Chapter 351 Psychic Energy Repaying Dan?
There are no light blue veins, no amber pupils, no blue-red halos, only cheeks flushed like drunkenness, and wet pajamas.
"What happened just now?" Turning his hands over and looking at it, all abnormalities disappeared. Recalling the experience just now, it is like a dream. "No, that's definitely not a dream."
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong..." The doorbell rang hurriedly, Linglong on the monitor changed her hesitant expression before, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes.
Zhou Ai sighed, temporarily suppressing his doubts, grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the door, and pressed the "open door" button.
"Hey..." The door opened, Linglong's expression froze, and then she looked up at Zhou Ai.
"It's Linglong, why haven't you slept yet, is there anything you can do to find me so late?" Zhou Ai said while letting her into the room: "Come in."
"Sister Zhou Ai, why is your face so red, and... and your body is soaked through." Linglong asked worriedly when she walked through the door. Zhou Ai did drink a few glasses of wine with Aros and Howson during dinner, but it's midnight now, and he should have woken up from the wine.
"Oh, I was exercising just now, maybe the intensity was a bit high, and I was sweating all over." Zhou Ai explained casually. Considering that it would be useless to tell Linglong what happened just now, it would be useless to worry her, so it is better to make up a lie to deceive her, find Claire and Tang Fang after she leaves, and make plans after Daoming is abnormal.
Only then did Linglong feel relieved, and sat down after Zhou Ai's gesture.
"What would you like to drink?" Zhou Ai went to the closet and grabbed two teacups: "I have tea, coffee, and authentic Scotch whiskey."
"Anything is fine." Linglong said somewhat cautiously. After all, the two sisters have only joined for half a day, and what happened during this period made her wary of everyone and deeply inferior.
Yingluo was better, but Linglong, who was stronger, had a sensitive mind. Facing a woman like Zhou Ai exuding a fierce aura. Inevitably feel oppressed.
"Jasmine, it suits you quite well." Zhou Ai squeezed some tea leaves into a cup and poured them into boiling water. He came to the sofa with two glasses and sat down.
She seemed to see that Linglong's expression was a little unnatural, and pushed the cup to her eyes. He smiled and said, "What? Am I that scary? After all, we are fellow villagers, so don't be so reserved."
"En." Linglong nodded, took the teacup and held it in her palms, looked up at Zhou Ai, showing a hesitant expression.
Zhou Ai glanced at her,
He sighed lightly: "I heard about your experience from Bai Hao, it's really hard for you... Don't worry, come here. No one will bully you again. Not to mention, I, Bai Hao, Claire Not allowed, even Tang Fang, will not let others hurt you again."
"He's been busy these two days, so he didn't have time to talk to you. Don't take it to heart. He feels alienated from you."
"Hmm..." Linglong shook her head: "I know, the burden on his shoulders is heavy. He saved the lives of Yingluo and me in the 'Blood-colored Door' before, and now he kindly takes us in. It's too late to be grateful. How could it be?" Blame him."
"Don't hold it so tight, relax, and be careful of burning." Zhou Ai smiled, and stretched out his hand to hold Linglong's slender hand: "I heard from Bai Hao that you are only 17 years old and you are not yet adults. Why don't you call me sister in the future? Appears intimate."
"Hey." Linglong smiled and finally relaxed a little.
"That's right. It's right to be wary when you meet strangers. But, to Tang Fang, to me, to Bai Hao, Roy, and other people on the ship, there's no need to be like this, just treat this place as your home. "
Seeing that Linglong was no longer restrained, Zhou Ai brought the topic back on track: "By the way, you must have something to do when you came to me so late, right?"
Linglong hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "I came so late...Is...I want to ask Miss Zhou Ai for a favor."
"Ask me for one thing?" Zhou Ai was taken aback: "Just tell me, as long as I can do it."
"I...I want to worship you as my teacher, please teach me how to defend myself." After organizing the words for a long time, Linglong finally said this sentence: "I don't want to be weak anymore, I want to become strong, only in this way can I protect myself." Wreaths."
When speaking, Linglong was very emotional, as if thinking of the experience in the "Blood Gate", her hands were clenched into fists, and even her body was trembling slightly.
"Okay, I promise you." Zhou Ai never thought that she would be entangled in such a trivial matter. The experience of the two girls is heartbreaking. Don't say that I want to help them, I am afraid that it is Aross, Linglong begged in the end In the future, I can't help but agree to her.
"Really?" Linglong was overjoyed, and raised her head to look directly at her.
"Of course it's true." Zhou Ai chuckled, "However, you can do training, but let the ugly words come first. You can be a master if you have to endure hardships. If you spend three days fishing and two days drying the net, you can't do it."
"No." Linglong said firmly.
