At night, the barren mountainous areas were chirping insects and birds, the bonfires were crackling, and Zhang Guohua was ......snoring like thunder.

Next to the fire, Ling Tao sat alone, with a wooden grab and a long stick by his side, and gently pinched the blood-colored 'jelly' the size of a glass ball with two fingers to observe carefully.

This thing Ling Tao seems to be really magical, during the day, the fish head is liquid, but it falls out and condenses into a round ball, condensed but not scattered, very soft, light force can pinch it flat, but after loosening and miraculously restored.

Especially against the backdrop of the firelight, it seems to have a strange light.

"How can there be such a thing in the fish skull, but the strange thing is, why is there only that one fish skull in it and the others are not, is it because of the fish lesion, or because of the mutation of the X virus? Also, the honey in the tunnel yesterday can disperse wasps, which is different from ordinary honey, is it also like this 'jelly', which was stimulated by the X virus to form by accident"?

There are so many questions and puzzles in Ling Tao's heart, he is just a student who has just stepped out of high school, he does not have too much social experience, nor is he too rich in knowledge, but also because the world has changed for a few days, except for the people around him, he has lost contact with the outside world, and he is not very good about what appears in the world today.

After looking at the 'jelly' in his hand for a long time, he couldn't see anything abnormal, and in the end, Ling Tao could only classify it as something that was caused by the lesion after the strange fish mutated, and he didn't think about it in other directions at all.

"It's quite fun," Ling Tao said to himself with a smile in his heart.

The soft jelly, gently pinched, changed into various shapes, and finally returned to its original state, like many children's soft toys, Ling Tao pinched and played in boredom, when to pass the time.

Gradually, the night was deeper, sleepiness hit, Ling Tao also fought with his eyelids, no one spoke, and nothing else diverted his attention, so it was strange not to be sleepy.

A few hours later, a bell rang, which was particularly abrupt in the night.

Of course, although this is the ringing of the phone, it is not who called, but the alarm clock is ringing.

The original arrangement was that Ling Tao was the first vigil, followed by Zhang Guohua, and then Wang Jun, and the three of them kept vigil for one night, as for Yu Miaomiao, because they were girls, they were injured again, so they didn't have to take on the duty of vigil.

Wang Jun muttered in a daze, continued to sleep, Zhang Guohua next to Ling Tao opened his eyes and woke up, walked to Ling Tao and sat down and said, "Brother Ling Tao, you go to rest, and leave it to me next."

Ling Tao nodded and didn't say anything, he looked at the magical 'jelly' again at the firelight, and opened his mouth to yawn because he was sleepy.

And at this time, Zhang Guohua on the side also yawned, stretched out his hands and wanted to move, and then just slapped the back of his hand on Ling Tao's hand holding 'jelly'!

Then, the 'jelly' jumped out of Ling Tao's hand and fell straight into Ling Tao's mouth, and with a movement of his throat, Ling Tao swallowed it in one gulp!

Zhang Guohua didn't notice this, but in this way, Ling Tao was dumbfounded and sleepy!

That thing, was eaten by itself! This was the thought in Ling Tao's heart at this time, which was difficult to suppress, and a wave of fear rose in his heart.

After all, no one knows what that thing is, whether it will be poisonous or not, and if it is swallowed like this, will it bring consequences to itself?

Turning around, Ling Tao stretched out a finger into his mouth under Zhang Guohua's incomprehensible gaze, trying to make himself vomit and spit out the red jelly-like thing.

But after a few times, the pantothenic acid in his mouth couldn't spit it out, and Ling Tao panicked.

"Brother Ling Tao, are you like this"? Zhang Guohua came to his senses completely and looked at Ling Tao and asked incomprehensibly.

Ignoring the other party, Ling Tao's face was extremely frightened at this time, because in just a few seconds, he felt that his stomach, as if he had eaten a chili pepper raw, began to have a hot pain, that kind of heartburn pain, and the pain made him convulse all over!

That's not all, the heartburn pain started from the stomach and spread to the whole body, and in a few seconds, Ling Tao's whole person seemed to be burning, and all over his body were hot and scorching!

The skin exposed to the air, including the cheeks, became as red as cooked shrimp, and sweat appeared on the surface of the body.

"Ah......h

"Brother Ling Tao, what's wrong with you"? Zhang Guohua asked loudly, helping Ling Tao up, but when he touched Ling Tao's skin, he felt hot, and Ling Tao's face was red and scary.

Especially his eyes, which became extremely hideous and cold, which made Zhang Guohua startled when he saw this face.

"What's going on"? Such a movement surprised Wang Jun on the side, and asked in a daze.

