26: Chapter 26 Insane Improvement! A True Man with Physique Exceeding 100!

The 18th to the 22nd day.

A full five days.

Lin Yuan spent every day crazily drinking d-grade mineral water.

From morning to night.

Almost without stopping.

Bottle after bottle.

It was as if he had become addicted to it.

Every morning when he woke up, the first thing he did was drink water.

When resting during the day, he drank water.

Before going to sleep at night, he still drank water.

He could clearly feel his body getting stronger bit by bit.

His strength was increasing.

His speed was improving.

His reflexes were becoming faster.

This feeling...

It was too great!

It was addictive!

Lin Yuan wished he could drink water 24 hours a day.

Unfortunately, when he drank his 100th bottle, Lin Yuan's body developed a rejection.

Lin Yuan asked the system for the reason.

The system's answer was very simple: It was a human gene issue; only higher-level materials could solve it.

Lin Yuan didn't mind this.

100 bottles a day was already enough.

Each bottle increased his physique by 0.1, so 100 bottles meant 10 points.

Five days meant 50 points!

This rate of improvement was already heaven-defying.

The only pity was that he couldn't drink water infinitely.

...

The 22nd to the 27th day.

Lin Yuan continued to crazily drink d-grade mineral water.

100 bottles every day.

Not a single bottle less.

His physique was improving rapidly.

58.1... 78.1... 88.1... 98.1...

On the morning of the 27th day, Lin Yuan opened his eyes and checked the system interface.

【Physique: 108.1】

From 8.1 to 108.1.

In ten days, he had increased his physique by a full 100 points!

Lin Yuan clenched his fist.

He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within his hand.

He stood up and walked to the wall.

He took a deep breath.

Then—

"Bang!"

He smashed his fist against the wall.

Instantly!

The entire wall trembled violently!

A huge dent, ten centimeters deep, appeared on the wall!

The surrounding concrete cracks spread out like a spider web!

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Now, he was an existence beyond humanity.

With a casual punch, he could smash through a concrete wall.

If he were dealing with an ordinary person...

A single punch could explode a skull.

Lin Yuan was ecstatic.

In ten days, he had gone from a weakling with a physique of only 8 to a superman with a physique of over 100.

This rate of improvement was simply heaven-defying.

Moreover, he could continue to get stronger.

As long as he kept drinking d-grade mineral water, his physique could improve infinitely.

200, 300, 400...

Or even higher!

Lin Yuan turned around, just about to return to the bedside.

Just then—

"Boom!!"

A loud noise!

The window suddenly shattered!

Countless glass shards splashed everywhere!

A thick vine lunged in from outside the window!

The vine was dark green, covered with dense spikes, and exuded an eerie aura.

This was an evolved plant!

And the target of this vine... was exactly Ye Qingyue on the bed!

"Qingyue!"

Ye Qingxue screamed.

Ye Qingyue was still asleep and didn't react at all.

The vine was extremely fast, reaching Ye Qingyue in an instant!

At the critical moment—

"Get out!"

Lin Yuan roared.

His whole body rushed out like a cannonball!

With his physique over 100, his speed was shockingly fast!

He appeared by the bedside almost like a teleportation!

He reached out and grabbed the vine.

Then—

"Bang!!!"

He smashed his fist down!

Terrifying power exploded!

The thick vine was instantly smashed into fragments!

Green sap splattered everywhere!

The remains of the vine fell weakly to the ground, still twitching slightly.

The entire process took less than a second.

Lin Yuan stood by the bed, his entire body exuding a terrifying aura.

He looked out the window, his eyes cold.

Outside the window was a huge vine-type plant.

It was at least three meters tall, with countless vines waving in the air like venomous snakes.

This was an evolved plant.

And its level of evolution was very high.

It could already actively attack humans.

"Damn it..."

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth.

He knew this day would come sooner or later.

But he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Fortunately, his physique had evolved; otherwise, all three of them would surely die!

Evolved plants could now break through windows and enter the room.

This meant...

This place was no longer safe.

"Ahhh!!"

Ye Qingyue was awakened by the loud noise, and seeing the broken window and the vine remains on the floor, she screamed in terror.

