Chapter Eighty-Eight: Strength
And as time stopped, even the sounds in the surrounding environment disappeared in an instant. It was as if suddenly Lin Zifeng was the only one left in the whole world, this was not the first time he had experienced this feeling, but it was the first time he had manipulated this feeling through his own will.
Lin Zifeng looked at the dagger that stopped falling in an instant, an inexplicable excitement occupied all the corners of his heart, he didn't even realize that his temples, which had begun to ache at this time, had become green, and a bead of sweat quietly flowed down his forehead.
He raised his hand and touched his head gently, his surroundings still maintained that static posture, and his own movements were not affected in any way, even the sweat on his forehead and the corners of his clothes that moved with his movements were still free to move as usual.
"Whew..."
Lin Zifeng exhaled a long breath, as if he had been holding it in the water for a long time, and began to gasp heavily, and at the moment when he relaxed his mind, the dagger clanged and fell to the ground, and the wind outside the window also blew the curtains rustling again.
He did it.
The excitement in his heart has not faded, Lin Zifeng's whole person is immersed in the excitement of finally mastering this strange power, as if something is holding out in his chest, and he desperately wants to vent it.
He didn't guess wrong, the red fog before the catastrophe and the changes that happened to people and animals after the apocalypse were really inextricably linked. And the red substance that appeared in the head of the mutant wildcat was the root cause of the mutation of zombies and beasts.
It is this strange substance that gives him extraordinary abilities.
That's the ability to manipulate time.
When all kinds of superhero movies and comics take the world by storm, how many people fantasize that they can wake up one day or be bitten by something strange, and have far more power than ordinary people?
Human beings have always been attracted to great powers, and perhaps this is true of all living things in nature. And this sudden apocalypse, like everything that happened on this planet tens of thousands of years ago, has once again become a world of natural selection, the law of the jungle.
Without strength, dignity and freedom can only be sacrificed in exchange for some food to survive.
Without power, the lives of oneself and one's loved ones can be easily taken away by the Grim Reaper lurking in the corner at every moment.
Lin Zifeng picked up the dagger that had long since receded from the ground, there was no trace of blood on its dark knife body, and anything that stuck to it had been turned into ashes by the high temperature of the red flame, and with a slight shake, it fell to the ground.
If it had been yesterday, he would have worried that one day he would have encountered an invincible enemy and an unavoidable danger and died, or that he could only watch the pain and suffering of those around him and be powerless.
Now, he finally has the confidence that he can carry them all the way. No matter what kind of danger or what kind of enemy you encounter, you already have the strength to fight against everything.
The power of time.
Although, now can only temporarily stop time, maybe only a few seconds, but for Lin Zifeng, these few seconds, combined with the strange red flame, even in the face of the soldiers who were equipped with modern weapons in the past, are enough to retreat.
By the way, Jiang Hanyu doesn't know if she's awake, I should go and take a look.
Lin Zifeng got up and walked towards the room, with an indescribable smile on his usually calm face, he wanted to share this with them, and they would be the first to know their secret.
As soon as he pushed the door in, he saw the two of them looking at the plate on the bedside table with strange faces. Lin Zifeng looked at the glass of milk poured on the plate, and couldn't help but be a little funny.
Didn't you just accidentally knock over the milk, why did you look like you had seen a ghost?
Seeing Jiang Hanyu, who had woken up, Lin Zifeng was a little relieved, and the two of them, who were originally surprised, saw Lin Zifeng come in, and the strange expression on their faces disappeared for the time being, but they just turned their heads to look at him and chuckled.
The girl lay in his arms and sobbed, beating his chest gently, telling the worry in her heart, talking about what happened last night, and even Luo Bing on the side began to lower her head slightly when she heard this, and her eyes were a little moist.
Lin Zifeng quietly reached out and pinched the smooth hand of the woman in the long skirt on the side, Luo Bing, who had been watching the two hugging each other, and his heart was also a little sour, his cheeks were slightly red, and a sweet smile melted at the corner of his mouth again.
"That's right! Brother, you weren't there just now, something very strange happened! Jiang Hanyu finally remembered something, raised his head from Lin Zifeng's arms, looked at the plate next to him with some fear and said, "Obviously no one touched it, but it suddenly started to move on its own, and then the cup on it poured." ”
Lin Zifeng was also about to ask what happened to this weak-looking girl last night, at first he thought that his ability had worked, causing the bullet that should have pierced his chest to stop.
But thinking about it carefully, the surrounding environment had not changed at that time, and he still clearly remembered the moment he heard the gunshot, the kick that Wang Yao kicked on Gao Shuai's wrist and Jiang Hanyu's hoarse shout as he looked at him.
And it was with this voice of pain and despair, and then something seemed to appear in front of him, blocking the bullet.
If he didn't guess wrong, the invisible barrier that suddenly appeared should be related to Jiang Hanyu. When the girl who passed out was sent to this room last night, Lin Zifeng had already told Luo Bing about it, and the two of them probably had the same opinion.
In Jiang Hanyu's body, the same changes should have occurred as Lin Zifeng. And that invisible wall is the embodiment of the power she possesses.
After hearing the words of Jiang Hanyu, who was still a little teary-eyed, Lin Zifeng subconsciously looked at the ordinary-looking plate on the side, and all the milk in the quilt had flowed out, spreading to the bottom of the entire plate to form a milky white lake.
The plate moved on its own? Lin Zifeng was also a little surprised, and a somewhat scary thought gradually emerged in his heart.
He cautiously looked around his surroundings, the curtains had not yet been opened, and the sunlight sneaking in through the cracks was all the light of the whole room, so it was slightly dark. And except for the two beautiful women beside him, there was no one anymore.
What a familiar scene this is, I often saw such a scene in movies when I was a child. When the girl is the only one in the room, the furniture in the empty room will suddenly move, or the open door will be closed inexplicably, and occasionally there will be strange noises coming from various corners.
The three of them swallowed their saliva in unison, and the soft bodies of the two women were tightly attached to Lin Zifeng's body.
There's a ghost!!
