Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 210 Eye-opening
Although the scar has healed and no longer hurts, Old Master Huo still feels heartache and distress every time he sees it.

The little girl he cherished and raised with care was implicated by him and had her face slashed with a knife.

Not only was she disfigured, but Huo Siyun also had many injuries on her arms and thighs. During those days when he was threatened, they would always draw blood whenever they brought their granddaughter out.

His little girl gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.

It's hateful that he has such excellent medical skills, yet he's powerless to even kill a chicken. He can neither protect his granddaughter nor is he willing to compromise.

Fortunately, Jiang Minglang and his group arrived in time; otherwise, with no other options, he might have really given in.

Bai Li didn't know that Huo Siyun also had injuries, but she planned to have Tie Dan try the scar on Huo Siyun's face as well.

Therefore, the current show of deference between the grandfather and grandson is really unnecessary.

However, she also understood that both grandmother and grandson hoped the other would recover first, so that each day would mean one less day of pain and torment.

"Mr. Huo, you should go first. We started yesterday, and we'll do it again today to see if we can heal all your injuries."

This wasn't entirely meant to comfort Old Master Huo; Bai Li genuinely wasn't sure how far Tie Dan's healing abilities could go, after all, this was the first time she had treated an injury that had been delayed for some time.

However, Old Huo was more confident than her. He was the patient, and during the treatment last night, no one's intuition was more accurate than his.

Sure enough, Tie Dan only took a picture of him for about five minutes before Old Huo shouted "Stop!" Then he lifted his right foot, rotated his ankle, stood up and stomped his feet, and finally looked at Bai Li and Jiang Minglang with a big smile, "All done!"

Bai Li bent down and picked up Tie Dan, praising him generously, "Our Tie Dan is really amazing. Eat something and rest for a while, then treat this lady, okay?"

"Wang!"

Tie Dan raised its curly head with its single horn, barked happily, and its little tail swayed from side to side.

"Sister Bai, I prepared some food for Tiedan. It was sent by Grandpa Ouyang yesterday."

Huo Siyun opened the prepared can of meat, took out a small plastic bowl, poured the whole thing into it, and placed it on the coffee table in front of them, sincerely thanking Tiedan.

"Thank you, Tiedan."

"Wang!"

While Tie Dan was eating his canned food, Huo Siyun looked at Bai Li and Jiang Minglang and asked earnestly, "Sister Bai, Captain Jiang, I want to ask you something. I heard that you have training sessions every morning, and I'd like to participate too. Is that okay?"

Why not?

Jiang Minglang hopes that everyone living here will become self-reliant and strong, not only those with superpowers, but also ordinary people.

However, Huo Siyun is not an ordinary person; she has a special ability—water-based.

However, her special ability wasn't something she had from the beginning of the apocalypse. It started on the day she and her grandfather were captured by those people, when her fingers suddenly started oozing water.

Before they could even feel any joy, the grandmother and grandson were suddenly knocked unconscious, dragged into a car, and taken away.

Because he sensed something, Old Master Huo instructed her not to show any special abilities and to act as an ordinary person.

The next morning, when Huo Siyun went to Baiguoyuan to train with Jiang's men, she was deeply discouraged.

Last night, after her treatment ended and she saw Sister Bai and Captain Jiang off, she was still thankful to her grandfather for having superpowers. After all, besides their abilities, superpowered individuals also have better physical abilities than ordinary people. Otherwise, wouldn't a complete novice like her have to receive special treatment?

Looking back now
In front of these people, she might be no different from an ordinary person without superpowers, no, even less than an ordinary person in Yunxi Village.

She's not even as good as a child.

Sister Bai and Captain Jiang's son, a ten-year-old child, is also a water-type, and he was able to freeze the water she released in an instant.

Furthermore, the child was actually releasing water and throwing out ice, one ice pellet after another – it was terrifying.

I originally thought my superpower was just an auxiliary ability, enough to get water for drinking, bathing, and washing clothes, but nothing else.

It's not very useful compared to offensive superpowers.

But now, if anyone tells her that water-type attacks are only supportive and not offensive, she'll definitely have Qiqi throw ice balls at them so they can experience for themselves whether water-type attacks are offensive or not.

From that day on, Huo Siyun was like a man possessed, and every morning after finishing her physical training, she would urinate vigorously.

Because her superpower is still in its early stages, she can't even release enough water, let alone turn it into ice.