"Well, I believe in you." People become strong and brave only after experiencing hardships. She believed that Linglong would be a good student.
"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest, I will find you tomorrow morning, don't stay in bed."
"En." Linglong stood up, said: "Sister Zhou Ai, good night", and walked outside.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and said solemnly to Zhou Ai who got up to see her off, "Thank you."
"Don't think too much, have a good rest." Zhou Ai smiled and waved goodbye.
"En." Linglong agreed, and walked quickly to her room. When Zhou Aige killed those government soldiers before, she had the idea of apprenticeship. After experiencing so much suffering, she is no longer the immature girl who would sit quietly under the gazebo with a book in her arms, listen to the jingle of the spring water, and savor the joys and sorrows of the characters in the author's works. It’s no longer the innocent girl who loves to stand on the bluestone slab after the rain with her bare feet, enjoying the refreshing coolness while watching the running water go away between her toes.
People always have to learn to grow up, learn to protect themselves and those around them.
Falling into the hands of Hercules, the two sisters were powerless to resist, and it was Tang Fang who rescued them. When they arrived at the Silbes star port, they were still being bullied. If Bai Hao hadn't saved her at the risk of being shot, they might have already returned to Qingming.
She has had enough. Fed up with a life that is powerless to resist and can only respond with tears and trembling. At this time, Zhou Ai's arrival seemed to illuminate her world like a bright light.
Who said women are doomed to be weak and bully? The same is flesh and blood. A person who can breathe can also carry a gun. If you can hold a sword, why can't you be a warrior and bravely face this rough and oppressive life?
So, she came here, for herself, for Yingluo, and also to repay Bai Hao and Tang Fang for their life-saving and kindness.
Joey, Grant, Claire, Bai Hao, Roy... on them. Linglong saw persistence, courage, and even the light of ideals. Each of them is struggling on the road of life, step by step towards the ideal land.
Look at the two of my sisters again. Apart from fear, there is nothing but fear in life. What is the meaning of such a life? She didn't want to hide behind Bai Hao and Tang Fang forever and tremble, waiting for others to protect her. She wants to become stronger, to become like Zhou Ai, mature, brave, determined, and strong. Like a red tasseled gun whistling in the wind.
"Tap, tap..." The footsteps gradually receded, compared to when they came. Less trivial, more calm.
Watching Linglong disappear around the corner, Zhou Ai couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then hurried back to the house, changed into her military uniform, turned and walked out of the room.
...
When Linglong was talking with Zhou Ai, Tang Fang sent Claire away, and after lying on the bed for a few minutes, he felt a burst of warmth emanating from his chest. A stream of electric light as thin as a gossamer traveled all over the body along the meridians, and then merged into the sea of electrons around the Ipsilon rune.
"Not good!" He sat up suddenly. In an instant, there was no sleepiness at all, and I was really afraid of something. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Those epic creatures are really not good. I didn't expect that a few pieces of meat would trigger the high-energy pulse in the body.
"Emma, what's the situation, what happened just now, is it a snake?"
"Commander, after comprehensive analysis of various data, it is indeed those few pieces of snake meat that are affecting the energy level in your body."
Hearing this affirmative answer, Tang Fang felt dizzy: "If I had known it earlier, I would have vomited it out."
"Commander, you don't have to worry. Judging from the current situation, the life indicators are all normal, and the snake meat has not caused any adverse effects. On the contrary, it is beneficial."
"What do you mean?" Tang Fang was stunned for a moment: "You mean... snake meat is harmless? On the contrary, it is beneficial to the body and mind?"
"Yes, the giant snake lives by absorbing zero elements, and has accumulated a huge amount of energy in its body. Although after its death, various biological enzymes, glands and other tissues lose their activity, they cannot convert zero elements into many substances that can be used by the body. Life-sustaining, protective, and attacking substances. However, there is still a large amount of active energy in the mitochondria of the somatic cells. After entering the human stomach, under the action of pepsin, some active substances in the snake tissue cells are catalyzed, thereby releasing Excess energy in the mitochondria of the cell. So there was the scene just now."
"It's just that, what is strange is that the energy released by the giant snake's mitochondria is similar to the electrical energy in the Ipsilon human body."
"Huh?" Tang Fang couldn't help frowning. Before falling asleep, he told Emma to pay close attention to the changes in his body, fearing that there would be something abnormal. Sure enough, after lying down for a few minutes, the adverse reaction appeared. However, it wasn't diarrhea and stomach ache, and it didn't make him a family pregnant man. Instead, the snake meat became a tonic.
From the fact that the centipede monsters underground on planet 5 can rely on zero elements to fly, and the one-eyed monsters encountered on Star Nami can emit laser light, it is easy to deduce that these epic creatures that live by devouring zero elements contain powerful energy in their bodies.