Ye Qingxue rushed over and hugged her sister tightly.

"Qingyue! Are you okay?!"

Her voice was trembling.

That scene just now was too thrilling.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan...

If it weren't for Lin Yuan reacting quickly enough...

Her sister would have died.

Ye Qingyue was trembling all over, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Sis... sister... I... I almost..."

She couldn't continue.

The fear of death caused her to completely collapse.

Just then—

"Hiss, hiss, hiss—"

Outside the window, the evolved plant made a weird sound.

More vines crawled in through the broken window!

This time it wasn't just one!

It was five! Ten!

Countless vines surged into the room like venomous snakes!

And what was worse was—

The wall was pierced by the vines!

The concrete wall was punctured by the vines, leaving huge holes!

Howling cold wind poured into the room!

And also...

White snow!

Snow drifted in through the holes!

It fell on the three of them!

"Hiss—"

Lin Yuan gasped.

"Damn it!"

Lin Yuan immediately took three bottles of frost curse antidote from his system space.

He shoved the antidotes into the sisters' hands.

The sisters knew the torture of the snow poison and took it without a word.

He also quickly took one himself.

A familiar cool sensation washed over his whole body.

The snow poison was suppressed.

Lin Yuan finally understood that this antidote couldn't completely solve the snow poison.

Because he had taken this antidote before, but when he touched the snow, he could still sensitively feel that coldness.

Perhaps only by increasing his affinity with Ye Qingxue would he have a chance to permanently solve this annoying problem.

Lin Yuan didn't dare to think about it; it was so difficult even for him with a system.

Ordinary survivors would likely be even more powerless to resist.

But now was not the time to think about this.

The crisis hadn't been resolved yet.

Those vines were still continuously surging into the room!

Lin Yuan looked at these vines, his eyes turning cold.

"Since you've come..."

"Then all of you stay here!"

He stepped forward.

Facing the countless incoming vines.

Then—

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

Every punch carried terrifying power!

Every punch could smash a vine!

With his physique over 100, his strength had reached a superhuman level!

These evolved plant vines were like paper in front of him!

He could easily smash them!

Green sap splattered everywhere!

The remains of the vines piled up on the floor!

In less than a minute, all the vines that had surged into the room were smashed into fragments by Lin Yuan.

The evolved plant outside the window seemed to realize the danger too.

It retracted all its vines and quickly fled.

Lin Yuan stood by the window, watching the figure of the evolved plant fleeing.

He didn't chase after it.

Because protecting the sisters was more important.

He turned around and looked at the two sisters on the bed.

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue were hugging each other tightly, trembling all over.

The look in their eyes as they watched Lin Yuan...

was full of shock.

Full of awe.

And also... a hint of unspeakable admiration?

The scene just now was too shocking.

Lin Yuan smashed the vines with one punch.

Dozens of punches smashed all the invading evolved plants.

That kind of terrifying power...

That kind of absolute strength...

made them realize for the first time.

Lin Yuan was no longer an ordinary person.

He was also... their only reliance.

...

During the day, Lin Yuan used wooden boards to temporarily seal the window and the holes in the wall.

Although it couldn't completely block the cold wind, it could at least reduce the intrusion of snow.

The sisters sat on the bed, still not having recovered from the morning's fright.

Ye Qingyue hugged her sister tightly, her eyes still filled with lingering fear.

"Sister... I... I almost died..."

Her voice was trembling.

"If it weren't for Brother Lin Yuan... I would have..."

Ye Qingxue hugged her sister, tears falling silently.

She would never forget that scene just now.

That vine was less than ten centimeters away from her sister's head.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan...

If it weren't for Lin Yuan intervening in time...

Her sister would have really died.

Ye Qingxue turned to look at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was checking the window sealing, his back to them.

That back, at this moment, appeared incomparably tall.

Incomparably reliable.

Ye Qingxue bit her lip.

She suddenly realized.

Her opinion of Lin Yuan...

was wrong.

Very wrong.

She had always regarded Lin Yuan as a devil.

As a bad man who forced them and humiliated them.

But today... Today Lin Yuan proved with his actions.

He not only had the ability to protect them.

Moreover, he was truly already a very good man.

