After the darkness!

Looking at the healing effect of his wounds in the mirror, Lin Yijue became even more curious about the medicine in the syringe.

He ate some leftovers from the table to fill his stomach, then put his clothes in a garbage bag, washed up, and went to bed.

On the bedside table, the box containing the syringes sat quietly, resembling a small refrigerator, emitting a slight coolness.

Lin Yijue's gaze fell on it, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to his conversation with Wang Mingde.

According to the other party, the strange disease they had was a phage infection.

This disease can infect a large number of people, but the chance of infection is actually very small. Within the walls of the city, the probability of infection is only one in several hundred thousand. It should be noted that the main urban area of ​​Chengdu, including both the outer and inner city, has a total population of just over four million.

Based on this calculation, there are at most a dozen or so infected people like them in the city.

After infection, it's like a time bomb buried in the body. The phagocytosis needs energy and inactive biological factors. If these are not met, it will cause deformation. If the deformation fails, it will turn into a monster, just like the little girl he killed.

The only overt method to suppress the infection is to improve physical fitness and then absorb more advanced biological factors.

After all, the stronger one's physical fitness, the stronger their ability to resist infection.

Only more advanced biological factors can satisfy the 'phagocytic' desire and be consumed during deformation.

However, this infection is not without its benefits.

Lin Yijue propped another pillow up against it.

He looked ahead and saw a vibrant green in his field of vision.

The talent tree appeared, its branches swaying.

[Yun Sheng Boxing Technique: Minor Achievement (76%)]

"Talent Tree: Novice Boxer (Young Tree Stage)"

"Energy collection rate 28.4%, number of evolution attempts: 1, evolutionary path: insufficient information, unknown."

Talent: [Tree-Talented Boxer (White): ...]

[Ye - Double Strike (White): ...]

[Ye - Exceptional Endurance (White): ...]

Power: 7.83

Agility: 6.1

Physical condition: 5.52

Willpower: 6.9

Lin Yijue brought his five fingers together to form a fist, his forearm muscles taut, and a powerful sense of strength gathered.

In just a few hours, his strength and physique have increased significantly.

"Rapid metabolism enhances physical fitness, but also affects sanity, eventually leading to deformation. Failure to transform results in becoming a monster."

Lin Yijue felt a slight tingling sensation in his heart. Was it like a double-edged sword?

This feeling both frightened and excited him.

However, he himself has a special characteristic: through sleeping, his body seems to be inexplicably suppressed.

Wang Mingde and others did not have such ability.

It was precisely for this reason that Lin Yijue thought that he could temporarily refrain from injecting the medicine and observe the patient further.

After all, Wang Mingde was extremely mysterious. How could he possibly trust him after just one meeting?

However, we can't continue to be passive like this forever.

"Therefore, we need to accumulate enough energy in the sapling stage of the talent tree as soon as possible to complete the evolution, and then look for other treasures and research how to acquire other skills."

Skill acquisition and energy accumulation proceeded step by step, and as for finding other treasures, Wang Mingde seemed to be a breakthrough point.

The other party is powerful, has abundant resources, and extensive connections, which is far beyond what an ordinary student like him can compare to. He can be used to his advantage.

"It seems that whether it's to uncover the deeper secrets of the Devouring Body or to find the treasure to activate the Talent Tree, we must find an opportunity to have further contact with Wang Mingde."

With this thought in mind, Lin Yijue laid his pillow sideways, closed his eyes, and prepared to get some rest.

A lot happened today, he's exhausted.

The moment his head touched the pillow, sleepiness surged forth like a tidal wave, engulfing him completely.

His senses gradually became blurred, and his consciousness drifted further and further away like a kite with a broken string.

Time flows by silently, like a river.

I don't know how much time passed.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.

A series of soft alarm clock sounds rang in Lin Yijue's mind.

In a daze, he reluctantly got up as usual, mechanically washed up, got ready, ate, and then went to school with his schoolbag on his back.

I don't know how much time passed.

Ding ding ding!!!

The alarm clock rang clearer and louder.

Lin Yijue was startled awake. He opened his eyes and saw that the bright sunlight was already shining through the thin mechanical cat curtains, casting a golden glow on the floor.

Outside the window, the familiar cries of the breakfast vendor downstairs echoed.

There were already breakfast vendors downstairs calling out their wares.

He was sweating profusely and felt sticky all over.

Lin Yijue checked the time; it was already eight in the morning.

In the dream, he had already gotten up, packed his things, and left the house, but he was still in bed.

Was it because I was too tired yesterday?

Lin Yijue sat up in bed and touched his head.

He slept very well last night and had many dreams, but he has forgotten most of them. The only dream he vaguely remembers is the one he had before waking up.

In his dream, he was still being chased by that monster.

He kept running and running, but no matter what he did, he couldn't shake it off.

He was eventually tackled to the ground.

Just when he thought he was going to die, he turned into a black dog, and the two of them, no, the two dogs, began to tear each other apart.

In my dream, he was very powerful and even had the upper hand.

Just as Lin Yijue was about to kill the black dog, he woke up.

However, after a good night's sleep, I felt really good.

Lin Yijue tilted his head and did two stretches, and all he could hear was a crackling sound like firecrackers going off in his body.

He looked radiant, and even the injury to his ribs had almost healed.

"Such strong recovery ability?" He was somewhat surprised.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"It's about time to get up and eat. Skipping breakfast is bad for your health," her mother's voice came from outside.

"Get up," he responded reflexively.

This was the original owner's instinct, and it also seemed to be a remnant of his memories from his previous life.

In his past life, when he was at home, his mother would always wake him up for meals on time, whether he was working or not. On weekends, he would complain bitterly because he wanted to sleep in longer.

But the latter continued to do as it pleased.

Now, listening to it, he suddenly felt a little sad.

"I got up a little late today, so no dawdling or sleeping in." Song Huiling added from the doorway, then pushed the door open as if to remind her.

After saying that, she went back to the kitchen, followed by the sound of water flowing from the faucet and splashing against the stainless steel sink.

"Okay, okay," Lin Yijue replied.

I glanced out the window.

The sky was azure, the clouds were snow-white, and the sun shone brightly.

Further away, the faint outline of a high wall can be seen.

The weather is nice today.

He quickly grabbed a towel and a change of clothes, took a shower, and finished washing up.

After everything was tidied up, we went to the living room to eat.

It was only then that Lin Yijue realized that his older sister, Lin Xiaofei, was also there.

It had been almost two weeks since he last saw the other person.

The other party actually came back last night?