Yes......! Ling Tao screamed again, his face was hideous, and he reached out and grabbed Zhang Guohua's arm, as if this could relieve his pain.

"Zhang Guohua, you let go of Ling Tao", Wang Jun was completely sober, seeing such a situation, thinking that Zhang Guohua was bullying Ling Tao, he suddenly yelled, lifted the wooden stick and was about to smash Zhang Guohua.

"Fatty, I'm fine......", Ling Tao's words, Dye Wang Jun stopped his movements and looked at the two of them in confusion.

At this time, the red color on Ling Tao's body gradually receded and returned to normal, and the short ten seconds just now, as if he had passed more than ten years, there was no place in his body that did not hurt his heart.

Not only that, but at that time, there were a lot of crazy thoughts in my mind for no reason, wanting to destroy, wanting to be angry, but Ling Tao forcibly endured it.

For a moment, Ling Tao almost thought that he was going crazy and become a monster!

When Wang Jun spoke for the second time, the pain in Ling Tao's body disappeared like a tide, and the crazy thoughts in his mind also disappeared.

At this time, Ling Tao, who was in prostration, let go of Zhang Guohua and spread it on the ground at once, after the discomfort, he felt extremely comfortable, and that kind of comfortable feeling made Ling Tao unable to express it in words, although he had not taken drugs, but Ling Tao felt that this feeling was probably more comfortable than **.

In the same way, whether it is a painful feeling or a refreshing feeling, it comes and goes quickly, and it doesn't take long to return to normal.

"Ling Tao, what the hell is going on? You ...... just now", Wang Jun asked with a wooden stick in his hand and a vigilant look at Zhang Guohua.

"Don't get me wrong, fat man, it's all my problem, don't blame Brother Zhang", Ling Tao waved his hand and said.

At this time, fear, surprise, fear, doubt, and other thoughts filled Ling Tao's heart, as for Zhang Guohua accidentally patting his hand and letting himself swallow the 'jelly' by mistake, he completely forgot about it.

What the hell is that, will I die, and what kind of changes have I brought to myself! At this time, Ling Tao's mind had been filled with these three thoughts, and there was no answer to it.

After resting for a few minutes, Ling Tao looked at Wang Jun and said, "Fatty, do you remember the jelly-like liquid that you knocked out of the fish skull during the day?" I just swallowed it and I almost died, but now it's fine."

Wang Jun and Zhang Guohua both looked at Ling Tao in surprise, only then did they know what was going on, they all saw that thing, they didn't care at all, and even if Ling Tao didn't mention it at this time, they would have forgotten it.

"That'...... How do you feel? Are you all right"? Wang Jun reacted, walked to Ling Tao's side and asked with concern, looking up and down, extremely worried.

Shaking his head, Ling Tao closed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "At first, I felt that the whole person was about to die, as if I was roasted on the fire, or from the inside out, life is better than death, but then there is a comfortable and wonderful feeling ...... the whole body."

Speaking of this, Ling Tao paused for a moment, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "I don't know if something will happen to me, but at this time, I can clearly feel that after what happened just now, my strength has increased, although it is not a lot, only about ten percent, but I can really feel this change."

As he spoke, Ling Tao reached out and clenched his fist, as if to show his strength.

Ling Tao's words made Wang Jun and Zhang Guohua stunned, do you want to be so magical, and your strength will increase after you die? It's a bit of a fantasy.

"I can feel that when you first started to catch me, your strength was not as great as before you let go, and you must have used all your strength to be unconscious at that time, and later, your strength increased for no reason", Zhang Guohua nodded honestly on the side, confirming Ling Tao's words.

Wang Jun grinned, a little incredulous, and asked after a while: "You mean to say that the red liquid that fell out of the fish's skull like jelly can increase its strength after eating?" Do you want it to be so magical".

"Although it's hard to believe, but this is a fact, if my one-handed strength was one hundred pounds before, now it is at least one hundred and ten pounds, of course, I just make an analogy, I don't know the specific value, if I don't eat it by mistake, I can't believe that it will bring such a magical change", Ling Tao nodded and said affirmatively.

After scratching his head, scratching his head, and scratching his head again, Wang Jun grinned a little sluggishly and said: "If this is the case, it will not be an elixir, and you will exercise a fart, you will directly have 1,800 of that 'jelly' to eat, and you will directly become a superman."

"Maybe you're right, if you really eat 1,800 pieces, you can really become a superman, but, let's not talk about whether there are any sequelae after eating this thing, the pain after eating it alone is not something that ordinary people can bear, if you do it again, even if it doubles the strength, I don't want to eat that thing...... Maybe this is the heavenly cycle of what you get, you have to bear something", Ling Tao said with palpitations.
