Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 369: Resistance and End [Part ]

The chaotic consciousness slowly returned.

"Where am I? By the way, I'm doing a new awakening ritual."

Meng Hao's consciousness gradually recovered.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was the black iron roof.

At that moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

But in a flash, he remembered his current situation.

Previously.

He had just turned fourteen and successfully passed the registration screening.

Afterwards, he and everyone else were taken to a huge factory area.

There, someone sprayed a stream of white gas towards his face.

In an instant.

He lost consciousness before he could react, and his whole body became drowsy, as if he had fallen into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Recalling this, Meng Hao suddenly came to his senses.

He subconsciously tried to move his body and sit up.

But at this moment, there was a sharp tearing sensation in the neck, as if countless sharp needles were pricking it.

at the same time.

He realized that he was sweating all over. His clothes were already soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, and he felt weak and powerless.

However, this bad situation did not last long.

As time passed, strength began to slowly return to his body.

At the same time, the pain was slightly relieved.

at this time.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the side and stopping beside him.

Meng Hao turned his head and saw a young man in a white coat standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"I……"

What did he want to say.

But because of the wound on his neck, every word he spoke was hoarse and extremely painful.

"Your wound has not yet fully healed, don't rush to speak."

The young man is Lu Hong.

He looked at Meng Hao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Interesting, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to survive."

Meng Hao felt a tightness in his heart when he heard this.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a person lying on the iron bed not far away.

The man was covered in a pool of blood, which flowed down the edge of the bed and gathered into a dark red stain on the ground.

His body was motionless and his head had disappeared, leaving only an empty neck. The scene was extremely horrifying.

This scene scared him.

As a result, he accidentally pulled the wound, causing his facial muscles to twitch in pain and his face to turn pale instantly.

"These people's transplants failed and there was rejection, so they died. You don't have to be afraid.

Because you have successfully transplanted, you are now a formal evolver."

Seeing this, Lu Hong explained with a smile.

At the same time, he also recalled the scene when Hu Qi transplanted wild beast organs.

All three of them survived.

I originally thought it was very simple.

But when he started doing it himself, he realized how difficult it was.

Of course, Hu Qi couldn't do all the work such as transplanting and cultivating runes himself. After all, it would be a waste of time for him.

He spent some time compiling a book specifically for rune organ transplantation and taught it to others. Lu Hong and Lu Shan were among the learners.

Although the knowledge in the book has been simplified as much as possible, it is still difficult to understand for most of them who are illiterate.

Fortunately, the evolvers are different from ordinary people and have strong learning abilities. They quickly mastered this technology.

However, even if you learn it.

Due to the special location of some rune organs, accidents are still inevitable during the transplantation process. Coupled with the rejection reaction after transplantation, the mortality rate remains high.

It's good enough if one out of ten people who receive a transplant is successful.

This is because the evolvers themselves are able to manipulate the etheric strays to stop bleeding efficiently, otherwise the death toll would be even higher.

Such a horrific mortality rate.

Even if those people knew, it still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for participation.

Just by becoming an evolver, you can become a superior person.

They are willing to take risks just for the tiny chance.

And Meng Hao.

He is one of only two survivors among the dozens of people who underwent transplants by Lu Hong.

Meng Hao naturally didn't know what Lu Hong was thinking. Feeling the pain in his neck, his face twitched as he looked at Lu Hong in front of him.

A strange idea suddenly popped up in my mind: It would be great if I could transfer the injuries on my body away.

This idea came extremely suddenly, without any warning.

Just when he felt his idea was ridiculous.

But what he never expected was that as soon as this thought came to his mind.

Lu Hong, who had been standing aside with a calm expression, suddenly groaned.

Followed by.

His head tilted, and his neck seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and blood spurted out instantly.

It all happened so suddenly and without any warning.

Lu Hong's face changed drastically, his figure flashed, and he instantly bounced away from his original position, distanced himself from Meng Hao, and appeared ten meters away.

He glanced around vigilantly, but found nothing.

Fortunately, although the wound was serious, he was able to recover thanks to his physique as a peak third-level evolver.

It didn't cause him any serious damage. In just a few seconds, the wound began to heal and the blood stopped seeping out.

Lu Hong's eyes were filled with shock and anger.

But no one noticed the sneak attack.

I can't help feeling a little confused.

However, at this moment.

