Chapter 346: Chapter 333 Waiting for Revival
minutes later... living room.
"Come on, come on, I didn’t even say much, what are you making a fuss about?" the nurse said, opening a beer bottle helplessly.
The postman was still not letting it go, "That’s right, you were pinned down by him at the time, you didn’t see what he looked like, he moved so smoothly and effortlessly, and his expression was like nothing was wrong. There was a moment I actually thought you were really killed. This guy is a freak!!"
He was rubbing off the blood that had just stained his baseball cap while yelling. He seemed to care a lot about this cap.
Chen Xiao was also unhappy, "You really can’t handle much, can you? She asked for help herself, what’s wrong with me lending a hand? Besides, I think I did pretty well! Look at that blood, whoosh whoosh..." Chen Xiao said, simulating the spraying blood with his hands.
"Enough already! Stop gesturing, look at all that blood splattered on you, calling you a freak is an understatement."
...
Well, as everyone can see, Chen Xiao’s ability to showcase his advantages is still so prominent. It only took such a short time for him to successfully make someone decide to keep their distance from him.
After a while, Chen Xiao didn’t want to bother with the other person anymore and turned his attention to the main issue.
"So, does your blood work on his body?" Chen Xiao asked the nurse.
By this time, the nurse’s wound had already healed perfectly, she was lazily leaning on the couch, chugging beer, "Ah, definitely effective. Actually, if we just left him here, he would heal eventually, but we have things to do next, so we can’t wait that long. Direct contact with my blood can speed up the healing about tenfold faster. Burp~~" She said, burping, as if talking about a very mundane matter.
Chen Xiao nodded.
This contrast made it clear that the Foundation’s healing serums could only prevent Bai Xiong’s body from deteriorating further, but as long as he stayed near the nurse, his injuries would gradually improve. Her blood was even capable of healing at a strength ten times greater, making her presence a slap in the face to the medical group.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao thought of a question, "Hey? So you mean, before your people go on a mission, they just need to carry a few packs of your blood, sprinkle it on themselves in a critical moment, and they become invincible?"
The nurse quickly shook her head, "Good idea, but no, when I was imprisoned at the Foundation, those people thought of using my abilities like that, but they found out that just two hours after leaving my body, my blood would lose its activity, dry up, die off, just like the blood of ordinary people. Moreover, my power requires duration, which means I can’t fix injuries that cause instant death... like if someone’s head got blown apart by a shotgun, I can’t repair that fast enough."
"I see!" Chen Xiao realized.
So, although the nurse’s ability is strong, it’s not enough to provide an "Invincible Halo"; she could prevent someone from dying from a drop of blood, but if they instantly receive fatal damage without even a chance for a drop of blood, they would still perish.
"Okay... so how long until Bai Xiong wakes up?" Chen Xiao seemed somewhat bored and asked.
"I don’t know, but he’s improving, I can feel it."
"Hmm..." Chen Xiao considered for a moment: "In that case, I think I’m not much use here, so... I’m leaving. He will contact me when he wakes up."
As he spoke, it was partly because he really had no value here, and partly because in the nurse’s chaotic home, he simply felt uncomfortable.
"Go on, get out!" the postman, apparently sick of Chen Xiao, quickly waved him off as if to shoo him away.
...
...
Silence.
Chen Xiao sat awkwardly for several minutes, seeing that no one paid him any attention.
"Hey, I said I want to go home!" he yelled at the ’postman’.
"If you want to leave, then leave. It’s not like you don’t have legs," the postman yelled back in annoyance.
"How can I leave like this? Look at all this blood!" he exclaimed, pointing at his clothes (at this moment, his bulletproof suit had been sent for repair, so he was just wearing a normal suit, without self-cleaning features). "How am I supposed to go home like this?"
"What do you mean? You expect me to..." the postman said incredulously.
"Yeah, you have to take me!"
"No way!"
...
Well... what followed was a pointless quarrel between men, let’s skip over that.
Eventually, the ’postman’ couldn’t stand Chen Xiao’s twisted logic, and begrudgingly dropped him off at a slightly concealed location on Shell Street that he had visited before. After all, with Chen Xiao looking like that walking down the street, it would definitely cause a panic, getting caught by the police would be better than getting detected by some strange device from the Foundation revealing his whereabouts.
In this context, we should also talk about the postman’s ability.
Very simple, it’s teleportation, and he can bring a few things along.
However, he cannot teleport to just any place, but only to places he has seen or can sort of picture in his mind.
For example, if he wanted to go to the ’nurse’s’ home, since he had been there before, all he needs to do is roughly describe the scene in his mind to move there, similar to how you would think of the front door of your own office, not needing any specific details, just an overview is fine.
If he wanted to go to a place he had never been before, like the bug’s nest in a previous mission, he would need a detailed image of that location; otherwise, he could not move there. Fortunately, inside the Foundation, there is a nearly all-powerful computer that, combined with A-Ming’s ability, can simulate any corner of the Earth, allowing the postman to timely arrive to save Chen Xiao’s life. Of course, you can’t just pick a place from a comic and expect him to teleport there.
Oh, and since all of the Foundation’s buildings are made from special metals, that computer can’t simulate internal scenes of the Foundation, which is why ’The Splitters’ can’t just use the postman’s ability to blitz into the Foundation’s control area and wreak havoc.
As of now, Chen Xiao could go home and do whatever he wanted, while Bai Xiong was slowly recovering under the nurse’s ’careful’ attention, and it seems everything was waiting for their meeting a week later.
