The twenty-fifth day of spiritual energy revival.
It's even more chaotic outside.
The country is still trying to maintain order, but because the country announced the news and did not use the same tough measures as in the previous life, the outside world became very chaotic.
People with special abilities no longer desperately fight against mutated plants and animals. In order to survive, they focus on improving their own strength, fearing that they will fall behind and become "food".
Among ordinary people, some particularly evil people covet other people's mutant abilities and have created many cases. Some have been exposed, and there are many more that have not been exposed. Some people have been caught, and there are many more who have not been caught.
Ordinary people who dare not eat humans are unwilling to become weaklings, so they make a request to the country - to clean up the large amount of animals and plants before eating them!
The city was already in a crisis-ridden environment. From the time the news was released to the start of the civil unrest, there was a shortage of forces to resist the mutated plants and animals. The ferocious plants and animals instantly occupied the territories of many cities, and a large number of people died.
The population has plummeted.
Of those who died, some died at the hands of mutant animals and plants, and some died at the hands of humans...
The capital was in a slightly better situation, but many smaller cities could no longer hold on and gradually disappeared.
Although the country has issued orders not to injure anyone and has laws that require immediate shooting upon discovery, many people still possess special abilities from "cannibalism."
In this situation, those who have evil thoughts in their hearts are even more restless and cast their greedy eyes on others.
——After all, compared to animals with special abilities, humans with special abilities are easier to kill and have greater benefits.
At this time in my previous life, most people in the city were still working and schools had not yet closed.
At this time in Liu Jingwei's previous life, she was still paying attention to various news on the Internet while going to school and looking for a job with Qiao Baizhi.
But this time, she didn't even dare to go out alone to look for animals and plants that contained spiritual energy!
What is the first mover advantage?
Everything she knew was already known to the people of the whole country!
They used to resist the animals and plants in the suburbs, but now there are many people every day, but most of them are in a team. No one with special abilities dares to go out alone, unless they are strong enough to not be afraid of various assassinations.
Many people began to gather together for warmth.
Just as good people and ordinary people stick together, some dark forces also quietly stick together.
Those dark forces have committed many crimes, and people with special abilities are their primary targets, followed by people like Liu Jingwei who have eaten a lot of mutated animals and plants and have a lot of spiritual energy in their bodies.
"Ah--" Liu Jingwei let out a short cry of surprise, and subconsciously swung the knife in her hand at the person who rushed out.
"Jingwei!" Liu's father exclaimed and also slashed at the person who had done the evil thing with his weapon.
That person actually didn't have any special abilities. He was just a gangster before the revival of spiritual energy. Now that the spiritual energy has revived, he hasn't evolved and appears particularly weak.
If he really had the ability, he wouldn't attack people in broad daylight.
——To take action now is obviously a sign of self-destruction and someone who is almost driven crazy by the difficult world.
Liu Jingwei and Liu's father were both evolved and very strong. They killed the man with two blows. At this time, the patrol team hurried over.
"Jingwei, are you okay?" Dad Liu asked anxiously.
Liu Jingwei shook her head: "Dad, I'm fine. I was just startled when he suddenly rushed towards me with a knife."
She had fought against mutant plants and animals before, had seen many dead people in her previous life, and had even killed her parents with her own hands... Qiao Baizhi, so she calmed down quickly.
In today's world, killing someone in self-defense is no longer a big deal.
After the patrol registered them, they asked them to sign and then dragged the body away.
Before leaving, the patrol officer gave a warning: "There are a lot of crazy people like this now, so you should be more careful, especially young women. Try to go out as little as possible and avoid remote places without surveillance. If you do go out, it's best to go out in groups. Don't hurt anyone casually, and don't use force if the other party doesn't mean to offend you."
After saying that, the patrol team left.
Liu Jingwei and her father took the mutant animals and plants they had harvested today home. They seemed a little silent along the way, especially when they saw the closed door of the next room. Liu Jingwei saw her father was stunned.
