Chapter 208: The Only Way (Second Update)
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were busy preparing to leave, but the father and son of the Qiu family had no idea about the big thing Zhou Fanghua had done behind their backs!
The Qiu family father and son were busy with official business, and did not send anyone to monitor Zhou Fanghua or report her whereabouts at any time. So although her whereabouts were not a secret, she did not bring anyone with her when she went to the Fang family. Naturally, no one knew that she had warned the Fang family and reported it to the Qiu family father and son in time.
The father and son were thinking about marrying Fang Yuxin after they captured Fang Mengyao. However, they didn't know that Fang Yuxin had decided to leave the safe zone because of Zhou Fanghua!
Not only were they unaware of this matter, General Song and General Li were also not aware of it.
After all, there are more and more zombies outside, and the situation is becoming more and more serious. No one would have thought that at this critical juncture, someone would have the brains to leave the safe zone.
In the eyes of most people, such behavior is no different from seeking death!
So, even though General Song and General Li already knew that Zhou Fanghua had been to the Fang family and had a very unpleasant experience, neither of them thought that the Fang family would leave the safe zone because of this.
That evening, in a room at the research institute, Shen Xi, wearing a neat white coat and frameless glasses, came to Lin Feiyin with a smile: "Ms. Lin, we meet again."
Lin Feiyin is now forced to stay in the research institute to cooperate with experimental research. Although she has not fallen to the point of lying on a cold laboratory table to be dissected, she must condense enough water with purification functions and provide blood samples every day for researchers to study.
However, her treatment was considered good. The room assigned to her was carefully decorated and very warm and comfortable, more upscale than her home before the apocalypse. Moreover, her three meals a day were also very rich. At the same time, the research institute would provide her with a certain amount of zombie crystal cores every day for her to absorb and enhance her superpowers.
Although a lot of water needs to be condensed every day, Lin Feiyin feels that this kind of life is much more comfortable than being outside.
However, she was very surprised to see a brand new Shen Xi here.
"Mr. Shen, why are you here?" Lin Feiyin looked at Shen Xi's dress in surprise. The lights were on in the room, and she could clearly see Shen Xi's appearance. Shen Xi was wearing a neat white coat, and his slightly long hair had been trimmed, which made him look more energetic. He was handsome, and after wearing frameless glasses, the sharpness and madness in his eyes were hidden, and he had a more elegant taste of a scholar, and his temperament was very attractive.
Lin Feiyin looked at him and couldn't help but blushing slightly. She was not very old, but had only graduated from college for a year, so she was easily attracted to a man like Chen Xi. Although Chen Xi was not as handsome as Fang Yuyang, Fang Yuyang's aura was too strong and full of hostility towards her. Compared with him, the gentle, elegant and handsome Chen Xi was much better!
She was not stupid, and looking at Shen Xi’s dress, she guessed his current identity: “Mr. Shen, are you a researcher here now?”
Chen Xi looked at Lin Feiyin, whose face was flushed, and smiled more gently: "Ms. Lin is really smart, she guessed it right! I am a new researcher, responsible for your project, and we will definitely meet often in the future."
When Lin Feiyin heard this, her face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She stammered, "Really? That's...that's really...really great."
Chen Xi smiled and nodded, his eyes slightly curved, looking at her 'gently': "Lin... Forget it, I'll still call you Feiyin. Feiyin, have you upgraded your supernatural power now?"
When he said this, Lin Feiyin lowered her head in shame. Her ability had not yet been upgraded, and she was worried that Shen Xi would look down on her because of this. After all, she didn't know how many people had humiliated her because of this incident!
Chen Xi saw her embarrassment and did not continue to ask. Instead, he said sympathetically: "Fei Yin, you don't have to blame yourself. Things like superpowers are very mysterious. We haven't figured out what's going on yet. Everyone is also trying to figure it out. Your superpowers have mutated again, so it's normal for you to have difficulty in advancing. This is not your problem."
When Lin Feiyin heard this, her originally uneasy mood was instantly calmed. She subconsciously looked at Chen Xi, her heart beating "bang bang", and with every strong beat, there was an intoxicating sweetness melting in her heart.
She felt that what Shen Xi said made so much sense, but she still said, “It’s all because I’m so useless, you don’t have to comfort me like this.”
Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "I'm telling the truth, and our research has found that the more powerful the ability, the more difficult it is to advance." This is not a lie, because it is indeed more difficult to advance with powerful abilities. However, if the aptitude is good enough, the difficulty of advancement will be greatly reduced.
Chen Xi deliberately only said one of these points, just to reassure Lin Feiyin. In fact, both he and Zheng Tianhe had begun to suspect that Lin Feiyin's aptitude was not high. But the question was, if her aptitude was not good, how could she mutate to have the ability to purify?
