Chapter 524 "Infecting the World" - Male Mother (135)
Zhao Linchuan immediately gave up the idea of waiting for An Tang to arrive.
Once the other party arrives and is under their supervision, I dare not do it again... Just thinking about it makes me feel like I have thorns in my back.
The reason I can imagine this is because for a period of time I could see An Tang standing behind Xiao Qi almost every day, supervising Xiao Qi as he did his high school homework.
Then, when she tutored students who didn't understand something, she would try to find anyone who could solve high school problems to help her.
He became a free tutor.
"Do you want to start now, or wait for An Tang to come?" Liao Tingyuan asked again when he saw that he was still hesitating.
"If you really insist on waiting for her..."
Before he could finish saying "okay," Zhao Linchuan shook his head abruptly: "No need, Brother Liao, let's begin."
"We can lock the door, otherwise what if Sister Tang comes in and disturbs us in an emergency?" Zhao Linchuan suggested.
"The boss called An Tang here in case of an emergency," Liao Tingyuan said calmly.
Looking into Liao Tingyuan's eyes, Zhao Linchuan understood the unspoken meaning in his words: "I called An Tang here... because I was worried that you were really unreliable."
Zhao Linchuan suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders inexplicably lighten.
See, everyone thinks I'm unreliable.
This feeling came strangely, but the sense that someone was preparing to cover for him made Zhao Linchuan breathe a sigh of relief.
He has indeed been pushing himself too hard lately.
"Then... let me try?"
Seeing Liao Tingyuan already sitting in a chair with his hands casually resting on his lap, Zhao Linchuan walked over.
Halfway there, he returned to the place where the source of infection had been placed, took the original carrier of infection, and placed it next to Liao Tingyuan.
"Brother Liao... I don't know what will happen, but if you feel uncomfortable at all, you must tell me!"
Zhao Linchuan gave instructions.
"Although the boss agreed to our plan, he also said that your safety is the most important thing! Brother Liao..." Zhao Linchuan said sincerely, "We can't lose you!"
Then he noticed that Liao Tingyuan's gaze had become sharper.
Oh no, I said the wrong thing again.
Zhao Linchuan nervously fiddled with his rather long hair, wrapping it around his fingers and then letting it go, before placing his left hand on the carrier of the infection.
He placed his right hand on the back of Liao Tingyuan's hand, which was resting on his knee.
He was originally squatting on the ground.
But to avoid being distracted, he sat down abruptly, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and quietly began to feel.
"Brother Liao... I'm really starting this time. It might not happen all at once, because I need to try to transform it little by little..."
He said in a serious voice.
"This is your ability, you can decide for yourself, it's up to you," Liao Tingyuan replied calmly.
"Ok!"
Zhao Linchuan tried to act as usual, avoiding thinking that Liao Tingyuan was one of the people being transformed, which helped him concentrate better.
But he couldn't help but think about it...
While trying his best to convert the virus into other infectious vectors, Zhao Linchuan was thinking: the faster and more energy radiation he could cram in...
I wanted to make sure everything could be accommodated, so as not to give up halfway and get stuck.
But when it came to Liao Tingyuan, he had to control himself. He absolutely couldn't make the conversion too fast, nor could he be too aggressive, because he had to worry about Liao's health.
As the energy radiation was concentrated by him.
Zhao Linchuan sensed that the energy radiation was slowly entering Liao Tingyuan's body.
It wasn't my imagination... Brother Liao's body really can absorb the converted energy radiation!
It was definitely not just his imagination... Although he had observed it several times, Zhao Linchuan still had some doubts in his heart, wondering if he was mistaken, because no one's body could ever directly enter energy radiation.
These survivors were not affected by the energy radiation entering their bodies, but rather by its effects.
Influencing and entering their bodies are two completely different concepts. Just like some harmful substances can induce illness in people, but these harmful substances do not physically enter people's bodies. They only cause changes in people's bodies through images.
And now, Liao Ge's body... seems to have become a container.
