Chapter 15 Madness(1/2)

Jiang Chen didn't want to have too many memories of what happened in the sewer that day.

He only remembered that he vomited a lot. Yao Yao kept comforting him, patting his back, and helping him take off the dirty clothes. Even though she felt very uncomfortable, she had lived in the end of the world for so long and was no longer unfamiliar with death.

Later, Jiang Chen used a gun to explode the gas tank inside the house.

Looking at the filth covered by the fire, he didn't say another word.

Leading Yao Yao, who was trembling, and stepping over the bodies, Jiang Chen stayed away from this outrageous place.

Sun Jiao's wound had stopped bleeding. When Jiang Chen came back, she had even recovered to the point where she could move around. Three bullets hit her abdomen, one on her shoulder. When she heard Sun Jiao say that she had taken out the bullet herself, Jiang Chen had no more thoughts except surprise.

This strong woman always does something beyond his common sense.

That night, Jiang Chen, who returned to the villa, got drunk. He drank almost all the beer stored in the villa. Sun Jiao lay down very early because of the injury. Yao Yao was always taking care of him, changing into clean clothes, and then holding him onto the bed.

Yao Yao is very sensible. Although she is also in pain, seeing such a tragic situation makes her spirit that has finally become stronger is almost broken. But she understands that Jiang Chen needs to take care of her more at this moment.

That kind man seemed to have just come out of a shelter.

Yao Yao recalled that when she saw the first time she saw a pile of dead people, she fainted almost immediately. However, when she discovered that even in the survivor base, death was a very common thing, she gradually became numb.

Goodwill is a luxury, and wanton squandering is a waste.

This is very stupid in the end of the world, but also a bit cute...

She had heard of cannibals, hiding in the shadows, hiding in dirty sewers, worshiping almost perverted heretics, and eating the flesh and blood of their fellow men without hesitation. They are enemies of almost every human organization, and even the anti-human mutant groups are disgusted with them, and even the Sixth Block, which claims freedom, explicitly prohibits them from getting close.

He applied a wet towel on Jiang Chen's forehead. Yao Yao looked at Jiang Chen's face with some pain, then turned around and left the room silently, and gently covered the door.

"Has he slept?"

Yao Yao was slightly stunned. At this moment, Sun Jiao had woken up for some reason, wearing thin underwear, leaning against the door with a complicated expression.

"Well... haven't you been asleep?" Yao Yao asked in confusion.

"Well, I can't sleep a little... Forget it, since he's already asleep, let's talk to him tomorrow." After that, Sun Jiao smiled bitterly, scratched her head with long hair, and turned around to return to the room.

"You, have your injuries been better?" Yao Yao looked at the bandage wrapped around Sun Jiao's waist and plucked up the courage to ask in a low voice.

"It's nothing serious, but I'm quite confident in my recovery ability." Sun Jiao smiled weakly and waved her hand without caring.

“By the way…”

"Hmm?" Yao Yao was about to turn around, but when he heard Sun Jiao calling her, he couldn't help but turn around in confusion.

"...Thanks."

Yao Yao couldn't see Sun Jiao's expression in the shadow. She returned to the house after she finished speaking.

Yao Yao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.

To be honest, she is not good at dealing with this domineering "maid".

But now it seems that her person is actually quite good.

The next morning.

After rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jiang Chen sat up from the soft bed. The sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling, which made him squint his eyes.

Has the radiation cloud finally dispersed? It seems that the weather is getting hotter, after all, the reality is midsummer.

The door was slowly opened, and Yao Yao's petite body rushed into the room.

"Well, wash your face." Yao Yao said in a low voice, placing the basin on the bedside table.

Looking at the cute pretty face, Jiang Chen's somewhat stiff face couldn't help but smile with a comfortable smile. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his fluffy hair, and Jiang Chen spoke.

"No, I'll do it on my own. Speaking of which time is it now?"

"It's nine o'clock... I'll do it." Yao Yao gently wrung the towel, then wiped Jiang Chen's face.

Because it was very comfortable, Jiang Chen no longer insisted and let Yao Yao's little hands hold a towel and rub it on his face.

"Are you better?"

"It's much better, Yao Yao is so good." Although the back of the head and the muscles in the body were still a little sore, they no longer affected their normal activities.

