Chapter 1083 Someone Is Coming!
Water droplets fell on the rough stone surface and splashed. Countless small irregular water droplets hit the uneven stone marks and quickly filled in all the lines.
From a microscopic perspective, this drop of water is like the initial flood of creation, filling up all the ravines on the ground. The wild water flow still surges and hits after filling the threshold, roaring like a dragon, connecting the sky and the earth.
But from a macro perspective, before dawn, on a balcony on the second floor of Norton Hall, a drop of rain from last night hanging on the railing broke through the tension due to the influence of gravity and breeze, and dripped to the ground of the balcony, emitting There was a trivial "click" sound.
There was a "tap" sound and the sound of water was clear.
Lin Nian woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes in the darkness.
Lin Nian sat up from the bed amid the slight movement of the quilt and his body. There was no light source in the quiet room, and everything was chaotic. The blackout cloth and soundproof glass made the room a pseudo-airtight quiet room. It's not very fluid, and it's a bit stuffy and breathless.
Lu Mingfei had gone into Lin Nian's room before and slept there (his room was renovated by chance). When he woke up, he couldn't drink enough water for three large glasses of water. He almost pushed the switch when he wanted to turn on a light. He commented that it would be better to sleep here than in the morgue. At least the morgue would be much cooler.
Lin Nian sat on the bed for about ten seconds. He reached out and picked up the mobile phone connected to the charging cable next to the pillow. He unplugged the charging port and the screen automatically turned on. On the screen saver was a photo of himself and his sister in front of the stone monument at the entrance of Shilan Middle School. On the phone, the time jumped from 5:29 to 5:30, a white floating alarm interface popped up, and the alarm was turned off before the song "Promise (Past lives)" sounded.
August 12, 2011, Friday, cloudy and sunny.
Lin Nian put his cell phone on the pillow and pulled off the quilt. The strong smell of rust hit his nose. It was the smell of blood that was so strong that it couldn't be resolved. If Lu Mingfei had been present, he would probably have said something to his death about Lin Nian's menstrual bleeding, but no one with a brain would think that it was an imbalance of menstrual flow after seeing the sheets that were almost soaked in thick black blood and red. , because even a pregnant woman suffering from hemorrhage cannot squeeze out so much blood from her body that the entire bed is almost flooded.
Light red steam slowly rose from Lin Nian's upper body as he sat up. In the dim light, the fine sword-shield-shaped hairs on his naked body rolled in sheets like magnetic fluid guided by magnetic poles. A large number of blood scabs were covered with sword scales. The puncture peeled off onto the bed. The whole process lasted half a minute.
After the weird and horrifying 'self-cleansing' process, Lin Nian got out of bed naked without turning on the light. A slight light shimmered at the bottom of his pupils. With the light of his golden pupils, his outstanding low-light vision could ignore the invisible people in the room. Five-finger environment.
He walked around the coffee table, tables and chairs and other obstacles and walked into the bathroom. He turned on the shower head and a large amount of cold water fell from his head. The sound of water came from the bathroom and filled the quiet room.
After a moment, the shower was turned off, and Lin Nian, wearing only jeans and bottoms, walked out of the bathroom barefoot. The floor of the room was covered with a large number of wool blankets, so there was no need to worry about leaving water marks everywhere.
He walked to the bedside and clicked on the phone screen again to check the time.
It was now 5:40 a.m. in Chicago, and it was exactly 5:30 when he woke up, which meant that he slept for a full six and a half hours last night. This was the longest sleep period he had had in the past year.
The most rare thing is that he didn't dream last night, but he could clearly feel the flow of every minute and every second of these six and a half hours. Those times flowed through his senses like water, in the darkness and unconsciousness. During this time, he allowed his body to be washed from top to bottom, just like the sand and gravel in a stream being washed over and over again, leaving only the smooth and wet stone walls.
He put down his cell phone, walked to the window and opened the curtains and the inner silver blackout cloth. The unique deep blue skylight before dawn fell into the room. After opening the thick soundproof window, a fresh and cold moist breath immediately poured into the nasal cavity. It was the refreshing dampness after the rain in Kassel College before dawn.
Lin Nian looked at the world that was still dim but had signs of dawn. The entire college was under a dark blue curtain. He could see a few lights shining in the castle in the woods in the distance. It was probably the professor who had been awake all night. Or which diligent students are still staying up late studying.