Instructor Du created a training plan for her to turn water into ice, the first step of which was to increase the amount of water released by her superpower.

Even after this heavy snowfall, the fields still need to be irrigated with supernatural water at least three times before crops can be planted.

However, the temperature hasn't fully risen yet, and the soil in the fields is frozen solid, so we haven't started watering.

But now, in order to prevent Huo Siyun from wasting her energy, Du Qiyan simply designated an area for her, requiring her to water at least one acre a day. If she couldn't finish watering it all at once and her superpower was exhausted, she would have to wait until she had rested and her superpower had recovered before continuing to water.

In short, the entire acre of land must be irrigated within one day.

After more than half a month, the results were remarkable, and Huo Siyun's discharge volume increased dramatically.

Song Xiaoxiao asked Qiao Fei curiously, "Uncle Qiao, when I first learned how to turn water into ice from Uncle Du and Jiang Qi, why didn't they let me increase the amount of water released like Sister Huo did?"

"shush"

Qiao Fei quickly held up a finger to signal her to be quiet, then whispered to Song Xiaoxiao, "Your Uncle Du said that Huo Siyun's water is warmer than yours. Yours is ice-cold, but hers is lukewarm. Under these circumstances, it's almost impossible to make it ice-cold. But she's very persistent about making it ice-cold. Your Uncle Du doesn't want to discourage her, so he wants to see if the temperature will drop after adding enough water. Or maybe he can find another way to attack her by observing how much water she adds. Do you understand?"

"I'm eight years old now, not a little kid anymore, how could I not understand?"

The little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll, glared at Qiao Fei and said, "Uncle Qiao, if you keep acting like this, I won't help you anymore?"

"Help me?" Qiao Fei asked with an amused look. "What will you help me with?"

"I'll help you figure out how to win over my aunt and get her to marry you."

Qiao Fei:
Thank you so much, my little darling.

He asked, puzzled, "Why do you have this idea? Or did someone tell you?"

"Do I need anyone to tell me that? You're a lifelong bachelor, and you're letting such a beautiful woman like my aunt live in your house. What else could you be trying to do if not to get her to marry you?"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Every day when I get home, I ask my aunt what's for dinner, just like my dad asks my mom when he gets home from work. But my dad's better than you; he always asks my mom what she wants to eat, and then he cooks it. My dad's a really good cook; my aunt learned to cook from him."

As she spoke, she probably missed her parents, and her voice grew softer and softer until finally she lowered her head with slightly red eyes.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Fei forgot all about being called a "millennial bachelor" and quickly picked her up, coaxing her as he took her to the Bai family's house to see the birds.

As for the topic, which started with Huo Siyun letting the ball go, then veered off-topic to her dad's delicious cooking, who remembers that now?

With a mission imminent, Du Qiyan confirmed once again that Huo Siyun's water was still warm before telling her the truth. "It's probably because Tiedan treated you, or maybe you had too many injections when you were captured, causing changes in your body, so the water you released was warmer than mine and Qiqi's. It's very difficult to turn it into ice under these circumstances."

He had drunk the water that Huo Siyun had prepared, and apart from being slightly hot, it was indeed water with supernatural abilities.

As for why her temperature was higher than theirs, Du Qiyan was more inclined to believe it was due to Tie Dan's treatment.

The ugly, centipede-like scar on the girl's face is now just a faint mark, not very noticeable.

This is the result of Tie Dan treating her five times.

According to Bai Li's analysis, the reason she needed to be treated five times was probably because her injury was too severe. The skin and flesh on both sides of the scratch were turned outwards, and the wound grew somewhat deformed without being stitched up. There was even a piece of black flesh in the middle, which Old Huo said was caused by wound infection.

So when Huo Siyun was treated for the first time, Old Master Huo used a scalpel to cut off that piece of black flesh.

Fortunately, Jiang Minglang found some anesthesia when he was preparing the equipment, otherwise he would have fainted from the pain if he had been cut so hard.

After the iron balls were removed, the treatment was started immediately. The fresh wounds healed quickly, but the ones that weren't removed didn't change much.

This required cutting off the everted skin and flesh, and then having Tie Dan treat her again. This process was repeated until, after five treatments, her face was almost fully recovered.

The wounds on my body were treated several more times afterward.

In short, without affecting her training, Tie Dan treated her no less than ten times.

