It was as if his whole body was scorched by the sun, as if his brain was soaked by the venom of a poisonous snake, as if his blood was replaced by murderous sewage, as if his soul was swallowed by a dark abyss … Everything was rotting, transforming, and reborn … Life was tumbling in the darkness, walking on the precipice …
Suddenly, Xu Yanjing's eyes regained their brightness, but his eyes were definitely different, as if they could see through … dimensions.
The pain from his abdomen, where his internal organs had been completely ruptured, had disappeared. Not only had they been repaired, but they had also been strengthened; the same was true for his skin, flesh, and bones. He was not used to the feeling of being reborn yet, as well as the unprecedented feeling of strength …
He was still lying on the floor, but the changes were so precise.
His physical fitness was at its best during his junior high school years. The movements he could perform at that time were surprising to him now that he was older. He could casually do a pull-up on the horizontal bar in the school field, do somersaults, jump very far, and run very fast; and when he fought against others on the basketball court, he did not feel any pain even if he fell to the ground, and even if he was injured after that, he would usually recover after a good night's sleep …
Xu Yanjing had always thought that that was the peak of his body. After high school, his body continued to go downhill, and it was even worse after he graduated from university and started working. Not to mention pull-ups and somersaults, he could even bend down to pick up things, and that was definitely not due to lack of exercise.
That was because his body was withering, becoming weaker day by day, and all aspects of energy were gone forever. Everyone was like this …
But now, suddenly, he felt a hundred times better than the impression he had left in his junior high school days.
With a thought, Xu Yanjing flipped over and immediately got up from the floor. It was so easy, and abundant strength was about to burst out of his muscles. He looked down at his arms, and both of his biceps were bulging, a size that he had never had before.
"Congratulations." Yao Xuchang stopped and looked over. "You've evolved successfully, and it seems like … you're a Naga."
"A Naga?" Xu Yanjing murmured, thinking of the mutant with a snake head and a human body in the video he had just seen, with a flat head like a cobra … He quickly walked to the side of the living room and looked at himself in a mirror hanging on the wall. His body had obviously become stronger, and he seemed to have grown a few centimeters taller.
He raised his hand and touched his neck and head. They had not completely changed, but he also found signs of a Naga: his tongue had become a snake's tongue.
It had only been a few minutes, but the tongue had undergone such a huge change. Some parts had shrunk, and some parts had grown, turning into a long snake tongue. The color of the tongue was scarlet. He still had to explore its special characteristics …
"Nagas are the closest to the forces that we come into contact with, so it is easier for them to become stronger. They usually have a higher status in the Naga Naga."
Yao Xuchang said as he walked closer. His tongue, which he didn't even reveal when he spoke before, quickly curled up. It was the tongue of a Naga. Yao Xuchang continued, "In our batch of evolvers, the serpent-people are the least in number. Once they become serpent-people, they will be stronger than the others."
Yao Xuchang added, "In our batch of evolved humans, the number of Nagas is the least. They are stronger than the others from the start."
The disgust and uneasiness that he had felt when he watched the video had all disappeared. What was missing was that strange feeling he had. He looked at the snake's tongue as if it was the most ordinary and normal thing. It was supposed to be like this … But when he thought of the human tongue in the past, he felt a sense of disgust.
It was as if it was a tumor that flowed with pus, and it was really not something worth remembering …
"Now, I'm also an Naga." Xu Yanjing thought, "Homo Evolutis."
"How is it?" Yao Xuchang smiled. "You should be grateful to me now, right?"
Xu Yanjing's heart was filled with that restlessness again. He glanced at the guy next to him. He still wanted to beat him up, or rather, the desire was even stronger. He wanted to cut off his flesh piece by piece …
However, his senses that had become clearer warned him of danger. The other party was still stronger than him. If he fought him now, it would definitely not end well.
"If we can both survive and live a better life, I have to thank you," Xu Yanjing said. "Is that the problem?"
