Luo Yuan walked into the living room and saw that Ning Xiaoran had been moved to the sofa. Her eyes were closed, and her skin was as red as a cooked prawn. It was very similar to Wang Shishi's evolution.
"Don't stick together. Step back. Be careful," Luo Yuan said. Every evolution was a gamble. No one knew what kind of ability they would evolve into. It would be terrible if there was an accident.
Everyone stepped back with a complicated expression on their faces.
An hour had passed, but Ning Xiaoran still showed no signs of waking up. Luo Yuan's heart sank. He remembered that when Wang Shishi had evolved, she had not been this slow. She had woken up in a few minutes.
He walked over and touched her forehead. His hand retracted slightly as he was shocked to find that her body temperature was shockingly high. It was probably at least 60 degrees Celsius. This kind of temperature could even cook a human.
Luo Yuan sighed and shook his head. He said in a low voice, "Her body temperature is too high. I'm afraid she's dying. Prepare for her funeral."
"That's impossible. She was fine just now." Cao Lin said anxiously. Her eyes were wet. She and Ning Xiaoran shared the same bedroom and they had a good relationship. She could not believe that she was going to die so soon.
"Maybe there's a miracle?" Huang Jiahui said. "After all, we don't know much about evolved people. Maybe her reaction is different from Wang Shishi's."
"I hope so." Luo Yuan nodded. He touched his pocket out of habit. He suddenly remembered that he had thrown away all his cigarettes in order to train his Will. Huo Dong quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan waved his hand and asked Lin Xiaoji, who was standing nearby, "When did you evolve?"
Lin Xiaoji thought for a while and said, "It's only been a few days. I remember it was during the riot that night. We ran out of food and I was starving for two to three days. I was dizzy and ate whatever I saw. I even swallowed my quilt. It was so disgusting that I couldn't poop for a few days."
A few of the women frowned.
Lin Xiaoji did not care and continued, "I was lucky that day. A mutant beast was hit by a fighter jet and fell near my house. I was so hungry that I wanted to kill myself, so I was not afraid of anything. I walked out of the house and picked up a pile of meat. When I got home, I stuffed it into my mouth and fainted. When I woke up, I found out that I had become an evolved person."
Luo Yuan did not know what to say. He was so lucky. Maybe being an evolved person was a form of luck.
"Huh? Ning Xiaoran's eyes moved?" While talking, Cao Ling suddenly noticed that Ning Xiaoran's eyes were moving quickly. She was so surprised that she forgot to dissuade her. She quickly walked over and wanted to hold Ning Xiaoran's hand.
Luo Yuan wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
As soon as their fingers touched, Cao Ling's body felt like it was hit by a strong force. She staggered a few steps back and was held by Luo Yuan so that she did not embarrass herself. However, the strange thing was that the force did not stop. Instead, it passed through Cao Ling's hand to his body. His heart was slightly disturbed for a few seconds before the fluctuating force gradually calmed down.
"What kind of force is this? It seems like a wave. But it doesn't seem like it. "Luo Yuan thought to himself as he carefully felt the force.
"Cao Ling, are you alright?"
"Are you hurt?"
The women asked with concern when they saw Cao Ling's frightened face.
Cao Ling held her heart and only recovered after a while. She said in fear and pain, "I don't know. I feel like my heart is going to break. It's so scary. I thought I was going to die. "
"Don't be nervous. Drink some water and don't move. Check your body and see if you're alright." Huang Jiahui helped Cao Ling to a seat and passed her a cup of water.
Cao Ling held the cup and drank a few mouthfuls of water. She took a short break and calmed down a little. However, when she looked at Ning Xiaoran, she looked a little scared.
After a while, Ning Xiaoran's complexion gradually returned to normal. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She looked confused. "What … What happened to me? Why am I lying here?"
"Ning Xiaoran, congratulations on becoming an evolved person." Luo Yuan walked a few steps closer and smiled.
Ning Xiaoran was stunned. She said in disbelief, "I'm … an evolved person."
Luo Yuan nodded.
She looked at the crowd in disbelief and realized that in a short time, everyone's gaze had become very strange. What kind of gaze was that? There was defensiveness, fear, alienation, envy, and even … flattery. However, the only thing that was missing was the intimacy they used to have. Even Cao Ling, who was the closest to her, looked at her with caution and alienation.
Ning Xiaoran felt very uneasy. She touched her face worriedly and asked in fear, "I … Have I become ugly?"
The joy that had just sprouted in her heart turned into fear.
"You haven't changed at all. You're still very beautiful." An evolved person's powerful ability often made ordinary people feel very insecure in front of an evolved person. That was the price to pay for being an evolved person. He did not explain, but he believed that she would understand soon.
Ning Xiaoran blushed and lowered her eyelashes. She did not dare to look at him.
Luo Yuan felt helpless and changed the topic. "Can you control your ability now?"
"I don't know what ability it is." Ning Xiaoran lowered her head shyly and whispered. She was still confused about what kind of ability she had evolved into.
Luo Yuan took a glass of water from the table. It was still half full. He comforted her and said, "Try this. Hold it in your hand and increase your strength slowly. At the same time, feel the changes in your body."
