Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

Below the city wall, the remaining bodyguards of the Su family were cleaning up the corpses.

There are still more than a dozen people left, including the survivors and the injured.

Luo Zhong leaned against the wall, his shoulders wrapped in several layers of gauze, the blood seeping out and staining the white cloth dark red.

They were all working outside the city walls.

There was no one from the Su family inside the cave platform.

Zhou Kai transformed back into human form and squatted at the entrance of the cave. He felt quite guilty, not only because his wife was injured, but also because his sister-in-law's life was still uncertain.

Su Qingxue walked over to Lin Fan and sat down on the rock.

The two remained silent for a while.

"What's going on in the woods?" Su Qingxue asked.

Lin Fan answered truthfully, "We found that PhD's hideout."

Su Qingxue turned her head to look at him.

"The PhD's hideout is in the direction Yang Biao mentioned."

"When Yang Biao and I got to that location, there were signs of human activity on the ground, and there were surveillance cameras installed in the trees."

"When I dismantled the surveillance camera and was about to find the entrance with Yang Biao, a voice came from inside."

What was that sound?

"It was a man's voice, the same voice as the one after the tsunami."

Lin Fan paused for two seconds.

"He said he was the PhD we had been looking for."

Su Qingxue straightened her back; the mystery that had been shrouded in mystery for so long was finally about to be revealed.

He told me not to rush in and not to be curious about their identities.

Lin Fan glanced at Su Qingxue and said, "He said their boss has sent people over, and your target is you."

Su Qingxue's hand tightened. She wasn't surprised by this, because she had already experienced it.

"His exact words were, 'Your woman's belly is about to be cut open, and you still have the mind to waste time with me?'"

Su Qingxue remained silent, her expression changing.

"I didn't believe it at the time," Lin Fan said, "but he immediately added, 'The people coming have the ability to teleport; your bodyguards can't stop them.'"

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze from Su Qingxue and instead focused on the woods outside the city wall.

"At that time, I dropped Yang Biao and ran back."

Where is Yang Biao?

"He stayed there; his leg injury prevented him from walking quickly, and I didn't have time to look after him."

Su Qingxue nodded. She went through this information in her mind.

"If that PhD student hadn't told you all this..."

Lin Fan didn't respond.

Both of them knew what the second half of the sentence meant.

If the doctor hadn't warned him, Lin Fan would have continued searching for the entrance. By the time he realized something was wrong and rushed back, Xu Zhixia would already be dead, and Su Qingxue would have been taken away as well.

Su Qingxue loosened her grip and looked at Lin Fan, asking, "Why did he help us?"

"I don't know," Lin Fan shook his head. "But he said one last thing."

Su Qingxue looked at him.

He said to come see me tomorrow after I've dealt with those three people.

"Where to?"

"It's that spot from today..."

Su Qingxue remained silent for a long time; her mind was filled with too many thoughts, all jumbled together and impossible to sort out.

The doctor's reminder to Lin Fan saved Xu Zhixia's life and protected her.

The man who took Xu Zhixia away, Xu Zhixia called him "Dad".

The man wasn't the doctor, but he was on the same island as the doctor.

The doctor has his own underground laboratory, which is monitored and has a loudspeaker.

The person who sent people to arrest her was the "boss" the doctor mentioned.

The PhD and the "boss" don't seem to be on the same wavelength.

"Are you really going tomorrow?" Su Qingxue asked.

"We have to go," Lin Fan said. "This doctor has something: medicine, the purpose of the experiment, and intelligence about the island. The fact that he's willing to meet means there's room for negotiation."

Su Qingxue did not respond immediately.

She sat on a rock, her hands on her knees, her gaze fixed on the cave floor.

After a while, she spoke.

You can't go.

Lin Fan turned to look at her.

"You saw what happened today," Su Qingxue said softly. "Three superhumans came at the same time. One can teleport, one can control people's minds, and one is so strong that even Zhou Kai couldn't handle him."

"I know."

"You knew?" Su Qingxue turned her head away. "Then why did you still go?"

Lin Fan didn't respond.

Su Qingxue stood up and walked up to him.

"Lin Fan, I've had a feeling since yesterday, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something's just not right."

I tried to dissuade you before you left, but I couldn't.

"And what happened? You left, and three people showed up right after you left."

Lin Fan looked at her but didn't interrupt.

"Zhi Xia's fate is still unknown." Su Qingxue lowered her voice as she said this. "Xiao Qian has three broken ribs, Wu Hui was thrown against the stone wall, Zhou Kai was beaten to a pulp, and seven or eight of the Su family's bodyguards are dead."

"What if another group of people comes if you go again tomorrow?"

Lin Fan remained silent for a few seconds; he knew what Su Qingxue was worried about.

"Qingxue, listen to me."

Su Qingxue looked up at him.

"Do you know what the ability of that man in gray he was today is?"

"I saw it, it disappeared into thin air, and then reappeared out of thin air."

"Yes." Lin Fan stared into Su Qingxue's eyes. "Spatial abilities, just like yours."

Su Qingxue was stunned for a moment.

"He can move people from one place to another, and he can travel through space to any location on his own."

Su Qingxue remained silent, and Lin Fan continued, "Your ability is also spatial."

"But you can only grab things, store things, and farm resources. You can't do what he does."

Su Qingxue opened her mouth, "You mean...?"

"With the same abilities, why can he do things you can't?"

"Until this problem is clarified, your abilities will remain at their current level."

Lin Fan looked at her. "Think about it, if you could also teleport, would today's events still have happened?"

Su Qingxue was speechless.

She wanted to argue, but the scene from today flashed through her mind: the man in gray standing behind her, Xu Zhixia blocking her way, Zhou Kai being tossed around, and Xiao Qian and Wu Hui's knives stabbing into thin air.

If she could do that too, moving her people to new locations, or simply throwing the enemy out...

"I want to find out too," Su Qingxue said, "but could it not be tomorrow?"

"The doctor's appointment is for tomorrow."

"He just made the appointment? You'll listen to whatever he says?" Su Qingxue's tone sharpened. "All the things he's done—mutant drugs, beastman experiments, superhumans—aren't they all his doing? You went to his territory, are you sure he won't attack you?"

"If he was going to make a move, he wouldn't have told me today..."

Su Qingxue choked for a moment.

Lin Fan continued: ...
