Chapter 5: Darkness Falls
It was already late at night, but Summer was not sleepy at all, sitting in front of the window and waiting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a few hours of calm thinking and trying, Summer gradually understood some of the characteristics of physical evolution.
The first is the improvement of digestion, and Xia Xia was surprised to find that although he had eaten no less than four kilograms of various meats so far today, he did not have the slightest desire to excrete, which was absolutely incredible for a normal person.
The only explanation is that all the food eaten is digested and turned into various high-density and low-density lipoproteins, which are used to speed up the metabolism in the summer.
For any normal person, eating four kilograms of energy-rich meat in a row is enough to cause his body to grow about a kilogram or so, and not only did he not get fat in summer, but he looked thinner than yesterday.
Along with the large amount of energy he eats, his body temperature has increased by about 0.5 degrees Celsius compared to normal in the summer, and as for his contaminated left arm, it has reached a staggering 38 degrees Celsius2, which is equivalent to the temperature of a human fever.
The human body is a highly sophisticated instrument, and now the body in summer has been imperceptibly changed, and the intake of a large amount of food does not increase the weight in summer, but instead evolves into a metabolic boost.
New cells are produced in large numbers to replace the old ones, and in the continuous metabolic process of the cells, the bone density and muscle strength in the summer will be strengthened.
As for the body getting thinner and thinner, summer speculation is a balance in nature, after all, too heavy is not conducive to escape and fight, and many species in nature, such as cheetahs, will not turn themselves from leopards to fat even if they eat more food, this is the best example.
The dead zombie, in retrospect, was skinny and skinny, but he had amazing explosive power, and the strength of the muscles had nothing to do with the number of muscles, only the strength of the muscles and bones.
Muscular men who come out of the gym often don't work on the construction site, and the workers who look black and thin have a lot of strength, because although they have many muscles, their strength is very low, and even too many muscles themselves will affect explosiveness and endurance.
One night in the summer is studying, thinking, trying.
He found that his mind seemed to be clearer than before, and it didn't take him long for him to learn a lot about his body, which was evolving violently, and to change the pattern of eating and exercising according to his own understanding.
Sitting next to the window, Summer always had a piece of meat in his hand, and he ate it slowly, chewing it carefully, trying to take in every nutrient molecule in his body, and reserve energy for future emergencies.
As for training, in the summer you can now do two hundred push-ups plus two hundred squats in one go.
In fact, he can do more in the summer, but the difference in strength between his left and right arms is huge, the right arm is equivalent to a strong adult, and the polluted left arm is equivalent to at least three adults, and at the end of a round of training, the right arm is tired and shivering in the summer, but the left arm is not felt at all.
As for Summer's fear that he would turn into a zombie, it didn't seem to be going in the direction he thought, and the contaminated left arm did have a lot of cyan and black markings, but it didn't turn completely black.
There is a clear demarcation from the left shoulder in the summer, the left arm is strange-looking, a bit like the unicorn arm described in the novel, and the right arm and the whole body are the same as normal people.
Summer didn't dare to rejoice too early, because he couldn't tell if the virus would take over his whole body one day in the future, turning him into an ugly zombie, and everything would take time to verify.
Summer just sat by the window, looking at the city where the night was getting darker and darker, kept eating, kept exercising, kept polishing two spring steel plates, he wanted to make the steel plate into a heavy knife, in China, where weapons control is strict, it is not easy to get something lethal, and kitchen knives and other uncontrolled knives are too light for summer.
As the time gets closer to midnight, the mood of summer becomes more and more tense.
Suddenly, a quarter of an hour before midnight, a vision appeared in the sky.
A meteor appeared without warning, getting brighter and brighter, and after only a few minutes, it became like the sun, radiating a dazzling white light, and the city outside the window was completely clear, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.
Summer hurriedly put his notebook on his lap and searched for all the information related to meteors, but he flipped through all the news and checked all the astronomical forums, and there was no notice that there would be a meteor passing by tonight, as if this impossibly bright meteor suddenly popped out of the darkness.
Swish~
Summer was searching for a search engine when a meteor suddenly went out.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, it pointed to midnight, not more than a second, not less than a second...
Summer's nervous heart is pounding, the vision of the zombie prophecy has appeared, and the next thing is that darkness is coming, right?
The room was silent, save for the sound of the second hand turning.
When the needle pointed to 0:06, the first gunshot rang out from the other side of the North City, near the river, and the hollow gunfire quickly pierced the silent night sky and spread throughout the city!
Eschatological!
Eschatological!
The end times are really coming!
Summer jumped up and tried to look north, but unfortunately the distance was far away, and he couldn't know what was going on in the north, so he had to hold on to a simple javelin made of steel in his hand, and a lot of sweat gradually broke out in his palms.
Bang bang~
Two more gunshots rang out, kicking off the dark and chaotic night.
When the clock was pointing to 0:20, the gunfire in the north gradually intensified, and the gunfire was in a series of shots, indicating that the army was engaged in a fierce confrontation with something with strong firepower.
The building where the summer is located, and everything that can be seen as far as the summer eye can see, are all lit up, countless people lie in front of the window, puzzled and shocked, and the posts that suddenly pour out on the major forums show that the gunfire is not only in Quancheng, but a common phenomenon in China.
At 0:30 a.m., three helicopter gunships roared overhead over the summer and headed straight north.
Thundered~
At one o'clock in the morning, a number of army-green heavy trucks suddenly appeared on the main road outside the window, filled with heavily armed soldiers, who were also heading north.
And behind these military vehicles, in the summer saw a row of guns with black holes, it was tank troops!
People who don't know the truth gradually begin to panic, and in the summer, they hear that there are neighbors downstairs spreading all kinds of unreliable gossip, and some people even say that US imperialism has come in.
Didi~
Police cars with flashing lights use loudspeakers to warn stranded people to go home immediately, close doors and windows, turn on the television, and wait for further information from the authorities.
It's a pity that human beings living in peacetime are completely unalert to unpredictable dangers, no matter how the police shout, they just refuse to leave, and there are even good people who start their vehicles to go to Beicheng to see what is going on...
