Zhang Xiaoqiang did not stay on the Sand Island for too long. The water snake would not be able to eat the meteorite fragments in a short period of time. As for the Level 5 monsters, everyone on the island was already familiar with them. They would not waste any of the materials and meat. The Blood Fall Flowers had already been planted on every piece of land that had been watered with beast blood. In less than an hour after they were planted, they would begin to sprout. It would not be long before they would mature and be harvested. For the sake of this batch of Blood Fall Flowers, Zhang Xiaoqiang had specially mobilized a large group of the Regimental Dragon Guards to rush back to protect them. At the same time, he had also replenished the combat power of the Sand Island. A considerable portion of the materials from the monsters would be sent to Yin Meng. Yin Meng was stronger than Hubei in other aspects, but it was lacking in high-grade mutated beast materials and meat.
Previously, the Level 4 snake slough of the water snake had already been made into more than a hundred pieces of snake scale armor. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not keep any of these pieces of snake scale armor and sent them all to the frigate. He gave one to Yang Ke-er, Meow, and himself. The rest were equipped to the guards on the frigate. Now that the frigate had become Zhang Xiaoqiang's temporary palace in the sky, Zhang Xiaoqiang and the people around him would enjoy all the good stuff first.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang was sitting on the sofa and looking at a test tube in front of him. Inside the transparent test tube, there were four different liquids of gold, blue, green, and black mixed together. Each of the liquids was independent and did not mix with each other. When mixed together, they formed a spiral that slowly rotated. The test tube on the table was motionless, but the liquid inside seemed to be alive. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the so-called liquid was made up of tens of millions of fine crystal sand. Each crystal sand maintained the same distance from the surrounding crystal sand. The distance between the same color and different color was always the same, but they were also clearly separated. If it was not for Zhang Xiaoqiang's super vision, a normal person would have to use a microscope to see clearly.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart ached not because of anything else, but because the test tube contained four Level 5 colloid purified liquids. Previously, he had been troubled by the Level 5 colloid and did not know whether or not he should use it to give himself another ability. Adding a new ability would definitely delay the advancement of his other abilities, which was a difficult choice. Afterwards, he was reminded by Zhuo Mingyue that he had made a mistake. What he needed was not to be a lone hero, but to ensure his safety as much as possible and maintain the stability of China's revival. Thus, one more ability meant one more method.
However, he did not expect that Zhuo Mingyue would mix the four colloid purified liquids together without notifying him. She wanted to give him a surprise, but there was no surprise. There was only fear and heartache, as well as an even more complicated choice. Should he drink it?
Or not?
"What's wrong?
Why are you looking at me like that? "
Zhuo Mingyue, who thought she had done a good deed, was humming an unknown tune. When she entered and saw Zhang Xiaoqiang staring at her with a fiendish expression, all of her good mood disappeared. She frowned and asked Zhang Xiaoqiang the same question. Zhuo Mingyue, who was wearing a black and gold palace dress, exuded an aura of nobility. She stood in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang and looked him in the eye. Her dreamy eyes did not avoid his gaze, but they hid arrogance and disobedience.
Seeing Zhuo Ming Yue's current state, Zhang Xiao Qiang screamed out, grabbing his hair with both hands, "I finally know, you must have been my enemy in the past life, and in this life, you're here to mess with me …"
Zhuo Mingyue became even more unhappy. A cold light flashed in her eyes and she rushed to Zhang Xiaoqiang's side. She grabbed his ear and said, "What's wrong with you? How have I wronged you?
I'm the one who was blind. Why did I fall for you in the first place? "
"Hmph, who was the one who shamelessly stuck to me?
Who was the one who cried and begged me to give her a status?
That's fine, we have nothing to do with each other, yet she still cares about me every day … "Zhang Xiaoqiang was extremely depressed. He stood up and opened fire at Zhuo Mingyue. Even though his ear was still in Zhuo Mingyue's hands, he didn't care. Zhang Xiaoqiang's nameless anger made the sparks in Zhuo Mingyue's eyes turn into torches. Then, it was extinguished in doubt. She was a proud woman, and proud women never used their mouths to compete with others. So, she blocked Zhang Xiaoqiang's mouth to stop him from speaking.
Her delicate white palm covered his mouth, and his nose took in the soft and fragrant scent. Zhang Xiaoqiang's annoyance slowly disappeared. He pulled Zhuo Mingyue's arm and ignored her. He just stared blankly at the dazzling test tube. Zhuo Mingyue quickly understood what was going on. She grabbed Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand and sat on the sofa. She said softly, "Are you distressed about these things?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to say no, but he couldn't say it. How difficult was it to get a level 5 mutant beast's colloid?
Apart from the level five mutated beasts that ran to the island and were surrounded and annihilated, the others required great luck to obtain. Not a single level five mutated beast could be killed by a frigate or a super evolved human. Just like that day when the sea snake and the giant sea turtle were both heavily injured, and it also suffered who knew how many torpedoes and supernova bombs before finally dying under the combined efforts of the frigate and Zhuo Mingyue. He didn't even know how great of a price he would have to pay to obtain the colloidal bodies of other level five mutated beasts.
