walking poisonous mushroom

"I thought that even if your cooking skills are not very good, you should still be able to eat it? How can you eat this salty, sour and bitter food?"

He casually picked up the carrot juice next to him and took another big gulp, shutting his mouth tightly and swallowing bitterly: "How much sugar did you put in!"

Xun Li looked at him jokingly with the rice in his hand: "It seems that the sense of taste is normal." After speaking, he reached out and swapped the bowls of the two, "Eat this." Then swapped the glasses of the two.

He Jinluo stared at Xun Li with a cold face, not daring to speak again.Xun Li, however, nonchalantly avoided the mouthful of rice he spat out, scooped up a big spoonful and ate it.

"Hey you……"

"Although I don't have a sense of taste, I still have a good grasp of the ingredients."

"No taste?"

Xun Li didn't speak, and took a big sip of the glass of carrot juice that He Jinluo had taken a sip of.

He Jinluo stared blankly at Xun Li for a few seconds: "Is it also because of that...?"

"Yeah. Hurry up and eat the stewed rice while it's hot."

He Jinluo came back to his senses, tentatively scooped up half a spoonful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth: the taste is actually good!

Xun Li ate very little. After eating only half a bowl, he put down the spoon, leaned on the chair with carrot juice, and looked at He Jinluo leisurely.

He Jinluo was so stared at by him that his whole body was hairy, he finished the meal whole, and took the initiative to put away the bowl.

"How to deal with this garbage?"

"Pour it into the entrance of the black waste bin, the machine will decontaminate it, compress and pack the residue, and wait for the next supply ship to come and take it away."

"This house is so big, are we the only ones doing all the housework?" He Jinluo asked while washing the dishes.

"Exactly what you do, it exercises your patience."

He Jinluo sighed deeply.

"Although the place is big, there are only two people, overall it is very clean." Xun Li walked to him, lit a cigarette, "As long as you don't lose control."

"What happens if you lose control?"

"Bloodwashing the isolated island." Xun Li sprayed a puff of smoke on He Jinluo's face.

He Jinluo frowned, not sure if it was because of the choking smell of smoke, or because of Xun Li's words: "Didn't you say you have no sense of taste? You smoke so much every day?"

Xun Li looked at the cigarette in his hand: "I have forgotten what the smell of smoke is, but it can still cause some stimulation to my brain. No taste, no smell, no pain, no itching, no sickness, no pain. I will be hungry, it is difficult to absorb food, and I can only survive with nutritional needles. I can’t even play somatosensory games... Nicotine, alcohol, opioid receptor agonists and other things that directly stimulate the brain can make me feel like I am still alive.” After saying these words, he moved close to He Jinluo's ear and puffed, "There is still sex."

The movement of He Jinluo's hand was slightly stagnant, and he quietly bit the inner wall of his lower lip, and adjusted his breathing: "You still touch that kind of thing?"

"Occasionally."

"Can this happen occasionally?"

"Withdrawal reaction basically didn't affect me." Xun Li snuffed out the cigarette in his hand.

"So you helped Gu Zhanqin not only because of your father's request?"

"Yeah, I do hope he can turn me back into a normal person, at least restore those lost feelings."

"You gave me the last reagent..."

"Correct."

He Jinluo exhaled heavily through the nasal cavity, with complicated emotions: "Didn't you say that I was dead at that time?"

"Heart death is the same as I was back then. A dead horse is treated like a living horse doctor."

He Jinluo was slightly moved: "Why...why save me?"

"My pleasure."

He Jinluo took a breath and stopped talking.

"Rest for half an hour and jog along the island. On the first day of today, five laps will do."

"Five laps? That's enough? How far is five laps?"

"One lap is less than two kilometers."

"I……"

"Although your physical fitness is not as good as before, after all, you used to be an elite of NEP, can't you run ten kilometers?"

He Jinluo ran a few steps towards the door, and stopped suddenly, "You let me run, and it's not too much to give me a pair of shoes, right?"

"Barefoot." Xun Li replied without thinking.

"You... good!" He Jinluo gritted his teeth and ran out.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Xun Li lit another cigarette expressionlessly, and followed him out of the door.

Running on the beach without shoes, the sand shuttles between the toes, which is somewhat comfortable, but there are some fish bones, shellfish, starfish, and even stones buried in the sand, which makes it uncomfortable to hit the soles of the feet.

He Jinluo was fully awake at this time, he realized that his pain perception had weakened, it was not that he hadn't walked on the beach barefoot, the pain from stepping on the nipple was definitely more than that.Several times he felt that the soles of his feet were scratched, but when he lifted them up, they were intact.

The island has a complete circle of sandy beach. When I ran to the bottom of the cliff where the house is located, I found that half of the building was suspended in the air. The room he woke up in was stretched out, and the coastline was just below it. Now it is low tide time, and the beach is exposed. Come, the building is more than 30 meters above the water surface.

If it weren't for all kinds of heavy and helpless reasons to come here, this small island would be an excellent vacation spot.

After running one lap, Xun Li stood at the starting point and shouted: "You'd better not be lazy, try to run a big lap, because the closer you are to the inner side, the more rocks, and the closer to the outer side, the finer the sand, and it will be more comfortable to run."

Gritting his teeth and running five laps, He Jinluo went straight to the ground, panting heavily: "It's not like this when I ran fifty kilometers before."

"Didn't you say that you just woke up, and your physical fitness is not as good as before." Xun Li sat next to him, reached out and touched his forehead and pulse, "Apart from being tired, do you have any other feelings?"

