Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 615 Rapidly Pushing Through the Apocalypse [Part 3]

Zhang Yi, sitting to one side, had a slight glint in his eyes.

Checking the natural gas?

He doesn't remember ever doing that.

However, it's hard to say for sure.

In each reincarnation, the details of the events encountered will always be different.

For example, in one of his previous lives, he left home early and almost got hit by a flowerpot that fell from upstairs.

Thinking this, he did not answer immediately.

Instead, he quietly got up, walked slowly to the door, and looked out through the peephole.

It is noon now.

Although the light was somewhat dim.

However, seeing the scene inside the corridor is still not a problem.

A man wearing red overalls and a baseball cap is now standing outside the door.

Holding the testing equipment, everything seemed normal at first glance.

The uniform had the words "Kunming Gas" printed on the front.

It seems like there's nothing wrong.

But Zhang Yi showed no intention of opening the door.

Just as he approached the door, the lingering hope in his chest suddenly leaped, and his five senses, which were normally those of a normal person, were amplified several times over in an instant, becoming exceptionally sharp, like a spider sensing the slightest vibration on its web.

He could even faintly hear the conversations of passersby downstairs in the distance.

At that moment, he clearly realized that there was more than one person outside the door.

There, six heartbeats could be heard.

Realizing this, alarm bells rang in his mind.

"Who is it?"

Before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary company employee who didn't make enemies.

He had not encountered any danger before the end of the world in his previous six lives.

But in this life, I encountered this kind of thing right after being reborn.

I don't know about the others.

But one thing is certain.

The newcomer is definitely not a good person.

He held his breath and slowly backed away, intending to call the police first.

"He found them! The person is inside!"

A loud, undisguised shout suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Zhang Yi's expression changed, and he turned and rushed towards the balcony, wanting to jump out of the window to escape.

Available in the next second.

"boom!"

Sparks flew from the door lock, and then, without warning, the entire door was kicked open.

Five fully armed men, each wielding a gun, quickly rushed in, all pointing their guns at him.

"Crouch down! Now! Or we'll shoot!"

Zhang Yi did not stop; instead, he suddenly accelerated, rushing straight to the balcony like a cheetah.

But a close second.

"boom!"

The bullet tore through the air and instantly pierced his right leg.

Blood splattered, and he lost his balance, about to crash heavily to the ground.

But the next second, something strange happened.

The originally bloody and mangled wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, blood flowed back, the texture was remodeled, and the skin became smooth as before.

Only the hole in the trouser leg proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Zhang Yi swayed slightly, then stood up again.

This unexpected scene left the people at the door momentarily stunned.

"This self-healing ability...?!"

A hint of surprise also flashed across Zhang Yi's face.

Even he himself hadn't expected him to be so powerful.

In a flash, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He abandoned his escape attempt, grabbed a fruit knife from the table, and charged straight at the crowd!
boom!boom!boom! ...

Gunfire erupted again.

Those men were clearly well-trained, their bullets hitting his limbs with precision, deliberately avoiding vital areas.

Zhang Yi felt a chill run down her spine.

His judgment was indeed correct; if they were going to kill, they should have aimed for the head, not the legs.

They wanted to spare lives.

With this thought in mind, he had no more scruples and charged wildly into the hail of bullets!

At this distance.

Even though his relentless pursuit of knowledge gave him a terrifying sense of awareness, allowing him to detect the trajectory of bullets, he couldn't completely avoid them. After all, sensing something is one thing, but being able to react in time is another.

But he didn't care either.

He let the blood bloom on his body again and again, yet it healed completely each time.

My heart was pounding.

He moved even faster, and his senses were amplified to the extreme.

This allowed him to move without the slightest hesitation, and in an instant he was right in front of everyone.

A flash of cold light appeared in his hand as he aimed straight for the throat of the nearest person!

However, just as the blade was about to touch the skin...

His movements suddenly froze, and his body stiffened.

Zhang Yi looked down and saw that several anesthetic needles had been inserted into his body at some point.

"They can't even resist the anesthetic injection?!"

This thought arose in my mind.

Then, without warning, he fell backward.

With a clang, the fruit knife slipped from his loosened fingers and bounced on the ground with a clear sound.

However, he remained conscious.

They are aware of their surroundings.

I could only faintly hear a few whispers:

"You scared me! What kind of monster is this? Is it a gecko? It can even ignore bullets?"

