Chapter 16
At first, Wen Xin just wanted to go for a morning run by himself and didn't want to bring Canary with him.
But I don’t know if he was worrying too much. He was obviously very tired, but he couldn’t sleep the whole night. When he heard the slightest sound of the door opening outside, he suddenly opened his eyes and ran out to see what was going on.
Seeing this, Wen Xin simply pulled the boy along.
It was still dark at this time, and in the distance it was a hazy and gloomy night. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and it was extremely quiet.
Occasionally, you would see one or two vendors who had gotten up early to set up their stalls, pushing their carts across the street.
In the garden, Wen Xin sped up and sprinted across the finish line.
He stopped, panting, wiping the sweat off his face and turned back to ask, "How much?"
Canary glanced at the stopwatch on her phone with a complicated look: "11.37 seconds."
He didn't know what the normal speed of a human being should be, but it would take more than 10 seconds to run 50 meters. If he ran 50 meters in the base, he would be eaten to the bone.
Wen Xin panted hard and felt that the speed was a bit slow. He sighed and said, "I haven't exercised in a long time."
He noticed the indescribable look on Canary's face and suddenly became curious: "How far can Jiu run?"
Canary said politely, "It should be faster."
Wen Xin was very eager to learn and practice, so he urged the canary to run once.
The boy didn't want to hit the opponent, so he deliberately slowed down and finally ran a time of more than 7 seconds.
The young man smiled and said, "That's amazing."
...Can this be considered amazing?
The canary pursed her lips, thinking that she had been running too fast just now and should slow down a bit.
But Wen Xin was not stimulated as the boy thought. He looked normal, did a simple stretch, and continued with his training.
From the day Wen Xin promised Xiao Hei that he would work out hard, he bought training courses and started today.
Since his goal was to avoid accidental injuries, he couldn't be as slow as normal morning exercises. The training intensity he set for himself was even a bit strict.
In order to prevent himself from making mistakes during training, Wen Xin planned to go to the gym to sign up for a personal trainer after get off work tonight.
Canary always felt that Wen Xin was doing useless work.
The physique of ordinary humans is very weak, not even as good as that of C-level humans, and the difference between them and No. 1 is like heaven and earth.
That's not going from walking to running, that's going from crawling to flying.
But Wen Xin persisted in this futile effort for a whole week.
Canary and the other mutants saw how hard it was for the other to get up, and how tired he was after continuous training.
Even in the first three days, Wen Xin couldn't adapt to the intensity of the training. His calves were shaking when he walked and he had to hold on to the wall.
In the end, even Heituan couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped onto the bed, looked at Wen Xin, whose face was as pale as a deceased parent, and rubbed his palm with heartache.
"Meow?" How about forget it?
Wen Xin shook his head, gritted his teeth, and climbed out of the bed with strength. The black and green groups tried to persuade him but failed.
.
After a few days of observation, Canary finally confirmed that the human named Wen Xin had a tenacious spirit that refused to admit defeat.
But when the other party insists on doing something that is impossible to achieve, this tenacity becomes stupidity.
A few days later, he couldn't help asking, "Is there any point in exercising like this every day?"
After almost ten days of getting along, although the canaries couldn't immediately let down their guard and become close to Wen Xin, at least they were no longer as unfamiliar and reserved as when they first met, and they had to use a respectful "you" when speaking.
“Why is it meaningless?”
Wen Xin was not angry even though he was questioned. He asked Canary to record the 50-meter run again.
As soon as the word "run" came out of his mouth, the young man ran out like an arrow from a bow.
The canary quickly noticed that the other party had become faster.
Wen Xin's steps were no longer as clumsy and sluggish as they had been more than ten days ago, nor was his face flushed from lack of oxygen after holding his breath for more than ten days. His arms swung with a moderate degree of relaxation, and he still had enough energy to jog back after the sprint.
As if he already knew his score, the young man smiled and asked him, "How much is this time?"
Canary looked down, her pupils slightly dilated.
8.92 seconds.
It's improved by almost 3 seconds.
To Wen Xin, he just regained the speed that an adult should have from the powerless abandoned house.
He also knew that every second of speed increase would be extremely difficult. After all, the 50-meter sprint in human history was limited to just over 5 seconds, and that was only possible after more than a decade of training and natural talent.
But the canary didn't know that.