"Leg hurts."

"Any more?"

"It's hot, it feels like it's going to burn."

"Go and soak in the water."

"Isn't that a cold?" He Jinluo shouted in surprise.

"You don't have a cold. Go."

"Wait a minute, let me take it easy." He Jinluo panted heavily.

Xun Li got up and picked him up and walked towards the beach.

"I said wait for me to take it easy!" He Jinluo struggled.

"You need to cool down immediately!" Xun Li threw him into the sea far away without saying a word.

"Hey! You..." After the words fell, the salty sea water penetrated into the throat and nasal cavity.

He Jinluo's eyes went dark, and he couldn't hear any sound in his ears, only his whole head was buzzing.He stretched out his hands and scratched, but couldn't catch anything.

The warm sea water after the sunset reminded him of the touch when Qiluo was deeply breathing beside him. He stopped all movements, and just wanted to fall asleep surrounded by the airflow during deep breathing...

Xun Li frowned, ran into the water to pick him up, and rescued him methodically.

He Jinluo didn't choke on the water for a long time, and woke up coughing water not long after.

"Hey, can you swim?"

He Jinluo didn't speak, but stared blankly at the starry sky, and murmured two words: "Heng Yu."

"If you want to see him, you can live well."

After returning to the house and taking a shower, Xun Li took He Jinluo to the medical room on the second floor, which was densely packed with instruments, for a routine physical examination.

"This needle, I can only feel being touched by something sharp, and it doesn't hurt at all." He Jinluo didn't respond at all when the needle tip pricked his fingertip to draw blood.

Xun Li just gave a soft "hmm" and put the blood-stained glass slide under the electron microscope.

"This is... mine?" He Jinluo looked at the microscope display in shock. On it was his blood structure, but there was something more than normal blood.

"It's clearly yours, and it's clear that your white blood cells have taken 24. As long as they're peacefully co-existing and your blood cells aren't gobbled up by 24, you're healthy."

"This, I know it." He Jinluo suddenly pointed to the familiar structure on the microscope display with a blank expression, "The toxin of the ghost mist fungus..."

Xun Li's eyelids flickered imperceptibly, and he quickly switched screens to open a video, then changed the subject: "Look at this."

"can't read."

"On the left is your gene sequence, and on the right is that of a normal person."

"I don't understand!" He Jinluo still said the same thing.

Xun Li chuckled: "You have one more pair of chromosomes than normal humans, and two pairs of chromosomes have mutated. The two mutated pairs are physical changes that tend to be hidden, such as strengthening the toughness of body tissues and accelerating self-healing. It also allows you to have a skin protection mechanism similar to that of an invisible person. Under normal circumstances, ordinary bullets cannot penetrate your skin, but when you voluntarily and your nerves are completely relaxed, a blade can cut through it. Of course, it takes a lot of time. Great strength."

After hearing these words, He Jinluo noticed that after waking up and adapting to his physical condition, in addition to greatly improving his sensitivity to external things, he can now clearly feel the condition of every part of his body, every tendon. The activity state of every muscle.When he calms down, he can even feel the subtle interaction between synapses and neurons. He can completely relax or put any part of his body on alert.

Amazing!

He Jinluo didn't immerse himself in this wonderful experience for long, and Xun Li soon spoke again.

"The extra pair is Qi Wenfei's masterpiece, allowing you to overcome the side effects of toxins including ghost fog bacteria."

"Then...then am I still human?"

"From a purely biological point of view, no longer."

That's true, it's just too much to ask.He Jinluo lowered his head.

"Don't be so nervous, as long as you don't have children, such a change will only benefit you and not harm you."

He Jinluo curled his lips awkwardly. Although he really didn't need to think about this issue, he couldn't help asking: "Can I not have children?"

Xun Li squinted his eyes and looked at him: "Do you still want children?"

He Jinluo's face turned red: "I'm not too curious about my own affairs, right?"

Xun Li smiled jokingly: "I don't know if you are still fertile, but even if you are, you don't know what kind of monster you will be born with. So you'd better not have this idea."

"how about you?"

When Xun Li heard this question, he looked at him ambiguously.

He Jinluo wanted to slap himself: "I mean, are you still human? No, what about your genetic sequence?"

"I'm a little more human than you, I just have a pair of chromosomal mutations."

"So I'm more of a monster than you are."

"Go and look in the mirror. You are handsome and handsome with nose and eyes. How can you look like a monster?"

He Jinluo pursed his lips: "Then you mean, since your adoptive father, this experiment has been using the hermit's genes?"

"Yes." Xun Li noticed some strangeness in He Jinluo's expression, "Don't think too much, when this experiment started, there was a hermit in the team, and he provided the samples. The kind of thing that Gu Zhanqin did, I Dad can't do it."

"You clearly know, why didn't you stop Gu Zhanqin?"

"Don't look at me with such eyes, I know, I am a pervert in your eyes, but I am not as good as Gu Zhanqin in terms of madness."

He Jinluo began to breathe rapidly, and his face showed a sullen expression.

Xun Li's eyelids flickered twice: "By the time I knew it, things were irreparable. I formally contacted Gu Zhanqin after the laboratory was moved to the 'Breaking the Enemy'. Apart from the experimental equipment and materials, he only had two Personal human assistants and Qi Wenfei, there is no hidden person, and I only heard about those things later."

"Those things? Which things?"

"The ones on the hard drive..."

"Why do you still help him when you know?" He Jinluo almost shouted this sentence.
