Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Su Jin’s New Skill
"What’s the plan?"
Could it be to go out and find someone with a light-based special ability? She didn’t want anyone else to know about this.
"I’ll go get your mom."
Su Xiangzhe said with a smile, Lin Tianhui hadn’t fought with them and she hadn’t entered the space yet, so she must be resting now.
"Right! Why did I forget about mom? She must have healed a lot of people by now."
Su Jin suddenly realized that her own mother was also a special ability user, and one who had a great need for special ability power.
"I’ll go get her."
An energetic Lu Hao stood up; he also wanted to confirm that what he had just seen wasn’t a dream.
"Su Jin, I’m going to have to start calling you the boss. If this is true, you’d be a blue dad who can replenish my mana!"
Lin Xiuyuan’s words drew a bunch of eye rolls from the family.
A mana-replenishing blue dad.
But Su Jin knew what Lin Xiuyuan meant and couldn’t help but find it rather funny. His depiction was quite vivid...
"I wonder what the situation is like outside the base now"
Su Xiangzhe couldn’t help thinking. He felt as if they had rested for a very long time.
"Dad, it’s only been an hour out there"
It had only been an hour, so they should not venture out too soon to avoid unnecessary attention.
"Yeah, we’ll know when my sister gets back."
Lin Tianzhen also advised, their shop hadn’t opened today because they’d all gone zombie hunting with the family.
Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo had brought over some pastries and tea for everyone to snack on while they waited for Lin Tianhui to come in.
Outside the space.
When Lu Hao arrived at the temporary aid station, Lin Tianhui was still treating an injured person. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lu Hao could tell that Lin Tianhui was already very exhausted, even her healing hands were trembling imperceptibly.
"Xiao Hao, what brings you here?"
Lin Tianhui looked up and saw her energetic son-in-law standing by. She immediately understood that her family must have already rested inside the space.
"Mom, I’ve come to take you back."
Lu Hao looked at the medical staff in the aid station. It was clear that none of these people had yet had a chance to rest, which was why Lin Tianhui hadn’t entered the space.
"Ah, there are quite a few injured..."
Lin Tianhui hesitated a bit, still having some special ability power and wanting to heal a few more people.
"Director Lin, you should go back first. Xiao Zhang and the others will be here soon."
A bearded Yao Yi urged. Director Lin was a generation older than them and had been working non-stop for so long; it was time for her to rest.
"Yes, early rest means I can come back earlier."
Lu Hao had no intention of letting Lin Tianhui hold on any longer. Her current state demanded that she go back and rest.
Seeing the insistence from both sides, Lin Tianhui didn’t say anything more, but she still healed the wound of the injured person she had been treating halfway before following Lu Hao back to the car.
"Mom, were there many casualties?"
Lu Hao asked. It had been less than two hours since they had returned, right?
"Yes, as soon as you all left, the numbers started to increase. Many were injured by zombies’ special abilities, and of course, some died."
Lin Tianhui leaned back in the car and responded. Continuous use of the healing element ability made her feel the rapid loss of special ability power.
The snow on the roads within the base had already been cleared by the people inside.
Most of them were ordinary people without special abilities. Knowing that zombies had approached the base, they had organized themselves to either run logistics at the city gates or clear the snow inside the base, contributing to the base’s needs.
The car quickly reached the villa. Lin Tianhui was almost asleep, so as soon as she got to her room, she immediately flashed into the space.
"Look at you, coming back so exhausted again."
Li Xiuying said tenderly, reproaching Lin Tianhui. Compared to the family, who were full of energy, and Lin Tianhui, who hardly had the strength to walk, Lin Tianhui looked like she was sickly.
"Many people got injured?"
Su Xiangzhe handed Lin Tianhui a cup of water and asked.
After Lu Hao repeated what Lin Tianhui had just told him to everyone else, and they learned that most of the injuries were minor, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Lin, try the new skill Xiao Jin unlocked. Let’s all see it,"
Nie Qing couldn’t wait to say, as he was also curious about Su Jin’s new skill.
New skill?
Lin Tianhui looked puzzledly at her daughter. Had the space upgraded something again?
Su Jin didn’t explain anything; instead, she tried to summon Xiao Miao, which twined around Lin Tianhui’s wrist.
"Is it like this?"
Su Jin asked, turning to Lu Hao.
Lu Hao nodded and also crouched next to mother and daughter, intently watching the small seedling.
Lin Tianhui: "..."
So what exactly is the new skill?
"Mom, do you feel anything, like your special ability slowly recovering?"
Su Jin asked.
"It seems... not really,"
Lin Tianhui tried to sense it but didn’t feel anything like what Su Jin and Lu Hao described.
Could it be fake?
Su Jin couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
"Xiao Jin, try stimulating your special ability,"
Lu Hao suggested.
Su Jin nodded, trying to let the Wood Element Ability flow slowly through her body while communicating with the Xiao Miao in the palm of her hand.
She had so many abilities, and since Xiao Cui could transfer the Man-Eating Flower’s energy to her, could she also transfer it to others?
Everyone’s eyes widened around the duo, and gradually, the skin of Su Jin that was exposed outside her clothes emitted a faint green light, which quickly disappeared.
And Lin Tianhui finally felt an unprecedented sensation.
Her special ability was being replenished!
"My dear daughter, it’s real, you are really replenishing my special ability power!"
Lin Tianhui said excitedly.
Then everyone got excited.
"Should we go out and fight some more? I really want to try what it feels like to have my ability replenished,"
Lin Xiuyuan, a big consumer of special ability power, said excitedly.
"No, it’s too early to go out now, let’s watch a few more episodes of the TV series,"
Su Jin vetoed.
"..."
Lin Xiuyuan indicated that he only wanted to contribute to humanity now; he didn’t want to rest anymore.
But for the sake of the "big picture," the family still got busy in their space.
Nie Qing, Lu Guanhai, and Su Xiangzhe’s card game resumed; the three sat in the yard of the Lu Residence, eating fruits and starting another round of playing card games.
After Lin Tianhui fell asleep, Su Jin took her tablet and headphones, then wrapped Xiao Miao around her wrist.
She couldn’t help it; her special ability was growing again, and she still had to stay in the space for a few hours, so she might as well chase dramas while dissipating her special ability!
At the gateway of Base City S, Xing Taining drove a metal spike into the brain of a Level Six Water Element Zombie, and after enduring waves of dizziness from the draining of his special ability, he finally passed out in the inner field.
Mutated Zombies were really too many, and he couldn’t remember how many zombies he had killed. He just knew the loss of special ability power was too rapid, which made him pass out the moment he tried to stand.
Now that was truly embarrassing, Xing Taining thought to himself as he looked at Liang Jiuqing, who had been watching him from atop the city wall before he fainted.
