Feeling that her body temperature was a little off, Lin Tantan looked up at Bai Cheng. Seeing that he looked gentle and calm, as if nothing had happened, she felt a little strange.
It could be said that the increase in body temperature was caused by the awakening of superpowers, but he didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all, even his skin was still white. Could it be that his hands were too cold?
She couldn't help but put her other hand over and touched the back of Bai Cheng's hand. It was indeed hot.
Bai Cheng: “…”
Ye Xiao: “…”
Noticing that both of them were looking at him strangely, Lin Tantan also realized that his actions were a bit obscene, and hurriedly explained: "Well, I just felt that your hands were a little hot, do you have a fever?"
Before Bai Cheng could say anything, Ye Xiao shook Bai Cheng's hand, then placed the back of his hand against Bai Cheng's forehead and frowned slightly: "It's indeed very hot."
Normally, no one would take a fever seriously, but the situation is different now. Zombies have appeared, and everyone is very careful about their physical condition.
Bai Cheng happened to have a fever at this time.
Bai Cheng had been seriously injured and had undergone a major operation in the past, so his health was not as good as others. Originally, he was planning to switch to a civilian position after this mission was completed.
Ye Xiao pulled Bai Cheng aside with a serious expression, avoiding other people. "When did it start? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Bai Cheng smiled and said, "Maybe I caught a cold. I'm fine."
Ye Xiao didn't believe him. Bai Cheng was a very patient person. To avoid dragging down the team, he'd done many things, such as being shot without saying a word, or being exhausted without a care in the world. Although everyone on their team was like this, Bai Cheng was particularly perfect at this, and Ye Xiao sometimes fell for him.
He turned to look at Lin Tan Tan: "Tan Tan..." He remembered that she said her superpowers could cure diseases.
But what he met was a pair of big, bright eyes that could blind anyone. Those eyes were full of excitement and excitement. That face was smiling as if tears were about to burst out at the next moment. With her hands clasped in front of her chin, Ye Xiao felt that she was about to jump up and down three times in a minute.
Ye Xiao: “…”
So why laugh so horribly?
Lin Tan Tan: Ahhhhhhhh!!! He touched his forehead! Right in front of her! That worried gesture, that anxious tone, it's even sweeter than what's written in novels! Oh my god, my girlish heart! I can't take it anymore!
She screamed her soul, but when she saw Ye Xiao's eyes, she calmed down in an instant, walked over with a serious face, circled around Bai Cheng, and said to Ye Xiao: "I guess, I guess, it should be awakening superpowers."
Bai Cheng's supernatural powers did appear shortly after Mei Bai's death.
Ye Xiao was slightly startled, and didn't bother to think about her strange expression. Bai Cheng's eyes also lit up: "Ms. Lin, are you sure?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but when I awakened my superpowers, my body temperature also rose, and then my head swelled, my whole body felt weak, and I felt uncomfortable everywhere." Lin Tan Tan asked Ye Xiao, "You should have had this experience too."
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment: "I don't have this kind of experience."
Bai Cheng explained with a smile: "We were in a critical situation at the time, and Ah Xiao suddenly gained super powers."
"That's great. Let me tell you, awakening superpowers is not easy. It feels like I've been through the gates of hell." Lin Tantan thought of Lin Tantan who died at the awakening stage.
"What?" Mei Bosheng suddenly came over. "What are you talking about? Who's going to awaken that superpower?"
He looked left and right, then hooked his arm around Bai Cheng's shoulders and said, "Old Bai, you're really good. How come you have superpowers? What did you do? What did you eat? How do you feel now? What are your abilities?"
His voice was a little high, and everyone looked over with curious and envious eyes. Zhong Xiong, Xu Li, and a man with a somewhat feminine appearance and a slightly thin figure immediately surrounded him and looked at Bai Cheng for a long time. However, the strange man looked at Lin Tan Tan a few more times.
Lin Tan Tan: "?" Which one of the team members is this? Why is there a hint of amusement in his eyes?
Ye Xiao coughed and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
Then they called the people they brought back upstairs and asked them to find rooms to stay in by themselves. There were only two things they had to do: first, do not open the rooms where zombies were still locked up, and second, do not allow fights or injuries to occur.
"Then what should we do in the future?" Seeing that Ye Xiao seemed to only intend to place them here and no longer take care of them, everyone became a little anxious.
Ye Xiao said, "I've told you before that we will be responsible for the safety of this building and will defend it until the army arrives. As for food, you all brought some with you, so it shouldn't be a problem to hold out for a while. When we have time, we will clean up the surrounding area. If you need daily necessities and food, you can join us or go out and collect them on your own."
Ye Xiao brought these people here because he saw that they could not survive in their original place, but he did not intend to keep them as dependents. In short, he provided a relatively safe environment. The rest depends on personal ability. When the army arrives, he will no longer be responsible for the safety of these people.
