Just as Xiao You said, the antidote was administered a little too late; Lu Jin'an only experienced some relief from the pain after drinking it.
Xin'er took out a wooden bath tub, filled it with spiritual spring water, and called Carl, who was outside the tent, in.
He waved the empty test tube in his hand. "I've already given him the medicine. Soaking him in water will help detoxify him."
Without saying a word, Carl untied Lu Jin'an and carried her into the bathtub in a princess carry.
Lu Jin'an was completely submerged in the spiritual spring water, and Xin'er took out another large pot of spiritual spring water.
"Give him water, as much as he can drink."
"good."
The effects of the spiritual spring water were indeed very noticeable; black filth was visibly being expelled from Lu Jin'an's body. The wounds were also gradually returning to their normal color.
Seeing this, Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief; the level 5 crystal core was now secure.
She couldn't help but think that Lu Jin'an definitely wouldn't have survived without her spiritual spring water.
The villainous boss in the original book, the zombie with devouring abilities that the male and female protagonists finally managed to defeat, was Lu Jin'an, right?
When she learned about Lu Jin'an's superpowers, she had some suspicions, and she didn't expect to be right.
After Carl fed Lu Jin'an a whole pot of spiritual spring water, Lu Jin'an's condition stabilized, and the stench became more and more obvious.
Xin'er quickly led Carl out of the tent to avoid being suffocated by the fumes.
The tent flap was lifted, and a domineering aura swept in. Then, Xin'er and the other person came out.
This smell... it must be from a zombie.
Lu Zheng's vision went black, and he almost collapsed, but fortunately his assistant caught him in time.
"Base Commander! My condolences!"
Many of the other guards were red-eyed with envy. As soldiers, Lu Jin'an was the object of most of their admiration. He was so young; it was truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent.
Xin'er was very puzzled. "What are you doing? Lu Jin'an is perfectly fine. Base Commander, we've brought him back to life. Don't try to renege on your promise."
"They...they're saved?"
Lu Zheng's previously hunched back straightened instantly.
"You said Jin'an was saved!"
"Yes, I'm fine."
Sensing the fluctuations of awakened supernatural abilities within, Xin'er raised an eyebrow.
"It seems he has unexpectedly benefited and awakened a second superpower."
Lu Zheng burst into tears of joy. His previously strong composure and strength crumbled in this moment of relaxation, and tears streamed down his face.
"Good! Good! Miss Xin! We are deeply grateful and will remember this kindness."
"I will definitely keep my word about the crystal cores I promised Miss Xin."
He gave his assistant a wink, and the man immediately went to the next tent and brought out a wooden box for Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng took the box and opened it. Inside was a fist-sized, translucent white crystal core. He handed the box to Xin'er with both hands.
"Miss Xin, this is the level 5 crystal core."
This crystal core was much larger than a level three one, and its color was much more beautiful, shimmering with iridescent light in the sunlight. Xin'er accepted it calmly and casually tossed it into her spatial storage.
"I'll accept the payment."
"Of course. The conditions here are simple, Miss Xin. If you don't mind, would you like to rest and sit for a while? We've already made a decision about what happened last time, so let's discuss it in person."
Xin'er had originally planned to wait for Lu Jin'an to come out before leaving, as she felt responsible for the payment she had received. However, considering Lu Jin'an's situation, she pointed to the tent again, reminding Lu Zheng.
“Sure, since you have water-type ability users, prepare some more water for him. He'll probably need it later.”
Lu Zheng nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll have someone arrange it."
Lu Zheng and his team had a limited supply of crystal cores, so they selected several important bases and ordered from Xin'er to purchase one large teleportation array, five medium-sized ones, and twelve small ones.
Xin'er then revealed that she had just researched and developed teleportation stones, defense stones, and space stones, which made Lu Zheng envious once again.
Buy it! You absolutely must buy it!
He was anxious to ask Xin'er to set aside some for him, so he went back and immediately confirmed the exact quantity before placing the order.
He actually wanted to buy them all, but he didn't know how many crystal cores the finance department still had...
Xin'er wasn't in a hurry. "The supermarket will be serving Xinghuo Base in the next few days, and I'll go there then."
"Report!" Lu Jin'an's voice rang out from outside the tent.
"Come in." The two stopped talking and looked towards the door at the same time.
Lu Jin'an had already washed up and changed into a neat military uniform. He looked energetic and full of life, and upon closer inspection, his skin had improved a lot.
Lu Zheng looked him up and down, then nodded in satisfaction. "You brat, all done?"
Since he didn't speak in his superior capacity, Lu Jin'an naturally replied, "Okay, all done."
Lu Jin'an knows best that not only has his injury healed this time without leaving a scar, but even his old scars and injuries from before have healed!
He felt he had never been so relaxed, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his fighting power had doubled.
Lu Zheng reminded him, "You're lucky to be alive this time; you owe it all to Miss Xin."
Although Lu Jin'an was somewhat disoriented at the time, he could still distinguish people. He knew that she had saved him.
He turned to face Xin'er, about to thank her, when Xin'er raised her hand to stop him.
"No, stop! I was paid too, no need to thank me."
Lu Jin'an pursed his thin lips slightly, "I still need to thank you."
He had awakened before and was well aware that the changes in his body were not caused by the awakening of superpowers.
The only explanation is that Xin'er did something.
He knew she had secrets too, and if she didn't tell him, he certainly wouldn't ask any more questions; he would keep them a secret.
Unable to resist their overly enthusiastic and grateful gazes, Xin'er quickly took Carl and slipped away after finishing her business.
