Awakening Night

"Alas, husband, the barbecue restaurant we worked so hard to open is gone, and the loan has not been repaid yet."

Sun Lan held a bowl of hot instant noodles, her eyes were a little melancholy.

Li Bin sat opposite her, also holding a bowl of instant noodles, and he smiled helplessly.

"You are still thinking about the barbecue restaurant, it's gone, at least we are still here, and we don't have to pay back the loan."

Sun Lan suddenly asked curiously:

"Why do you think Lu Yuan wants to help us so much? He is not related to us, is he really here to get barbecue seasoning?"

Li Bin also fell into deep thought.

"I can't say."

If Lu Yuan came here at such a great risk just to get some barbecue seasoning, Li Bin didn't really believe it.

But they only met Lu Yuan once, and it didn't seem to make sense to say that he came to save them.

"But one thing is certain, Brother Lu is definitely a good person, although he looks a little cold on the surface."

"Just from the fact that he helped us in the barbecue restaurant, no ordinary person would be willing to take on this trouble."

Sun Lan nodded in agreement.

Li Bin continued:

"We must repay him well. If he hadn't come to save us, we don't know how long we would have been trapped there."

There was not much food in Li Bin's store, and there were four of them, so the food was only enough for them to eat for five or six days at most.

At this moment, they looked at the mountains of food in the room, and their hearts were full of security.

The two were glad that they chose to follow Lu Yuan.

...

Around nine o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the window, looking out at the dead city through the window.

Tonight is still a sleepless night for Shangjiang City, just like before.

It's just that the raging fire replaced the neon lights, and the broken limbs and blood on the ground replaced the endless flow of vehicles and people.

The blood was all over the city, and the streets were silent, with only the wandering zombies making low roars.

Lu Yuan saw countless tall buildings lit up with scattered lights, and he knew that they were lonely and helpless survivors one after another.

They were trapped in their own homes, waiting for official rescue that would come at an unknown time.

Lu Yuan in his previous life was almost the same, thinking that he could wait for rescue at home.

But later he realized that it was easiest to collect food when the end of the world just arrived, and it became more and more difficult as time went on.

Because zombies will continue to become stronger, all kinds of terrible mutant beasts will appear one after another.

Mutated beasts are more terrible than zombies.

At least the evolution of zombies can be traced, but mutant beasts have all kinds of mutation directions.

Lu Yuan had seen a giant beetle as big as a tank, which could release powerful and deadly electric current.

He also saw a butterfly as big as a mountain, flying in the sky, covering the clouds and the sun, like Kunpeng.

Mutants appeared later than zombies, but they posed a much greater threat to humans than zombies.

"Lu Yuan, I'll make the bed for you."

Qiao Ya's voice came from behind Lu Yuan.

Qiao Ya's house has three bedrooms and one living room. Qiao Ya has one bedroom and another bedroom that she has turned into a study.

The remaining bedroom is usually vacant, and only Qiao Ya's parents come to stay occasionally.

So Qiao Ya gave the vacant bedroom to Lu Yuan and changed his quilt and bed sheets.

Lu Yuan said "hmm".

"You should go to bed early."

Qiao Ya walked to Lu Yuan's side. She stood very close to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan could smell the faint fragrance coming from her.

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Ya asked curiously.

Lu Yuan was about to speak when he saw a flash of red light in the sky.

"Here it comes."

Lu Yuan whispered.

Qiao Ya followed Lu Yuan's gaze and saw that the sky suddenly turned into a strange red.

Above the dark clouds, it was as if the gate of hell was open, and the scarlet blood filled the entire sky.

There was a faint red light flowing in the sky, as if the eyes of the god of death were overlooking the entire earth.

Qiao Ya opened her mouth slightly and stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

Lu Yuan had seen this scene once in his previous life.

When this bloody sky appeared, it was the time when the first group of superpowers awakened.

Qiao Ya looked for a long time before she came back to her senses from the shock.

"Lu Yuan, how did this disaster come about? I saw on the Internet that it seemed to be a virus leak."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"I don't know either."

He was not perfunctory to Qiao Ya, he really didn't know.

It is certain that there is some mysterious virus in the zombies that can be transmitted.

But if this disaster is just caused by the virus, then how to explain the strange red light in the sky?

How to explain those superpowers with different abilities?

After the end of the world, the protected scientists around the world are studying zombies and superpowers day and night.

They want to unlock the secrets of the virus and crack the principle of the continuous evolution of superpowers and zombies.

But unfortunately, until Lu Yuan was reborn, he didn't hear any news about the progress of the research.

Obviously, with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to peek into the mystery.

But Lu Yuan in his previous life didn't care much about these.

In his previous life, he just wanted to survive, so he didn't have the mind to think about these things.

But in this life, after solving the problem of survival, Lu Yuan also became a little curious about the cause of the disaster.

Lu Yuan looked at his watch. It was nine o'clock and one minute.

After the red light descended, his body still did not feel anything.

"Could it be that I cannot awaken my superpowers even after taking the gene potion in this life? I shouldn't be so unlucky, right?"

Lu Yuan still felt a little uneasy. The system's description of the gene potion was to increase the probability of awakening superpowers, not to say that it would awaken 100%.

Just when Lu Yuan was feeling uneasy, suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his brain.

It was as if a thousand needles pierced into his mind at the same time, turning his brain into a paste.

This pain was far beyond Lu Yuan's expectations.

Even with his endurance, he couldn't help but groan, covering his head with a painful expression.

"Lu Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Ya quickly supported Lu Yuan, showing a panicked look.

"Don't scare me, Lu Yuan. Wait, I'll call an ambulance for you right away..."

As soon as she said this, Qiao Ya realized that there was no ambulance at the moment.

For a moment, Qiao Ya panicked and didn't know what to do.

"I'm fine..."

Lu Yuan endured the pain and comforted Qiao Ya.

Then the next second, Qiao Ya suddenly screamed, she squatted on the ground, covering her head, her expression was extremely painful.
