It took a long time for Chen Bin to collect his emotions and start thinking about the weirdness in himself.

There is no doubt that everything started after the hangover I experienced last Friday.

Rather than conjectures about "sickness," these changes are more like some kind of small-probability genetic mutations.

Now he is stronger and eats more. In addition to the scales on his arms and chest, his emotions have become difficult to control.

All this is consistent with signs of mutation.

But why did I mutate? Is it because I drank fake wine from that food stall?

After careful consideration, Chen Bin changed his clothes again. In order to prevent his "illness" from uncontrollable changes, he must figure out why he mutated.

And, find a way to treat this mutation.

Soon he came downstairs, got on his little electric donkey, and went to the place where he got drunk last Friday.

Food stalls generally only operate at night, and not even a human hair can be seen during the day.

Chen Bin was not in a hurry. He found a secluded corner across the road, lit a cigarette, and waited silently for dark.

Until the evening, when the food stall opened as usual, Chen Bin pretended to be passing by, sat in the same seat, and ordered a bottle of white wine and a few skewers.

The cheap wine glasses smelled like low-quality alcohol and looked like artificially blended wine.

At first, Chen Bin suspected that his mutation might be related to drinking fake wine.

But looking around, most of the other guests ordered the same drinks, fist-pumping and making noises in groups, without showing any signs of discomfort.

After observing for a long time, Chen Bin didn't find anything strange, so he had to focus on the barbecue stall owner.

This is a greasy man with a fat body and a big belly. He is extremely ordinary in appearance and clothing.

Chen Bin often comes to this food stall to spend money, and he is quite familiar with the boss. In his impression, he is an easy-going and honest vendor.

Even if he sells artificially blended fake wine for profit, it is impossible to obtain materials that can mutate himself.

After confirming that the source of the problem was not here, Chen Bin had no choice but to get up and leave.

The streets were very cold after midnight, and he was walking home lonely, trying very hard to recall what happened after he was drunk that night, but he couldn't remember anything.

"Oh shit!"

The irritability surged into his heart again, and Chen Bin couldn't help but kick the trash can on the roadside.

With a bang, the trash can actually dented, which shocked Chen Bin himself.

It happened that at this time, a fashionably dressed beauty passed by the trash can and was splashed with dirty water on her skirt. She immediately screamed in fright and looked at Chen Bin angrily.

"Are you sick?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Chen Bin said sorry subconsciously, but was stunned when he looked up.

He had rarely seen such a beautiful woman, with a tall figure, an S-shaped water snake waist, and long wavy hair that lay diagonally on her 34C big breasts, exuding a mature and charming aura.

Why is there a beautiful woman walking along the road this late at night?

Chen Bin was a little confused. He subconsciously glanced at the entertainment city on the street, then curled his lips and smiled knowingly.

It's probably the lady from the entertainment city who came out to solicit customers in the middle of the night. It's a shame to be so beautiful.

If it were another man, he might ask the beautiful woman about the price of a night out, but Chen Bin didn't have this kind of spending habit, so he shook his head and walked away.

"Stop!"

But the woman chased after me angrily, "You soiled my skirt, what do you say?"

"I've already apologized."

Chen Bin also had a bad tone. His experiences over the past few days had made him particularly irritable.

The woman was very dissatisfied with this answer and cursed coldly, "You stinky loser, you really have no quality!"

"Who are you calling a loser?"

Chen Bin paused and turned around to see the woman's face full of coldness and disdain.

"I scold anyone who turns around. I really don't know how your parents taught you, and you don't have a good attitude to apologize!"

"If you talk nicely, what does it have to do with my parents?"

Chen Bin is extremely angry. He has lived in a single-parent family since he was a child. He is particularly concerned about others talking about his parents and immediately responded, "Aren't you just a street girl? You go out to solicit customers in the middle of the night. Which one of us has no quality?"

"What did you say?"

As soon as she heard the words "street girl", the woman immediately went crazy. With a look of shock and embarrassment on her face, she ran away and rushed towards Chen Bin.

"Asshole, how dare you think of me as that kind of woman..."

Chen Bin immediately dodged, but the woman flew away due to her unsteady center of gravity and almost fell into the flower bed. She seemed to have been greatly wronged and her eyes were red with anger.

"Are you okay..." Chen Bin also realized that he spoke a bit too much. He was about to reach out to help a woman, but the other party opened his hand rudely.

"Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"

Chen Bin had no choice but to retract his hand. Before he could say anything, the busty beauty walked angrily towards a red car on the side of the road and quickly got into the cab. She did not forget to give Chen Bin a gnashing look.

"Smelly loser, do you know who I am? Don't let me see you next time, otherwise I will make you look good!"

After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away, leaving Chen Bin stunned on the spot, sprayed in the face by the car's exhaust.

