Ling Yi's Speculations and Preparations, the Revival of Demonic Qi Was Like an Apocalypse!
As expected, the authorities responded to the matter in the news and offered several suggestions.
First, black fog fears sunlight, especially ultraviolet rays. Even when sleeping at night, do not turn off the lights and always keep lighting fixtures, especially ultraviolet lamps, nearby.
Wherever there is light, the black fog will not approach.
Secondly, regarding the claim that the black mist can make people stronger, the Fangzheng working hard to investigate it, and it is not yet certain whether there are any side effects. The public is advised not to try it lightly.
Officials can only offer suggestions; they cannot enforce anything.
Wherever there are mountains and forests, there will be black fog; the only difference is the density of the fog.
The authorities can't stop it.
Third, never go out on cloudy days or at night. Once it gets dark or cloudy, the fog will spread outwards. Only by staying at home in a well-lit place can you ensure your safety.
Fourth, the Mutant have completely lost their minds. They will attack all living beings and devour their flesh and blood. Moreover, as a large number of living beings' flesh and blood are devoured, the Mutant will become stronger.
Or rather, it's evolution.
Some Mutant are no longer afraid of sunlight and can walk in it.
Those bitten by Mutant will be immediately assimilated into Mutant; ordinary people will undergo mutation within seconds.
"In other words, the most dangerous ones right now are actually these Mutant!" Ling Yi said slowly, looking out the window.
"The black mist fears sunlight, but Mutant can evolve to walk freely in the sunlight."
"What if the Mutant storm the city..." Uncle's eyes were full of worry.
The strength, speed, and defense of Mutant are far superior to those of zombies in movies.
The key point is that if you are bitten by Mutant, you will immediately become Mutant.
If a large number of Mutant were to flood into the city, it wouldn't be long before the entire city would be filled with Mutant.
"Before it gets dark, my second aunt and I will go downstairs to buy some lamps, flashlights, batteries, and things like that. Otherwise, if we run out of light at night, we'll all be doomed before the Mutant even come out."
My second aunt made a decision quickly.
Let's put aside the Mutant issue for now; we need to make sure there's enough light in the house first.
"Yes, the sooner the better, otherwise it will be difficult to buy once everyone realizes it." Uncle Er nodded in agreement.
"Then you must be very careful. If things get out of hand, make sure you're safe first," Ling Yi warned.
He's just an ordinary person now, and even if he went out, he wouldn't be of much help.
It's better to figure out your own strengths first, so you can better help your family in the future.
"Don't worry, your second uncle here was a soldier, and with my current strength, if anyone tries to cause trouble, we're not easy to bully."
"Enough nonsense, we'll talk when you get back. Let's go!" Auntie snapped her the Snap.
"Alright!" Second Uncle immediately followed.
After the two left, Ling Li complained, "Dad's such a coward!"
"Is that how you talk about your dad?" Ling Yi rolled her eyes.
" Ling Yi, I think that perhaps only by strengthening the black energy can humanity have a glimmer of hope," Ling Li said earnestly.
Ling Yi didn't refute, but nodded. "Everything has its pros and cons. Perhaps you're right. If humanity doesn't have a way to deal with it, it will definitely be a disaster."
"And this countermeasure is very likely this black mist."
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Ling Li's eyes lit up.
"I think this is the revival of Spiritual Qi. It's just that the Spiritual Qi is too concentrated, so ordinary people can't withstand it. As long as we master the right balance, we can use the Spiritual Qi to become stronger."
Ling Yi curled his lip. Getting stronger might be true, but there was no Spiritual Qi revival; Demonic Qi revival was more likely.
"Whether it's Spiritual Qi or Demonic Qi, let's put that aside for now. It's best to play it safe for now and verify some things tonight."
Even if your guess is true, we still need to find a safe and effective way to become stronger, and verify the precise data on how black energy can make people stronger.
"How do we do it?" Ling Li looked at Ling Yi with hopeful eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever Ling Li encountered a problem she couldn't decide, she would habitually turn to Ling Yi, and Ling Yi would always find a relatively effective solution.
This made Ling Li trust Ling Yi completely and rely on him very much.
It wasn't just Ling Li; even her second uncle and aunt were the same.
Generally speaking, the person with the most say in the family is the second aunt, followed by Ling Yi, while the second uncle Ling Feng and the younger sister Ling Li are ranked lower.
However, when it comes to major decisions, Ling Yi actually has the most say, and his second aunt will take the initiative to step back.
This is the recognition that Ling Yi has earned from his many achievements over the years.
Ling Yi had lived two lives, and in his previous life he lived to be over forty.
Ling Yi's experiences in his previous life were much richer and more exciting than those in this one, involving all sorts of people and events.
From a small-time hoodlum to a gang leader, he gradually built up a considerable reputation and accumulated initial capital before leading his Xiao Di to legalize the gang.