"That's incredibly arrogant. If I didn't want him alive, I would have shot him in the head!"

"Alright, stop asking questions. The higher-ups need people; we're just here to carry it out."

"Luckily, I brought a tranquilizer gun this time... otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to subdue him."

The group was talking when, in the next second...

Zhang Yi felt two more needles being inserted into his body, and a large amount of anesthetic was injected.

Then his consciousness sank into oblivion, and he lost all feeling.

……

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Zhang Yi slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes to find herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

It wasn't the prison I had imagined, nor was it a cold, sterile laboratory table.

Instead, it was a luxuriously decorated office.

Not far away, outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a striking 'Y'-shaped building stands quietly.

That's a landmark in Qiyan City.

Judging solely by distance and visibility, Zhang Yi almost instantly determined his location: he was still in Qiyan City, specifically in the city center.

Upon discovering this, and recalling those fully armed men who had previously broken into his home, he realized...

It's not hard to guess that the person behind all this is most likely the government.

He just couldn't understand why the other party had targeted him!
"you're awake?"

A voice suddenly sounded.

Zhang Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in a white shirt with an ordinary appearance sitting on an armchair.

The man was watching him quietly, his gaze calm, yet carrying an invisible scrutiny.

It made him feel slightly uneasy.

It was as if the other person's gaze could penetrate one's own.

"Who are you?! What do you want with me here?!"

Zhang Yi spoke in a deep voice.

The young man, sitting as still as a mountain, had a variety of thoughts flashing through his mind.

Who I am is not important.

His tone was flat, as if he were stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

"The important thing is that I can help you."

"Help me? 'Help' me in this way?!"

Zhang Yi scoffed.

His peripheral vision, sharp as a hawk's, swiftly swept across the surroundings.

An empty room, and the seemingly unsuspecting man standing before it.

There is only one chance.

The moment the thought flashed through his mind, his unyielding spirit surged within him.

Boom!
Like the thunder of war drums, blood boils instantly! Perception spreads like ripples, every muscle hisses. Now!

Zhang Yi exerted force with his feet, and his body shot out like an arrow, heading straight for Hu Qi's throat!
He was determined to subdue this charlatan in one move!

however.

Hu Qi remained seated, seemingly stunned.

Bang! ! !
A dull thud, like a heavy hammer striking an iron wall.

Zhang Yi felt an irresistible force rebound back, his entire arm went numb instantly, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the wall behind him.

The shockwaves reverberated through Zhang Yi's body, his face flushed, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart.

However, the pain subsided in the blink of an eye.

Faced with the powerful regenerative ability brought by his indomitable spirit, injuries that would seriously damage an ordinary person have no effect on him at all.

He raised his head.

I looked at the figure that hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end.

And that absolute barrier that separated them, invisible to the naked eye...

next second.

Hey.

Hu Qi tapped his index finger lightly on the armrest of the seat.

hum!
The air around Zhang Yi suddenly distorted.

An invisible force suddenly pressed down, as if gravity had increased tenfold in an instant.

His body, which had just straightened up, suddenly swayed and almost fell to his knees.

He braced his hands against the ground to barely keep from falling completely.

Zhang Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and he looked up at Hu Qi with a start. His throat bobbed, but he hadn't yet managed to say anything.

boom!
That force surged again, pressing down like a mountain.

He could no longer hold on and was slammed to the ground, his cheek pressed against the cold floor, making it difficult to even breathe.

Zhang Yi's heart trembled violently, and he forced out a muffled sound through clenched teeth:

"You...you're actually an evolved being..."

Evolvers, as the name suggests.

It refers to an individual who has surpassed the limits of ordinary human beings.

Their abilities may manifest as physical enhancement, a leap in intelligence, or the awakening of some kind of supernatural power.

The reason he was so shocked was, according to his understanding.

Even before the apocalypse, there were still evolved beings.

However, they are mostly physical beings.

For example, being strong, fast, and quick-witted.

However, they were mostly within the human realm and didn't offer anything particularly amazing.

Only when the end times arrive, the world changes, and a certain special substance appears in the air.

These evolved beings will be enhanced, and evolved beings with other abilities will emerge.

But there are still three months until the end of the world, how could there be an evolved being with such abilities?
Furthermore, given the other party's strength, they are definitely not an unknown figure after the apocalypse. Why hadn't he heard of them in his previous lives?

