What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 229 Chasing the Power of Lightning

Xiang Kun asked a taxi to take him to the mountainous area on the east side of the city, then got out of the car with the birdcage, found a direction and climbed up the mountain.

The surrounding area is not in the wilderness. It is still within the urban area. There are many buildings on the mountain and below, and several roads have been built. There are roads for cars to go up the mountain, plank roads and stone ladders for tourists to play.

But now it is obvious that the weather is going to change drastically, and the heavy rain is coming, so naturally there are no people on the mountain. And Xiang Kun didn't walk on the main road, he just went to the small road, if he was not afraid that his clothes and shoes would be too torn and it would be inconvenient to take a taxi after he got out, he would have to use his body to "open the road" just like when he was in the Qinling no-man's land up.

Xiang Kun found a relatively rough route to the top of the mountain by himself. There was no road passing here, weeds were overgrown, and there was no view.

He found a random tree and climbed up, hung up the birdcage, and prepared to come back to get it when he was about to leave.

But after getting down from the tree, he thought for a while, climbed up again, took down the birdcage, and hid it in another place-although the chance is very small, if the tree is struck by lightning, then "Golden Shining" may Too bad luck.

Xiang Kun walked to the side of the mountain, looked at the dark clouds above his head, concentrated his attention, and calculated quickly in his brain.

Now he has subdivided the various environmental elements around him, established multiple cognitive models at the same time, and then gathered them into the large cognitive model of the atmospheric electric field, and felt the changes in the magnetic field and electric field through his own cognitive model .

The strength of the atmospheric electric field is always changing, and there is a big gap between the sunny electric field and this "disturbed weather electric field". In the latter state, it is easier for Xiang Kun to collect relevant data to help him improve the cognitive model of the atmospheric electric field .

With this kind of calculation, even Xiang Kun had already begun to feel his head swell, but now he knew his limits better, so he didn't stop immediately, but tried his best to control the intensity of his thinking and maintain his current state.

The more perfect the cognitive model of the atmospheric electric field is established, the more he can deduce what conditions he needs to imitate the flight of the mutated spider, so as to establish and improve the cognitive model of "Royal Electric Flight".

After retiring over time, Xiang Kun has been able to judge the changes in the atmospheric electric field more and more clearly. His attention is now on a few low-altitude thunderclouds. When the electric field strength is high, the air will be dissociated to form a leading discharge channel—that is, the first step in the generation of lightning.

Of course, Xiang Kun didn't want to "catch the thunder" in the past, he was not a cultivator, he wanted to cross the catastrophe and do the right way.

Ninety percent of the lightning will only explode between the ground and the cloud, and less than ten percent can hit the ground directly.

The average current of these lightnings is 30,000 amperes, and the maximum can even reach 300,000 amperes.

The temperature generated at the moment of hitting the ground can be as high as 30,000 degrees Celsius. Xiang Kun does not have such a strong heat resistance. On the contrary, according to previous experiments, this kind of high temperature damage is more fatal to him than physical damage.

Those humans who survived after being struck by lightning were basically not directly struck by lightning, but struck from the side.

Xiang Kun focused his attention on the occurrence of thunder and lightning, and constantly improved his cognitive model.

According to Xiang Kun's previous experience of witnessing the flight of the "mutated spider" and the memory fragments of the "mutated spider"'s partial flight, it has a way to use the strong electric field changes when lightning occurs to "charge" itself, gaining Stronger flying ability.

But this way of "recharging" is not to run directly to be struck by lightning.

If the "mutated spider" is compared to a boat, and "flying" means sailing on water, then the electric field in thunder and lightning weather is a deeper water depth, which can support the draft of the boat, but on sunny days, the water volume is insufficient. It's easy to run aground.

The "charging" after the lightning phenomenon is equivalent to adding a power system to the ship, so that it can travel better in the channel. But enough water depth is still a prerequisite for sailing.

When a bolt of lightning lit up in the clouds and thunder rumbled, Xiang Kun's pupils gradually became darker.