He turned to become a renowned entrepreneur, and even almost went into politics.
Unfortunately, he was ultimately killed by a boomerang he used in his youth.
Back when he was in a gang, Ling Yi Ling Yi quite a few people under his control, including one gang leader whom he personally killed.
Twenty years later, his son grew up and sought revenge for his father. On a rainy night, he tackled the drunken Ling Yi to the ground next to a trash can.
That's how this time travel happened.
In his previous life, Ling Yi lived a wonderful life, but it was also very tiring. He was always on edge and cautious.
I never trust anyone around me and am always wary of everyone.
After transmigrating, he remained absolutely wary of his second uncle's family, believing that their kindness towards him must have ulterior motives.
This state of mind lasted for several years until Ling Yi entered junior high school, when an event completely changed Ling Yi perspective.
From then on, I let down my guard against my second uncle's family and completely treated them as one of my own.
Ling Yi, having let down his guard, cherished this hard-won family bond and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I originally thought that Ling Yi would live a peaceful and uneventful life in this world.
Unexpectedly, a surge of Spiritual Qi —or rather, Demonic Qi— suddenly appeared.
Ling Yi didn't care whether he lived or died; he had already lived a full life, and a very fulfilling one at that, which he felt was worthwhile.
But I hope that my second uncle's family can survive in this apocalypse.
Yes, the apocalypse—in Ling Yi's view, this was the apocalypse.
The black mist fears light, but the Mutant do not.
Given the Mutant' immense strength and Mutant ever-increasing numbers, how long can the light of night last?
If Mutant were to evolve into one with a brain, its first target would probably be human power plants.
When the power goes out, and night falls, under a cloudy sky and shrouded in black fog, how long can humanity survive?
What is this if not the end of the world?
Unless humanity can find a solution before the light disappears.
For example, becoming stronger by using Demonic Qi.
"Try to become stronger before the power goes out," Ling Yi said slowly.
"Power failure?"
"Yes, with the increase in Mutant and the continued invasion of the black mist, power outages are inevitable."
"If we can confirm that the black mist can make people stronger without any side effects, then let's create a safe place to become stronger before the power goes out."
"For example, actively drawing in the black mist, and then gradually becoming stronger with the help of the black mist."
Ling Li was a bit overwhelmed. How to draw in the black mist? How to create a place to become stronger? It was all a mystery.
It doesn't matter, I'll just listen to Ling Yi.
Isn't this how we all grew up?
Around 5 p. m., my second uncle and aunt returned.
Both of them were carrying large bags and packages, especially the second uncle, who was carrying a huge box that almost prevented him from getting through the door.
The two not only bought various lights and flashlights, but also a lot of power strips, batteries, and chargers.
In addition, there are rice, noodles, vegetables, and other foods.
The family then began decorating the room.
Try to ensure that all the dark corners of your home are illuminated by sunlight.
Ling Yi cooked dinner. After all that work, both Uncle and Aunt were exhausted. Uncle was alright, though, since he had been exposed to the black mist and had become much stronger.
But my second aunt was just an ordinary person, and she was already exhausted.
After dinner, the family had a short meeting, and Ling Yi shared her thoughts with her second uncle and aunt again.
"What do you think?" Uncle asked Aunt.
"I don't really watch it. Ling Yi is right. The power will go out sooner or later. If we can't become stronger and find a way to deal with it, we can only wait to die."
"However, I'll personally conduct the test tonight," Auntie said.
"No way!" Second Uncle rejected the idea without even thinking.
"I've already been strengthened by the black mist; I'm more experienced than you."
"You have an experience from Bagou. If you hadn't been lucky enough to trip and fall out of the black mist, you would be Mutant by now."
"It just won't work," Uncle said firmly.
At this moment, Ling Yi spoke up, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, please calm down."
Upon hearing Ling Yi speak, the two immediately stopped arguing.
"Until the side effects of the enhancement are confirmed, someone in the family must be guaranteed not to have been infected by the black mist, so my second aunt cannot be tested."
"This..."
"See, even Ling Yi says so, so don't argue," Uncle said, patting Aunt's shoulder.
"That should be Ling Yi, not me."
"Second Aunt, I definitely need to conduct the tests. Only by testing them myself can I find the pattern and determine the precise data for becoming stronger."
"No..."
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you must listen to me on this matter!" Ling Yi said earnestly.
"Alright, that's settled then. Next, we need to renovate the bathroom. It's getting dark soon, we can't waste any more time."
Regardless of what the others thought, Ling Yi immediately began assigning tasks.
"Second Aunt, you're in charge of controlling this switch; your hand is the steadyest."
"Second Uncle, you stand guard at the bathroom door and are responsible for pulling people out."
"Sis, you're in charge of keeping an eye on the surroundings. If any Mutant appear, be sure to notify us immediately."
"Good!"
"Clear!"
"Yesse!"