However, he never expected that the manifestation of these energies would be similar to the electrical energy in the Epsilon body.
Could it be... Is there any connection between these epic creatures and the Ypsi dragons? Or, is it simply their pets, or the residents of the same planet?
No, no... Thinking of this, Tang Fang shook his head again. When he was on Nami Star, judging from the image of the one-eyed monster when he was dying, the hometown of these epic creatures had been destroyed. According to the analysis, it is far from the home planet Serepas of the Epsilon.
What the hell does this happen?
Frowning and thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the connection between the two, so he simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter what the origins of creatures like centipedes, cyclops, and giant snakes are, as long as the snake meat is harmless.
"But I don't know what happened to them?" To put it bluntly, my body is a huge energy source. This amount of electric energy is just a drop in the ocean, and throwing high-energy electrons into the sea can't even make a splash. Claire is different from Zhou Ai, they don't have Freya's strong body, nor are they like themselves. Can freely manipulate high-energy electrons.
Thinking of this, he turned over and got out of bed, and grabbed his clothes casually. He was about to go out to find the two of them. At this time, the doorbell rang. The faces of Claire and Zhou Ai appeared on the monitor screen.
"Huh..." Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But after thinking about it, the two of them came to find him together at this time, something must have happened, so they put on the general uniform and pressed the unlock button.
"Hey..." The doors retreated to both sides.
Claire and Zhou Ai walked into the room one after the other. Before Tang Fang could ask questions, Zhou Ai told the whole story of what he had just experienced.
Listen to her description. Tang Fang stepped forward and grabbed her arm, looked it over several times, but found nothing unusual. Zhou Ai's life was at stake, so he didn't dare to be careless. After discussing with the two, he immediately walked out of the room and went to find Valentine overnight.
Just because nothing can be seen on the surface does not mean that there is absolutely no problem with the body. The best way is to help Zhou Ai do a comprehensive physical examination. See if there are any hidden dangers.
The skin exudes a pink-blue light. This kind of thing is nonsense in the eyes of others, but Tang Fang doesn't think so. Freya is a good example. He still knows Zhou Ai's personality very well, and he will never exaggerate and deceive him.
On the way to find Valentine, Tang Fang asked about Claire's condition and if she felt any discomfort. The girl's answer was that everything was normal, and there was no vision like Zhou Ai's, which not only deepened Tang Fang's doubts.
About 5 minutes later, several people found Valentine in the laboratory, after Daoming came. Some older biology professors were taken aback. Before Zhou Ai sent a giant snake specimen and asked him to do genetic analysis and toxicology experiments. He studies because of his heart. She didn't ask Zhou Ai's specific purpose, and she didn't expect that she would eat such epic creatures as meat products. This is simply to die.
Of course, criticism is criticism, anger is anger, and inspections still have to be done.
Zhou Ai was scolded by Valentine for losing his temper, and the old professor did it for her own good. Thinking back on her previous reckless behavior now, she also regretted it to death.
X-ray scan, MRI, EEG, DNA identification, body fluid examination, etc. came one by one.
Soon, the multi-functional computer in the medical room gave the diagnosis answer, normal, everything is normal, all physiological indicators are within the normal range, so healthy that it cannot be any more healthy.
This puzzled the four people. Valentine believed that Zhou Ai had hallucinations due to eating unknown ingredients. After all, this kind of thing has happened many times in the field of "alien food", so it is not impossible.
After browsing through Zhou Ai's physical examination report in detail, Claire also had this suspicion. Only Tang Fang and Zhou Ai didn't think so. As the parties involved, the torture he had suffered before was still vivid in his mind. The sweat-soaked pajamas were still hanging on the bedside. If it really appeared as Valentine guessed, Hallucinations, how to explain the pajamas thing? Could it be that she wet her pajamas on purpose to fool herself?
As for Tang Fang, it was because Emma was guarding him. Even if Zhou Ai had hallucinations? Then it couldn't be that he and Emma had the same hallucinations.
To be on the safe side, he uploaded Zhou Ai's test report to the Star Track Command Center. After analysis and comparison, Emma also gave the answer "everything is normal". This can't help but make Tang Fang feel dizzy. Where did this song come from? A sci-fi version of Liaozhai? Or Inception?
4 people, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other and reciting the Neck Crooked Sutra for a long time, but they didn't discuss why. Seeing that it was past halfway through the night, Zhou Ai didn't show any discomfort. In desperation, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress his doubts and return to the living area to rest.
Fearing that Zhou Ai's illness would flare up, Claire moved in with her, while Tang Fang returned to her room to rest.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Fang was still curled up in the blanket and sleeping late. A sudden ringing of the bell woke him up. He hurriedly dressed and opened the door to see that Claire was panting and holding on to the edge of the door, coughing heavily.
