Nie Ting didn't bother to check the movements of the zombie army, and hurried away holding Lin Dan. Luo Yuheng walked to the city wall and looked down, and indeed found that the zombie tide in the distance was retreating, while the zombies nearby were swallowed up by the insect tide and alien plants, and could not retreat even if they wanted to.
"It's really dispersing. What's going on?" Luo Yuyan was surprised and confused.
"It should be the Zombie King that left." Luo Yuheng guessed.
"Yes, once the Zombie King leaves, the remaining zombies will become a mess and will not be able to organize an effective attack. It's a pity that we don't know what the Zombie King looks like or where he is hiding, otherwise we can use decapitation tactics." Yang Huatong sighed.
"Come on, even if we find the Zombie King, is there anyone with special powers in our base who can defeat him?" Luo Yuheng said mercilessly.
"Ahem, now is not the time to discuss this. I see that Lin Dan looks very bad. You should go back and see her. Let her have a good rest. Don't rush back. Overdrawing your superpowers can be fatal." Yang Huatong reminded carefully. After this battle, he has thoroughly understood Lin Dan's strength. Although she did not shoot water dragons or water arrows like other water-based ability users, she was constantly extracting plant juice to refine potions, which she then made evaporate, vaporize, and explode.
This operation seems simple, but it is actually extremely sophisticated. Apart from her, no other water-based mutant can do it. During the break, Yang Huatong once heard Luo Yuheng say that Lin Dan could even snatch the water from other water-based ability users and use it for himself. This shows how powerful her abilities are. That’s not all. She also has extensive knowledge of botany and entomology, and the potions she creates are as powerful as those of an atomic bomb. Other people with special abilities compete with each other on strength, but she not only competes with strength, but also with intelligence. Who dares to confront her?
Base No. 1 is extremely lucky to be able to recruit two great men, Dr. Xiao and Lin Dan! Yang Huatong sighed as he sent a car to take Lin Dan and his group away. When they returned to the city wall, more zombies had dispersed. The battle would be over within two days.
It was as if a strong current of air was rushing through Lin Dan's mind, but he could not find an outlet. Her head was splitting in pain and her temples were throbbing as if they were about to explode. If it were someone else, they would have banged their heads against the wall in pain by now, but she gritted her teeth and did not let herself lose her mind.
She had a vague premonition that if she couldn't control this airflow today, her life would come to an end. After being sent home by Nie Ting, she couldn't even sit up and could only lie weakly on the bed. Her skin gradually turned red and hot, as if it was on fire and would spontaneously combust in the next second.
"How could this happen? Let's find a doctor to check on Sister Lin?" Luo Yuyan said anxiously.
"Let's go to the city wall to find Doctor Liao." Luo Yuheng ran away.
Nie Ting stood by the bed, watching Lin Dan struggling in pain without blinking. He thought she was very strong, but he didn't expect that she could be so fragile. If possible, he would bear all the pain for her. Seeing her fighting tirelessly to defend her compatriots and homeland, his heart had long been conquered by her.
"Lin Dan, hold on!" He held her hand, his voice hoarse.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Nie Ting thought that it was the Luo brothers and sisters who came back with the military doctor, so he opened the door without asking, but saw Xiao Junlin and Xiao Qiu standing outside.
"Dr. Xiao, Xiao Qiu, why are you here?"
"Pour the things on the bed." Xiao Junlin gave the order directly to Xiao Qiu without even looking at Nie Ting.
It was not until then that Nie Ting discovered that Xiao Qiu was carrying a huge sack on his back. After walking into the room, he dumped the contents of the sack on Lin Dan without saying a word. Nie Ting opened his mouth, wanting to stop the two people's inexplicable behavior, but suddenly he was speechless. A bright light blinded his eyes and disturbed his thoughts.
What Xiao Qiu carried in turned out to be a bag of primary crystal cores, which were densely packed and sparkling, and instantly buried Lin Dan. The redness on her hot skin faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her head, which had been dizzy from the fever, began to clear up. Feeling a cool current rushing into her body from every pore, driving away the burning waves and pain, she couldn't help but groan, then forced herself to open her eyes.
"Diamonds" sparkled before her eyes, and she began to absorb their energy instinctively at an incredible speed. It was with the replenishment of these primary crystal cores that she was able to accumulate a bit of spare strength and control the waves of energy running rampant in her head.
"Thank you, Doctor." Her voice was weak, but the corners of her mouth were raised high.
Xiao Junlin stood beside the bed and looked at her without saying a word. He found that the crystal cores accumulated on her body were disappearing one by one at an increasingly faster speed, so he glanced at Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu left the room, and after a while he came back carrying a huge sack.
Nie Ting followed him out to check the situation, and discovered that there were dozens of such sacks piled up in the hall on the first floor. If every sack was filled with crystal cores, then how many zombies did Xiao Qiu kill? Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, or even hundreds of thousands? Is this something humans can do? No, no, no, maybe these crystal cores were purchased by Dr. Xiao from outside. How could anyone kill so many zombies in one breath? Even a primary zombie wouldn't be able to do that, right?
