Seeing the surprise on the faces of Xu Xiaoxiao and Huang Bingtian, Xian Yuqi's downward-curved mouth showed a hint of pride.
He didn't mean to buy anything, the old man in black explained.
"Simply speaking, Gangqi is similar to some kind of energy."
"energy?"
"That's right, you have all seen wood, right? The burning process of wood is equivalent to Gangqi."
After hearing this metaphor, Xu Xiaoxiao and Huang Bingtian were still confused.
"Why is this related to wood again? Grandpa Xianyu Qi, can you put it more simply..."
There was a bit of embarrassment on the girl's face, as if she felt that her IQ was too low and she was a little embarrassed.
"Hey, little girl Xiaoxiao, the adenosine triphosphate in the human body is equivalent to wood!"
"Ordinary people can only use these wood to build houses and make furniture, but there is no way to stimulate the energy in it!"
"And warriors, after tempering their bodies and reaching a certain level, will have the fire to light the wood!"
"After adenosine triphosphate is 'burned', the energy released is called 'Gang Qi'!"
After hearing such an explanation, Xu Xiaoxiao and Huang Bingtian's faces showed signs of awakening.
Dare to love is such a thing.
But what does this magical Gangqi have to do with mutated creatures? From what Xian Yuqi said before, the mutated baboon seems to have some kind of 'innate energy' in its body...
Could it be that it is still a talented baboon that is naturally suitable for practicing martial arts? !
While Xu Xiaoxiao and Huang Bingtian were thinking wildly, Xian Yuqi coughed again, wiped the blood from the corners of his face and mouth, and continued to explain.
"In the past, it was not easy to practice 'Gang Qi'. Among ten ordinary people, only one or two with extraordinary qualifications could get a glimpse of the martial arts."
"But it's different now. Under the influence of the secondary virus, it seems that the human body is more likely to produce Gangqi. Well...you two have a part of it in your body..."
Saying that, Xian Yuqi nodded at the girl and Huang Bingtian.
"We have it too? But we don't practice martial arts... Could it be that the old gentleman is referring to... spiritual energy?"
When Xu Xiaoxiao was still in a state of confusion, Huang Bingtian's reaction was obviously faster, and he immediately thought of the differences between himself and ordinary people.
"Oh? Is it psychic? It's not easy to get this name..."
Xianyu Qixin spoke directly and commented directly without any attempt to hide it.
"Really psychic?!"
Xu Xiaoxiao and Huang Bingtian looked surprised and said in unison.
"It's almost the same as ten. Although there is a slight difference, it is still the same."
As he spoke, Xian Yuqi stretched one arm forward and spread his palm in front of the two of them.
In an instant, cyan light particles precipitated from the surface of the old man's skin and gathered in the palm of his hand, forming a pulsating flame.
"This is Gang Qi."
"It's really cyan... Old sir, you are already a fifth-level ability user? But why can't I sense your aura?"
Seeing the green flames dancing in Xian Yuqi's hand, Huang Bingtian's face showed uncontrollable joy and he asked excitedly.
"Uh... I don't know about that. Maybe it's because I'm not infected with the secondary virus?"
Facing the questioning, confusion flashed across the old man's dark face. He closed his palm and the green flames suddenly disappeared.
"Besides, I don't know what you mean by a fifth-level ability user. My cultivation level is that of a half-step celestial being."
"Half-step heavenly being..."
Huang Bingtian repeated it several times in his mouth. Although he was full of questions, he had no intention of asking on the spot.
The secrets of the two old men, Black and White, cannot be clarified in a few words.
Thinking about this, Huang Bingtian simply put aside his curiosity for the time being and turned to look at the broken corpses at the bottom of the explosion pit.
"That mutated beast should be completely dead, right?"
"It's so dead. In fact, we were careless at first. We didn't expect that this strange beast contained innate energy..."
Xianyu Qi murmured, his eyebrows knitted together.
"Anyone who practices martial arts, the Gang Qi in the body will flow according to a specific trajectory. Previously, there was no defense, and the innate Gang Qi in the body of this strange beast disrupted its own trajectory. This guy will be defeated on Monday. …”
"So, Senior Li Baiyi became what he was just because of a 'sneak attack'?"
A flash of understanding flashed across Huang Bingtian's face and he spoke.
"That's not entirely true. The main reason is because his cultivation level has skyrocketed and he has entered the realm of gods and humans."
"But Grandpa Xianyu Qi, didn't I hear Grandpa Li Baiyi say before that he had just touched the threshold of the Heavenly Realm before the disaster broke out?"
Although Xu Xiaoxiao's thinking was not very flexible, his memory was quite good, so he asked his question smoothly.
"Xiao Xiao Nuwa, what he said on Monday was just to make up for his own cultivation, and it was just pretentious... In fact, we were half-stepped into heaven before the disaster."
