Chapter 8, The Role of Blood Diamonds

Before long, Lin Feng awakened from his contemplation; what is most important now is how to enhance the chances of survival

He awkwardly began to adjust the radio channels after plugging in the radio's plug and extending the antenna

Suddenly, the thought crossed his mind that if Lin Qingya's delicate and fragile body were to undergo such a transformation, with muscles bulging all over and staring at a loli's head, a chill immediately surged into his heart, and he dared not continue to think further.

The Demon Realm, demon insects, and parasites have all been reported, so why is there no news about supernatural abilities

How should this be absorbed? Should it be placed on the body like yesterday, or should it come into contact with the skin?

Is it that once one has endured something, there is no need to endure it again? That seems impossible; there must always be a sense of coldness. Could it be that my thoughts were wrong from the very beginning, and that this ability is not a change brought about by the blood diamond?

Lin Feng shook his head again, thinking that relying on the army to rescue himself could only be considered a stroke of luck, and it was simply impossible in the short term. After all, given the significant upheaval occurring now, the army's first priority would undoubtedly be to protect the leaders and researchers, followed by various talents, and only then would it come to someone like him, an ordinary civilian. If one were to reason based on the urgency of rescue, waiting idly for the army to come to the rescue could be regarded as a pipe dream, as the house where Lin Feng resided was merely an ordinary residential area in Wencheng.

Let it be for now; let's try holding it in our hands first and see what happens

Although the blood diamond in his hand had not changed much, Lin Feng still felt that the red glow emanating from the blood diamond was slightly dimmer than before. While he felt a sense of joy, he also harbored some concern, fearing that a similar anomaly to what had occurred last night might happen again

After a few seconds, a weary, aged voice emerged from the radio in the illustrated book.

If this continues to be absorbed, perhaps in the end it will turn into a muscular man, I wonder if it will really burst! Sigh, there is still a serious lack of information! By the way, if Qingya were to become a muscular woman, um, it wouldn't really happen, would it?

All survivors are requested to communicate with each other that the images just intercepted from the satellite reveal that the entire Earth has fallen. These insect-like creatures from another time and space are not only inherently vicious, preying on humans and other living beings, but they also possess various strange abilities. Among them, the greatest threat comes from the most numerous magical insects, which can control human corpses to attack the remaining survivors. Therefore, it is hoped that everyone will securely close their doors and patiently await the rescue of the military

Most of the information in these two reports is already known to him, and there is hardly any useful information. As for actively communicating with more survivors, that is simply a joke. Given the level of human selfishness, who would risk their life to communicate actively

However, after waiting for a long time, his body remained in good condition, and he even felt more energetic than before. This left Lin Feng feeling puzzled about what was going on

Be vigilant in times of peace, be vigilant in times of peace! The most important things now are strength and sufficient information. As for strength, it cannot be increased for the time being; regarding information, it may depend on its availability.

This report is also being replayed continuously, forcing Lin Feng to adjust it once again. However, no matter how he adjusts it, there are still only these two reports.

Lin Feng reflected on the changes in his body, and his thoughts became resolute. He grasped the vessel firmly and poured out the smallest blood diamond.

Do not think that hiding in a house equates to safety and security; this not only requires a sufficient supply of food to sustain oneself, but also a considerable amount of luck. Perhaps the ordinary monstrous humans can be dealt with, but what about the stronger giant insects? It is highly likely that a mere casual encounter could cost them their lives

He stood up and felt the changes in his body; he sensed that his physical fitness had improved once again, though he was unsure by how much. He removed the thick clothing from his upper body, as he no longer feared the cold. Even in winter, it would not be a problem for him to go without clothes. Looking at himself in the mirror, although his muscles were still not very pronounced, their contours were noticeably more defined than in the morning.

With his thoughts firmly set, Lin Feng placed the half-absorbed blood diamond into Lin Qingya's hand, his eyes fixed intently without uttering a word. His right hand shamelessly slipped under the quilt, a smooth sensation rising to his heart, causing a stir within him, all in the name of vigilance

Lin Feng, feeling disheartened, turned off the radio and pondered over the recent report.

Holding a blood diamond the size of a fingernail on his little finger, Lin Feng felt puzzled, unsure of how to absorb the power contained within the blood diamond

Fortunately, after the blood diamond completely disappeared, apart from a slight flush on Lin Qingya's face, there were no signs of her body feeling cold at all. This led Lin Feng to involuntarily dissociate the supernatural ability from the blood diamond, as the two seemed to have no connection whatsoever

Watching Lin Qingya, who was sleeping peacefully, looking much better, Lin Feng couldn't help but fall into a daze, pondering the strange occurrences that had transpired throughout the day. The giant insect that brought destruction, the pain-resistant monster, the blood diamond that enhanced physical strength, the uncontrollable supernatural abilities, and the phones and televisions that had no signal.

