Human Shackles - Chapter85

At dawn, the rescue team arrived. It was a small airship. The airship could not land in the mountainous area, so it hung down ropes and hoisted the survivors up one by one.

Only then did everyone realize that the slave soldier with the code name 9527 was missing. Zhao Xiang was very angry and said angrily, "It's all your fault. He saved our lives, and you still suspect him."

Qiu Yuan did not argue and climbed up the airship silently.

Yue Han blushed and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't make it clear and wronged him."

…

Luo Kai left. The spring breeze was blowing, and the greenery in front of his eyes made him feel relaxed and happy. He couldn't help but feel happy. Humming a song, he trotted in the mountain forest. As he ran, he found a problem. He was lost, so he simply didn't distinguish the direction. He just walked wherever he saw was beautiful. Finally, he followed the smell of water and stopped in front of a stream.

He took off his clothes and jumped in to take a bath. Then, he closed his eyes and soaked in the water to sleep. The invisible water surrounded him and kept rotating and rubbing against him as if it was giving him a full body massage. Luo Kai moaned comfortably and fell asleep in a daze.

The invisible water slowly seeped into his skin. The water molecules washed his deepest cells. His shriveled internal organs were moistened by the water and slightly recovered their vitality.

He slept for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already dark. Luo Kai stretched his body, and his whole body was filled with a sense of comfort. It was as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Not only did his body recover a lot of strength, even his dispirited spiritual power had recovered a lot. He was overjoyed and decided to stay here.

He got up and caught a few fish in the stream and started a fire to roast them. Although there were no big fish in the stream and there was no seasoning, it was still very delicious. He ate dozens of fish in a row before he stopped.

Then, he used his ability to uproot a weeping willow and got some wood to build a small shack by the stream. He lay down inside contentedly. The top of the shack was open, and he could see the bright stars. The earth was his bed, and the starry sky was his blanket. The scene that he had yearned for in his previous life had finally come true in this life.

Originally, there were a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, but for some reason, the area within a few meters of his shack was like a forbidden zone for insects. Not to mention mosquitoes, there weren't even crickets or grasshoppers. Even when the mountain wind blew, they would slightly avoid it.

Luo Kai also discovered this strange phenomenon. He quietly sensed it for a while and had some understanding in his heart. This was the power of the Spirit, or rather, the manifestation of the Spirit. For example, he didn't want to be bitten by mosquitoes, so his Spirit Will naturally seeped out of his body and formed an invisible barrier, blocking the entry of mosquitoes.

This kind of power was too mysterious and too powerful. In other words, when a creature's Spirit Will was strong to a certain extent, nothing could be changed by his will. This was the legendary ability to make one's wish come true. This was indeed a power that only God could possess.

Luo Kai thought of the beautiful woman who gave a lecture in his previous life. Could it be that she had already understood the power of the Spirit?

What were the shackles of humanity that she had mentioned?

…

There was no shortage of food in the mountains. With Luo Kai's big belly, the animals here were a disaster. The meat of wild animals was much richer in energy than that of livestock. After a few days, his weak body gradually began to recover. His white hair became black again, and the skin on his face became tight again. The wrinkles disappeared, and his muscles became firm again. He looked like a young man in his thirties.

His physical strength had recovered to about 50% of his peak, but it would still be a long process to fully recover.

The vigorous Spirit Will finally gave him time to carefully study the method of using water to deal with enemies. Water was the softest substance in the world. If he was in a place with abundant water elements, such as in a river, lake, or sea, he could use water to trap enemies, but it would be very difficult to cause any damage.

Luo Kai changed the fist-sized water ball in front of him into various shapes like magic. He waved his hand to disperse it and then condensed it again. It took about 30 seconds to condense a water ball by the stream, but in a dry area, it was different. It might not even be possible to condense it.

In the end, he could only wring his hands and sigh. This ability was definitely very powerful, but it was based on the fact that his Spirit Will could really overturn rivers and seas. He could only control a very small amount of water now. He couldn't even block the stream in front of him.

Lying on the hay mattress and looking at the stars in the sky, the unpolluted sky was like a clear crystal. The stars twinkled in the sky, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. A shooting star streaked across in front of his eyes...

Luo Kai also seemed to have a shooting star streaking across his mind. He remembered a science fiction novel he had read before. It described a very powerful weapon. This weapon was called the Droplet. It was not a real Droplet, but it was shaped like a Droplet.

The weapon's power lay in its dense structure. From a macroscopic point of view, the universe was infinitely large, but from a microscopic point of view, a grain of sand or even an atom was also infinitely large. The smallest substances known to mankind were electrons and quarks, but electrons and quarks could still be subdivided. It was just that human technology could not observe them.

The Droplet's power lay in the fact that it could infinitely compress the microscopic space, thus forming a dense structure. Under this structure, nothing could stop its sharpness. If the Droplet were to expand, it could cover the entire Earth with its small size, just like a basin of water that had been poured out. When it was so thin that only the molecules were connected to each other, it could cover the entire world.

To put it more simply, when charcoal was compressed to a certain extent, it would form a diamond. The high-pressure water knife also worked on the same principle. Under ultra-high pressure, the water stream could even cut through metal.

Luo Kai was shocked. Since the soft water stream could not cause any damage, why not find a way to make it hard? Things that originally only existed in science fiction could become possible under the effect of Spirit Will.

He got up and walked to the side of the stream. He gently guided a ball of water to condense in front of him. His consciousness extended into the water stream, and the microscopic world unfolded in his mind. The scene in his mind was like a three-dimensional microscope. The space between the water molecules was filled with a large amount of air … What he needed to do was to strip the air out.

After an unknown amount of time, the ball of water in front of Luo Kai became smaller and smaller, and the water molecules became more and more compact. In the end, it was only the size of a fingernail, but it weighed a few kilograms.

Luo Kai opened his eyes. Although his face was a little pale, his spirit was extremely excited. Staring at the crystal clear ball of water in front of him, he could not help but laugh.

At this moment, the small ball of water in front of him suddenly expanded and then exploded. The power of the explosion was no less than that of firecrackers. The spray of water droplets hit his skin painfully.

Luo Kai was stunned. He had forgotten an important thing. Once the condensed ball of water lost the consolidation of Spirit Will, it would naturally rebound and shatter under the external pressure. This method did not seem feasible. He could not always concentrate on consolidating the ball of water.

Lying back on the bed, he continued to think. He had to find a way to keep the ball of water in this compressed state. For example, he could put the ball of water in a solid device and leave a small opening. As the pressure was released, wouldn't it become a high-pressure water knife? But if he had a weapon in hand, this method would be useless.