——Obviously, at this moment, he had made a decision in his heart.
When I get home, the meal is ready.
"The world is in such a mess now. Jingwei is a girl, and her life will only become more difficult in the future. According to Jingwei, she must accumulate enough spiritual energy in the first three months so that she won't become... food later." Dad Liu held the bowl but didn't eat. He gritted his teeth when he said the last two words.
Neither Liu Jingwei nor Liu Ma said anything.
Father Liu pursed his lips and said, "Everyone is selfish. I hope my daughter can live forever. If she doesn't want to be reduced to food, she must be strong! I can only apologize to the Qiao family. I am a selfish father."
They all knew that the Qiao family could only live a good life thanks to that dog.
Once the dog dies, their family will be unable to move forward in this world.
When Liu Jingwei said she wanted Xiao Qiao, her father was silent. After returning home, her mother didn't say anything either.
But a seed had already been planted. When the seed took root and sprouted, that was when they made up their minds to take action against Xiao Qiao.
After a few days, the seeds are already stirring.
Today, someone attacked Liu Jingwei in broad daylight, which made the seeds in their hearts sprout and take root immediately.
——It is true that the man has mental problems, but it is also true that the world is in chaos.
The sooner you become stronger, the more opportunities you can seize.
After a long pause, Liu Ma said, "Ms. Qiao and his wife both have stable jobs and are protected by the government... Nothing will happen to their family... It's just a dog. Many people are eyeing their dog right now, and we just acted before they did..."
The three members of the family had the same idea, so they decided to take action against Xiao Qiao.
——Five years earlier than in the previous life.
Liu Jingwei didn't say anything, with her eyes slightly lowered.
She thought, in the previous life, her family all died at the hands of that dog, so killing it to avenge them was... normal, right?
And she had sworn long ago that she would be ruthless, because only by being ruthless could she survive!
She failed in her previous life because she wasn't ruthless enough. This time, she must be even more ruthless in order to survive!
A determination flashed in Liu Jingwei's eyes.
The 30th day of spiritual energy revival.
Baizhi is combing Xiaoqiao's hair at home.
"Be good, do you hear me?" Bai Zhi whispered.
Her glasses, perched on the side of her nose, gleamed faintly in the light.
Xiao Qiao: “Awooo~”
Bai Zhi patted it and said, "You are a dog, not a wolf."
Xiao Qiao: “…Woof!”
Baizhi was satisfied and continued to comb her hair.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
She went to open the door. Liu Jingwei was standing there, looking at her with a smile on her face: "Xiaozhi, come to my house for lunch. My mother cooked a lot of bacon. Please come over and have some."
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Liu Jingwei: "Let's go. Your parents won't be home for lunch today, so it's a good opportunity for you to go to my house for lunch."
As she spoke, she boldly reached out to pull Baizhi.
For some reason, Bai Zhi now always gave her a different feeling. She always felt like she was being seen through and at a loss when in front of her.
Liu Jingwei shook her head violently, impossible!
How could she see through herself?
Even Liu's father and mother didn't know that she was reborn, and it was even more impossible for Qiao Baizhi to see through her!
——It’s just because of the revival of spiritual energy that many people’s personalities have changed.
It was the same in the previous life. Many people’s personalities changed drastically due to stimulation.
Although Qiao Baizhi is different from her previous life, if Xiao Qiao can become different, it is not surprising that Qiao Baizhi has changed, right?
"Okay." Bai Zhi responded in a hoarse voice.
Liu Jingwei was delighted: "Let's call Xiao Qiao and give him a good meal today."
"Okay." Bai Zhi agreed.
Behind them, Xiao Qiao, who had been staring at Liu Jingwei fiercely, gritted his teeth and followed them into the Liu family next door.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu are still as warm and hospitable as before.
They pressed Qiao Baizhi down on the sofa, poured her some water, and gave her something to eat.
