The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

"It's because you're too weak."

"Therefore, only these poisons can be produced."

Lei Yue was speechless after being rebuked, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

Even if it's the truth, you can't just say it out loud. This brat has absolutely no manners.

That's why I hate bratty kids the most.

"You're still young, so I won't hold it against you. When you grow up, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

The child glanced at Lei Yue, ignoring his frustration: "You can't even beat me now, do you think you'll be able to in a few years?"

Lei Yue: "..."

That wretched brat!

Lei Yue: "Hmph! Who can say for sure what the future holds?"

"Give me three years. After three years, we'll have a match!"

Lei Yue looked at the little guy seriously. Although the little guy was younger than him, he had been exposed to these things since he was a child.

But he only spent a month or so to get from zero to where he is now. If he were given three years, he would be absolutely confident that he could teach this brat a lesson!

"Have you been taking too many brain-dead pills? Why don't you go get your brain checked first?"

The little guy turned around, speechlessly withdrew his gaze, and looked back at the liquid in the bronze coffin.

"Although it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe these things as poison."

"But isn't this poison exactly what you need right now?"

Lei Yue's attention was also diverted. His eyes darted back and forth between the little guy and the pool of green water, then he sneered, "You call this what we need?"

He pointed to the pool of green water: "You yourself said that this stuff has strong side effects."

"Once used, it only has three days of lifespan left!"

"Isn't this just a way to kill the person who takes it?"

"Who would drink this stuff for just three days' worth of energy?"

As his vital energy returned, Lei Yue's voice grew louder and louder.

Three days of lifespan for more than two thousand combat power.

Limited-time combat power trial card?

With such severe side effects, who would use it?

The child turned his head and looked at Lei Yue for three seconds, but there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

Then, he turned his face towards Qin Feng.

"Has this guy always been this stupid?"

Qin Feng remained silent on this matter.

Lei Yue: "..."

The silence speaks.

Lei Yue was even more displeased: "Who are you calling stupid!"

He stepped forward, and in comparison, his massive physique exuded a distinct sense of oppression.

"Kid, don't think I won't beat you up just because you helped me."

The child completely ignored Lei Yue's threat, not even giving him a second glance.

They didn't seem to take him seriously at all.

Anyway, this guy can't beat me.

He looked at Qin Feng.

"Although I was unconscious before, I was still conscious and I could hear your conversation."

"The side effects of this stuff can be fatal to others."

"But you are different."

The child paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Feng with an innocent expression: "You died, but can't you be resurrected?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

When Qin Feng heard the word "resurrection," his mind went blank for a fraction of a second.

But I quickly came to terms with it.

This news is not a secret, and it's impossible to keep it hidden.

The fact that a large number of dead people have come back to life is obvious to anyone who isn't an idiot, so it's not a secret worth hiding.

It's not a bad thing for him to know.

What Qin Feng really cared about was whether they had said anything else they shouldn't have along the way.

After a two-second silence, Qin Feng finally came to his senses.

But now is clearly not the time to think about these things.

His gaze returned to the pool of lush green liquid.

He flipped his wrist, tilting the knife tip.

The drop of green liquid slowly slid down the metal blade towards the edge.

The specific effects can only be known through testing.

He tilted his head back, slightly opened his mouth, and prepared to try out the effect himself.

A thick arm suddenly slammed into me from the side.

Lei Yue's large palm slapped directly onto Qin Feng's forearm.

The immense force caused Qin Feng's wrist to deviate uncontrollably.

Lei Yue stretched his neck and opened his mouth to catch it.

The green droplet on the tip of the knife instantly dripped into his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Qin Feng exerted force with his wrist, reversed the hilt of the knife, and slammed the back of the blade into Lei Yue's chest.

Lei Yue was knocked back half a step by the impact, but he had a smug smile on his face and smacked his lips.

"You're so hesitant and indecisive, I might as well try it."

Lei Yue didn't give Qin Feng a chance to stop him at all; his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed directly.

Qin Feng looked into Lei Yue's eyes: "You bastard..."

Less than two seconds.

The veins on both sides of Lei Yue's neck suddenly bulged.

