“In the isolation ward for the people who are awakening their powers.”
“Let’s go there and take a look,” said Lin Qiao.
Lin Hao nodded, then guided her toward the isolated area.
“You guys can head back. I’ll be careful,” Lin Qiao turned and said to Mrs. Lin. After leaving Lin Hao’s office, Lin Qiao stopped talking to Mrs. Lin about the baby, as some other people were around them.
Mrs. Lin nodded as she understood Lin Qiao’s meaning. She had no idea why the latter wanted to see the man who was triggering a new superpower, but didn’t try to interfere.
Lin Qiao gave Lin Wenwen a glance. The latter nodded knowingly, then held her mother’s hand and brought her away.
“How’s that man doing now?” Lin Qiao looked straight as she walked side by side with Lin Hao while asking the question. Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, who were guarding by the door of Lin Hao’s office, now followed behind the two of them silently.
“We brought down his fever slightly by using your lake water in these couple of days, but his body temperature is still high, nearly fifty degrees. It’s a lot better than before though. Can he really awake his power in this way? Will the lake water suppress his power?” Lin Hao looked at Lin Qiao and said uncertainly.
Some people failed to awake their superpowers because the long-lasting fever damaged their body functions. Their powers might wake up after that, but the damages that had happened to their bodies were irreversible.
When they finally attained superpowers, their bodies were already broken. Broken bodies could not withstand the energies, and would end up exploding or combusting, or ending in some other destructive states.
Recently, no new superpowered people had emerged in All Beings Base. Lin Qiao’s lake water had helped Lin Xiaolu and Ling Ling with the awakening of their superpowers by bringing down their fever and helping them wake up their powers successfully. It hadn’t been used on adults, so Lin Qiao couldn’t tell if it would help adults in the same way.
“Let’s first have a look,” said Lin Qiao.
They walked to the isolated area and saw the guards by the door, as well as a young man who was also a commoner.
Seeing Lin Qiao and the others, the young man hurriedly stood up from the chair that he was sitting in.
“Doctor Lin, ca-can he awaken his power successfully?” The young man was aware that the question he asked was actually meaningless. However, asking that question made him feel better.
Everybody knew that whether a person could successfully awaken a superpower depended on his or her body condition. No one else could help that person with it, no matter how much they wanted to.
“Let’s just wait for now. He is in a stable condition so far, and his body is working in a healthy way. There isn’t a big problem so far. Oh, are you his family?” Lin Hao comforted the young man.
“No. We looked for each other on our way here…” The young man shook his head.
Lin Hao nodded, but didn’t say anything else.
As Lin Hao stopped talking, the young man noticed the three ladies by his side.
He knew Duan Juan, but not Lin Qiao and Shen Yujen. However, as Lin Qiao was walking side by side with Lin Hao before Duan Juan, who used to be the head of the Chief’s guards in Hades Base, the young man figured that she was someone important. Therefore, he quietly stepped backward.
Lin Qiao noticed the young man’s movement, but didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, she directly walked toward the ward. The guards by the door opened the door for her while she was still at a distance away.
As Lin Qiao and her people walked into the door, the young man carefully moved up to a guard and asked with curiosity, “Is the lady beside Doctor Lin our Chief?”
The guard gave him a glance, then nodded and responded with a smile, “Yes… You are lucky to actually see our Chief.”
Hearing that, the young man popped her eyes with surprise. He had just made a guess, not expecting it to be right.
He nodded and said, “I am lucky to see our Chief indeed! She’s young…”
She looked only in her twenties.
Lin Qiao had a strong vibe. Without make-up, she now looked much younger than the old Lu Tianyu.
The isolation wards had enhanced protective provisions to prevent energy explosion. Lin Qiao and the others looked into the ward through the glass window.
“I heard that he was dying earlier. He had a bad flu and high fever, added with the fact that he was starved for days. Before arriving at our base, he had nothing but water for days. However, his power started awakening before he died. I wonder if he’s really lucky or if he was never meant to die,” Lin Hao told Lin Qiao about that man’s condition with great interests.
She stood behind the window as she slightly narrowed her eyes to observe that man. The others were only able to see the numbers on the devices, but she could see the energy flows inside the man’s body.
She saw streams of blue energy flowing all over the man’s body and gathering in his brain.
The blue energy was mixing together with a green type of energy, which was familiar to Lin Qiao. The green energy seemed to have been slowing the blue energy down. An energy nucleus hadn’t been formed in the man’s brain, but it would sooner or later. As for explosion or self-ignition, that would not happen based on the current condition of that man.
“He’s doing fine. If I’m right, he’ll have an energy nucleus in two or three days. I think his power is ice,” Lin Qiao opened her eyes and said.
“Eh? Can you see what condition he’s in? Can you even tell what type of power he will have?” Lin Hao looked at her with surprise.
“I can see the colors of energies inside the bodies of all superpowered people, including him. I, your Chief, am much more powerful than before.” While speaking, Lin Qiao abruptly turned and smilingly patted Lin Hao on his shoulder.
Lin Hao looked at her silently, without knowing what to say. Duan Juan also silently looked at her boss, who appeared to be very confident now.
Shen Yujen looked at Lin Qiao with admiration in her eyes, although she didn’t really understand what her words meant.
“Send a detailed report about his condition to my office,” Lin Qiao turned and left with Duan Juan and Shen Yujen while talking.
Now, she was sure that her lake water was highly helpful for humans, especially for the awakening of their superpowers. Thinking about that, she sighed with relief.
“Yes, ma’am!” Lin Hao responded.
As she had no more work to do in the medical department, Lin Qiao returned to the hotel. She smelled Wu Chengyue and his daughter from her office before she even walked inside.
She knitted her brows and felt her teeth start aching again.
“I understand that you don’t have a lot of work to do around here, but you don’t need always come to my office, right? Aren’t you tired?” Lin Qiao walked in and expressionlessly glanced at Wu Chengyue, who was sitting on the couch.
Wu Yueling happily rushed to Lin Qiao like always. The chubby rabbit was held in her arms.
Before Wu Chengyue raised his head and responded to her, Lin Qiao gave a glance to the rabbit in the little girl’s arms, then suddenly changed the topic, “Oh, this rabbit is fat enough. We can kill it for meat now!”
Wu Yueling paused all of a sudden.
The rabbit in her arms seemed to be shocked as well.
Wu Chengyue, who was going to talk to her, put on a speechless look on his face…