Production has not stopped and supplies are still sufficient. Although they are in a dangerous situation, they are not short of food.
So the snacks that existed before the era of spiritual revival are still available now.
"Oh, the world is so chaotic nowadays, Xiaozhi, do you know? Jingwei was almost killed a few days ago. Those people were like crazy and kept attacking people!" Aunt Liu said as she served the dishes.
Father Liu nodded. "That's right. You know that little Zhang from the building next door? He mutated because he kept eating the vegetables grown at home. One of his hands can grow bigger and longer, and it's as hard as steel. Everyone is envious of him. But the day before yesterday, he was secretly killed while going out. His body was found, and there was a hole where his heart should be..."
When Dad Liu said this, there was genuine worry and sigh in his eyes.
What good is it to have a hand as strong as steel?
Their most coveted possession is their heart...
"Everyone is killing people, and there is no sense of security. If the country had strictly controlled it, it would not have become like this. Everyone is in danger." Liu Ma couldn't help complaining.
——There are indeed many problems with the country’s handling of the matter.
Bai Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly -
"It's impossible to control it. Even if we can control it for a while, or a year, we can't control it forever. People with special abilities will become stronger, and animals and plants will become stronger and stronger. In one year, three years, five years, ten years, the state machinery will get out of control, and fighting is the ultimate result. It's just a matter of time."
Liu Jingwei's pupils shrank and she looked at her suddenly with disbelief in her eyes.
She actually guessed the future!
In my previous life, the country was very strictly controlled, and the unrest was only temporary. Most of the time, humans were working together to fight against mutated animals and plants, and killings were carried out secretly and privately.
However, in the fifth year of the revival of spiritual energy, the reason why there were two voices in the country was that many people with special abilities had become very powerful and bullets had no effect on them.
There are also mutated animals and plants that are so powerful that they are difficult to deal with. If the animals and plants were not attacking and devouring each other, humans might not be able to exist anymore.
Even some heavy weapons were useless. Moreover, due to the spiritual energy revival era, many military factories were swallowed by the forest and stopped production. The country's weapons had long been exhausted in the riots...
People with special abilities have become an important part of the battle. Even if they kill people and eat their hearts, the country cannot easily take action against them.
At that time, seeing that the country was about to completely lose control and a real era of chaos and loss of control was about to come, they attacked Xiao Qiao in order for her to survive.
She actually guessed it all!!
Liu Jingwei took a deep breath, trying to keep her breathing steady, and stopped thinking about how much Bai Zhi knew.
She sat down next to Bai Zhi, poured her tea, and said softly, "Alas, it's too dangerous anyway. Even though you have Xiao Qiao, you shouldn't go out too often. There's a big gang committing crimes recently. I don't know how many people they've killed, and they haven't been caught yet."
At times like this, evil forces always tend to breed.
They gather everywhere, kill people to gain their special abilities, and then protect these murderers. As a result of their evil deeds, there are more and more people with special abilities in their gang, and their actions become more and more rampant.
And it seems that villains who eat mutants, mutant plants and animals are more likely to gain special abilities...
I don’t know why.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi suddenly looked at her, her voice full of meaning, "People's bottom line is getting lower and lower. Many people don't even have a bottom line at all. They give their selfish behavior a name, saying things like they want to survive or protect their families, and then they justify hurting, killing... and even cannibalizing others."
The last two words were light, yet powerful.
The three members of the Liu family suddenly felt a tightness in their hearts.
Bai Zhi raised her teacup and clinked it with the cup in Liu Jingwei's hand: "Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Liu Jingwei pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and after a while she said, "Yes, it's ridiculous..."
Baizhi smiled and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Oh, let's not talk about these sad things. Today, we finally invited Xiaozhi to have a good meal. We haven't had a lively meal for a long time. Come, sit down and eat."
Aunt Liu called out to everyone, "Come quickly, everyone. Jingwei, give Xiao Qiao a pot of meat too. Things are different now than before, so let's eat as much as we can."
