I don’t know how much time passed before Yang Xiao woke up.
Lying on the ground, he sat up after a while. His whole body was weak, as if he had been beaten by a dozen big men. He felt extremely weak.
Unexpectedly, he was still alive.
His memory returned to before he fell into coma, and he shook his head, suddenly remembering the terrible accident that happened in the laboratory.
The monster emerged from Chen Ling's body and killed Zhuang Yan.
But, why am I still alive?
At that time, I visually inspected the monster. It should be a terrifying creature that likes flesh and blood. It was impossible for him to eat Zhuang Yan and let himself go?
Forget it, I went back to the laboratory again, retrieved the records, and everything was clear.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao noticed something strange about himself. Not only were his clothes in tatters, but his body had also become extremely young.
what's the situation?
He touched his face and then his body. His chest muscles were well developed, his abdominal muscles were obvious, and even his height reached an astonishing height of over 1.8 meters.
No, this is not my own body! It's just that this body feels inexplicably familiar.
Terror, horror, and then all turned into a strange kind of excitement.
Could it be that he died and traveled through time?
As a staunch materialist warrior, he could not believe that he was resurrected in another body no matter what!
Standing up and continuing to examine his body, he discovered that there were more than fifty bullet holes in his beggar-like clothes and trousers.
However, there was not a single gunshot wound on the young body.
Unable to figure out why, Yang Xiao could only temporarily put aside his doubts and began to take stock of his surroundings.
This is a slightly primitive mountain forest. In Chongshan City, thanks to the ecological environment protection over the years, this beautiful mountain forest has gradually recovered.
Yang Xiao took a glance and found no man-made objects such as wires. He reached into his trouser pockets and searched for it. Both pockets were already worn, and his cell phone had been lost somewhere.
Because he is very resistant to implanting artificial devices in his body, Yang Xiao does not have a smart computer in his body.
Now, after temporarily losing my phone, there is no way to determine my location or call for help.
Although there were no external injuries to his body, he was still very weak. There are no forest trails, so he can only walk through the mountain forest by the faint light among the leaves. Fortunately, there are no traces of large wild animals around for the time being, otherwise, Yang Xiao would feel that he would be cold again.
Judging from the surrounding vegetation and geological environment, he should at least be above the earth.
Due to the lack of direct sunlight, it is not hot in the mountains and forests.
There was no direction anyway, so Yang Xiao subconsciously walked in the direction of the sun. However, because of his physical weakness, he walked a little slowly.
Although this body is young and muscular, it is really weak now. Licking his dry lips, Yang Xiao felt tired and thirsty not long after walking. At the same time, along with the sound of his stomach, he felt an indescribable hunger coming towards him along with dizziness.
"No way? How long has this body not eaten? Could it be that after finally resurrecting, I am going to starve to death here again?"
At this moment in the mountain forest, Yang Xiao did not find any edible food or small animals. He did not know much about herbs and plants. If he tried randomly, he would probably die faster.
There is no other way but to continue moving forward with increasingly heavy steps. In this way, little by little, he always walked in the same direction.
Fortunately, the road is boundless. Just when the strength in his body gradually disappeared, and Yang Xiao was about to give up, he seemed to hear the sound of running water.
At first, he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but as the sound gradually became clearer, he realized that there must be a source of water ahead.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva and breathing heavily, Yang Xiao finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. Regardless of his exhaustion, he stumbled in that direction.
Sure enough, not far away was a life-saving creek.
Looking at the gurgling mountain spring water, Yang Xiao burst into tears.
He finally felt the despair of being at the end of his rope in ancient literature.
Burying his head directly into the stream, he greedily devoured the rare source of life. That kind of dry land, and the hearty dew dripping from it for a long time, instantly made the pores all over his body feel so comfortable that it opened.
Lying next to the stream, looking at the clear sky, Yang Xiao breathed hard the sobering air in the mountains and forests.
It's great to be alive.
Although I still felt hungry, at least I wasn't thirsty anymore. After lying down for several minutes, he stood up again.
Just drinking water is not enough.
No matter what, if I encounter this stream in the mountains and forests, I will starve to death. Yang Xiao had noticed that there were many fish swimming in the clear stream, and several methods of fishing suddenly came to mind.
Just when he was washing the dirt off his body and preparing to have a big fight, Yang Xiao was stunned when he looked at the water.
Because, the reflection on the water surface actually looks like Zhuang Yan!
