Chapter 6 Live Well

The next day, in the living room, Lin Qingqing sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at a medical record in her hand. Her heart was full of mixed feelings: Lin Qingqing, female, 28 years old, diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

This was her previous medical record. She had taken medicine for three years and had chemotherapy for two years.

Looking at the pile of cancer medicine in the corner, Lin Qingqing couldn't help sighing.

Ever since she woke up that morning, she felt that she was different from before. In the past two days, she had clearly felt the changes in her body.

The pain and weakness in the past had never appeared again since yesterday. Even after killing the zombie next door and moving so many things, she didn't feel tired. It was as if someone had changed her body. She was not strong, but she was very healthy.

Thinking of the zombies outside, Lin Qingqing boldly guessed that it might be another evolution of human beings. Those who failed would become zombies, and those who succeeded would have excellent physiques like her.

She didn't know what changes would happen to others, but she thought that if she could become healthy with such a weak body, other normal people might be stronger.

Thinking of the speculation about Alien Energy on the Internet before, she began to doubt her behavior of killing zombie yesterday.

Lin Qingqing had always known that she was not very good at sports. Although she was calmer and more rational than others, it was not enough for her to quickly adjust her state at the moment of the zombie attack and find the weakness of the zombie in the shortest time.

Thinking of that mysterious state at that time, every time she recalled it, she loved it.

"Could it be that my Alien Energy is to make myself calm down quickly and have a strong will to fight?"

"This is too hard to fathom!"

This had never happened before, but she had an intuition that this state was very unusual. Maybe it had something to do with the so-called Alien Energy.

As Lin Qingqing exercised, she pondered over the slight differences in her body.

The space at home was limited, so she could only do some training to enhance her strength and endurance for the time being. She didn't know if it was because of the benefits brought by the end of the world, but she could easily do what she couldn't do in the past.

Ever since she had the supplies from her neighbor, Lin Qingqing no longer needed to save food as before. Her body was thin, and she kept exercising every day, so she urgently needed a large amount of nutrition.

"After this experience, I might really be able to get rid of my illness."

Lin Qingqing prayed sincerely.

Doing basic physical training and learning all sorts of survival knowledge, such uneventful days continued to pass for more than ten days.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Lin Qingqing became strong at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her weight had increased from 88 kilograms to 105 kilograms.

Although she still looked thin, her physical condition was much better. Her strength was also the same as that of an ordinary adult man before the doomsday.

It was not until today that Lin Qingqing was really sure that she had completely gotten rid of the disease and become a healthy person.

She squeezed her fingers excitedly. Although she was a little regretful that she had not awakened any special abilities, she was already very satisfied that her body could get better.

During this period of time, Lin Qingqing stayed at home every day, and the community was very stable.

The network was cut off on the fifth day of doomsday, and she had lost the news from the outside world since then.

After such a long time, the rescue that the government had originally promised was still far away. Gradually, everyone lost patience and began to take action one by one.

Two weeks after the apocalypse, the survivors of the community began to walk out of their houses one after another, trying to get in touch with the world after the apocalypse.

Lin Qingqing saw a young man go downstairs with a kitchen knife to challenge a zombie. The two pecked at each other for a long time. In the end, the zombie lost its heads, and the young man broke his arm.

She watched the whole process upstairs. Although the young man was fast enough, he was not very strong, and the knife in his hand was too short, so he could only choose close combat.

However, although the zombie moved slowly, its body was very hard. If the weapon was not convenient or the angle was not accurate, it would be difficult to kill it in one shot.

In addition to a few people who went to challenge the zombies, some survivors who lacked food began to target their neighbors.

They pick the locks on the doors and go from house to house searching for supplies. If no one was in the house, they made a great deal of rummaging; if there were people in the house, they threatened to extort some supplies.

Fortunately, no one had killed anyone on purpose for the time being. Maybe this was just the beginning. All kinds of contradictions and crises were hidden under the water, and they had not broken out yet.

Looking at the noise in the community from time to time, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but feel anxious. She was a single woman. If she encountered someone with bad intentions, she would definitely come to no good end.

From then on, she began to be more careful. She tried not to make a big noise at home. The supplies were packed and hidden, and rice and flour were all made into food that could be stored for a long time and carried conveniently.

She didn't turn on the lights at night. She only wore simple and convenient clothes and kept her weapons with her all the time.

Now she had nowhere to go. With sufficient supplies, it was the best choice for her to stay put.

Five days passed in this way. It was the 20th day after the end of the world, but there was still no news from outside.

Someone in the community had already tried to escape. Lin Qingqing suppressed her restlessness and continued to stay at home. She still had food for 15 days, so there was no rush.

It was a "cold" day, and it was snowing heavily outside in the morning.

As soon as the training was over, Lin Qingqing leaned against the window with a glass of hot water in her hand and looked out at the snow in a daze.

It was rare to see such a beautiful snow in winter in the south. If it were in normal times, everyone would have rushed out to take photos, roll around, and post them on their social media. Unfortunately, they could only watch it like this now.

"Alas..."

When Lin Qingqing came to her senses, she subconsciously picked up the cup and wanted to take a sip of water, only to find that the water in the cup had turned cold, and there was a thin layer of ice floating on the water.

"Hmm? Is it so cold today?"

Not only was the glass of water in her hand like this, but a frost had condensed on the glass of the window she had just been leaning against.

Since the end of the world, she hadn't felt any obvious temperature changes. There was no heating in the room, and she was just wearing a thick sportswear.

Everyone who had stayed in the winter in the south knew that the winter in the south was often colder indoors than outdoors.

Lin Qingqing had not paid attention to these details before. She had always thought that her body had improved and she had done enough daily exercise, so she was not afraid of the cold.

But now she was not so sure. Not to mention, the hot water in her hand was originally freshly boiled water, but after holding it in her hand for just two minutes, it was about to freeze? This didn't make sense!

Why did the frost on the glass only exist on the side where she was leaning?

Lin Qingqing couldn't figure it out. The only thing she could be sure of was that she hadn't done anything just now.

"How can you get the snow into your own house by just looking at the snow?"

This was too funny!

Although she was a little confused, Lin Qingqing was concerned about this matter. She wanted to figure out why this had happened.

In the next two days, after careful observation, she found a few incredible things: First of all, she, who often cooked, began to repel the flames. As soon as she approached the fire, she felt uncomfortable.

What's more, in the past two days, she had dreams of walking in the snow every night.

There was one more thing. She was not sure if she had adapted to the doomsday life. The way she looked at the zombies was getting calmer and calmer. Even if she occasionally saw other tragedies happen, she couldn't feel anything in her heart.

All these things were very strange. Lin Qingqing realized that she might be the one who had become strange instead of the surrounding environment.

However, these were just her observations. She couldn't figure it out at all, and there was no way to prove it.
