C31 Li Qiang
After a week of hunting, Xiang Jing had reached Level 14 with one fifth of his experience.
Now that his level had improved, Xiang Jing found that the experience and experience gained from hunting those scattered monsters were getting fewer and fewer. It took him a week to level up, so it would only get slower and slower.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried to hunt down and kill those monsters, but every time, he would return empty-handed. Occasionally, he would kill a monster, and later on, he would be chased until he was miserable, almost losing his life.
Today, Xiang Jing had rested up and was ready to go to the zoo to try his luck when a group of people rushed out from the street.
"Where did that brat run off to?" How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye? "
"Motherf * cker, are we going to meet a ghost in the middle of the day? Search this place, even if we have to dig three feet out of the ground, we're still going to dig that little bastard out. He dares to steal from us? He must be tired of living!"
Xiang Jing, who was in the living room, suddenly lifted his Wind Breaking Hammer and rushed into the living room, pointing towards the entrance.
A sloppy-looking youth with bruises on his body appeared at the door.
His untidied hair had covered most of his face for who knows how long, but his dark eyes were as sharp as a wounded beast's.
Xiang Jing looked at him carefully and found that his right arm was hanging unnatural in front of his chest. It looked like it was broken, so he didn't know what it was.
Xiang Jing said, "Those people outside, are they looking for you?"
The teenager did not answer Xiang Jing. He only protected the thing in his arms tightly. He stared at Xiang Jing and slowly retreated towards the door.
"You guys search upstairs, that little bastard is injured, he definitely won't be able to escape!"
Suddenly, a shout came from downstairs. The youngster who was about to leave tightened his expression. His eyes flashed left and right as he tried to find a place to escape.
Xiang Jing's eyes narrowed, he put down the Wind Breaking Hammer and said, "Come in, if you are caught by those people, you will die miserably."
The youth hesitated for a moment, but the footsteps downstairs were getting closer. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the bedroom.
"Dual-attribute Physique?" "Interesting."
Xiang Jing opened the door and sat on the sofa in the living room. He had used the Data Analyser to analyze the data called Lee Qiang.
The level and strength weren't that high, it could even be considered a small feat. However, his attribute was the dual thunder and water attribute. Source also admitted that this kind of dual attribute was a rare type of Evolver.
Xiang Jing became interested and decided to save his life. Otherwise, no one in this apocalyptic world would be willing to meddle in other people's business.
A few minutes later, the two hulks rushed into Xiang Jing's room and saw him sitting on the sofa.
One of the bearded man frowned and shouted, "Who is it?"
Xiang Jing didn't even glance at him and said, "Get the hell out of here if you don't want to die."
"Brat, you're very arrogant." The other man shouted in annoyance, "Do you know who we are? "Believe it or not …"
Before the man with the split could finish speaking, he was stopped by the man with the long cheek. He cupped his hands and said, "Friend, we have no ill intentions. We are only looking for a thief. We hope that it will be convenient."
Although Xiang Jing looked ordinary, there was nothing special about him at all.
However, after the man had crawled and rolled around for so long in this apocalyptic world, he had good eyesight.
This place was close to the zoo, the various shopping malls and many apartments. It could be said to be a forbidden area for survivors of De City, and it was because of this that Lee Qiang dared to run in here recklessly.
However, Xiang Jing showed up here alone. He was dressed neatly and had a calm expression. He didn't seem like someone who had lived in the apocalypse at all.
Furthermore, Xiang Jing gave him a faintly discernible sense of oppression. Coupled with the current strange atmosphere, it made him feel afraid.
"Friend, we have no other intentions. We just want to find that thief and then leave."
Xiang Jing said impatiently, "I only have one thing to say, go or die."
After hesitating for a moment, the man with a long face blocked the man in the middle and brought him away.
The split male said unhappily, "Old Hu, what are you afraid of?" "Just a little chick like that, and I alone can take his life."
"What do you know?" Old Hu glared at him and said, "That person is not as simple as he looks on the surface. Don't talk rubbish. Go find Boss and meet up with them to discuss what to do."
To be honest, it wasn't because he was afraid, but because the feeling Xiang Jing gave him was too weird. It was out of instinct, if it was someone else, he would have rolled up his sleeves long ago.
However, it was also thanks to Old Hu's intuition that he believed him. Otherwise, he would only be two ice-cold corpses right now.
In the living room, Xiang Jing poured a cup of water for Lee Qiang, sat opposite him and asked, "Speak, why are they chasing you?"
Seeing that Lee Qiang didn't move at all, Wu Tie picked up the cup of water and drank a mouthful, then placed it in front of Lee Qiang.
Lee Qiang looked at Xiang Jing. After confirming that he was fine, he picked up the glass of water and gulped down the water in one gulp.
Even so, he had no plans to say it.
