Chapter 144 World Five [2]

Lying on the special hospital bed, Chu Ci still maintained the same posture as before, with Jing Ke's coat covering his body, with only his head and calves exposed.

Thinking that Chu Ci's pupils were still reacting to the light, Jing Ke simply turned on the warm yellow light to prevent Chu Ci from being irritated by the strong light.

Before approaching, Jing Ke took a look at the time on the wall. It was 1:30 in the morning, three and a half hours had passed since she lay down to sleep at 10 o'clock.

However, according to Jing Ke's feeling, she did not seem to have been dreaming for more than half an hour. It may have taken her twenty minutes to move towards the light in the darkness, but the interaction with Chu Ci in the dream definitely did not exceed ten minutes.

In order to verify whether her dream was related to reality, Jing Ke quickly held Chu Ci's hand and tried to sense the thoughts in her mind.

Cold, cold, very cold, very cold, a little bit, a little bit, warm.

Chu Ci's body temperature was already lower than a normal person's, only around 30 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, she had been in this room at only 4 degrees Celsius for over three hours, so it was normal for her body temperature to drop further.

After making sure that his dream was not fictional, Jing Ke took off his coat and covered Chu Ci's body from the neck down to the knees.

Holding Chu Ci's hand again, Jing Ke began to read the other's thoughts again.

Just as Jing Ke was concentrating on sensing Chu Ci's thoughts, a part of Chu Ci's skin covered by the two coats began to move slightly again.

Then a tender green vine emerged from Chu Ci's other wrist, slowly moved downwards, fell to the ground along the support of the special bed, and then climbed up Jing Ke's boots silently.

Jing Ke, who was concentrating on using his supernatural powers, did not notice that there was something extra on his feet, but was trying to figure out what Chu Ci was thinking.

Stick? Hot? Cold? Don't go? Mine?

Chu Ci's originally simple thoughts began to become complicated, causing Jing Ke, who only caught a fragment of it, to frown subconsciously.

What does this mean? Is he trying to keep me from leaving?

Jing Ke wanted to let go of Chu Ci's hand and re-examine her body with professional instruments to see if the temperature would affect her various physical indicators.

But Jing Ke soon discovered that he seemed unable to complete this action.

For some reason, a green vine appeared on Chu Ci's wrist, and before she could react, it had already tied their wrists tightly together.

Is this a supernatural power? Or is it a part of Chu Ci's body?

Jing Ke subconsciously tried to pull the vines away from her wrists, but this action only enraged the vines, which not only bound her wrists and Chu Ci's wrists tighter, but also the vines that had been lingering on her boots suddenly began to grow, circling around and climbing up Jing Ke's thighs in one breath.

Huh? When did vines appear on my legs? What's going on?

Jing Ke frowned and when he found that his right leg could not move, he began to look for any sharp weapon around him that could cut the vines.

Unfortunately, before leaving, Jing Ke was worried that the potion would lose its effect, so she put away all the lethal weapons in the laboratory. Especially around Chu Ci, not to mention sharp weapons, there was not even a stick that could be used.

Oops, things seem to be getting a little worse.

Jing Ke was not arrogant enough to think that she was special in Chu Ci's eyes. After all, according to the memory of the original body fragments, she and Chu Ci had very few interactions before.

Bai Xiaohui treated Jing Ke as his secret weapon and would do his best to stop others from meeting Jing Ke. All in all, he and Chu Ci had met no more than twenty times.

After discovering that not only the vines on his legs were climbing up, but the vines on his wrists were also climbing up his arms, Jing Ke didn't care about anything else. He simply lowered his head and bit the vines with his mouth, trying to bite it off with his teeth.

Jing Ke's body was not strengthened and his strength was limited. The vines only retreated for a moment when they were bitten, and then began to grow at a faster speed.

For some reason, I had a urge to wrap Jing Ke up and swallow her like food.

After finding that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to him, Jing Ke had no choice but to try a different way to break the deadlock. She tried to use another special ability of hers to interfere with Chu Ci's thinking while reading her thoughts.

Loosen, loosen, loosen.

Jing Ke kept sending this thought to Chu Ci, and when she found that the vines had already climbed up her collarbone and lower abdomen, she couldn't help but frown.

If I can't change Chu Ci's thinking, then the only last resort is to call for help from the guards.

Just before Jing Ke decided to call for help, Chu Ci's not very useful brain finally received the command to 'let go'. As he opened his eyes and looked at Jing Ke, the vines stopped growing.

Phew, I'm glad it worked. Otherwise, if I called the guards, I would have to hurt Chu Ci to escape.

Jing Ke didn't dare to relax. He held Chu Ci's hand and continued to convey the order to let go until the vines slowly retreated and finally completely left his body.

You are tired, rest, rest, rest.

Jing Ke followed the same method and continued to give Chu Ci the most concise instructions over and over again to increase the chances of successfully using his supernatural powers.

When beads of sweat appeared on Jing Ke's forehead, Chu Ci finally retracted all the vines, and his eyes, which had been staring at Jing Ke, slowly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back slowly, and after he had created a distance of three meters, he picked up the notebook beside him and recorded his new discovery.

If I remember correctly, Chu Ci's ability should be to control super-high temperature flames, which has nothing to do with controlling vines.

It seems that I have to take some time during the day to check on Chu Ci's thirty-two subordinates. If the ability to control vines is not Chu Ci's hidden trump card, then it must be the changes brought to her by the injection of the semi-finished evolution potion.

As Jing Ke thought about it, she couldn't help but start looking through her previous research materials. After combining them with what she had learned in other worlds, she lay down on the laboratory table and began to write furiously.

As I said before, once Jing Ke enters the research state, he will turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside.

So it wasn't until the sixteenth minute when Jing Pingping appeared behind her that Jing Ke noticed the extra person in the laboratory because she was looking through other materials.

