There is a high wall outside the yard. The earth-type and gold-type superpowers of the Nirvana team reinforced the wall skirt, which can also block the attacks of zombies. They nailed the hollow iron door shut with several thick wooden boards to prevent light from leaking out. Although the zombies nearby have been cleared out, it’s always better to be cautious.
The owner of the courtyard is very good at enjoying the mood of life and has built a vegetable garden and a flower bed outside. No one takes care of the vegetables in the vegetable garden. Some have died, but others are growing lushly. The grape vines in the flower bed are climbing all over the wall, making it look lush and green.
Lin Dan sat on the stone bench, staring at the plants in a daze. She used the water she summoned to polish the doctor's shoes. Although it filtered out the dirt, it did not filter out the bacteria. Without fire to heat it, she really didn't dare to use it. When you are thirsty and hungry, eating instant noodles dry is definitely the worst choice. The gravel-like noodle residue is impossible to swallow without the lubrication of saliva.
She didn't want to be the first person in the world to choke to death while eating instant noodles, so she had to starve for a night and wait until the next morning when her superpowers were restored and she could summon water again. But even so, the amount of water she could summon in a day was only enough for her to drink, not more. She must work hard to increase the level of her abilities and summon more water.
Xiao Junlin stood not far away, looking at her thin figure, his eyes flickering. After a while, he turned around and said to Xiao Qiu who was standing by the window and looking out, "Come here."
Xiao Qiu was flattered, and ran out quickly, and asked happily: "Doctor, what do you want?"
Xiao Junlin pointed at Lin Dan and said, "Fill her bowl with water."
The sweet smile on Xiao Qiu's face suddenly froze. After a long while, she pouted and reluctantly walked to Lin Dan and poured water into her bowl. Although Lin Dan was a little puzzled, she still thanked the two of them politely. Xiao Qiu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome," but he didn't ask Lin Dan if he wanted to light a fire and cook the lunch box. Sister Liu Ye obviously doesn't like her, so she won't pay any attention to her!
After doing all this, she tilted her head and looked at the doctor, pretending to be cute and said: "Doctor, do you have anything else to do? Xiao Qiu will be responsible for taking care of your life from now on, please just give me your instructions!"
"I don't need your care, you can leave." Xiao Junlin said in a cold tone.
Xiao Qiu was reluctant to leave, which made Xiao Junlin very impatient. He suddenly looked at her deeply, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes. Xiao Qiu, who was reluctant to leave, immediately nodded and skipped away.
There was clearly nothing unusual about her behavior, but Lin Dan stared at her back for a long time. Although she has not been a member of the Nirvana team for long, she has already gotten to know each member very well through careful observation. There is no doubt that Xiao Qiu has a crush on Dr. Xiao, so she was so enthusiastic when Dr. Xiao asked her to come over. But when Dr. Shaw sent her away, her reaction was a little strange. She was very reluctant at first, but later she left happily as if nothing had happened.
When she feels wronged, she will habitually pout. She will surround whoever she likes and ask him/her questions and pester him/her endlessly. She does this to Liu Ye, to Nie Ting, and should also do this to Dr. Xiao. But she didn't. Instead, the doctor called her here and there and she was as obedient as a dog. This was obviously not in line with Xiao Qiu's character.
But these suspicious points had nothing to do with Lin Dan, so she just took a closer look and put them out of her mind. She stared at the instant noodles soaked in cold water, feeling troubled.
"Heat it up." Xiao Junlin said lightly.
Lin Dan was stunned for a second before explaining: "Dr. Xiao, I am not a fire-type mutant."
"Of course I know you're not a fire-type mutant," Xiao Junlin pointed at his solar acupoint and said, "Use your brain. Even without fire, water can still generate heat."
The original owner was a top student, and Lin Dan, who had obtained all her memories, naturally had an extremely rich reserve of knowledge. And she herself was very smart, and she figured it out almost immediately. She lowered her head and stared at the lunch box in her hand, her eyes gradually becoming focused.
Five minutes later, a puff of white smoke came out of the lunch box, and it was hot to the touch. Lin Dan quickly placed it on the stone table, his dark eyes still fixed on it, his cheeks growing paler and paler. Veins bulged out on her forehead, a sign of overexerting her brain. When the water in the lunch box finally boiled, she swayed and almost fainted.
The severe pain was like a long needle piercing from her left solar plexus to her right solar plexus. It was really uncomfortable. But she was very happy, biting her gums and saying, "Doctor, I understand. The high-frequency vibration of the polar molecules of water can generate heat energy. This is the principle of microwave heating. I can get hot water without fire."
"Yeah." Xiao Junlin stared at her with an unpredictable expression. A primary psychic can actually control structures as tiny as water molecules and drive them to vibrate at high frequencies to generate heat energy. What a powerful ability this is. She could not summon more water, but her control over water was unmatched. With time, how much will she grow?
Xiao Junlin's eyes flashed, but he didn't say a word. He took out a pair of tightly wrapped ivory chopsticks from his pocket and ate the softened noodles. The noodles were heated right under his nose; the process was very clean and there would be no problem eating them.
Lin Dan was stunned for a moment, then reminded: "Doctor, this is my dinner."
