Chapter 14: Hunger

In the evening, Xiang Kun received a WeChat message from Chang Bin asking about the meeting.

Naturally, he said that the conversation was good, and he went back to continue to dig deeper.

However, Chang Bin still talked to him fiercely after knowing that Xiang Kun had moved the evening meeting to the afternoon, did not invite Tang Baona to dinner, and did not have any follow-up arrangements, and went home separately at five o'clock.

Later, Chang Bin sent a WeChat message again, saying that he had learned about it through Wang Han, and the girl's impression of Xiang Kun seemed to be good, thinking that he was "humorous", "very interesting", and "can be friends first".

Chang Bin said that this sounds very dramatic, let him take the initiative, talk more, make more appointments, and meet more.

Xiang Kun naturally agreed, but in his heart, he felt that this should just be Tang Baona's euphemistic refusal, which meant that Xiang Kun was more suitable to be a friend - of course, this was also in line with his wishes.

After that, for three days, Xiang Kun and Tang Baona had no contact, and they still spent more time in the gym during the day and visual and lung capacity training at night.

Xiang Kun's first blood drink was on July 14, and the second time was on July 17, three days apart.

Now, six days have passed since he drank rabbit blood on July 17, and he still doesn't feel a little sleepy or hungry.

In the past six days, he has not eaten anything other than some pure water, but he has exercised a lot every day.

He didn't know when the next time he drank blood would come.

The first two times he drank blood, he only began to feel a strong hunger after seeing the blood, but this time he hoped to wait until his body took the initiative to "send out" that need, and also let him know how long he could keep it after drinking blood once.

Now that the remaining rabbits have been raised by him for nothing, and he has run to the supermarket to buy food for the rabbits, he is really about to become a "shovel officer".

I just hope to finish this blood drink before I move.

On the evening of the 23rd, when Xiang Kun was practicing his eyesight, he suddenly received Tang Baona's WeChat.

"Saitama-sensei, are you there?"

"Saitama Sensei" is the nickname that Tang Baona jokingly gave him when she mentioned "One Punch Man" that day.

Xiang Kun thought about it and replied with a simple word - "in".

"What are you doing? Do you want to come out for a barbecue?"

Eat something or something...... Nature is impossible.

Xiang Kun was about to find an excuse to shirk it, when suddenly his tongue was full of words, and a sudden feeling of hunger surged from the bottom of his heart.

Here it comes!

Since the mutation, this is the first time that Xiang Kun has a feeling of hunger before he sees blood, and he doesn't care about any excuses, so he directly replied, "I'm sorry I can't go because of something", threw the phone aside, and began to sit in front of the computer, opened the document to record the line, and opened the time keeping software for timing.

He wanted to see what kind of effect this hunger would have on him, and what other changes would have over time.

The first two times he drank blood, and the first time he went to the vegetable market to buy chicken, he remembered the whole process very clearly, but he had a feeling that his body was "making his own decisions".

The second time I drank rabbit blood at home, I felt much better.

He wondered if the difference was just because it was the first time in the vegetable market, or was his need for blood stronger in the vegetable market?

This is also a question that needs to be verified.

After taking notes, Xiang Kun sat cross-legged on the bed and began to seriously feel the changes in his body.

Generally speaking, when people feel hungry, they start in the abdomen, starting from the contractions after the stomach is empty.

But the hunger that Xiang Kun feels now does not come from the abdomen or stomach, but more like it comes from the depths of consciousness, from every organ and every cell in the body.

I felt it, and the strength of my body didn't seem to drop much, but it didn't weaken my limbs when I was hungry like ordinary people.

But with the hunger pangs distracting him, it was hard for him to concentrate on what he was doing.

Time passed little by little, and from 9:08 p.m., he began to feel that hunger, and until more than 3 o'clock in the morning, the hunger became stronger little by little, which made Xiang Kun a little unable to sit still.

Xiang Kun began to get up frequently, walked to the cage of the rabbit in the bathroom several times, and forcibly restrained himself from returning, and also tried to do other things to divert his attention, but his mind always kept imagining the picture of killing rabbits and drinking blood, and constantly recalled the feeling of his body when he drank blood last time.

At the beginning, Xiang Kun would take a video of himself every half an hour and read a Tang poem to the camera to determine his status.

After the early hours of the morning, it was shortened to every ten minutes, which was also a way to do something to divert my attention.

Xiang Kun also wanted to go out several times to breathe, or to run, but he had already thought before that he must not go out in this state, so as to avoid doing something impulsive when he couldn't control it.

However, to Xiang Kun's surprise, at about half past five, when the sun rose, the hunger and the urge to drink blood suddenly alleviated a lot.

It seems that after sunrise, the factors that inhibit his own bodily functions will also inhibit his thirst for blood.

Xiang Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and while recording the changes in his body on the computer, he adjusted his breathing to continue to endure.

During the day, conditions were much better, and patience did not increase with time, but after sunset, the hunger began to grow again.

It wasn't until 7:33 p.m. that after Xiang Kun almost smashed his fist against the wall, he gave up his patience and solved the meat rabbit that had been raised for almost a week with great speed, suppressed the urge to drink directly, and put the blood into the measuring cup prepared in advance.

There are clear graduation marks on the measuring cups, and he divided them into four measuring cups, the first three cups were filled with 50ml, and the fourth cup was only filled with more than 20ml.

After drinking the first cup of 50ml, Xiang Kun could clearly feel that his hunger was not satisfied, and he was still very hungry for those rabbit blood.

But he didn't continue drinking immediately, but took his mobile phone to time it, and after 1 minute, he drank the second cup of 50ml, and then continued to time, and after another 2 minutes, he drank the third cup.

After the third cup, Xiang Kun clearly felt that the effectiveness of this blood had decreased.

A strong sense of sleepiness hit, but Xiang Kun held on, while cleaning up, while timer, after drinking the third cup of rabbit blood 5 minutes away, he picked up the fourth cup and drank it.

In fact, Xiang Kun can still feel the thirst for blood, but in the end, after less than 20ml of belly, it hardly brought much help.

Obviously, the last fourth cup has lost the utility that rabbit blood can bring.

This is the last time Xiang Kun was a little suspicious, after the rabbit blood leaves the rabbit's body, the effect on him will decline rapidly, and now it is confirmed.

The second cup after 1 minute is not much different from the first cup, and the third cup has a significant decrease in utility.

It can be inferred from this that the time of decline of this effect should start 1-3 minutes after the rabbit's blood leaves the rabbit.

After making a record, Xiang Kun still did not lie down and sleep immediately, but sat on the bed and fought against sleepiness.

He wanted to see how long he could resist the sleepiness after drinking blood.
