Seeing the reflection of Ju Bei's soul, Gou Liang was very surprised.
Ju Bei's soul was not the original soul of this world. It was clearly a turtledove occupying a magpie's nest, but it was not kicked out by the Lord God's law.
How was this possible?
The system was also very surprised, and immediately reported this question to the Lord God's system.
Gou Liang continued to look at Ju Bei's soul.
He came from a C-level world, and his background was very similar to the current world before the apocalypse, but the technology was not as advanced. He was an orphan, and in his original world, he was just an ordinary office worker with a meager salary and had to help the orphanage that was on the verge of bankruptcy. His life was not very good.
The reason he crossed over to this world was because of a novel called "Facts of the Last Century".
Because of his difficult life, he appeared to be optimistic and strong, but in fact, he was very pessimistic. In his heart, he wished that the world would end tomorrow, so that he could end the suffering in front of him.
Therefore, he was a fanatic fan of apocalyptic novels.
After following "Facts of the Last Century" for more than a year, who would have thought that the stupid author would suddenly destroy the novel without saying a word? He waited for two months, but there was no update. Coincidentally, he had sent all his salary to the orphanage to deal with the emergency, so he could only hold a bowl of instant noodles to fill his stomach.
"Ju Bei" was angry from the bottom of his heart, and crazily made negative comments under the novel: "Trash author, a poor bastard who destroys novels!"
Then … he choked on his noodles and crossed over.
[Ding, No. 00401, please be informed.]
[When the fragments were scattered to various worlds, an accident occurred at the soul receiving station of the Space Administration. A number of souls were affected by the fragments and fell to other planes. The Administration has arranged for other people to collect these souls. Please focus on your mission and ignore it.]
This was the first time Gou Liang heard of this.
He raised his eyebrows. Since Ju Bei came to this world before the world was sealed, then there was no need to be too surprised.
However, he did not dare to compliment Ju Bei's IQ.
He believed that he had crossed over into a novel, and that was nothing. The key point was that the protagonist of "Facts of the Last Century" was not Shi Buyu, but Jia Nanzhu, the earth ability user.
Have you ever heard of an Earth Elemental Esper protagonist?
Gou Liang clicked his tongue and vented his anger. His beloved target turned out to be the cannon fodder in the book, and he died in a very aggrieved manner! When Gou Liang saw this, he couldn't help but curse, "Trash author doesn't even have a little chirp!"
The book described how Jia Nanzhu became an overlord in the post-apocalyptic world and how he subdued countless concubines.
The author was also good at flirting. In order to show the male protagonist's "deep affection", he made every single one of Jia Nanzhu's "bottom" carry the shadow of the protagonist's true love — Ju Bei, the mistress of Jia Nanzhu who died when the apocalypse came. Not only that, but after the main character got tired of the little bottom, the author arranged an accident for them to receive a boxed lunch.
In this way, Jia Nanzhu would always be the affectionate male protagonist who loved one person in his heart and had a substitute by his side.
This disgusted Gou Liang.
Fortunately, the author still had a bit of conscience and wrote in the text that this was a newspaper article.
Before her transmigration, Ju Bei not only read it with great interest, but also foolishly believed it. When she found out that she had transmigrated into Jia Nanzhu's true love, she was wild with joy and had already prepared a million words of sweet drama in her heart.
Fortunately, the flirting author didn't involve his beloved target too much, so he didn't write too much in the book.
After they parted ways in the Jia Family's underground laboratory, Shi Buyu, as a "strength ability user", didn't see the protagonist again. Naturally, the novel that revolved around Jia Nanzhu didn't mention him.
It wasn't until the second last chapter that the book mentioned that Shi Buyu had awakened the lethal Thunder Elemental Esper due to a fortuitous encounter.
However, before Shi Buyu could become famous as the world's only Thunder Elemental Esper, he died in a battle in the next chapter. At this point, the author gave up.
After quickly reading the article, Gou Liang cursed and fell into deep thought.
Although the plot of "Facts of the Last Century" was a little brainless, the world's background was very well written.
Whether it was the exotic beasts, or the chapters before Jia Nanzhu and Shi Buyu parted ways, everything was written exactly like what had happened in the real world. The descriptions of the scenes in the book were also very vivid, as if the author had seen it with his own eyes.
Then, he gave up when he wrote about Shi Buyu's death …
Gou Liang couldn't help but wonder if the author of "Facts of the Last Century" was someone from this world when the target's vital signs disappeared. Perhaps the things he wrote about, whether it was the trash attack Jia Nanzhu or the battle with the exotic beasts, were his own experiences.
Since Ju Bei could transmigrate to this world, then it wasn't impossible for others to transmigrate to Ju Bei's original world.
