Chapter 15 Madness

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

He just remembers throwing up, throwing up a lot. Yao Yao has been comforting him, patting him on the back, and helping him take off his soiled clothes. Even though she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, after all she had lived in the last days for so long, she was no longer unfamiliar with death.

Later, Jiang Chen shot the gas tank inside the house with a gun.

Looking at the filth shrouded in fire, he didn't say a word.

Holding Yao Yao, who was shivering, and stepping over the corpses, Jiang Chen stayed away from this heinous place.

Sun Jiao's wound had stopped bleeding, and when Jiang Chen came back, she had even recovered to the point where she could walk. Three bullets hit her in the abdomen and one in the shoulder. When he heard Sun Jiao say that she had taken out the bullet by herself, Jiang Chen had no more thoughts than surprise.

This strong woman always does things beyond his common sense.

That night, Jiang Chen, who returned to the villa, was drunk, and he drank almost all the beer stored in the villa. Sun Jiao lay down early because of her injury. Yao Yao has been taking care of him, helping him change into clean clothes, and then putting him on the bed.

Yao Yao is very sensible, although she is also very painful, seeing such a tragic situation makes her mentally strong almost collapsed. But she understands that Jiang Chen needs to be taken care of more at this moment.

That kind man, as if he just came out of the shelter.

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

Kindness is a luxury, wanton splurge is a waste.

This is in the end times, it's silly, but it's also kind of cute...

She had heard about the cannibals, who hid in the shadows, hid in filthy sewers, worshipped near-perverted heretical beliefs, and ate the flesh and blood of their fellow men without hesitation. They are the enemies of almost every human organization, and even the anti-human mutant groups despise them, and even the Sixth District, which advertises freedom, expressly prohibits them from approaching.

Putting Qinshui's wet towel on Jiang Chen's forehead, Yao Yao gave Jiang Chen's face a distressed look, then silently turned around and left the room, gently closing the door.

"Did he sleep?"

Yao Yao was slightly taken aback. At this moment, Sun Jiao woke up for some reason, wearing thin underwear and leaning against the door with a complicated expression.

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

"Well, I can't sleep... Forget it, since he's already asleep, let's talk to him tomorrow." After speaking, Sun Jiao smiled wryly, scratched her head with long hair, and turned to go back to her room. .

"You, is your injury better?" Yao Yao looked at the bandage around Sun Jiao's waist, summoned up his courage and asked in a low voice.

"It's not a big deal, but I am quite confident in my ability to recover." Sun Jiao forced a weak smile, indicating that Yao Yao waved her hand without caring.

"correct..."

"Huh?" Yao Yao was about to turn around, but when she heard Sun Jiao stop her, she turned around again in confusion.

"...thanks."

Under the shadow, Yao Yao could not see Sun Jiao's expression. After she finished speaking, she went back to the house.

Yao Yao was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

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

But now it seems that she is actually quite a good person.

The next morning.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jiang Chen sat up from the soft bed. The sunlight outside the window was a bit dazzling, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Has the radiation cloud finally dispersed? It seems that the weather is going to heat up, after all, the reality is midsummer.

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

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

Looking at that lovely pretty face, Jiang Chen's somewhat stiff face couldn't help showing a comforting smile. Reaching out his hand and rubbing his fluffy hair, Jiang Chen said.

"No, I'll do it myself. Speaking of which, what time is it?"

"It's nine o'clock... Let me come." Yao Yao gently wringed the towel dry, then wiped Jiang Chen's face.

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

"Is it better?"

"It's much better, Yao Yao is really good." Although the muscles in the back of the head and the whole body are still a little sore, it does not affect the normal activities.

"Hehe." It seemed that Yao Yao had a soft smile on his face because of the compliment.

"You, are you feeling better?" It seemed that because she noticed the movement, Sun Jiao also came into the house, standing at the door looking at Jiang Chen with some worry.

"I'm much better, but it's you... Does the injury on your body matter?"

"My words are fine... There are some things that I have to explain to you." Sun Jiao suddenly changed to a serious expression, which made Jiang Chen's face show a serious look.

Although Sun Jiao is usually very "naughty", she is never sloppy when it comes to things that need to be taken seriously.

However, in the tense atmosphere, Sun Jiao suddenly smiled and turned around under Jiang Chen's surprised eyes.

"Let's have breakfast first."

-

-

The breakfast was plentiful, of course, in terms of doomsday specifications.

Slices of bread and tomato sauce.

For some reason, when he saw the ketchup, Jiang Chen had the urge to feel sick to his stomach.