Du Qiyan had never been exposed to Tie Dan's white light, but he heard Xi Yu say that when the light shone on his body, it felt warm and cozy. After his wounds healed, his whole body felt very warm and comfortable for several days, making him want to sleep.

He only had one encounter and it was already like this, but Huo Siyun had more than ten encounters. It's hard to say that she wouldn't be affected.

As for the time she was arrested, Huo Siyun felt that the injections given to her to make her fall asleep in order to control her were unrelated to that.

Because those people treated her like an ordinary person, the injections they gave her were actually useless to her; she was just playing along and pretending to be asleep.

So after listening to Du's analysis, she thought the same as him: the high water temperature was probably because of the iron egg.

"What a pity." We can't throw it at anyone anymore.

She felt a little regretful, but not too disappointed. The girl quickly cheered up and said, "Then I'll continue watering the land. My water is warm enough to soften the frozen soil after watering. Didn't Sister Leng start telling people to turn the soil? Then I'll continue watering the other things."

I thought she would be disappointed and discouraged, but she convinced herself in less than a minute and started working with high spirits again.

Du Qiyan remarked to Old Master Huo, "You've raised this child very well."

Old Master Huo looked pleased. "This child has always been optimistic, ever since she was little. Besides, compared to her complete recovery, what is this little mutation?"

You can't turn water into ice, but you can control water.

Before she set off, Du Qiyan devised a new training plan for her, one part of which involved having her try to control the movement of water from one bucket to another.

The number of training sessions is unlimited, until you can move the water completely without spilling a single drop.

Qiqi first demonstrated it to her.

Two people were standing face to face when suddenly a wall of water appeared between them. At first, it was a thin layer, then it got thicker, and then it got even thicker.

Then Qiqi created a water ring around her, so that she was completely surrounded by water, but her body didn't get wet at all.

Huo Siyun was utterly astonished and her eyes were wide open.

A ten-year-old child really knows much more than her.

Compared to Qiqi, she's a piece of trash.

He is no longer the medical genius his grandfather used to talk about when he was a child.

If the apocalypse hadn't happened, she would probably be in medical school by now, a medical student.

Forget about so many "what ifs," let's just hurry up and start training according to the training schedule.

After arranging everything, two years and three months into the apocalypse, in late July when the temperature was still below -10 degrees Celsius, Jiang Minglang received a mission from Base Chief Ouyang. He led his team away from Pingjiang Bridge, planning to take the highway to Connecticut, under the pretext of clearing out the remaining zombies in Connecticut and Ningcheng, and finally detour to the east before heading north.

To outsiders, Jiang Minglang has always been in Shenzhen and has never left the city.

At this time, Bai Li was already three and a half months pregnant, but because she was slender and dressed in thick clothes, no one would have guessed that she was carrying a baby.

The two chicks are already a month old, but Bai Li still feeds them goat milk and millet porridge three times a day, three times a day. They are always eaten clean, with not a single crumb left.

She had already seen it clearly through the window; it was Bai Jun who ate it.

The two baby birds were eating the bird food that the phoenix had regurgitated.

Regardless of what they eat, the two chicks are growing rapidly, changing every day.

By the time of the full moon, their feathers had grown very dense, just like when they were born. One was pale yellow like a phoenix, and the other was pure white, like Bai Jun.

They really do resemble their father and mother.

As for superpowers, it's unclear at the moment.

However, Bai Jun has remained in the pet room for the past month and has not left even once.

Bai Li wasn't sure if it was the goat milk and millet porridge that left it, or Feng Bao and the two babies, or both.
After Jiang Minglang and the others left, Bai Li stood on the third-floor balcony and watched their car drive away from Pingjiang Bridge and onto the expressway in Pingcheng through binoculars.

She then turned her gaze to the desolate and dense forest across the Pingjiang River.

Yes, the forest.

The place, once filled with houses and amusement parks set up because of the zoo, has changed drastically after being deserted for more than two years.

First, a mountain appeared after the snow melted, followed by a large forest that multiplied due to the mutated trees.

Through the telescope, you can see pine and poplar trees, and a few sycamores, but there are many more unknown trees that have mutated and grown into strange shapes, changing their original appearance.

Aside from the change in appearance, it is unknown what other changes have occurred.

That was the tiger's territory, and because of an agreement they had made, they wouldn't invade or interfere with its territory. They also couldn't investigate the naturally mutated trees or anything like that.

Crack!

Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt flashed in the distance, striking something with a crisp crackling sound.

Is this something Gigi released?
good night!
