Xiao Junlin turned his head when he heard the noise and saw the exploded bottle. He spoke calmly, "The process from room temperature to high temperature vaporization and then detonation is too long and it is not good for you. If you can make the liquid reach the vaporization temperature in an instant and continue to expand the range and quantity, this skill can be considered to have taken shape. Remember, explosive power is what you lack most at the moment, but your brain must be able to withstand a momentary mental explosion, otherwise you will bleed from all seven orifices and die on the spot. You have to take it slowly and break through the limit again and again."
He was not at all surprised by what Lin Dan did. I don’t know why, but even though they’ve only known each other for a dozen days, they already have a deep understanding of each other. Lin Dan would not ask about his privacy, and similarly, he would not explore her heart unless necessary. He would only teach her a little when the time was right, then step aside and watch her grow in silence.
This seemed to be a little game of his, and he didn't take it too seriously, but Lin Dan benefited a lot from it. Even a casual word from him could bring her great inspiration.
"Explosive power?" Lin Dan chewed on these three words carefully, his expression very serious.
Several zombies attracted by the loud noise circled around the trash can for a few times and then walked towards their vehicle. Fortunately, the Nirvana team's cars have been modified and have a high safety factor, especially Nie Ting's car. The steel plates have all been thickened and the glass has been replaced with bulletproof ones. As long as the doors and windows are closed, it can be guaranteed to be safe.
Lin Dan immediately wiped the blood from the tip of his nose to prevent the bloody smell from leaking out and driving the zombies crazy. Xiao Junlin, however, looked into the distance nonchalantly, as if the zombies did not exist. The rotting and smelly corpse was undoubtedly the thing he hated the most, nothing else.
The two sat quietly in the car, neither of them spoke. After a while, Lin Dan's gaze turned from the ice in the cup to the zombies outside the window, and finally stopped on their heads. She thought that the brain is 75% water, and the skull is an enclosed space with a certain pressure. What would happen if the water in the brain suddenly reached a high temperature that would vaporize it, like the drink in a plastic bottle?
She closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile.
Xiao Junlin suddenly turned his head and looked at her with a slightly interested expression.
The two continued to sit quietly, neither paying attention to the other, but the atmosphere was harmonious. Lin Dan's eyes were fixed on the heads of several zombies with an unpredictable expression. An hour later, Liu Ye returned with his team members. Each of them was carrying a large backpack and looked like they had gained a lot. They dealt with the zombies wandering outside the car, whistled, started the engine, and left the place at lightning speed.
"Captain Liu, we're making a fortune today!" Qian Yifan, Liu Ye's right-hand man, opened his backpack and started talking loudly. Realizing that Lin Dan and Xiao Junlin, two outsiders, were also in the car, his expression changed and he immediately zipped up his backpack.
Xiao Qiu's mountaineering bag weighed dozens of kilograms, and when he put it on the back seat, it made a dull "bang" sound. She giggled and agreed with a few words, and her every move seemed no different from that of an ordinary person.
Liu Ye glanced at Lin Dan and saw that she was sitting next to Dr. Xiao with her head down, showing no jealousy or annoyance, and she suddenly felt bored.
In the evening, the convoy stopped at a gas station. Everyone set up a stove and took out the food to cook. Three months is not a long time. Many foods in the supermarket have not passed their expiration date and are completely edible. The aroma of instant noodles, instant powder, frozen dumplings, and frozen meat wafts over the gas station, making people salivate.
Lin Dan did not participate in the activity of collecting supplies, so he got nothing. Liu Ye handed a bag of instant noodles and a piece of frozen chicken breast to Xiao Junlin and said, "Doctor, this is your food. Ask Lin Dan to heat it up for you." Now, the members of the Nirvana team have tacitly regarded Lin Dan as Dr. Xiao's nanny.
Xiao Qiu took out an unopened cushion from his backpack and said with a smile, "Doctor, you can sit on this. It's clean."
Everyone was sitting on the ground with their legs crossed, except Xiao Junlin, who was sitting upright on a cushioned chair, standing out from the crowd. But he didn't care about other people's looks at all, and just ordered as a matter of course: "One pack of noodles is not enough for two people, give me a few more packs, and two eggs and two sausages."
Liu Ye certainly knew who he was asking for the food for, and wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Nie Ting. As long as Lin Dan can take good care of the doctor, there is no loss in raising her for nothing. Thinking of this, Nie Ting gave half of his food away.
Lin Dan took it immediately without even saying thank you, and her matter-of-fact attitude was very much like Xiao Junlin. Liu Ye was almost pissed off to death by this "shameless duo". If Nie Ting hadn't pulled her to a corner, kissed and hugged her to comfort her for a long time, she would have probably exploded on the spot.
There were a lot of people in the hall, and it was inconvenient for Lin Dan to use his mental power to heat the water, so he had to use the alcohol stove. She blanched the finely chopped chicken breast in boiling water for a while, poured it out and drained it, then added cooking wine, light soy sauce and dehydrated vegetables and stir-fried it together. It surprisingly tasted very good. Xiao Junlin sat beside her and watched her work intently. He found that she washed the vegetables cleanly and boiled the knives and tableware in boiling water. Only then did he show a satisfied expression.
Lin Dan sprinkled the browned chicken sauce on the instant noodles, and dinner was ready. The strong aroma made the people around him salivate and their stomachs rumble. The two psychics who committed the violence last night would occasionally glance at them with cold eyes, then gather together to whisper and laugh obscenely. It was obvious that the person they were talking about was Lin Dan, and it was not a good thing. The people around them clearly heard their plan, but they turned a blind eye and watched coldly. Lin Dan has no strength and is a burden if she's still alive. It would be easier if she died. Who would care about her?
