The temporary medical station where Liu Miaomiao was located was quite different from the others.

The other medical stations were all white, but this one was lush with greenery; all kinds of potted plants nearly surrounded the entire area.

Military trucks were even making special deliveries of new potted plants. Of course, they also brought critically ill patients—the kind who might not survive even after being placed in a medical pod.

As soon as these people arrived, Liu Miaomiao would immediately use her Life Control Superpower, extracting Life Force from the surrounding plants and infusing it into the patients.

However, this was different from how she usually used her Superpower. This time, Liu Miaomiao wasn’t drawing from a single source; instead, she was pulling a little Life Force from every single plant.

This way, after a portion of their Life Force was taken, the transported plants would only look a little wilted instead of withering away completely.

Once this batch of plants had wilted to a certain degree, the soldiers would take them back to a nursery and replace them with a fresh batch.

Lin Xinghai also noticed that Liu Miaomiao wasn’t healing the patients completely. Instead, she would infuse just enough Life Force into the critically ill to pull them back from death’s door. The rest could be left to the medical team.

This way, she could use the limited energy from her Superpower to save more people.

"Ah Xing!" Liu Miaomiao called out as soon as she saw Lin Xinghai, having just pulled a critically injured patient back from the brink of death.

"Nice work!" Lin Xinghai praised her, then asked curiously, "How did you manage this? I mean, getting the military to help you move all these plants over."

"When I came out, I brought two potted plants with me. I happened to run into a critically injured patient and intervened to save them."

At this, Liu Miaomiao looked a little embarrassed. "But I only had two plants back then, so I drained all of their Life Force. They withered instantly."

"The medics saw my Superpower, and after a brief discussion, we came up with this plan. The military provides the plants, and I use my Superpower to treat the injured."

After briefly explaining the situation, Liu Miaomiao returned to her work. Lin Xinghai didn’t disturb her, just watched quietly from the side.

Liu Miaomiao continued working for over an hour before the number of incoming critically ill patients finally began to decrease.

It was worth noting that during that hour, two military officers had come looking for Liu Miaomiao.

The first was, of course, the commanding officer of the medical teams. Given what was happening, it was only natural for him to come and assess the situation.

After a few questions, he didn’t say much, simply offering thanks on behalf of the medical team before leaving.

But it wasn’t long before an acquaintance of Lin Xinghai’s arrived: Zhang Yue.

"Director Zhang, what brings you all the way out here with so much time on your hands?" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but tease.

’After all, with Zhang Yue’s rank and status, he has plenty of responsibilities. He wouldn’t normally show up at a place like a medical station, so there can only be one reason he’s here now...’

Sure enough, Zhang Yue said irritably, "Who else would it be for?"

After saying that, his expression turned serious. He pointed at Liu Miaomiao and asked, "Before we continue, I need to confirm something. What exactly is your relationship with her?"

"We’re a couple," Lin Xinghai stated plainly.

Liu Miaomiao, who had been eavesdropping from the side, instantly flushed a deep crimson that spread all the way to the tips of her ears.

She and Lin Xinghai hadn’t actually established any kind of official relationship, but right now, she only felt a shy embarrassment and didn’t offer any rebuttal.

Zhang Yue’s face immediately took on an "I knew it" expression.

’He’d already investigated before coming here. This woman, Liu Miaomiao, was actually living with Lin Xinghai. He wouldn’t have believed they weren’t involved for a second.’

"Now that that’s cleared up, we can get to the point," he said. "It’s like this: your girlfriend’s Superpower is a perfect fit for the military’s medical corps, so we’d like to invite her to join."

"Of course, you can rest assured that her compensation package will be better than what Mercenaries get, not worse. And if you want, her work schedule can be flexible. In short, everything is negotiable."

Normally, inviting someone to join the military was not a task that required a colonel like him. The problem was, when the medical team uploaded this intelligence, its priority Level was immediately raised by two tiers because it involved the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and Lin Xinghai.

The news even reached Elder Wei, and ultimately, the task of extending the invitation fell to him.

Lin Xinghai fell silent for a moment after hearing Zhang Yue’s words, then shook his head. "She won’t be joining the army."

Zhang Yue immediately grew anxious. The medical corps was desperately short on healing-type Superpower Users, especially one like Liu Miaomiao, whose Superpower could practically bring the dead back to life. On the battlefield, there was no telling how many people she could save.

However, before he could open his mouth, Lin Xinghai continued, "Liu Miaomiao won’t be staying with the Mercenary Corps in the future, either. I intend for her to join the ’Seed Plan’ with me."

Zhang Yue’s expression immediately turned strange. "Ahem! Ah Xing, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the Seed Plan?"

The selection process for the Seed Plan was extraordinarily strict. Geniuses generally weren’t even qualified to join, because they only recruited Demons.

"Of course I know what the Seed Plan is." Lin Xinghai nodded. He no longer planned to hide Liu Miaomiao’s talent; he was now strong enough to protect her.

"Liu Miaomiao has an A Level Genetic Assessment." Lin Xinghai’s very first sentence made Zhang Yue’s eyes go wide.

An A Level Genetic Assessment was exceptionally rare in a medium-sized Shelter like theirs.

He thought for a moment but still shook his head. ’An A Level Genetic Assessment only qualifies as genius level. That alone is probably not enough to get into the Seed Plan.’

Before he could speak, he heard Lin Xinghai continue, "On top of that, Liu Miaomiao has awakened a Special Physique: the Wood Element Affinity Physique. It increases the power of her Wood Element Superpower by 50% and can weaken other Wood Element Superpowers by half."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue’s expression began to turn serious. An A Level Genetic Assessor who had also awakened a Special Physique—especially one as potent as the Wood Element Affinity Physique—was already bordering on the level of a Demon.

But Lin Xinghai clearly wasn’t finished. He continued, "Of course, in my opinion, Liu Miaomiao’s greatest strength is her Superpower."

"Oh, right. I forgot to mention, Miaomiao’s Superpower isn’t purely for healing. Its name is Life Control. To put it simply, it’s control over Life Force."

Upon hearing the phrase "control over Life Force," Zhang Yue’s pupils contracted slightly as a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

Then, Lin Xinghai’s somewhat ethereal voice drifted into his ears.

"Whether they’re plants, animals, Zombies, or... humans. Miaomiao can use her Superpower to control their Life Force."
