Jiang Lin wakes up
Jiang Lin was slightly stunned, looking at Wen Yan's eyes, which were slightly moist.
"Why did you almost make yourself unable to wake up again just to save him?" Wen Yan's voice was hoarse. He had hardly slept in the past few days, worried that she would never wake up again.
Jiang Lin stroked his messy hair and said, "No, I was trying to clarify some things and erased his spiritual anchor point."
Wen Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with her somewhat perfunctory explanation.
"You haven't told me how he is doing."
"In an underground prison, but the environment is pretty good. He's in good condition and very peaceful."
Jiang Lin: "Then quickly release him. He is no longer a potential bomb. Shenmu cannot control him from harming the First Base."
"Yeah." Wen Yan responded calmly and sent a message to the dungeon manager.
"Bang!" The door was violently opened and hit the wall. Jiang Lin looked at Tang Xiaoyan with messy hair at the door in a daze. She looked very different from the usual Dr. Tang now. It was a bit like when they just met and Tang Xiaoyan was still unconscious.
"You, you're awake." Tang Xiaoyan rushed over and checked Jiang Lin's body from top to bottom. After confirming that the person in front of her was really alive, she took a step back apologetically.
Jiang Lin moved a little further away from Wen Yan unnaturally. Now they were too close and it looked a little ambiguous.
It would have been fine if he hadn't moved, but as soon as he moved, Tang Xiaoyan immediately noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two of them: "Ahem, Jiang Lin, thank you, I really--" Tang Xiaoyan choked and couldn't speak.
"I have my own intentions, not entirely for you and him." Jiang Lin felt a little embarrassed.
Wen Yan's face was a little grumpy. He finally had some alone time, but it was interrupted one after another. He pulled Jiang Lin back, who was getting further and further away from him.
"Come to my house for dinner tomorrow and I'll cook you a big meal." Tang Xiaoyan said as she backed away, stealing glances at Wen Yan's face.
"Is the food you cook edible?" Jiang Lin was a little skeptical that Tang Xiaoyan could really cook.
"Of course I can. I won't disturb you anymore. Have a good rest." Tang Xiaoyan gently closed the door of the ward. She had just received the message that Ashin had been released, and she knew that Jiang Lin must have woken up.
After Tang Xiaoyan left, Jiang Lin realized that the atmosphere between him and Wen Yan was a little awkward: "Why don't you go home and have a good rest? I'm fine in the hospital alone."
"No, I want to go back too. Let's be discharged from the hospital."
Jiang Lin doesn't like hospitals and she misses her little room very much now.
"No, you can only be discharged from the hospital tomorrow after the doctor confirms that you are ready to go." Wen Yan refused ruthlessly, "As for me, I don't want to leave you for a moment now."
Wen Yan took the medicine from the cabinet and treated the wound caused by the needle on Jiang Lin: "Next time you wake up, get up slowly." Jiang Lin was still very thin, and his arms were almost all hard muscles.
"This is not something I can control." Jiang Lin withdrew his injured arm with a guilty conscience: "Go to sleep quickly, I see you haven't had a good rest in the past few days."
"Yeah." Wen Yan opened the folding bed next to him. He couldn't sleep at all these days. Now seeing Jiang Lin appear in front of him again and talking to him, he felt sleepy.
But he still didn't dare close his eyes.
Jiang Lin, lying back on the bed, was a little confused: "What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'm afraid that when I wake up again, you'll be gone again." Wen Yan is now very afraid that all this is a dream, and when he wakes up, Jiang Lin will still be the person lying in bed who has been diagnosed as a vegetative state.
That day was a nightmare for him.
"Go to sleep, I'm always here." These words were like a lullaby, soothing his tense nerves. Wen Yan fell asleep in a short while, and his steady breathing could be heard beside him.
"110?" Jiang Lin called the system in his heart.
[I'm here, host. You've been in a coma for three days.] 110's voice remained as calm as ever: [But it's a blessing in disguise. Your mental strength has improved.]
"Can you also detect my physical values?"
"Of course, why else would I choose you?" 110 said with a bit of arrogance.
"I erased Zhong Xin's spiritual anchor point in the sacred tree's sea of consciousness. Does that mean he will never be controlled by the sacred tree again?" Jiang Lin asked what she had always wanted to ask.
[That's right, the sacred tree can no longer control him.]
The answer from 110 made Jiang Lin feel completely relieved. She didn't know when her trust in the system grew.
This time, the erasure of the spiritual coordinates was not only for Zhong Xin. Jiang Lin couldn't explain why he took such a big risk and erased it forcibly.
She is a cautious person who always protects her own life. This time, ostensibly for Zhong Xin, Jiang Lin is actually exploring the power of the sacred tree.
Mental control was still too terrifying, but after knowing that all this could be reversed, Jiang Lin felt relieved.
[Host, you urgently need a good rest now.] The 110 call rang out again, and Jiang Lin felt the familiar warmth flowing through his body.
This is how she felt when 110 bound her for the first time: "What did you use on me?"
[Something good for your health, go to sleep.] The voice of 110 was a little tired. This operation required a huge amount of energy.
Jiang Lin's heart felt warm, and he fell into a deep sleep on the hospital bed.