After hearing what he said, some people felt disappointed while others were excited. Huang Jianquan was particularly understanding and immediately said, "Captain Ye, I am willing to work with you. If you need my help, just call me."
Ye Xiao nodded, then looked at the five graduate students.
The five of them were a little nervous, especially the fire and water psychics. They looked at each other, feeling a mixture of pride and excitement. They had superpowers, unlike ordinary people. The other party should let them join their team. Should they agree?
Others who know that they have super powers are very envious and a little resentful. People with super powers will definitely be valued and the treatment will definitely be completely different.
Ye Xiao walked towards the five people, but did not look at the two psychics in particular. Instead, he said, "You are students from the University City area of Peking University. I would like to learn more about the situation there."
Fire-related female graduate student: "..."
Male graduate student from the Water Department: "..."
Isn't this different from what they imagined?
…
Meanwhile, Lin Tantan had been dazedly led to the large office they were staying in. Bai Cheng wanted to ask her about superpowers, and the others were naturally curious about what superpowers were.
So Lin Tantan could only perform to them the abilities he had demonstrated in front of Ye Xiao.
Mei Bosheng said enviously, "We don't have any superpowers, but you have two at once. You're always better off compared to others!" He then asked, "What do you think of Walter White's superpower?"
Spatial power.
But Lin Tantan couldn't say anything now, so he told Bai Cheng that he'd better rest well, replenish nutrition and maintain his strength.
She also said this to a stranger yesterday, because it is really crucial.
For a psychic, there are two tests before becoming a true psychic. The second test is the use of the crystal core, and the first is the awakening stage.
The risk of awakening is still quite high. If you fail, you may die or turn into a zombie. Some of the zombies in the early days of the apocalypse were caused by failed awakenings. This is why sometimes in a group of people, suddenly one of them turns into a zombie, and then one bites another, and the whole group is wiped out.
This led to frequent accidents in some early survivor organizations, bases, safe zones, etc., but people were not fools and quickly figured out the reasons, and then immediately isolated anyone with an abnormal body temperature.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that awakening is a hurdle. If this process can be replenished with enough energy and there are people with special abilities to help guide it, the failure rate will be greatly reduced.
Lin Tantan knew how to guide, but she shouldn't understand it, so she didn't show it at this time. She knew that Bai Cheng would eventually successfully awaken his superpowers.
Several people immediately rushed to Bai Cheng to lie down, and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets to find something nutritious for him to eat, which made Bai Cheng laugh and cry.
Lin Tan Tan watched with some emotion. They had such a good relationship, but in the end, no one in such a close-knit team survived.
She silently surveyed the vibrant faces: Bai Cheng, Mei Baisheng, Xu Li, Zhong Xiong. The ordinary-looking one holding a laptop was Jiang Xiaotian, the tech expert. The pale, frail one, who seemed unsociable, was the prophet Cheng Qinan—hmm, why was he staring at her? And the more feminine one was Xu Qin, the master of the humanoid arsenal, who could craft lethal weapons for you even in the most dire of circumstances.
Hey, why is the boss holding her axe and studying it?
Xu Qin suddenly spoke up: "Can your golden superpower be used on this axe?"
Lin Tan Tan said, "Yes." Then she demonstrated it, attaching the gold power to the axe blade, and then the axe blade, which was originally sharp, became even sharper. Xu Qin took it, and the gold on the axe blade did not disappear immediately. He picked it up and gently scratched it on the sofa, just like scratching tofu, and an armrest fell off immediately.
Everyone: “…”
"Old Xu, you'll sleep on the sofa tonight!" Mei Bosheng shouted. The sofa wasn't long enough to begin with, and he'd even cut off a section! Then he pulled out his knife and said to Lin Tan Tan with a smile, "Miss Lin, no, Tan Tan, can you modify my knife as well?"
Zhong Xiong said thoughtfully, "If bullets use this ability, ordinary bullets can also have the effect of penetrating armor."
The shy Xu Li also came over with his sword in his arms: "Can my sword also be coated with such a layer? Even if the effect is only temporary." He wanted to experience the feeling of holding the magic sword and destroying everything in its path.
Xu Qin, a humanoid weapons arsenal and weapon modification expert, was thinking even more. He looked at Lin Tantan with shining eyes and said, "Ms. Lin, no, Tantan, I have an idea and wondered if you might be interested."
Lin Tan Tan shrank her neck. She was too naive. She took back her sympathy for these people. These people didn't need sympathy at all. They were all so fierce, okay?
So when Ye Xiao came back, he saw the little girl he brought back, forced into a corner of the sofa by his unruly comrades, her face frozen, while those guys were holding knives, swords, stroking pistols, and holding axes...
Ye Xiao's eyebrows twitched heavily: "What are you doing?!"
