Chapter 18 Sequelae
"Have we awakened our powers?"
Lao Ma gritted his teeth and helped Wei Xuan up, leaning his back against the fence again.
Although Lao Ma's injuries were lighter than Wei Xuan's before, he was still in pain all over his body at this moment. It was difficult for him to use his strength. To move even slightly seemed to kill him.
The two of them leaned against the fence with difficulty. After taking a breath, Lao Ma suppressed his inner excitement and asked in disbelief.
The small crater struck by lightning just now was not far ahead.
"It should be!"
Although that is said, it is basically certain.
Wei Xuan could clearly sense that there was a chaotic space deep in his mind.
There, the yin and yang of the Tai Chi diagram embrace each other, and the yin and yang are embraced, and they are slowly rotating.
Not only that, he could also feel that although his body was very sore, the condition was improving rapidly.
Of course, the wound was still extremely painful, but it was no longer bleeding. The condition of the injury was much better than expected.
This in itself is unusual!
Not only that, Wei Xuan was in the same situation as Lao Ma. He could clearly feel that his own strength had obviously increased a lot.
Although it has not been tested, Wei Xuan estimates that it is at least fifty percent better than before.
However, there are great differences between himself and Lao Ma.
His awakened ability is thunder and lightning, and the free energy in his body is scattered throughout the body. When he wants to release it, he can release it by mobilizing this free energy with his thoughts.
It's just that he currently contains very little energy in his body. The lightning he released just now has almost exhausted the energy reserves in his body. It's a bit difficult to create an electric spark at the moment.
Physically, Lao Ma has also improved, but the specific condition cannot be determined for the time being. It is basically similar to Wei Xuan.
In addition, the two of them had gone through the process of becoming zombies before, so there was a hint of red under their eyes.
It's just that the red light is not obvious, and it is difficult to spot if you don't look carefully.
"Tell me, is it because we were bitten by zombies or because the crystal is the blood diamond you mentioned?"
The pain in their bodies was still there, and the two of them lay there not wanting to move. Lao Ma was idle and bored, and began to think blindly again.
"It's hard to say. It could be the blood diamond, or it could be the blood diamond and mutation, both of which played a role!" Wei Xuan guessed.
Those who had been bitten by zombies before had all mutated without exception and completely turned into zombies. None of them had awakened their powers, so blood diamonds must be the key point.
But whether it is all the result of blood diamonds cannot be confirmed yet.
"There is another possibility that the awakening of the superpower is not entirely due to these two factors. Otherwise, under the same conditions, the superpowers awakened by the two of us should be the same."
Wei Xuan thought for a moment and then added.
In fact, the superpowers of the two were completely different, and he really couldn't figure out why the superpowers were Tai Chi Tu and Thunder.
Are these two related to zombies?
"No matter where it comes from, it's always a good thing to have superpowers, especially in this fucking apocalyptic world. Oh, by the way, what's the use of your Tai Chi diagram?"
Lao Ma followed Wei Xuan in guessing for a long time, but had no clue, so he began to care about Wei Xuan's ability.
Wei Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either!"
"I don't know?" Lao Ma opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion: "How is this possible! I seem to know my abilities naturally!"
Wei Xuan really didn't know.
What is certain is that he has awakened his powers.
But the problem is, I think desperately, desperately want to mobilize the Tai Chi diagram, but the Tai Chi diagram is as steady as an old dog, always motionless. In the depths of my mind, it slowly spins around without any abnormal behavior at all. .
This made Wei Xuan a little confused, and even more regretful.
As Lao Ma said, there are dangers everywhere in this world right now. Awakening your superpowers is equivalent to improving your ability to save your life.
But if this power is of no use~~
"Ignore it and explore slowly in the future. At worst, I will take care of you from now on!"
Lao Ma patted his chest generously and assured Wei Xuan.
The awakening of supernatural powers obviously made Lao Ma feel a little inflated.
"Are you hungry?" Wei Xuan suddenly asked.
It was a good thing he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Lao Ma suddenly felt that he was very hungry, and even had the urge to grab a handful of dirt and put it in his mouth.
When I see the flesh and blood of zombies on the ground, I want to go up and take a bite.
But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Wei Xuan would say he was a pervert.
But what he didn't know was that Wei Xuan also had this idea in his heart, which made him a little scared, so he was eager to leave.
I'm afraid this thing is the sequelae of mutation.
"Come on, we need to find something to eat. How long have we been lying here? It doesn't seem like the sun has been shining for that long! But why is the sun so fierce? Do you feel it?"
The soreness had not yet been relieved, and Lao Ma was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. He complained and struggled to stand up.
"I'm afraid it's due to gamma rays. The atmosphere has become thinner, and the temperature difference between day and night has increased. Even if there are no zombies, I'm afraid the climate will change to a point where it's difficult for humans to adapt. Oops!"
After all, Wei Xuan's injuries were more serious, and he couldn't use his left hand. When he stood up, the wound on his thigh was affected, and he suddenly grimaced in pain.
Lao Ma stepped forward to support him. Just as he was about to leave, Lao Ma saw the female zombie that he had stabbed to death before.
This woman was the only naturally mutated being at the scene, which meant that the tragedy in front of her was all caused by this woman.
"Grandma, it's all this bitch's fault. She probably has a blood diamond in her head. I'll dig it out!"
Lao Ma asked Wei Xuan to stand holding on to the railing while he turned around to dig for treasures.
After knowing that blood diamonds are treasures, Lao Ma doesn't mind digging his head out anymore and is disgusted. Maybe he has seen too much and has overcome his psychological barrier.
"Actually, it's not her fault. After all, when a natural disaster occurs, no one can predict this situation!"
They were digging treasures out of other people's heads. Wei Xuan kindly defended the girl.
Lao Ma retorted: "It's not her fault for the natural disaster. She went to have sex in this wilderness. Isn't this a deception? Is it so difficult to get a room?"
Wei Xuan was speechless.
I thought to myself that this guy, Lao Ma, always goes to big hotels for appointments with young anchors anyway, so naturally he doesn't like this kind of guy who can even save money by booking a room.
"What do you think will happen if you eat one more of this stuff?"
Lao Ma dug out the blood diamond, placed it in the sun, squinted at the alluring red light inside, and said suddenly.
This question also stunned Wei Xuan for a moment.
Blood diamonds are only found in zombies that naturally mutate due to gamma ray radiation.
Judging from the two people's experiences, blood diamonds are definitely able to eliminate zombie mutations. As for whether they can definitely awaken supernatural powers, it is still doubtful.
What will happen if you eat another one is really uncertain.
"At least this thing shouldn't be poisonous, let me try it!"
Wei Xuangang wanted to persuade Lao Ma to be more cautious, but Lao Ma had already raised his head and threw the blood diamond into his mouth. With a roar, he looked at Wei Xuan and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say, you should wash it more often. Even if you don't wash it, you can just wipe it~~"
Lao Ma's face turned dark immediately, and his stomach was churning.
But the problem is, I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back, and I can't vomit anything even if I want to.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lao Ma felt like there was a fever in his stomach and felt terribly uncomfortable.
"You've eaten it, why don't you care what it does. Anyway, you didn't wash the one you ate before. How do you feel now?" Wei Xuan asked curiously.
Lao Ma opened his eyes wide, and a look of surprise appeared on his face after a moment.