Logically speaking, those who can mutate their abilities are all people with better qualifications. And they have already discovered that it is easier for water-type ability users to advance than those with other abilities, but Lin Feiyin has not been able to advance, which is really unreasonable.
Therefore, they began to suspect that there was something wrong with Lin Feiyin's mutation. She might have discovered something, which led to the mutation of her supernatural power.
Regarding this question, when it was discovered that Lin Feiyin's superpowers had mutated, someone asked her, but the answer she gave was that she herself didn't know, as if the superpowers had suddenly mutated.
The people at the institute naturally didn't believe this, so they kept Lin Feiyin's blood sample for testing. Unfortunately, there was no progress.
So this time, they deliberately kept Lin Feiyin to cooperate with their research.
And Chen Xi came to see Lin Feiyin this time for a purpose, not just to chat with her and keep in touch.
After he spoke again, Lin Feiyin sighed and said, "So that's how it is. Then do you know how I can advance?" Ever since she was humiliated, she has always wanted to advance.
Why didn't those people dare to offend Fang Yuxin, but dare to humiliate her? Wasn't it because Fang Yuxin's wood ability was promoted to level 2, while hers was still at the elementary level? When she was promoted, she wanted to see if those people dared to offend her!
Unfortunately, her ability has only reached the primary or middle stage, and advancement is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Lin Feiyin was not aware of this situation. She naively thought that as long as she practiced hard, she would be able to advance quickly! Although Shen Xi's words were a disguised compliment to her, they also made her worry. If her ability was really difficult to advance, what would she do to advance? She couldn't be stuck at the primary level forever, right? In that case, her value would be even lower!
She was anxious, and couldn't help but look at Shen Xi for help: "Mr. Shen, can you help me?"
Shen Xi smiled confidently: "I came here today to help you." When he said this, he took out a syringe from his pocket. The syringe was already pulled open and filled with clear liquid.
Lin Feiyin looked at the syringe and suddenly became alert: "What is this?"
Seeing her frown, Chen Xi smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, this is processed energy liquid extracted from the crystal core. Don't underestimate it because it's only a small tube. In order to get it, a lot of crystal cores were consumed. Injecting it directly into the blood vessels is much more effective than directly absorbing the crystal core! If you want to advance, I'm afraid this is the only way."
In other words, if Lin Feiyin didn't use this method, she probably wouldn't be able to advance.
Lin Feiyin understood what he meant, and her face turned pale. She subconsciously resisted the method mentioned by Shen Xi, but Shen Xi's words made her dare not take the risk.
Chen Xi saw her hesitation and continued, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. What I said is all true. Don't you want to advance? Then there is only one way. Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's your problem whether to choose or not."
Lin Feiyin was still very hesitant. She had never heard of this method before, and it was directly injected into the blood vessels. She felt that this method was very dangerous.
However, just when she was hesitating and wanted to refuse, she suddenly saw Shen Xi's face become lonely, his eyes were hurt, and his voice was fragile: "You saved me, would I hurt you? I decided to use this method because I wanted to help you. Since you don't want to believe me, then..."
"I believe you!" Lin Feiyin said quickly. She couldn't bear to see Shen Xi so hurt. Although her mind didn't believe what Shen Xi said, her emotions responded first. "Mr. Shen, I'm not doubting you. I... I just heard about this method for the first time, and I feel weird."
Shen Xi then smiled: "As long as you believe me, are you willing to use this method?"
Lin Feiyin wanted to say that she didn't want to, but under Chen Xi's 'gentle' gaze, the words she said turned into "I do".
Chen Xi heard this and smiled more gently. He did not give Lin Feiyin a chance to regret and said directly, "Then let's start now." After that, he grabbed Lin Feiyin's wrist and pulled up her sleeve.
Biting off the syringe cover with his mouth, he said gently: "It may be a little painful, just bear with it."
Lin Feiyin nodded stupidly. Chen Xi's hands were wearing latex gloves, which were slightly cold. When her wrist was grabbed by such a hand, Lin Feiyin subconsciously became nervous.
However, Chen Xi moved quickly. He held the syringe in one hand and quickly found the location of the blood vessel. He inserted the needle at an angle, then pressed the syringe with his thumb and slowly pushed the liquid medicine into Lin Feiyin's blood vessel.
As the liquid medicine entered, Lin Feiyin first felt a throbbing pain at the place where she was stabbed, followed by a chill. As the chill entered her blood, Lin Feiyin's uneasiness grew stronger.
She subconsciously raised her head and saw Shen Xi's expressionless handsome face.
