"Chen Xiao! Xiao Wu! How are you?!" Xu Ershao tried to help Chen Xiao sit up, but Chen Xiao screamed, "Ah!! No! Don't touch me! Xiao Xu, don't fucking touch me! My ribs are broken! Don't touch me..."
Catching his breath, Chen Xiao forced a smile and said, "This woman... her abilities are now reduced to those of an ordinary woman! Xiao Xu... I've done everything I could... I'm so tired now, I have no strength left... I'm leaving her in your hands! You can't even handle a weak woman, can you...?"
At this point, he rolled his eyes and said, "I can't... I'm too tired, I... I need to sleep... sleep..."
He had just closed his eyes when he suddenly whispered, "Xiao Xu... do me a favor... help me..."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Young Master Xu quickly and nervously pressed his ear to the screen.
"That needle in her arm... pull it out... prick me... quick..."
Telekinesis?
This seems like a pretty good superpower... I wonder if I can "digest" it...
Xu Ershao was stunned as he stared at Chen Xiao, who had already fainted.
Remove the needle? Prick him?
Holy crap, that's an outrageous request!
However, at this moment, Xu Ershao was completely convinced of Chen Xiao's abilities. He did not dare to hesitate and found a thin needle on Monica's arm. He carefully pulled it out—the needle tip still had Monica's blood on it.
I glanced at Chen Xiao... Uh, do I really have to get it done?
Walking to Chen Xiao's side, Xu Ershao took a deep breath, pointed at his arm, and then his fingers fell...
Chapter 86 [Innate Superpowers?]
Fortunately, the villa on the island had some medical supplies; at least some essential medicines and first-aid kits were definitely stocked. Although Young Master Xu didn't know how to treat injuries, after reviving Xiao Qing, his long-term martial arts training gave him some experience in treating external wounds…
Well, this so-called "insight" is: Chen Xiao was wrapped up like a rice dumpling with a hemostatic bandage.
In addition, there is another surprise:
In the top-floor room of the villa at the very edge, three people were found in the bathtub of Xu Ershao's bathroom...
To be precise, it was three and a half people!
Lu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Jin, and the two security guards who went missing on the island. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Jin, and a security guard surnamed Wang are still alive, though they have been knocked unconscious.
The other person was unfortunate... He died, and only half of his body remained, probably used by Monica to feed the "owls"!
It's conceivable that if Chen Xiao and his group hadn't managed to kill Monica, Lu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Jin would have eventually become "Owl's" prey.
Of course, those "owls" will eventually become food for the owl bear.
Chen Xiao's injuries were extremely serious, but fortunately, Xu Ershao was very clever. The next day, after someone arrived on the island, he immediately contacted the outside world. The first place Xu Ershao contacted wasn't the police, but... the abandoned street!
Old Tian arrived in less than an hour!
To Chen Xiao's surprise... this place is a full 100 kilometers away from K City!
But Lao Tian didn't come by car! It seems he... came on foot?
One hundred kilometers! Only one hour!!
After glancing at Chen Xiao, Lao Tian's tense expression immediately relaxed: "Hmm. It's alright, as long as he's keeping a breath... Also, his limbs can't be too badly damaged, otherwise..."
At this point, Lao Tian suddenly cried out, his relaxed expression turning into one of intense pain!
"Damn it! Such a severe injury, how much cell repair fluid will it take to use?! This stuff is more expensive than gold! We old guys have spent our life savings on this stuff! This kid hasn't even made a few deals! He's already bankrupted us with just the cell repair fluid!"
Then, Xu Ershao stared dumbfounded at Lao Tian, hoisted Chen Xiao onto his back, and quickly left...
Uh... he's not planning to run all the way back to K City like this, is he?! That's over 100 kilometers! And he's carrying someone on his back?!
The scariest thing is that Lao Tian sped away, only to come running back a few minutes later!
"Xu family brat, handle things on the island. If you don't know how, let your father handle it. He knows what to do... Also, that owl bear isn't dead, is it? Sneak it back to us! Remember that!"
Then, waving his hand, he grabbed one person and sped off. Xu Ershao estimated that Lao Tian's running speed wasn't much slower than his new sports car, which he had just ordered from Italy…
Chen Xiao herself couldn't remember how many times she had climbed out of the bathtub filled with green, viscous liquid.
However, this time, his body was severely damaged, and even with the help of cell repair fluid, it took him a full five days to wake up.
The first thing I saw when I woke up was Lao Tian.
Old Tian was sitting right next to the bathtub, a lit cigarette between his fingers, looking at Chen Xiao in the tub with a strange expression.
After Chen Xiao woke up, the two looked at each other for a while. Chen Xiao's first words were: "Old Tian, I remember you said you had quit smoking several times, right?"
Old Tian sneered twice and, quite shamelessly, casually tossed the cigarette butt into the bathtub.
"Kid, the first piece of good news is that you're still alive," Old Tian sighed helplessly.
"You're sighing? Then it seems there's more bad news?" Chen Xiao, soaking in the viscous green liquid, adjusted himself into a comfortable position, almost as if he were actually taking a bath, and looked up at Lao Tian.
"Three pieces of news." Old Tian held up three fingers: "Some are good, some are bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's start with the bad," Chen Xiao said calmly, seemingly without a trace of worry. "I always like to prepare myself mentally first. I bear the bad first, and then listen to the good. That way, I can maintain a good mood."
"Bad news?" Old Tian's eyes darted around, his smile seemingly harmless. "The first piece of bad news is that your body has undergone further changes. Based on my observations... it seems your body is mutating on its own and producing antibodies. Therefore, the cell repair fluid seems to be having less and less effect on your body! For example, this time, the severity of your injury may not have been greater than the last time, but it consumed almost twice as much cell repair fluid! Moreover, it took you a full day to wake up! In other words, your body has begun to reject the cell repair fluid! If you suffer this kind of injury again in the future... it won't be so easy for you to recover!"
Chen Xiao remained lying in the bathtub, naked but showing no embarrassment whatsoever. He even touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "This is indeed bad news... It seems like I've been getting hurt ever since I met you guys. Hmm, you said this is the first piece of bad news, so does that mean there's more than one?"
"The second piece of bad news is... because you were injured so many times, you consumed a lot of cell repair fluid, so... just treating your injuries has already cost an astronomical sum! You should understand that we're in business, and although you're one of us and you're entitled to company-funded medical care, even the most generous company can't provide unlimited company-funded medical care for its employees, right? Besides, you weren't injured while on official business this time."
