Chen Mo leaned outside the door and smoked half a pack of cigarettes. There were crushed cigarette butts at his feet.
He felt as if he had returned to the time when the apocalypse first broke out. He was terrified and restless, and the days were counting the seconds. There are fewer and fewer people around, but more and more mutant beasts. At first, when I saw bloodstains and minced meat all over the street, I would feel palpitations in my heart. I would imagine if one of the bones belonged to someone I knew well, and whether I would one day be torn apart and devoured by mutant beasts.
But when all this became the main theme of the entire world, he began to feel numb to the dead.
??Every person who has struggled to survive since the outbreak of the apocalypse has lost too many things, and the only thing gained may be strength. It is not so much the end of the world as it is a comprehensive deprivation of human spiritual and material wealth. In the face of these losses, sometimes life is not the first priority.
The same goes for Chen Mo. From an ordinary college student to the current ability user, he gained strength, but also lost a lot
At this time, listening to Qianqiong's screams of extreme pain inside, Chen Mo's eyes seemed to reappear in front of his eyes, the classmates who had fallen around him one by one when he had just escaped from the college. Under the fast and violent attacks of the mutant beasts, they had no power to fight back. Chen Mo even saw with his own eyes a usually docile and well-behaved puppy in the college, with a pair of blood-red eyes open, using its sharp claws and fangs to tear open the chest and abdomen of one of his classmates, drag out his intestines, and smash Broken his insides.
During this process, the classmate still hadn't breathed his last, his body was twitching instinctively, and the face turned to Chen Mo was completely distorted. Only his eyes, which were as gray as ashes, showed deep despair, and they kept staring at him. With Chen Mo
However, Chen Mo, who had just learned the ability, was powerless to do anything except self-protection.
That was when the end of the world had just begun, and all moral concepts were still in the peaceful era, not like they are now, where everything is based on one's own survival. The classmate's eyes were filled with strong condemnation, which made Chen Mo's heart feel like a heavy blow.
In the process of escaping with his classmates, what Chen Mo experienced was the deep feeling of powerlessness as he watched the people around him being torn apart one by one, but he was powerless. From the earliest guilt and self-blame to the later habituation and even wise self-preservation, the change in this process cannot be reversed by human beings, but is caused by the environment. All Chen Mo could do was to keep his last point.
But at this moment, standing outside Cangqiong¡¯s room, Chen Mo once again experienced that feeling of powerlessness.
The price you need to pay to become stronger is actually far more than what you see on the surface
After three full hours, Cang Qiong¡¯s door finally opened, but when Chen Mo turned around and saw Cang Qiong, he was still stunned for a moment.
At this time, Cang Qiong's face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was still shaking uncontrollably, but his eyes had returned to calmness, and his mental state seemed to have returned to normal.
"I" After Chen Mo entered the door, a smile suddenly appeared on Cang Qiong's face, and then he clenched his fist suddenly, moved forward, and appeared in front of Chen Mo almost in the blink of an eye, punching Chen Mo Smashed over.
As Cang Qiong, who wins with speed and superb killing skills, he is not actually the type who relies on strength to fight hand-to-hand. But when the punch hit his face, Chen Mo suddenly felt a hint of crisis and a strong pressure. .
He deployed the Shinra Tensei Force Field with almost no hesitation. Twenty percent of the Shinra Tensei Force Field could actually bounce the sky away the moment it was deployed. But what surprised Chen Mo was that when Shinra Tianzheng's force field opened, not only was the sky not bounced away, but he roared low and accelerated his fist speed.
"Bang!" This punch directly hit the invisible force field of Shinra Tianzheng, and then the sky was directly ejected by the powerful repulsion, but it landed safely and lightly with its excellent skills.
Chen Mo suddenly showed an expression of extreme surprise. Although he did not fight back, the powerful repulsion of Shenluo Tianzheng used offense as defense, and its strength should not be underestimated. But this punch hit Chen Mo in front of the door. Although Chen Mo was not hurt, Chen Mo actually felt a slight fluctuation in the force field.
"Only one punch." Cang Qiong slowly stood up straight, his voice a little weak, "I only have the ability to punch this one now. The actual changes brought about by the blood beads will not be seen until tomorrow."
Chen Mo's expression gradually returned to calm, and then he showed a smile: "Congratulations."
"It's just that all the blood beads were spent on me." After Chen Mo sat down, Cangqiong smiled and said, "Based on this situation, everyone will probably die in three days."By swallowing fifty blood beads, your physical strength and combat ability will be greatly improved. But the pain is unimaginable, and I believe there is a certain chance of failure. If I couldn't bear it just now I would probably lose my mind completely. Moreover, the more blood beads you eat, the greater the risk, but after you survive it, the improvement will be greater. I think if I am willing to take this risk, they must be willing too. The only one who is not sure is Song Ling. "
Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Now that Su Yuchen is here, we only need to spare a dozen or so blood beads, and the rest will be left to you. As for Song Ling, if she doesn't want to, you can actually keep her here." In Zhongjing, this is a survivor camp after all, and the order is very good." Seeing Cang Qiong nodding, Chen Mo added, "It's just a pity, I don't know if there is a way to turn you into ability users"
"No need to force it. In fact, although I don't have the ability now, with the improvement of blood beads and my own fighting skills, I may not hold you back." Cang Qiong showed a faint smile and punched Chen Mo. on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, Song Ling is pretty good-looking. Are you sure you're not interested? I think she is quite interesting to you."
Hearing what Cang Qiong said, Chen Mo was immediately speechless. It took him a long time to say, "When did Brother Cang Qiong learn to make such a joke"
"Hahaha, it's okay, I'm in a good mood, don't worry"
While chatting with Cang Qiong, Chen Mo also asked about the survival law system Xucai in his mind, but the answer he got was very disappointing. The birth of ability users is based on the emergence of mutant beasts. When the number or combat power of mutant beasts does not exceed the false threshold of the survival law system, new ability users will not be selected.
But then the system¡¯s vain words made Chen Mo¡¯s eyes light up slightly.
"It is not ruled out that the combat effectiveness of an ordinary human being can reach the expected value of the survival law system, and thereby obtain system certification and recognition."
ps: I recommend a book called Seedlings to my friends who are in the book world - I am in charge of the catastrophe. If you don¡¯t want to die, don¡¯t mess with me!
