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 29

Lin Man really wanted to go into the space to treat her wounds - she had many small wounds on her body caused by broken stones and the like, some of which were burnt, and most of which were covered with dust.

But after thinking about it, she agreed with the white man's suggestion.

They hid together in a sewer manhole.

The smell in the sewer is not pleasant, but it is not extremely foul either. The sewage has long dried up, and the overly dry environment makes it difficult for even bacteria to grow.

The white-skinned man put his companion on the ground, pressed his watch, and a light suddenly shot out from the surface, illuminating the dark sewer. He checked his companion's injuries, took out a roll of gauze and some disinfectant cotton balls from the bag on his back, and disinfected his companion urgently and roughly, then wrapped the gauze around his head.

Lin Man had been watching his movements. He explained, "When we're on a mission, we could be in combat or in a disadvantageous situation at any time, so we carry life-saving items with us."

Lin Man looked at the backpack, then at the guns strapped here and there on his body, and finally glanced at the knives on his legs and in his boots, and the bulging pockets that contained something unknown. He felt very envious.

I wish she could be equipped with so many things when she goes out.

For fighting, for healing, and various high-calorie foods.

Especially the military backpack, it looks very sturdy and can hold a lot of things.

And her bag...

Huh? Where's her bag?

Only then did Lin Man realize that his back was empty.

She stood up suddenly, fortunately the sewer was big enough for her to stand upright.

The white-skinned man was startled: "What's wrong?"

"My bag fell." Lin Man said as he came under the manhole cover and wanted to go out.

The white-skinned man quickly stopped her: "It's dangerous outside. We don't know if that zombie bird is dead yet. I'm going out now, so I'll help you look for it. I remember your bag. It's a black bag, right? Do you know where you left it?"

Lin Man looked at him, frowned and recalled: "Forget it, it should have fallen into the dilapidated house?"

To be precise, it should have fallen into the helicopter. When she climbed in, she still remembered that she was carrying a bag. It was all because she was too nervous before and forgot to put the bag into the space. Now the bag must be gone.

That was her most precious thing, the only thing she brought from home...

She was very depressed and downhearted.

The white-skinned man thought the bag must be very important to her. He was very grateful that she had saved his companions and gave her the alcohol cotton ball: "You are also injured, can you treat it?"

Then he handed her his backpack and said, "There's food and drinks here. Can I leave them with you? I need to go out and see if the zombie bird is dead. Can you please keep an eye on my brother for now? If you get hungry or thirsty, just help yourself."

He was prepared for a fierce battle if the zombie bird was not dead, but he had to go out to check the situation. In case the zombie bird was okay, he had to know whether it was hiding nearby. If the zombie bird was seriously injured but not dead, he had to take the opportunity to kill it.

Lin Man, however, had a more certain feeling that the zombie bird should be dead. She looked at him and nodded: "Be careful."

The white-skinned man said, "My name is Chen Hua'an, and his name is Min Jian."

Chen Hua'an lifted the manhole cover and climbed out, but before he left, he turned on the light on Min Jian's watch, so the sewer was still bright.

Lin Man touched the white beam of light without hiding the envy in his eyes - the Peace Base had not used electricity in the early years, and all artificial lighting was done by fire.

She picked up the bottle of alcohol cotton balls and looked at it. She could almost recognize all the words on it, except for a few unfamiliar characters in the ingredient list. Inside the bottle were clumps of white, wet cotton balls, emitting a pungent smell.

She followed Chen Huaan's instructions, took a few cotton balls and wiped the scrapes on her arms.

Hiss, it’s a little irritating and a little painful.

It took her more than ten minutes to treat all the wounds. After using each cotton ball, she would wipe the intact skin next to it. As a result, all the wounds were rubbed black by her. Only then did she realize how dirty she was.

At this time, she was particularly envious of Guan Guan's shower gels, soaps and other things.

