Chapter 220 Gift of Body Enhancement Agent to Xiao Li
"Enhance self-healing ability? I don't want this potion. Sister, you drink it yourself. That way, even if you get injured, you can heal quickly. I'm just a rough guy, I don't need it."
Lin Xiao knew that anything made by his sister must be a treasure.
The previous enhancement drug had already given him extraordinary strength, and his sister later gave him a pair of boxing gloves.
These two items are priceless. He knew that Lin Muyan must think that he was in the army and was bound to get injured during missions, so she wanted to give him such good medicine.
But he couldn't be ungrateful. Although his sister was family, as her brother, he couldn't always expect her to give up her precious things for him.
Lin Muyan guessed that her older brother would refuse at first, so she immediately said:
“I’ve already taken this medicine, and it works well. You’ll definitely need it for your missions in the future, but Mom and Dad won’t let them leave the safe house for now, so we can’t use it for the time being. I’ll get more of this medicine later and give it to them. For now, you can use it first.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
After Lin Xiao left, Lin Muyan waited there for a while longer, and sure enough, Xiao Li, who had gone to park the car, returned.
Seeing that Lin Muyan hadn't left yet and seemed to be waiting for him, Xiao Li smiled.
The two chatted about the new recruits' training over the past few days, and then Lin Muyan took out a vial of medicine and handed it to Xiao Li.
Do you believe me?
Xiao Li immediately nodded: "Of course, I believe you."
"Then drink this medicine."
She originally planned to give the two newly acquired tubes of body enhancers to Fu Sinian and Wei Tuling respectively.
But after seeing Xiao Li, she changed her mind.
Wei Tuling's situation can be delayed, as he has already awakened a powerful lightning-type ability, but he is not good at fighting.
On the contrary, Xiao Li has martial arts skills, but he hasn't awakened any special abilities yet.
Giving him this vial of medicine will allow it to work more effectively.
Xiao Li took the medicine, hesitated for only a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine was not bitter or hard to swallow; on the contrary, it was cool and refreshing, and I did not feel any discomfort after drinking it.
After waiting a few seconds, Lin Muyan asked him, "Did you feel anything?"
Xiao Li carefully felt around, clenched his fist, twisted his neck, and frowned.
"I feel like I've become more energetic, like I have inexhaustible energy."
"That's right. This potion is called a Body Enhancer. The secret to my superhuman strength comes from this."
Xiao Li was shocked upon hearing this, but then he was deeply moved.
Lin Muyan actually gave him such a precious medicine; she truly considers him a good friend.
Then, as if he had thought of something, Xiao Li's gaze fell probingly on Lin Muyan, and he finally spoke:
"Su Chengan had previously secretly provided the higher-ups with a residual medicine, saying it could neutralize the toxins produced after being bitten by a mutated beast."
"He was bitten by a mutated rat in the mountains and was on the verge of death. You must have been the one who saved him, right?"
Lin Muyan did not deny it. The two medicines looked similar, and Xiao Li's father was a high-ranking officer in the military. Information would inevitably reach them, so it was not surprising that they would have such intelligence.
She thought for a moment and said:
"You can also hand over the empty vials you have to see if the experts can get any inspiration from them. However, it's probably impossible to completely replicate them. The number of vials I can get here is also very limited, just a few."
Xiao Li understood the meaning behind Lin Muyan's words, and he said seriously:
"Don't worry, Su Cheng'an didn't say anything about you that time. Even though the higher-ups kept pressuring him, he didn't say anything. I won't reveal it either. But my grandfather should be able to guess. Don't worry about him, he won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and said:
"The vial of medicine that Young Master Su handed over is called an emergency medicine. I haven't tried it myself, so Young Master Su is essentially helping me test it. I guess that medicine can not only clear the toxins produced by the bites of mutated beasts and prevent people from going berserk and turning into monsters, but it also has a therapeutic and preventive effect on the zombie virus. Experts can focus their research on that kind of medicine. As for the one you have, there's no need to force it."
After discussing the medicine with Xiao Li, Lin Muyan went to see Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian knew that Lin Muyan had met with the team members assembled by Wei Turing, and he thought for a moment and said:
"Are you planning to form a team to hunt crystal cores? Then it would be best to start making arrangements in the next few days. The number of mutated beasts in the S Special Zone is limited. Once the army intervenes and wipes them out in large numbers, we will only be able to hunt in places outside the S Special Zone."
"As far as I know, the higher-ups are attaching great importance to Special Zone S this time, and the military investment here will be unprecedented, even higher than in Beijing."
"Although the status of Beijing is unshakeable, the higher-ups have taken into account a series of advantages and disadvantages, such as the terrain. In addition, they know that the Fire Girl comes from S City. Your nemesis, Shen Jiaojiao, also said during her live broadcast that she comes from S City. The higher-ups believe that S City is the origin of the Awakened and that the city has a certain destiny."
Lin Muyan: ...
Although it's a bit far-fetched, what the authorities thought was actually correct by sheer coincidence.
The first 888-story doomsday fortress, capable of accommodating at least 200 million people, will indeed be built first in the S Special District.
Once the doomsday fortress is completed, District S will become famous worldwide overnight, becoming the most desirable post-apocalyptic city for humanity.
“Alright, I’ll give the order to Wei Turing right away and have them form teams to hunt for crystal cores.”
"There are already six Awakened in the team, so strength shouldn't be a problem."
"By the way, how are you feeling? Any signs of awakening?"
Fu Sinian shook his head. Although he still looked relaxed, only he knew how much he longed to awaken his superpowers as soon as possible.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and said:
"How about you go on a mission with the team? Maybe you can have more contact with mutated beasts and awakened beings, which will be beneficial to you."
Fu Ssu-nien nodded; there was no other way.
He hasn't been able to sleep at all these past few days; every time he closes his eyes, he thinks about how he hasn't awakened his superpowers yet.
Without awakening his special abilities, how can he stand by Lin Muyan's side and walk alongside her in the future?
Not only that, these past few days he has either been unable to sleep or had nightmares when he did fall asleep.
The nightmare was very strange. He felt as if he had been pulled into a parallel universe, dreaming that he and Lin Muyan had no interaction and could only secretly pay attention to her as before.
But he saw that Lin Muyan wasn't doing well, and in the end... she was even eaten by a mutated beast...
In his dream, he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as Lin Muyan fell into a pool of blood.
That kind of excruciating pain, whenever I dream of it, will startle me into a cold sweat, and I will be unable to calm the pain in my heart for a long time after waking up.
He didn't know why he had such a dream. In the dream, Lin Muyan was weak and powerless, but she had clearly awakened fire-type abilities, so she shouldn't have let the mutated beasts devour her.
Even though he knew the dream was fake, Fu Ssu-nien was still terrified.
He absolutely cannot let this happen; he must become stronger as soon as possible…