He witnessed Wen Xin's rapid progress with his own eyes, and the whole bird was shocked, especially when Wen Xin made a joke at the dinner table that night.
"Ajiu's speed is more than 7 seconds, and my speed is more than 8 seconds, almost 9 seconds. Maybe I can catch up with Ajiu after practicing for a while."
Swish, all the mutants' eyes were focused on the canary, and even the little fox couldn't help but look weird.
How rubbish is it that a mutant, even a canary, would be surpassed by weak humans?
Canary: “…”
Now, as long as he turned his head, he could see the undisguised disgust in the green ball's eyes, the genuine doubts in the black ball's heart, and the pity and comfort of the little fox.
Clearly, he looked at Wen Xin in this way a dozen days ago.
The canary lowered her head, her face almost twitching with embarrassment.
The next morning.
After waiting for a long time until the warm and hard training was about to end, Canary finally plucked up the courage and said that she wanted to run 50 meters again.
He knew that such behavior was not only meaningless but also very childish, but he just didn't want everyone to think that he was a mutant who was inferior to humans.
Wen Xin readily agreed without even asking him why he suddenly came up with such an idea.
Before starting, the canary held its breath.
He was very nervous, his heartbeat was faster than normal, it was completely different from the feeling he had when facing threats from others, this was a kind of nervousness mixed with excitement and anger, his palms were even sweaty from it.
The moment Wen Xin shouted "run", he rushed out like lightning. His thin body drew a sharp straight line in the air and reached the finish line in almost the blink of an eye.
"How much? How far did I run?"
Canary didn't even have time to catch his breath and started asking as soon as he ran back. Before Wen Xin told him, he had already stretched his neck impatiently to look at the phone.
5.77 seconds!
This is definitely a speed that humans cannot reach in the near future!
Canary immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
The next second, he suddenly realized something was wrong and looked at Wen Xin in panic.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." I didn't mean to hide my strength and play tricks on you!
Wen Xin bent her index finger and tapped him on the forehead, unable to help laughing: "You didn't even move your legs when you ran before, do you think I'm stupid?"
Not only was I not angry, I was even happy for him from the bottom of my heart.
"This speed is really fast. Jiu is amazing."
After being stunned for a moment, the curve of the canary's mouth dropped, and she asked in a hoarse voice: "You know, right?"
"Know what?"
"One...those two cats are stronger than me."
"I roughly know." Speaking of this, Wen Xin couldn't help but sigh, "Alu bit a piece of tea table into pieces before."
He actually knew everything.
Originally, Canary thought that Wen Xin didn't know the difference between mutants and humans, so he did such a ridiculous thing.
But since the other party knows clearly, why do you still insist?
Your training is meaningless, your efforts are also meaningless. Do you think that by growing from a little rabbit to a big rabbit, you can stop the teeth of a tiger?
He almost couldn't help but speak to wake Wen Xin up.
Wen Xin happened to have his back to the canary and did not see the boy's distorted expression.
As a cat keeper, I have to worry all the time whether I will be beaten to pieces by my own cats. To be honest, it is quite frustrating.
Fortunately, Wen Xin was more optimistic: "Actually, I know that if I continue to practice like this, I may not be able to beat Xiao Hei with one paw, but as long as I can be a little stronger than before, it will be fine."
"A little progress today, a little progress tomorrow, little by little it adds up to a lot, and in the end you are getting stronger."
"Become stronger?"
Canary didn't know what she was thinking about, and she subconsciously chewed on these two words.
He chewed it three or four times, not knowing what the taste was. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Can the weak become strong?"
Who says that is not a dying struggle?
After hearing these words, Wen Xin could tell that Canary was feeling strange.
He turned around quickly and saw the thin boy raising his head, his pupils were bloodshot, and his extreme unwillingness and inferiority were intertwined together, suppressing it into a violent storm.
"Sir, do you think I can become stronger? Can I be stronger than the black cat you raised?"
This is a destined answer. No matter who you ask, the only answer you get is "no".
But Canary didn't mind hearing it again from Wen Xin, because Wen Xin's love for Black Group was obvious to all.
In this way, even after being denied, he can comfort himself that it is not because he is incapable, but because human beings are biased and selfish.
That's all I can do.
But after a brief moment of astonishment, Wen Xin actually looked straight into his eyes, frowning as he spoke every word.
"Why not?"
As if a bolt of thunder had exploded in her chest, the canary looked up in disbelief.