Touching his face, he confirmed again and again, and Yang Xiao sat down immediately. His face was strange and his eyes were full of disbelief. He couldn't figure out why he turned into Zhuang Yan!
He remembered clearly that Zhuang Yan was dead.
In the laboratory, Zhuang Yan was obviously torn into pieces of flesh and blood by the monster.
What happened to all this?
Why is he still alive, and why is his consciousness resurrected in Zhuang Yan's body.
He couldn't figure it out, and there were too many mysteries that puzzled him.
With so many terrifying bullet holes on his body, there must be some stories that he doesn't know.
Everything should be related to that mysterious and terrifying monster. Now, he can only put aside his doubts temporarily. Yang Xiao knows that only by surviving can he unravel the mystery.
Using rocks from the stream, he skillfully broke off the upper stream and diverted it, and he quickly cleared a small depression.
After pouring the water clean, Yang Xiao not only got six small fish, but also thought he had harvested a crab.
There was no fire at all, and small fish and crabs became his food directly. Although it was a small amount, the high-quality protein still relieved a lot of hunger and did not make him continue to feel weak.
Unexpectedly, I still have a lot of talents in surviving in the wild.
After eating something, Yang Xiao calmed down and sat aside to rest for a while. Suddenly he remembered something and his expression tightened.
He remembered that Zhuang Yan once loved living in the wild and often participated in outdoor activities. That brat also likes to make videos of his experiences and put them on his social platforms.
As a teacher, I also gave him a thumbs up and reminded him to pay attention to safety in the wild.
Could it be that the resurrected body still retains something of Zhuang Yan? For example, familiar skills? Or, simply memory fragments?
No wonder I just thought of several ways to fish in that moment, and even had some knowledge about making fires in the wild, keeping warm, and identifying directions in my mind.
Zhuang Yan should be familiar with all this.
But why do I remember everything about myself?
Alas, there are more and more mysteries.
When he thought of Zhuang Yan dying because of him, Yang Xiao felt more and more guilty. He actually really liked this student.
Not only is he extremely intelligent, but he is also very capable of calming down.
These days, except for some really interested graduate students who can choose the unpopular major of paleontology, there are really not many people like Zhuang Yan who study it as a lifelong career.
Yang Xiao knew that Zhuang Yan's IQ had been tested and reached an astonishing 190 points. You know, ordinary people can only score 60 points, and few smart people in society can score more than 100 points.
I remember the graduate entrance test. After testing, Zhuang Yan's brain development had reached 13%, far exceeding the 5% of normal people.
As a professor, after so many years of knowledge, I am only 7%. The reason why I can become Zhuang Yan's teacher is just because I have gained more years and accumulated more.
For Yang Xiao to discover that this brat was really smart was another matter.
Yang Xiao didn't know about it until he went to Country R for a meeting. Zhuang Yan not only devoted himself to the study of paleontology, but also completed two doctoral degrees in advanced bioanatomy and gene targeting training by himself, and completed several internationally leading results in R country. Because of this, he came into the eyes of some real high-level officials, and was favored by the artificial evolution of country M, who recruited him to become a top researcher.
Since he has no children, Yang Xiao is really training Zhuang Yan as his successor.
But in the end, the two parted ways due to ideological issues.
Originally, Zhuang Yan still had a bright future.
At least there were still several decades to work towards a future that Yang Xiao could not imagine, but he died in the laboratory.
Alas, God is jealous of talents.
Just when Yang Xiao was thinking a lot, he suddenly felt a chill creeping up his back, and instantly, goosebumps all over his body stood up.
It was a strange perception.
Danger is approaching!
His pupils shrank, he stood up suddenly and began to observe his surroundings carefully.
A black shadow flashed quickly through the woods. The steps were light and lightning fast, but they made almost no sound.
There was only a hint of breeze, which picked up a few dead leaves under the tree.
The originally very quiet mountain forest suddenly became even quieter.
Holding his breath, Yang Xiao slowly knelt down and picked up a branch as thick as an arm.
He stared at the direction where the black shadow appeared, his muscles tensed up, and his heartbeat began to beat violently due to the high degree of tension.
Big wild animals!
Although he only had a glimpse of the black shadow, Yang Xiao could still roughly estimate the huge size of this animal.
In recent years, Country Z has attached great importance to ecological and environmental protection and encouraged the establishment of many virgin forest reserves.
Thanks to this, many wild animals, even large beasts, have recovered in small numbers in the mountains and forests.