Wu Tie nodded and suddenly said, "Your name is Lee Qiang, from Changchang City, right?"
Lee Qiang suddenly became nervous and tensed up.
"Don't worry." Xiang Jing leaned on the sofa and looked at him. "If I wanted to kill you, you would already be a corpse."
Xiang Jing threw two cans of food to Xiang Jing from the Interspatial Ring. "Eat something first, there's no hurry."
Lee Qiang pursed his lips and struggled to pull open the ring. He grabbed the meat with his hand and started to wolf it down. It seemed that he had been starving for a long time.
Ten minutes later, after drinking a glass of water, Lee Qiang burped in satisfaction.
Xiang Jing just looked at him silently, waiting for his reply.
Facing Xiang Jing's gaze, Lee Qiang lowered his head as if he was hesitating.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "They are a group of unorganized survivors nearby. Their goal is to kill the other survivors' supplies. My original location was attacked by them."
Xiang Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not just because you escaped the net that they chased you."
Lee Qiang nodded. "We found a mysterious metal fragment while we were searching for supplies. They attacked us with their people after they got wind of something."
Lee Qiang took out a metal piece the size of half a palm carefully.
Xiang Jing took the metal fragment. It was a dark silver color with a light blue line on it. The surroundings were uneven, and it looked like it was part of a particular area.
Xiang Jing looked around, this piece of metal didn't look like it was made on Earth. Other than that, he didn't see anything special about it.
However, what Xiang Jing was more concerned about was that the Data Analyser could not figure out what it was.
Xiang Jing asked, "What do they want this for?"
"I don't know." Lee Qiang shook his head and said, "When we got this piece of metal, we just felt it was special and they attacked us."
"Yuan, do you know what this is?"
"Ding, this is a fragment of the D-rank Hetero-Space, according to my analysis, there are still about four identical fragments, after they are gathered they can open the exclusive Hetero-Space."
Wu Tie nodded, held the metal fragment in his hand, looked at Lee Qiang and asked, "Since you don't know what this thing is used for?" Why do you have to protect him with all your might and come to this dangerous forbidden area? "
Lee Qiang's expression turned to panic as he looked left and right, trying to think of an explanation.
Xiang Jing said, "A man's wealth is his own fault. You should understand this principle, right?"
Lee Qiang sat on the sofa nervously and nodded silently, "I admit that I lied to you. This piece of metal was discovered by a Hetero-Space entrance. We suspect that it is the key to the Hetero-Space."
"Does anyone know about that Hetero-Space?"
Lee Qiang quickly said, "Not much, I'm the only one left alive, then it's the people from their gang."
Xiang Jing placed the metal fragment on the table, and then took out the thunder attributed Gene Medicine and put it aside.
"I will give you two choices. One, take the metal fragment and leave. Two, inject this thing."
Lee Qiang looked at Xiang Jing and asked, "What would happen if I took the metal fragments?"
"He will die!"
Xiang Jing directly said, "It's not mine, it's theirs."
Seeing Xiang Jing pointing outside the house, Lee Qiang lowered his head. Even if Xiang Jing let him go, the people outside would still guard him and still die in the end.
Furthermore, Xiang Jing might not let him go after finding out the usage of the metal fragment.
Lee Qiang's gaze was fixated on the two items on the table. After a long while, he gritted his teeth, picked up the lightning attributed Gene Medicine and stabbed it into his arm.
The Gene Medicine rushed along the blood vessels and rushed into his limbs and bones.
Lee Qiang felt an excruciating pain coming from within his body. His brain was in a state of chaos, as if there was a bomb inside that could explode at any time.
Half an hour later, Lee Qiang woke up from his coma. Looking at the surrounding environment, he realized that he wasn't dead yet.
"I'm awake. How do you feel?" Xiang Jing sat opposite him and asked.
Lee Qiang stood up. Suddenly, he felt his body brimming with energy. His wounds from before had also completely recovered.
Clenching his fists tightly, he could clearly see the lightning arcs flowing on his arms.
Xiang Jing pointed at the bathroom. "Go wash your clothes first. I've prepared them for you."
Lee Qiang calmed his agitated heart. He looked at Xiang Jing in shock and nodded before entering the bathroom.
Not long after, the bathroom door opened and a handsome young man walked out.
After a bath and cutting his hair short with scissors, Lee Qiang's original appearance was revealed.
He looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, but after being modified by the Gene Medicine, his body seemed to be long, well-proportioned, and full of strength.
Lee Qiang sat opposite Xiang Jing with restraint. What happened just now was too unreal and he still couldn't digest it.
Xiang Jing looked at him quietly. He understood that the Gene Medicine's effect was too shocking, so it was normal for it to have this kind of reaction.
After a long while, Lee Qiang slowly asked, "I still don't know your name."
Xiang Jing said lightly, "Xiang Jing, it's my real name. As for what you want to call it, that's up to you."
