The network outage left the outside world completely silent.
But the hearts of the people were not at all calm.
Five people died in just two hours today, and all of them were related to Liu Kai!
Dr. Liang and an unknown woman died at Liu Kai's house.
One of the people who wanted to take the elevator to Liu Kai's house also died.
Two people who had only exchanged words with Liu Kai in the group chat also died.
People freezing to death is a natural disaster, but what we are seeing now is clearly a man-made disaster.
A sense of unease settled over everyone.
Liu Kai is a damn jinx; anyone who messes with him is doomed.
The most panicked person was Chen Fuju, who barely managed to cut off the power and escape his wife and daughter's questioning.
Then he thought about how he had already angered Liu Kai, and felt a deep sadness in his heart.
I can't help but sigh, "Xie Baoqing, why did you have to provoke Li Yunlong?"
They didn't know that Da Hu and Er Hu were also dead.
Liu Kai played a role in the deaths of the two brothers to some extent.
The others huddled under their blankets, shivering under the dual threat of the cold wave and the "plague god."
Liu Kai, nicknamed "Plague God," was humming a cheerful tune as he prepared ingredients for his hot pot lunch.
The bunker was kept at a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius, and outside the window was a sunny day simulating the climate.
Such an environment is incredibly pleasant.
The aloof little white dog lay lazily licking its glossy black fur under the bright sunlight.
Xiao Hei nuzzled affectionately against Liu Kai's trouser leg until it received a piece of luncheon meat before returning to its doghouse, completely satisfied.
Looking at the food in the storage space, Liu Kai couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Seafood is an excellent ingredient for hot pot, but storage space cannot hold live animals.
When I was clearing out supermarket inventory before, all I got were frozen goods.
Frozen small shrimp, frozen catfish, frozen ribbonfish, etc.
And the live seafood in the seafood market, such as king crab, large lobster, New Zealand black abalone, and grouper...
None of them were for him.
But what Liu Kai didn't know was that his abilities were about to be enhanced!
After preparing the hot pot ingredients.
Recalling the scene of killing the simp and the country bumpkin.
A classic TV drama scene couldn't help but flash through Liu Kai's mind.
After a master slays on behalf of Heaven, he will often leave a note at the scene (or write on the wall): Murderer So-and-so!
Of course, he didn't actually intend to leave a note after the murder to show off.
Because his handwriting was so messy it looked like a dog's scratch, he was too embarrassed to let outsiders see it.
But a sudden idea popped into my head: practice calligraphy.
It's not mealtime yet.
I'll skip the weightlifting today and practice my calligraphy instead.
I need a fountain pen to practice writing, and the supermarket warehouse I raided earlier happened to have some in stock.
Just as Liu Kai focused his mental energy on an exquisite fountain pen and was about to take it out...
Suddenly, his mind was stirred by a strange tremor!
Or rather, it was an impulse.
This feeling is very strange, as if...
A kind of devouring hunger.
"Eat the pen?"
Liu Kai was startled by this idea.
But instinctive desires never lie.
He also wanted to see what was going on.
It's just a fountain pen; I can afford to wear it out.
So I followed that impulse and gave the order to "devour".
But after a while, he didn't feel anything special.
The pen's appearance seems unchanged.
But Liu Kai clearly felt that the feeling of thirst had disappeared, as if the pen had lost its appeal to him.
Puzzled, he took out the pen and examined it closely.
The rest of the parts remain unchanged, but the originally bright silver nib has turned grayish-blue...
It is covered with extremely tiny pits and bumps, as if a part of it had been taken out of thin air.
"Huh...could this be?!"
Upon seeing this situation, Liu Kai instantly guessed what was going on!
This pen is priced at 1,800 yuan, and its nib is made of osmium-iridium alloy.
But now it seems that the pen tip has lost the "iridium" element and only the "osmium" element remains.
Because the color of the metal osmium is grayish-blue!
Although he didn't have a spectrometer, Liu Kai, a chemistry graduate, was 100% certain that his answer was correct.
I didn't realize this urge to devour people when I first started the "zero-yuan purchase" program.
Liu Kai believes that he probably didn't consciously focus his attention on things containing the "iridium" element at the time.
Now only two questions remain:
Besides the metal "iridium", can his storage space also absorb other elements?
What are the effects after consuming these elements?
Liu Kai's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he immediately began the experiment.
He focused his attention on the storage space, scanning each item one by one.
Sometimes it can cause a strong urge to devour.
Most of the time, however, things remain completely calm and uneventful.
Ultimately, he identified three elements capable of generating a devouring tremor:
Iridium, Platinum, Gold!
Immediately afterwards.
Liu Kai then experienced his physical and spatial abilities from the inside out.
However, there seems to be no significant change.
The only explanation is that it consumed too few of the three elements.
He decided to stop practicing calligraphy altogether and instead turned his attention to other items in the storage space that contained "iridium, platinum, and gold".
These three precious metals are also commonly used in electronic components.
For example, items with circuit boards, such as mobile phones, game consoles, calculators, and children's sound and light toys.
Only keep the spare phone; everything else that's useless can be consumed.
With a thought, one's mind focuses on a specific object within the storage space.
That familiar, devouring desire reappeared!
