Virus Throne

Chapter 5. Evolution! Awakening Skills

Xu Youran and Dongfang Bai headed towards the main city, looking for some mutant beasts to practice with, and occasionally replenishing supplies when they came across some food stores.

In the process of killing mutant beasts, the two slowly summed up some rules.

In areas where humans originally lived, such as residential areas, schools, and hospitals, there were generally not many mutant beasts, and they were relatively weak.

The closer to the wilderness, the more mutant beasts there were, the more species there were, and the stronger they were.

The two of them roughly analyzed the reasons. It might be that in the original human settlements, with the disappearance of a large number of humans, the mutant beasts lost their main food source.

There were many kinds of food in the wilderness. There were plant foods that could be eaten without meat. Many mutant beasts were omnivorous animals before they mutated.

When they consciously approached the wilderness and farmland to kill more mutant beasts, they also discovered some limitations of the awakening skills.

A large group of mutant voles taught them a lesson. Xu Youran's shield had a limited area, which was a big flaw. When encountering too many mutant beasts, they usually could not provide all-round protection.

At most, three of his ground spikes would appear at the same time. When summoning the fourth, the first one would disappear.

Dongfang Bai's air grenade's weakness was also revealed, and the maximum number of them could not exceed ten at the same time.

However, Dongfang Bai's strong hand-to-hand combat skills and sharp palm sword barely made up for this shortcoming, and her almost invulnerable skin also added a guarantee for her safety.

Most importantly, they found that awakening skills consumed not physical strength, but mental strength.

Long-term or frequent use of awakening skills would cause severe pain in the brain and dizziness.

This large group of voles caused great trouble to the two. Among the voles, there was a particularly large voles leader with a faint bronze body, who was particularly fierce.

The huge teeth of the big voles flashed with bronze light. Not only could Xu Youran's stabs not hurt it, but it even bit a gap in Xu Youran's shield.

The two fought and fled, and with their increasingly tacit cooperation, they barely escaped from the living range of the voles.

Hiding on the rooftop of a residential building on the 30th floor, the two took a short break.

Dongfang Bai was caught by voles several times despite Xu Youran's best efforts, but his skin was not even scratched. Xu Youran was not so lucky. In order to protect Dongfang Bai more, he was bitten by voles several times.

Because he had been bitten by mice before and was infected with rabies. After surviving the outbreak of rabies, Xu Youran mastered the awakening skills, so he didn't care too much.

But the facts proved that he was too young and too naive. He overestimated his resistance to the virus, or his virus gravity constitution was too strong.

At night, when the two were preparing to find a place to rest that night, his rabies broke out again.

This time, because he was prepared, he didn't bite the slippers again, but a ball of cotton cloth.

The severe pain was more severe than the first outbreak of rabies. Xu Youran, whose limbs were tied by Dongfang Bai, still silently used natural energy to resist the pain.

Dongfang Bai could only guard him nervously, but there was nothing he could do.

Just when Xu Youran was about to be knocked down by the pain and completely fainted and lost consciousness, the natural nine-turn operation was completed, and it seemed that countless indescribable substances in the body were absorbed into the dantian.

Xu Youran only felt a sense of relief all over his body, broke out in a sweat, and let out a long breath.

He survived another virus outbreak, each one more painful than the last, making him tremble all over when he thought about it.

Dongfang Bai skillfully helped him untie the ropes and found a wet towel to help him wipe the sweat off his face.

He said with some heartache: "How do you feel now? Did you survive it?"

Xu Youran paused for a while and replied: "I should have survived it. It was much more painful than the last time. It may be because I was bitten again. It seems that if I am hurt by mutant beasts in the future, I will get sick again. My physique is a bit pitfall.

Dongfang Bai helped him up and said: "Why don't we stay in this building tonight and find an empty room to rest for a night. ”

After overcoming the attack, Xu Youran quickly recovered as usual. He let go of Dongfang Bai's hand and stood there in contemplation for a while.

"I seem to have a new feeling, similar to the previous feeling, but slightly different."

"What do you mean? You have awakened a new skill again?" Dongfang Bai was a little surprised.

"It's not a new skill, it's still the same feeling as before. It's just a stronger sense of control, as if it's a stronger sense of control over materials such as soil. "

Xu Youran said as he looked at his palms. The cool autumn breeze blew across their clothes. Xu Youran's palms were slender and powerful under the cold moonlight.

"Shua" he raised his left hand, and a large bronze shield flashed in his hand.

"Shua, shua, shua" he raised his right hand, and three bronze spikes appeared on the side wall.

Xu Youran looked at the large shield and the spikes on the wall. Before, his large shield and spikes were all black, but now they have turned into shiny bronze.

