Chapter 75
Cai Zhi also hurriedly stepped forward, checked the wooden floor, and then looked at Ding Yan’s glowing fist, his face full of shock: “You have also mutated p>
Old Ma couldn’t help but sit up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, it pulled at his wound, causing him to let out a cry and lie back down.
Granny Li quickly held him up: “Oh no, why are you so excited, Xiaoding, why didn’t you greet us before doing this? The floor was just fine, and now it’s damaged, it’s going to be hard to clean p>
Her focus was actually on the floor.
After all, she had lived on the streets before, and having a room to stay in, Granny Li took great care of it.
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Ding Yan also laughed: “Granny Li, don’t worry about the floor, maybe in the future, all the floors in this building will have to be torn up p>
“What? Why p>
Liang Yuan waved his hand: “Let’s not talk about that now. Ding Yan has already awakened a mutant ability. Her ability can empower any part of her body, making the empowered flesh more explosive and defensively strong p>
Sister Wu couldn’t help but speak up: “How did Xiaoding awaken her mutant ability? Can our Old Cai also awaken p>
Her question resonated with everyone’s thoughts.
Not just Cai Zhi, even Zhao Kai, Old Ma on the bed, and even Yang Mei by Liang Yuan’s side, couldn’t help but look at Ding Yan with burning eyes.
Ding Yan said: “I discussed it with Liang Yuan, and theoretically, anyone who has eaten mutant fish or drank the rainwater, their bodies should have undergone varying degrees of mutation p>
“But the reason why they haven’t awakened the mutant ability is just a lack of a trigger.” Chapters first released on.net
“A trigger p>
Everyone was puzzled, their faces showing confusion.
Liang Yuan continued: “Yes, a trigger p>
“This world is undergoing some kind of evolution that we cannot understand p>
“Not only have the fish in the floods mutated, the wild cats in the building, and people who have eaten the mutant fish, have all mutated p>
“I guess that perhaps all the creatures in the world are rapidly mutating p>
“And we look like we haven’t changed, but in fact, the mutation and evolution have been quietly happening at the cellular and even genetic level p>
“The exact reason, I don’t know, maybe because we have eaten mutant fish, drank the heavenly rainwater, or breathed the current air p>
“In short, there could be many reasons, but that’s not important. What’s important is that we are now in the process of mutation and evolution p>
“So why have only Wang Yanmei and Liu Erlong awakened their mutant abilities so far p>
“I didn’t understand at first, but when Ding Yan awakened her mutant ability yesterday, I came up with a new hypothesis p>
Liang Yuan said word by word, and everyone pricked up their ears, afraid to miss any word.
“Xiaoliang, what conclusion did you reach p>
Old Ma couldn’t help but ask.
Among everyone, he was the oldest and now bedridden.
He was actually very worried because he was now a complete burden.
Ma Guocai, at his age, naturally understood the rules of social operation and the interests between people.
Don’t look at how everyone is happily supporting and cooperating with each other at this stage.
But if he remained such a burden, long-term only consuming food without being able to help the team.
Even if others didn’t say it, they would surely have opinions in their hearts.
Over time, he would soon be excluded from the team’s core and eventually fall behind completely.
So when he heard that everyone might awaken a mutant ability, his heart was the most eager and excited.
If he could awaken a mutant ability, wouldn’t that mean he could recover from his injuries?
Could he, with his old bones, catch up with the team again?
So he was the first to ask, a bit impatiently.
The second excited one was Zhao Kai.
His situation was similar to Old Ma’s, with a broken wrist, which was extremely inconvenient for him.
In this world currently, there wasn’t much sympathy for the disabled.
He was young, not as insightful as Old Ma, but he had a good nature, and always felt that in his current state, he was indeed holding everyone back.
“Brother Liang, how did Sister Ding awaken?” he eagerly asked second.
Liang Yuan saw the anticipation in everyone’s eyes.
He smiled and said: “I think the awakening of mutant abilities has a lot to do with the subjective will and emotions of life p>
“Subjective will p>
“Emotions p>
“What do you mean p>
Everyone was stunned and couldn’t understand.
Liang Yuan patiently explained: “When Liu Erlong mutated and awakened, it was when he was at the brink of death. At that time, I personally saw him mutate, his forehead covered with red scales, greatly increasing his defense and strength p>
“I almost used all my strength to kill him at the last moment p>
“He awakened his mutant ability under the extreme emotional fluctuation of the threat of death p>
“Between life and death, there is great fear p>
“His awakening could be predicted p>
“At first, I thought that perhaps only the ordeal between life and death could bring about that mutant power p>
“But after fighting with Wang Yanmei and going to her house, I found it wasn’t exactly the case p>
“Wang Yanmei did not experience the ordeal of life and death, but she went through the most brutal emotional torture p>
“Her daughter, Liu Chang, was killed in front of her, and she was greatly stimulated, awakening her mutant ability p>
As Liang Yuan spoke, he recounted the situation he saw at Wang Yanmei’s house.
Everyone, shocked and angry, couldn’t help but believe more in Liang Yuan’s hypothesis.
