Xiao Junlin looked at Lin Dan's slightly red cheeks and asked, "How do you feel?"
Lin Dan said frankly: "I feel much better. The primary crystal core can replenish mental strength, right?"
Xiao Junlin stared at the dark sky without focus and said slowly: "That's right, in this world, the more ordinary things are, the more likely they are to be overlooked. But who knows, it is often these inconspicuous little things that can create miracles." He turned his head and looked at Lin Dan deeply, with an unfathomable light flashing in his pupils.
Lin Dan felt that she was the "little thing" he mentioned, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. Dr. Xiao's willingness to tell her these secrets was definitely not out of kindness, but rather stemmed from a scientist's desire to explore new species. He seemed to be observing her as a guinea pig, but even so, she could only endure it silently. Who made her have no strength now and could only rely on the strong to survive? In the Nirvana team, the only person who has no hostility towards her is Dr. Xiao.
Xiao Junlin seemed to have opened up a new topic and continued, "Superpowers consist of two parts, one is elemental power, and the other is mental power. The two should be directly proportional, but there are some exceptions, such as you. Elemental power is reflected in the strength of superpower attacks, and mental power is reflected in the accuracy of superpower control. Which one do you think is more important?"
Lin Dan shook his head honestly: "I don't know, because I haven't practiced it."
Xiao Junlin curled the corners of his lips and whispered, "Then I look forward to you finding the answer."
Lin Dan was lost in thought over his words, and when she came to her senses, her face was almost blurred. She quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating, with a satisfied expression on her face. For her, being able to eat a full meal in peace and quiet seemed to be a supreme enjoyment. If people had reincarnation, she must have starved to death in her previous life.
Xiao Junlin stood in the courtyard, looking at a cold star in the sky, wondering what he was thinking. When Lin Dan finished eating, he pointed at his ivory chopsticks and said, "Disinfect my tableware and scald my gloves with boiling water."
So you are waiting for my free disinfection machine? Lin Dan's mouth twitched slightly, but she still cleaned Dr. Xiao's lunch box, chopsticks, and gloves, and boiled them for disinfection. After doing all this, her mental strength was exhausted again. It felt like there were hundreds of nails stuffed in her head, and she felt severe pain at the slightest movement.
"Your reward." Xiao Junlin took out a few transparent crystal cores from his pocket.
Lin Dan didn't act pretentiously and immediately took it and absorbed it. A few minutes later, her head no longer hurt. Instead, she felt extremely relaxed, as if even her soul had been purified. This was probably the result of her enhanced mental strength. She didn't know the specific situation and would have to slowly explore it in the future.
"Have you recovered your energy?" Xiao Junlin asked at the right time.
"Recovered." Lin Dan nodded.
"When you recover, drain the moisture off the cutlery and gloves. I don't like wet things."
The doctor really makes the best use of everything. Lin Dan sighed as he extracted the water from the dishes and gloves and poured it into a plastic bottle. Xiao Junlin frowned, as if he was somewhat disgusted with her behavior of saving water, but he didn't say anything, because he understood that the water in nature actually went through the same process, being recycled and reused repeatedly, so that it can be inexhaustible.
"Okay, it's done." Lin Dan held up the white gloves and said, "Doctor, do you want me to help you put them on?"
"Well, put it on." Xiao Junlin stretched out his slender hands. Every move was natural, yet revealed elegance and arrogance.
Lin Dan glanced at him and thought to himself: This person must have been a favored child of heaven since he was a child, and was held in high esteem by others and had never fallen, so he developed this temper. The end of the world has come, and he is still like this. How should he live in the future? But these things were obviously not what she should care about. She just had to take good care of Dr. Xiao and reach the survivor base safely under his protection.
The two stood facing each other, their figures blending into the night, and both with their heads lowered, looking very intimate. Liu Ye walked to the window and looked for a while, with a sneer on her lips. Some people just can't change their bad habits. When they can't survive themselves, they take advantage of others, but they don't know that the one they are hooking up with is just a piece of trash. If she likes it, let her do it.
Thinking of this, she shouted to the people in the courtyard, "Dr. Xiao, it's getting late and you should go to bed. We have cleaned a room for you. Come in and take a look."
At the same time, Lin Dan also helped Dr. Xiao put on gloves and was preparing to put the two sets of tableware into the bucket and take them back to the house. Noticing that Dr. Xiao was staring at the bucket full of debris, she twitched her lips and explained, "Don't worry, I will definitely disinfect it before eating tomorrow! Is boiling it in boiling water for ten minutes enough?"
"If you have enough mental strength, cook it for half an hour." Xiao Junlin ordered as a matter of course, then walked into the small building with elegant steps. Lin Dan stared at his back, feeling quite amused. Dr. Xiao really doesn't know how to write the word "polite". Does he think his words are an imperial edict?
But it was obvious that in Nie Ting's ears, Dr. Xiao's words were no different from an imperial edict, because his value was equivalent to ten tons of grain and a permanent private territory, which was enough for Nie Ting to serve him like an ancestor.
