Chapter 314: Ability Upgraded Again (13)

After having this idea in mind, Lan Jin kept thinking about it.

To eat or not to eat became the main question.

After all, the reaction after eating the lotus seed rice was really devastating. The impression was even deeper than killing the mutant pets. Of course, the effect received could not be compared with that of the spiritual spring water.

But, a lot of toxins have been excreted from my body after I ate it last time, so I shouldn’t feel as uncomfortable eating it this time.

With this thought in mind, Lan Jin sat down beside the bed. After preparing himself mentally, he took out a lotus seed that was still glowing golden, and swallowed it into his stomach.

The imagined pain did not spread throughout her body as expected, but after only a few seconds she lost consciousness and fell asleep on the bed.

She slept for a very long time, as if to make up for the sleep she had missed during this period. Not only did she sleep soundly, but the alarm clock did not wake her up when it was time for her shift change.

Ling Jiang from next door called her several times, but when there was no response, he became anxious. He first called Captain Zhang to open the door for her. Of course, when he still failed to wake her up, he called Zhou Zhi who was not far away.

After a thorough examination, Zhou Zhiye concluded, "He fell asleep, and slept very soundly."

Ling Jiang was puzzled. "Lan Jin rarely sleeps so soundly."

But if you're just sleeping, there's nothing to worry about.

Captain Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems she's been tired lately. It's good for her to have a good sleep. We still have a lot to do later. But how long will it take for her to wake up? She can't just sleep forever."

“Almost.”

As soon as Zhou Zhiye finished speaking, Lan Jin opened her eyes dazedly. After seeing that her lounge was full of people, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What are you doing here?"

Ling Jiang sighed and said, "It's you. You were sleeping so soundly. I called you several times but you didn't wake up. I was worried something might happen to you, so I asked Brother Zhang to get the key to open your door. But I kept calling you for a long time next to you, but you still didn't wake up. So I called Doctor Zhou over as well."

Although Dr. Zhou is a psychologist, everyone in the base is an all-rounder.

But Lan Jin had something to say, "You bring people in like this, what if I don't have any clothes on?"

Ling Jiang choked, "You don't have the habit of sleeping naked. Besides, in a critical moment, does it matter whether you are wearing clothes or not? Life is definitely more important."

But that's not the point. "Stop rambling. Did you really fall asleep? Did you sleep well? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll check you out while we're both free."

Before anyone could get too embarrassed by the conversation, the topic was immediately changed. Lan Jin tried to move her body, then replied, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, it's just... I slept well."

It was as if all the stiff parts of his body had stretched out, and even the ball of supernatural energy that was originally in his body had increased by more than a little.

So, does this mean that superpowers have really become stronger?

If one pill can have such an effect, then if you take a few more pills——

Wait, how could such a good thing happen? What if the energy was too great and she exploded and died? Otherwise, how could she sleep for such a long time?

But other than that, there didn't seem to be anything unusual in the body.

The duty hour had long arrived. Seeing that Lan Jin was indeed fine, Ling Jiang asked, "How is it? Can you go back to work? Or maybe you can get some more sleep. It's okay if one person is missing."

Without waiting for Lan Jin to answer, Captain Zhang said, "Forget it, you all should get some rest. When we really get to the mission site, we'll still have to rely on you guys with strong abilities, so you might as well get some rest."

Because of Lan Jin's "sleeping in" once, these people with special abilities got sick, which really surprised everyone.

Lan Jin naturally would not refuse Captain Zhang's kindness. After agreeing, Captain Zhang and Zhou Zhi left.

But these people left, but Ling Jiang and the other two stayed. How should I put it? I have a hunch that Lan Jin must have done something to cause this.

I have to say that these three people are really alert. After hesitating for a while, Lan Jin told them about Lian Zi Mi. The main reason was that the mission was dangerous. Instead of surviving alone with her supernatural powers, it would be better to fly with her teammates. Besides, they have experienced so much together and it is impossible for them to be separated in the future. She still has some trust in them.

As soon as Lan Jin finished speaking, Lao Gao said in disbelief, "So, originally there was a glowing lotus pod growing in the middle of the spiritual spring water, and eating the lotus seeds in the lotus pod increased the body's supernatural powers. Was that the reason you improved your supernatural powers last time? But didn't I remember it was because of the injection?"

"The last time I ate lotus seed rice, the apocalypse hadn't even begun, and superpowers only appear in the later stages, so I didn't notice it then. At first, I thought it was an injection, but didn't people from other bases say the same thing? There are many people in my situation who, after exhausting their superpowers, didn't get any improvement after getting injections.

So I think that the exhaustion of my superpowers was just an opportunity. The needle made my superpowers replenished quickly, but at the same time, the lotus seeds also played a role, making my superpowers directly rise to a higher level. After I tried to eat another lotus seed last night, my guess was confirmed. My superpowers seemed to have increased again, and I could feel it myself.

The main reason for eating it again is probably because of what I said a few days ago. Rather than being controlled by others, it's better to be stronger. Making others fear us can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble. However, I haven't tried the upgraded ability yet, so I really don't know how strong it is this time.

As for the reason for telling the three of them, Lan Jin simply said, "It hasn't been easy for the three of us to get to this point. Although I've kept it a secret from you, it's also for self-protection. But no one knows how dangerous the upcoming mission will be, and I certainly won't watch you die. So... I'm asking you sincerely, do you want to eat?"

The three of them showed their delighted expressions. Who wouldn't want to eat such a good thing? But they hoped Lan Jin would be willing to give it to them. However, who would have thought that Lan Jin would really be willing to give it to them.

Huang Jinghe said, "Sister Lan, are you just going to let us eat such delicious food?"

Lao Gao said: "Yes, although I certainly want to eat it, but I also know that because of the spiritual spring water, we are already the best among many people with special abilities." How could he have the nerve to eat it?

But Ling Jiang didn't say anything. She said, "Let's eat. Why be polite? Anyway, the three of us will never be separated. We will definitely follow Lan Jin for the rest of our lives. Xiao Huang, don't worry. Even if we go to Jing City, we are a team. We can do any mission together. Besides, I'm actually worried that this mission will be too difficult and I won't be able to go back."