The Liu family was very well prepared today. In such a precarious situation, although there was no shortage of meat, many people were reluctant to touch the storable meat like bacon.
Not only did they cook a big pot, they also served a big basin for Xiao Qiao.
——I guess after this meal, all the meat they have left will be gone.
"Awooo--" Xiao Qiao looked at the pot of meat in front of him, cried out twice, and refused to eat.
Aunt Liu looked a little worried. "Why isn't Xiao Qiao eating? Xiao Zhi, just let it eat. Don't be polite. We've put it all in its bowl. It would be a waste if it doesn't eat it..."
Bacon is quite precious nowadays.
If Xiao Qiao doesn't eat it, the meat in the dog bowl will be wasted.
Bai Zhi looked at the pot of meat and raised her eyebrows slightly.
——It’s so familiar, exactly the same way the original owner did before his death.
There is anesthetic in Xiao Qiao's pot of meat. The anesthetic is extracted from a mutant plant. It is colorless and odorless, and the effect is very strong. Even mutant animals will lose consciousness.
Xiao Qiao has a keen sense of smell and refused to eat. The original owner yelled at Xiao Qiao to eat because of Liu Ma's words, but Xiao Qiao just took two bites perfunctorily and refused to eat it.
So later they just took action and accidentally killed the original owner.
The original owner didn't know what happened after that, but Bai Zhi could guess from Liu Jingwei's attitude towards Xiao Qiao -
Xiao Qiao ate little and was traumatized by the original owner's death, so she might have bitten the three of them to death on the spot.
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows, walked over, and put her hand on Xiao Qiao's neck: "Eat."
Xiao Qiao: “…Woo.”
He lowered his head and took a few bites symbolically.
Aunt Liu strode over and said, "Oh, what's going on? Why doesn't Xiao Qiao want to eat? Is she feeling unwell?"
Bai Zhi: "It's okay."
Her hand was still on its neck, her eyes becoming increasingly dangerous. "Hmm?"
Xiao Qiao looked at his master with a feeling of grievance.
——This bad guy, knowing that this is not a good thing, still insisted on letting Xiao Qiao eat it! Awooo!
——But the bad guys were too scary, so Xiao Qiao could only vent his anger on his flesh.
It ate it all up mouthful by mouthful, filling the entire bowl with meat, leaving not a single bit behind.
After eating, it looked at Baizhi.
Bai Zhi looked at the Liu family again.
Liu Jingwei never expected that Xiao Qiao actually ate it!
Then her eyes lit up with joy, it seemed that other preparations were no longer necessary.
She hurried to the kitchen to continue beating meat for Xiao Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, eat whatever you want. There is no shortage of meat out there now, and in this world, we just have to live one day at a time."
The meat at the end was all “unseasoned”, which made Xiao Qiao enjoy eating it even more.
I have to say that the Liu family’s meat is quite good, and Xiao Qiao was very satisfied after eating it.
——Its bad owner doesn’t stew meat for it. When it’s hungry, he just gives it a dose of nutrient solution and doesn’t allow it to eat prey from outside.
——Xiao Qiao hasn’t eaten meat for a long time!
It ate with big mouthfuls until its tail started wagging.
One bowl after another, soon all the meat in the kitchen was eaten up except the bowl on the table.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu looked distressed. This was the last bacon in their family, and they wanted to eat it for a while longer!
But thinking about what's going to happen next...
After all, they are the ones who are doing the dog a disservice, so let it eat whatever it wants.
Liu Jingwei brought the bowl of meat over to Xiao Qiao and sighed, "Give it all to Xiao Qiao. It's rare that he likes it so much..."
"Woof!" The golden dog had no idea what politeness was.
Since you’re already eating, just enjoy it!
So, the last bowl of meat was also eaten by it, and all the other dishes on the table also went into its stomach.
