Chapter 228 A Sense of Discomfort! (Seeking votes~)

"really!"

"This thunder really does have more than just the power to put people to sleep!"

When Xi Yu had her team investigate, she discovered that all the citizens of Hexie City who had been struck by lightning were asleep.

It appears that all of the body's indicators are normal.

Of course, you already have conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, lower back and leg pain, syphilis, and AIDS.

Thunder, is its only function to strike people to put them to sleep?

What kind of joke is this?

If lightning only has this one function, then the invention and manufacture of lightning rods must have been a lie.

If we imagine it to be a bit more serious, perhaps those people who appear to be sleeping peacefully are suffering the same pain as me, only they don't have the same martial arts will as me!

If I manage to survive, then perhaps very few people will survive in a city ravaged by the devastation.

Thinking about it this way, the captain's disappearance can be considered a good thing, at least the situation he faced was not a disaster that the entire city could not withstand.

I must survive, even if it means rebuilding Hexie City from the ruins!

Thunder, my martial spirit, will stand firm. Stand firm, stand firm, stand firm.
The repeated reconstruction of his body gradually amplified the power of lightning that Xi Yu suffered. With each episode of unconsciousness and awakening, he no longer had the willpower to think.

"Wake up."

Xi Yu felt as if she could hear the captain's voice.

The sound seemed very distant and somewhat indistinct.

It is said that before a person dies, they will hear the calls of their closest loved ones, which allows them to face death peacefully.

So, am I going to die?

"Wake up."

The sound seemed closer to me.

There was a warm feeling, as if I was being picked up.

Is this an attempt to immerse oneself in the gentleness of death?
No, never!

His own martial will absolutely not allow him to be defeated by Thunder.

And
Damn it, I died before I even got to enjoy the pleasures of love!
Absolutely not!

Xi Yu's heart roared and howled, determined to be like a true warrior, even in her final moments—

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you. Go ahead and kill me!"

Xi Yu opened her eyes, saw the light, saw the captain, and felt her inner strength surging forth from her body.
How could I possess such surging internal energy?
No, this is the captain!!!
As everyone knows, unless one is a superhuman in terms of physical enhancement, in terms of physical strength, ordinary superhumans are no match for martial artists!
As a superhuman, if the captain were hit by his own internal force at such close range, he would be seriously injured, if not killed!

Xi Yu subconsciously reversed her internal energy!

Such a reversal of internal energy is extremely difficult and would definitely place an enormous burden on his body.

It's like urinating standing up, and then trying to force the urine back into your body.
Xi Yu was prepared to vomit blood.

It's better for me to cough up blood myself than for the captain to be seriously injured or die.

However, when Xi Yu gathered all her internal energy back into her body, she did not experience any rejection reaction. Instead, she felt a kind of...
Unprecedentedly smooth.

Why are my meridians so wide?

Xi Yu originally thought his meridians were large and wide, but compared to his current body, they were like narrow, winding paths.

How is this going?

Could it be the effect of thunder?

Was the lightning actually helping him, rather than harming his consciousness?

"Are you alright?" the captain asked with concern after seeing Xi Yu wake up.

The captain's voice prompted Xi Yu to voluntarily pull herself out of her introspective state.

Xi Yu immediately realized that he had just released his internal energy, and although the time was very short, his internal strength was still very strong!

"Captain, are you alright?" Xi Yu asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine now."

However, Xi Yu wasn't entirely at ease with the captain's words. Xi Yu took the captain's hand and channeled a little of her inner energy into it.

In the past, when the captain was working overtime late into the night for a long time, Xi Yu had used her internal energy to gently nourish the captain's body.
The main purpose is to remove the blood clots in the captain's body.

However, this time, when Xi Yu channeled her inner energy into the captain's body, she discovered that the captain's body was extremely pure.

This body.
This is absolutely perfect for practicing martial arts!
Is this still my captain?
Could it be as the people in the warehouse said, that perhaps the captain is no longer the captain, and that his soul has been replaced by another force?
"Captain, are you still yourself?" Xi Yu asked cautiously.

After Xi Yu received a sharp rebuke on the head, his serious suspicions faded away.

The captain's aura is too strong.
"Did you get struck by lightning and your brain is damaged?" the captain laughed and scolded.

"No, no, it's that your body, Captain, has changed—no, it's changed drastically! Your body is now perfectly suited for martial arts! You're sure to achieve great things in martial arts!"

At this point, Xi Yu's eyes lit up, wanting the captain to learn his family's martial arts!
In this way, I will become the captain's teacher, and as the teacher, if the captain does something slightly wrong, I can use a ruler to hit his palm!

"At my age, I won't learn martial arts from scratch. Besides, my strength has improved."

As she spoke, Xi Yu sensed a restrained yet profound aura emanating from the captain.

This aura made Xi Yu, a martial artist who could freely generate and release internal energy, tremble.

Moreover, Xi Yu seemed to see a towering, unseen figure behind the captain.

"Captain, who's behind you?"

"On my [Church Prison], a powerful being has been enshrined once again. I believe this being is the legendary deity!"

Xi Yu's eyes widened suddenly.

He thought of the chaos that had befallen River City and the sudden appearance of Thunder. Was it the person the captain had worshipped who had solved River City's troubles?
Xi Yu was also aware of the captain's strength.

If there is an entity within the [Church Prison] that the captain can worship, then the captain's power will gradually gravitate towards that worshipped deity.

But over the years, Xi Yu has never seen anyone whom the captain has taken a liking to and who has been enshrined on the altar.

Therefore, the changes in the captain's body were also due to the influence of the offerings.

Could it be that the captain is worshipping a martial arts master?

Otherwise, how do you explain why the captain's body suddenly became so suitable for practicing martial arts?

No, no, how could a martial artist create thunder throughout the entire city?

Various thoughts flashed through Xi Yu's mind, but she couldn't guess the answer.

However, it's not easy to ask directly about this. If the captain is willing to speak directly, then he will naturally say so.
Huh?
Just as Xi Yu was still pondering, he saw the shadowy figure behind the captain twist and turn. From Xi Yu's perspective...

Lin Hao seemed to step out of the captain's power projection.

Lin Hao's figure seemed to resemble the condensed phantom of the captain.
like.

A ridiculous thought flashed through Xi Yu's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

The person the captain worships could not possibly be Lin Hao. Lin Hao is just a support-type superhuman; how could he possibly have the strength to subdue the captain?
Xi Yu greeted Lin Hao.

"Lin Hao, your milk tea was a great help."

"It should."

Xi Yu did not sense any special power fluctuations within Lin Hao's body.

They didn't feel any pressure from Lin Hao.

It shouldn't be Lin Hao. It's just that Lin Hao walked out from a slightly wrong angle, giving him a visual illusion.

Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this. We need to update the captain on the situation in Riverscrab City; the safety of Riverscrab City is the most important thing.

"Captain, there was thunder outside just now!"

“I know that the lightning is harmless to our River City.”

The captain withdrew his power, opened the door, and let Xi Yu and Lin Hao return to his office.

“Xi Yu, there is something very important for our River City that I need to tell you.”

"Captain, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

As soon as Xi Yu finished speaking, she felt something was off.
What is this sense of incongruity?

The incongruity stems from the fact that Lin Hao, an extraordinary individual from another city, is able to sit in the captain's office and listen to a matter that is extremely important to River City!