"Hehehe." It seemed that because of the praise, Yao Yao showed a soft smile on his face.

"Are you better?" It seemed that because he noticed the movement, Sun Jiao also came to the house and stood at the door with some concern and looked at Jiang Chen.

"I'm much better, but you... Isn't it important to have any injuries on your body?"

"I'm fine... Some things must be explained to you." Sun Jiao suddenly changed into a serious expression, which made Jiang Chen's face show a serious look.

Although Sun Jiao is usually very "naughty", she never cares about things that need to be taken seriously.

However, in this atmosphere that was gradually becoming tense, Sun Jiao suddenly smiled and turned around in Jiang Chen's surprised gaze.

"Let's have breakfast first."

The breakfast was very rich, of course, this is in terms of the specifications of the end of the world.

Slices of bread and tomato sauce.

For some reason, Jiang Chen felt a nauseous urge to see the tomato sauce.

Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen, who was rubbing her lower abdomen with some concern, sighed, and took the bottle containing tomato sauce out of the dining table.

Although she was obviously a foodie, Sun Jiao suddenly lost her appetite.

This is not because of the cannibals. It is not the first time that Sun Jiao has witnessed the hell that is similar to its cruelty. What worries her was Jiang Chen. Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has seen the cruel side of the end of the world.

And she knew very well that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

"I... I'll have to go out later, it may take a month to come back. There is not much food reserve."

If you stay here for a long time, your spirit will first collapse.

Jiang Chen casually made an excuse because the time travel matter was too troublesome to explain.

"Well, go early and come back soon." Sun Jiao opened her mouth, and finally said this gently.

"Let's have breakfast together." Jiang Chen smiled weakly. He knew that he must be ugly at the moment, but he could not show a little stronger.

This is a double weakness in both physiological and mental state.

At the dinner table, Sun Jiao was savoring the bread carefully while explaining to Jiang Chen what happened to him yesterday.

In theory, genetic agents are only slightly transforming the genotype of newly generated cells in the human body, so that the body's muscle strength, bone density, and emission nerves and other items related to survival ability will be strengthened to a certain extent. If you open Jiang Chen's EP now, you can see the changes in Jiang Chen's physical fitness over the past three days.

***

Username: Jiang Chen

Physical status:



Muscle Strength: 24

Bone strength: 25

Reflex nerve: 28

Brain cell activity: 14

...



***

All three basic abilities have almost doubled. If you use the physical fitness of modern people as the basis, it seems not an exaggeration to call Jiang Chen a Superman.

"Yesterday... because of the stimulation of anger, you entered a state of madness." Thinking that Jiang Chen was angry for himself, Sun Jiao's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly continued calmly, "Generally speaking, genetic medicine only transforms three basic abilities, but because it involves DNA corrections, it is possible to produce some unpredictable mutations... It is said that someone grew two heads after the injection."

"Dadays, what you took me to inject is such a dangerous thing." Jiang Chen was so scared that he fell on the table.

"The probability is very small, you can ignore it." Sun Jiao blushed and scratched her head embarrassedly, but she did not intend to admit her mistake, but chose to change the topic.

"However, some people have gained more useful abilities because they have undergone benign mutations... For example, the ability I have obtained is called tenacity." Sun Jiao stood up and untied the hole in her top.

"Ahem, are you... huh?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little panicked because of Sun Jiao's movements for a moment, but when he saw his slender waist, he was stunned by the more shocking reality, "You, your scars?"

The wheat-colored skin only left three faint white spots, which were the new skin that had just grown. If you were tortured for a few more days, you would probably not even see any trace.

"To put it bluntly, when you suffer from an either-or-death injury, you can accelerate the metabolism of cells and heal the wound in a short period of time. After using this ability, the body will be very weak, and frequent use can also have the risk of sudden death."

sudden death...

This word made Jiang Chen swallow unnaturally.

"Your abilities are the same. You need to remember one thing, it is better to do less of this kind of behavior of overdrawing vitality. According to the naming on the EP, it should be called crazy, right?"

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded. He had checked his EP yesterday. In the lower right corner of the body status bar, there were words like "Special Item: Crazy" written on it.
To be continued...
