Chapter 15

The cicada chirping outside rose and fell, resonating with the air conditioner in the room, signaling the start of a scorching day. The summer Lin Fei was familiar with had begun.

A sudden cicada chirp rang out, then weakened, the sound waves undulating continuously.

In the sweltering summer, he lost himself over and over again.

At this moment, Lin Fei was staring intently at the TV. The host was vividly narrating the latest news, which was about an accident that happened yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, several long-distance whaling ships were illegally whaling when they were suddenly attacked by dozens of dolphins that appeared out of nowhere. These dolphins could manipulate seawater, instantly creating a massive wave that capsized a small whaling ship. Then, about twenty whales attacked the remaining whaling ships. Each whale was at least three times larger than usual and incredibly powerful, destroying all the ships in a short time.

The TV then broadcast some video clips from the whaling ships, showing a spectacular scene of the massive whales leaping out of the sea and slamming down onto the whaling ships.

The host spoke with great enthusiasm, captivating the audience. However, Lin Fei thought to himself, "It seems the animals in the sea have awakened. Humans will have a tough time from now on. But those whaling ships were also at fault. Whales are almost extinct, and they still wouldn't let them be. It seems that what goes around comes around!"

"The authorities of multiple countries have urgently notified their long-distance ships to refrain from any rash actions and wait for the investigation to be completed before setting sail."

"If they insist on sailing, they will bear all the consequences."

The host continued, "For the safety of the fishermen's lives and property, the fisheries department of our country has banned the long-distance fleet from sailing. If any fishing company disregards the safety of the crew and sails privately, they will have their business licenses revoked upon discovery."

The government of Huaguo was as tough as ever!

Lin Fei fully supported this ban. Before the situation was clear, rashly setting sail could lead to shipwrecks and loss of life. Even if the big bosses were pained by the losses from the suspension, they shouldn't risk human lives.

Lin Fei took out his phone and checked the news. As expected, it was all about the whaling ship incident. Some articles analyzed that this was not an isolated case and that the sea would become even more mysterious and dangerous in the future.

The ocean is much larger than the land and has more resources. Anyone who knows a bit about the situation understands that the number of awakened creatures in the ocean will far exceed those on land, and the danger will increase dramatically.

"Alright! Let's not think about these things for now. I should consider what to have for lunch," Lin Fei thought.

Unconsciously, it was already past eleven, and it was time for lunch. After some thought, Lin Fei decided to try the wild boar meat from the dimensional space. After all, this was the first time he was eating meat from a creature with special abilities.

"Don't disappoint me!" Lin Fei thought as he went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. He decided to have grilled meat for lunch.

Lin Fei put on an apron and started preparing the ingredients. He took out a large piece of frozen boar's front leg from the dimensional space and waved his hand, instantly thawing the ice around it.

With a few swift cuts, he sliced off several large pieces of meat, then put the remaining leg back into the dimensional space and sliced the pieces into thin strips.

After handling the boar meat, Lin Fei took out fresh green peppers, fish tofu, potato slices, rice cakes, lettuce, enoki mushrooms, lotus root, and eggplant from the dimensional space.

He washed the vegetables and arranged them on plates, then took out a home barbecue grill he had bought online.

Lin Fei set up the grill, added some smokeless charcoal, and snapped his fingers. Several small flames appeared, instantly igniting the charcoal.

He placed the grill rack on top and brushed it with vegetable oil. Then, he placed a few slices of wild boar meat on it. The sizzling sound of the fat burning was so pleasant!

After a while, Lin Fei saw that the meat was almost done. He picked up a slice, blew on it, and put it in his mouth. It was tender and juicy, requiring only a little salt for seasoning. No spices were needed; the original flavor was perfect.

Delicious, much better than ordinary meat. As he ate, the meat's energy was absorbed by his body, spreading a warm feeling throughout. The energy he had consumed to open the dimensional space was slowly recovering.

"This meat has such an effect! Although the amount of energy in it isn't much," Lin Fei marveled.

Lin Fei kept flipping and eating the meat, but suddenly he paused, feeling something was missing.

"How could I forget this!" Lin Fei got up, opened the fridge, and took out a bottle of cola, pouring himself a full glass.

"Glug! Glug!" Lin Fei drank half the glass in one go.

"Not cold enough!"

Coldness emanated from his right hand, instantly cooling the cola in the glass.

He took another sip. "Comfortable, this temperature is just right."

Lin Fei continued to enjoy his meal.

At the Rongcheng Ability Management and Medical Center, Xie Yurong was recuperating in a special ward. She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, her face still somewhat pale. She was listening to the doctor's report on her physical examination, given by the female medical officer who had taken her for the checkup.

"Director, we have conducted a comprehensive examination of you and found no aftereffects. You are in very good health. Your current weakness is due to fatigue, and you will be fine after a few days of rest," the young doctor said.

"Xiaohua, thank you for your hard work," Xie Yurong smiled.

"It's not hard at all. This is what I should do. Director, you are the one who has worked hard!" It seemed that Xiaohua was a big fan of Xie Yurong, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

After the young doctor left, Xie Yurong leaned back against the headboard, her right hand reaching under her clothes to touch her smooth, delicate abdomen. No one would believe that there had been a bloody, life-threatening wound there before. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed it either.

"I didn't expect his healing ability to be so powerful. In such a short time, he not only brought me back from the brink of death but also healed all the hidden injuries I had from previous battles."

"Chen Qun and Chen Shu said that he instantly killed two green wolves as soon as he appeared. His strength is truly remarkable!" Xie Yurong murmured to herself, "If only he could join the Ninth Bureau."

"Ice, fire, healing—do you have any other abilities besides these?"

"I must find a way to get him to join the Ninth Bureau. It would be a waste for such powerful abilities to remain in the civilian world." Xie Yurong made up her mind.

"Strange, why do my ears suddenly feel hot? Is someone thinking about me?" Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, touched his red, hot ears.

He casually released a bit of coldness to cool his ears down.

He took a bite of the ice cream in his left hand. It was so cold, so sweet, and so refreshing. This is the life I enjoy!