Tang Fang took a look at her attire, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback. The girl was not in casual clothes, but a harsh environment protective suit.
Wearing combat uniforms on the Morningstar? Could something have happened? Tang Fang hurriedly asked why.
But it turned out that Zhou Ai remembered what happened last night, got up early in the morning, and took Claire to find Linglong for a morning run. Because of the lack of space in the Morningstar, Zhou Ai didn't like to use the fitness equipment in the training room, so he took the two of them outside for activities.
The relay station is divided into three areas: the inner ring, the outer ring, and the rudder stock. The diameter of the building alone is 550 kilometers, although Tang Fang has obtained the control of the ruins. Alien species like giant snakes and mushroom monsters have all been wiped out. However, in line with the principle of being careful and making no big mistakes, the three first changed into combat uniforms. Then start the morning run around the inner ring.
Hearing this, Tang Fang originally thought that something abnormal would appear on Zhou Ai's body next. Unexpectedly, what Claire said next surprised him. It was not Zhou Ai who was abnormal, but her. Because she was wearing protective clothing for harsh environments and the system had its own nether energy level measuring instrument, during the morning run, she inadvertently scanned the meter readings, and suddenly found that the nether energy meter value had increased by a large amount. So they bid farewell to the two immediately, and rushed back to the Morning Star to report the matter.
Speaking of which, Claire's situation has always been Tang Fang's heart disease. She can drive the thing about the harsh environment suit. There is a sense of weirdness from beginning to end. Among the few people who can drive protective clothing in harsh environments, she is neither a "fusion hybrid" like Freya, nor a "value-added hybrid" like Tang Lin, nor is she able to control the Ipsilon rune like herself .
What confuses Tang Fang the most is that when the skills produced in the system space are not normally used such as sniper killing and invisibility, the psionic energy level will slowly recover. But when it comes to Claire, the psionic energy only decreases but does not increase, that is to say, every time she uses the special ability of the bad protective clothing, the energy in her body will decrease correspondingly. and is non-renewable. To use an analogy, it is like a disposable battery.
This kind of her, coupled with the behavior of the king worm to protect the Lord automatically during the Wendenbat tragedy. Tang Fang couldn't help but be full of doubts.
One Claire is already enough to make his brain troubled, and now he adds Zhou Ai, what are you doing, fmd acting in a sci-fi thriller?
Damn it, there is a wave of ups and downs, and Zhou Ai's matter has not been figured out yet, and something is wrong with Claire again. The meat of the giant snake can actually increase her psionic level? Really think it's Tang Monk meat, is it really a pill?
"Except for the increase in the psionic energy level, how is the body? Are there any discomfort reactions?"
Claire shook her head: "Everything is normal."
Another one where everything works fine. Tang Fang is most afraid of hearing this word now, so he told him intuitively. Claire and Zhou Ai are the real time bombs, and they might explode that day. Compare the two of them. Freya is nothing more than a series of firecrackers.
But after thinking about it, Claire's reaction was reasonable. He also ate the meat of the giant snake. Emma said that the energy left in the mitochondria of the giant snake's body cells is similar to the high-energy electrons in the body of the Ipsilon. Since it can be absorbed by oneself, why can't it be absorbed by Claire.
Forget it, it’s useless to think too much, since Zhou Ai and Claire didn’t show any abnormalities in their bodies, Emma also told him that it’s fine, why bother, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. As for the snake meat, it's better to seal it up. If you can unlock genetic experts like "Izsha" and "Abasir" in the future, it won't be too late to study it carefully.
Valentine was directly ignored by him. After all, compared with the elite units of the Zerg, with the current human technology, it is far from understanding the secret of the giant snake.
Next, he first comforted Claire, and then told Valentine to leave a certain amount of research samples, and the other snake meat was transported to a warehouse in the relay station to be sealed for future needs.
In the next few days, Zhou Ai did not show the slightest abnormality. The whole thing was just like what Valentine said, everything was her hallucination.
As time passed day by day, Tang Fang gradually felt relieved, and turned all his energy to the transplant project of the universal force field generating device.
...
A week later, at 8:00 a.m. Rector time, Tang Fang woke up from a deep sleep. Before he could open his eyes, Emma sent a message: "Commander, the transplant project has ended. Ship systems are integrated."
"Finished?" He got up from the bed at once, put on his clothes in a hurry, pulled on his shoes, and hurriedly ran to the shield control room in the belly of the ship, which was converted from a power distribution cabin.
Under the construction of several people around the clock, after a week, the universal position generating device of the "Silver Wheel" was successfully transplanted into the belly of the Morning Star.
Emma has upgraded the ship shield operating system of the "Silver Wheel" to make it more energy-efficient, efficient and convenient. At the same time, a new extension system was written to accommodate plasma shields operating in a "low power" state. (to be continued)