Although Zhao Linchuan found it strange to say that, he felt that this transformation was smoother than his previous ones, even very smooth, without any sense of obstruction.
Originally, the transformation was something that would have required his effort, but now... it was so smooth that it seemed as if he didn't need to exert any effort at all. He was like a transfer station that didn't require any energy expenditure.
The energy radiation naturally flowed into Liao Tingyuan's body. Zhao Linchuan's only task was to control the speed after conversion, so that it wouldn't be converted into Liao Tingyuan's body too quickly.
It has already surpassed the last attempt!
During the last experiment, it could only convert this much energy radiation, and it was completely full, with no more room to go in! It felt like a full water bottle, with not even a tiny gap.
The energy radiation entering Liao Tingyuan's body now exceeds that amount...
There is still no sense of sluggishness!
It seems we are still far from reaching our limit.
In normal experiments, Zhao Linchuan would feel very excited. If all of them were converted into the virus, then they would have found a way to replace the source of infection.
But now, he can't be happy.
There was even a hint of wanting to quickly reach that feeling of being unable to turn in, of reaching the limit, because that way, it would be perfectly reasonable not to need Brother Liao as the vehicle anymore.
But things backfired.
Zhao Linchuan even felt that he was losing control. He couldn't control the speed of the conversion. The energy radiation couldn't wait to be converted into Liao Tingyuan's body. For a moment, Zhao Linchuan felt dizzy. Did this really require his own ability?
Moreover, there has been no resistance so far.
It seemed as if there was an insatiable vortex inside Liao Tingyuan's body, allowing energy radiation to flow into it!
Zhao Linchuan had never felt this way before. He felt a vague sense of fear, which left him completely uncertain and unable to understand what was happening.
Although they often face things that cannot be explained or understood, and everyone seems to live in a huge mystery, today's events, when energy radiation combines with the human body, have brought this feeling to its peak.
Zhao Linchuan even considered letting go, but he didn't, because Liao Tingyuan turned around and pressed his hand down!
Zhao Linchuan was startled! His shoulder twitched for a moment, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Liao Tingyuan's face. He had just been completely lost in his own thoughts, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own will or he had been affected by the energy radiation again.
Liao Tingyuan looked at him, his expression unchanged, but his face was frighteningly pale.
Even in the dim light, Zhao Linchuan was still startled. He opened his mouth to speak, but found that because he was too nervous, it felt like there was a piece of cotton stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
He was worried about Liao Tingyuan's current condition. Could it be that... he seemed quite lucid, but had actually been gone for a while?
The thought popped into Zhao Linchuan's head at an inopportune moment, and he became even more worried: Could something have really happened to Brother Liao?
Otherwise... otherwise how could your hands be so cold?
Once Zhao Linchuan snapped out of his own thoughts, he was able to sense Liao Tingyuan's state.
The hand he pressed against the back of his own hand was as cold as ice, almost bone-chillingly cold. Zhao Linchuan felt a stinging sensation on the skin that touched it.
"Brother Liao... Brother Liao!"
Zhao Linchuan finally spoke.
But because he was so nervous, his voice cracked and sounded particularly shrill.
Especially when Liao Tingyuan did not respond to him, Zhao Linchuan screamed even more shrilly!
Liao Tingyuan felt completely weak. The only reason he was able to stay in the chair was because he had something to lean against, which allowed him to maintain his current posture.
So he was completely unable to move and could only try his best to steady his breathing.
My body felt as if it were being rapidly filled with a large amount of ice water; the chill was penetrating, spreading from within, unlike any other coldness I felt outside.
There's no way to describe it.
This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.
But Liao Tingyuan could clearly feel that his body was able to receive that energy radiation.
Although he didn't know how Zhao Linchuan felt at the moment, Liao Tingyuan could sense that the energy radiation entering his body seemed to have merged into it seamlessly, rather than the feeling of pouring water into a bottle and having a limit.
Liao Tingyuan is generally not affected by energy radiation.
But at this moment, he felt that all his senses were blurry, he had no emotions or thoughts, and everything seemed to have become very distant, with only himself merging with the energy radiation...