Blue veins spread down to his cheeks, throbbing abruptly, almost bursting through his skin.

His body, weighing over 200 pounds, shook violently, his knees buckled, and he crashed heavily onto the cracked cement ground.

Two clear dents were smashed into the ground.

"ah--!!"

A rough roar squeezed out from deep in Lei Yue's throat.

He gripped the rubble on the ground with both hands.

The muscles, which had atrophied due to exhaustion, were now expanding at a visible rate.

Two and a half minutes later, Lei Yue's roars gradually subsided.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground and slowly stood up.

A violent current of air spread outwards from him.

The dust on the ground was swirled up, forming a tiny vortex.

"Cool!"

Lei Yue's pupils turned ice blue, and he raised his head, letting out an extremely unrestrained roar.

"That felt so good, even better than that!"

Lei Yue looked down at his hands, his ten thick fingers forcefully opening and closing.

A faint crackling sound came from the air.

"I feel like my physical strength has more than doubled."

Lei Yue suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Feng, his face contorted with fat, the muscles twitching and bouncing.

"And what else..." Lei Yue felt a surge of energy within his body: "My palms are numb."

He opened his right palm.

A wisp of blue-white electric arc danced in the center of the palm.

The electric arc stretched and twisted, emitting a piercing electrical sound.

Lei Yue swung his right arm and hurled it at a dead sapling a dozen meters away.

A blue-white ball of light flew out of his hand.

boom!

The ball of light struck the tree trunk and exploded instantly.

Half of the tree trunk was blown to pieces, and charred wood chips flew everywhere.

Flames burned on the broken tree stump.

Lei Yue jumped up excitedly on the spot: "Wahahaha, Thunder King!"

He rubbed his hands together frantically, and more arcs of electricity flickered at his fingertips.

Qin Feng ignored Lei Yue's excitement.

His attention was completely focused on Lei Yue's profile.

He muttered to himself, "The side effects are appearing so quickly...?"

Her originally jet-black short hair quickly lost its color, starting from her temples.

Grayish-white, mottled white, and finally turning into a completely withered white.

Not only his hair, but Lei Yue's skin also lost its luster, became rough, and several deep furrows appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Is this what it means to trade lifespan for power?

Three days of lifespan in exchange for powerful combat abilities and elemental manipulation skills.

The side effects are severe, but the improvements are indeed significant.

Qin Feng turned around and took out a communicator from the lining of his tactical vest.

Press the red encrypted channel button.

The electrical hum lasted for two seconds.

"Speak," Chi Zhengyang's voice came through.

Qin Feng looked at Lei Yue, who was still randomly throwing electric arcs everywhere, and quickly told Chi Zhengyang about his discovery.

At the same time, Qin Feng glanced at the little guy out of the corner of his eye.

The little guy didn't react in any special way.

After doing all this, he quietly returned to his previous seat and sat down again.

Occasionally I would glance at the crowd fighting in the distance, occasionally at the sky, and occasionally at my own little hands.

He looked lost in thought.

......

Three hours later.

City S.

A gray fog enveloped the dilapidated streets.

Seven or eight enormous mutated spiders scurried among the abandoned vehicles.

Eight barbs-covered segments easily pierced the car's metal body.

High up in the building, a young man saw this scene and couldn't stop his tears from flowing.

That car was bought with a loan, and the mortgage isn't even paid off yet; now it's just a pile of junk.

He clenched his fist: "Damn monster, once I'm powerful enough, I'll eat roasted spider legs every day!"

Another black-spotted spider, over three meters long, stopped in front of an overturned armored vehicle.

Its forelimbs exerted force, tearing the heavy alloy door of the armored vehicle off.

A sharp mouthpiece entered the carriage and dragged out a mangled corpse.

A survivor wearing a tattered hoodie hid behind a trash can ten meters away, his hands tightly covering his mouth.

The body was shaking violently.

Even knowing that he could be resurrected after death, he was still afraid when he saw this scene.

If they could, who would want to die?

Dying once is a huge blow to both the body and the mind.

Even if one could be resurrected, the fear and pain of death would not be reduced in the slightest.