Just as Gou Liang was about to analyze the possibilities of this matter, he suddenly heard Shi Buyu and the others mention him. He immediately stopped his train of thought.
"Boss, what do we do with this fatty?"
The one who asked was Zhou Gao.
Just like Yu Lin, he was a Soldier King who had been trained by Shi Buyu. He was discharged from the army due to an injury during a high-risk mission and was left behind by Shi Buyu as a bodyguard in the Shi Family.
The system's scanning eyes locked onto them while they were talking and began to scan their data.
Zhou Gao.
Physique upgrade: Strength.
Potential: Speed, Fire Ability.
Gou Liang thought to himself, 'This guy really needs to be taught a lesson. Listen to his tone of disdain when he called out "this fatty", hmph.'
"Old Zhou, hurry up and accumulate some good karma. He's not completely dead yet. It's not easy to survive in this world. If we can help him, then we'll help him. If we really can't … "The person who spoke suddenly laughed." Look at his weight. The exotic beasts will definitely like him. It's not bad to use him as a human wall for us. "
Yu Lin.
Physique upgrade: Speed.
Potential: Strength, Ice Ability.
Compared to the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted Zhou Gao, this person was the one who wasn't easy to offend.
"Brother, you're the one who needs to watch your mouth."
Yu Sen.
Ability: Wood Ability.
Physique potential: Speed, Strength.
Although he was Yu Lin's biological brother, Yu Sen was an upright person who was as honest as his appearance.
"Alright, you guys are taking advantage of this opportunity to slack off! Quickly move the corpses and let Boss send them on their last journey. It's so annoying to have them piled up here! "
Qin Bei.
Physique upgrade: Strength.
Potential: Speed, Wind Ability.
The scanning eyes locked onto the last person who was silently doing something and hadn't said a word from start to finish.
Jang Ren.
Physique upgrade: Strength.
Potential: Speed, Metal Ability.
Gou Liang had already analyzed the exotic beast blood and beast core. These two things both contained soul power.
A person's intelligence, five senses, physique, and potential were all directly related to soul power. A person with powerful soul power would definitely excel in one of these aspects. For example, the original owner of this body had soul power several times that of a normal person, so his intelligence was first class.
If a living person directly swallowed soul power, they could take it for themselves and add points to one of their attributes.
Among them, strength and speed required the lowest amount of soul power, while speed required more soul power than strength.
Therefore, it was easy for a person who swallowed soul power to show a difference in strength. If the original owner's soul power was higher, it would directly show a difference in speed.
Soul power itself was harmless. Although there was a limit to the amount of soul power a soul body could withstand, it wouldn't die from just a mouthful of beast blood. The reason why the effects of beast core and beast blood were completely different was because the soul power in beast core was pure, while beast blood had many impurities.
If the original owner's soul power was unable to purify the external soul power, then these impurities would directly cause the soul power to explode and the soul body to leave the body — — in other words, death.
Gou Liang had already calculated that as long as the original owner's soul power was ninety times stronger than the soul body's, the original owner's soul power would be able to digest the impurities in beast blood.
And the soldier elites who followed Shi Buyu naturally had enough soul power.
After the five people from Zhou Gao piled up the scattered corpses, they looked at Shi Buyu who was seriously tidying up the Shi Family's appearance.
Not long after, Shi Buyu retracted his hand and took out a cigarette box from his trouser pocket. Just as he was about to light a cigarette, he noticed that they had already collected the corpses.
"Time's up."
Shi Buyu sighed and stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket.
"Captain …"
"Boss …"
Yu Sen and the others looked at him worriedly.
They had already tried their best to stall for time so that he could have more time to say goodbye to his family.
However, the pain of parting with life and death would not be reduced because of this.
Shi Buyu smiled, and then a bluish-purple electric current flowed around his finger, gradually condensing into a ball of electricity. It slowly grew bigger and bigger, gradually enveloping his family.
He said, "Dad, Mom. In the past, you always said that after death, it would be fine to bury you two together … Your son is unfilial and even gave you so many light bulbs. If you're unhappy, you can come and find me, talk to me, scold me however you want … "
"Big Brother, Second Brother, take good care of our family's old man and Madam Wang in the afterlife. Sigh, I'm just saying nonsense. I haven't been filial to them all these years. You've taken good care of them. You're much better than me … really. "
He was long-winded and his voice was choked with sobs, but he soon calmed down.
Shi Buyu took one last look at his family members who were covered by the bluish-purple ball of electricity and clenched his fists —
The power of thunder suddenly appeared!
In the blink of an eye, the corpses in the ball of electricity had disappeared, leaving only black ashes.
