Not far away, Lang Hua's stress reaction continued.
I saw that his brows were frowning and his teeth were clenched tightly. The veins under the skin of his forehead popped out and twisted, as if the blood was about to break through the wall of the tube and gush out. Although the convulsions caused by muscle spasms in his limbs have not ended, fortunately, Lang Hua's condition is stabilizing.
Finally, Lin Qian said slowly to the air in front of her: "Let's just believe Lang Hua and wait a little longer."
"I know." Yang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her big eyes flashing with crystal light.
"Brother Lang Hua is the strongest, he... will be fine."
…
The short ten minutes seemed like an extremely long time to Lang Hua at this time.
After thirteen years of experience in the apocalypse, it should be a normal thing for him to practice and advance.
However, although his mind is experienced, Lang Hua's body at the moment is too immature. Cutting tender meat with a dull knife will cause almost ten times the mental damage and torture. Very few evolvers have swallowed the "Vortex Potion" during the first level. Not only because the "Vortex Potion" is precious and rare, but also because its effects are so powerful that non-low-level evolvers can withstand it.
It is common sense that one can do great things with one's ability. Similarly, if people on the evolutionary path are compared to "containers" at different stages of growth, then the types of pharmaceuticals they adapt to must also be differentiated.
Lang Hua also had this consideration in preparing PDG1-type crystal nucleation agents for others.
Because evolvers live in an apocalyptic ecology, it is a natural process to accumulate evolutionary energy and then advance to breakthroughs.
If the energy absorbed by the crystal core in daily life is compared to a winding stream, then the biannual eruption of spore black mist is like a large river. The flow of "evolutionary crystal energy" increases, and the amount of water is abundant, which in turn "rises all boats", prompting the acceleration of evolution.
Compared with the first two, the effect of the crystal core potion is like a waterfall, a big river falling down. While the flow is abundant, the water falls violently, and its powerful potential can cause certain harm to the human body.
Of course, compared to the huge improvement in strength brought about by taking the medicine, this little side effect can be ignored.
However, there are also exceptions among crystal core medicines.
Just like this special potion formed by melting away the essence of the "Black Mist Vortex". The effect is absolutely comparable to an early spring flood. After the upper reaches thawed, the ice was unstoppable, cutting through the river bed and widening the river channel. The benefits for the evolvers are unprecedented, and the foundation damage is much more severe than the above three.
Lang Hua had to admit that although this adventure was necessary, it was more of a gamble. Overestimating one's own abilities is no different from overestimating one's abilities. After a long time, Lang Hua recalled this recklessness, even he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
But there is still a risk of blowing up a balloon if you can't hold on to the strength and blow it up. There is no "quick and good" way to improve your strength in this world.
If people want to pass through the rift valley that stretches in front of them, they either have to spend more time and energy to take a detour, or they have to walk on a tightrope from the cliff to the dark side.
The so-called shortest straight line between two points is just a theoretical shortcut.
Planes still have to take great circle and equiangular routes, and take detours through air corridors and route maps. When driving a car, you have to make a U-turn. Once prompted to detour, you have to go around. Otherwise, why don't you try crossing in the opposite direction?
Reality is less idealistic.
Everything has a price, and everything leaves people with not many choices...
Fortunately, the adverse reactions caused by swallowing the vortex medicine disappeared as quickly as they came.
Afterwards, the discomfort suddenly receded like a tide, and Lang Hua felt clearer than ever before. Another feeling of fullness and fullness filled every corner of his body.
Lang Hua thought to himself, it’s done.
In the first week after the apocalypse began, he finally became a second-order evolver, and initially had the strength and capital to brave the apocalypse.
I still remember myself in my previous life, who was still living a frightened life in the Shashi Orphanage. Compared with that time, this speed is not unpleasant!
Lang Hua opened his eyes suddenly. For a moment, a light orange light flashed in his pupils.
The light orange energy crystal core will also show light orange pupils when using abilities. This is the sign of being a second-level early evolver!
The nuclear energy in the apocalypse is similar to the more typical radiation energy. As the evolutionary level goes from low to high, the energy level changes, and the wavelength of the radiation spectrum becomes shorter in turn. The spectral color segments mutate at the peaks of the same order, appearing as seven bands: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
In the same band, there are three stages from shallow to deep, representing the early, middle and late stages of the same evolutionary level. This kind of quantitative naming does not have any meaning, it is just for the convenience of referring to the evolutionary state. For example, the pink, red, and dark red in the early, middle, and late stages of the first-order red stage, and the light orange, orange, and dark orange in the second-order orange stage.
The light orange light just flashed away, and if you didn't observe it carefully, this faintness would be almost invisible. Because Lang Hua did not activate his ability state, the evolutionary energy that reached the second level in his body was temporarily in a dormant period.
What caught Lang Hua's eyes were expressions of relief from Lin Qian and Yang Xiaoxiao.
Lang Hua felt guilty. Although he was mentally prepared for the discomfort during the promotion, he ignored the reactions of the people around him.
After all, he was used to being a loner. He had little experience in these matters since his rebirth, so it was inevitable that he would not think carefully at times.
But this is fine, the more experience you have in the early stage, the less losses you will suffer in the later stage. It's not like I can always be by their side.
"Brother Lang Hua, you're worried about me."
Yang Xiaoxiao hugged her with tears in her eyes and used too much force, hitting Lang Hua's chest painfully. After the transformation, although his mind was clear, his whole body was still burning, as if he was falling apart.