He inhaled quietly silently, without deliberately taking a deep breath, but a large amount of cold air had poured into his lungs with the long airflow. He seemed to be sucking the entire night rain into his lungs. In his lungs, the disturbed air after the rain couldn't wait to wash away the water marks on his body that had not been completely wiped off. Along with the flow into the room, there was a lot of life from the fluttering of the plants in the woods of the college and the chirping of birds pecking their feathers.
Lin Nian stopped breathing and reached out to gently press his chest. After a moment, he probably understood something. He silently withdrew his gaze and looked at his right arm that was slightly raised in front of him. He slowly turned the arms. Inside and outside, as if observing something new, something that appears to him for the first time.
Something has indeed changed.
Lin Nian looked at the bright red ribbon-like gas gradually rising from the five fingers, back of hand, forearm, upper arm, and spreading to the surface of the entire upper limb on his right arm. Rather than gas, the shape of "mycelium" may be more appropriate to describe it. They are like some kind of state body between solid and gas, swaying, floating, and almost collapsed due to the gust of wind blowing in from the balcony. , but will immediately be pulled and reorganized by some force.
Lin Nian learned in chemistry class that the blood in the human body will coagulate when heated. This process is called blood boiling, and the blood will become solid instead of evaporating. If the blood is heated to high temperatures, reddish smoke or steam may be produced, but this is not the result of the blood itself evaporating.
But judging from the symptoms he is experiencing now, these excessively bright red ribbon-shaped gases are really like the perfect gaseous state of blood. It preserves all the characteristics and microstructure of blood, but it will pour out when the water bag is cut open. The situation turned into ribbons of smoke.
Another gust of cold wind blew by, and the silky blood on Lin Nian's arms began to swirl. This time, they did not immediately return to their original state, but became entangled and twisted with each other along with the swirling force, making One is reminded of a whirlpool in the water. After a while, the rotation speed gradually slowed down to a constant speed, and the structure of the vortex began to be hollowed out. The two single-chain structures were connected by horizontal bars and rotated slowly in the opposite direction.
Lin Nian quietly looked at the illusory blood-red spiral structure in front of him, which was like a 3D projection. The naked upper body exposed to the cold air gradually began to appear red mist starting from the shoulders, and this symptom was still going down. Spreads from the neck, chest, abdomen, anywhere with veins and capillaries.
The heart was beating louder and louder. The blood-colored ribbons wrapped around Lin Nian's upper body were like "mycelium" climbing around the sculpture-like body. They jumped out from the left shoulder in a rainbow arc and penetrated into the left shoulder. The blood threads in his abdomen went around his right shoulder and penetrated into his back. As he exhaled and inhaled, they entered the lungs from his respiratory tract, exchanged gases with the blood in the alveoli, and sucked into the body dozens of times more oxygen than liquid blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide is expelled from the body.
The horrific scene is so chaotic that the boy appears to be wrapped in a blood-red cocoon. It was quite a strange and horrifying scene. Anyone who saw this scene would have to pass a sanity check, but Lin Nian, who was involved in the incident, had never felt so good.
This new feeling now gave him a new experience. He knew very well that this seemingly chaotic status quo actually strictly conformed to a set of self-contained laws. After a person is born, the composition and coordination of organs is a system with strict rules and precise details, and the blood-colored mist that appears on his body now also has a set of precise rules that far exceed the human system itself.
This set of rules is destined to be impossible to reproduce in other people, just like the system of fungi cannot be integrated into animals and plants. It is the derivation of another set of branch systems on its evolutionary tree, which is beautiful, powerful, complex, and mysterious.
Lin Nian didn't know what this change would bring to him, but the biggest change he could feel now was that he was full of energy - he felt that the various organs of the body's original system were operating more efficiently than before. The state is at least 20% more than normal. The thinking speed and metabolism, which have already reached the limit of hybrids, have been incredibly further improved, and the storage of a large amount of intracellular energy has nearly doubled, and the speed and amount of energy generated have also reached It has exceeded the previous limit several times.
He easily figured out what caused this change.
An unprecedented amount of oxygen.
The oxygen storage and usage rate of his entire body and human system has undergone an extraordinary leap. He is now in a state of oxygen-rich activity all the time, and his attention, reaction speed, body's energy output rate, usage rate, and muscle The slowdown of fatigue and the continuation of high-intensity exercise time have all taken a leap with the terrifying increase in oxygen load.
