Chapter 189: Change

Ye Xingchen was half right. The drinks that Qin Tianming drank that day were indeed made from seawater.

This radiation could allow living creatures to evolve. Other than animals and insects, humans were affected as well.

However, humans were different from other animals. After drinking the seawater, people felt that their bodies had changed. They felt stronger and lighter. However, they thought it was because they now had food and water. No one thought about evolution at all.

Moreover, on the first day when they bought seawater, people would drink it directly because they were extremely thirsty. However, later on, it was not like they did not have electricity and pots. Those who could survive until now and could still afford seawater and seafood products were basically people with some ability. They had tools in their hands, so they naturally knew how to filter seawater.

After the seawater was filtered and boiled several times, there was not much radiation left in it. Therefore, even if they had a reaction, it would not be as strong as Qin Tianming’s, who had directly drunk seawater and lived in a place with a suitable temperature.

Ye Xingchen even wondered if the radiation would affect Qin Tianming’s ability.

When Qin Tianming woke up, he was already inside the scanner.

He was stunned for a moment. Looking at the unfamiliar snow-white scenery in front of him and the various lights flashing in front of him, he did not realize where he was at all.

Just as he was about to pinch himself, he realized that his limbs were cuffed.

“Ahhhhh Brother Xingchen, Brother Xingchen!”

Qin Tianming was shocked. He remembered that he suddenly had a headache and didn’t even eat a few mouthfuls before he returned to his room.

He had no recollection of what happened after that. He even thought that some bad people had broken in again. He wondered if some bad people like Mo Guanshan had drugged their food and knocked them out before kidnapping them.

“Sob, sob. Brother Xingchen, where are you? Save me! I’ve been kidnapped! I’m so scared!”

Qin Tianming was just a child after all. This unfamiliar environment and his tightly cuffed limbs all made him feel afraid.

“Alright, alright. Don’t move around. You’ll break my scanner.”

Ye Zhou managed the full-body scanner and pushed Qin Tianming out again.

Ye Xingchen was looking at the pictures on the screen. He had seen these pictures in the medical books he had downloaded when he was bored. However, he was not a professional in this field after all, so he was still a little confused.

Ye Zhou’s colleague, Wang Qin, carefully pointed at the image and explained it to Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia. Compared to Ye Xingchen, Lin Sijia was obviously more interested in these things. After all, Lin Sijia’s medical studies were more or less related to their human body research. Ye Xingchen was just curious because it was his first time seeing it.

“You’re awake?”

Ye Xingchen knew that Qin Tianming had woken up when he was screaming. However, Ye Xingchen didn’t expect Qin Tianming to call his name as soon as he woke up. He really didn’t know that this child was so dependent on him that his first reaction after thinking that he was in danger was to ask for help.

“We’ve seen the test report. You should be fine now. Stop screaming. You weren’t kidnapped.”

Ye Xingchen couldn’t help but feel a little amused. He shouldn’t have let Mo Qi and Qin Tianming read so many novels and watch all those TV series. They were too affected by what they read and saw. They actually thought that they were kidnapped.

Ye Xingchen almost laughed out loud when he saw Qin Tianming coming out of the testing chamber carefully. “Why are you so timid? You can’t handle a scare at all. Alright, it’s fine now. Do you feel weird anywhere?”

Ye Xingchen looked at Qin Tianming, who was walking towards him. Ye Zhou and the others had already told Ye Xingchen that the change in Qin Tianming’s body was similar to those of marine creatures. It could also be considered an evolution.

However, other than evolution, there were still many side effects that they had yet to figure out, so Ye Xingchen did not intend to experience the feeling of evolution himself.

“You drank seawater. There’s something wrong with the seawater, so you’ve evolved, so do you feel that there’s something wrong with your body?”

Ye Xingchen could clearly see that Qin Tianming’s height had increased. He wasn’t as tall as Mo Qi before, but now he was almost as tall as Lin Sijia.

Not only his height, but Qin Tianming’s voice was different too. Ye Xingchen also noticed that his voice had changed.

“Oh… Not now, but I felt so painful just now. My whole body was hurting, especially my head. It hurt especially.”

“Your head? Does it hurt?”

Ye Xingchen keenly captured the keywords in this sentence. It was difficult for him not to remember the crystals that grew out of the heads of those big rats.

“You guys can scan Tianming again, especially his head.”

Ye Xingchen suddenly wondered if Qin Tianming’s body would change after drinking the seawater. Would his brain grow crystals like those rats and octopuses?

The day passed quickly. The results of the scan came out. Everyone looked at the brain scan in silence.

Ye Xingchen’s guess was right. A crystal had indeed grown out of Qin Tianming’s head. The reason why Qin Tianming’s entire body and head were in so much pain was because the crystal was forming in his brain, and the crystal needed to absorb the energy from all over his body.

Looking at the shadow in the picture, Ye Xingchen found that the crystal growing out of Qin Tianming’s head was much bigger than the one cut out of the mouse’s head.

“Could it be that the higher the level of the creature, the larger the crystal that is born?”

“Do you feel different?”

Qin Tianming closed his eyes and thought for a while. When he opened his eyes, he felt lost. “I feel like my body has become lighter.”

Qin Tianming was considered a little chubby because he had been eating and drinking with Qin Gongming since he was young. It was also because of this extremely cold weather that he had lost a lot of weight due to hunger.

However, with Ye Xingchen’s arrival, the problem of food was solved. Even if he controlled his eating, it was obvious that he had gained a lot of weight lately.

Qin Tianming ran a few steps on the spot.

Then, he raised his hand and touched his stomach. His originally bulging stomach had disappeared and turned into a shallow muscle mass.

Then, Qin Tianming was a little stunned. “My… my gut is gone too..”
