After the medicine was injected, Lin Tantan felt a little better, but her current condition was indeed not very good.
The zombie energy in Mei Baisheng's body is extremely powerful. Mei Baisheng's body is originally the fertile soil for them to roam freely and grow. However, Lin Tantan's wood energy is like a team of ruthless foreign soldiers, suppressing and expelling them.
The organ tissues that were originally destroyed by them were repaired by the wood energy. If the parts were completely destroyed, the wood energy would stimulate the rapid growth of new cells. Mei Baisheng's body was full of vitality for a while. With the vitality, the zombie energy became a disadvantage, and the two were like a game.
So she has to continuously input a large amount of energy and cannot slack off for a moment.
This is hanging on for life.
As the night was about to end, Lin Tantan finally stabilized Mei Bosheng's condition completely. She drove all the zombie energy out of his brain and torso and into his limbs.
Mei Bosheng's face was originally gray and covered with rotten spots, but now the dead and rotten skin was gradually peeling off from his face, and new healthy skin was growing underneath.
The people who were resting on the second floor of the cafeteria were all amazed. Bai Cheng even carefully used tweezers to pick up some fallen dead skin from Mei Bosheng's face to examine it.
The night was more dangerous than the day, especially since they had run out of ammunition, so Ye Xiao asked them to stay in the cafeteria to rest, and they only had to take turns going out to help him.
When it was almost dawn, Ye Xiao also came back, bringing back the harvest of the second half of the night - hundreds of wood crystal cores.
Bai Cheng whispered, "It's a good harvest."
"It's okay. There are a lot of zombies at night." Ye Xiao was all wet. He had been busy all night and his body was inevitably covered with a lot of zombie slime. He just took a water pipe and put it on the faucet downstairs to wash himself clean. He changed into a set of clothes he found from somewhere else and then went upstairs.
He glanced at Lin Tantan, who still had his eyes closed, and then at Mei Bosheng, who was still asleep: "What's wrong?"
"Come and see." There was a piece of dead skin on Mei Baisheng's face, which looked scary, but when you peeled it off, there was new skin underneath, even pink. Some were pink and some were white, some were dark and some were light, it was simply amazing. In short, his complexion was very good, and the same was true for his neck and body. In contrast, the degree of corpseization of his limbs was more serious than at the beginning.
Those fingers and nails were just like those of a zombie.
In the middle of the night, Bai Cheng followed Lin Tantan's instructions and wrapped Mei Baisheng's palms with cloth to prevent him from moving suddenly and hurting himself or others.
"We have to take it one step at a time." Ye Xiao looked at the hand with a calm expression. Since they had handed the person over to Lin Tan Tan, they had to trust her.
Bai Cheng nodded: "I think so too."
Ye Xiao said: "There's no need for so many people here. You should go back first. I don't know what happened last night."
"There wasn't any disturbance, but there were too many people and a lot of disputes." Bai Cheng contacted the office building when he was free last night. None of the eight of them were there, so Old Man Xu was the one in charge. The old man was also a capable man when he was young. Now he is still strong and can manage the situation well, but he is old after all, and the survivors don't respect him very much.
With so many people gathered in one place, safety is also a problem. Although there are fewer zombies in the west of the city, there are still some. Many zombies appeared last night. The things he had people arrange around the office building yesterday were almost wiped out by the zombies. If he doesn't think of new ways, it will be dangerous tonight.
Besides, it’s time to deal with Cai Chengliang.
So when Ye Xiao said this, Bai Cheng also felt that some people should go back, but he said: "Why don't you go back and I'll stay here."
Ye Xiao rejected it without thinking. He had brought Lin Tantan and Mei Bosheng here yesterday. Now both of them were staying here, and the situation was like this. How could he let go?
Bai Cheng paused briefly, then left without saying anything more. He explained the details and timing of the rehydration to Lin Tan and left. He not only went back himself, but also brought the others with him. The zombies in the university town had been decimated by Ye Xiao last night, so they might as well go back and kill zombies in the west of the city, get the crystal cores, and send them back.
Ye Xiao was the only one left in the cafeteria. He gathered all the wood crystal cores together and put them in a basket. He had obtained seven or eight hundred of them by himself last night. Together with the ones from others, Lin Tantan had used them up until now, and there were still so many left, enough for her to use for most of the day.
He had no intention of going out again in the morning, so he took a wind crystal core and absorbed it.
