I'm not really a zombie

early morning.

Yuan Ling counted the time. This is already the third day since Lin Fang left, and Lin Fang will return to the base tomorrow.Similarly, the group of zombies will also arrive at the base tomorrow.

Besides, he has one more thing to do tomorrow, which is to talk to Ai Qi again.

They haven't talked since Ai Qi refused to communicate yesterday morning, and Ai Qi hasn't done any treatment for the professor.Fortunately, the professor and Xiaoxiao only thought it was a recuperation period after injecting the crystal nucleus extract, so they didn't ask too much.But he knew that he couldn't hide it for a long time.

He is not a nice guy.At the beginning, she agreed to Ai Qi's call for help, but it was only because of what Ai Qi said.

He is willing to help Ai Qi for that secret without harming his own interests, and he can also agree to ask about the secret after taking Ai Qi away, but his tolerance is limited.

If Ai Qi can't show his worth, then he doesn't need to pamper this person.

As for the secret he wanted to know, there was more than one way to know it.

You can't ask people in the last days to be kind, can you?

Sensing the slight sound outside the door, Yuan Ling was a little surprised, but he didn't open the door, and still looked through the documents in his hand unhurriedly.

He wanted to wait for someone outside to come to him on his own initiative.

But after more than ten minutes had passed, he had flipped through all the documents, but the knock on the door still did not ring.

He was a little irritable while waiting and had to get up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, the figure outside stepped back abruptly, retracting the hand that was about to knock on the door.It was Ai Qi.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

Ai Qi stared at her toes and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry" is an unlucky word in the last days, almost synonymous with misfortune. Whenever this sentence appears, it must mean that something bad has happened.

This sentence brought back some bad memories in Yuan Ling, he frowned subconsciously, "What do you want to say?"

This attitude seemed to hurt Ai Qi, he shrank his body again, and his voice seemed to cry, "I'm sorry, I, I, I didn't obey, privately, privately..."

Yuan Ling pinched his eyebrows impatiently, he would rather listen to the howling of zombies than hear such a person crying in front of him, "Apart from these, is there anything else you want to say?"

Ai Qi seemed to be startled, hiccupped while crying, and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"So you're saying, you can go and heal the professor now?"

Yuan Ling looked at Ai Qi who was sitting on a chair wiping tears, and asked calmly.

"Yeah." Ai Qi replied with a strong nasal voice.

"Very good. But before that, I have a few questions for you." Yuan Ling said.

"The first question, where did the crystal nucleus you absorbed come from?"

Ai Qi was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and replied, "When I was in the mercenary group, the deputy head gave it to me."

Deputy head, isn't there a deputy head in the base?

Yuan Ling rolled his eyes and asked, "Cui Ming?"

"It's him." Ai Qi trembled, looking terrified, but resisting her fear, she asked, "How do you know his name?"

Yuan Ling thought for a while, Cui Ming was too cunning, always scheming, even if he appeared gentle and harmless for the time being, he would show his fangs when he gained power in the future, he had seen this kind of person a lot before.So he doesn't want to have too much interaction with Cui Ming, but from the standpoint of the base, it is obvious that keeping Cui Ming is more beneficial, so Cui Ming will always slowly infiltrate into the base in the future.

Ai Qi, on the other hand, has never wanted to have any contact with the base. She has a cowardly personality, and even her supernatural powers are healing, so the overall danger is not great.

Compared with the two, he was more willing to stand on Ai Qi's side.

Of course, it would be even better if Ai Qi's personality could be changed a little to make it less annoying.

Yuan Ling considered this and said some unimportant information to Ai Qi, "The mercenary regiment was defeated, and some mercenaries were captured, including Cui Ming."

Seeing that Ai Qi's body was shaking again, he thought that now Ai Qi agreed to treat the professor, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, the two of you will not meet again if there is no accident."

As soon as these words came out, Ai Qi really stopped shaking, and her shoulders relaxed a bit.

At this time, Yuan received the crystal nucleus extract, stared into Ai Qi's eyes and asked, "Do you want to inject this crystal nucleus extract? If not, I will send it back."

When Ai Qi entered the door just now, he noticed that Ai Qi's supernatural reaction was much stronger than before.If the amount of Ai Qi's ability was 1 before, it is at least 3 now, and according to his judgment, this is not Ai Qi's best state. If he is given a few days to recover, it may be 4, or even 5.

In terms of results, Ai Qi's attempt to improve his ability was successful.

Now that the goal that was originally intended to be achieved by injecting the crystal nucleus extract has been achieved, it is not necessary to inject this crystal nucleus extract.

Being able to inject is naturally better for the result, but Yuan Ling is not that greedy, and he is more tolerant when the target result has been achieved.

If Ai Qi still chooses to refuse, he will really return this crystal nucleus extract.

But Ai Qi expressed his attitude with actions. He rolled up his sleeves, turned his head, closed his eyes tightly, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Come on."