"Hey, so-and-so," Xiao Junlin called out casually, and Xiao Qiu immediately ran out of the house like a dog hearing a whistle, and asked happily, "Doctor, what do you want me to do?"
"Tell her what you want to eat and let her get it." Xiao Junlin looked at Lin Dan.
Lin Dan stared at Xiao Qiu's smiling face and said slowly, "I want a brand new steel lunch box that can be used as a pot, a pair of steel chopsticks, a knife, a pack of instant noodles, a lighter, an egg, a sausage, and a bottle of water."
She stared at Xiao Qiu, trying to find impatience on his face, but Xiao Qiu didn't think she was asking for too much. Instead, he was smiling.
"Anything else?" Xiao Qiu asked obediently.
"No need, these are enough." After Lin Dan finished his test, he already had a plan in his mind, but he didn't dare to look at Dr. Xiao any more. This legendary great scientist has no fewer secrets than hers, so it’s better not to pry into his secrets.
Xiao Junlin ate the noodles slowly, bite by bite, with very graceful movements.
Xiao Qiu ran into the hall to ask Liu Ye for supplies. Liu Ye asked her what she wanted these things for, and she honestly said that she was going to give them to Lin Dan. Liu Ye was very angry and was about to lose her temper when Xiao Qiu added, "The doctor asked me to give it to her. Sister Liu Ye, go talk to the doctor yourself."
Liu Ye looked very surprised. She put the clean dagger on her waist and walked out aggressively. Nie Ting grabbed her arm and whispered, "Stop making trouble and give them the things."
"Why?" Liu Ye turned around, eyes blazing with fire.
"Since he is the most outstanding scientist in China, he may be able to produce a vaccine against the zombie virus in the future."
"Hmph, you think he's too omnipotent. In fact, he's a loser who can't do anything. His ability is not even as good as that of a junior assistant under him! He's just seeking fame and reputation, and he's only good for show. Does he really think he's the boss? I won't indulge him!" Liu Ye tried to break free from Nie Ting's hand.
Nie Ting was anxious and lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down, be careful that Dr. Xiao hears. He has won so many international awards, how could he not have any real ability? I don't care why you are prejudiced against him, but you have to bear it! Don't forget, as long as we bring him back to the base, we can exchange him for ten tons of food!"
Liu Ye then remembered the three tasks issued by the military and had to suppress his hot temper. Yes, for the sake of food, even if she looked down on Xiao Junlin, she had to serve him well, after all, everyone believed in his strength! As if she thought of something, she turned around and looked at Ma Ze, her eyes flashing slightly.
"Sister Liuye, please give me the things quickly. Dr. Xiao is still waiting." Xiao Qiu urged.
Liu Ye finally came to her senses and put the things that Lin Dan asked for into a clean plastic bucket and asked Xiao Qiu to take it out.
"Doctor, this is what you wanted. Do you have any other instructions?" Xiao Qiu came running over happily.
"Put it down, you can go back." Xiao Junlin waved his hand, and she jumped away, more obedient than a dog.
In fact, Lin Dan and Xiao Junlin's five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. They had already heard the conversation between Liu Ye and Nie Ting, but their personalities were the kind that were hidden deep inside, so they did not show it on their faces. Lin Dan picked a few vegetables in the garden, washed them with the water Xiao Qiu brought, filtered out the residue and poured the water back into the plastic bottle for next use. Then he tore the leaves into pieces and threw them into the lunch box, put a bread on top, cut a piece of ham, peeled a braised egg, and soaked it in cold water.
She activated her mental power again, causing the water molecules to vibrate at a high frequency to generate heat energy. Five minutes later, she was already panting heavily and had a severe headache.
Xiao Junlin had finished his noodles long ago and was squinting at her. "Absorb this crystal core and you will feel better." He took out a transparent primary crystal core from his pocket.
Lin Dan felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited, but he still took the crystal core and mobilized the last bit of his mental strength to extract the energy inside. In just a blink of an eye, the crystal core she was holding in her palm disappeared, as if it had merged into her body. At the same time, a cool gas flowed through her burning head, slowly replenishing her almost dried up mental strength.
As we all know, the energy contained in the primary crystal core is the least. Once crossing the primary threshold and advancing to the first, second, or even higher level, the psychic will no longer absorb primary crystal cores because it has no effect on their cultivation.
But now, Lin Dan was shocked to find that the primary crystal core not only contained a pure energy that could be absorbed by any psychic of any attribute, but could also enhance the psychic's mental strength. However, this effect is not very obvious, and only people with extremely strong mental strength and sharp perception will notice it. But there are very few such people, probably less than one in a hundred thousand people, so no one has discovered the special features of the primary crystal core yet.
If one continues to absorb primary crystal cores, even when promoted to a higher level, the psychic's mental power will be greatly enhanced. No one knows that the so-called "superpowers" actually contain two kinds of energy, one is elemental power, and the other is mental power. Mental power is the basis for controlling elemental power. Absorbing a large amount of primary crystal cores can consolidate this foundation. Far from being garbage, it is also an extremely valuable resource!
And Dr. Xiao in front of him obviously knew everything.