The dark-faced old man had a hint of complexity in his eyes. He turned his gaze and looked at Li Baiyi, who was being carried away.
"So that's it..."
Xu Xiaoxiao's mouth opened slightly, astonishment appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.
"If this guy on Monday could master the inheritance left by the master, and coupled with the breakthrough brought about by the virus cure, I am afraid that he would be able to cross the realm of heaven and man long ago and stabilize in a higher realm..."
Xian Yuqi said, sighing with some hatred for iron.
"Just now, it was because his 'will' was not strong enough, which caused the energy in his body to go retrograde and he lost his mind."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao and Huang Bingtian understood everything.
No wonder Li Baiyi's attack just now made no distinction between friend and foe. He had clearly killed the mutated creatures with three slashes, but he had to use a more powerful fourth slash to whip the corpse.
It turned out that he had lost his mind.
After clarifying his thoughts, Huang Bingtian stopped asking any more questions. Anyway, Xian Yuqi had already expressed his intention to contact the senior management of the shelter. It seemed that there was more important information to be disclosed to the military.
If there was anything that he, the soldier commander, needed to know, someone would naturally tell him when the time came.
After Xianyu Qi said this, he also practiced silent meditation, blending into the background like a bystander.
After Li Baiyi was carried into the underground shelter, the old man closed his eyes.
Except for the occasional glance at the girl and the broken corpse, he closed his eyes the rest of the time, as if he was recovering from his lost energy.
It can be seen that Xian Yuqi has a good impression of Xu Xiaoxiao, but his relationship with the military is somewhat distant and somewhat distant.
Huang Bingtian didn't think too deeply. He just called two familiar helpers from among the ability users and carefully moved towards the explosion crater.
The mutated baboon's mutilated carcass cannot just be left in the open. It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
After a brief inspection, several people confirmed that the mutated baboon was indeed dead, and one of them communicated a few words with the walkie-talkie.
After a while, several figures in protective clothing quickly appeared on the other side of the training ground.
The first one among them is naturally Qiu Qianjun.
When Xu Xiaoxiao came to the training ground to help, he already knew that a powerful mutant beast had broken into the shelter.
However, Qiu Qianjun did not show up immediately.
It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the brain enhancement system is too precious, so Qiu Qianjun does not have the right to make independent choices in many decisions.
"How many of us died?"
Through the thick mask of the protective suit, Qiu Qianjun's first question to Huang Bingtian was about the casualties.
"Eight died and three were injured..."
After saluting Qiu Qianjun, Huang Bingtian said sadly.
"I see."
Qiu Qianjun's expression became a little more solemn, and he turned to look at the explosion crater not far away.
He did not step forward to check immediately, but activated his first-level ability on the spot.
【Predict future】
It’s never a bad thing to be cautious!
But when Qiu Qianjun opened his eyes, there was a strange look on his solemn face.
Without speaking or making any unnecessary movements, Qiu Qianjun strode forward and squatted down in front of the broken corpse.
After removing the two arms protecting his chest, the soldier in protective clothing leaned forward and put his hand into the half-open chest of the corpse.
It looked like he was taking out something.
The whole scene was so weird that everyone around them subconsciously held their breath and waited quietly.
After a while, Qiu Qianjun pulled his hand out of his chest.
The thing in his hand was not some bloody organ, but a small black plastic bag.
Except for Qiu Qianjun, everyone in the surrounding audience was dumbfounded.
Why is there a black plastic bag in the chest of this mutated creature?
"This is...the organ of a mutated creature?"
Huang Bingtian was confused and took a step forward to take a closer look.
"No, this is just an ordinary black plastic bag, the kind used to hold garbage."
Qiu Qianjun's voice came out from inside the mask, sounding loud and angry.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qiu Qianjun flipped his hands and quickly untied the plastic bag.
It's just that the plastic bag is not full of things, but empty.
Qiu Qianjun didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and took out a white note.
Seeing something being taken out of the bag, everyone stretched their necks out of curiosity.
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back his curiosity and rushed to ask.
"Master Qiu Qianjun, what is written on this note?"
Qiu Qianjun let out a long sigh, and without even looking at the contents of the note, he immediately turned his palm over and showed it to everyone.
There are only eight big characters on the white note——
A small gift is not respectful.
Other than that, there are no extra words or symbols.
"What does it mean……"
After seeing clearly what was written on the note, Huang Bingtian felt that his heart had skipped several beats, and a strange feeling began to crawl on the surface of his skin, slowly wrapping around his body.
"I don't know, maybe it was a gift from someone..."
Qiu Qianjun handed the note in his hand to the handler on the side, reached out and took off the mask of the protective suit.
"We...may have been targeted..."
