The car was still driving steadily. Xiao Qiu was like a robot, whose only function was to drive. He didn't care at all about what Lin Dan was doing.
Lin Dan collected the blood in a thermos in case it was useful in the future, and then asked, "Doctor, water-based mutants can control liquids, why didn't anyone stop Liao Zhitao's bleeding last night?" She originally thought that Liao Zhitao would not die, but the result was beyond her expectations.
Xiao Junlin chuckled and said, "Because they can only control the liquids that they have marked."
"What's the meaning?"
"I've told you that superpowers consist of two parts: elemental power and mental power. Elemental power is the carrier, and mental power is the mark. The two cannot exist alone and must rely on each other. To use a popular analogy, getting a bank card is useless because you must also master the password to withdraw the money from it. The same is true for superpowers. The natural elements summoned by superpower users are full of their mental power, which is the mark. Only through these marks can they accurately control the power of the elements and then form various moves and skills. The elements that already exist in nature are not contaminated by their mental power, so they cannot be controlled, just like a bank card picked up on the road. Without the password, you can only look at it but cannot use it."
Xiao Junlin stared at Lin Dan intently, his eyes flickering: "And you are different from everyone else. Your mental power is so strong that you can control the water element without a mark. Maybe in a few years, other psychics will be able to realize this, but they can't do it now."
Lin Dan's heart moved slightly, and he asked further: "Doctor, are you saying that I can use my own bank card or an ownerless bank card, or even snatch someone else's bank card and change the password to my own?"
Xiao Junlin chuckled twice and nodded, "That's right."
Lin Dan stared at him and continued, "Doctor, the end of the world has just begun, why do you know so much?"
Xiao Junlin said casually: "Before humans invented space probes, Einstein was able to restore part of the universe through conjecture. What did he rely on?"
Feeling that his IQ was being ruthlessly crushed, Lin Dan could only shut his mouth and secretly ponder the "bank card theory" proposed by the doctor. Sure enough, by staying with the Doctor, she can learn a lot of knowledge. So why does Liu Ye think that the Doctor is incompetent? What kind of misunderstanding does she have about the Doctor?
Lin Dan did not dwell on this issue and soon immersed himself in the cultivation of his supernatural powers. She took out a bag of primary crystal cores and absorbed them one by one, almost without stopping. Xiao Junlin silently felt her spiritual power as clear as water, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile was neither cold nor sarcastic, but truly expressed his comfort and pleasure, which he himself did not notice.
As evening approached, the convoy slowly stopped at a gas station.
Lin Dan collected the few remaining crystal cores and jumped out of the car. The robot-like Xiao Qiu seemed to be full of energy in an instant. He leaned on the car window and talked to everyone with a smile, and then asked people to carry the unconscious Yang Jin away.
"What's wrong with him?" Liu Ye stared at Yang Jin's extremely pale face and asked worriedly.
"I don't know either. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the car and didn't wake up during the journey." Xiao Qiu shook his head with an innocent expression.
Liu Ye naturally would not doubt her. She checked Yang Jin's breath, confirmed that he was not dead, and then left. An hour later, Yang Jin woke up to the rich aroma of food. Hearing the noise around him, he immediately asked for help, but Lin Dan stuffed a bottle of water into his mouth. He swallowed a few times subconsciously. The water was still cold in his mouth, but became extremely hot once it entered his throat, almost burning his neck and stomach.
“Ahhhhh…”
The shrill howling interrupted everyone who was enjoying their dinner. Liu Ye immediately walked over and asked, "What did you do to him?"
Lin Dan lowered his head and whispered, "I gave him a few sips of water."
"She, she poured boiling water over me!" Yang Jin said this with difficulty. His throat became completely stuck and he could only make broken sounds.
Lin Dan hadn't started cooking yet. In front of her were only a few packets of biscuits, a few bags of instant noodles and a freshly opened bottle of mineral water. Xiao Qiu picked up the bottle and asked in confusion, "Where did the boiling water come from? It's obviously cold. There's no fire here. I was just about to go and borrow an alcohol stove from someone else."
The water in the bottle was cold, and Liu Ye could see that, but she still pinched Yang Jin's jaw and forced him to open his mouth. But his mouth was intact. What was scalded by the boiling water were his throat and intestines deeper inside, which could not be examined clearly without specific medical equipment.
Liu Ye observed repeatedly for a long time but found nothing unusual. She was also annoyed by Yang Jin's painful groans, so she had to give up.
The others thought that Yang Jin was deliberately picking on Lin Dan and did not take it seriously. Only Yang Jin himself knows how serious his injuries are now. He had lost a large amount of blood and was experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, night sweats, and cold hands and feet. His throat was sticky and his stomach was burned, so he was unable to eat. If he continues like this, he will die at Lin Dan's hands sooner or later.
Lin Dan was no pushover at all; he was simply a steel ball covered in thorns, and any slight touch would pierce him all over. He was really scared and wanted Liu Ye to find someone else to take care of him, but he couldn't even say a word. Not until now did he understand what it meant to have no one to turn to and no way out of life and death.