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been trembling with fear and lost his appetite by now, but Lin Dan held the bowl and ate noodles seriously without any expression on his face. Xiao Junlin sat next to her, his movements equally graceful.
People with special abilities have huge appetites, and it is common to see them eating two or even three packs of noodles in one meal. The two psychics who had bullied Lin Dan didn't feel full after the meal, so they took out two bottles of eight-treasure porridge from their backpacks and heated them directly on the stove. Lin Dan glanced at them casually, then lowered his head to drink the noodle soup, with no expression on his face the whole time. Xiao Junlin also looked in the same direction, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After a few minutes, a muffled sound suddenly came from the hall, followed by two screams. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that the two psychics that Liu Ye relied on had fallen down, one covering his eyes and the other covering his neck. They were the two who had bullied Lin Dan last night.
"What happened?" Liu Ye immediately ran over to check the situation.
A team member sitting near the two men said quickly: "The bottle of eight-treasure porridge suddenly exploded, and the iron piece of the seal flew out and cut Liao Zhitao's neck. Yang Jin's eyes must have been burned by the splashed eight-treasure porridge, so we need to rinse them with water quickly."
Liu Ye was very angry and scolded, "Eight Treasure Porridge cannot be placed directly on the fire. The bottle is sealed, and the porridge inside will explode when it boils. Don't you know this common sense? Xiao Qiu, come and help check their wounds!"
Xiao Qiu ran over quickly, pulled away Yang Jin's hand that was covering his face, and shook her head, "Sister Liu Ye, his eyeballs are burnt, and cold water is useless. I have no choice!"
"It's scalded. How could that happen?" Liu Ye was shocked. After a closer look, she found that the man's eyeballs were actually burned to a slightly white color. He was really completely ruined.
Yang Jin was screaming in pain and didn't hear what Xiao Qiu said at all, but the others all showed expressions of pity. Who could have thought that just having a meal could lead to such a devastating disaster? If it were before the apocalypse, as long as one's spirit was not broken, one could still survive even if one was blind. But now it’s different. The outside world has been occupied by zombies. It’s difficult for everyone to protect themselves. Who would be willing to support a blind person? They are neither Yang Jin's parents nor his children, so they have no obligation to take care of him.
"Sister Liuye, what should we do now?" Xiao Qiu asked, looking up.
"Let's rinse his eyeballs first." Liu Ye was very upset and called another team member over to bandage Liao Zhitao's wound. Relatively speaking, Liao Zhitao was very lucky. The iron piece only grazed his neck and cut some flesh, which was not a fatal injury.
A female team member quickly ran over and wrapped a cloth strip around Liao Zhitao's neck. But five minutes later, she said anxiously: "Captain Liu, the situation is not good! Liao Zhitao's wound is obviously not deep, but the bleeding just won't stop. Do you have any hemostatic drugs? Take them out quickly!" In just a short while, the cloth strip was completely soaked with blood, and more blood gushed out of the wound, flowing all over the floor.
Liu Ye's voice suddenly rose: "All earth-type mutants, come here and bury this blood with soil! Hurry, don't let the smell spread! Whoever has hemostatic medicine, send it here quickly!" On a night when zombies are very active, heavy bleeding is undoubtedly fatal.
The two earth-type ability users quickly used mud to cover the blood, but Liao Zhitao continued to bleed, so it was obviously useless.
Liu Ye walked around the hall several times, asking everyone if they had any medicine, if they were doctors, and if they could save Liao Zhitao, but no one responded. Lin Dan lowered his head, his eyes flickering slightly. At this moment, dozens of ways to stop the bleeding suddenly popped up in her mind, but why should she stand up?
"Sister Liuye, if the bleeding can't be stopped, we must think of other ways, otherwise everyone will be in danger." Xiao Qiu reminded in a hoarse voice, then turned her head away to wipe her tears, as if she couldn't bear it, but her words made everyone look terrified. Yes, the strong smell of blood will attract nearby zombies, and there are only thirty or so of them, so they can't escape at all! Liao Zhitao's carotid artery has been cut and the bleeding cannot be stopped. It is impossible to save him. Why should others be buried with him?
But in this case, everyone can only think about it in their hearts and it is difficult to say it out loud. After all, they are teammates fighting side by side.
After all, Nie Ting was the more ruthless one. Seeing Liao Zhitao bleeding again, he decided, "Take him out and burn him. Bury him in the ground and don't make any flames."
"Boss, we know what to do." An earth-type mutant and a fire-type mutant stepped forward and carried Liao Zhitao out. The rest of the people quickly cleaned up the blood.
Xiao Qiu blocked Yang Jin's mouth with a smelly rag and said obediently, "Sister Liu Ye, if he keeps yelling, it will attract zombies. I blocked his mouth."
"Well done, everyone can go now." Liu Ye rubbed his eyebrows, feeling extremely tired. I never expected that these two people did not die at the hands of zombies, but instead died from a bottle of eight-treasure porridge. Isn't this too ridiculous? Is it their fate to die early, and is it impossible to escape it no matter what?
Thinking of this, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body. She didn't notice at all that Lin Dan, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly raised his head and revealed a cold smile.
Xiao Junlin leaned lazily in the chair, one hand on his chin and the other tapping the table, his expression looking very interested. To others, the scene just now was undoubtedly a tragedy, but to him it was a wonderful drama. Lin Dan seemed more interesting than he expected.
