Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 896 - 526: Rebirth

"What are you talking about..."

Behind them, a group of people looked bewildered.

"...It’s nothing, just something between the two of us." Xu Xin waved his hand to the others, but he found some relief.

At this moment, Lou Fei’Er frowned, her arm still extended into the injection device, with her other hand holding onto the table, seeming a bit unsteady on her feet.

"How are you feeling now?" Xu Xin immediately asked.

"A bit... hot..." she said, reaching up to tug at her collar, exposing a large area of pale skin.

"Ah!" Zeng Tao exclaimed, "The blood pattern on her body is gone! It’s really gone!"

Lou Fei’Er held onto the table and withdrew her arm from the device, then staggered slightly, almost falling to the ground.

Beside her, Zeng Tao quickly steadied her, then grasped her recently withdrawn arm for a closer look.

Her arm, which had been marked with blood patterns, now returned to normal, except for a small red dot on her slender, pale forearm, indicating the injection site.

"Does the gene serum work this fast?" The few people behind were somewhat surprised.

"Don’t... all inject at once..."

Lou Fei’Er leaned weakly against Zeng Tao, her complexion somewhat flushed, sweat rolling off her forehead and her brow furrowed, "I feel a bit uncomfortable now, my strength isn’t... coming out, and I don’t know how long this status will last."

Her intention was clear, she was advising everyone to perhaps continue observing her current state before proceeding with injections.

Even though it’s unlikely, should this state of weakness last for several days, everyone being like this would be too dangerous!

"Do you have any positive feelings now?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"Um... can’t feel much now, I feel, it’s like there are two people fighting inside my body... making me feel boiling all over, and as a result, my body’s strength is being rapidly consumed, I..."

As Lou Fei’Er continued speaking, her voice gradually weakened and her eyelids began to tremble.

"I feel... like sleeping..."

Qi Xuefei immediately approached her for a brief check-up, then told everyone, "She is very healthy in all respects; she’s just a bit... overworked?"

Overworked?

"...Don’t worry, it should be due to a temporary conflict between the mutated gene of your blood pattern and the gene serum." Xu Xin spoke, "As long as we get through this period, it’ll be fine."

"Ah... is that so... then I..." Lou Fei’Er exhaled a breath of hot air, her eyes slightly glazed, "Then I’ll sleep first... so tired..."

Saying this, she shut her eyes, lying fully on Zeng Tao and lost consciousness.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don’t sleep!" Zeng Tao immediately panicked, "Isn’t it the case that situations like this don’t wake up once they fall asleep? Quickly wake up!"

Qi Xuefei immediately conducted a check and then smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, she’s fine, she simply fell asleep."

"Ah? That’s good then..." Zeng Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin also felt relieved, although he never feared this serum would cause issues, Lou Fei’Er’s condition was indeed a bit frightening.

"However, the side effect is a bit strong, isn’t it?" Behind them, Wang Lei watched Lou Fei’Er, who sat leaning against the side of a treasure box with Zeng Tao for support, "We’ll still need to see how long she sleeps." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Perhaps we don’t need to worry much about this." At this point, Ji Chaoyang spoke, "Lou Fei’Er’s state is most likely, as Xu Xin just said, due to the mutated blood pattern, and for those of us without it, chances are there won’t be side effects."

"Ah, yes!"

"Let me try." Xu Xin approached the device, "This time, I’ll be the one to inject."

Even if he has any issues temporarily, he wouldn’t make mistakes on his end, especially since he has plenty of people around him, and there aren’t many he needs to take care of.

Of course, it stemmed from confidence as well; he felt that the serum wouldn’t have any side effects on him.

"...Indeed, you are the most suitable." Ji Chaoyang agreed with a nod.

Xu Xin swiftly filled the device with a new serum, then removed the steel armor from his upper body, rolled up his sleeve, inserted his arm into the device, and directly pressed the injection button.

"Ah..."

A sharp pain shot through his arm, causing his entire body to shudder, making him feel like his arm was being pierced directly, almost forcibly withdrawing his arm.

Then, immediately, he sensed something unusual in his body.

"How do you feel?"

"What’s it like, Brother Xin?"

Curious explorers gathered around him, asking questions.

"Um... a bit heated, my arm feels a bit sore, but..." Xu Xin withdrew his arm from the device, clenched his fist, "Unlike Lou Fei’Er, aside from these, there seems to be... nothing unusual."

He also tried swinging his fist.

His strength didn’t seem to grow, he didn’t detect any changes.

Wang Lei promptly clapped his hands, "Does that mean this gene serum doesn’t have side effects for us? Haha, let me be the next... huh?"

Wang Lei suddenly widened his eyes looking at Xu Xin.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Xin realized the expressions of those around him had changed, showing signs of surprise.
