Chapter 1176: Wait for Chief to Come Back

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
People called for Lin Hao once Yuan Tianxing was sent back to the base.
Lin Hao spent a whole night in the emergency room, but still failed to force out the explosive energy inside the latter’s body with his own superpower.
The next day, the exhausted Lin Hao only managed to stable Yuan Tianxing’s condition temporarily by making him drink the lake water from Lin Qiao’s space and soaking him in it. Only with that did the weird energy stop spreading further inside his body.
Lin Hao walked out of the room with a tired face, and found the others looking at him carefully and expectantly.
“There is a very strong, volatile type of power inside his body. The muscles cells in half of his chest were almost blasted away. His bones are damaged to a certain degree as well. But fortunately, his own energy automatically protected his liver and heart. Otherwise, he’d die before Chief came back,” said Lin Hao to the others seriously.
“Yun Meng and Old Guo went back to the waterfall to take a look and found the source of the waterfall sealed by Deputy Chief Yuan with rocks. I guess that cost him too much energy and worsened his condition,” Li Zheng received the news from Yun Meng when Yuan Tianxing was in treatment.
Lin Feng furrowed his brows and said, “Are you saying that we have to wait for Chief to come back? Can’t you help him?”
Lin Hao shook his head and said, “My power can barely suppress that energy inside Tianxing’s body. We have to wait for Chief to come back.”
He wasn’t able to control the energy in Lin Qiao’s lake water to cure Yuan Tianxing. Without the lake water, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to that destructive energy.
Hearing Lin Hao’s words, the others all sighed with worry.
“Are you saying that Chief is our only chance to change his condition?” Lin Feng thought for a moment and then asked Lin Hao.
“Yes. But for now, I can’t tell if his condition will grow worse or better by that time. But, I think Chief will have a way to help him.”
Lin Feng glanced at the door of the emergency room, then sighed and left. After Lin Qiao left, bad things happened to Lin Wenwen and Yuan Tianxing in a row. That was not a good sign!
Apart from that, more and more unpredictable factors emerged underground. It made people feel as if some great kind of crisis was coming.
The apocalypse had already happened, and the zombie virus had exploded twice. Lin Feng suddenly found himself used to disasters like that.
In Lin Qiao’s apartment, Wu Chengyue was feeding Teng while listening to the news from all over the world delivered to him by Xiao Licheng.
“So, Si Kongchen went home empty handed?” Wu Chengyue put the rubber nipple into Teng’s mouth. The latter dodged from side to side, struggling on his father’s knees.
“I think so. They released the news before Miss. Lu and Lan Lu came out. The level-nine man’s vibe has calmed down, meaning that someone managed to knock him out,” While reporting to his Chief, Xiao Licheng looked at Teng who was struggling intensely in his father’s arms.
“Lan Lu was there. He wouldn’t let anyone kill the level-nine man. The man’s vibe calmed down after the zombie lady arrived, so I guess she helped. After all, she’s able to turn herself invisible and approach the superpower possessors who have lost control of themselves. Alright Teng, are you gonna drink this milk or not? You are such a trouble-maker!” Wu Chengyue pondered for a moment based on the provided information, then gave a conclusion. Of course, he also felt annoyed by the naughty kid in his arms.
“I don’t want the bottle! I don’t want the bottle! Put the milk in a bowl and feed me with that!” Teng turned the back of his head to his father and yelled.
“The milk becomes cold in a bowl very quickly, and cold milk tastes fishy. You wouldn’t drink that. Come on, I’m gonna be mad!” Wu Chengyue said with a poker face, but his tone of speaking was still rather gentle.
It was almost the end of November, and the weather had become very cold. The air temperature was low in both day and night. Feeding the kid had been troublesome recently; he always let his milk become cold and then complained about its awful taste. What a difficult child!
The milk could stay warm for a longer time in a nursing bottle, yet the kid refused to drink milk from a bottle.
“I don’t want it! I want it in a bowl! I’ll drink all of it!” Teng still wouldn’t yield.
Sitting by the side, Wu Yueling was feeding herself quietly. From time to time, she would raise her head to look at her father and little brother. She seemed to be relaxed, even smiling a little bit.
Wu Chengyue sighed and poured the milk into a bowl. At the same time, he asked Xiao Licheng, “Have you found out anything about the level-nine man yet?”
Xiao Licheng nodded, “Yes, his name is Dong Xiaowei. I heard that Green Mountain Base is located in a remote town, in a mental institution, and that Dong Xiaowei, Lan Lu, and the others in their base all used to be patients who suffered mental problems. Somehow, they are all healthy now.”
“I guess it’s because their superpower energy fixed their brain. Lan Lu has spirit power after all,” said Wu Chengyue.
“I don’t know when Miss. Lu will come back to the base. The situation here isn’t good. Also, we haven’t yet figured out what exactly is going on underground. She might be able to learn something from those underground gorillas,” said Xiao Licheng with a frown.
“Lin Hao has spent a whole night in the ER. It seems that Yuan Tianxing is injured pretty badly. Even a level-seven man is hurt like this down there. Whatever is happening underground is definitely not easy to deal with. Where was that energy from?” Wu Chengyue had learned about the purpose of Yuan Tianxing’s mission, as well as its result. He didn’t know all the details, as he didn’t go down into the cave himself.
Even the level-seven Yuan Tianxing returned with such severe injury, meaning that the underground world was dangerous, and was a huge problem for the people on the surface.
That huge problem was now slowly surfacing.
“Maybe something changed underground and caused that. In that case, whatever that change is, it’s gonna be dangerous for humans and other creatures,” Xiao Licheng shared the same thoughts with Wu Chengyue.
“We don’t have sharp sensations like zombies. But, not even Qiu Lili and Yun Meng have sensed anything yet. I think the situation isn’t very urgent yet. We should still have some time. Teng, can you drink your milk? Look at what your sister is doing. She has finished her meal already!” Wu Chengyue gave the little boy a glare while speaking.
