Chapter 37: Awakening
Chen Ji turned into the sun, emitting light and heat all over his body, and while testing his abilities, he chatted with Zhou Wan, but after chatting for a while, he used up his blue bar - the light and heat on his body were constantly weakening.
A chill hit him, and he froze into a dog again.
Zhou Wan hurriedly put the quilt on her bed for him first.
"This ability lasts a little too little!"
Chen Ji wrapped Zhou Wan's quilt with some regret.
He thought that he and Mu Xiaoxiao were going in opposite directions, and they became stronger when they went to another world, but they didn't expect to be defeated under the will of the world, and sure enough, the road to invincibility was not so simple.
"Your ability can be controlled at will, it's already strong."
Zhou Wan chuckled.
Her abilities have also been studied.
In the end, there is only one:
The body adapts to the cold and darkness, greatly reducing heat dissipation, keeping the inside of the body warm, but the surface of the body is cold.
It's unclear if it's her skin, or if there's a change in a mechanism within her body.
It seems that the strength has also increased, but the spirit is indeed much better.
"Hearing you say that, my strength seems to be ......"
"Roar!!
Just as Chen Ji wanted to speak, a low roar came from the ground of the villa, shaking people's scalps.
"Shhh
Zhou Wan put a finger to her lips, turned off all light sources, and sat with Chen Ji in the dark.
Her whole set of movements was not hurried, not panicked and nervous, nor cautious, and she did these things smoothly.
Outside the door, Wang Caicheng and the others were also quiet.
Even the irascible Wang Caiyong didn't dare to breathe at the moment.
Chen Ji covered his mouth and nose with Zhou Wan's quilt to prevent the heat from exhaling directly, although he also doubted whether it was useful at all, the human body would heat up - except for Zhou Wan.
Fortunately, there was a violent fight on the ground, and it was supposed that the two mutated creatures had met, and a battle ensued.
The ground part of Zhou Wan's villa is estimated to be completely scrapped.
But not to ruins, mutated creatures are not that strong.
"I can't tell what the creature is."
After the sound of the battle was far away, Zhou Wan said softly, "But I can hear that they are crazy." β
"Crazy?"
"Well, in the past, mutant creatures would not keep roaring like this even if they were hunting food, they were hunters and prey at the same time, they should be quiet, approach slowly, and then fight quickly."
"Could it be that two mutant creatures are naturally hostile?"
As he spoke, the chaotic sound of a group of mutated creatures running, fighting, and roaring could be heard in the distance on the ground.
"Something is wrong!"
Zhou Wan became nervous, "I want to go out and listen." β
"Huh?"
Chen Ji experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and was a little puzzled: "Why do you go out now?" β
"You can't sit still, the danger is not close yet, take this opportunity to take the initiative to understand and prepare in advance."
"I see."
Chen Ji nodded, he had nothing to say, he was an expert in doomsday survival.
And there is a lot of truth in this statement, which can be applied to other things.
"Chen Ji, you leave first, I'll go out and listen and come back."
Zhou Wan proposed.
"How can this work, since you are here, why do you have to go out and experience it!"
Chen Ji stood up, reached out and picked up her fire axe, hiss, it's so cold!
"Don't ...... At least wear gloves. β
Seeing that Chen Ji couldn't be stopped, Zhou Wan could only put on her scarf, plush hood, gloves, and windbreaker for Chen Ji.
And carefully tidy it up for him.
"It's much warmer now!"
Chen Ji jumped a few times on the spot and moved his body.
Zhou Wan stood in front of him and looked at him wearing his clothes, pursed her lips and smiled, and admonished:
"When you go up to the meeting, you have to walk lightly, although the noise may not necessarily be detected, but it's better to be careful, in addition, don't use your ability, otherwise it will really become a sun that attracts hundreds of mutated creatures~"
"Don't worry, I remember, I will do whatever you do, and I will do the same!"
Chen Ji will not be strong, Zhou Wan is a local, a proper doomsday survival expert.
However, Chen Ji also has the advantage, he can leave this world at any time, and before leaving, he can turn on the last bit of light and heat ability to attract the attention of mutated creatures.
Zhou Wan nodded, and after preparing a little, she opened the iron door and went outside to face Wang Caicheng and the others.
Chen Ji followed her with an axe and brought the breakfast bag with him.
"Miss Zhou, what's wrong?" Wang Caicheng took the initiative to ask.
"Something is wrong."
Zhou Wan said: "The mutant creatures seem to be in chaos, I am worried that the situation outside will change, and I plan to go up and listen to the sound and prepare in advance." β
"What's there to prepare for?"
Wang Caiyong muttered.
"You shut up." His brother Wang Caicheng shouted in a low voice, "Miss Zhou's consideration is right, do you have to wait for the mutant creature to come to you before you react and want to escape?" β
In fact, after leaving the wine storage room, Chen Ji heard a clearer voice, coming down from the ground in bursts, making the little girl Tongtong huddle in her mother's arms in fright, not daring to raise her head.
"Stop talking, let's go."
Zhou Wan turned on her mobile phone, turned it off after finding the stairs at a glance, and took the initiative to hold Chen Ji's hand and let him follow her.
Chen Ji put the breakfast bag on the ground and asked the mother and daughter to look for it in the dark.
"Wait, we'll go too."
Wang Caicheng was not in a hurry to eat breakfast, and quickly put on his coat and shoes.
Wang Caiyong was reluctant, but he could only bring a fruit knife to follow.
