309: Chapter 309 The bigger the belly, the stronger the ability

Lin Fan's palm pressed against the air, feeling soft and limp, unable to push it.

There was no wind inside, no sound, absolute dead silence.

Read Taiwan novels on Taiwan Novel Network, read as you please.

If this place were used for solitary confinement, it could drive a normal person crazy in three days.

But if used as a refuge, it's an absolute match.

He tried to stretch out his leg, and as soon as he took half a step, his knee directly hit an invisible wall.

It was just enough area for one person to stand, not a bit more.

"President Su, is Lin Fan alright?" Song Ya leaned over and asked.

"Mhm." Su Qingxue's reply was somewhat cold.

Song Ya stood to the side, unconsciously rubbing her cuffs with both hands, "President Su... How about... you let him out first!"

There was undisguised worry in Song Ya's voice, "What if that space... runs out of oxygen after a long time?"

Xu Zhixia stood aside and added, "I had no problem breathing when I was inside earlier, but it's uncertain how long it can maintain that. To be safe, better not let him stay too long."

Su Qingxue did not refute.

She closed her eyes again and focused her attention on the interface in her mind.

Her perception locked onto Lin Fan's position, her right hand stretched forward, and her wrist flipped.

The air distorted for a split second.

Lin Fan appeared out of thin air in front of Su Qingxue, his feet landing firmly as he stood steadily.

"Holy shit!" Yang Ningcong shrank into the corner, his eyeballs almost popping out, "He really gave birth to him?"

"And gave birth to one this big?"

Zhou Kai glanced over, and Yang Ningcong immediately shut his mouth.

Lin Fan lowered his head to look at his hands, then moved his shoulders and knees.

There was no abnormality in his body, no different from standing in place for a few minutes.

Lin Fan raised his head and glanced at Su Qingxue.

This ability was even more stable than he expected.

There was no delay in putting things in, no loss in releasing them, and bodily functions were completely unaffected between entering and exiting.

The next question was, when did this space appear?

On the first day Su Qingxue awakened her Superpower, it was refreshing supplies.

That transparent interface, visible only to her, had existed from the very beginning.

But the function of taking living people inside was only triggered for the first time tonight.

There were two possibilities.

The space itself had the ability to store living things since the day of awakening, but Su Qingxue had never tried it, so she didn't know.

Second, as the child in Su Qingxue's belly gradually grew, her ability was upgrading synchronously.

From initially only being able to refresh inanimate supplies to now being able to accommodate living people, this was a form of ability evolution accompanying fetal development.

If it was the second one.

That meant Su Qingxue's ability had not yet reached its upper limit.

The bigger the belly, the stronger the ability.

No matter which case it was, it was good news for him.

A new card in hand.

Taking people in to avoid danger during combat, taking people in for transfer during emergency retreats, and stuffing people directly into the space when encountering irresistible attacks.

It was equivalent to gaining an invincible refuge out of thin air.

Lin Fan straightened out his thoughts.

The light of the campfire illuminated half of his face flickeringly, and he turned to look at Su Qingxue.

"Can you figure it out now?"

Su Qingxue blinked, failing to keep up with his train of thought.

"Figure what out?"

"My affair with Xu Zhixia."

Lin Fan's words were straightforward, "Without Superpowers, could you have saved Xu Zhixia?"

"Superpowers on this island are our hope for survival."

"If Xu Zhixia and Song Ya also get pregnant and awaken abilities, my enhancement can stack another two layers. Next time we encounter an attack of this scale, our chances of winning will double."

"Just now you took Xu Zhixia into the space to save her life. What was the prerequisite for this ability to awaken?"

Lin Fan answered his own question, "The prerequisite is that you are pregnant."

"Your ability comes from the child in your belly. If Xu Zhixia also takes the same path, what ability she will awaken, nobody knows."

"But with one more Superpower user, the team's probability of survival increases by a fraction."

"Me sleeping with her is not because I can't control my lower body."

"It's because we all have to leave this island alive."

Good grief.

Yang Ningcong turned his face toward the stone wall in the corner, his shoulders twitching.

He dared not laugh out loud, but he really couldn't hold it in.

Sleep with a woman, then make the woman pregnant to awaken Superpowers, then the team's combat effectiveness improves, and everyone can survive.

So according to his statement, him sleeping with women was saving the entire team.

Zhou Kai also turned his head to the side.

His lips were pressed tightly together, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

He didn't want to laugh; he was truly convinced.

If it were him saying these words, he would probably get slapped as soon as he opened his mouth.

But when Lin Fan said it... he really couldn't find a point to refute.

Yet he always felt that Lin Fan saying these words was somewhat shameless.

Su Qingxue stood in place.

She lowered her head, staring at her fingers.

She wanted to curse, she wanted to point at Lin Fan's nose and tell him that he wanted to play the saint while still acting like a whore.

But she couldn't curse out loud, because a dozen minutes ago, when that flock of Strange Birds rushed down, she had seen with her own eyes what despair was called.

Xu Zhixia almost died in front of her.

Zhou Kai's torch simply couldn't stop those things.

If Lin Fan hadn't rushed back in time, this cave entrance would have been a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood tonight.

Su Qingxue swallowed those words back and didn't speak them out.

Silence for over a dozen seconds.

She raised her head, glanced at Xu Zhixia, and then turned her face away.

"Lin Fan, let's not talk about that matter for now." Xu Zhixia pulled everyone's attention back.

"Let's talk about tonight's situation. Inside the island... what on earth is going on?"

"Mhm, alright."

"First." Lin Fan raised his head to look at the crowd, "That gray monster that took Liu Feifei away, it's a person."

The Karst Cave instantly fell silent.

"A person?" Zhou Kai frowned.

"It used to be a person, now it's a stitched-up monster." Lin Fan's tone was steady, "But its brain is still human, and we know it."

"Who?" Su Qingxue couldn't help asking.

"Chen Jian."

As these two words landed, Su Qingxue's body stiffened for a moment.

"Chen Jian?" She repeated with a frown, no wonder she felt a sense of familiarity.

"That... that good-for-nothing?" Zhou Kai spoke.

Lin Fan nodded.

"How did he become that ghostly shape?"

"I don't know." Lin Fan answered bluntly, "He didn't say, and I didn't have time to ask."

He roughly recounted the events of tonight: tracking into the woods, dense fog suddenly rising, the giant snake, Giant Lizard, and monkey troop attacking from three sides, forcing a retreat.

Finding Chen Jian and just preparing to cripple his limbs to bring him back for questioning, the monkey troop appeared a second time, white mist surged again, three crossbow bolts flew past his scalp, and Chen Jian was snatched away out of thin air just like that.

Everyone's expressions became increasingly grave.

"Crossbow bolts?" Xu Zhixia caught this detail, "Someone on the island brought a crossbow?"

Lin Fan nodded and took out the three crossbow bolts, "Judging by the manufacturing craftsmanship of these three crossbow bolts, this is definitely a product of civilized society."

"Moreover, Chen Jian once said a sentence."

Everyone looked at Lin Fan.

"He said, all of us are laboratory mice."

A single sentence silenced everyone.

"Laboratory mice." Xu Zhixia chewed on these two words, "Then who is the person feeding them."

Lin Fan raised his head, looking earnestly at everyone, "The person feeding them..."