Another crystal core was absorbed and shattered. Ye Xiao suddenly discovered that the debris in his hand was completely transparent, while the pile of debris next to Lin Tan's hand seemed to have many impurities and looked gray.
At this moment, his watch rang. It was the alarm. He turned off the alarm, hung up a bag of fat emulsion, and started giving Lin Tan an IV. He adjusted the drip rate, and suddenly he paused. Her hand...
Some tiny purple-red spots appeared on the back of Lin Tantan's hand and spread into her sleeves. Ye Xiao glanced at Lin Tantan, who seemed unaware, and gently held her wrist and pulled the sleeves up a little.
The purple-red spots on the fair skin became more dense, which looked very scary. Ye Xiao held his breath. The spots were not higher than the skin and did not fade when pressed. It was purpura!
Ye Xiao raised his head and saw some on Lin Tantan’s neck.
Lin Tantan suddenly opened her eyes at this time, and her gaze met Ye Xiao's. She was slightly stunned and looked at his hand holding in hers.
What's going on?
"You..." Ye Xiao paused, "What's going on?"
Lin Tan Tan looked where he pointed, unconcerned. "Oh, just some bleeding spots." Her voice was a little hoarse. "That's what happens when you absorb energy too quickly. It's okay."
Is this what you call "some"? Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Ye Xiao didn't know what to say. If it wasn't to save Mei Baisheng, she wouldn't have to work so hard. He saw that her eyes were bloodshot, but her eyes were still so indifferent. Apart from being a little tired, she didn't seem to think it was a big deal at all. It was as if something was blocking her heart.
Lin Tantan did feel okay. She decided to save Mei Baisheng. She knew it would be difficult. In fact, she thought she would bleed from all seven orifices after absorbing so much energy. Now, she was just bleeding a little.
It's a blessing that it doesn't have to be so ugly.
Of course, Ye Xiao's obvious concern and worry still made her very happy.
She said: "Things went more smoothly than I expected. Meimei is in good health, so I originally thought it would take several days, but now it seems that two days will be enough."
Ye Xiao was delighted when he heard her say, "Meimei's torso and vital organs have returned to normal. I have forced all the zombie energy into her limbs. The first course of treatment is complete, and the next step is the second course."
Ye Xiao asked: "What is the second course of treatment?"
The first course of treatment is to save lives, and the second course is naturally to guide out the destructive energy.
Lin Tan Tan asked, "Are they all gone?"
"There aren't many zombies here anymore. They've gone somewhere else. Someone will come over this afternoon to take over from me and watch over you. I'll go find another group of zombies."
Ye Xiao said this so nonchalantly. If someone else heard it, they might think they had misheard. Nowadays, everyone would hide when they saw a group of zombies, but only he dared to say something like "go find a group of zombies" so lightly.
Lin Tantan thought it was natural that her idol should be so awesome.
She said, "It doesn't matter if they're not here. Even if they were, I'd have to get rid of them." She smiled and said, "Next is the secret manual, you can't read it, so you can go too. I don't need anyone to guard my place."
Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Can you do it alone?"
Putting aside other things, what about the infusion?
Lin Tan Tan said that she was completely fine and that the infusion could be stopped for the time being. She could just throw the next crystal core up from the window. In short, she didn't want anyone around her for the next day.
Having said that, if Ye Xiao wanted to stay, it would be like stealing her skills, so he could only listen to her. However, he would not feel at ease with her and Mei Baisheng staying in the cafeteria, so he moved from the second floor to the first floor and continued to guard.
Seeing him leave, Lin Tan Tan raised his hand and tightened the straps tied to Mei Baisheng's limbs. The two straps on the neck and heart continued to supply energy, but the other four straps on Mei Baisheng's side began to turn gray, as if something gray was slowly crawling out of Mei Baisheng's body.
The thing crawled and crawled until it sank into Lin Tantan's hands. The skin on her fingers and palms slowly changed, as if it had been eroded by zombie energy.
Lin Tantan remained calm, her expression was very peaceful, her eyes were cool and serious, just like every time she treated a critically ill patient.
When she was extracting the gold energy from the patient she cured in her previous life, she had the help of a special energy extraction instrument, and the energy was channeled into blank energy stones.
But there are neither instruments nor energy stones here, and zombie energy is not gold energy.
After much thought, she felt that it would be most appropriate for her to make the container herself.
