Chapter 16-Awakening
"Wow! Bro, you're that brave?"
Seeing Li Yuan walk out of the store so openly, Garbage King couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Ye Shi patted him on the shoulder: "Watch closely, learn from this, this is the strongest player in Wasteland Online."
Although that's what he said, Ye Shi was actually a little unsure in his heart.
After all, he had only ever seen Li Yuan (Li Yuan) kill the big black bird with one axe, and had never acted with Li Yuan otherwise.
The only person who frequently went hunting with Li Yuan (Li Yuan) was that manager.
Thinking of this, Ye Shi turned to look at the swan hiding in the shadows at the base of the wall, only to see that the manager had a calm expression, as if it were nothing new, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had seen Li Yuan (Li Yuan) do this.
Seeing this, Ye Shi felt even more confident.
The reason he just said those words to Garbage King was simply because he and Li Yuan (Li Yuan) were teammates on the same team, which is why he was supporting him.
But now, he genuinely believes it!
As soon as Li Yuan stepped out of the clothing store, the mutated hyena turned its head and barked twice in his direction.
The two raiders also looked over instantly and reacted very quickly, raising their rifles and firing.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Several shots were fired at Li Yuan, but he didn't dodge. He instantly increased his speed and charged straight at the two raiders.
Sure enough, the bullets fired from that unrifled hand-made rifle veered off course and landed on the concrete road.
At the same time, Li Yuan raised his arm and, without even gathering his strength, threw the two javelins in succession.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two piercing sounds rang out as javelins, like shooting stars, pierced the chests of the two raiders, pinning them firmly to the ground.
At this moment, Li Yuan had already arrived in front of the two people.
He pulled the pointed steel pipe from his back with a backhand motion, and with a simple, unadorned sweep, both heads fell to the ground. The severed necks were smooth as mirrors, with blood gushing out.
The next moment, Li Yuan shoved the steel pipe down with his other hand, cleanly and decisively killing the mutated hyena and silencing it forever, so that it would never bark again.
Only then did Dawn, Night Ten, and Garbage Lord emerge from their hiding place.
Garbage-kun's eyes widened, his clear gaze filled with disbelief: "He... he just charged in there, getting riddled with bullets? And he's not even a scratch?! He must be dead?!"
Ye Shi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "What are you talking about? This is skill, you should learn it!"
"How am I supposed to learn this...?" Garbage-kun flicked his tail with a "thud," feeling utterly speechless.
If you let him go up into the gunfire, he definitely will.
But if he goes up there and not only doesn't die, but also doesn't have a single injury, then we shouldn't make things difficult for him.
Although Li Yuan had eliminated all the enemies, Ye Shi and Garbage Lord still went to loot the corpses with great enthusiasm after Shu Guang gave the order.
In the end, besides two 5mm iron pipe rifles and dozens of 5mm bullets, all they got were a dozen or so white chips and some miscellaneous items such as matches, compasses, and maps.
With the mutated hyena in tow, the group continued their search for prey.
……
When the four members of the hunting team returned to the sanatorium, they found it had been transformed into a bustling construction site.
Dust billowed on the ground, and clanging and banging sounds rang out from all directions as everyone busied themselves with great enthusiasm.
Whether they are newbies or veterans, they all seem to have inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm at this moment.
Some people push wheelbarrows salvaged from abandoned construction sites, carrying stones one after another. They crush the stones with hammers and then pour them into a kiln to be calcined into coarse cement material.
Someone squatted down beside them, pushing the bellows with all their might, trying to make the fire inside the kiln burn even brighter.
With the concerted efforts of many players, the foundation of the first section of the wall has now been built using these materials.
In addition, players can be seen busily working like bees in places such as the constantly running charcoal kiln, the earthen kiln for smoking meat, and the fish-smoking rack.
The rising smoke and dust, along with the clamor of voices, even frightened the birds in the trees near the sanatorium so much that they dared not return.
For some reason, upon seeing this scene, Li Yuan suddenly felt very hot, as if he were about to burst into flames.
"This is……"
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Li Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a guess came to his mind.
……
the next day.
After Li Yuan opened his eyes, he immediately looked at the screen in the incubation chamber.
Sure enough, compared to yesterday, his attribute panel has undergone a huge change:
[ID: Waifangliyuan]
[Gene Sequence: Pyrotype (Phase II)]
[Level: LV.9→LV.10]
——Basic Attributes——
……
His five attributes—strength, agility, physique, perception, and intelligence—have all received a significant boost.
More importantly, he gained another talent.
My gaze swept over the last line of the panel, and I saw that after "[Talent] Iron Bones", another line of text had appeared:
[Talent] High-speed regeneration (faster, stronger recovery)
"High-speed regeneration... How fast is the regeneration? Does it only regenerate skin and muscle, or...?"
Just as Li Yuan was still pondering his newly acquired talent, he suddenly saw Shuguang approaching.
The incredulous look in his eyes clearly showed that he already knew about the changes that had occurred in Li Yuan.
Nevertheless, as if wanting to confirm it himself, he asked, "You've awakened?"
"Awakening?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
Shuguang nodded slightly, the shock on his face lessening somewhat, and explained:
"So-called awakening refers to the body exhibiting some qualities that are different from those of ordinary people."
"Of course, this is just a common name in the wasteland. The formal name for this phenomenon is—the second stage of gene sequencing."
"Are you experiencing any particular feelings right now?"
Li Yuan stretched his body, carefully felt his surroundings, and then said:
"There's a... wonderful feeling, as if every cell in my body has been enhanced."
"My strength has increased, my vision has become clearer, and even my mind seems more alert than before..."
Shuguang held a notebook in his hand and wrote down everything Li Yuan said, as if he were doing research.
After recording all the data on Li Yuan's attribute panel in detail, Shuguang nodded slightly and said:
"After the gene sequence enters the second stage, your body has undergone significant changes compared to before."
"In a moment, you will test your abilities and then submit a report."
"I will assign you tasks that are more suitable for you based on your changing abilities."