She looked at the dried blood on her hands, and finally did not waste the white, soft, particularly pleasing, and seemingly precious alcohol cotton ball. The blood stains would be washed away in a while.

"Huh?" Guan Guan suddenly said something in her mind, and Lin Man was startled: "What's wrong?"

"Spiritual energy!" Guan Guan was so excited that he almost jumped up, "You have spiritual energy on your hands."

Lin Man was puzzled. She already had spiritual energy in her hands, which she absorbed from the space.

"It's not that. It's the blood on your hand. I feel there is spiritual energy in it, but it's very little."

Is there spiritual energy in the blood?

Lin Man had blood not only on his hands, but also on his shoulders and back. It was Min Jian's blood that had stained him during his contact with him. Lin Man touched the wet and sticky blood stains on his clothes and asked consciously, "Is there spiritual energy in this?"

"Yes!" Guan Guan was excited and annoyed. "But because it's not fresh anymore, the spiritual energy is almost dissipated. There wasn't much left in the first place... I was too nervous when you were in danger just now. Otherwise, I could have made a clearer judgment while the blood was still fresh... Lin Man, that person's head is still bleeding. Come closer and let me feel it!"

Lin Man couldn't even feel the spiritual energy in the space. Only when the spiritual energy entered her body could she perceive it and use it freely. So of course she couldn't feel whether there was spiritual energy in Min Jian's blood.

She looked at Min Jian's still unconscious face and carefully touched the bloody bandage on his head.

"Ah, there really is spiritual energy! The more blood flows out of his wound, the stronger the spiritual energy becomes! Lin Man, breathe it in quickly!"

Lin Man was helpless: "I can't absorb it, and even if I could, he's still unconscious. If I absorb his spiritual energy, what if he gets hurt even more?"

"Oh, yes." Guan Guan didn't know what to say when he thought about Lin Man's physique that could only absorb spiritual energy after sleeping.

"But the last time I killed those three people, I was also covered in blood. Why didn't you say you had any spiritual energy?" Lin Man asked.

"That time, I really didn't!"

"Could it be because this person is a psychic?" Lin Man thought for a moment and said, "This person is a psychic, but the three last time were not."

At this time, the manhole cover opened and Chen Huaan jumped down: "It's okay, the zombie bird is dead."

Not only did he come by himself, he also brought a person who was seriously injured. Seeing that the zombie bird had torn off a large piece of flesh from that person, and that he was bleeding profusely and looked like he was about to die, Lin Man hurriedly handed him alcohol swabs, bandages and other things.

Chen Huaan handled the man quickly and skillfully.

Lin Man also touched the man's blood on the pretext of something, and Guan Guan said, "No, there is no spiritual energy."

Lin Man saw that Chen Huaan also had some wounds on his body, and there was a particularly deep wound on the back of his hand. Her eyes flashed slightly. After he treated the man, she touched the blood next to the wound on the back of his hand and said, "Take care of your wound too."

Guan Guan immediately shouted, "There's spiritual energy! There's spiritual energy in this person's blood!"

Chen Huaan is a person with super powers, and the injured person is obviously just an ordinary person, so is it true that only people with super powers have spiritual energy in their blood?

It seems quite reasonable.

So if she meets a lot of people with special abilities, wouldn't each of them be a storage tank for her spiritual energy?

Do you have to bleed to get it?

And at the same time, you have to be in a sleeping state to absorb it?

Lin Man's joyful heart suddenly calmed down. She felt that this discovery was of no use to her. She might as well plant more things in the space.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much water left in the space. Although she'd tried to keep the soil moist before leaving, the water was still being consumed day by day as the crops grew. She calculated that it could last for another ten days, and she planned to return to the Peace Base before then.

"It's okay. I'm a psychic, and my healing ability is stronger than most people's." Chen Hua'an said nonchalantly. He glanced at Min Jian and saw that his condition had not worsened. "I've already reported the situation to the organization. Someone will come to pick us up, but to prevent more zombie birds from appearing, we'd better hide underground for the time being."
