Chapter 5 Investigation

In terms of body appearance, in addition to becoming bald, skin has become better, and teeth have become whiter, Xiang Kun's body fat ratio has also decreased significantly, and his lower abdomen has become a lot smaller.

However, the weight has not decreased significantly, at the beginning of this year, when the company organized a physical examination, his weight was 86KG, and now it is 84KG, which can almost be said to be no fluctuation. What's more, from the 11th to now, it has been almost five days since I had eaten seriously.

From the subjective feeling, Xiang Kun also obviously felt that his legs and feet seemed to be more powerful, and he could feel it when walking, climbing stairs, and carrying things.

Thinking of this, he fell to the ground and began to do push-ups.

After graduating from college, Xiang Kun immersed himself in his work, lacked exercise, not only became a lot fatter, but also decreased his strength a lot. During the Chinese New Year, he went back to his hometown to play cards with a few old classmates, and after losing, he did standard push-ups, which could only be done at most fourteen times at a time.

Now, Xiang Kun has done 30 standard push-ups and is still at ease, and only after 50 strokes can he feel the weakness of his shoulders and triceps, and he can no longer maintain the standard posture after 58 strokes.

Of course, 58 standard push-ups can be a breeze for those who exercise regularly. But for Xiang Kun, who weighs nearly 170 pounds and has not exercised much for many years, from 14 times during the Chinese New Year to 58 times now, the improvement can be described as a leap.

Xiang Kun returned to the computer, recorded this set of data on the document, and then recorded the photos and other body data taken into it, and numbered it with the date.

Later, Xiang Kun did several sets of push-ups, including crunches and squats, which can be done indoors.

In addition to the limit of a single time is much higher than before, the overall muscular endurance is also several notches stronger.

In the past, after doing 14 standard push-ups at one time, you can do 13 more reps after resting for 1 minute, and then rest for 2 or 3 minutes, and you can only do 11 or 2 push-ups.

And now, after Xiang Kun has done fifty-eight strokes, he can rest for 1 minute, and he can do another fifty-eight strokes, as long as he has more than 1 minute of rest, he can complete the standard push-ups of a group of fifty-eight again, until the eighth group, it has become fifty-two strokes, and the muscles have obvious lack of strength and soreness.

So far, most of the physical changes that X has brought to Xiang Kun are good, beneficial, and gained.

But the problem that he has not been able to let go of is the problem of eating.

From July 11th to now, although most of the time is sleeping, but when I wake up, I have exercised a lot, and I have just deliberately carried out a lot of high-intensity freehand exercise, but I still do not have any hunger, and after a period of rest, the fatigue is quickly eliminated, and the muscle strength is almost restored.

He is very sure that his body is not undernourished or lacking in energy, and the current state is not purely psychological.

But is it true that just that little bit of chicken blood can provide so much energy?

His stomach has changed so much that he can take enough energy from that little bit of chicken blood to consume for so many days?

At six o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun went out and went to the food stall where he "borrowed wine to kill his sorrows" on July 11.

He found that when he came out to act after the sun had set, he seemed to be more energetic and excited, as if the moon in the sky would give him an inexplicable drive.

When he arrived at the food stall, Xiang Kun asked for the same wine and food as that day, he poured himself a glass of wine, did not drink or eat vegetables, just sat there, pretending to play with his mobile phone, while observing the surroundings with his spare eyes.

He was thinking back to the situation, remembering if anything unusual had happened, recalling whether there was anything unusual about the wine and food he had drunk at that time.

He sat down until almost eight o'clock, when Xiang Kun got up and walked to the owner of the food stall, and after settling the bill, he told him that he came to drink alone last Thursday night, and his mobile phone seemed to have fallen here, and he wanted to ask if he could see the monitoring - he found that there was a monitoring probe installed on the cash register counter.

Because Xiang Kun was a guest who had just consumed, the boss didn't talk much nonsense, and directly asked a guy to take him to see the surveillance.

Their surveillance video will be kept for a week, and if Xiang Kun comes a few days later, it is estimated that it will be gone.

Turning to the night of July 11, when Xiang Kun came to drink, from the surveillance video, he was drinking alone from beginning to end, except for the waiter who came to serve food and wine, no one else approached him.

At around 8:30, he got up to pay, then called Didi, and the car came two minutes later, and then got in the car.

Nothing unusual occurred.

After watching the surveillance video, after leaving the food stall, Xiang Kun did not call a taxi, and chose to run home directly.

The food stall is actually very close to his house, and if it takes more than five minutes to arrive by car, it will not take long to walk, but he deliberately took a long detour and ran a few kilometers more.

Under the moonlight, Xiang Kun had a feeling that he was running more and more briskly, and his physical energy seemed to never run out, so he accelerated, running wildly at a speed that seemed to be a 100-meter sprint, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Of course, his physical strength was not exhausted, and after running at this speed for less than two minutes, he felt a little out of breath and had to stop.

After returning home, Xiang Kun took a shower, drank a bottle of mineral water, sat down in front of the computer, recorded the "findings" of his trip in a document called "X Cause Investigation 1: Food Stalls", and put the surveillance video copied from the food stalls in the same folder.

At night, Xiang Kun still couldn't sleep, so he simply took the time to make a crawler script, automatically scraping information that matched his "illness" description from search engine search results and several target social platforms, and eliminating obvious film and television dramas, literary and artistic works and their related descriptions. Although the speed of grasping is slow, it is much more efficient than determining it one by one.

Then, every half hour, I would get up and do half an hour of exercise, push-ups, squats, crunches, glute bridges, planks and other freehand exercises in the room that would not make any movement.

And deliberately increased the difficulty for himself, such as various wide and narrow push-ups, weight-bearing squats, horse steps, some basic yoga movements found on the Internet, and even tried to do Russian-style push-ups - but the attempt failed, proving that there is still a limit to the improvement of his physical strength and coordination.

He wanted to see how far his body's energy consumption could be sustained, and when he would feel hungry again, but he still found it hard to believe that he could bear the energy consumption for so long just by relying on the little chicken blood he drank yesterday.

But the strange thing is that no matter how tired he is after a one-time workout, after a maximum of 20 minutes of rest, the fatigue of his muscles can recover almost completely, and he will not feel hungry or weakened, as if he can "recharge in the air" as long as he rests.

It wasn't until the morning that Xiang Kun felt a trace of fatigue in his body, but he vaguely felt that it was not caused by his own group of exercise movements, but related to "dawn".