"Hiss. You want to murder your own brother?" Lang Hua almost lost his breath when he was knocked down.
"Humph, I'm going to kill you. Even if I kill you, I won't be relieved." The little girl hummed into Lang Hua's arms, but her little hands were unceremonious, twisting her fingers to twist the man's waist.
The victim rolled his eyes: "Well, it's a good thing I don't have only one breath left. Otherwise, if the potion hadn't taken care of me, I would have been strangled to death by you."
"Just strangle you to death, strangle you to death. Just now... you scared me just now. Brother Lang Hua, I... I don't want you to die, ugh..." As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Yang Xiaoxiao was crying and her body was shaking, which made Lin Qian and Lang Hua feel distressed.
Lang Hua gently stroked the little girl's hair and said quickly: "Be good, Xiaoxiao, don't cry. Look, am I not doing well?"
"I... can see it. I know, I'm just afraid."
Lin Qian pulled the crying little girl aside: "Why, are you still clinging to your brother and want to give him a full body examination?"
Hanging on Lang Hua like a koala really made Yang Xiaoxiao's face turn red with embarrassment.
But she still said reluctantly: "Sister Qian, you are serious. If you want to hug me, just say so. It's so disrespectful..."
Lin Qian hurriedly raised her hands to defend: "I didn't, I'm not."
"Uh-huh..." Yang Xiaoxiao trailed off, but was pushed further away by Lin Qian.
Seeing that Lin Qian could still stand on the opposite side, she could barely maintain her emotional stability. Lang Hua felt more confident about her. After the disaster, Lin Qian suffered many changes, and she probably really grew up a lot.
At this time, she asked Lang Hua with concern: "Xiaohua, how are you feeling now? Do you need to rest?"
"No need," Lang Hua shook his head.
He explained: "After successfully advancing to the next level, I will be full of strength. It is better to rescue Uncle Yang and the others as soon as possible. As time goes by, there are too many variables."
"Brother. You entered the second level and awakened new abilities?"
Yang Xiaoxiao's face changed quickly, and her eyes looked expectant after wiping away her tears.
"No." Just listening to his tone, Lang Hua didn't feel very sorry.
He said: "However, the original three abilities of 'Edge', 'Charge' and 'Crystal Core Field' have been strengthened. I think it is enough."
"That's right, Xiaohua, don't be discouraged." Lin Qian comforted her warmly: "It's not the number of abilities that represents the level of combat power. You can't bite off more than you can chew. Besides, if you awaken conflicting miscellaneous abilities or useless abilities, Wouldn’t it be counterproductive?”
Lang Hua nodded in agreement.
Lin Qian is the eldest in the three-person team. She didn't want to live up to her expectations. Lin Qian kept all the theories that Lang Hua had said in her heart.
Awakening your ability to bite off more than you can chew? Perhaps it is true for ordinary people.
But Lang Hua is a special case.
As a man in two lifetimes, he has struggled in the apocalypse for longer than Lin Qian went to school. For him, evolutionary abilities naturally come to him, and the more, the better.
However, Lang Hua also knows that awakening one's ability cannot be forced.
Otherwise, why would we not see the "gravity field" where we awakened again after crossing the "big pass" from the late stage of the first stage to the second stage this time?
At this time, Lang Hua turned around and faced the north, which is the northern part of District 3 and the location of Shashi People's Hospital.
He clenched his hands into fists and said, "Sister Qian, Xiaoxiao. Without further ado, let's set off!"
Black Street Entertainment City is located on the southwest edge of District 3, far away from the densely populated residential area in the middle of the county.
If the three-person team wanted to go directly to Shibei People's Hospital, they would have to go all the way through the entire residential area.
Different from the undeveloped areas on the outskirts of the city and the "high-tech industrial city", there are many residential buildings and a permanent population of up to 300,000. It can be said to be the distribution center for the entire district and county. Since there were many living people before the disaster, how could there be so few black corpses after the disaster?
Traffic on the roads in the city center is congested all year round. After Advent Day, the order is chaotic and the road conditions will only get worse, so driving is simply out of the question.
The motorcycle found on the black street had to be abandoned because it was parked outside Lin's club and was surrounded by corpses.
Good luck did not always favor Lang Hua. After a simple search for means of transportation to no avail, they decided not to delay and headed north. The real challenge is the unpredictable dangers along the way and the fierce battles that may occur once you get to your destination.
Just walking dozens of kilometers is a piece of cake for second-level evolutionist Lang Hua. As for Yang Xiaoxiao, who is in the first stage of perfect state and is a speed user, he can still be on par with Lang Hua.
On the contrary, Lin Qian is in the middle of the first level and has not neglected her training. It was actually one point slower than Yang Xiaoxiao, who had the lowest cultivation level, and always fell not far behind the two of them.
"Brother Lang Hua, look," Yang Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile as she ran on the road, "Sister Qian is out of breath, as slow as a snail, following us to eat dust."
"Breathe steadily and don't talk to disrupt the rhythm." Lang Hua warned.
Yang Xiaoxiao winked at him for a while.
"Oops, Sister Qian made a foul. Her big breasts were swinging back and forth, which made me dizzy. I can't even run fast!"
Lin Qian said angrily: "Damn girl, stop!"
"Yeah, help, help! He's going to die! The big cow is speeding up~"
Yang Xiaoxiao screamed again and again, and even Lang Hua surpassed him...
