Chapter 16: Invulnerability
And Li You really didn't speak. In the previous world, he was aware of the connection between himself and One, but this kind of thing is very weird, and if you say it, you may cause danger to yourself.
For now, the danger does exist, and if you travel to the next world again, you don't know if you are a good person or a bad person over there.
They were moving very fast, and they rushed to the position that Li You had said, and the sky was already starting to turn white.
Li You looked back at the camp that was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't see the long-standing bonfire in the center of the camp. Looking at the morning glow in the eastern sky, he muttered in his heart that today's weather may not be suitable for outings.
"Take a break!" Sister Hua gave an order, but everyone did not sit on the ground as Li You imagined, but patrolled around more vigilantly.
Peng Lao sat on a fallen dead tree, tugged at Li You's cuffs and said, "Come, young man, sit down and rest." ”
"Hmm", Li You leaned on the dead wood with a heavy heart, turned his head and said to Peng Lao: "I have a question, you said that I fell from the tree and didn't break it, thanks to Shuangzi's ability, so when you install that small ball on my chest, the hook is very likely to not be able to penetrate it, right?" ”
"Hehe, that's the problem." After speaking, Peng Lao took out a dagger half an inch long from his waist and quickly slashed at the back of Li You's hand.
Li You was still wondering, he didn't react to Peng Lao's movements, and was about to ask him why he did this, but he saw that the back of his hand was intact, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Hehe, that's right, you did get the same ability as Shuangzi." With that, he inserted the dagger back into his waist.
Li You asked Peng Lao incredulously how he could be like this, but Peng Lao explained in an orderly manner: "Shuangzi didn't die three times from the thunderbolt, so I guessed that it might be that when the huge electric current passed through his body, it didn't damage his cells, but was stored inside." This also directly changed the interaction between the molecules in his body. ”
"In layman's terms?"
"It's the lightning current that changes the molecular structure of Shuangzi and you. Now, you're invulnerable. ”
Peng Lao was slightly excited, mixed with a little disappointment, which was a unique expression on the scientist's face, "Unfortunately, this ability may gradually weaken with the passage of time." You must have climbed the tree and strengthened your bond with Shuangzi, thus activating the ability. ”
Li You looked at Peng Lao's wrinkled eyelids drooping, and hurriedly asked, "Is it possible to keep King Kong from breaking if he is struck by lightning again?" ”
Faced with Li You's assumptions, Peng Lao nodded, shook his head again, and said: "I'm not sure, before the first two groups of people left, I gave them a comprehensive physical examination, and the metabolism speed of Shuangzi's cells is beyond that of ordinary people." Lightning strikes again, and two scenarios can occur. ”
Li You looked at Peng Lao expectantly, hoping that the two situations he said were good.
"The first is that it is no different from before, and it can still have this kind of incorruptible body; The second, the rate of cell division, which is lower than the rate of necrosis, may accelerate the aging process. After Peng Lao finished speaking, he took off his glasses and wiped them, looked up at a small piece of the sky above his head that was not covered by trees, and said, "More or less, this ability is considered to be against the laws of nature." ”
If you violate the laws of nature, will you necessarily be punished? Li You pondered in his heart, now he can't tell whether he exists in a normal world, how can he talk about the laws of nature?
The sunlight shines evenly through the thick clouds and spreads evenly to the surrounding oasis, and under the photosynthesis, the plants begin to produce oxygen uninterruptedly, making Li You, whose brain is cloudy, feel a strange sense of comfort.
"Sister Hua, there is a discovery!" A bearded man panted and ran south and almost fell. Sister Hua hugged him, and without saying a word, hurriedly trotted south.
"Come on, let's go check it out." When Li You heard Peng Lao's words, he hurriedly stood up with him in his arms and walked south with the group.
Skirting a few moss-covered buildings, they came to the place where the bearded man had spoken, and everyone slowed down and watched around warily.
Li You looked around and concluded that this should have been a village, but due to changes in the natural environment, it was completely covered with moss and vines.
However, since humans have been active here before, there are not many trees. There were only a handful of weeds, swaying on the side of the road.
He kicked a bulge on the ground to see if it was concrete underneath, and with a little force, he kicked the bulge over.
"!" Li You instinctively took a step back and shouted unconsciously.
Hearing Li You's shout, everyone also stopped and ran in his direction. When the bearded man saw the head, he suddenly knelt on the ground and began to cry, not caring for his image in the slightest.
"It's Xiangzi, the bearded brother, a member of the search team that came out with Xiao Liu yesterday." Sister Hua was also a little excited when she saw this scene. The apricot eyes widened under the frowning eyebrows, "The bearded man said, there are many such stumps and broken arms in front of him. ”
Peng Lao took out a cotton swab and a sealed bag from the small bag he carried, dipped them in the nostrils of the human head, and then put them in the bag, and sighed: "Hey, yesterday was a good living person, but today it has become a petri dish for this fungus, and the creation makes people." ”
Sister Hua was negative for a while, then regained her spirits and divided the team into two teams, one team was responsible for patrolling the perimeter; The other team used scanners to sort through the information of the deceased to see if anyone might still be alive.
Li You looked at the scanner in Sister Hua's hand and asked Peng Lao curiously: "You haven't even solved the problem of electricity, how can you have such a high-tech thing?" ”
"Hey, you're underestimating the people we left behind." Peng Lao stroked a few strands of hair that were picked up by the wind and continued: "Although we are orphans of the earth, the technology we have is not much different from the people who left. However, since we are right, you can understand where the advantages are. ”
Li You pondered for a moment and said, "Resources? ”
"That's right, it seems that you are not as stupid as I imagined", after speaking, Peng Lao didn't care about Li You's embarrassed expression, and said to himself: "We have huge resources, although there are some one-time resources, they have to be used after a long period of precipitation." ”
For some reason, Li You suddenly noticed that the old man in front of him seemed to have a little strange feeling, and he couldn't describe it.
After the sun was obscured by the clouds again, Sister Hua and the others also checked everyone's information, and after seeing everyone's feedback, their frowning brows stretched a lot.
"I've sent a team of six, and with the current scanning, there are three more people who have a very high chance of surviving." After Sister Hua said these words to Peng Lao, she quickly ordered everyone to eat something to replenish their strength.
While eating, Li You saw Sister Hua squatting alone on the side of the road eating "sweet potatoes", so she tiptoed over.
"You say, how can there be a core in this sweet potato?" Li You said to Sister Hua without words, and then planned to throw away the nucleus in the middle.
"Don't throw it! This nucleus is good for the body and has a lot of fat. ”
"Then how did you throw it away?"
Sister Hua suddenly smiled, this kind of natural and generous smile is rare in Li You's original world.
"I don't like to eat because I'm bitter, and I don't like to eat this in the camp." She touched the sweet potato pits lying on top of the moss with her fingers, and continued: "Because there are so few wild animals, our usual fat intake is basically obtained from the seeds of fruits. ”
Looking at the smile on her face that gradually disappeared, Li You didn't want to think about it, and picked up the sweet potato core and stuffed it into her mouth. Sister Hua hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't eat it, this is absolutely not edible if it falls on this moss, and it may be poisoned." ”
"Oh."
Li You threw down the sweet potato core and whispered, "I'm curious, what kind of person your brother is." ”
"He's a big fool, and he likes to rush to the front of everything."
"That's different from me, I was quite brave when I was a kid, but I'm getting timid. Sometimes, I feel like a coward. ”
Sister Hua ate the last bite of sweet potato, got up and patted Li You on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about yourself like that, I think you are a big fool like my brother!" Alright, let's hurry up and go. ”
