Chapter 154 Are you apologizing to me? [20]
There were quite a few houses in the village, but everyone was terrified of the mutated plants, so Chen Wang chose the only three-story house in the village.
The houses are self-built, and the rooms are quite large.
You can also choose not to sleep in the bed and just make do on the floor.
The Chen Sui team chose the two-story building next door.
By the time everyone had settled in, it was almost dark.
Since they weren't killing zombies, the medical students were very active in doing other tasks.
Some are cleaning, others are boiling water.
Tonight's dinner is still instant noodles, with maybe two sausages added at most.
By the time they had filled their stomachs, it was completely dark.
The medical students have all gone upstairs to sleep.
Dr. Wang stayed with Shen Wang and the others.
Dr. Wang is studying the crystal nucleus that Achu dug out from the mutated plant.
"This must be the thing that provides the energy to the mutated plant, making it so powerful."
"Perhaps they complement each other."
"It's a pity there's no laboratory here, otherwise I really want to see what's inside this thing!"
Dr. Wang was very disappointed.
He really wanted to get to Beijing right away; there must be a laboratory there!
Dr. Wang looked at Shen Wang: "Captain Shen, when I leave tomorrow, I hope to take some samples of that mutated plant so that I can study it after we get to Beijing."
Shen Wang naturally nodded in agreement.
Dr. Wang returned the crystal nucleus to Achu.
Ah Chu held it in her hand and glanced at Lin Xiangheng, who couldn't help but stare at the crystal core.
Lin Xiangheng is a wood-type ability user.
Just like that mutated plant wanted to attack him more because he was a wood-type ability user.
Perhaps from the perspective of the mutated plants, Lin Xiangheng was a more delicious being than other humans.
This wood-based crystal core also had a mysterious attraction that drew Lin Xiangheng in.
Achu took this wood-type crystal core not to eat up awakened wood-type abilities like the female protagonist.
She has no interest in having so many superpowers.
Ah Chu originally intended to give this wood-type crystal core to Lin Xiangheng for him to absorb.
So Achu handed the crystal core to Lin Xiangheng: "Brother Lin, here you go."
Lin Xiangheng was stunned: "Give it to me?"
Achu nodded: "Hmm! Aren't you a wood-type ability user? And this is from a mutated plant, so I think it might be useful to you."
Lin Xiangheng was flattered.
Chen Wang glanced at Lin Xiangheng, then at A Chu.
He never received any gifts from Achu.
What gives Lin Xiangheng the right to do this?
Although... he still had some rationality left in his mind, and knew that what A-Chu said made sense.
So despite being unhappy, Chen Wang didn't say anything.
Lin Xiangheng really wanted the 'stone', so after confirming that A Chu was sincere in giving it to him, he didn't refuse.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you! I'll give you something later too!"
Ah Chu smiled shyly: "Brother Lin, you don't need to be so polite with me. I am very grateful that you risked your lives to pick me up in F City."
Lin Xiangheng happily took the crystal core.
When the emerald green 'stone' was in his hand, he immediately felt a strange power.
It was as if guiding him to extract something from this 'stone'...
Lin Xiangheng did indeed do that.
To onlookers, the green stone that had been glowing suddenly lit up in Lin Xiangheng's hands, and then slowly dimmed as if it had run out of power.
Later on, the green stone turned into a pile of powder!
Yue Tingsong and the others stared in astonishment, while Chen Wang was also slightly taken aback.
Dr. Wang even took off his glasses and looked closer.
"What's going on?!"
"How did the stone turn into powder?"
Chen Wang looked at Lin Xiangheng and asked him, "How do you feel?"
Lin Xiangheng took a deep breath: "I...I feel like the supernatural energy in my body has been instantly replenished, even stronger than before!"
He took a soybean out of his pocket.
The next second, bean sprouts emerged from his palm, then quickly turned green and grew leaves.
Lin Xiangheng stopped and looked at Chen Wang: "I wasn't wrong, my superpower is even more powerful now."
Normally, in the same amount of time, he could only get the soybeans to sprout a small bud.
But now, he actually got a bean sprout!
Chen Wang: "So, this green stone is indeed helpful to you."
"Does that mean that other mutated plants contain similar substances that you can also absorb?"
Let's expand our thinking further. What if there were other 'stones' with corresponding elemental abilities that could be absorbed by different ability users to become stronger?
This realization made Yue Tingsong and his team very happy.
"Let's find more of these later! Let's see if we can find any more stones that correspond to our elemental abilities!"
Maiya and the others were also very happy, feeling that there was hope for the future!
Shen Wang poured cold water on them, instantly calming them down.
He said, "If there are more of these stones, it means the world will be more dangerous."
Malt and the others could no longer laugh.
Shen Wang's purpose in saying this was simply to calm them down.
In fact, he was also eager to try it out.
In this world, only by becoming strong in every sense can one protect those they want to protect.
He glanced sideways at A-Chu, who seemed not to have realized what had happened yet.
This further solidified my resolve.
Lin Xiangheng thanked Achu again.
Ah Chu seemed to understand something, and she smiled happily: "Brother Lin's superpower has become more powerful. Maybe in the future he will be able to grow a lot of vines like that mutated plant!"
Lin Xiangheng thought of that troublesome mutated plant and felt a sense of longing.
"I will try my best!"
The group sat together and chatted for a while until Chen Wang reminded them, at which point they dispersed.
Lin Xiangheng and Maiya will be on night watch tonight.
They were all in the main room on the first floor.
Originally, Chen Wang wanted A Chu to sleep in a room on the first floor, but A Chu insisted on staying with them.
Shen Wang had no choice but to agree, as she had no other option.
They slept on the floor in the main room.
Chen Wang was still lying in a spot relatively close to A Chu.
In the latter half of the night, it was time for Chenwang to keep watch.
He had just gotten up and was about to wake Xu Da when he heard a noise behind him.
Shen Wang turned his head and saw that A Chu had also gotten up.
He thought Achu had woken up from a nightmare, so he went back and asked her softly, "What's wrong?"
Achu was still a little sleepy. She raised her hand and grabbed Chenwang's sleeve, saying softly, "Brother Chenwang, I'll keep watch with you tonight."
Every time Shen Wang heard her call him "brother," he couldn't help but feel a wave of tenderness in his heart.
He raised his hand and pressed down the stray hairs sticking up on the top of her head.
Her voice unconsciously softened: "No need, you can continue sleeping."
Ah Chu shook her head, her determination unwavering: "I want to go with you."
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Wang sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Okay, then you'll keep watch with me tonight."
Shen Wang did not wake Xu Da, who was supposed to keep watch with him, and led A Chu to sit down on a chair near the door.
Although it was summer, it was still a bit chilly in the early morning.
Shen Wang took off his coat and draped it over A Chu.
Then, he sat down next to her.
The countryside was very quiet in the early morning, with only the faint chirping of insects.
The door wasn't closed, and the silvery moonlight streamed in, so it wasn't completely dark.
Shen Wang looked at A Chu, who was sitting obediently beside him.
He said, "I shouldn't have lost my temper with you when dealing with the mutated plants."
Achu turned her head to look at Chen Wang and blinked: "Are you apologizing to me?"
Chen Wang: "Yes, I'm apologizing to you."