Yuan Ling was slightly surprised, but he didn't show it. He just said, "You can refuse. You have already improved your abilities in your own way, so the crystal nucleus extraction solution is not necessary. If you refuse, I will have nothing Opinion."

"I want to help you."

Ai Qi's voice was very small, but it was as shocking as thunder to Yuan Ling's ears, just as he was shocked when he heard that sentence that day when he promised to help Ai Qi.

"Also, I don't have the courage to increase my ability by absorbing crystal nuclei again." Ai Qi added in a low voice.

Yuan Ling took back the crystal nucleus extract, and under Ai Qi's surprised eyes, he said, "I'll give you the injection after today's treatment is completed."

As soon as Yuan Ling brought Ai Qi into the door, he heard the professor knocking heart-piercingly, smiling that the handkerchief in his hand was already full of blood.

The two looked at each other, and Ai Qi immediately stepped forward to hold the professor's hand and started the treatment.

After 10 minutes, the professor's cough has gradually stopped...

After 10 minutes, the professor has completely calmed down...

Three or ten minutes later, the professor moved his hand and shook his head at Yuan Ling at the same time...

Yuan Ling immediately understood what the professor meant, that he could stop, so he patted Ai Qi on the shoulder, and Ai Qi stopped.

Xiaoxiao helped the professor to sit down, and fed the professor with water. After watching the professor finish drinking half a glass of water, she said, "It seems that the injection of the crystal nucleus extract is effective, and the treatment time this time is longer than the last time. Doubled, and the effect is much better.”

Last time there was almost no effect, although this time the effect is still very small, but at least visible to the naked eye, it can be confirmed that it is indeed effective.

Xiaoxiao thinks this is not bad, but only Yuan Ling knows that this is far from Ai Qi's best performance.

"It is true that the effect is better now, but today he actually failed to return to his best form."

Yuan Ling said this to pave the way for the next upgrade after using the crystal nucleus extraction liquid power. He didn't want people in the base to discover the secret of Ai Qi's own upgrade, which would cause side effects.

The professor seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Yuan Ling opened the door, and the door opened to Lao Xu who was carrying a medical kit.

"I seem to have heard the professor cough just now, is it all right?" Old Xu said.

"It's all right." The professor said, his voice slightly hoarse.

Seeing that Professor Xu was in good condition, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes paused when he saw Ai Qi, but he didn't say anything, and left wisely.

"Professor, how do you feel now?"

The professor smiled, seemed to be in good spirits, and said, "It's much better."

The professor fell asleep again after being awake for half an hour, describing it as peaceful.

Xiaoxiao said softly, "It seems that Cui Ming is not lying. We can trust him a little more. In the next few days, I will find time to find some information from him, and slowly test his sincerity."

Yuan Zero is noncommittal.

Xiaoxiao went on to say, "Since the professor has started to improve, the second brother can rest assured to stay on the defense line."

"Stay on the defense line?" Yuan Ling frowned, "Is the second brother not planning to withdraw to the base? Can the defense line resist zombies?"

"This is also for the sake of the base. The matter at the second brother's place has been dealt with, and we have started training mercenaries to fight against zombies and disperse the pressure on the base." Xiaoxiao explained, "So many mercenaries can't lock them up for nothing, and put them away. I am worried about sending them to the base, and staying on the defense line will not only disperse the pressure of the zombies on the base, but also reduce the risk of their rebellion."

Yuan Ling was a little surprised, "I thought he would end his business over there and come back to the professor immediately."

"Then you underestimate the second brother too much, and you underestimate the professor too. The second brother understands that the professor wants him to exert more power than stay here." He smiled and said, "The second brother has this awareness, otherwise he would It won't be the second brother."

At night, Yuan Ling injected Ai Qi with the crystal nucleus extract, and he watched the blue liquid slowly pour into Ai Qi's body.

He didn't leave directly, but stayed to observe Ai Qi's reaction after the injection. After a period of time after the injection, he felt that the abilities in Ai Qi's body began to fluctuate, gradually changing from weak to strong.

"Is there any discomfort?" he asked.At that time, the fluctuation of the ability was already considered violent.

"Ah? Ah?" Ai Qi seemed to be in a daze, unable to understand Yuan Ling's meaning for a while.

Yuan Ling ignored him, and lowered his head to think. Although the powers in Ai Qi's body fluctuated violently, they seemed to be in order, not as rampant as last night, and Ai Qi didn't feel uncomfortable.This can be regarded as two extremes from the reaction after absorbing the crystal nucleus yesterday.

It is indeed a crystal nucleus extract.

As expected, the product of the laboratory.

If there is such a thing in Yiren City, I'm afraid it's hard to say what the situation is now.

He thought of those supernatural beings who had to absorb crystal nuclei to increase their power in order to protect their family and friends, but failed miserably, and thought of those thousands of similar people who were killed by hot weapons, and felt empty in his heart.

It was late at night, and he touched Ai Qi's forehead to make sure he didn't have a fever, so he left.

He didn't notice that Ai Qi, who kept her head down, also had sadness in her eyes.

That's fellow survivors, sad.