He couldn't stand up, so he couldn't run away. He could only reach out his hand and keep groping around, trying to pull someone to save him. He screamed and looked like a beggar.
Lin Dan looked at him quietly for a while, then used his mental power to completely drain the liquid from his eyeballs. He immediately jumped up in pain, and used up his last bit of strength to send out several wind blades, launching indiscriminate attacks on the people around him. The person he really wanted to kill was Lin Dan, but Lin Dan had already hidden in the corner.
The wind blades cut the unsuspecting people, overturned the stove, knocked over the plates, and ruined the food. The hall was suddenly in a mess.
"Damn it, Yang Jin, are you crazy? Not only are you blind, but you also want to drag others down with you?" Several hot-tempered psychics began to fight back.
Lin Dan withdrew his mental power at the right time. He thought that Yang Jin would become weak and then be killed by others, but he did not expect that he would be assisted by God. The condensed wind blades quickly rotated to form a strong and huge wind dragon, wreaking havoc in the hall. Excessive use of his supernatural powers gave him a splitting headache. He wanted to stop, but his body simply did not obey him. In the end, his supernatural powers were exhausted and his vitality began to burn again.
Looking at his bloodshot eyes and bulging veins, Liu Ye felt a chill in her heart. Others didn't know what Yang Jin's current situation was, but she understood that he was about to self-destruct. If left alone, everyone in the hall would be blown to pieces.
Self-destruction is the most powerful and decisive killer move of a psychic. People nowadays are too weak and have not developed this skill at all. How did Yang Jin realize it? Is he really crazy?
Liu Ye didn't dare to think any further. She condensed a bolt of lightning in her hand and struck Yang Jin hard on the head. With a loud bang, Yang Jin lay down with his body charred. His wind dragon chopped several tables into pieces before crashing into the wall and finally dissipating. The wall was deeply sunken and cracked, and broken bricks kept falling down, making a dull sound. The hall was dilapidated and ramshackle, and it was obviously not habitable.
Liu Ye quickly transferred the team members to the small supermarket next door, moved the shelves to the corner, and began to check everyone's injuries. Many people were cut all over by the wind blades, with blood spilling all over the ground. Others had their limbs broken and lost the ability to move. It was just a momentary act of kindness that allowed Yang Jin to stay, but it led to such serious consequences, which Liu Ye had never expected.
He was fine when we set out in the morning, why did he suddenly go crazy just a few hours later? Furthermore, why did he, a third-level psychic, learn the "self-destruction" skill that only fifth-level psychics can master? Liu Ye's head was filled with mysteries, but when she caught a glimpse of everyone's dissatisfied expressions, her heart turned cold and she couldn't think of anything.
When we treat these people well, they don't know how to be grateful. If we make a wrong decision and implicate them, resentment will secretly grow. This is human nature! Willow Leaf lowered her head, grinned, and laughed at herself.
Nie Ting patted her shoulder, comforted her silently, and then organized everyone to bandage each other's wounds. After this incident, the Nirvana team was severely damaged and will definitely not be able to set off on time tomorrow. Yang Jin was also carried into the small supermarket by two team members. He was lying alone in the corner, his chest heaving, but he was not dead yet.
"Boss, what should we do now?" a team member asked in a deep voice.
"Take him out and bury him." Nie Ting has always been cruel and would never leave a time bomb behind.
"I'll go bury them. Everyone is injured and has blood on their bodies, which will be smelled by the zombies." Xiao Qiu stepped forward at the right time. She was lucky and was not hurt by the wind dragon.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qiu." In order to protect the team members, Nie Ting also cut his arm, making it inconvenient for him to go outdoors.
Xiao Qiu waved at Lin Dan: "Come and help me, I can't lift him by myself."
Lin Dan took a deep look at Dr. Xiao, making sure that he was not injured, before running over. The two men, one carrying the head and the other carrying the feet, took great effort to get Yang Jin to the woods beside the highway and dug a hole. After throwing Yang Jin into the pit, Xiao Qiu was about to fill it with soil when Lin Dan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Xiao Qiu stopped silently, as quiet as a puppet.
Lin Dan stared straight at Yang Jin's head, and a cold light gradually gathered in her eyes. After about twenty minutes, Yang Jin's head suddenly exploded like a balloon punctured by a needle. Scalding hot steam continued to come out of the broken skull, but most of his brain had disappeared.
"Fill the soil." Lin Dan took out a few crystal cores and absorbed them. After that, he ran into the woods and picked a lot of strange herbs. He used his mental power to extract the juice, mixed it into potion in a certain proportion, and put it into the bottle for use. She was a water-based mutant, so it was very convenient for her to mix the herbs. She completely omitted the preparation and boiling procedures, and in just half an hour she was able to make seven or eight potions of different colors, but no one knew what they were used for.
Xiao Qiu buried the body quickly without asking about Lin Dan's actions.