Originally, the Liu family invited Baizhi to dinner, but before Baizhi and the Liu family even started, Xiaoqiao had already finished eating and even ate up all their meat!
"Oh, I'm so sorry, this guy eats too much." Bai Zhi said, standing up with a smile on her face.
At this moment, her legs seemed to go weak and she fell to the ground without any support.
Liu Jingwei's eyes were filled with even more excitement, and she took a step forward: "Xiaozhi, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know either. I feel a little dizzy..." Bai Zhi shook her head and cheered herself up.
"Woof!" Xiao Qiao came closer.
But after just taking two steps, its legs gave way and it fell to the ground, making a weak sound: "Ouch—"
Bai Zhi suddenly looked at Liu Jingwei, her eyes gleaming with brilliance: "Did you drug me?"
silence.
The room fell silent.
There was only the humming sound coming from Xiao Qiao.
Liu Jingwei had already reached Bai Zhi. She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly. "I'm sorry, you're right. People's bottom line is getting lower and lower. I admit that I am selfish, but I must gain strength and must be ruthless."
Bai Zhi stared at her closely without saying a word.
"Don't look at me like that. I, I can let you go. We have been together for so many years, and I don't want to kill you..." Liu Jingwei lowered her eyes.
"You really don't want to kill me?" Bai Zhi suddenly asked back. Her eyes were almost closed, but she tried hard to open them and look at the woman in front of her.
Liu Jingwei looked at her fiercely: "No! I want to kill you! If I let you live, you will definitely hate me and seek revenge on me. I can't leave any trouble behind. I must be ruthless!"
Bai Zhi curled her lips: "Then why bother looking for some high-sounding excuses..."
Liu Jingwei took out the knife with shaking hands. Although she had killed someone in her previous life, it was an accident, a counterattack. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to kill someone, and the person was a childhood friend she had known for many years...
"I'm sorry... There's an anesthetic in the tea you drank, so you won't feel any pain." Liu Jingwei stabbed the knife into Bai Zhi's heart with shaking hands. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Bai Zhi didn't beg for mercy, and her expression didn't even change.
She just looked at her and said very calmly: "Don't regret it."
After saying that, Bai Zhi closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
"Jingwei!" Aunt Liu was stunned.
They just wanted to kill Xiao Qiao, not Qiao Baizhi!
This was the girl they had watched grow up, an innocent person. They were determined to take her dog away, but they had never intended to kill her!
"In this kind of world, she can't survive without Xiao Qiao. In that case, let her die." Liu Jingwei's voice was almost emotionless.
She pulled out the knife and stabbed it into the heart of the howling Xiao Qiao, killing him with one blow. Thanks to the anesthetic effect, Xiao Qiao closed his eyes without feeling any pain.
Liu Jingwei dug out Xiao Qiao's heart, held it in her bloody hand, and stood up, her face full of tears but her eyes firm.
"Mom and Dad, from today on, I will be different from the Liu Jingwei of the past. I will be ruthless and I will live well!"
Aunt Liu looked at the man and the dog on the ground and didn't say anything for a long time, but her eyes were red with guilt.
Father Liu said in a hoarse voice: "Alright, this is fine..."
His body was hunched over.
Liu Jingwei looked at Bai Zhi's body and said in her heart -
I'm sorry, but if I were to live my life again, I would definitely live well.
I will pay you back in my next life.
Xiao Qiao’s heart is indeed extraordinary!
Liu Jingwei looked at the flame in her hand and was extremely excited.
Liu's father and mother were also excited. They stared at her closely and said excitedly, "You actually evolved special abilities because of this?!"
"Yes, and it's fire ability!" Liu Jingwei's voice was full of excitement.
What are plants most afraid of?
fire.
Fire ability is a very coveted existence. Among all people with special abilities, those who possess fire ability are the most powerful and also die the fastest!
Even though countless people covet it, even though it is extremely dangerous, fire ability is still an ability that everyone wants to evolve.