It seems that my body is not very sensitive to the cold anymore. If I use that smallest blood and book drill, perhaps there will be no danger! Wealth is sought in risk, so I will give it a try.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Feng resentfully began to adjust the radio once more, when suddenly another piece of news came through

Lin Feng's mind is filled with countless thoughts; the events he is currently experiencing leave him unable to discern the reason behind the emergence of his abilities

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Feng suddenly felt a faint stream of air emanating from the hand gripping the blood diamond, prompting him to open his eyes

As he watched the blood diamond gradually shrink until it was no larger than a mung bean, Lin Feng could not help but place it in Lin Qingya's hand, constantly observing.

With his index finger and thumb pinching the blood diamond, Lin Feng let out a helpless sigh. How he wished he could endlessly absorb this blood diamond; how wonderful that would be. Yet reality is always harsh, and it will not change based on one's will. This situation forced him to place the blood diamond into the pocket of his jacket, his gaze shifting to the old-fashioned radio.

However, if successful, it will enhance Lin Qingya's physical condition, as it is clear how serious a high fever can be in a post-apocalyptic world.

This report primarily concerns the research on those otherworldly entities. For better understanding, we shall temporarily refer to this other world as the Demon Realm, and various insect-like creatures will be collectively termed as Demon Insects. As for the human corpses controlled by the Demon Insects, they will be referred to as Parasites. This report mainly focuses on the research regarding the Parasites. The Parasites exhibit no sensation of pain throughout their bodies, and the point of invasion by the Demon Insects is located in the central part of the human brain, where they control the human nervous system. This enables them to manipulate the corpses; as long as the head remains intact, they can continue to survive. In other words, their vital point is the head, and severing it is sufficient. Furthermore, these Parasites possess strength that surpasses that of the humans they once were. We have discovered that the blood of the Parasites contains no active factors, which is even more astonishing as all these active factors have converged in the heart, forming a diamond-like structure. This is a blood diamond formed from coagulated blood, which can be absorbed by living beings, enhancing their strength. This represents a path of evolution for humanity and an opportunity for humans to reclaim their position at the top of the food chain. We hope that all survivors can leverage this to strengthen themselves and increase their chances of survival. We urge all who hear this message to actively disseminate it, so that more survivors may be informed; the future of humanity depends on our continuation.

A channel repeatedly broadcasted a message, causing Lin Feng's expression to become extremely somber. At first, he held some hope, thinking that this disaster had only occurred in Wen Cheng. However, upon hearing this message, all hope in his heart was completely shattered

Do not let Qingya continue to absorb it, I spit! Lin Feng, do you still have a conscience? How can she recover quickly like that? What if something happens to her when I am not by her side? I don't care anymore, even if such changes really occur, surviving in the apocalypse is the most important thing

The half blood diamond began to be slowly absorbed by Lin Qingya, but in the end, only a portion was absorbed, and it ceased to absorb any further. The overall absorption effect turned out to be less than half of Lin Feng's.

Amidst a series of continuous buzzing sounds, the radio finally transmitted a voice, which filled Lin Feng with immense joy, prompting him to lean in and listen attentively

"The following is a research report hastily prepared overnight by Dr. Wang. I ask all survivors to listen carefully!"

Although it was strange, Lin Feng did not sense any of the imagined transformations in Lin Qingya's and the library's bodies. Instead, her figure became even more perfect, with the curves where they should be and the protrusions more pronounced. He felt a sense of relief in his heart, as a muscular body atop a loli's head would indeed be quite terrifying.

Since the television has no signal, it is even less likely that the computer will have a signal. Alas, there is not a shred of information, which is quite troublesome. I do not know when the army will come to rescue us suffering common people.

In his mind, even a blood diamond the size of a mung bean would likely result in only a minor anomaly, even if a situation like yesterday's were to occur. Moreover, with Lin Feng observing nearby, he would retrieve the blood diamond at the first sign of any irregularity

"Waiting for rescue is nonsense. The territory of the Celestial Empire is so vast; how long will we have to wait!" Lin Feng has never believed in the notion of waiting for rescue. The situation is the same globally; even if there is a rescue, it will certainly prioritize those bloated officials. How long will ordinary citizens have to wait? It's easy to say nice things. Moreover, given the significant losses the military has likely suffered in this upheaval, where would they find the capacity to rescue ordinary citizens.

With a determined heart, Lin Feng once again picked up a blood diamond from the vessel. This blood diamond was the largest among them, nearly twice the size of the one from yesterday. What relieved Lin Feng was that, this time, there were no abnormalities; instead, he absorbed half of it. However, he found that he could no longer continue the absorption, as if his body needed to digest it. This left Lin Feng feeling somewhat frustrated, as he had thought that as long as he had blood diamonds, he could continuously enhance himself.

Holding the blood diamond, Lin Feng looked at it repeatedly, and finally, out of boredom, closed his eyes. He focused his mind and carefully sensed his own body

Upon thinking of this, Lin Feng first nailed a wooden board over the large hole in the iron door, and then carefully carried the machete downstairs.
