Chapter 16: The Handsome Guy with a Charming Physique

Miracles do not only favor humanity.

In the few days approaching May 1st, several incredible bloody incidents occurred one after another in various places, finally tearing away the hands of many who were covering their eyes, forcing them to face this unprecedented upheaval, which then spread rapidly across the entire country.

At the Northeast Wildlife Park, a Siberian tiger suddenly attacked and overturned an SUV, tearing through the car's steel plating as if it were cloth, biting the people inside to death one by one, and continuing to attack the next vehicle until a large number of police officers arrived upon hearing the news, at which point it turned and fled, disappearing without a trace after entering the Xinganling region.

According to post-incident statistics, a total of four vehicles were attacked, 17 people died, and not a single person survived.

Coincidentally, at a themed aquarium in Senhai, a massive North Pole bear swiped and shattered thick acrylic glass, broke out from within, slaughtered wantonly in the crowded aquarium, and later fled to the downtown area, where it was shot dead by numerous arriving SWAT officers.

Due to the narrow space and large number of tourists in the aquarium, the large-scale panic and stampede caused by the sudden incident became the factor that led to even more deaths; post-incident statistics showed the death toll had already exceeded 200, with over 300 injured.

As for the encirclement battle in the downtown area, according to leaked video footage, this North Pole bear persisted for about five minutes under the direct fire of several sniper rifles and countless submachine guns before collapsing from exhaustion due to blood loss, and it did not die immediately at that time.

Besides animals, man-made bloody incidents also continued to erupt during these few days. Various crimes showed a high growth trend; among the perpetrators were not only those who had undergone Awakening and gained Superpower, but also many ordinary people stirring up trouble. Local police forces were gradually stretched thin and unable to cope, so large numbers of joint military and police units began to be dispatched, patrolling the streets frequently.

However, there are always remote places in every corner of the world that order cannot reach; in those remote plateaus or mountainous areas, mutated animals cause trouble almost every day, and bloody incidents are staged every day, so many that the media can no longer report them all.

The situation in countries around the world is much the same; some nations already mired in war and poverty have once again triggered waves of refugees, surging toward nearby powerful nations to seek asylum.

Facing various unprecedented situations, the elite think tanks of various countries are, for the first time, unable to predict the direction of human society.

"... Our city has once again banned three circuses today, two zoos also closed their doors and stopped operations yesterday, and the Giant Panda Breeding Base will also stop receiving tourists in the coming days, reports Rongcheng Television Station."

Watching the news on TV, Bai Guagua was a bit unhappy: "Why won't they let people see the giant pandas? Such cute guys, it's impossible for them to eat people."

Zhang Wei felt it necessary to correct the little girl, saying: "A giant panda is a bear, not a cat. You cannot be deceived by its appearance, you know? Many guys who look harmless to humans and animals are actually the type to eat people without spitting out the bones."

Bai Guagua glanced at him sideways: "Like you?"

Hiss... This child seems to have a lot of opinions about me?

Zhang Wei felt a toothache and said: "Since that's the case, I'll go out to buy food alone tomorrow, and you can just stay home and watch Peppa Pig."

I knew you'd use food to threaten me! I knew it...

Bai Guagua curled her lips: "Let me tell you, there's a big wolf dog nearby. If it also becomes a spirit, you won't be able to see me when you come back, at most just a pile of bones."

Zhang Wei touched her watermelon-cut hair and said with a smile: "Not bad, I believe if you two faced off, that dog would definitely be eaten by you until only a pile of bones remained. Dog meat is so nourishing."

Speaking of strength, Bai Guagua's recent cultivation has made quite a bit of progress. She reports her progress and feelings to Zhang Wei every day, such as lighting up two stars after entering the state the day before yesterday, her strength increasing again, feeling a sense of lightness when walking, and being able to step up seven or eight stairs in one stride at full effort.

As for how much her strength has increased or how many kilograms she can exert in a full-force strike, Zhang Wei covered his ears and indicated he wasn't listening... It is never a pleasant thing when one's own cute little girl is gradually developing into a dinosaur while one remains at a primitive stage.

But fortunately, at least he doesn't have to worry about her encountering any danger on the way to school.

For some time now, various information from all over the world has been growing explosively on the internet. If netizens were mostly excited about human mutation, or evolution, in the past, then the changes coming from alien species are heart-palpitating.

Never mind tigers in the zoo eating people; even slightly smaller fishing boats have been overturned by creatures in the sea.

Like the Kraken of the deep sea depicted on the scrolls of Norse mythology, thick, overwhelming tentacles reached out from the seabed, wrapping around masts and sails, with all the sailors becoming food in its mouth, turning into wandering ghosts on the ocean.

In April 2018, a small whaling ship from RB sank in the Antarctic waters. Footage filmed and released by a crew member before his death showed they encountered an attack similar to the content above.

The video spread rapidly, and everyone who witnessed its content felt deeply chilled, as if it were a monster from the once-popular thriller movie "Deep Rising." And the joint search fleets dispatched by various countries have still not found the whereabouts of that super-giant squid-like creature.

Perhaps the world in the eyes of a young girl is magical in itself. After seeing this video, Bai Guagua's reaction was not as intense as others; she just said in surprise: "What would this taste like if it were made into teppanyaki squid skewers?"

Zhang Wei:...

Silently closing the video, he opened the drift bottle feature in WeChat, typed a sentence, and threw it out:

"Brother, I want..."

Before long, a reply was received in the bottle: "Want what?"

Zhang Wei: Want to make a friend.

The other party: Why would I make friends with you? I'm a warm guy, and I look pretty good too!

Zhang Wei: Brother, I'm trying to find a girlfriend, you damn gay guy, why are you joining in the fun? Get lost!

The other party was directly stunned; would it kill you to be clearer?

Zhang Wei recovered some health, stretched comfortably, and then sent out another bottle.

"It's late at night, is there any handsome guy with abs and a V-taper, with a strong and charming physique?"

The other party: Yes! I am the kind you are looking for!

Zhang Wei: Uh-huh, can you...

The other party: I can!

Zhang Wei: Agreeing so readily? I haven't even said what the requirement is yet.

The other party: Hehe, I can agree to anything a beauty asks for!

Zhang Wei:... Can you teach me how to build muscle? I want to pick up girls.

The other party was instantly hit with a face full of blood; you're doing this on purpose, right? Huh? It's definitely on purpose, right??

Absorbed Long Yongheng's Resentment, +566.

Seeing this value, Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, feeling a pleasant surprise: This guy is actually an Awakened.

From this, he thought that it would be great if there were a website like "Awakened Home" on the internet.

That would truly be one worth two... no, one worth ten!