Sun Jiao looked worriedly at Jiang Chen who was rubbing her lower abdomen, sighed, and took the bottle of ketchup out of the table.

She was obviously a foodie, but at this moment Sun Jiao suddenly lost her appetite.

It wasn't because of cannibals, it wasn't the first time Sun Jiao had witnessed a hell of a similar cruelty. What worries her is Jiang Chen. Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has seen the cruel side of the apocalypse.

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

"I'm... going out later, and it may take a month to get back. There's not much food in stock."

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

Jiang Chen made a random excuse, because it was too troublesome to explain the matter of crossing.

"Well, go early and come back early." Sun Jiao opened her mouth, and in the end she just said these words gently.

"Let's have breakfast together." Jiang Chen smiled weakly, he knew that his appearance at the moment must be ugly, but he couldn't be stronger.

This is both physical and mental weakness.

At the dinner table, Sun Jiao savoured the bread while explaining to Jiang Chen what happened to his body yesterday.

Gene medicine, theoretically speaking, only slightly modifies the genotype of newly generated cells in the human body, so that the human body's muscle strength, bone density, firing nerves and other items related to survivability can 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

body condition:

【

Muscle Strength: 24

Bone Strength: 25

Reflex nerves: 28

Brain cell activity: 14

...

】

***

The three basic abilities have almost doubled. Taking the physical fitness of modern people as the benchmark, it seems that Jiang Chen is not an exaggeration.

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

"My day, what you injected with me is actually such a dangerous thing." Jiang Chen's bread fell on the table in fright.

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

"However, there are some people who have acquired useful abilities because of benign mutations... For example, my acquired ability is called tenacity." Sun Jiao stood up and untied the slit in her jacket.

"Cough, you are... eh?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but panic because of Sun Jiao's movements for a moment, but when he saw the slender waist, he was stunned by an even more shocking reality. , "You, your scars?"

The wheat-colored skin left only three faint white spots, which were new skins that had just grown. If you bask in the sun for a few more days, I am afraid that even a trace will not be visible.

"Toughness, to put it bluntly, means that when you are injured by non-instant death, you can speed up the metabolism of cells and heal the wound in a short time. After using this ability, the body will be very weak. There is a risk of sudden death."

sudden death...

This word made Jiang Chen swallow unnaturally.

"Your ability is the same. You need to remember one thing, it's better to do less of this kind of behavior of overdrawing vitality. According to the name on the EP, it should be called madness, right?"

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded. He had already checked his EP yesterday. In the lower right corner of the body status bar, there was something like [Special Item: Madness].

"According to the clinical response, after people with this ability are severely stimulated, the body cells of the whole body will have abnormal metabolism. The macroscopic performance is that the strength increases and the response becomes faster. The specific effect varies from person to person. , you can call up records about the use of this ability on your body, which will help you intuitively understand."

Jiang Chen was stunned, he didn't know that EP had this function. Under the guidance of Sun Jiao, he recalled the text of the usage record.

【

Hidden genetic code:

Madness: muscle strength +20, reflex nerve +19, brain cell activity +17. Special effect: Killing Intuition, that is, only with any of the five senses, can detect the position of the heart.

Limit duration: half an hour

】

Madness actually enhances brain cell activity? get smarter? This made Jiang Chen feel incredible.

"I have to remind you, it's better to use this ability sparingly." Sun Jiao noticed the expression on Jiang Chen's face and couldn't help but sigh.

"why?"

"Did you forget the after-effects of using the play ability?"

Jiang Chen remembered that day, he seemed to faint directly, and it took a long time to wake up in Yao Yao's arms.

"It's fine if it's in a safe environment, but in battle, there are often variables that no one can predict. Once you use madness, if you can't solve your opponent until the end, then waiting for your end There is only one."

After hearing Sun Jiao's explanation, Jiang Chen couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If Yao Yao hadn't rushed over in time yesterday, I'm afraid he has now become a headless corpse... Maybe even the corpse would not be left.

It's scary to think about.

"But you don't have to be nervous, these kinds of abilities are often controllable. Activating the ability through special drugs, and then terminating the ability through special drugs, will make your ability use much more efficient. After a period of time Training, it is not impossible to control the activation and termination of the ability through one's own will. For example, I don't need auxiliary drugs anymore." After speaking, Sun Jiao handed the two plastic tubes to Jiang Chen's hands, "The This is installed in the empty slot of the EP, remember the corresponding color, don't install it in reverse. If you need to activate the madness, you only need to press a button, and the medicine will be injected into your body through the nano needle of the EP. However, I My advice remains...don't rely too much on this ability."

