90: Chapter 90 Level 3 Healing Ability

Clearly exhausted to death, yet he insisted on putting up a tsundere front.

Xiao Sinian's heart softened completely. He couldn't help but let out a light chuckle, stepped forward, and very naturally handed over the cloth bag in his hand.

"Mm, you're the best." His voice was raspy after the fierce battle, carrying a hint of irrepressible doting.

The cloth bag was heavy. Qi Yin opened it and took a look, her lips curling up involuntarily.

Over three hundred second-level crystal cores. Xiao Sinian hadn't kept a single one, giving them all to her.

He really knew the rules.

"Thanks, thanks!"

Adding in the ones she just collected, she had nearly three thousand second-level crystal cores.

This trip had been a bountiful harvest.

It was worth it!

There was still a tough battle ahead. She very generously exchanged for over a dozen more potions to help everyone recover their strength.

Of course, she hadn't forgotten the most important matter.

Wang Tianyu shouted anxiously, "Sister Yin, Yang Zi is about to lose his hold!"

At this moment, the arm where Wen Yang had been scratched by a zombie was so deep that the bone was visible. Cold sweat kept dripping, and his eyes began to grow hazy.

Wang Tianyu's healing ability was clearly only enough to keep him alive. Right now, the only thing that could deal with the Second-level Zombie virus was her spiritual spring water.

The RV appeared before everyone again, and Qi Yin hoisted Wen Yang up.

Seeing this, Xiao Sinian frowned slightly. "Let me."

For some reason, Qi Yin subconsciously handed the person over to him.

Inside the RV, she quickly filled the bathtub with spiritual spring water. A reassuring energy was released from the tranquil surface, soothing some of Wen Yang's discomfort.

"Put him in, especially the injured parts—soak them all."

spiritual spring water could rapidly neutralize the zombie virus and stop it from spreading. The life energy contained within also promoted cell regeneration, greatly shortening the wound healing time.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Sinian put Wen Yang into the bathtub, the cold sweat on the latter's forehead slowly disappeared, and his complexion looked much better.

However, with such a large quantity of divine water, he wasn't sure if it would have any impact on Qi Yin.

"Releasing so much water at once—does it affect your body?" he asked with a somber face.

Qi Yin was stunned. What kind of question was this? Did Xiao Sinian think the spiritual spring water was some kind of limited edition?

"No, I have plenty of this stuff. Just say the word whenever you want to use it."

They usually just drank it as water, okay?

Hearing this, Xiao Sinian also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was harmless to her, it was fine.

"This thing is too miraculous. In the future, it's better not to take it out casually. If people find out, it will bring trouble."

Trouble? She had never been afraid of trouble.

Not to brag, but at this point in time, there really weren't many who could defeat a Level Four Ability User.

Moreover, her secret had only been revealed to Xiao Sinian, an outsider.

"What about you? Will you backstab me?"

Xiao Sinian immediately stood up straight, his expression serious and anxious as he promptly held up three fingers.

"I swear on my life that Xiao Sinian will never betray Qi Yin in this lifetime. Otherwise, let me not die a..."

Before he could finish, a fair little hand slapped onto his face mask.

"Don't go making oaths haphazardly. Careful of being struck by lightning."

Perhaps because the culprit behind the wound was a Second-level Zombie, Wen Yang's recovery speed was still relatively slow, but they couldn't just keep wasting time here.

No, she had to think of a way.

With a flash of inspiration, Qi Yin hauled Wang Tianyu inside.

A second-level crystal core appeared in her palm. Qi Yin raised an eyebrow. "Try and see if you can purify a second-level crystal core now?"

Since she could level up, it proved that today's high-intensity combat was useful. Wang Tianyu's ability should logically have improved as well.

The blue crystal core shimmered in her hand, mixed with a thick black aura.

"I'll try."

He had only purified first-level crystal cores before. He wasn't sure if the healing-type purification ability was effective on second-level crystal cores.

The most critical point was that Wen Yang might not be able to wait.

"Give it your all. If your energy is drained, I'll replenish it for you. Yang Zi's life is in your hands." Qi Yin was very generous.

Under safe conditions, draining one's ability wasn't a bad thing. Instead, it would become even more powerful the next time it condensed.

Wang Tianyu was obedient. A sun-like radiance erupted from his hands, tightly surrounding that second-level crystal core.

His face instantly turned deathly pale, not much different from the zombies outside.

The people outside the RV watched as time passed minute by minute, pacing around in anxiety.

"I don't know how Yang Zi is doing. It's all my fault. If he hadn't tried to save me, how could he have gotten hurt?" Lu Jinwen was full of self-reproach.

Lu Yanxiu patted her shoulder. "What are you saying? We'll all be fine."

The inside of the Constant Temperature Suit was soaked with sweat, but when Wang Tianyu opened his eyes, the excitement within was self-evident.

Qi Yin knew he had succeeded.

He opened his palm, where a crystal-clear core emitting a gentle blue light lay.

He was so excited his words were incoherent. "Not only did I succeed, Sister Yin... I feel like my ability... seems to have leveled up."

Qi Yin took the pure second-level crystal core, her lips curling into an imperceptible, slightly mischievous smile.

"Mm-hmm, not bad. Quickly use it on Yang Zi."

The pure energy was guided into Wen Yang's body. Coupled with Wang Tianyu's newly upgraded Level Three healing ability, the greenish-black color at the wound receded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

New flesh began to grow, and Wen Yang's breathing became steady.

Her smug little look didn't escape Xiao Sinian's eyes. He approached and bumped her arm.

"You had other ways, didn't you?" It wasn't a question, but a statement.

Qi Yin raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.

She naturally had a backup plan. Although the Doomsday Mall's crystal core purification service was deathly expensive, it could indeed save lives at critical moments.

She just wanted to push Wang Tianyu a bit, to see if someone who diligently practiced their ability could break through that barrier at a time like this.

From the looks of it now, the effect was excellent.

With Wen Yang out of danger, Qi Yin breathed a sigh of relief and gulped down a large bottle of water.

"Refreshing."

The spiritual spring water not only had amazing effects but also unexpectedly suited her taste. Ever since she had the spiritual spring water, she couldn't remember how long it had been since she'd drunk ordinary water.

Looking at her expression of having everything under control, a complex emotion inexplicably surged in Xiao Sinian's heart.

Capable people were emerging around her, each with startling potential. By comparison, his two months of hard work didn't seem like much.

Xiao Sinian suddenly snapped out of it. What was he thinking just now? How could he feel a subtle sense of crisis?

With a self-deprecating laugh, he walked to Qi Yin's side and asked seemingly casually, "Your ability leveled up so quickly—is it also because of purified crystal cores?"

After all, crystal cores just dug out couldn't be used casually; he knew that from experience.

Hearing this, Qi Yin nodded subconsciously.

"Yeah, zombie crystal cores have viruses. If used directly, they'll cause serious sequelae."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly realized and turned to look at Xiao Sinian!

Right, how had she not thought of it? Xiao Sinian's ability was now only one step away from reaching Level Four. How could this speed be anything but terrifying?

But where did he get pure crystal cores to level up? Could it be that he...

A startling conjecture surfaced in her mind...