But she didn't want Ye Xiao to watch her.
He is a very responsible person. He feels very guilty about Mei Baisheng's death. Similarly, the sacrifice he made to save Mei Baisheng now also makes him feel uneasy.
She wouldn't let herself die anyway, so why should he worry about her? She even wanted to appear as relaxed as possible.
The green belt completely turned into a gray belt, like four connecting tubes, sucking the destructive energy in Mei Baisheng's body, while the absorbed energy was confined in Lin Tantan's palm.
They came to a new territory that was more to their liking and were about to expand their territory wantonly, but Lin Tantan's wood element was obviously stronger than them and forcibly blocked them here.
She consumed the crystal cores at a faster rate.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the person on the first floor was replaced. Ye Xiao had indeed gone out to find a group of unlucky zombies. A few hours later, he brought back a bunch of crystal cores and threw them into the second-floor window while standing downstairs.
Those people in Bai Cheng in the west of the city are also actively killing zombies and taking crystal cores.
The sky gradually darkened and then gradually brightened.
The second floor has always been quiet.
Finally, when the sunlight shone on Lin Tantan's face, she opened her eyes and cut off all the tapes. She looked at Mei Baisheng's hands. The rotten flesh had shrunk and fell off at the touch. The new skin underneath was pink, and the black and gray nails had fallen off, but the new nails had not grown yet, which looked a bit strange.
Also, affected by the zombie energy, some mutations have occurred in the joint tissues. For example, the fingers have become longer and somewhat twisted. These cannot be reversed in a short time, but they will recover over time.
He now has no zombie energy left in his body.
Lin Tan Tan let out a breath and collapsed to the side.
"I did it." She looked at the ceiling fan and murmured, "Ye Shen, I did it."
At this moment, she completely changed Mei Baisheng's fate, which made her believe that she could also change Ye Xiao's fate.
Lin Tantan's eyes were a little moist. She had fantasized countless times that she could do such a thing, and now her wish had come true.
She held up her entire discolored and deformed left hand, which was like this five or six centimeters above the wrist. It looked so scary, but Lin Tantan felt very happy and even admired it for a while.
Then she got up, and a thin golden sheet like a knife condensed on the fingertips of her right hand, and she cut it decisively just above the mutated part.
Blood gushed out immediately, and Lin Tantan couldn't help but groan. Sweat broke out on his head. For a moment, he almost lost consciousness due to the pain. It took him two seconds to mobilize his wood-type ability to stop the bleeding.
Now should be the time for an ice element, she thought shiveringly, to freeze her hands so that it won’t hurt.
Sweat slid into her eyes, and she was so stimulated that she couldn't help but shed tears. She blinked hard and looked at the severed hand that fell to the ground. There was originally a normal part of about one centimeter, but because it lost the supernatural power to suppress it, the zombie energy eroded that part in an instant, and it completely turned into a zombie hand. It was impossible to tell that this thing had once grown on Lin Tantan's body.
It was too ugly and it really damaged her image. Now Lin Tantan couldn't appreciate it anymore.
She was breathing heavily, and when the pain numbed her, she was ready to deal with this eye-catching severed hand. She had already thought about it: throw it into the kitchen stove over there, burn it to ashes, and then wipe the bloodstains on the ground, just as casually as possible.
Then when people ask, "Where's your hand?" she'll act like there's nothing to be fussing about and say, "No big deal, I was just a little hungry, so I ate it." Or she'll say, "I didn't like it, so I cut it off. I'll grow a better one next time."
Lin Tantan was amused by her own thoughts. Two days and two nights of treatment, coupled with the pain she was feeling now, made her a little dazed.
She rubbed her head with her right hand, which felt like it was about to explode, and thought, she was too impulsive. She should have gone to the kitchen to chop it again, so as not to let the blood flow all over the floor, which would be troublesome to clean up.
Just as he was about to get up and put his plan of destroying the body into practice, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Tan Tan, what's wrong with you?! Where's your hand?"
It was Mei Baisheng who woke up.
Lin Tan Tan looked at him speechlessly. Why did he have to wake up so early and scream so loudly? It seemed that the treatment was indeed successful. His tongue had become flexible so quickly.
Then she heard footsteps and knew that Ye Xiao was downstairs. She could no longer hide it. Lin Tantan looked at the ugly hand again and kicked it under a dining table.
Then he turned around, looked towards the stairs with an innocent look, and smiled.