I saw that Meng Hao, who was originally lying on the iron bed, had sat up at some point.

The originally pale face regained some color.

"My lord, are you okay?"

Seeing Lu Hong's gaze.

Meng Hao couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Saw this scene.

Lu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then he seemed to have thought of something.

"How does the wound on your neck feel?"

When asked this by the other party.

Only then did Meng Hao realize that his neck didn't hurt at all.

"It doesn't seem to hurt anymore."

Hear the words.

Lu Hong's eyes flickered slightly.

He walked straight to Meng Hao and tore off the gauze that was wrapped around his neck.

His eyes looked towards his neck.

I saw that the skin there was intact, without even a tiny wound.

But how is this possible?

He cut the other person's neck himself.

Even if the other party becomes an evolver and his physique is strengthened, it will not be able to heal in a short time.

It took three full days for the wound he had transplanted to heal completely.

"Tell me honestly, what did you do just now?"

Think about this.

I thought of the location of the wound on my neck.

Lu Hong looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body.

Meng Hao’s face turned pale.

In his feeling, Lu Hong in front of him seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast that would choose its prey at any moment.

He had a premonition that if his explanation failed to satisfy him, he might be completely torn to pieces by the other party in the next second.

Therefore, without delay, he immediately told him what had happened.

Hear the words.

Lu Hong grabbed Meng Hao's arm directly, and before the other party could react, his fingertips were like a knife, directly cutting a bloody cut on his arm.

"Show me again like you did just now!"

Lu Hong said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Meng Hao vaguely guessed that this might be his own ability.

However, he did not dare to delay and did it immediately.

Only this time he seemed to have trouble concentrating.

After a few seconds, it succeeded.

The wound on his arm disappeared immediately.

On the other hand, Lu Hong in front of him had a bloody wound on his arm.

The size was exactly the same as the wound on Meng Hao’s arm.

See this.

Lu Hong remained silent.

It was not until Meng Hao felt a little uneasy that he slowly spoke.

"What an incredible ability!"

While talking.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but there was a strange flash in his eyes.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

Time goes by.

Under the absolute suppression of Hu Qi's strength.

With the growth of the Evolvers, several small cities were built one after another with the City of Dawn as the center, and the number of Evolvers also increased explosively.

The chances of ordinary people awakening and becoming evolvers have greatly increased.

If we say that the probability of an ordinary person becoming an evolver was only one in a thousand.

Now, because of the popularity of this new awakening method.

It has reached one percent, an increase of more than ten times.

However, because of the risk of the transplant process.

If you want to undergo a new type of awakening, there are certain requirements for age and physical health. Otherwise, the wound will become infected and you will die, wasting the wild beast rune organs.

But even so, the mortality rate is still alarming.

But this is nothing for people living on a barren planet.

Because death has long been the norm.

In comparison, what they fear more is a future without hope.

And now there is an opportunity to become the best.

Naturally, hold on tight.

Becoming an evolver is the only hope for these ordinary survivors to escape their miserable current situation.

Some people who are too old to meet the selection requirements for evolvers turn their attention to the next generation.

They began to have children, fully expecting their children to awaken evolutionary abilities or to undergo new awakening rituals.

Bring a turning point in family life.

There are many people who think like this.

The population also gradually increased.

……

That night.

In a building in the City of Dawn.

Two figures stood side by side.

Looking into the distance.

Various high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, the shops on the street are brightly lit, and holographic projection advertisements are flashing and jumping in the air.

Abnormally prosperous.

"It's been ten years. I just wanted to have enough food to eat, but I didn't expect such a big change to happen."

The woman on the left spoke.

There was emotion in his tone.

Now, ten years have passed since the establishment of the City of Dawn.

The changes in the past decade can be described as earth-shaking.

The existence of wild beasts can no longer threaten human safety.

There is even an industry that has developed that specializes in raising wild animals with tender meat.

"Yes!"

Lu Hong smiled.

Looking at Lu Shan on the side.

“No one knows what will happen in the future.”

Speaking of which.

He paused and suddenly asked.

"Sister, are you satisfied with your current life?"

Lu Shan heard this.

She frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

But he looked sideways.

"What do you mean?"

As younger brothers who have lived together since childhood, she knows each other too well.

What the other party said must have another meaning.

Lu Hong smiled.

