Liang Dashu spent a while staring at the water in the cup, then sniffed at it and took a sip. ?Then, he turned to say to Yuan Tianxing, "The water does contain a special type of energy. I feel that it shares the same origin as my power, and also has a healing effect. But, the energy contained in the water is not exactly the same as my power...There is more to it. Mr. Yuan is right. The effects of this power are limited."
He sighed, then put the cup on the table.
"In fact, it depends on how much energy the people who drank it can absorb. After reaching a saturation, human bodies won't be able to absorb any more of the energy in this water, and the extra energy would be excreted, or simply fade away, " he continued.
Xiao Yunlong looked at him, slowly showed a look of disappointment.
Yuan Tianxing nodded and said, "That's right! But, the effects of the water have just started showing up. We need to wait and see. Can I go to Chief Wu's place?"
"Of course!" Xiao Yunlong immediately nodded.
...
Wu Chengyue stayed at the bedside, looking at Ling Ling. ?Moli took out the clinical thermometer and checked the number on it, then said, "Her body temperature dropped again! It's fifty-seven point one degrees now."
Wu Chengyue touched Ling Ling's forehead. Feeling her hot skin, he said, "But her mind isn't clear."
Moli still wore no expression as she responded, "Chief, her body temperature has dropped a little. As long as it doesn't keep rising, Ling Ling's condition might take a turn for the better. Even staying in a semi-coma is better than her power continuing to awaken. Cheer up, Doctor Liang may figure out a way to help Ling Ling."
Wu Chengyue understood that she was trying to comfort him, and also knew that Ling Ling's current situation was already not bad. It had been quite long since her power started to awaken. If this magical suspension didn't happen, she would have fallen into unconsciousness long ago, and no one would know if she would ever wake up.
Right now, Wu Chengyue was very scared. He was worried that Ling Ling's situation might change again. If the energy inside her body continued erupting to trigger her power, she would have no chance of survival.
Wu Chengyue sat on the chair beside the bed, holding Ling Ling's little hand with one hand and brushing her bang with another.
"Ling Ling, look at Daddy. Are you hungry? Would you like to eat anything?" He talked to Ling Ling and tried to wake her up with his voice.
The little one glanced at him confusedly without nodding or shaking her head. Then, she turned her large eyes to the ceiling, and those eyes were unfocused.
Wu Chengyue turned his head to see the grass dragonfly that she had put on the table. He paused for a second, then picked it up.
"Ling Ling, look, the dragonfly you like. If you don't get us, Daddy will hide it, " he dangled the dragonfly before Ling Ling's eyes, then made a joke.
He didn't expect Ling Ling to make any response, but to his surprise, the little girl moved her eyes to the grass dragonfly from the ceiling.
Seeing that, Wu Chengyue gave a start at first, then looked at her with surprise while saying, "Ling Ling, do you recognize this?"
Ling Ling gazed at the grass dragonfly without giving any response.
Wu Chengyue moved the grass dragonfly. As he expected, Ling Ling's eyes moved along with it.
"Ling Ling, do you want this?" He asked, "If you do, just nod. Then Daddy will give it to you, alright?"
Wu Chengyue wanted to know if Ling Ling's brain would receive his words.
Ling Ling didn't nod as he wished, but kept staring at the grass dragonfly in his hand.
Moli, who stood aside, was surprised, even though she didn't show a surprised look."This grass dragonfly must be really important to Ling Ling, or she wouldn't be able to recognize it. After all, her mind isn't clear at the moment."
Wu Chengyue put the grass dragonfly on Ling Ling's hand and said, "She loves it. She has been seeing it as her treasure all the time."
Soon, Xiao Yunlong returned with Liang Dashu and Yuan Tianxing.
"How's Ling Ling doing? Is she getting any better?"?They asked about Ling Ling's condition the moment they entered the room.
"Good to see you, Chief Wu. Sorry for coming without an invitation. I hope you don't mind, " Yuan Tianxng greeted Wu Chengyue.
To be polite, Yuan Tianxing only brought Du Yuanxing into the room, and left the others outside.
Seeing him, Wu Chengyue immediately stood up and said, "It's alright! I haven't thanked you yet. Your water seems to have helped Ling Ling. I just want to ask you for more help."
"Can I see Ling Ling now? To be honest, I'm not so sure about the effects of that water. It'll be wonderful if it's really helpful, " said Yuan Tianxing.
"Yeah, " responded Wu Chengyue, "But, Ling Ling's current condition might be..."
"Thank you, " Yuan Tianxing nodded. ?While speaking, he walked to the bedside with curiosity and saw that Doctor Liang checking Ling Ling's pulse and pupils.
"How is she?" He asked. ?Doctor Liang was looking at Ling Ling's hand which was clutching the grass dragonfly. He found that once he tried to touch the grass dragonfly, the look in Ling Ling's eyes would change a little.
He took a step backward, then said, "Her body temperature has dropped a lot since we left. However, she's still in a semi-coma. She seems to care a lot about this little thing in her hand. Where did this from?"
"Ah, it's from a...Eh, someone gave it to her, " said Xiao Yunlong, "Ling Ling does love it. Normally, she won't let go of her hold on it."
Doctor Liang thought for a moment, then continued, "I can't see any obvious change now, but based on the fact that her body temperature is dropping slowly, she's getting better. The problem now is that if she can wake up completely. Judging by the reaction she made for this little toy, she cared a lot about it. But, that's only a subliminal reaction."
Hearing the doctor's words, Wu Chengyue didn't relax his tightened face, but he didn't look as upset as he was before at least.
Xiao Yunlong looked at the doctor and asked anxiously, "What you do mean? Should we keep observing her?"
Doctor Liang nodded in response.
On the other side, in Ling Qiao's space...
Lin Qiao wasn't in there, and some of the others were still sitting on the couches. However, a few energetic ones just couldn't keep sitting.
Ling Wenwen picked some strawberries, then washed them in a bucket by the lakeside. She saw two large buckets by the other side of the lake, but didn't dare to go near that area because she found that two living zombies were soaking in the buckets!
After washing the strawberries, she went back to the couch area. ?Putting the strawberries on the table, she said, "These are from Miss. Lu's space. Eat, they're safe."
While speaking, she picked one and began eating.
She and the others had had some of these strawberries before, so they didn't worry that they might turn them into zombies.