"Is this an evolution?" He was a little confused, because this phenomenon has never appeared in the known human world.

He once thought that he had been infected with all the viruses, so in theory he could comprehend all the awakening skills.

But what happened now was completely beyond his expectation. After being infected with the same virus and suffering from the same disease, his awakening skills could actually evolve. Does that mean that as long as he keeps being infected with the same virus and suffering from the same disease, his awakening skills can continue to evolve? Is there an end to this evolution?

He waved the large shield, but the weight didn't change. He smashed the large shield against a piece of cement again. With a "bang" sound, the cement block shattered into pieces, leaving only a few scratches on the large shield. It seems that the sturdiness has been strengthened a lot.

His bronze thrusts should have also been greatly strengthened, and his attack power should have been raised to a higher level.

This evolution made him think a lot. Normal humans usually develop antibodies and immunity to the same virus, which means that people who have been infected with the pneumonia virus will almost never be infected with the pneumonia virus again.

Why can I be infected with rabies virus continuously? Or is it that the virus has mutated now and everyone can be infected with the same virus? Why does the awakening skill evolve after being infected with the same virus?

Countless mysteries were in his heart, and he sighed silently. "Why does my system have no manual? I have to explore everything by myself."

He looked at Dongfang Bai aside and said, "Do you think it's strange that I can be infected with the same virus and my awakening skills can evolve?"

"I won't be surprised what happens when the world becomes what it is now. Besides, you are just stronger and our chances of survival are higher. This is a good thing."

Dongfang Bai is a very sensible, reasonable and considerate girl. Sometimes Xu Youran even feels that her emotional intelligence is higher than everyone he knows.

"There are some people with innate immunity deficiency in this world, but there has never been a person with innate immunity deficiency like me. Those patients have defective immunity, but I have no immunity at all." At this point, Xu said Youran smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Tell me, if you are pecked by a pigeon again and are infected with the pneumonia virus, will your awakening skills also change?" Xu Youran had some questions.

Dongfang Bai thought for a while, "I guess first of all, it should be difficult for me to be infected again, because I may already have virus antibodies. Secondly, if I am infected, I will get sick, which is very painful. Although I can bear it, evolution may not occur. ”

The two of them went downstairs while chatting, found a random house, broke the door lock and entered the room.

This is an ordinary house with two bedrooms and one living room. Maybe when the virus broke out, there was no one at home, so there was no other dirt in the room except for dust.

The two of them cleaned it briefly and found that there were two bedrooms, one for each person. The previous owners seemed to be a couple, and there were clean clothes in the cabinet.

The water heater in the bathroom was still able to take a shower. The most surprising thing was that the refrigerator was always working. They found a few bottles of Brave World Beer in the refrigerator.

The two of them, who hadn't washed themselves in several days, quickly started cleaning in shifts. I took a shower and wiped my body clean.

Xu Youran quietly looked at herself in the mirror. Her once weak body had slowly begun to strengthen. Although she was still very thin, her muscular lines were vaguely visible.

The thin and thin face is not much worse than those of popular traffic niche students. The eyebrows are like two sharp swords, flying diagonally into the temples, and the eyes are as deep as the starry sky, which is definitely a powerful weapon to seduce women.

He had just cut off his hair, which had not been trimmed in more than a year, and shaved off his messy beard. His short round hair style made him look particularly heroic.

As he put on the clothes of the man of the house, he smiled in the mirror and said: "Congratulations, young man, you are still alive!"

When he opened the bathroom door and walked out, Dongfang Bai, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, was stunned.

In the past year, everyone has been busy running for their lives, and it is rare to take a safe bath, let alone modify their personal appearance.

As soon as Xu Youran, who was fresh and handsome, walked out of the bathroom, Dongfang Bai's face turned slightly red.

Fortunately, they didn't turn on the lights in the living room for fear of attracting mutant beasts, so they couldn't see Dongfang Bai's reddish face in the darkness.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, she grabbed the mistress of the house's clothes on the sofa and rushed into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of shower water coming from the bathroom, Xu Youran took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, opened it, and took a cool sip.

"Huh!" A refreshing feeling that penetrated his heart made him exhale softly.

A year ago, Xu Youran was a sick man, and his family had no source of income. Finding a good-looking girlfriend like Xu Xin was already a high achievement.

A school belle-level beauty like Dongfang Bai doesn't even dare to dream.

But now under this beautiful moonlight, there is a little dim light in the bathroom, and such a beautiful woman is taking a bath.

Xu Youran only felt peaceful and comfortable in her heart, like a husband waiting for his wife to come out of the bath, slowly drinking beer.