Shi Buyu stepped forward and carefully swept up the black ashes that he couldn't tell who it belonged to. He had completely eliminated them. His parents, brothers, two sisters-in-law, and five nephews and nieces were just a small pile.
After putting the ashes into a box, Shi Buyu touched the cold iron box. When he raised his head again, his complexion had returned to normal.
He smiled, took out the cigarette box, and threw it to Yu Sen. He put the small sealed iron box into his pocket and said with a smile, "Keep an eye on them for me. I only have one pack left. I'll have to rely on this smell for decades to live. If anyone dares to smoke my cigarettes, I'll smoke them to death. "
Seeing this, the five people breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. Zhou Gao, who was even more addicted to smoking than Shi Buyu, had said that he was stingy. It was fine to let him have a sniff.
However, Yu Sen solemnly put away the cigarette box and said, "Captain, don't worry. I promise to complete the mission!"
As he spoke, he even gave Shi Buyu a textbook military salute.
Shi Buyu tapped his temples with his fingertips and casually returned the salute. He said that Yu Sen was a good man and then dealt with the mountain of corpses in the same way.
After everything was done, he raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "Rest here for five minutes. We'll evacuate according to the original plan."
"Yes!"
The five people straightened their backs and replied in unison.
Shi Buyu waved his hand and said, "Don't be so serious when we're escaping. It's as if we're going to die."
As he spoke, he laughed to himself. Then, he looked at Fatty Gou, who was lying on the ground alone after the corpses were taken away.
He clicked his tongue in disdain and said, "This fatty, who's going to carry him later?"
Yu Lin was the first to say, "Boss, I'll drive!"
Zhou Gao didn't want to be left behind and said, "I'll drive the second car!"
Qin Bei and Yu Sen said in unison, "I'll defend!"
The five people looked at Jang Ren, who didn't say anything. Unfortunately, the honest man wasn't so easy to bully.
He shook his head, which meant that he had made his stance clear.
"So, you guys don't want to carry this fatty, right?" Shi Buyu looked at the five people who shook their heads in unison and clicked his tongue. "Fine, I really do have a grudge against that fatty surnamed Tang."
As he spoke, he walked forward and grabbed Gou Liang's collar. He was about to lift him up when he suddenly heard Gou Liang moan.
"F * ck."
Shi Buyu was startled. When he heard this sound, he didn't know why but his ears suddenly heated up and his waist and eyes went numb.
Then, he looked at Gou Liang's face, which was squeezed together because of the pain. Only then did the strange feeling in Shi Buyu's heart disappear.
He cursed in his heart and subconsciously put Gou Liang down gently. "Ah Sen, take a look at what's wrong with him."
Yu Sen hurriedly came forward.
He didn't notice Shi Buyu's flash of discomfort just now. He took Gou Liang's temperature and said, "His fever is fifty degrees. Boss, is this the same as the symptoms of the awakened ability you told us about?"
Shi Buyu cleared his mind and looked at Gou Liang's body. It was true.
Zhou Gao chuckled. "This one hundred and fifty kilogram fatty is really different. Everything he does is slow. I think other people can digest that energy in twenty-four hours, but he can't even break through the fat layer! "
"Hahaha, Old Zhou, I haven't seen you in a few years. Your mouth is getting worse and worse."
Qin Bei laughed loudly.
Yu Sen said, "Captain, should we take him away now?"
Shi Buyu nodded. If Gou Liang failed to awaken his ability, it would only be a matter of an electric ball. There was no way they would let him become food for the mutated beasts.
As soon as the five-minute break was over, Yu Lin drove out the modified escape car from the Jia Family's basement.
The supplies in the car were all packed when they decided to part ways with Jia Nanzhu and the others. They didn't take into account the area that Gou Liang occupied.
Qin Bei gestured and poured out a pile of supplies from the first car. Yu Sen and the others worked together to move them properly.
Zhou Gao cursed, "This damn fatty really knows how to make trouble for us."
Qin Bei said, "I heard that he can't even walk. In the future, when we work hard outside, we have to feed him? Why?! Hey — I heard that he can eat more than the average fatty? "
Yu Lin, who had been in City A for seven or eight years and had heard about the original Tang Tang, was also worried at this time. "That's the rumor. Probably because he uses his brain too much and consumes too much energy. He eats more than twice as much as a fatty like him. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the several people who were working silently stopped.
Looking at the two cars, they calculated that the five people's food intake and necessary consumption was enough to let them live for three years. Could it be that even half a year wasn't enough for this fatty?
However, the rest of the supplies brought by the Shi Family had already been given to Jia Nanzhu as accommodation expenses. If they had known that they had to raise this animal … Hey, it's hard to buy it with money. If only they had known earlier!
