Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Jiang Yixiao’s Water Ability
In the room next to Jiang Yixiao’s, Lin Xiuyuan, who had subdued a Thunder Element Ability user for Jiang Yixiao, looked at the mummified corpse on the floor in horror. What kind of woman was this, killing people without shedding blood, and then leaving them in such a... disgusting way?
"Dead, dead?"
Lin Xiuyuan asked.
"Probably dead... I also just accidentally..."
Jiang Yixiao was also quite upset; her special ability was difficult to control. If she used her ability against others, she could only kill them, not immobilize them like Lin Xiuyuan could.
"Hiss, if that’s the case, you dried out all the moisture in his body, maybe if you refill him with water, will he come back to life?"
Lin Xiuyuan stroked his chin as he looked at the mummified corpse on the ground.
"Huh? I don’t know, should I try?"
Jiang Yixiao had never thought about this method, but after Lin Xiuyuan suggested it, she actually planned to give it a try.
Meanwhile, Li Yang, who was frozen at the side, watched in horror as the two young people crouched down to try to restore the mummified corpse.
Are they insane?
Who treats the dead like this?
When he saw the corpse on the ground slowly starting to swell, he finally fainted spectacularly.
Why did he come to this base???
When Lu Hao and his companions arrived, they saw Lin Xiuyuan and Jiang Yixiao squatting on the ground whispering about something, and beside them lay a middle-aged man who had been frozen into a block of ice and had already passed out.
"Brother-in-law, you’re here?"
Lin Xiuyuan turned to look at the newcomers and then continued talking with Jiang Yixiao.
"I told you it wouldn’t work. Swollen like this, it’s still better than dried up, like those bloated in water in horror movies, it’s scary."
Jiang Yixiao said.
"At least this still looks human, right? It was scarier when he was just a dried corpse,"
Lin Xiuyuan argued unconvinced.
"Anyway, I think this is not good,"
Jiang Yixiao said and then used her Water Element Ability again, causing the body on the ground to return to its mummified state.
"..."
Lin Cheng and the others were also seeing this kind of Water Element Ability for the first time, and he thought it best not to let Huang Yunxiang think about innovating anymore...
"Let’s go,"
Lu Hao shook his head and walked out; soon, the Security Team or Guard Squad would arrive, as he had already notified Liang Jiuhui.
Meanwhile, the two in the room continued talking about something related to Huo Qi on the ground.
"Where did all the moisture in his body go? It’s not absorbed into your body, is it?"
Lin Xiuyuan asked.
"How could it be? But I also don’t know where it went, just like you guys don’t know where your abilities come from either,"
Jiang Yixiao seriously replied.
...
In the villa, the Heart Talk Team had gathered, all except Lian Jiyue.
"The Base Leader said he wanted to ask the three of them some questions. It might be very late before they get back,"
Mao Qiqi said.
"Today’s incident, it seems the whole base knows about it, but they only know that someone tried to intercept Lian Ze,"
Xue Wanyi said, although the scene was closed off, many people in the opposite building and nearby had seen Lian Ze being forced out at knifepoint.
"Lian Ze is now a celebrity in the base. No wonder news spreads so fast,"
Liao Yifan also said, feeling that now, Lian Ze’s fame in the base was second only to the Heart Talk Team.
"This matter is too complicated, let them solve it themselves..."
Su Jin thought of Han Yizhou from today. Han Yizhou had died in the S-city base, and he was Lian Ze’s uncle, who had previously threatened Lian Ze with a knife...
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Xiao Jin is right, let them sort it out themselves. I almost forgot to show you this,"
Lin Tianhui eagerly took out her phone, which had a video she had recorded at the hospital today.
When they saw it was Su Jin’s prenatal check-up video, everyone crowded around.
"Are those the little babies? How cute!"
Liao Yifan felt melted by cuteness, "So they already look like little people at this stage?"
Lu Hao stared intently at the two black and white images in the video, then Huang Yunxiang said mysteriously, "Guess if the babies are boys or girls, We already know the answer,"
"What? The hospital can even determine that? Tell us, please,"
Lu Guanhai asked eagerly.
He didn’t want to guess if they were boys or girls, he had thought about this question himself. If they were boys, he’d regret not having a girl, but if they were girls, he’d regret not having a boy, so he just didn’t want to guess.
"I guess they are boys. Lu Hao is so impressive, hehehe,"
Guo Yang said.
"I hope they are girls, just as beautiful as Su Jin and definitely very cute,"
Liao Yifang said.
"Auntie Huang, what are they really, a boy or a girl? It’s hard for us to guess,"
Yin Chengtian also asked.
"Cough cough, let me announce it, we have both a boy and a girl!"
Lin Tianhui stood up and declared.
"A dragon and a phoenix!"
The family suddenly exploded with excitement, and Lu Guanhai had the broadest smile, now he had no regrets anymore.
Lu Hao just smiled, although at that moment, he felt like he had won a big prize.
He was going to have a daughter!
...
Indeed, the news about Lian Ze being held hostage spread throughout the base the next day, and the entrance to his residence was already crowded with fans who had come to show their concern, though it seemed Lian Ze hadn’t returned there yet.
Lian Jiyue hadn’t returned to the villa either; he and Lian Zongren were now staying in a temporary residence newly arranged by Liang Jiuhui.
At that moment, Moli felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward as she watched the three of them sitting silently in the middle of the room.
"Uh... this place seems quite spacious, huh?"
Moli made conversation out of nothing.
"Ze, would you blame me?"
Lian Zongren finally spoke up.
"???"
Lian Ze looked at Lian Zongren puzzledly, wondering why he would ask that.
"If it weren’t for me, your uncle might not have died,"
Lian Zongren said. If he hadn’t rushed forward, the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened, but he did not regret it.
"He would have died sooner or later. Taking out an unstable subject is a taboo; he was too impatient,"
Lian Ze never blamed Lian Zongren. In his view, the person named Han Yi smelled heavily of alcohol, and his condition wasn’t stable even before, yet Han Yizhou had taken him out.
"Exactly, I’ve always said that their experiments were just a waste of effort without any interesting outcomes, unlike what you’re doing now, Ze, right?"
Moli asked, tilting her head, her hair looking as if a dog had chewed it, making her appearance somewhat pitiable.
Lian Ze didn’t respond to Moli’s words, but just gave her a blank look; he felt he didn’t miss the research institute in E-city Base, but he did miss the less talkative Moli from before.
"Yueer, don’t be too sad,"
Lian Zongren knew He Ya; she had been one of Lian Jiyue’s subordinates before the Apocalypse, and Lian Jiyue had been silent these past few days, so he was a bit worried that he was blaming himself.
"Dad, I want to go back to E-city Base for a bit,"
Lian Jiyue suddenly said.
