A simple campsite was set up by the lake. The wilderness survival skills that Grandpa Hunter had taught Xia Fan in the past were finally put to use.
The campsite was beautifully built. Between two large trees, a framework was built by entangling vines, and then layers of soft branches were laid over it. It was both hidden and warm.
Their food consisted of fish caught from the lake or hares caught in the jungle.
Twenty-seven kilometers south of the lake, there was a small farm. A kind-hearted old couple lived there. Xia Fan traded his prey for salt and other seasonings.
The old couple ran a four-thousand-hectare automated farm. They thought Xia Fan was a homeless child, so they invited Xia Fan to live on the farm and help them with their work. In exchange, they paid Xia Fan food and a salary.
But Xia Fan refused, because he had more important things to do.
He added the leftover grilled fish from last night, water, and wild oats he collected from the forest to make a pot of porridge for his breakfast.
After breakfast, Xia Fan stood by the lake and looked at the endless grassland. He said to himself, "Don't worry, no matter how hard it is, I will live!"
Of course, this was for Grandpa Blind Man and the scourge to hear. Even though they could not hear it, Xia Fan still used it to motivate himself.
The dead would never be forgotten. Xia Fan slowly thought it through. Instead of being sad, it was better to live a good life. After all, this was the biggest hope of the people in the tomb. Their spirits in heaven would always be watching over him, and Xia Fan did not want to disappoint them.
After collecting his thoughts, Xia Fan began to practice a set of exercises.
This was the Astral Mantra, a compulsory course for every superpower user. Even though Xia Fan did not have any superpowers in the past, the scourge still taught him this basic exercise.
Thirty minutes later, the warm-up exercise was over.
Xia Fan let out a long breath and leaned his body down. He pressed one hand on the ground and got into a strange starting position.
Then, he gritted his teeth and exerted strength in his legs. The explosive force started from his thighs and went to the tips of his toes.
* Bang! *
Xia Fan's whole body shot forward!
In the blink of an eye, he reached an unbelievable speed of 153 m/s!
Yes, speed!
This was the superpower he gained after unlocking his seventh brain region!
The wind howled in his ears. The trees on both sides of the road retreated quickly. Xia Fan was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the air!
Just two weeks ago, Xia Fan's speed could only reach 112 meters per second. Now, it had exceeded 150 meters per second, reaching the beginner level of a Star Base.
In the past, it took Xia Fan more than ten years to reach a speed of 112 m/s, and he also consumed an uncountable number of level-nine energy crystals.
But now, once the mysterious seventh brain region was opened, Xia Fan's speed began to skyrocket! In just two weeks, he broke through to the Constellation rank!
Every day, his speed was steadily increasing, becoming faster and faster!
9.18 kilometers per minute, 550 kilometers per hour, Xia Fan sprinted madly!
Although Xia Fan was far away from the Empyrean Winged Wolves, the Demon Sealing Blood still flowed through his veins!
At high speed, it was as if he had a pair of wings on his back, flying through the Milky Way!
The men with the surname Xia in the Tian Yi family had always been this overbearing!
Without any technical support, Xia Fan's training method was very simple. He would run as hard as he could until he was exhausted. Then he would rest for a while on the spot and return to his nest by the lake. He did this every day, tirelessly.
Suddenly …
Xia Fan, who was running, sniffed. There was an unsettling smell in the air from afar.
Xia Fan was startled. He immediately turned diagonally and sped up, heading in the direction of the smell.
A minute later, Xia Fan saw a scorched land. In the center, there were a few hover cars, one of which was an ambulance from the hospital.
A doctor and two nurses were about to put a patient on a stretcher when Xia Fan rushed over in a panic.
It was only a few hundred meters, but Xia Fan closed the distance in the blink of an eye.
"It's a speed-type superpower user!" A male nurse saw Xia Fan and shouted in surprise.
When he got close, Xia Fan pushed the bespectacled doctor away from the stretcher and pulled out the needle from the patient's body.
"It's a three-inch skull! It's highly toxic! "Xia Fan said quickly as he observed.
The male doctor, who was pushed away by Xia Fan, was furious, but now his eyes widened. Just by looking at the patient's face, he could accurately say the name of the poison? Wasn't this young man too amazing?
Who would have thought that in the next second, Xia Fan would angrily shout at the doctor, "You're injecting antidote into a person who was bitten by a three-inch skull? Which teacher taught you that? Do you want to kill him?! "
"What else can we use if not antidote for snake venom?" The doctor retorted, "Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?! Have you ever been to medical school? "
Xia Fan could not be bothered to argue with him. He touched his spatial ring and took out a box of black ointment. Using a measuring spoon, he pried open the patient's mouth and poured the ointment into the patient's mouth.
The doctor panicked. He went up to push Xia Fan, but he found that he could not move the patient at all.
"Go away! Who's responsible for delaying treatment?! "
"Call the police! Report it to the Special Task Force immediately!"
The nurse, the ambulance driver, and the two bystanders all took out their phones and dialed the number. Before they could call the police, the patient suddenly vomited violently, spewing a large amount of black liquid from his mouth.
Xia Fan tore open the patient's pants and aimed his mouth at a shallow wound on his calf. He sucked the black liquid out and spat it on the ground, then rinsed his mouth with water.