"Sister Pingping..." Jing Ke called out. Thinking about how she had stayed up late at night to study the data, a hint of guilt could not help but appear in her tone.

"Do you know what time it is now?" Jing Pingping asked calmly.

Jing Ke glanced at the time on the wall and gave the exact time, "Four fifty-six."

"Director, where should you be and what should you be doing at this time?" Jing Pingping asked.

Jing Ke blinked and said nothing, just looking at Jing Pingping.

Jing Pingping didn't say anything either, and the two of them just looked at each other.

"Go back and rest, and get up at 8 o'clock to eat." In the end, Jing Pingping was the first to give in.

"Okay, wait for me to replenish the medicine." Jing Ke did not object. Under Jing Pingping's gaze, she gave Chu Ci about two hours' worth of medicine, allowing her to regain her ability to move around around ten o'clock.

-

Because she had sneaked out once, Jing Pingping watched Jing Ke even more closely, and even changed her sleeping place to the sofa in the living room.

The living room is the only way to leave the residence. If Jing Ke plans to sneak out of the room to go to the laboratory in the middle of the night, Jing Pingping, who is sleeping here, will discover it at the first time.

Jing Ke also realized that his actions in the early morning were a bit risky, so he was extremely obedient in the next few days, eating, sleeping and doing research on time. As a result, Jing Ke, who was 1.75 meters tall and weighed less than 100 kilograms, successfully reached the edge of three digits in weight.

During this period, Jing Ke asked his assistant to select one of Chu Ci's subordinates to enter the research institute. When communicating with the other party and inquiring about Chu Ci's special abilities, Jing Ke learned that Chu Ci's diehard fans had directly occupied the area near the research institute, leaving no chance for Bai Xiaohui and his subordinates to get close.

No wonder my research has been going so smoothly these days. It turns out that there is a powerful team of evolvers guarding outside.

"I'm sorry, Chief. I'm not aware that the General can control vines. I've only seen the General control flames. If flames touch metal, the metal, when heated, can also be controlled by the General."

Chu Ci's adjutant asked earnestly and frankly, "Commander, you actually allowed me in. Could you please let me see the general's current condition? We are all very worried about her."

"The video is on the phone. Didn't you see it?" Jing Ke asked seriously, while writing down the adjutant's words in the notebook.

The adjutant and Chu Ci fought side by side for three years. According to Chu Ci's character, he would not hide anything from the adjutant.

Then it can be confirmed that the ability to control the vine gate is not Chu Ci's original ability, but the result of the evolution potion.

"We see, but we want to confirm the general's condition with our own eyes," the adjutant said. "Captain, could you please make an exception?"

"Okay, come with me." Jing Ke did not refuse.

During the observation and research over the past few days, Chu Ci behaved very quietly. It might be because the medicine took effect, or it might be because he was fed enough food.

After taking the elevator from the first underground floor to the third underground floor, many guards and researchers cast their glances at the adjutant and were also wary of her.

The adjutant didn't care about these gazes, but when the laboratory door was opened and she saw Chu Ci lying on the specially made bed, her eyes instantly became red.

"Don't make noise, the noise will irritate her." Jing Ke said.

This was something she had just discovered in the past two days. Chu Ci was now able to react to light, noise, and temperature. Based on the values ​​she had calculated, Chu Ci's ability to sense the outside world was much stronger than that of an average person.

This is a characteristic of evolved beings, not something that would occur in zombies or monsters. It is a positive discovery.

The adjutant held back his tears and nodded, then walked lightly to Chu Ci.

Seeing their leader, who could have led them to slay zombie monsters and retake human territory, now confined to bed, half zombie, half monster, even the lieutenant, known for being the calmest person on the team, had an irrational thought.

They want Bai Xiaohui to pay for his blood debt with blood, and they want to kill the villain who stabbed him in the back at all costs.

"I'm done, let's go." Jing Ke didn't try to understand the adjutant's emotions. He let him stand in front of the bed for three minutes and then started to drive him away.

"Captain, is our general sick? Can he recover as long as he receives treatment?" the adjutant asked in a trembling voice.

Each of them had watched the video, and had watched it several times.

But even with sufficient mental preparation, he still couldn't help but feel sad and angry after seeing the appearance of his own general with his own eyes.

"Theoretically, yes. Chu Ci's situation is different from those who failed to mutate. She initially underwent a positive mutation. However, Chu Ci's body couldn't withstand multiple mutations in a short period of time, so a negative mutation occurred."

When it comes to professional areas, Jing Ke's speech becomes much more fluent.

"Based on my theoretical experience, all we need to do going forward is inject Chu Ci with purer evolutionary potions at regular intervals and in fixed quantities to continuously promote the slow positive mutation of her body. Then, when her sexual energy is strong enough, the negative mutations will disappear, and those potions that Chu Ci couldn't handle will become her strength."

Jing Ke's explanation was a bit awkward, and the adjutant didn't know the extent of the research on the evolutionary potion, so the adjutant didn't hear much.

But the adjutant was sure that he had heard Jing Ke, the medical genius known as God's treasure and the savior of mankind, say in person that his general could recover.

It's just that the recovery process takes a little time.

"I understand what the director means. We will remain outside the institute until the general recovers. If the director needs anything, please let us know. We will complete the tasks assigned by the director as quickly as possible."

The adjutant promised, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes, but she seemed to have regained her composure.

"Okay, I'll give you a list. Send over what I need as soon as possible." Jing Ke did not refuse.

Originally, all the supplies for the research institute were provided by Bai Xiaohui. Now that he and he have completely fallen out, he really needs another tool to take over.

"Okay, Chief, we will deliver the things to you as quickly as possible." The adjutant agreed immediately and promised repeatedly.