A group of four people left Qin Dongxue's mother and daughter and walked up the stairs lightly.
Out of the basement, it should be to the first floor of Zhou Wan's villa, and turn into a door to her living room.
But, it's too dark.
It's not the darkness of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, but the pitch black of the palm in front of you, and you can't see it at all.
There is really no light.
Up and down, left and right, front and back, it's all dark!
If it weren't for the fact that he could still hear other people's voices, Chen Ji couldn't stand it alone, and he would turn on the lights for anything!
"Stop."
Zhou Wan's voice was very soft, and after stopping everyone's footsteps, she said, "I'll turn on the lights, and you pay attention to the surroundings." β
Prevent mutated creatures from being around.
The lights turned on and off, like a flower blooming in the night, and Chen Ji only had time to glance at the post-apocalyptic scene.
After confirming that it was safe, Zhou Wan pulled him out of the back door to the backyard of the villa.
The backyard is walled and slightly safer.
But in the distance, in the urban area of Haishi, there is constantly a faint chaotic sound.
It's a mutated creature.
And it's a lot of mutated creatures.
They roam around the city, fighting when they meet, and roaring from time to time.
"What the fuck isn't right!"
Wang Caiyong's voice trembled, and he scolded in a low voice: "What are these ghosts doing?!" It was cold last night? β
Last night?
Chen Ji's heart moved, and he raised his head to look at the dark night sky: "Is it because they don't have stars that they fall into chaos?" β
"Stars?"
"It's possible."
"Moths fight fires, and it may be that mutated creatures also rely on starlight to navigate, or that there are stars to see the way clearly."
The four of them whispered in the dark, listening to the movement in the distance, becoming more and more certain that a large number of mutated creatures were in chaos.
They wander in the dark, roaring, chasing all sources of light, heat, and sound.
"Let's go back."
Zhou Wan said softly.
The four of them returned to the basement.
The mother and daughter were having breakfast, and when they heard them come back, the little girl was the first to speak: "Are you Chen Ji's brother?" Thank you brother for the food! β
The little girl's sweet voice, the feeling of weakness has disappeared, and it is much better than what Chen Ji heard before.
"Tongtong is so good."
Chen Ji smiled and said to Zhou Wan: "I still have some materials over there, which can be teleported to you in space." β
"Okay, I'll thank you when I get back."
Zhou Wan cooperated with Chen Ji to act, and she had a tacit understanding.
"Mr. Chen, youβcan you teleport at will?" Wang Caicheng couldn't help but ask, and Wang Caiyong listened with his ears sideways.
"Anchors are needed, and people can't be carried."
Chen Ji replied lightly.
Other information is not revealed, let them guess.
"I can't go out for a few days."
Zhou Wan said to Chen Ji, and at the same time to Wang Caicheng and others.
"Mutant creatures will be frantic in the coming days without the guidance of the stars, and even if we find a gathering point, we may face the attack of mutant creatures again," she analyzed. β
The gathering point is densely populated, and there will definitely be a lot of light and heat emitted, making it a target for the mutated creatures that have lost their starlight.
"Okay, let's listen to Miss Zhou."
Wang Caicheng once again said that he would give the decision-making power to Zhou Wan.
"I'm fine, but we can't stay here, can we?" Wang Caiyong tried to ask Chen Ji, "This Brother Chen doesn't know if you can find us more food and hot water?" We promise to protect ......"
"Shut up."
Wang Caicheng stopped him again.
"You don't have to worry about food."
Zhou Wan took out a small flashlight, glanced at Chen Ji, took out her mobile phone, opened the blind date app and clicked to give it to him.
There are two reasons for this, one is to try what happens when giving gifts in person, and the other is to tell others that there is a special connection between her and Chen Ji, two "spatial powerhouses", who can send things to each other from a distance.
Chen Ji saw what she was doing, and stretched out his palm to prepare.
The trial went well.
The flashlight disappeared from Zhou Wan's hand, and suddenly appeared on Chen Ji's palm.
But the next moment, before Chen Ji gave it to her, the flashlight disappeared directly from his hand.
returned to Zhou Wan's hands.
Wang Caicheng was not surprised, but was amazed by the perverted ability of the supernatural.
But Chen Ji and Zhou Wan were staring at each other with big eyes.
"What did you just touch my hand?"
Chen Ji looked at her suspiciously.
"Me, me!"
Zhou Wan fell into a huge surprise.
The moment she gave the flashlight to Chen Ji, she felt that the world had suddenly changed.
Something four or five meters away no longer felt distant to her, and her hand seemed to reach it with an outstretched hand.
This wonderful feeling drove her to subconsciously reach out and want to touch Chen Ji's palm two meters away.
As a result, the flashlight in Chen Ji's hand was really caught by her and returned to her hand!
"Try again."
Chen Ji saw the problem, and was immediately interested, walked over and took the flashlight, and threw it up.
Flashlights that can still be used in the apocalypse are scarce, Zhou Wan was in a hurry, stretched out her white little hand and grabbed it in the air.
A flashlight flashed into her hand.
"That's amazing!"
Chen Ji smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
A smile of surprise bloomed on Zhou Wan's face.
She tossed the flashlight up and down, each time jumping a distance of space and returning to her with unmistakable precision.
She's got a supernatural power!
It's not the illusion of cooperating with Chen Ji before, it's her own ability.
Chen Ji's chrono-space-time teleportation seemed to have broken through some kind of constraint, or rather, it was his ability that affected her.
The "lie" has come true!
She became a true spatial powerhouse.