Damn, what is this?

Chen Bin laughed dumbly, shook his head, and did not pay attention to this episode. He still walked with his head down and returned to his rental house.

After a day's delay, I was already very hungry when I got home.

Chen Bin opened the freezer, took out the raw meat he bought yesterday, cut it into thin slices, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Now I can't accept any other food except raw meat.

Even if you force yourself to eat cola instant noodles, bread, milk, etc., you will vomit it out due to nausea.

Only raw meat, the fresher the better, especially the kind of raw meat that smells like blood, can arouse his appetite.

Secondly, the change in food intake almost made Chen Bin feel collapsed.

After the mutation, he can eat at least four kilograms of beef in one meal. This is based on strict diet control. If he eats with an open belly, seven or eight kilograms of raw meat is not a problem.

Even the cheapest raw pork on the market costs more than ten yuan a pound. Three meals a day, the food cost alone is more than two hundred.

If this trend continues, he is very likely to become the first mutant in human history to starve to death because he cannot afford meat. It is really ironic.

The top priority is to find a way to cure his "strange disease" as soon as possible.

After filling his stomach, Chen Bin turned on his computer and tried to find answers online.

He described the changes in himself in detail by posting anonymously, hoping to find someone who had the same problem as him.

The country of China is so big, there is no reason for me to be the only one mutated.

Unfortunately, after browsing for most of the night, I still feel nothing.

There were quite a few people who commented online, and most of them were doing it for fun.

"Please, it's the 21st century, who would believe such a ridiculous thing?"

Chen Bin also thought all this was ridiculous, but the facts made him miserable and he could only find a place to post everywhere.

After working all night, I finally waited for a more reliable reply. A netizen named Lao A commented,

"Pica, coupled with physical and emotional changes, may be the awakening of ancient genes."

"This is not a genetic mutation, but a rare atavism. The history of human evolution exceeds 200,000 years, but the actual recorded history is less than 5,000 years. During the 190,000-year historical window, human ancestors What to do?"

"Perhaps there are some ancient genes in each of us that are only activated under certain circumstances."

This reply attracted Chen Bin's attention, but when he clicked on the replyer's homepage, it was blank.

The other party should not be online frequently and has not left any personal information.

Helpless, Chen Bin had no choice but to leave a message through the background, hoping to get further communication from the other party.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no reply.

It was already dawn, and Chen Bin decided to rest for a while and try again after waking up.

Not long after I closed my eyes, I was awakened by the noisy ringtone of my cell phone.

"Who is it?"

Chen Bin pressed the answer button impatiently, and soon came the urging voice from his colleague Zhao Peng.

"Chen Bin, did you miss work again yesterday? Come to the company quickly. There are important personnel appointments to be announced today!"

"The company's personnel appointments have nothing to do with me?"

Chen Bin said this, but he quickly got up and changed into work clothes.

A penny stumps the heroic man. He is so good at eating now. If he loses his job again, he will probably have to sleep in a bridge hole in the future.

Half an hour later, Chen Bin slowly arrived at the company gate. From a distance, he saw Zhao Peng waving to him, "The morning meeting is about to start. Follow me upstairs."

Chen Bin said listlessly, "Why are you so excited? You have to take a breath before hanging yourself, right?"

Zhao Peng looked around and pulled Chen Bin to a place with fewer people.

"Let me tell you some inside news. The head office has sent a woman to serve as the president. I saw her upstairs just now. She looks really amazing. Behave well. The new leader will rectify the discipline of various departments. Maybe your promotion opportunities will be different. arrive."

"real?"

Chen Bin's eyes lit up. What he lacked most now was money. If he could get a promotion and a better salary, at least he wouldn't have to worry about food in the future.

"Why are you lying to me?"

Zhao Peng pulled Chen Bin and left. It happened that the elevator door opened at this time, and a long-haired woman with a proud attitude and professional attire was walking out of the office accompanied by a group of company leaders. She almost bumped into Chen Bin.

"why you?"

Chen Bin wanted to say sorry, but when he saw the woman's appearance, he instantly became furious.

Isn't this the "street girl" last night?

The woman also saw Chen Bin who was stunned on the spot. She was startled at first, as if she suddenly thought of something, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth in a joking manner, and asked the senior executive accompanying her,

"Is this person also an employee of our company?"

The HR manager immediately squeezed out of the crowd, nodded and bowed like a flattering pug, "Mr. Zheng, you guessed it right, his name is Chen Bin, and he works in the Information Department."

"That's it!" The woman narrowed her long eyelashes and smiled jokingly.

Chen Bin was petrified on the spot.

He looked at this arrogant woman in disbelief, and his forehead felt as if it had been struck by lightning, making a buzzing sound.

The other party is actually the new president of the company?

What kind of bad luck did you get?