There is no need to guess the reason why the amount of oxygen has increased to this level. The answer is the bright red blood floating on Lin Nian's body surface.
This blood is no longer a state of matter that can be explained by conventional biology or chemistry. It is born under the constraints of rules. Their way of obtaining oxygen no longer requires a traditional respiratory system. They can directly combine with a large amount of oxygen in the air to form oxyhemoglobin, and then transport it directly to various parts of the body in an unimaginable way to supply cells for cellular respiration, producing energy and carbon dioxide.
Even the carbon dioxide that originally needs to be discharged no longer needs to enter the blood and be transported to the lungs for discharge. Through the mist-like blood flowing outside the body surface, the carbon dioxide has been completely released.
This is a non-replicable state.
Now Lin Nian's body's oxygen storage and usage have reached an appalling level. Even if a normal person only has one-tenth of Lin Nian's current oxygen storage, he will immediately suffer from oxygen poisoning. The excessive generation of oxygen free radicals symptom.
But the way he felt now, he felt fine, never better.
The amount of blood in the thick mist generated from the body surface began to increase. The gaseous blood slowly swam in the air. More oxygen was pumped into the gas and transported to the cells of the body. The heartbeat became louder and louder. , clear, and as thick as a powerful man standing on the top of the mountain hitting the drum head with a war hammer carrying thunder!
Just when everything was about to reach a threshold, the door handle of the door deep in Lin Nian's room moved downwards. The "click" of the lock core indicating that the door was opened from the outside, and there was also a sound outside the door. He heard a girl's soft "Eh" sound, and seemed a little surprised that the door was unlocked.
Lin Nian was also surprised that the door was unlocked, because he remembered that he had locked the door last night, and he would never doubt his memory on such things.
Many possibilities flashed through his mind, but they were all tied into a line in an instant. His attention returned to the most important thing to do at the moment - to wrap these things into a 'cocoon'. The gaseous blood takes back its own body.
In less than three seconds, the person outside the door chose to open the door after doubts. She thought the door was unlocked because the person inside had already gotten up and came out. It seemed harmless to open the door now.
"oh!"
Standing at the door of the room, Xia Mi was stunned and looked at the shirtless Lin Nian in front of the balcony window in front of the dim blue morning light.
Lin Nian's back was facing her. His graceful latissimus dorsi and three-dimensional figure made the girl subconsciously raise her hands to cover her eyes, but the fingers on her two palms inevitably separated like lobsters, revealing a You can't use the "gap" to peek in secretly.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it, hahaha." Xia Mi laughed three times in embarrassment, but she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving the room. Instead, she continued to observe Lin Nian's naked upper body. .
Lin Nian didn't turn around or speak. After hearing Xia Mi's voice, he relaxed a little. But as soon as he relaxed, his eyes turned black and his sense of balance was almost lost. Fortunately, he pressed hard with his right hand to support him. He had to hold on to the window edge to prevent himself from falling to the ground unable to move.
Oxygen toxicity.
He realized that when he recovered the large amount of gas and blood within three seconds, he brought back an excess amount of oxygen. Even his current body could not bear such a huge amount of oxygen, which resulted in his rare occurrence of oxygen poisoning. Symptoms include dizziness, nausea, and loss of balance.
It's a bit careless. Even if the construction of this power has been completely completed, the experiment cannot be carried out so hastily, and it is still carried out in an extremely unstable environment.
"Senior brother, are you okay? Well, there is a strange smell in the air." Xia Mi saw Lin Nian's bent back and felt something was wrong. She subconsciously touched the main control light switch in the room next to her and pressed it.
The light filled the entire room, illuminating some scary things that were hard to notice in the dark.
"Holy shit!" Xia Mi naturally discovered the blood-red bed that was even more of a murder scene than a murder scene. He was instantly shocked, his eyes widened, and his pretty little face was filled with the words "shock me for a whole year" .
And her act of turning on the light brought a large amount of dazzling light into the room, which made Lin Nian, who was still in a low-light vision state, look like he had eaten a flash bomb and his face was filled with pain. He raised his hand on the window sill to block the light and suffered from oxygen poisoning. Both sides of the situation were combined, and he completely lost his balance and fell to the ground. Although he did not lose consciousness, he probably would not be able to move for a while.
It was in this awkward state that he heard Xia Mi's footsteps running towards the door and his shouting like a pig being killed.
"Oh my god, please come here! Brother Lin Nian, my aunt has passed out from blood loss (biting her tongue)!"
