Chapter 20: Infection

In the alley, two men, one tall and one strong, are threatening a woman in a pale yellow skirt with a knife.

"Get the money out! Hurry up! Don't force us to do it. ”

The woman in the pale yellow skirt shook her head vigorously, with tears in her eyes, "Don't ...... Please! ”

The tall man slashed twice in the air with a dagger fiercely, and said fiercely: "Damn, don't be embarrassed, let go!" ”

"Huh?" The sturdy man glanced at Qi Yuan at the mouth of the alley out of the corner of his eye, and was suddenly overjoyed, smashed his companion next to him, and whispered, "Another one." ”

"The one over there, it's you, look at it, get over here!"

Seeing that he was being targeted, Qi Yuan smiled helplessly, and was not ready to waste time, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at the two of them.

Whoa—

A burst of thunder rushed straight at them. But in a moment, both of them fell to the ground at the same time, their bodies steaming hot and still convulsing.

"Rao...... Spare your life! ”

Only then did they know that they had met a master and wanted to get up and beg for mercy, but their hands and feet were numb and they couldn't use their strength at all, and they couldn't even speak with a soft tongue and couldn't speak clearly.

The woman in the pale yellow short skirt happily trotted a few steps in front of Qi Yuan and kept thanking her.

"You're welcome, I'm just passing by." Qi Yuan glanced at her and prepared to leave.

"That ......" found that Qi Yuan didn't look like someone who was going to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the woman said with a little embarrassment: "Big brother, can you ...... Walk with me for a while? ”

Qi Yuan was curious: "What?" Oh...... You're afraid of danger, what? Is this happening a lot now? ”

"It's a lot, it's just everywhere." The woman in the yellow dress smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the last resort, who would be wandering outside." ”

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, is Heihe City in chaos like this now?

After this woman was sent home, she gave Qi Yuan a bunch of food as a thank you gift.

In this environment, being willing to give food to others is indeed a sincere gratitude. After all, the whole city is locked down. Although the army uses airplanes to drop food every day, there are still a few who are willing to go out.

……

"It's a mess!"

Qi Yuan walked all the way and found that Heihe's social order had almost completely collapsed.

Riots were going on everywhere, and a small group of patrolling soldiers couldn't control the whole city at all.

"After entering the level, magicians and knights have broken through the limits of the human body, and they are different from ordinary people at the cellular level, and this virus cannot infect them at all."

"Officials, tycoons, and those powerful and powerful people can easily get a few vaccines."

"Sure enough, the people at the bottom are the most helpless at all times." Qi Yuan said silently in his heart.

These low-level people either robbed the streets and tried to scrape together money to buy a vaccine. Or hide at home and struggle to save your life when a large number of vaccines arrive. If you are unlucky and accidentally infected with the virus, you can only wait for death.

"Levitation!"

Qi Yuan walked into an upscale residential area and released the magic of weight reduction on his body. Then with a slight jump, he jumped out of the balcony on the third floor of a building.

"Anyone?"

After asking a few times, seeing that no one answered, Qi Yuan decisively turned over and entered the bedroom of this house from the balcony.

The house was empty, and Qi Yuan wiped it on the table casually, and his fingers were stained with a thick layer of ash.

"It's such a thick ash, at least no one has cleaned it for more than ten days. It seems that I guessed correctly, and the people who could afford to buy a house in such an upscale community have escaped with the vaccine. ”

"Just stay here these days." Qi Yuan walked towards the kitchen in a happy mood, "Get some food first, and I'll walk around later." ”

After eating and drinking, Qi Yuan began to search.

"Others have to be cautious if they are afraid of being infected, and it's not easy for me to be infected with the virus."

The infected were either hiding or dead, and their bodies were incinerated by patrolling soldiers. Qi Yuan didn't find a single source of infection for a long time.

"There it is!" Suddenly, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

There is a wide stone bridge 100 meters away, and under the bridge, there is the Heihe River that crosses the entire Heihe City.

"Haha." Qi Yuan climbed over the railing on the side of the bridge and jumped onto the platform of the bridge pier. "This plague is spread through water sources, and nine out of ten viruses are present in this black river!"

There were a lot of discarded empty bottles next to the bridge pier, Qi Yuan picked one up casually, filled a full bottle of river water and shook it in front of him. The river takes on a pale green color.

"It's called the Black River, and the water isn't very dark."

Qi Yuan returned to his temporary residence with a bottle of river water and wiped it on his arm.

"Wait." Qi Yuan's gaze carried a hint of anticipation.

"The goal is to make the mental power and brain wave frequency all reach the limit of the human body! Then, get vaccinated right away! ”

There are limits to the human body.

An ordinary person cannot break a tank with one punch, and it is impossible to surpass a sports car in speed. The composition of muscles and bones is unchanged, and no matter how much you practice, you can't break through the innate limitations of genes.

The same goes for mental power and brainwave frequency. Before entering the stage, the peak of mental power is about 60 points, and the limit of brain wave frequency is about 640Hz.

There will be slight differences between different races. For example, among the three major races, the white-skinned Caucasian has a peak of mental power around 62-63 points. For yellow-skinned Asian, the brainwave frequency is dominant, with a limit of about 650-660Hz.

Specific to individuals, there may be differences in one or two points, no matter how much it is impossible, which is limited by the structure of the brain.

There is only one way to break through the limitations - to break the shackles of cells and discover the ancient fragments hidden inside the genes!

Knights rely on the strength of their bodies to push the limits. Magicians, on the other hand, rely on strong spiritual power.

This is the essence of the ranks.

"It worked!" At this moment, Qi Yuan suddenly felt a little hot on his body, and couldn't help but get excited.

"From now on, I have to be careful! If you are unconscious, killed by the virus, it is over. ”

When he was sick a few times before, Qi Yuan just left it alone and slept until his body healed naturally. Of course, you can't be so careless this time. He checked his cultivation progress every few minutes, and injected himself with vaccines in advance if he noticed something was wrong.

"Cultivation has been improved!"

Qi Yuan was surprised to find that the effect of the plague virus was stronger than he expected, and his mental power and brain wave frequency were increasing almost anytime and anywhere.

"At this rate, the physical limit can be reached in 8 hours. There shouldn't be any danger. ”

Qi Yuan was also worried that if the virus took effect too slowly, and when it was so serious that he was about to coma, he had not reached the limit of his body, so he could only give up halfway and inject vaccines to ensure his safety.

In the huge room, Qi Yuan sat alone on the sofa, silently and patiently. Keep the syringe filled with the light blue vaccine close to you, where you can easily reach it.

"Mental power 56 points, brain wave frequency 549Hz"

"The mental power has risen a little more, and it is already 57. How is the brainwave frequency only 560? Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

Time passed slowly, and a few small blisters popped up on the skin. Qi Yuan just glanced at it, he didn't care, and his attention was still focused on his cultivation.

"It's so sleepy......"

Qi Yuan felt that his eyelids had become heavy, and if he stood up now, he would probably have to stand for a while by holding on to the wall, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand straight on his legs.

That's when —

Boom!

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the door, and the door was kicked open!