"En." Jiang Chen nodded cautiously.

After breakfast was over, Jiang Chen packed his backpack. Although the backpack feels a little loose, it is very heavy, after all, it contains several kilograms of gold.

Both women came to the living room to bid Jiang Chen farewell. Although Jiang Chen repeatedly stated that he would be back soon, Sun Jiao and Yao Yao insisted on doing this for him.

Embracing Sun Jiao's fiery body, Sun Jiao took the initiative to offer her own hot kiss. That fiery and moist flavor never tires no matter how many times you taste it.

"The food is all in the freezer, and there's enough for the two of you for the first half of the year. Remember to eat fresh vegetables first, and it's better to eat less of canned food..."

"Understood, darling, can you say something romantic at this time?" Sun Jiao gave Jiang Chen a white glance as always, but her beautiful eyes were full of attachment.

After letting go of Sun Jiao, who was full of spring, Jiang Chen hugged Yao Yao again.

"Pay attention to your body. When I come back, it would be great to see a cute Yao Yao."

"Um!"

Yao Yao nodded vigorously. Feeling the touch of Yao Yao's small chin falling from his shoulder, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly and put Yao Yao down.

"One, you must come back." Yao Yao bit his lip and looked into Jiang Chen's eyes with pleading eyes.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a while, and then resolved Yao Yao's worries with a gentle smile.

"of course."

Reaching out and rubbing Yao Yao's hair, Jiang Chen was about to turn around and set off.

However, there was a weak resistance from the waist, Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao still holding his hands with some doubts, and just wanted to ask her what else was going on...

Lips were blocked.

With a touch of light fragrance, there is a kind of vanilla flavor...

Yao Yao stood on tiptoe and kissed Jiang Chen's lips like a dragonfly, then blushed and ran away.

Touching his lips blankly, Jiang Chen noticed Sun Jiao's murderous gaze.

"This, this can't be my fault."

Seeing Jiang Chen explaining at a loss, Sun Jiao sighed, hugged Jiang Chen again, and moved closer to his ear.

"No need to say anything, come back early."

"Um."

Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but in the end he only left this simple response.

Looking at the back of Jiang Chen's departure, Sun Jiao's expression was a little complicated.

Women are very sensitive animals.

She could vaguely guess that Jiang Chen came from a country similar to before the war. Only where there is order, can things like gold have value. And as far as she knows, there is no place in this world that has the ability to use gold as currency.

Will he return to this world?

she does not know.

If it was before, she might choose to tie him by her side, which is also what most people do with their favorite things in the last days. But she didn't.

From the very beginning, she saw the look of fearlessness in his eyes. Even when she was firmly tied to a chair and a gun was pointed at his head, although he was afraid, he was not afraid.

All accomplices are deceitful, and the so-called organization is also fabricated. Sun Jiao doesn't understand, what is the trump card he is relying on?

Not some daring fearlessness, but daring fearlessness. She even had a feeling that in the sixth block at the time, if he wanted to leave, I'm afraid no one in this world would be able to keep him. Moreover, walking will be easier than yourself.

She even had the idea of ​​hiding the gold to control Jiang Chen, but in the end she dismissed the idea.

She chose to believe.

He will never leave me, he will come back... Sun Jiao believed in her heart.

Although she only needed to follow up secretly, she would be able to discover Jiang Chen's secret, but for some reason, Sun Jiao no longer had the desire to do so.

Surprisingly, this was the first time since she stepped into the apocalypse that she felt some kind of belief.

Although Yao Yao didn't know the secrets of Jiang Chen's body, she was smart and sensitive and could see a hint of hesitation in Jiang Chen's eyes. She didn't know why this hesitation arose, maybe it was the fierce battle with the Grey Gu mercenary group, or maybe it was because of the mental pollution in the cannibal camp...

She read the hesitation in Jiang Chen's eyes. Perhaps it was because of this hesitation that he temporarily terminated the bank vault plan and chose to leave for a while.

Such a choice made Yao Yao feel a little fortunate. Although it was very hazy, she had a vague sense of foreboding. If Jiang Chen had obtained the tons of gold in the bank vault at this moment, he might not come back here for a very long time.

If Jiang Chen just disappears, she will feel very painful, she doesn't want to do this...

Therefore, at the last moment, Yao Yao chose to completely obey his will and kissed Jiang Chen's lips.

For the same reason, Sun Jiao did not stop her. Even though Sun Jiao is very possessive.

At the very least, let him have some concerns in his heart, the heavier the concern, the better...

In this way, he should not be gone forever.