"Let me ask you, apart from you, who else can use these things?
Don't tell me you'll give them to Ke 'er and Meow, unless you're really heartless enough to send them to the frontlines to fight. "
Zhuo Mingyue's words calmed Zhang Xiaoqiang down. He thought to himself that she was right. Level 5 colloids couldn't be easily released outside, not even to the most loyal of subordinates. Who knew what would happen to them if they swallowed a level 5 colloid?
Plus, he was never a generous person. He liked to keep good things to himself, unless he gave them to the people closest to him. But he didn't want those closest to him to be in danger, so Zhuo Mingyue's actions were understandable. The only thing that troubled him was whether there would be side effects.
"You're going a bit overboard. Who knows if there will be side effects when you mix these things together?
What if there's a mutation after drinking it?
I still want to keep a few as family heirlooms … "Zhang Xiaoqiang held the twisting test tube and twirled it between his fingers, looking very conflicted. Zhuo Mingyue's bright eyes looked at the test tube. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked like a spoiled child. The unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but smile and say softly," There won't be side effects. I knew it when I extracted it. Did you forget how Yang Ke-er got the foresight ability?
Mixing them together will only make them stronger. Are you still worried that I'll harm you? "
"How can I not be worried? You haven't even tasted it. You said that you don't need my ability to be strong, and now you've made me this thing. Sooner or later, I'll be played to death by you …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was only vexed for a moment, but he calmed down. Many people had used the colloid, but he hadn't heard of anyone having side effects. It was all because of his heart. Although he said he was worried, it was actually because he felt bad for Zhuo Mingyue. Zhuo Mingyue didn't say anything. She lazily leaned against the sofa and looked at the complex and beautiful patterns on the ceiling. She did this for Zhang Xiaoqiang's own good. As for the reason, she didn't want to say it. There were some things that she didn't want to make Zhang Xiaoqiang worry. As the Oceanic Race approached, she felt an indescribable sense of unease. This uneasiness came from her innate intuition. No one knew what would happen in the future. Before they encountered true danger, she just wanted to make Zhang Xiaoqiang a bit stronger. That was why she had hurriedly mixed the four colloids together.
"There's no smell at all. Did it lose its effectiveness?
It used to smell fragrant … "Zhang Xiaoqiang put down the empty test tube in his hand and asked in confusion. Zhuo Mingyue turned her head and stared into Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang's pupils had changed. His black and white pupils had instantly merged into one and turned into endless darkness. Within them, countless silver dots gathered and separated, forming a nebula-like substance. Zhang Xiaoqiang himself didn't feel any changes. He only felt as if a layer of fog had been lifted in front of his eyes. What he saw was more vivid and exquisite. Many things that he had overlooked before were clearly presented in front of his eyes. Zhuo Mingyue's milky smooth skin had the texture of white jade. There were no tiny pores to be seen. She was a natural beauty. Every time she breathed, the air would vibrate, and when he spoke, the airflow would spread. He could even clearly see the fine structure of the glass inside the empty test tube in his hand.
This was a feeling he had never felt before. It wasn't just his eyes. His five senses were even sharper. The fragrance of Zhuo Mingyue's body was far away, and there was the almost undetectable smell of blood on his body. There were many other fragrances in the living room, such as the milky fragrance of children, the cold fragrance of Yuan Yi, the warm fragrance of Shangguan, Mu Peipei and Yang Ke-er Meow, and even more of all kinds of snacks and fruits. There was also the fresh smell of the ocean, but it was Xianghai.
His ears could hear all kinds of sounds in the air, the sound of walking in the corridor, the music in the guards' dormitories and the moaning and grinding from the computer speakers, the grunting of the rainbow eagle in the cargo hold, and the sound of Meow and Fei Fei stealing food. Then he heard the conversation between Huang Tingwei and the crew in the bridge, the hum of the engine in the corvette's engine room, and the sound of the maintenance staff striking the metal.
When he got rid of all the noise in his head, he felt a warm current rise from his abdomen to his heart. It spread through his entire body along with his blood. At this moment, all his mind was immersed in the changes in his body. He could hear his heart beating like a giant drum, and the sound of his heartbeat was like thunder. But in this rumbling thunder, he could also hear the sound of his blood being stimulated in his heart valves. The stimulated blood mixed with an unknown warmth and flowed through the meridians of his body, making him feel all kinds of subtle sensations.
When this warmth spread throughout his body and intoxicated him, he fell into a mysterious state. He couldn't see, hear, smell, or think. It was as if he had turned into a transparent crystal, untainted by dust.
In what seemed like an instant, but also like many years, Zhang Xiaoqiang slowly sensed sounds, smells, and recalled all kinds of things that he had forgotten for a long time. His parents, relatives, friends, teachers, classmates, ignorant first love, heartbreaking sadness, happiness, panic, embarrassment, fear, anger, sorrow, and all kinds of other emotions. Finally, he opened his eyes as if in a dream …
