"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, I just feel it's a little weird..." Han Xiao waved his hand and looked at his arm. He had awakened his supernatural powers. Logically speaking, with his original physical fitness, the attack of the mutant plants on him just now should not have caused such an injury.
"How could it be so serious?" Jiang Yang couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the condition of Han Xiao's arm. Several people in the office also saw the injury on Han Xiao's arm and couldn't help but gasp.
"That vine is poisonous..." Mu Jiao frowned, staring at Han Xiao's arm which had begun to swell, and said worriedly.
"Well, the vine seems to be poisonous. The three people who were tied up before were just released from the infirmary a few days ago..." Zhou Zhiguo nodded solemnly and said worriedly.
"What should we do? We have to find Chen Ruoruo and ask her clearly..." someone suggested.
"That's right... Let's go find her now..."
"Yes..." The others echoed, stood up angrily and prepared to walk out the door.
"Come back..." Han Xiao suddenly shouted loudly, with a hint of majesty in his voice.
Everyone stopped and looked back at Han Xiao, only to see that his face was becoming increasingly gloomy. As they watched his arm becoming increasingly red and swollen, their faces were filled with worry and resentment.
"Captain Han..." one of them shouted, with reluctance in his voice.
"Isn't it embarrassing enough? Besides, she also said that the vines are not controlled by her special ability..." Han Xiao frowned, glanced at everyone, and said slowly.
However, everyone still stood there hesitantly. Were they just going to suffer this loss in silence?
"But your injury..." someone couldn't help but remind him again.
"I'll go to the infirmary and ask Dr. Sun to come over. She has more experience in dealing with this..." At this time, Zhou Zhiguo interrupted and said to Han Xiao, and then prepared to leave.
"No need, Jiang Yang can handle it..." Han Xiao immediately refused, and then looked at Jiang Yang on the side.
Jiang Yang was originally an excellent surgeon. After awakening his superpowers, he has been following Han Xiao. He has extensive experience in treating wounds of various mutated animals and plants.
After carefully examining Han Xiao's arm, he skillfully took out various tools and medicines from the medical bag and concentrated on treating Han Xiao's arm.
In the office, everyone held their breath, staring at Jiang Yang, waiting quietly.
"But the vines are clearly wrapped around Chen Ruoruo, so why is she safe and sound?" A voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room. Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Mou Jiao who spoke. At this moment, her face was full of confusion and puzzlement.
Everyone frowned involuntarily as they looked at Han Xiao's abnormally swollen arm. They remembered that every time they saw Chen Ruoruo, the vines seemed to be wrapped around her body, more or less clinging to the exposed part of her skin.
Han Xiao had only briefly come into contact with the vines before experiencing such a severe reaction. However, Chen Ruoruo's skin on her neck or arms, where the vines had entangled them, had never experienced a reaction as severe as Han Xiao's.
"This vine is indeed a bit weird..." Han Xiao said with a serious expression. He remembered that as soon as he pulled Chen Ruoruo's hand, the vine wrapped around him and became tighter and tighter. However, Chen Ruoruo, who was on the other end of the vine, did not seem to have any discomfort at that time.
"That vine may be able to control the output of toxins and the output location on its own..." Ma Qian said after looking at Han Xiao's arm.
"Well... I think the vine should be protecting Sister Ruoruo..." Tao Dan said.
"Sister Dandan, do you mean that the mutant vine is protecting Chen Ruoruo? How is that possible?" Li Jun looked at Tao Dan in disbelief and asked. He raised his voice unconsciously due to excitement, making his rough voice even louder.
"Li Jun, speak a little more quietly, you're scaring Dandan..." A team member standing next to him rubbed his ears, which had some tinnitus, and then nudged him with his elbow and said, for the burly Li Jun, it was just a floating force.
"Ah? I'm sorry. I was so excited just now that I couldn't control myself. Don't be afraid, Sister Dandan..." Li Jun raised his muscular arms and rubbed his head. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his fleshy face, and he said a little embarrassedly.
"Yeah..." Tao Dan smiled comfortingly at Li Jun.
"Protection?" Han Xiao murmured in a low voice. He frowned and looked at his right hand which was swollen like a palm-leaf fan. In an instant, some images flashed through his mind quickly.
Suddenly, he seemed to have grasped the key moment and figured something out, and an incredible and terrifying guess came to his mind.
"Remember the first time Captain Han checked the vines, that thing suddenly attacked us?" Ma Qianren said with some fear.
"Um...."
"Tsk..." Fear appeared on many people's faces, and they were still frightened when they recalled the scene not long ago.
"I remember that when we saw the vines about to attack Team Han, we subconsciously mobilized our special abilities to defend ourselves. Then the vines seemed to be enraged and suddenly attacked us..." Jiang Yang recalled with a frown.
"In that case, the vine sensed the fluctuations of our supernatural powers and mistakenly thought that we were going to attack Chen Ruoruo, so it reacted like this..." Tao Dan nodded in agreement.
"Well, luckily Chen Ruoruo grabbed the vine in time..." Li Jun continued
"So, the three fire-type mutants in the base used fireballs to surround Chen Ruoruo. When the situation became critical, these vines suddenly appeared..." Zhou Zhiguo listened to what they said and recalled the situation when Chen Ruoruo had just arrived at the base and fought with the base members.