Or perhaps the other person died before the apocalypse.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind.

Subsequently.

Hu Qi's next words caused his pupils to contract sharply, as if struck by lightning.

"I can help you end this apocalypse, reborn one. Don't test my patience."

Hu Qi spoke calmly, but his gaze was fixed firmly on Zhang Yi.

"Your ability comes from that special heart; its recovery ability is indeed quite good."

"However, resilience alone is not enough. If you were sealed in concrete and submerged underwater... for you, this immortal resilience would become an endless torment. What do you think?"

His voice remained steady.

But the cruelty conveyed between the lines sent a chill down Zhang Yi's spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Zhang Yi fell silent.

He stopped trying to struggle and resist.

In front of this person, he was as if he were naked, and all his secrets were laid bare.

Apart from feeling fear when facing the end times in his first life, he never felt such emotions again in subsequent lives, no matter how powerful or terrifying the enemy he encountered.

At this moment, that long-lost fear descended once more, even more terrifyingly.

The man in front of him was putting him under immense pressure.

After a long while, when the pressure on him subsided, he finally spoke, his voice dry and hoarse:
"How do you know all this, and what do you want from me?"

"How do I know you don't need to worry about it? All you need to do is cooperate with my research, and I can help you become stronger!"

Hu Qi said calmly.

While talking.

On one side, the door was gently pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a jacket walked out slowly.

Zhang Yi recognized the other person at a glance.

That was the mayor of Qiyan City.

At one time, Zhang Yi had considered cooperating with the government.

In his third life, he made contact with the authorities through this person.

However, while the cooperation has yielded some results, it has also brought with it a number of troubles.

After all, that kind of apocalypse is not something ordinary people can withstand.

Even if one truly needs manpower to help with tasks, one can easily establish a settlement in the future and become a dictator.

Furthermore, if one truly wishes to end this apocalypse, ultimately one can only rely on oneself.

Ordinary people are not of much use when facing the monsters in the apocalypse.

Only the evolved ones are everything.

"Come with me, and tell us everything you know about the apocalypse!"

The mayor of Qiyan City smiled.

His gaze swept over Zhang Yi, a strange light flickering in his eyes behind his glasses.

Zhang Yi nodded.

In this situation, resistance is pointless.

Unless he commits suicide, let's see if he can start his eighth reincarnation.

But he had a feeling that even if he did that, it would be of no use.

……

Watching Zhang Yi and the other person leave.

Inside the room, Hu Qi turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

His eyes showed deep thought.

After arriving in Qiyan City, he used his power to manipulate and hypnotize the officials there.

Then they began searching for a young man named Zhang Yi, who was around twenty years old.

The power of the official machine is terrifying, especially in this information age.

Several suspicious targets were quickly identified from among them.

Zhang Yi was found among them.

The other party was a wisp of thought of the Celestial Venerable of Evolution.

In a sense, they are also the protagonists of this time and space.

When time and spacetime are reset, the other person's memories are also reset.

However, since the previous spacetime anomalies, problems have arisen in the apocalypse.

The other person's memories were preserved, which is what is known as being reborn seven times.

But in reality, the other party is constantly reincarnating.

Just now, he had already analyzed Zhang Yi.

Aside from the memories of previous lives and the special heart in her chest.

The other party was not much different from ordinary natives.

Unfortunately, even so.

His analysis also failed, and he did not get what he wanted.

It's not Zhang Yi's problem.

Rather, it was because the strength of his physical body was limited, and the spacetime here had not yet evolved to its peak, so it could not bear the arrival of his excessive power.

After all, if it were really that easy, Nuwa and the others wouldn't have been able to wait until now.

But Hu Qi is an exception.

His Twisted Light talent can ignore this spacetime barrier, but we still need to wait.

Only when the power of this space-time grows to a sufficient level can his true physical power truly descend.

As for whether Zhang Yi might have escaped during this period...

Hu Qi didn't care at all.

After he demonstrated his strength.

Unless the other party is an idiot, they would never do such a thing.

Of course, more importantly, he had already left a mental mark on the other party, so even if Zhang Yi ran to the ends of the earth, he could not escape his grasp.

"The apocalypse? Bring it on! I can't wait!"

Hu Qi muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips.