In the Apocalypse, Ye Qingxue knew very well.

If their sisters fell into the hands of other men, they would probably be treated as toys and cargo...

And also that kind of very brutal torture.

Although Lin Yuan also had the former behavior, at least Lin Yuan wasn't rough and was quite gentle to them...

Thinking this way, Ye Qingxue's mentality underwent a slight change.

The look she gave Lin Yuan no longer had the initial resistance.

If Lin Yuan were really a devil.

He could have just stood by and watched.

Let her sister be killed by the vines.

That way, he would have one less "burden".

But he didn't.

He rushed out at the first moment.

Saved her sister with the fastest speed.

And gave them the antidote to prevent the snow poison from eroding them.

A person like this...

Is he really a devil?

Ye Qingxue didn't know.

She only knew... she owed Lin Yuan a life.

No... it was two lives.

Her own life, and her sister's life.

Both were saved by Lin Yuan.

Ye Qingxue took a deep breath and stood up.

She walked behind Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan..."

She called softly.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to call Lin Yuan by name.

Not "you".

Not "that man".

But... Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan turned around and looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Qingxue bit her lip.

Then, she bowed deeply.

"Thank you... for saving Qingyue..."

Her voice was very soft, but very sincere.

"If it weren't for you... she would have..."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxue's tears fell again.

"Thank you..."

Lin Yuan looked at her, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

This was the first time Ye Qingxue... had said thank you to him.

"You're welcome."

Lin Yuan said calmly.

"You are my people now, and I have a responsibility to protect you."

Ye Qingxue raised her head and looked at Lin Yuan.

That look... was no longer the hatred and resistance from before.

But... complex.

There was gratitude.

There was guilt.

And also... a hint of unspeakable reliance?

Ye Qingxue suddenly realized.

In this Apocalypse, being able to survive was the most important thing.

And Lin Yuan...

was the only hope for them to survive.

She looked at Lin Yuan's strong body.

Recalling the scene where he smashed the vine with one punch just now.

That kind of terrifying power...

That kind of absolute strength...

made her feel a sense of security for the first time.

Women admire strength.

This is human nature.

Especially in this crisis-ridden Apocalypse.

A strong man means the hope of survival.

Ye Qingxue bit her lip.

She suddenly discovered...

Her attitude towards Lin Yuan...

was really changing.

Ye Qingxue knew...

She could no longer resist Lin Yuan like before.

Because she owed him...

"Lin Yuan..."

Ye Qingxue said in a low voice.

"From now on... I will cooperate with you well..."

"I won't... won't resist anymore..."

After saying this, Ye Qingxue felt her defenses collapse completely.

Her beautiful face turned red instantly.

It didn't fit her ice-beauty personality at all.

At this moment, Ye Qingxue felt a hint of relief.

At least, she didn't have to struggle anymore.

She didn't have to be in pain anymore.

Since she couldn't escape.

Since Lin Yuan could really protect them.

Then... why not accept it?

Lin Yuan looked at Ye Qingxue, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Finally.

Finally, it had reached this step.

Ye Qingxue had finally yielded.

Not forced to yield by him.

But yielding willingly.

This sneak attack by the evolved plant.

Although it was a crisis.

But it was also an opportunity.

It let Ye Qingxue see his strength.

It made her realize that following him was the only way to survive.

Thus, Lin Yuan walked up to Ye Qingxue.

Reached out and touched her head.

"Very good."

He said calmly.

"From now on, follow me well."

"I will protect you."

Ye Qingxue nodded.

In the following days, the sisters' attitude towards Lin Yuan underwent a huge change.

Ye Qingyue already relied on Lin Yuan very much.

After this crisis, she admired Lin Yuan even more.

"Brother Lin Yuan is too amazing!"

"Such a thick vine, smashed with one punch!"

"Brother Lin Yuan is simply a superman!"

She said excitedly, her eyes full of admiration.

And Ye Qingxue...

Although not as exaggerated as her sister.

But her attitude had indeed changed.

She was no longer forced and resistant like before.

But... proactive.

Even with a hint of ingratiation?

Lin Yuan looked at Ye Qingxue's change, very satisfied in his heart.