Nie Ting was full of doubts, but he did not stop Xiao Qiu's strange behavior. Instead, he helped carry a few sacks upstairs.
It took less than ten minutes for Lin Dan to completely absorb the bag of crystal cores. Such speed surprised Nie Ting and made Xiao Junlin raise his eyebrows. Xiao Qiu continued to carry sacks and pour out crystal cores. When the seventh bag of crystal cores was completely absorbed, the blush on Lin Dan's face completely faded, revealing a hint of paleness. But she still didn't have the strength to stand up. She could only look at the doctor intently with her eyes filled with water, and then smiled softly: "Doctor, I owe you another life."
Xiao Junlin had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes deepened as he said word by word: "It's okay, I'll pay it back slowly in the future."
"I must pay it back." Lin Dan said with difficulty.
Xiao Junlin had nothing else to say. He stood by the bed, looked at Lin Dan for a while, and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and stuffed something wrapped in a handkerchief into Lin Dan's hand.
"What is this?" The suffocatingly strong smell of disinfectant coming from the handkerchief aroused Lin Dan's curiosity.
"Watch it when no one is around." Xiao Junlin simply said this and left, with Xiao Qiu following closely behind him.
Lin Dan, who had already lifted a corner of the handkerchief, immediately stuffed the thing under the pillow. Nie Ting said at the right time: "You have a good rest. There are dozens of bags of crystal cores downstairs. I will carry them to the warehouse." Although the primary crystal cores are not valuable, he has realized from what happened just now that these crystal cores are very useful to Lin Dan, so he has to preserve them well.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lin Dan's voice was weak.
Nie Ting shook his head and left without asking any questions. Lin Dan is not Liu Ye and has no obligation to confess anything to him.
The room became quiet. Lin Dan couldn't even open his eyes, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and took out the things under the pillow. The doctor wrapped it very well, with seven or eight layers of handkerchiefs, and each layer was sprinkled with disinfectant. Lin Dan patiently peeled off each layer, and then his breathing stopped for a moment.
I saw a transparent crystal core as big as an egg lying on the white handkerchief. The diamond-shaped cut surface absorbed light from different directions and refracted them one by one, forming colorful rays of light. It is dazzling and beautiful like a dream, and it is a treasure that all women will be crazy about.
It looked like a diamond, but the surging energy it radiated made Lin Dan realize that this was a crystal core from the Spiritual Zombie King! And where is the zombie king closest to her?
Thinking of this, Lin Dan suddenly half sat up and shouted loudly: "Nie Ting, has the zombie tide receded?"
Nie Ting's voice came from downstairs: "When we went home, the zombie tide was slowly receding. Wait a minute, I'll use the intercom to ask Luo Yuheng." After a few minutes, he raised his voice and said, "Lin Dan, Luo Yuheng said that the zombie tide has really receded. Don't worry and have a good rest."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Dan slowly lay back on the bed, looking at the crystal core in his hand and shaking his head with a smile. No wonder the doctor wrapped it with seven or eight layers of handkerchiefs and sprinkled so much disinfectant, it turned out that this thing was dug out from the zombie's brain. If her guess was correct, the doctor should also be a psychic. He could easily absorb the crystal core, so why would he give it to herself?
Yes, he once said that his cultivation method was different from everyone else's, and he had long since broken away from the crystal core and embarked on another unrestrained path. This thing is very precious to others, but it is dispensable to him. Even so, it was a huge favor for him to give it to me. Lin Dan clenched the crystal core and let out a long sigh.
The receding tide of zombies outside the city is entirely thanks to the Doctor, right? He found the Zombie King and killed him, then asked Xiao Qiu to dig out the crystal core and wash it many times with water. But Xiao Qiu didn't know how to heat the water film, so the bacteria on the crystal nucleus could not be killed completely. The doctor could only wrap it with a handkerchief layer by layer, spray disinfectant layer by layer, and then take it back while suppressing his nausea. His mysophobia is so severe that asking him to run into a pile of zombies to fight would be tantamount to asking for his life.
Lin Dan imagined the scene of the doctor hunting the Zombie King in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he couldn't help but chuckle. When humanity is in danger, the Doctor cannot help but take action, but it turns out that he is not as indifferent as he seems, and I have misunderstood him.
Thinking of this, Lin Dan breathed a sigh of relief. Realizing that the energy radiated by the crystal core could help her restore her mental strength, she hid it in her pocket and fell asleep unknowingly. While others felt at ease because of her existence, she knew that as long as the Doctor was there, Base No. 1 would not be destroyed.
Two days passed and the last wave of zombies had retreated. Yang Huatong looked at the dense insects and mutated plants under the city wall and felt overwhelmed. Now that the zombies are gone, what should we do with these more deadly creatures? Well, let’s invite Boss Lin back.
