

"I just hope those people won't come to our base again. They're a bunch of refugees, incompetent and a waste of food."

"This month's food supply has dropped to 30 kilograms."

“Life is tough!”

Two idlers chatted while smoking the cheapest grass cigarettes, tapping their ashes at the long line outside the gate below: "Why are they here? They think we have mountains of grain and seas of food. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but they don't refuse anyone who comes, making life miserable for everyone."

"We can't just chase them away, right? You might not know this, but these people who come here to seek refuge are taking up the Lin family's resources. It's said that everyone in the Lin family, from the old ladies to the little kids, wears clothes patched on top of patches, eats low-quality food only the poor eat, and even has to fetch their own water because they don't have a water supply!"

"Hehe, everyone in our base knows about this. It's been like this for years. The Lin family is so unlucky to have such a selfless person."

"You don't know this, right? There's a lot of connections behind this. That person has a grudge against the Lin family, and everyone in the Lin family relies on him. Isn't this..."

"The Lin family will definitely rebel against him. After all, they are a big family with so many people. If they poison him, they will rebel..."

"That requires the ability. He has trained a bunch of talented people under him, but he refuses to train his own children and grandchildren, suppressing the young people of the Lin family from making a name for themselves. Not to mention that he can't be killed, even if he is killed, the Lin family will be finished without this great god!"

"Tsk tsk, no matter what, it's our own family, this is too cruel."

Before the two of them could finish their conversation, a fighter plane whizzed past overhead and flew away to the south.

"This is……"

"Who else could it be? It's the guy we just talked about who has to go south every year."