Ning Xiaoran took the cup and subconsciously gripped it tightly. She felt a warm current flowing out of her body and into the cup. In the next moment, the calm water suddenly boiled violently as if it had exploded. The water splashed up to 34 centimeters high, and Ning Xiaoran was startled. She loosened her grip and the cup fell to the ground.
Luo Yuan caught it easily and passed it back to her. He said patiently, "This is your ability. It's like your limbs. You shouldn't be afraid of it. You have to understand it and control it. Try again."
Ning Xiaoran took a deep breath and gathered her courage to take the glass again.
"Take it slow this time. Increase your strength slowly and then calm down," Luo Yuan said. Ning Xiaoran's ability was stronger than he had expected. No matter how strong a mutated beast's defense was, its internal organs were always relatively weak. However, her ability seemed to be able to ignore its defense.
The water boiled again, but this time it was much slower. It took 10 seconds for it to calm down.
Luo Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "Your ability is still very weak now. You can't even kill a level one mutated beast right away. You have to practice when you have time. An evolved person's ability can be strengthened through continuous practice. Don't waste the luck that God has given you."
Ning Xiaoran could not help but nod. She looked at Luo Yuan, who looked gentle and kind. She could not help but admire him.
He had a good image. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips, and white teeth. Even his skin had become fair and smooth after he had added a point to his Physique. Especially in such a precarious apocalypse, the sense of security that his strength brought was fatal to women, especially innocent girls.
Everyone saw the change in Luo Yuan's attitude towards Ning Xiaoran. Those who had not evolved had mixed feelings and were not happy about it. They were afraid that from now on, Ning Xiaoran's position would be completely different. She would rise from the lowest level like them to the highest level like Wang Shishi and Huang Jiahui.
Luo Yuan would definitely save Ning Xiaoran first in the face of danger, because she was already an evolved person. She was worth training.
He felt like he was looking at a lucky person who had won five million in the lottery. He was envious! Jealous!
In the afternoon, Ning Xiaoran felt that everyone was distancing themselves from her. Even when she tried to help with the chores, she was rejected. They looked at her as if she was some kind of monster. She hid in a corner and watched her former companions busy themselves. She was very depressed. She did not know whether she should be happy or sad that she had become an evolved person.
Luo Yuan saw that and finally called her out. He said, "Many people are afraid of people with guns, but they are even more afraid of people who don't know how to shoot. That's because they might accidentally hurt others. Your ability is very lethal, so you have to master it and control it.
Look at Wang Shishi. Her ability is telekinesis, which is very dangerous. But she has reached the point where she can do whatever she wants, so people are not afraid of her anymore. So, if you want to go back to the way you were before, you have to master your ability. "
Ning Xiaoran felt refreshed and the haze in her heart dissipated. She nodded vigorously.
"But besides controlling it, you have to learn how to use it. This place can't be safe forever. Danger could come at any time. You have to at least learn how to protect yourself. If you want your ability to be lethal, you have to fight in close combat."
Ning Xiaoran's face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and said, "But … but I've never practiced it before."
"Don't worry, I can teach you."
Although Luo Yuan only had 5 points in close combat (he had added another point during practice), it was more than enough to teach a beginner like Ning Xiaoran.
"En!" Ning Xiaoran bit her pink lips and lowered her head in response.
Luo Yuan looked at Ning Xiaoran and sighed helplessly. It was a mistake for her to have such a powerful ability. He decided to give it a try and see if she had the willpower to persevere. He continued, "Start with the horse stance.
It's the foundation of martial arts. Firstly, it trains the strength of your legs, and secondly, it trains your body's stability. If you can't use the horse stance, your feet won't be able to hold the ground, and you'll fall easily. You're a beginner, so practice for 10 minutes today and add another 5 minutes every day. "
For a martial artist, the horse stance was very useful. A person who had practiced the horse stance would be more stable and explosive than a person who had never practiced the horse stance.
Luo Yuan then demonstrated the standard movement of the horse stance and asked Ning Xiaoran to follow.
Of course, the first movement was not very accurate, so he corrected her a few times. The constant body contact made Ning Xiaoran blush and dizzy.
"Brother Luo, can you teach me martial arts too?" Lin Xiaoji could not help but ask.
"You too. Let's all start with the horse stance!"
Huo Dong and the others were also tempted, but they were too embarrassed to ask.
In modern society, there were not many people who had practiced martial arts, and even fewer who could achieve anything. There were even fewer people who had practiced hard and persevered from a young age.
Luo Yuan said, "Let's all go together. Also, get Wang Shishi here."
Although Wang Shishi's ability was telekinesis, it would be good for her to improve her physical fitness. Besides, practicing martial arts could strengthen her willpower, which was good for her telekinesis.
Everyone was excited. Sun Xiaowu quickly ran into the villa to get Wang Shishi. Everyone had witnessed Luo Yuan's strength. Other than the fact that he was an evolved person (of course, they thought he was an evolved person), it was also because of his powerful knife skills. If he could teach them personally, even if they only learned a little, it would be beneficial for them for the rest of their lives.