It really is worthy of her rebirth!
After taking a deep breath, Liu Jingwei calmed down and looked at her parents: "Mom and Dad, please don't tell anyone. Before I grow up, no one must find out."
"Okay!" Liu's father and mother also put away their excitement and nodded.
——Good special abilities come with great dangers.
Liu Jingwei looked at the bodies of Bai Zhi and Xiao Qiao in the living room. She moved her hand and a ball of fire burned them to ashes. Liu's father and mother watched in silence.
After a while, Aunt Liu put their ashes into a jar.
As if she had thought of something, she said, "I don't know what's going on. Neighbor Qiao's parents haven't come back yet. They didn't come back yesterday, and they haven't come back today either."
"Huh?" Liu Jingwei was a little surprised.
At this moment, the room suddenly became dark and the power went out.
Liu Jingwei quickly went to the kitchen, and sure enough, the water was also cut off.
She was dazed for a moment, looking suddenly in one direction, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Jingwei?" Aunt Liu lit the candle.
Liu Jingwei: "Something must have happened to Qiao's parents. The Water Conservancy Bureau is the place that many criminal groups want to attack the most. Qiao's parents probably won't be able to come back..."
It was like this in my previous life, but the accident at the Water Conservancy Bureau happened much earlier in my previous life.
But this life was already in chaos, so it was normal for the accident at the Water Conservancy Bureau to happen early. But when she thought of the couple who treated her so well, Liu Jingwei was silent for a moment.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu sighed but said nothing.
After a long while, in the darkness, Liu Jingwei whispered, "It's good that they're gone. This way, we don't have to explain to them what happened to Xiaozhi and Xiaoqiao... They should be reunited as a family now, right?"
"Yes, in this kind of world, it's better to die..." Aunt Liu felt it was a little dark and went to get another candle.
Liu Jingwei said, "Mom and Dad, go back to your rooms and sleep. Blow out the candles. I'm staying in the living room tonight. If we make such a big noise, many people might try to take advantage of the situation. It's not safe with the light on."
Aunt Liu quickly blew it away, a little anxious: "What should I do? It's already been lit for a while!"
"It's okay," Liu Jingwei comforted her: "Mom, I'm very powerful now. I can't lose to those strong people. We can be cautious, but there's no need to be too cautious. I will protect you."
In the darkness, hearing this, Liu's father and mother smiled.
At this moment, the guilt and sadness in their hearts gradually dissipated.
——People are always selfish and only care about themselves.
Three months of spiritual energy recovery.
The entire country of China is in chaos, with animals, plants and humans killing each other, and crises are everywhere.
The capital is relatively better, after all, it is the core of the country, but other cities have long been in chaos, with the law of the jungle and no order.
——The capital city is already busy with its own affairs and cannot care about others.
At this time, the spiritual energy in the air disappeared. On the radio, the expert said -
"...According to research, it's no longer possible to rely on the air to obtain spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the air has disappeared. From now on, plants and animals will no longer change from day to day, and there will no longer be drastic mutations."
Also on the radio, the leader said—
"...All of humanity should unite. Animals and plants will no longer grow stronger at an accelerated rate. As long as we unite, we will be able to completely eradicate them, and human life will surely recover..."
The leaders called for unity among them, their voices excited.
Liu Jingwei turned off the radio.
She knew that the era of true chaos was coming.
The experts in this life are obviously more powerful than those in the previous life. They know more information and, unlike in the previous life, they don’t keep it secret. Instead, they make it all public.
What does Reiki mean?
It means becoming stronger, and it means living longer!
This is the era of spiritual energy revival and evolution. As long as they always stand at the top of the food chain and become stronger and stronger, will they be able to evolve to the end and possess... immortality?
——It is a crisis, but also an opportunity.
Unity?
That's impossible. Everyone wants to be the strongest. There's no trust between people anymore!
Who dares to trust others easily now?
Even the country can't do that.
