Chapter 268: Dangerous Breakthrough ( 2 )
At this moment, Jiao Lizhi had no time to worry about anything else. Chen Qianfeng's condition was critical. Based on the damage inside his body, he must have undergone the process for at least ten hours or more.
When she thought about a similar case in her previous life, she took out a handful of blue-colored crystal cores from her space.
The moment Jin Xuyan and the rest of the team arrived in the backyard, they saw her shove a handful of crystal cores into Chen Qianfeng's mouth.
"Ah Zhi!" Jin Xuyan exclaimed in surprise.
He knew how much energy was stored in a crystal core. Even eating one would harm the body, and the chance of survival was only 1%, let alone eating a handful.
Jiao Lizhi glanced at him and said, "Brother Yan, trust me."
After she finished speaking, she held Chen Qianfeng's wrist and used her own energy to guide the energy from the crystal cores to suppress the raging energy. At the same time, she started healing the internal injuries.
While everyone didn't know what was going on, they could guess that the situation was bad just from looking at their captain's expression.
Although Jin Xuyan was worried about his friend and girlfriend, he didn't dare to disturb her at this moment. One wrong step, and both of them might die from the backlash.
Standing two meters away from them, he clenched his fists tightly to stop himself from walking over.
Under everyone's gazes, Jiao Lizhi was fighting against time and trying to snatch Chen Qianfeng's life back from the gates of hell.
Fifteen minutes later, her face turned pale and her body was drenched in cold sweat. Even after using crystal cores and having a huge energy pool, using her energy to control the raging energy and heal the injuries at the same time was a heavy burden on her body.
After another ten minutes, she was finally unable to hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah Zhi!" Jin Xuyan was shocked and rushed over to catch her.
Holding his girlfriend's body, he noticed her low body temperature. Without wasting time, he quickly transferred his energy to her.
Suddenly, Chen Qianfeng coughed violently as he opened his eyes, "Cough! Cough! Cough!"
"Qianfeng!" Zhou Huajian rushed over to check on him.
After several coughs, Chen Qianfeng took a sharp breath and looked at everyone in confusion as he asked hoarsely, "What happened to me?"
Jiang Lixin squatted beside him and checked his condition. After a few minutes, she said, "Qianfeng, your body is fine, and you have broken through to level one. Congratulations."
Hearing this, Chen Qianfeng was stunned for a moment.
During his comatose state, he felt that his life was slipping away when suddenly a strong energy forcefully pulled his consciousness back. As the foreign energy circled inside his body, the pain lessened, and he was finally able to wake up.
Feeling that something had happened while he was unconscious, he turned his head only to see his captain holding his sister-in-law with a pale face.
"Captain, what's wrong with Sister-in-law?" he asked.
Jin Xuyan ignored him and focused on transferring his energy. Five minutes later, Jiao Lizhi finally opened her eyes.
Seeing this, Jin Xuyan reached out to wipe away the bloodstain on her lips and asked, "Ah Zhi, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Leaning in her boyfriend's embrace, Jiao Lizhi took several deep breaths before she said, "Brother Yan, I'm fine."
Jin Xuyan reached out and wiped away her sweat with his fingers before he said, "You are already like this and are still saying that you are fine."
The moment he finished speaking, he held her by the knees and waist. Standing up with her in his arms, he walked toward the house and asked, "Where is my room?"
Coming back to his senses, Xiao Qi quickly replied, "The master bedroom on the second floor."
Without looking back, Jin Xuyan carried his girlfriend to their room and locked the door. Standing inside the room, he said, "Take me to your space."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and entered her space with him.
Appearing inside the space, Jin Xuyan carried her to the master bedroom and placed her on the lounge chair before he went to fill up the bathtub with warm water and took out a set of clean clothes for her.
Watching her boyfriend busying around with a dark face, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Brother Yan, why are you angry?"
It would have been better if she hadn't asked. The moment she did, Jin Xuyan turned to her and asked back, "Ah Zhi, are you asking because you really don't know?"
Feeling that her boyfriend was really angry this time, Jiao Lizhi decided to shut up and let him carry her to take a bath.
Normally, when a couple takes a bath together, they would venture into the yellow area. But at this moment, Jin Xuyan was too angry to think about doing something naughty with his girlfriend.
While he was fully dressed, Jiao Lizhi was naked as she sat in the bathtub.
For someone who had experienced so many years in the apocalypse, she no longer had the naivety of a young girl. Since the two of them were in a relationship, she didn't mind him looking at her body.
She let him wash and scrub her body without saying a word. While he was clearly angry, his movements were still gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
After Jin Xuyan finished giving his girlfriend a bath and changing her clothes, most of his anger was gone. As they sat on the couch looking at each other, he let out a long sigh and pulled her into his embrace.
With his face buried in her neck, he said hoarsely, "Ah Zhi, you scared me to death." His voice was filled with grievance like a bullied little wife.
Feeling his trembling arms around her body, Jiao Lizhi finally realized why he was so angry. Reaching out, she hugged him and said, "Brother Yan, I'm sorry for scaring you."
