Chapter 69
Chen Cong fell into a coma for a long time this time. When she woke up, she felt the sunlight hitting her face, making half of her face hot.
She was sweating and her body was sticky.
"Gu Kai?" she called softly.
But no one responded.
Chen Cong opened his eyes and put his hand on his forehead to block out the glaring light.
Then he made some moves.
Only then did I realize that half of my body was numb.
How long had she been lying there?
Shen Cong turned around to look for her husband, but at this moment she heard a knock on the door.
"You haven't woken up yet?"
Just as she was about to answer, the door was pushed open from the outside and a familiar voice came in.
It’s Liu Tuan.
Then she heard her father-in-law answer from inside the house: "No, maybe we have to wait a little longer."
What's going on?
Chen Cong was stunned and lay on the bed, not daring to move, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Why was the old man in their room?
Where's Gu Kai? !
She quickly pulled at the towel blanket covering her body, and then called out softly, "Dad?"
The old man standing at the door paused for a moment, but he did not respond. Instead, he quickly took two steps forward, walked to the door alone, and blocked Captain Liu who was about to enter the house.
"Let's go out and talk. They haven't woken up yet." Chen Cong heard him say to Liu Tuan.
With the sound of a door opening and closing, the room returned to silence.
Chen Cong then sat up.
Because this room was converted from a military dormitory, there is naturally no double bed in the room. There are only two single beds placed against each wall.
There are two long square tables in the middle.
After Chen Cong sat up, she found her husband lying on another bed, still sleeping soundly and motionless.
The previous voices in the room did not wake him up.
She was extremely surprised and finally understood why her father-in-law was in their room.
This must be because they both fainted and the old man had to come over to take care of them.
Chen Cong hurried over to Gu Kai and touched his forehead.
Then we found that he didn't have a fever and there were no signs of injury on his body or face.
His expression was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
She poked his face gently with her finger, but the man didn't move.
Because he didn't know what Gu Kai's current situation was, Shen Cong didn't dare to touch him again.
"Are you awake? Do you feel unwell?"
After sending Captain Liu away, Mr. Gu came back again.
"No, I feel comfortable everywhere and have plenty of energy. Dad, what happened to Gu Kai?" Chen Cong asked worriedly.
The old man shook his head: "I don't know either. When I came here yesterday morning, both of you had fainted."
I remember when I got up yesterday morning, I saw that my son and daughter-in-law had not come out yet. I knocked on the door but they didn't open it, so I had to ask someone to open the door.
The old man is still frightened by the scene when he entered the room and saw that both people were unconscious.
Seeing Chen Cong fainted, he could still accept it, because he knew that his daughter-in-law's ability was originally stuck at that joint and might be about to break through.
But the old man was very worried about his son's coma.
Captain Liu and Mr. Zhao were also shocked.
Especially Captain Liu, he was the one who invited the people back, and if something happens on his territory, how will he explain it?
He was so scared that he immediately looked for the doctor in the camp. Uneasy, he sent someone back to the city to invite two experts from the city hospital.
But after examining for a long time, the doctors found nothing wrong.
The only conclusion we came to was that these two people were probably too tired and fell asleep.
After hearing that there was nothing wrong with the two people, Liu Tuan and Mr. Zhao relaxed a little, but they still felt something was not right.
How tired must one be to sleep so soundly?
Even with so many people calling him, he can’t be woken up?
But the doctors checked several times and the results were the same, they couldn't say anything.
Tuan Liu did not dare to let the doctors leave and insisted on keeping them in the camp.
I visited them several times in the past two days, and I saw that the couple were sleeping soundly. Except for not waking up, their other state was exactly the same as when they were asleep.
I am in very good health.
Liu Tuan was speechless, but there was nothing he could do.
He could only mutter in his heart how ruthless these two people were, and at the same time he didn't dare to let the doctors go back to the city.
But at this time, the old man was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.
He had experienced the situation when the situation escalated from depression to depression.
Although my daughter-in-law didn't sleep for two consecutive days at that time, she was almost unconscious. She was also very sleepy and couldn't be woken up once she fell asleep.
My son’s current condition is exactly the same as that of my daughter-in-law back then.
Could it be——
Did he also awaken his superpowers?
The old man was very happy when he thought of this.
My heart was pounding with excitement.
But no matter how happy I am, I dare not show it. I can only be happy quietly by myself.
Probably because he had never seen how other people awakened their superpowers, the only thing he had seen was silence. The only manifestation of the two superpower upgrades was sleepiness. He hadn't encountered any difficulties from beginning to end.
So the old man didn't even think about whether there would be any danger. He was only thinking about how to fool Liu Tuan and the doctors.
