Chapter 8: The Pervasive Gaze
Decade.
Ten years ago, the disaster virus caused heavy losses to mankind, the population was sharply reduced, and civilization regressed, but ten years later, human beings who had relieved themselves have tenaciously rejuvenated their civilization. Ninety percent of the people who are still alive are awakened. And those who cannot awaken are just like those who had serious physical defects ten years ago, and they are pitied and discriminated against.
Qin Liang was wearing civilian clothes and walking on the green path, looking leisurely. He was followed by several men with sharp eyes, a rigid temperament, and a military aura all over his body.
Ten years later, he has also become an important base, or a strategic core figure of the country, from the outsider who defected back then. There is never a shortage of resources that make his strength grow by leaps and bounds, even if his ability ceiling is low, under the washing of massive resources, his strength has been maintained at a high speed.
Except for Qin Liang himself, no one knows how much suffering he has suffered to get to this point. After all, his physical fitness is limited, and it is not easy to accommodate the accumulation of massive resources and hit the ceiling of his potential. If it weren't for the experience he remembered and the support of the base laboratory behind him, he wouldn't have had time to get to this point, and he would have died in experiments and death.
Although there has not been much freedom in the past ten years, Qin Liang is still very satisfied. He thinks that the choice he made back then was right, if he didn't make that choice, he would work alone, maybe with his memory, he could still break the potential ceiling one after another, and he could still get to this point, but how much time it would take, it's hard to say.
Now, if his strength is fully revealed, he should be able to rank among the top batch of awakened people. People of this strength, even in the Weihe base, where there are many masters, plus he is only one of the few of them.
Set aside some time every day to relax his brain, Qin Liang likes to walk the tree-lined path by this door. Here his spirit is always relatively relaxed, lively and indifferent. There is a certain psychological factor, but it always gets him into the groove, mainly because of the transplanted tree planted next to the tree-lined path, the meditation tree.
Mutated plants. Its photosynthesis produces not only oxygen, but also has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the body and mind. It is difficult to survive and requires careful care from people, and it is a more delicate species than other mutated vegetation and trees that grow wildly. Walk back and forth on this path every day, both mentally and physically.
But today is different, although Qin Liang's expression is still leisurely, as if he is immersed in the environment, his heart is extremely tired. Stepping out of the edge of the last path, before he returned to his house, his heart was pounding, and the familiar, terrifying gaze of these days was a little more vigorous.
Qin Liang had a hard time telling what it was like. Prey stared at by tigers? Or the gaze of the strongest mutant beast? That feeling is like a man's back, and it makes people sleep uneasy! As time passes, the strength grows, and the sensation also changes from the initial weakness to the richness and obviousness. Qin Liang had arranged for someone to check the surroundings many times, but he didn't find any abnormalities.
He is at the core of the base, and his own security force is extremely strong, coupled with his own strength, it can be said that as long as he does not die, the danger and accident that will kill him will hardly happen to him.
By chance, after he noticed that in the same base, Mi Liang, one of the strongest three, and another person also had the same feeling as him, Qin Liang's reason was like an ice cave, a cold to the bone! And with the help of the state, after scavenging some of the recent actions and information about some of the other strongest awakened people, this coldness has been unresolved for ten thousand years.
The strength continues to rise as the potential ceiling rises, and with each rising point, the more intense that gaze becomes. The world seemed to reject him and wanted to [vomit] him out. I had such a slightly strange thought in my mind inexplicably. It seems that as long as he wants, he will soon be able to follow this repulsive force and leave this world smoothly.
Qin Liang hadn't injected himself with various solutions for a while, and he was afraid that if his strength continued to grow, he would be completely unable to control himself. Qin Liang didn't know what would happen if he took that step and was excluded from the world, was he going to arrive in a better world? Or wandering in the universe? This unknown made him cautious and timid.
In the past, Qin Liang could find the answers from his memory, and even if he was poor, he could find clues related to the answers. But this time, his memories didn't help him. His mind went blank and unheard of for this strange situation. Maybe it's because no one in my memory has ever come to this point in that era, or maybe someone has come to this point, and his level is too low to be able to get in touch with it.
Through?
How can it be?
Qin Liang made one speculation after another, and overthrew himself one by one. He certainly didn't want to take that step without knowing anything about it. Because of that step, no one knows whether it will be light or darkness! But he also knew that time was running out for him. Even if he has cut off the supply of resources, the potential ceiling will rise slowly, and it can only be delayed for a while. Maybe with his not very good potential ability, he can buy him a little more time.
……
Another year.
Qin Liang sat expressionlessly on a chair outside the courtyard, and the people around him were about ten meters away from him, looking at him with a worried expression. Looking up at the blue sky on the recliner, Qin Liang closed his eyes and sighed, that sense of rejection had reached a peak, and that terrifying gaze was even more condensed like substance, he had nothing to drag, and he would definitely be rejected by this world.
Joseph Halley III, Mira, Qin Ying, Alpha, Alder, Linda......
Thinking back to the dozens of powerful awakened people who had disappeared one step ahead of him, Qin Liang sighed again. The next moment, he put aside the apprehension in his heart, the gaze that filled his surroundings and came from something like substance from inexplicable places, and he ignored the rejection of the world that was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and he stood up and, according to his own habits, re-embarked on the tree-lined path in front of his house. Even if this path is far from bringing him peace and peace of mind.
That night, under the strong world repulsion, Qin Liang was rejected and squeezed without the power to resist, and he couldn't help but be squeezed like a ball of jelly, through a narrow invisible pipe, and came to an inexplicable void. The repulsion on his body disappeared, and the whole person had a kind of ease that he hadn't seen for many years, and his strength was like riding a rocket in an instant, climbing up rapidly, and climbing to a point he didn't dare to imagine and still didn't stop.
But Qin Liang didn't have the slightest sense of joy, he just looked at the huge figure in front of him in fear, or he couldn't say that he could see it, even if he closed his eyes, that huge figure was still arrogantly entrenched in his mind, and he couldn't hide from him! It's like you can't avoid that familiar gaze! A surging spiritual storm surged in, and a vast consciousness connected to his spirit.
