novelWho Is that Person?
| ← Ch.1246 | Ch.1248 → |
Lin Hao stopped short, then looked at her and responded with, "How do you know? Can you guys do telepathy?"
Clearly, she was talking about Yuan Tianxing. He was the one whose body had turned purple entirely, seemingly poisoned.
"Who's that person? What does that person have to do with me?" This time, Lin Wenwen was the one to be nervous and anxious. That man was definitely very important to her. Except for Lin Feng and Lin Hao, the only one she could think of was...
With that thought, she blinked her eyes as she rushed up to Lin Hao and grasped his collar before he could say a word.
"Is it Tianxing? Is it him?" She widened her eyes, and a complicated look could be detected from her eyes. She had figured out the answer but didn't want to believe it. She couldn't accept it, so she asked Lin Hao, hoping to hear a different answer from him.
With regret, Lin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, it is Tianxing. Earlier, he encountered something not good when he went down into the underground cave to search for important clues. He got hurt."
Lin Hao's words confirmed Lin Wenwen's guess. For a moment, despair flashed across her mind. She blinked and froze for two seconds, "H-how is he now? He's still alive, right?"
In the scene that she foresaw in her mind, the man was still alive. She could sense his life-force.
Lin Hao nodded and said, "He's still alive. But... we couldn't cure him..."
"What do you mean by you couldn't cure him!" Lin Wenwen's expression changed when she heard what Lin Hao said, and she anxiously interrupted her brother.
Lin Hao hurriedly comforted her, "Calm down, calm down. Can you just let me finish this? I was trying to tell you about the most important thing."
"Tell me then!" Lin Wenwen couldn't help but grip his collar and shake him.
"Alright, alright. Tianxing's condition is serious. We couldn't cure him, so our big sister put him in the lake in her space to suppress the harmful energy inside him. The destructive energy inside his body has been spreading, and we couldn't stop it. But now, you brought back uninfected catmint. This is the cure. That's why I told you we couldn't cure him before... But now, he can be cured! Oh, how much catmint have you brought back in total? Don't tell me this is it!" While explaining to Lin Wenwen, Lin Hao suddenly thought of something very important, so he looked at her nervously and asked.
"I tried my best to collect more. I've visited quite a few planting bases, and got about five-hundred kilograms of fresh catmint plants, as well as many seeds. We can grow them in our big sister's base!" Lin Wenwen said the first part with slight frustration, but mentioning the seeds, she sounded expectant.
"Five-hundred kilograms! That's a lot! And you've also brought back seeds! Great! Seeds are even more important!" On hearing Lin Wenwen's words, Lin Hao instantly had his eyes glowing brightly. He was so excited that he even held her hands and looked at her with a huge smile on his face."The catmint will cure Tianxing. It might also help us to deal with those underground creatures out there!"
"Underground creatures? What underground creatures? Those eye-less, gorilla-like ones?" The first thing popped in Lin Wenwen's head was those underground gorillas.
Lin Hao shook his head as he let go of her hands, and also conveniently pulled her hands off his collar. After that, he picked up the bagful of catmint and walked out of the room toward his office. In the meantime, he said, "Not those ones... Let's go to my office. I still have a lot of questions for you."
"Not those underground gorillas? Are there other underground creatures? How is Tianxing now? What exactly can the catmint do? Can it really save Tianxing?" Lin Wenwen cared only about Yuan Tianxing right now, so she followed behind Lin Hao and asked a series of questions.
"He's in Big Sister's space now, but she is not in the base at the moment. We... we have to wait until she comes back. When she comes back, we'll start Tianxing's treatment. The catmint juice can paralyze the underground creatures. More and more of them have been coming out of the ground. Even the mutated catmint is harmful to them, so the pure catmint is definitely more effective, " Lin Hao explained to her while walking.
"Wenwen! It's really you!" A small figure suddenly showed up before the two.
Earlier, Qiu Lili had sensed Lin Wenwen's vibe from Mount Wu area, so she headed straight to the hospital. Only when she saw the latter standing beside Lin Hao in a hospital gown was she sure that she was right.
"Yeah, I'm back! I'm sorry that I couldn't come back earlier. You guys must have been so worried about me." Seeing Qiu Lili look at her with surprise in that pair of big red eyes, Lin Wenwen comforted her smilingly.
"Wh-where have you been? Why did you disappear?" Qiu Lili calmed herself down, then finally asked the question that she had been harboring for such a long time.
"Let's go. I'll tell you guys everything when we sit down in Lin Hao's office, " Lin Wenwen smiled at her.
"Oh, " Qiu Lili followed her toward Lin Hao's office, still gawking at her.
As the three of them almost arrived at Lin Hao's office, Lin Kui showed up. He was with Qiu Lili, actually. However, he really couldn't catch up with Qiu Lili, who possessed level-seven wind power. That was why he showed up later than she did.
With surprise, he looked at Lin Wenwen from head to toe. But soon, the bagful of plants in Lin Hao's hands caught his attention.
"What's that?"
On hearing that question, Lin Hao grinned and said, "Oh, no way! Are you sensitive to this? Really? You have panther's power, but you're not a real cat. The catmint can't really make you high, can it?"
Lin Wenwen and Qiu Lili heard what Lin Hao said and immediately looked at Lin Kui in an indescribable way. The look on Lin Kui's face grew complicated too."Eh... catmint?"
"Eh? Are you feeling something?" Qiu Lili spent a few seconds thinking after she heard Lin Hao's words, then couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
Lin Kui turned his eyes away awkwardly, then replied to her with, "A little bit..."