After briefly telling his daughter-in-law what happened in the past two days, the old man waved his hand and comforted her by seeing her worried expression: "Don't worry about Xiaokai, he should be fine.
He should have fallen asleep later than you. When I came in, you were lying on the bed, covered with a towel blanket, and you were lying there soundly.
He was lying on the edge of the bed, and it looked like he fainted after helping you clean up, and he couldn't even walk to the bed.
He went to bed later than you, and he must have woken up later than you, so don't worry, just wait a little longer."
After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask again: "Have you advanced? Has the space expanded again?"
Chen Cong was speechless.
The person lying there is his own son. I don’t know how the father-in-law can be so at ease with him?
But facing the old man's eager gaze, she could only answer honestly: "I have been promoted, but the space has not become bigger. I think my space may be like this, and it will not expand anymore."
"It doesn't matter if we don't expand it. Two thousand square meters is enough." The old man is content.
Then he continued, "What about other aspects of your life? How do you feel after being promoted?"
"Other aspects..." Chen Cong sat down silently on the side and did not say anything for a long time.
The old man looked at her nervously, wishing he could even breathe more lightly for fear of disturbing her.
About two minutes later, Chen Cong stretched out his hand, and suddenly a crutch appeared in his palm.
"Dad, here's what you have."
The old man was a little dazed and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
When did you need a cane?
"I don't want to. I'm walking fine and in good health!"
After saying this, he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly took the crutch.
"What is this? Where did you get the cane? We have never bought this before."
As he spoke, the old man had already noticed the difference, because the material of the cane was so familiar!
Isn’t this the steel pipe that was removed from the ruined house earlier?
The daughter-in-law twisted two steel pipes used to hang clothes together like a twist.
Not only did she twist them, she also stretched them, twisting the two hollow steel pipes into a rope, and then bent it into a crutch with handrails.
Chen Cong touched the tip of his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "My hands are too clumsy, I can only do it like this. I will practice more and make you a better one later."
The old man held the crutch, sat beside his son's bed, and looked at him over and over for a long time.
He was so shocked that it took him a while to collect his thoughts. He asked, "What kind of Kung Fu is this? Besides twisting the cane, what else can you do?"
"I can..." Chen Cong thought for a moment, "Maybe I can rebuild our steel frame house?"
After saying that, she slapped her leg with a look of annoyance!
"If we had known this would happen, why would we have dismantled the steel frame? We even used it to make a flower stand! What a waste! It's a total waste!"
She covered her chest as she spoke, looking as if she was heartbroken.
But the old man didn't care at all.
The house at home is enough, so it doesn’t matter whether there is a steel frame house or not.
But, can the daughter-in-law build the steel frame house by herself?
What a huge amount of strength this takes!
With such strength, even if you encounter something in the future, what will be scary?
The old man stood up and paced back and forth in the room excitedly, and then continued to ask: "Let's not talk about the steel frame house, Chong Chong, feel it carefully, can you handle any metal?"
"Probably." Chen Cong also stood up and walked around the room.
Finally, her eyes fell on the single bed where she had slept before.
The bed was probably converted from a bunk bed. There were four triangular iron brackets on the four sides of the bed. The cuts on the brackets had not been polished yet and looked a bit rough.
Chen Cong stood there without moving, just staring at the cut.
She didn't make any movement, and the cut gradually became smooth right under the eyes of the two people.
Soon, the cross-sections of the four brackets all turned into semicircular smooth surfaces, polished to a shiny finish.
There will no longer be any chance of accidentally hurting anyone.
The old man touched the cross-section again and again with his hands. Even though he knew in his heart that this was all real, he still found it hard to believe.
He looked at Chen Cong excitedly: "What kind of superpower do you have? Controlling metal?"
"That should be the case." Shen Cong nodded.
Of course, having another superpower besides space is a good thing, but secretly, Chen Cong still feels a little regretful.
In fact, she has always hoped that she could awaken water-related abilities since her previous life.
I always think that is the most practical.
Chen Cong pondered it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the awakening of this ability might be related to the fact that he had been thinking about what to do with those steel frames recently.
If you think about steel frames every day, won’t you realize that they are related to steel?
If she had known this would happen, how nice it would have been for her to think about water every day!
She stared at her hands and sighed quietly.
At this moment, Gu Kai moved his head and slowly opened his eyes.
The author has something to say:
In the next chapter, Gu Kai’s special ability will also awaken.
I have just finished writing this chapter, and I think I won’t be able to finish the next chapter by twelve o’clock. Don’t wait, come and read it tomorrow morning.