Until they heard Zhao Linchuan's heart-wrenching screams...
It's incredibly penetrating.
At first it was just a blur, then it became clearer and clearer until the sense of direction returned to his mind. Liao Tingyuan could hear the heart-wrenching noise right at his feet.
Then, the sense of touch was restored.
Because Zhao Linchuan was grabbing his pants and shaking them vigorously.
Liao Tingyuan rarely had impulsive emotions and had absolutely no interest in getting into conflicts with people, but at this moment, for the first time in a long time, he had a desire to kick someone.
Zhao Linchuan's shouts gave Liao Tingyuan a headache so bad he felt like his skull was about to crack. He was clutching his pants, and Liao Tingyuan could feel his body going limp... slowly sliding down the back of the chair, completely unable to control himself.
Zhao Linchuan, however, was completely unaware.
But at this moment, Liao Tingyuan wanted him to stop pulling him, and tried to shove him aside, but he was helpless; it was truly...
This was a supplementary statement made by An Tang when Zhao Linchuan was halfway through his speech.
Because Liao Tingyuan doesn't have the strength to speak yet.
"Huh? Sister Tang, you made this up yourself!" Zhao Linchuan retorted loudly, "I just... I was just concerned about Brother Liao!"
Liao Tingyuan did not tell him these things, but he did tell An Tang.
He spoke in a straightforward manner, roughly meaning that he hoped An Tang could be present if there were a next time, and that his decision not to have An Tang present this time was indeed a misjudgment.
When An Tang heard this, she felt worried, but she couldn't help laughing so hard she almost choked. In that situation, Liao Tingyuan's biggest worry was whether he would fall off his chair... I'm dying of laughter!
But the scene was indeed quite frightening.
That day, Liao Tingyuan wasn't pulled off the stool by Zhao Linchuan... because An Tang came.
Before An Tang even came down the stairs, the moment she opened the door to the basement, she heard Zhao Linchuan's wailing and howling.
"I was so scared my legs went weak. How could you scream so horribly?" An Tang still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now.
That night, she received a call from her boss, and when she heard about his crazy decision, she had already objected.
But the boss called only to inform her that Liao Tingyuan and Zhao Linchuan had started their experiments with his permission.
An Tang was so anxious that she practically catapulted out of her house.
She was already extremely uneasy, and her way of thinking was different from Zhao Linchuan's.
Zhao Linchuan possessed this ability, while An Tang, from an outsider's perspective, found it utterly absurd.
When they arrived at the location, they met the staff guarding the top and confirmed that the two of them were down below.
As soon as the door was opened, Zhao Linchuan's heart-wrenching cries could be heard... as if Liao Tingyuan was about to die.
"I almost tumbled down the stairs," An Tang said, her hand on Lu Liruan's shoulder, still shaken.
Because what they said was so vivid and well-reasoned...
And there were several people, several perspectives, and several testimonies.
It was truly spectacular. Although Lu Liruan didn't want to, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
Sometimes, even when you're angry, the things you hear still make you laugh.
Lu Liruan felt that they were doing it on purpose, but she found that they spoke very sincerely, as if they had never checked their accounts with each other in the past few years.
In recent years, the accounts have indeed not been reconciled...
This was the first time Zhao Linchuan had heard of it; he had almost pulled Brother Liao off the stool.
He then spoke softly, muttering to himself in defense: "Wasn't I just worried? Brother Liao was sitting there with a deathly pale face, barely blinking. Of course I was worried."
"If you want to see if he's alright, at least reach out and check his breathing, right? Otherwise, what if he was still breathing but you disturbed him and caused him to lose his breath?" An Tang's words made Lu Liruan's hair stand on end.
"That was my first time experiencing it too, I had no experience. If I come again next time, I'll know..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Lu Liruan's sharp voice: "You want a next time!"
It also has a somewhat mournful tone...
Zhao Linchuan glanced at Liao Tingyuan and realized that he could definitely sense that Liao Tingyuan wanted to kick him.