"It means exactly what it says. Are you willing to let that person control your life and death forever? We can't decide our own life and death. It was fine if we didn't have the ability before, but do we have to keep doing this now..."

"Shut up! Do you know what you are saying?"

Without waiting for Lu Hong to finish.

Lu Shan's expression suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes when she looked at Lu Hong, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

"You should never forget your roots. If it weren't for the Lord City Lord, you would have died in the Rotten Leaf Gathering Area ten years ago. You wouldn't be living the life you have now.

Now you hold the position of government minister, and are a real high-ranking official in the City of Dawn.

Standing above millions of people, you have everything you want, what else can you not be satisfied with?"

At the end of the conversation, the tone became more severe.

Simultaneously.

A terrifying life magnetic field belonging to a fifth-level evolver came crashing down.

Lu Hong's face turned pale and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Sister, I'm sorry, don't be angry, I was just talking casually..."

He forced a smile and spoke.

"Brother, I don't want to hear this again! If it happens again, I will personally take you to see the city lord!"

Lu Shan looked indifferent and gave him a deep look.

Say it.

She turned and left.

Looking at Lu Shan’s back as she left.

The smile on Lu Hong's face faded.

Become expressionless.

Fists clenched.

"Sister, you have been bewitched by that man.

You, a fifth-level evolver, are actually willing to be a slave whose life and death are controlled by others.

But I don’t want to, no one can control my life or death.”

Think about this.

He turned and left.

just.

He didn't notice until after he left.

A slight sigh echoed in this space.

……

Glowing Harbor.

It is a port town about thirty kilometers away from the City of Dawn.

Small towns like this are not uncommon around the City of Dawn.

These include mines, farmlands, fish ponds and so on.

After ten years of development, various industries have gradually become complete.

After all, there are so many people in Dawn City who need to eat.

However, in order to guard against possible attacks by wild beasts.

Every town is manned by an evolver of at least level three.

now.

Lu Hong's figure appeared in a courtyard without any warning.

As if hearing some noise, the door on one side slowly opened with a creak, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out.

After seeing Lu Hong, the other party was slightly startled, then quickly bowed and clasped his fists.

"Glorious Harbor Guard Meng Hao greets His Excellency the Prime Minister!"

Lu Hong just nodded slightly.

His eyes fell on Meng Hao, and he looked him up and down before saying two words calmly: "How is it?"

"Third level peak!"

When Meng Hao answered, there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in his expression.

Hearing this, Lu Hong's brows instantly frowned.

Even though he had poured a lot of resources into training him, the strength of the person in front of him was still only at the peak of level three, and was still far from level four.

This qualification is far inferior to mine.

Of course, he didn't know that if Hu Qi hadn't stimulated the essence in his body and consumed thirty years of his life, he might not be as good as Meng Hao in front of him.

"Well! Come with me tomorrow to meet the city lord!"

Lu Hong had a cold expression, and his tone was full of command that left no room for questioning.

Although the life level of this person in front of him is not high, his abilities are extremely special.

When he first became an Evolver, he was able to ignore defense and injure himself who was at the peak of the third level at that time.

Now that he has reached the peak of the third level, even if he faces a fifth-level strongman, he will be severely injured or even killed.

Moreover, such a long time has passed, and this person has not yet broken through to the fourth level. I am afraid that his limit is only the peak of the third level. There is no point in waiting any longer.

"Master Zhengsi, are we ready to take action? Does your sister mean the same thing?"

Meng Hao's eyes moved slightly.
Just talking.

The body that was originally bent had straightened quietly at some point.

Lu Hong didn't notice this. Thinking back to his previous conversation with Lu Shan, his eyes became a little gloomy.

“She disagrees, but don’t worry, I’m her only brother, there’s no way she won’t help me.

Just use your ability to "swap injuries" to kill that person, and my sister will be there for you to deal with the rest..."

"I wonder if Mr. Secretary has ever thought about one thing."

Meng Hao suddenly spoke, interrupting Lu Hong's words.

“What if we fail?”

"What do you mean? Don't want to do it anymore?"

Lu Hong's eyes suddenly turned cold.

A powerful aura belonging to the fourth-stage mid-level Heavenly King level instantly spread out, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

In this case.

Meng Hao couldn't help but take two steps back.

His face turned pale.

Just when Lu Hong thought he was intimidated by his own aura.

‘Pfft’ sound.

A clear sound of flesh being torn suddenly rang out in the yard.