Zhou Gao said seriously, "Boss, it's not too late to get rid of this pig now."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense —"
Before Shi Buyu, who was about to lift Gou Liang up and throw him into the car, heard a ripping sound — the clothes that couldn't bear the strength of Shi Buyu's arms and Gou Liang's weight were torn apart.
The six people present: "…"
Gou Liang: Can I apply for a retake of this scene, Director Yi?! (> ﹏)
Shi Buyu coughed, thinking to himself that this fatty's flesh was pretty white. Afterwards, he carried Gou Liang on his shoulders and thought to himself, Oh, he's pretty soft too.
*
There were three people in each car — Gou Liang was directly ignored — one person in the front and one in the front was in charge of driving and defense, while the other person took over the defense every six hours.
At this time, in the compartment of the first truck, Gou Liang was sitting against the wall like a soft rag doll, groaning in pain.
Shi Buyu felt very uncomfortable when he heard the moaning.
With his professionalism, whether it was falling asleep or waking up, it was something he could do at any time. However, at this moment, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing this, Shi Buyu simply took out his computer and opened the map, starting to think about what their next step should be after they arrived at the armory and obtained the weapons.
His superiors had already given him the mission he needed to carry out after his successful transformation. After the holidays, he had to devote himself to it.
Now that the holidays had ended early, Shi Buyu was ready to complete his mission.
In fact, the large scale invasion of the exotic beasts wasn't the first exotic beast to invade.
Two years ago, a dragon-shaped exotic beast had appeared in the deep sea southeast of their country. At that time, they thought that the exotic beast was a creature that had been asleep since ancient times and had just woken up. They didn't expect it to actually come from outer space.
Back then, Shi Buyu had personally led his troops to kill the exotic beast named Seawing Dragon. Afterwards, the experiments he participated in were also related to exotic beasts.
He was the one who consumed the Seawing Dragon's beast core. After discovering that soaking it in the beast's blood was useless, the others directly drank the beast's blood.
There were twenty people who participated in the experiment.
At the beginning of the experiment, their survival rate was 100%. Shi Buyu had even awakened his lightning ability, surprising the research team.
However, after two years of the experiment, the people who continued drinking the beast's blood died one after another, leaving him the only one left …
His original mission was to go to the area where the Seawing Dragon first appeared and find out if there were any more of its kind. There was no need to investigate this anymore, so he needed to carry out an additional mission.
If there were more of its kind, he needed to find a way to exterminate them and prevent them from harming humans.
Although this mission was impossible to complete, Shi Buyu still needed to find a way to exterminate them and let humans become the masters of this territory once again.
"Kaka!"
A few crisp sounds of bones cracking and an intense cry of pain made Shi Buyu come back to his senses.
Seeing that Gou Liang's bones were actually growing, Shi Buyu's expression changed. He hurriedly cleared out the work space in the carriage and laid Gou Liang down.
Then, he saw Gou Liang growing taller.
Yes, taller.
In front of him, Gou Liang's bones, which had been squeezed by his fat to the point that there was no space left for him to grow, were already somewhat twisted. It was so painful that Gou Liang rolled on the ground.
Afraid that he would topple over the supplies, Shi Buyu could only hold him in place.
This painful process didn't last too long. Or rather, it was so short that Gou Liang was dumbfounded.
169CM?
How could it be 169cm?! I clearly set it at 180cm!!!
In the Sea of Consciousness, Gou Liang transformed into a roaring body.
The System said in a trembling voice, "Master, the potential of the host … It's up to here. 0v0 "
Gou Liang said, "Trash tool, bullsh * t upgraded version of the face value chart! Give me back my 9998 points! I want a refund! "
The System said, "… This is a notice from the mall: Dear user, the goods have been sold. Unless they can't be used, no refunds are allowed. Mwah ~"
Gou Liang said, "Mwah, your sister!"
However, he could only accept this ridiculous height of 169cm. Gou Liang, who was mentally prepared to learn from others' strengths to make up for his weaknesses, prepared his signature "IQ 150" look and opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Shi Buyu, Gou Liang was stunned.
"Shi Yu … Shi Yu?"
His nose turned sour. Gou Liang's eyes were unexpectedly scalded by tears, and they rolled down.
His 150 IQ acting skills completely collapsed at this moment. Gou Liang lost his composure and cried out, "Shi Yu, you are … Shi Yu?"
Shi Buyu's appearance carried a sense of familiarity that was engraved in his soul's memory. It was Shi Yu's face, but it wasn't Shi Yu's appearance either.
Instead, it was the appearance of Shi Yu in his twenties and thirties that Gou Liang had imagined and described countless times.
