She obediently got up from Shi Wanyun, standing to the side, though her mind was not at ease.
This seemed to be the first time he called her by just her name?
To Li Wenxi, Wen Guixin, Qi Xuefei, and even Li Yajun, he used more affectionate terms, but for her, it seemed he always addressed her by her full name.
Now using a more affectionate term, does it mean that even if he knows sheās no longer under control, heās already completely considered her one of his own?
Or perhaps, towards her...
Just as Lou FeiāEr was brainstorming on the side, Shi Wanyun sat up from the bed, silently looking at Xu Xin, waiting for his answer.
Xu Xin spoke: "If I told you that the substance we just talked about, the one that can eliminate the blood pattern mutation in the body, is fake, what would you do?"
"Impossible." Shi Wanyun shook her head, "It canāt be fake, not just because the blood patterns on Lou FeiāEr are gone. I can sense it; the current Lou FeiāEr is no longer the same kind as me."
"Her change is too obvious." Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin, "Otherwise, I wouldnāt have directly asked her about it just now. I trust my senses; her blood pattern mutation has indeed been cleared, and I also believe you have the ability to clear the blood pattern mutation on me."
She took a deep breath and continued, "Moreover... you probably already guessed what my situation is, right?"
"... I do have this kind of serum, but why should I give it to you?" Xu Xin sat down again.
"I said, as long as you clear my blood pattern mutation, whatever you want to know, Iāll tell you." Shi Wanyun repeated her condition.
Xu Xin waved his hand: "What you said are just empty promises. My condition is that you tell me everything first. If Iām satisfied, Iāll give you this serum."
Saying this, Xu Xin reached into his backpack and took out a bottle of serum, shaking it before her eyes: "This is what you want, the gene serum."
Seeing the gene serum, Shi Wanyunās pupils contracted, and her body moved slightly, as if instinctively wanting to snatch the serum from Xu Xinās hand, but she held back, her gaze never leaving Xu Xinās hand.
"No need to snatch it; even if you grab it, itās useless. This serum requires a special injector to be administered." Xu Xin touched her hand with the serum, "Without me, you canāt inject it."
[Gene Serum (Gold): A special serum with peculiar effects.]
What she could see in the description was the same as everyone else, almost like there was no description.
Shi Wanyun looked at the serum so close yet felt a sense of helplessness.
She sighed, handing the serum back to Xu Xin, and said, "Thereās no need to test me anymore. Right now... I wonāt, and canāt tell you the situation."
"Oh? Why? Because you were threatened that if you tell others about this, youāll leave this beautiful world?" Xu Xin retorted.
"... You already know, so why ask." Shi Wanyun turned her head away.
Just like the information about the underground world couldnāt be told to others before, is it the same case with Shi Wanyunās side?
A reasonable excuse.
However...
"This is probably just a bluff, right?" Lou FeiāEr, standing beside with arms crossed, said nonchalantly, "Until now, we havenāt seen anyone suddenly die or disappear, right?"
Xu Xin nodded.
He also believed that now, especially after experiencing the planting of the premium treehouse seeds, he was more convinced.
Those alien invaders probably couldnāt directly affect them, otherwise, if Xu Xinās side really displeased them or threatened them, wouldnāt they have just taken action to kill him?
In the end, they not only didnāt act, but also presented a seemingly exasperated situation.
So... the so-called not telling others might just be a threat.
"... No, you havenāt seen them; you donāt know them..." Shi Wanyun shook her head and then changed the subject, "Do you remember those initial activities? Those who ranked last, didnāt they all because of this..."
Ah...
Xu Xin recalled.
When first arriving in this world, the initial activities were in the form of eliminations from the bottom ranks, and those who were in the last dozens of ranks, although they did not die in the activities, disappeared from the survivors, leaving no trace.
"That was just because we were too weak at the time, easily dispatched by a few wild beasts, right?" Lou FeiāEr said dismissively, "But now, the beast tide is no longer much of a threat to us, so what are you still worried about? Or are you saying you really donāt want to tell us, and just want to trick us out of our serum?"
Shi Wanyun glanced at her, frowning: "Why do you always oppose me? If I could break free of their control, my first choice would naturally be you all."
"No, her thoughts are basically the same as mine." Xu Xin looked at her, "Youāve lied to me all the way; you donāt think a few words now will make me trust you, right?"
"I..." Shi Wanyun was at a loss for words.
"So, tell me what you know, and Iāll consider helping you."
"..." Shi Wanyun pressed her lips, "After eliminating the blood pattern mutation, my combat ability would be greatly weakened. Like that, I canāt escape your control at all; you shouldnāt worry about such a... huh?"