The next day, when she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified face. Jiang Lin instinctively punched him. Wen Yan covered her face and stepped back.
"Why are you standing so close to me?" After Jiang Lin found out that he was the one being beaten, he jumped off the bed, leaving a red mark on the left side of Wen Yan's face.
"I'm afraid I was dreaming yesterday and you're still a vegetable. Just observe." Jiang Lin didn't hold back much power in that punch, and Wen Yan felt his teeth were a little loose.
Both of them were admitted to the dental clinic before being discharged from the hospital.
Jiang Lin looked at Wen Yan, who was lying on the examination bed and cooperating with the doctor's dentistry, with a guilty look on his face. Tang Xiaoyan walked in from outside: "You are too cruel. Don't beat him away."
"Oh, I didn't mean to."
"Let's not talk about this. Sheng Wei, Xu Anan and others will also come to my house in the evening. Remember to come to my house." Tang Xiaoyan patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and left the clinic.
After spending a whole morning in the hospital, he finally arrived home safely. Although he had only been away for a few days, Jiang Lin felt like he had been away from his own courtyard for a long time.
She collapsed into the soft sofa, breathing in the familiar aroma.
On the other side of the Shenmu Cave, Chen Guanghai felt a little uncomfortable seeing the underground cave he had not seen for a long time. In terms of environment, the southern base was much better.
"Why did you call me here?" Chen Guanghai looked at the sacred tree that had filled the entire cave.
"Do you want to go back to the First Base? You have done a good job recently, so I decided to give it to you." Shenmu's tone was light.
Chen Guanghai stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time: "You mean, the First Base?"
"Yes, get ready, it will be yours tomorrow." The branches of the sacred tree pushed him out of the cave. She was completely enraged by the fact that Jiang Lin had cleared his mental anchor point.
Or perhaps it frightened her. Why was she so frightened when she was clearly only human? Human life was so fragile, and she had to end Jiang Lin's fragile life before she could grow up.
When Chen Guanghai was pushed out of the cave, he had not yet fully recovered from the news. He looked at the mutant subordinates who came with him and suddenly raised his voice.
That night, Jiang Lin and Wen Yan arrived at Tang Xiaoyan's house on time. The food on the table was ordinary yet noble. It was obvious that she had spent a lot of money at the base supermarket today.
"Can you survive this month?" Jiang Lin joked as he looked at the food on the table.
"Then they must have saved enough points to get through this month, and many of the dishes were smuggled from your research institute." Tang Xiaoyan gave her a joking look.
When the steaming hot rice was served, Jiang Lin's eyes lit up: "When did this happen?"
Sheng Wei spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that you missed the time when rice was on the market, because you were still in a coma and could only take nutrient solution."
Jiang Lin took a big bite. The most important requirement for base-grown products is yield, so they will be slightly weaker than ordinary varieties in other aspects.
But the unique aroma of rice still made Jiang Lin very satisfied: "It's delicious."
Under the warm yellow light, familiar friends sat together and enjoyed the hard-earned food, which made Jiang Lin feel that the end of the world was over.
But the next second, she suddenly felt the floor shaking slightly. Jiang Lin held her head and said, "It's over. I seem to have sequelae. I feel the floor shaking."
She turned to look at Wen Yan's expression and found that she was not the only one who felt the vibration.
Her subconscious told her that danger was coming again, so Jiang Lin quickly finished the rice in her bowl and didn't want to waste it.
Before she could swallow the last bite, Wen Yan pulled her hand and ran outside.
The building was shaking more and more violently, and many people ran out of their homes. Jiang Lin swallowed her meal with difficulty. By the time they ran to an open area, the building had collapsed.
The six people looked at the ruins on the ground in shock.
"Is this an earthquake?" Xu Anan said in disbelief.
Before they could react, the earth began to shake again, huge roots floated in the soil, and a familiar smell drifted in the air.
"It's the sacred tree!" Jiang Lin reacted and led everyone away from the ruins.
The roots of the sacred tree continued to grow and surge, and the ground began to crack, as if there had been an earthquake.
Screams were heard all around, and many people were dragged underground. Wen Yan tried his best to protect Jiang Lin and block the construction materials and soil that were flying everywhere.
The base's alarm sounded rapidly.
Ten earthquake vehicles parked in the warehouse were dispatched. The first base collapsed at a very fast speed, and the land stained with human blood was turned into the ground again.
Jiang Lin was looking at the scene that was like hell on earth. Suddenly, she felt Wen Yan hugging her, followed by a muffled sound.
A huge piece of metal hit his back and Wen Yan collapsed.
Jiang Lin carried his limp body on his back and ran across the man-eating land.
"Come over here, Jiang Lin!" Sheng Wei's voice came. She had already jumped onto a seismic vehicle, which was well-suited to earthquake-like situations. But now it was full of people. Sheng Wei stood on the roof and waved to them.
Jiang Lin held Wen Yan on his back with one hand and climbed onto the earthquake truck with the other.
When I stood at the top, I could no longer see the outline of the First Base. Everything disappeared in the dust.
Wen Yan lay beside her, breathing weakly. His spine was injured. Without high-end medical equipment, it was questionable whether he could survive.
Jiang Lin seemed to have returned to that bloody afternoon when the loss broke out.
