Chapter 151 – Approaching Science: The Human Body Edition

“Walking over seems like it won’t make it in time…” Su Lifeng shifted his gaze to Xu Hao’s back and thought inwardly. But the moment this thought appeared, he abruptly came back to himself. Looking at his feet again, there was already one dead and one injured.

“That feeling just now was truly focused.” Even Su Lifeng himself was somewhat surprised. He savored that state and felt as if everything had slowed down in his eyes. It was not complete precognition, but it had indeed produced the effect of precognition.

Most importantly, this was something he could control himself!

His original Precognitive Ability could only wait for it to appear on its own. Although it was very useful, it was ultimately too uncontrollable. And Su Lifeng actually found this feeling of not having everything in his own hands very unpleasant. But now, after Awakening, this flaw had instead been made up for!

“Rather than calling it precognition, it would be better to say it’s a kind of ability… similar to time control. But precognition itself is originally an ability related to time…” Su Lifeng thought with some excitement. If there were any shortcomings, one might be that the duration was not long enough, at most around one second. The second was that because it required too much focus, the mental burden was rather large, and it could not be maintained for too long.

Now that he had come back to himself, his temples were already faintly swelling, which was enough to explain the problem.

But no matter what, the flaws did not overshadow the brilliance!

Moreover, Su Lifeng could feel that this was still not the ultimate form of his Precognitive Ability.

Perhaps after reaching a certain level, he would be able to experience what he had at the moment of Awakening: with the vastness under heaven entirely gathered within his eyes!

Of course, this was only his current expectation. Whether he could actually reach it, or whether that was truly the limit, no one could say clearly now.

“Back then, there were arguments that the human body concealed the mysteries of life, and that its potential was endless, only that without external stimulation, evolution had basically stopped. That portion of potential had never been developed. At the time, I felt this was water without a source, a groundless fantasy that had never been proven. I didn’t expect it to actually come true now…” Back when he had been researching why he possessed Precognitive Ability, Su Lifeng had learned many things related to this area.

Only now did he feel that he had glimpsed a clue. The Xenospecies beginning to break through Earth’s Protective Layer was not something that had happened overnight. It was just that back then, when problems appeared in the Protective Layer, no one had noticed at all…

“I escaped!” In the instant he was about to step through the door, a trace of excitement flashed through Xu Hao’s eyes.

Going to the laboratory had been entirely his suggestion, but they truly did need a foothold.

On the contrary, Su Lifeng’s method of coming in and not even asking many questions made him feel that Su Lifeng was extremely brutal and impossible to understand!

At this time, he had already forgotten that just now, he had been the one who said they should properly teach Su Lifeng a lesson and make a move against Jiang Yushi…

However, at that moment, a whoosh suddenly came from behind him.

In the next moment, he felt his entire body lift off the ground. After being thrown out heavily, when he raised his head again, a figure had already appeared before him.

Xu Hao tremblingly raised his head and looked at Su Lifeng, as well as the Bone Wings behind him…

If the previous Su Lifeng had at least maintained the impression of refinement on the surface, then the current him, in Xu Hao’s eyes, had completely become a demon!

Looking down from above, Su Lifeng’s eyes made Xu Hao’s heart tremble.

“Take care of yourself.” Suddenly, Su Lifeng threw down this sentence, then turned and walked back into the room.

Xu Hao froze at first, then became wildly delighted.

Could it be that Su Lifeng still regarded him as a good classmate?

But just as he wanted to stand up, Xu Hao suddenly discovered that his lower body seemed empty. He lowered his head and found that, at some point, blood had already pooled beneath him…

“What is this?” Xu Hao turned his head and looked behind him.

Not far away, two severed legs lay at the doorway, the place where he had just been rejoicing that he was about to escape.

“Ah!!!!”

Hearing the scream outside, Su Lifeng did not react much.

After packing some of the supplies these people had collected into a backpack, he walked out.

When passing by the leather-jacketed man, Su Lifeng glanced at him. His eyes were already staring straight ahead.

“That thing you just used… what was it called…” the leather-jacketed man murmured.

“Awakening.” Toward someone about to die, Su Lifeng had nothing to hide.

“Awakening? What… is that…” The leather-jacketed man did not wait for the final answer.

A Black Thread drilled out from the top of his head and entered Su Lifeng’s body.

Su Lifeng glanced at the wrist where the Black Thread had drilled in and said quietly, “It’s very simple. If becoming a Mutant is external force, then Awakening is humanity’s own true power.”

After reaching the doorway, Su Lifeng discovered that Xu Hao had already rammed himself into the wall and died, probably unable to bear the process of slowly waiting for death.

He returned to the stairway corner from before, but did not see that female student or Jiang Yushi.

“Right. This girl came down from upstairs… And they seemed to have captured another girl.” Su Lifeng raised his head and looked upstairs, then walked up.

Just as he reached the upper floor, Su Lifeng heard an “ah.”

Then came a thud. Su Lifeng walked to the window and looked down, discovering that the female student’s corpse was already lying downstairs.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Yushi supported another female student and walked out of a room.

The moment he saw this female student’s appearance, even Su Lifeng felt his scalp go a little numb.

Her hair was disheveled, her face covered with bruises and scratch marks, and her clothes had been torn to rags.

Seeing Su Lifeng, she immediately nervously covered her collar and did not dare raise her head to look at him.

“Those people did this?” Su Lifeng asked with a frown.

Jiang Yushi shook her head, while that female student lowered her head even further. “It was that girl named Yu Xian who did this. She was responsible for watching her, but after bringing her here, she kept torturing her.”

The female student raised her head and secretly glanced at Su Lifeng. Su Lifeng immediately froze. That gaze seemed to be the very line of sight he had felt…

But looking again, she had already lowered her head, making it impossible to confirm.

“When she was evacuating earlier, she was left behind. By the time she came out again, the streets were already in chaos, so she didn’t dare leave anymore and could only stay here. She thought that after meeting Yu Xian, classmates could help each other. She didn’t expect Yu Xian to turn on her after tricking her here, and even want to use her as a gift for those male students…” Jiang Yushi continued.

Su Lifeng had a bit of a headache. In truth, he did not really want to put all his energy into saving people, but this female student did indeed look very helpless.

“I’ll send you to the Quarantine Zone.” Up to now, he had not gone close to the Quarantine Zone to take a look. This also seemed to be an opportunity.

“Th-thank you.” Hearing Su Lifeng say this, the female student finally said weakly and quietly.

But when Su Lifeng looked at her again this time, he felt that perhaps he had been mistaken about that gaze…
