Chapter 5 Arrival
July 15, 6 a.m.
Originally, the rising sun had already filled the sky at this time, but today, the sky was still gray, and only a small bright spot could be seen, shining humbly.
After Gu Bai got up, he looked at the sky outside through the gap in the curtains and sighed. He was really familiar with this scene. He knew very well that in the next six hours, the sky would become more and more beautiful.
It gets darker and darker, and until 12 noon, the sky will turn completely black.
After six hours of darkness, everything will be changed.
Gu Bai took a look at the system.
Experience:45
Strength (the gene lock is not displayed yet)
Spirit (the gene lock has not been started yet and will not be displayed)
Disaster gas concentration: 1% (100% can open the first gene lock)
The panel didn't change much, except for the line showing the concentration of disaster gas, which changed from 0 to 1.
Gu Bai knew very well that this meant that the disaster had truly begun.
According to the research of later generations of scholars, the reason why superhumans appear is because the genes in these people have strong adaptability and storage ability to disaster gas. When the concentration of disaster gas reaches a critical point in the body of such people,
, will change the genetic sequence, which is the so-called opening of the genetic lock.
Those creatures that turned into disaster beasts suffered such horrific mutations because their genes could not withstand the power of the disaster.
As for those ordinary people who are between disaster beasts and superhumans, it is because their bodies lack a part of the gene fragment that allows the disaster energy to store and evolve. Therefore, although the disaster energy can enter the bodies of these people in a short period of time, it cannot
This kind of person's body is affected and changed for a long time. Therefore, if the concentration of disaster energy does not reach the critical point, no changes will occur.
Gu Bai belongs to the third type of ordinary people. In his last life, Gu Bai could not change it, but in this life he will not let such a thing happen again.
Even if he had to take a desperate risk and face a life-or-death situation, Gu Bai would not be afraid at all.
Seeing the concentration of calamity on his face changing little by little, Gu Bai's eyes brightened, he involuntarily clenched the dagger in his hand, and began his daily practice.
During the period before the genetic lock was truly opened, Gu Bai could only rely on the sword in his hand if he wanted to survive.
And if he wants to forcefully open the genetic lock, Gu Bai needs to hunt down one
He knew very well how difficult it was for an ordinary person to deal with a disaster beast. The painful struggle in his previous life made him even more aware of how much effort he had to put in in this life.
What Gu Bai practiced was the most widely spread basic swordsmanship in later generations. There were no moves, only the most basic seven moves: thrust, block, pick, chop, point, cut, and cut.
Gu Bai was just an ordinary person in his later life and was not qualified to be exposed to such advanced combat skills. Therefore, basic swordsmanship was what Gu Bai was most familiar with and had practiced for the longest time.
In his last life, Gu Bai practiced for twenty years, and it was only by relying on basic swordsmanship that he was able to survive in the wilderness for so many years. At that time, although he felt that he was not as good as those so-called superhumans, he also had his own pride.
Just in terms of fundamentals, no one can be more solid than him.
It didn’t happen in the previous life, and it doesn’t happen in this life either.
Because at the very least, no one is so stupid as to be able to practice a basic method for twenty years.
After rebirth, Gu Bai could still feel the familiarity when he held the sword again. He only needed to practice more to find the original feeling for this basic thing. The only difference was that the strength of his body was not the same now.
superior.
Gu Bai has only practiced one movement "stabbing" these days.
This is targeted, because the weak point of most disaster beasts is the heart, so to hunt the disaster beast, he must ensure that he can pierce the heart of the disaster beast with all his strength.
With Gu Bai's current physical strength, even if he practices like this every day, he will only have one or two chances. With one stab, either the disaster beast will die, or he will die.
Gu Bai stabbed again and again, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times. Even though his body was exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and persisted. As long as he didn't collapse into a coma, he would keep practicing and eat some food when he woke up.
Continue and repeat this cycle.
Two months after the catastrophe struck.
In the dim dormitory, Gu Bai suddenly drew his sword, and a mosquito the size of a quail egg was directly stared at the wall by him without making a sound.
Gu Bai slowly withdrew the dagger, and all the movements were so natural. Combining the 20 years of foundation in his previous life, Gu Bai practiced "stabbing" to a perfect level in just two months.
realm.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Bai tightened his down jacket, put away his sword and sat down.
During these two months, the catastrophic situation
The situation is getting more and more serious.
A month ago, Gu Bai could still hear sporadic news on the government's evacuation arrangements and food distribution points from the radio, but now there is no news at all.
And now that the temperature is getting lower and lower, even if you wear several layers of clothes, you can still feel the biting cold entering your body.
Not only that, insects such as mosquitoes and beetles have also undergone mutations. Gu Bai has killed dozens of mosquitoes like the one just now, which means that the second stage of the catastrophe
It’s a complete start.
The concentration of disaster energy in Gu Bai's body reached 80% a few days ago and has not changed at all.
In the corridor outside the dormitory, several beast-like howls were heard from time to time. Gu Bai knew very well that these sounds were the sounds made by humans mutated into ghouls.
And this kind of thing is Gu Bai's goal.
The corpse ghost is a first-level disaster beast, and it is also the disaster beast that Gu Bai was most familiar with in his previous life. The weakness of this kind of disaster beast is in the heart, so he is the most confident in hunting it down.
I have been working hard for more than two months just for today.
Gu Bai used a strip of cloth to wrap the dagger and his palm together, slowly tore off the tape that sealed the door, and used his sword to open a crack in the door. The corridor was dark, and a strong smell of blood hit his face.
Gu Bai frowned. At this time, there was probably no one alive in the entire dormitory building.
Gu Bai tiptoed toward the door and went out. He could barely deal with one ghoul now, but if there were more, he would have to wait for death.
Therefore, Gu Bai was very careful every step he took, because he knew very well that if he took a wrong step now, he would suffer disaster.
The door of the dormitory in the corridor was wide open, and blood that had already turned black was spilled on the floor and walls. When he approached the dormitory, Gu Bai saw a corpse lying on the ground with a look of horror on his face, his stomach and head empty.
, various organs were scattered on the floor, and flies the size of fists landed on it, and finger-long maggots were crawling inside, which looked very disgusting.
This situation is not limited to this dormitory. The current dormitory building is simply a purgatory on earth.
Gu Bai walked cautiously, and just as he was about to reach the entrance of the corridor, a gray shadow happened to come up from the corner of the corridor. Gu Bai frowned and hid in a dormitory, looking through the reflection of the small window on the dormitory door.