"That's deadly poison! How could you suck it with your mouth?! "A blonde nurse with plump hair yelled, clutching her chest.
Xia Fan said helplessly, "Snake venom is protein. It's not dangerous as long as it doesn't enter the bloodstream. Don't you know that?"
Xia Fan learned his poison skills from Grandpa Chef. He was puzzled that the medical staff outside the tomb had such a poor foundation. The doctor gave the patient medicine randomly, and the nurses did not understand the chemical structure of snake venom. How did these people even work in a hospital?
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded. Xia Fan looked so young, but he scolded a group of doctors and nurses like they were children.
The black ointment was continuously poured into the patient's mouth to induce vomiting. The color of the liquid became lighter, and the patient's face recovered from its previous dark green color. However, his eyes were still closed, and he did not wake up.
"Water, I need more water!" Xia Fan yelled to the people around him.
Unknowingly, Xia Fan had become the center of attention. The others hurriedly brought bottles of mineral water. Xia Fan poured the water into the patient's abdomen, and the patient's stomach bulged.
Xia Fan lifted the patient with one hand, his head facing the ground, and pushed the patient's abdomen with the other.
"Pfft!"
Like a mountain torrent, the patient vomited violently, almost throwing up his internal organs.
This scene frightened the people around him and the doctors, but they were also surprised to hear a long sigh from the patient's mouth.
"He's recovered! He's really recovered! " The blonde nurse said excitedly. The doctor was dumbfounded. Xia Fan's treatment methods were something he could never learn in medical school. It completely subverted his medical knowledge.
"Well, at least he's alive." Xia Fan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Give this uncle an injection of active alkali. Don't eat anything for three days, and only drink water."
"Swoosh!"
Just then, another hover car came from afar. A man and a woman got out of the car. The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with chestnut-colored hair and a hot body. The man was in his thirties, with high cheekbones and sharp eyes. He looked very smart.
"They are superhumans!" Xia Fan thought to himself, slightly stunned.
"It's this guy!" The doctor rushed up and pointed at Xia Fan, complaining, "He's the one who used his superpowers to stop us from treating the patient. Arrest him!"
The man with sharp eyes looked Xia Fan up and down, then curled his lips and took out a bright silver badge from his pocket. He waved it in front of Xia Fan and said, "Hello, we're investigators from the Alliance's Special Task Force."
.....
The Special Task Force's base in Mirror City, the capital of Buryatia.
Xia Fan was locked in the interrogation room, and no one showed any interest in him for a few hours. He was bored and looked at the sea outside through the floor-to-ceiling window. There were no waves on the sea, and it was as smooth as a mirror. This was how Mirror City got its name.
There were only a few shallow lakes on the God's Mausoleum. This was the first time Xia Fan had seen the sea. Looking at the endless sea, he felt excited.
Suddenly …
Someone pushed the door of the interrogation room open and walked in.
It was the female investigator with chestnut-colored hair and a hot body. She kept her head down, reading a stack of files in her hand.
"Sit." The female investigator pointed at the seat opposite her. Judging from the badge hanging around her neck, her name was Chu Yan, and she was a junior investigator.
After Xia Fan sat down, he asked with a smile, "Is the uncle who was assassinated out of danger?"
Bang!
Chu Yan, who was reading, suddenly closed the file and stared at Xia Fan. "How did you know he was assassinated? According to the records, the doctor and nurses confirmed that you arrived at the scene after them, and you weren't there at the time of the incident. "
Xia Fan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's simple. The uncle was wearing reinforced fiber sportswear, and there were obvious sweat stains on his back and chest. He also had an exercise recorder on his wrist, which means he was jogging when he was attacked."
"The location of the attack was in a remote area 47.6 kilometers away from the city. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to run such a long distance to exercise, so the uncle is likely to be a superpower user. Around the area where he was attacked, the grass was burned. The burned area was 182 square meters, and the shape was a regular circle, which means it wasn't a natural fire. The uncle fought back after discovering the venomous snakes, hoping to use his fire superpower to drive the snakes away."
"Unfortunately, the uncle didn't understand the power of the three-inch skull, or he didn't know what kind of snake was attacking him, so he chose to use fire. If it were me, I would have dealt with it calmly. After all, once the fire started burning, it would affect my observation and judgment, and it would be harder for me to find the snake."
"But from this, it proves that the person who assassinated the uncle has the superpower to control animals. If the uncle could find the enemy, he probably wouldn't have wasted so much effort to burn a small snake. He would have just knocked the enemy down, and the snake would lose control, so there would be no danger."
"The only explanation is that the uncle's assassination was premeditated. The killer knew the uncle's habits, so he hid nearby, and when the uncle appeared, he controlled the snakes to attack."
Chu Yan, who had beautiful chestnut-colored hair, was more and more surprised as she listened. Her mouth opened unconsciously. Only a few people in the police station knew about the Censor's attack, and Xia Fan was definitely not one of them. Obviously, he had come to this conclusion on his own.
Finally, Xia Fan touched his chin and said with a smile, "The killer almost succeeded. If I was a minute late, the amount of serum that the stupid doctor injected into the uncle's body would have killed him. It was so close."