He said as he turned to the kitchen. In fact, since he regained consciousness, he had been surrounded by a strong sense of hunger, and it got stronger with each passing moment. He tried to taste hunger, but he had never been so hungry before. Even if an elephant or a whale was placed in front of him, he would eat them all.
He opened the fridge and hurriedly took out the leftovers and gobbled them down. He almost swallowed the plate. Then there were snacks, fruits, canned food, eggs, cereal … Be it raw or cooked, even eggshells and banana peels, everything that could be eaten was stuffed into his stomach.
Xu Yanjing kept swallowing the uncomfortably stuffed esophagus, but there was a sense of growth in his body that urged him to continue eating.
His muscles were still growing, his bones were also growing, and the transformation of his head was still continuing … He could feel all of this. He wanted more, more …
"The energy of this food is limited." Yao Xuchang's tone was rather disdainful. "It can only satisfy your hunger in the beginning, but you'll soon find out that this won't satisfy you anymore. It won't be able to release more of your life force."
"Then what are we going to do next?" As Xu Yanjing continued to swallow a few bags of dry food, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. It did not matter if it was because of his conscience or the influence of the beasts, he could not help but ask, "Are we going to eat humans …"
"Eat humans?" Yao Xuchang scoffed. "What do you think we are? We're not even interested in ghouls, they like to eat dead bodies. "
Xu Yanjing quietly let out a sigh of relief, but he still felt uneasy. Even if they did not eat humans, they would still kill them …
At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door from outside, and a serious voice came in. "Mr. Xu, we are Phecda's patrol team. We heard the screams of a patient with Abnormal Cranial Nervous Disorder Syndrome in your room, so we came to see what's going on. Please open the door immediately. If you're the one who's acting up, we'll bring you to the treatment center for treatment. "
"So they're here already." Yao Xuchang said.
Xu Yanjing instantly felt anxious, but he was also surprised by the man's calmness. "If you don't wish to end up like that Inhuman, you'd better have a solution."
"Look at how anxious you are. This is a place where we can come and go as we please."
At the same time, the knocking on the door grew louder. The Phecda members outside shouted, "Mr. Xu, be careful, we will be breaking down the door in 5 seconds. We are authorized to use our full force, any resistance will be at your own risk."
The Phecda members started to count down. Xu Yanjing saw Yao Xuchang take out a round object that looked like a badge from his pocket. It was the size of a palm and was carved with strange and beautiful patterns. Yao Xuchang's finger pressed on the badge. Suddenly, the space around them shook and ripples appeared.
"This …" Xu Yanjing gasped in shock. He could feel his surroundings twisting but he could still stand.
"This is just a very common space folding device." Yao Xuchang explained, "In the Inhuman's city, it's nothing more than a gadget from a grocery store."
'Space folding technology?' Xu Yanjing was speechless. For the human civilization, this was nothing more than a sci-fi concept …
However, at that moment, the dimension of the space around them started to change. The surroundings became a sea of whiteness and there was an indescribable light swirling around it.
Xu Yanjing's heart skipped a beat. At one moment, he saw the door being broken down by the Phecda members. A group of armed men rushed in. They looked around cautiously but they found nothing. The only things they found in the kitchen were some scattered utensils and packaging.
When he blinked, he could no longer see these things. The blinding light around him started to soften.
There were all kinds of messy noises entering his ears, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear again. When it was still blurry, there seemed to be a lot of steel, huge steel … and there was a black substance attached to the steel, like the skin and flesh of some giant beast … It was not dead, it was alive, even the steel was alive …
It was full of vitality, abundant power, and infinite passion. It was a life that was constantly flowing, a real life …
When his vision returned, Xu Yanjing saw the scene before him clearly and he was strangely excited.
"Welcome to the outpost city of the Alliance of Life's Will, Prestige City." Yao Xuchang carried the hamster cage in his hands and walked forward. "Come on, there are many outpost cities like this and I hear there are even bigger cities but this is the best I can come to."