"Are you not satisfied? Okay, I'll ask someone to clean it again." Nie Ting waved his hand slightly, and two ordinary women without special powers walked into the master bedroom, holding a broom, a mop and a bucket of water in their hands. They have cleaned the house three times, this is the fourth time.
"They didn't clean it properly, let Lin Dan clean it up." Xiao Junlin ordered in a light tone.
Liu Ye sneered and then shouted, "Lin Dan, where are you? Come here."
Lin Dan and several ordinary people without special powers slept in a crowded room. There was no mattress or quilt. They just spread a torn mat on the ground and curled up their hands and feet to barely get through the night. She possesses water-related abilities and is considered an alien by ordinary survivors. However, she is weak and is not welcomed by those with abilities. She can be said to be surviving in the cracks. No one on either side wanted to pay attention to her, so she could only go it alone.
Hearing Liu Ye's shout, she had to get up and go outside to check the situation.
"Come here and help the doctor clean the room until he is satisfied." After learning from Ma Ze and others how difficult Dr. Xiao was to serve, Liu Ye couldn't help but speak with a gloating tone. There are risks in clinging to someone powerful. If you accidentally cling to a madman, it will only backfire.
Lin Dan nodded without saying anything, took the cleaning tools into the room and started working. The rest of the people were exhausted after a whole day and were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes. They dispersed in less than three seconds. As for what time Lin Dan will work tonight and whether he will not be able to sleep all night, who cares?
After Lin Dan closed the door, he threw the broom and mop aside, poured the water in the bucket onto the ground, and used his mental power to compress it into a thin layer of water film, which moved around the room. The water film vibrates continuously at a high frequency, taking away dirt and dust in every corner, more efficiently than a professional cleaning team.
Wherever the water film crawls, the floor becomes exceptionally smooth and bright, as if it had just been renovated. In the end, even the dust and cobwebs on the ceiling and chandeliers were swept away by the water film. The originally shabby room was clean and tidy after half an hour.
"Doctor, do you want to wash and disinfect the sheets and quilt covers?" Lin Dan pointed at a set of unopened bedding on the bedside table. This was provided by Liu Ye. I don’t know where she got these supplies, but she really has everything you need.
"Wash it clean and disinfect it." Xiao Junlin was very satisfied with Lin Dan's efficiency. His stiff limbs had completely relaxed. He was now sitting on a chair that Lin Dan had scalded with boiling water, closing his eyes and dozing off.
"Then I will need two large buckets of water and some primary crystal cores." Lin Dan rubbed his painful solar plexus.
Xiao Junlin uttered an inaudible "hmm" but did not move. However, half a minute later, Xiao Qiu knocked on the door and asked with a smile, "Doctor, what can I do for you?" Her hair was messy and her clothes were not buttoned neatly. She had obviously fallen asleep and crawled out of the quilt. But the strange thing is that Xiao Junlin didn't even call her, but she came to him on her own, as if she had an antenna installed on her head.
Lin Dan stared at Xiao Qiu without saying a word.
Xiao Junlin was a little sleepy, his voice was a little hoarse: "Tell her if you need anything and let her help you."
Lin Dan then made the request. Xiao Qiu agreed to all the requests. He first brought two large buckets of water, and then knocked on the doors of each room, asking everyone if they had any primary crystal cores. Because of her sweet looks and straightforward personality, she is very popular in the team and no one gets angry with her. But everyone had already advanced to level two or three, so where were the primary crystal cores left? After asking everyone, only a few dozen were found.
Liu Ye and Nie Ting were interrupted by Xiao Qiu while they were making love. When he opened the door, there was black air coming out of his head and his face was as ugly as it could be.
"Why are you looking for a primary crystal core in the middle of the night?" Liu Ye asked patiently.
"I'm looking for it for Lin Dan." Xiao Qiu looked aggrieved.
"You'll give her the crystal core if she wants it? Why doesn't she go kill the zombies herself?" As soon as Liu Ye heard Lin Dan's name, her temper exploded instantly.
"But the doctor asked me to help her find it. Sister Liuye, you go ask the doctor. I am only responsible for meeting his requirements." Xiao Qiu pointed to Xiao Junlin's room.
Liu Ye almost crushed the door handle, but had to hold herself back. Xiao Junlin is still very prestigious now, and there is no benefit in going against him. She gritted her teeth and rummaged through her backpack, finally pouring out a few primary crystal cores from the interlayer and sending Xiao Qiu away.
Lin Dan got what he wanted, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Although Xiao Junlin had many quirks, they were not at all unbearable to her. She seemed to be used to taking care of people. Even though Xiao Junlin had a broken leg and couldn't do anything, she was confident that she could take care of him meticulously. At the same time, she could get his protection and compensation at the same time, so why not? To her, Xiao Junlin was much easier to get along with than the other members of the Nirvana team.