His vision was dark, as if his eyes were covered, but there were countless small dots changing and arranged in the darkness. This is not the night vision mode, nor is it the infrared thermal imaging mode. It was a picture that Xiang Kun himself had never seen before, but he didn't feel "blind" at all. He could still accurately judge his position and the surrounding situation through the countless small dots. More importantly, He can now relatively clearly feel the movement trend of a large number of electric charges around him, and feel the specific changes in the electric field in the distant clouds.

After more than a second, Xiang Kun's sight was restored, and he quickly looked around. After seeing a lake at the bottom of the diagonally opposite mountain wall, he started to back away, leaving a space of about six or seven for himself. Then he took out the mobile phone from his pocket and threw it in the grass next to him. This is his new Redmi note 8pro, and he didn’t want to wait until it broke or entered the water.

Then he lowered his center of gravity slightly and began to prepare.

A few minutes later, through his cognitive model, Xiang Kun grasped the opportunity and began to run and rush forward with all his strength.

The electric dragon surged in the clouds, and amidst the rumbling thunder, the lightning split the air according to the established route and disappeared in midair.

Almost at the same time it disappeared, Xiang Kun jumped out of the mountain wall.

"Hey!" There was a loud noise, and his whole body turned into a ball of light, which was thrown up more than one meter as if against gravity, and then continued to fall down.

But because of this change, he no longer went to the lake in the intended direction.

...

"What are you looking at? Hurry up, it's going to rain soon, and we didn't bring an umbrella!"

A woman in her thirties was carrying a child's schoolbag and walked quickly on the stone-paved path. When she found her son who was following her, she stopped and immediately turned her head to urge her.

"Over there, someone seems to have jumped off a cliff over there..." A boy who seemed to be in the third or fourth grade of primary school murmured looking into the distance.

The woman followed her son's line of sight, saw the cliff over there, frowned and said, "Why would someone jump off the cliff over there? Are you stupid?"

One is that the cliff over there is not high from the ground, and the other is that the bottom is either a lake or a dense forest. To be honest, it is not easy to fall directly to death when you jump off, but it is a high probability that you will be half dead and paralyzed. No one will be so stupid If you want to jump off a cliff, run here to jump. And in the direction the son was looking at, there was no way to go up there, so how could anyone go there? Her husband works in the scenic spot here, so he knows that the few mountains here are short mountains, and there has never been a person who can't think of jumping over the cliff, and there are quite a few people who stumbled and fell down the mountain.

The woman originally guessed whether someone had stumbled and fell down the mountain, and she wanted to ask a few more questions in detail to confirm whether she should call the police and notify the management of the scenic spot, but her son's next sentence made her furious.

"That person seems to have turned into a ball of fire, no, it turned into a ball of light, no, it turned into a sun and flew away." The boy frowned and changed words a few times before finding what he thought was an accurate description.

But then, his mother grabbed his ear and pulled him over: "Did you use your father's mobile phone to peek at the Internet again?! And read those books about soaring in the daylight and fighting against horses? It's okay." The ball, the sun? No wonder your exams are getting worse and worse these few times, no wonder your class teacher said that you often didn’t finish your homework at the parent-teacher meeting!!"

...

Xiang Kun was actually far away from the mother and child. He was lying motionless on the ground at this time, with a lot of broken branches and leaves that he brought down around him.

Originally, he expected to fall in the small lake, but he didn't expect that after being "charged" in mid-air, he could fly so far, and fell directly outside the lake.

Fortunately, there were also trees on the edge of the lake. Xiang Kun's falling tendency was affected after being surrounded by the light ball. Instead of going down, he was thrown forward. With the buffer of the branches, he didn't fall too hard.

Xiang Kun lay on the ground for a few minutes, waiting for his body to heal itself, but also recalling the feeling that his whole body had condensed into a ball of light just now.

After the light cluster appeared and wrapped him up for a short while, it was immediately dragged down by his weight, obviously unable to carry his weight and support him to fly, and at the same time, he couldn't feel how to actively condense the light. method of grouping and controlling direction.

The ball of light gave him the feeling that after a numb scalp, it condensed out by itself, just like his own shadow, and there was no way to have a specific perception.

Xiang Kun is now equivalent to sailing a boat out to sea, but the boat sank before leaving the dock...

But he was very happy in his heart, after all, he was allowed to touch the boat and see the sea.

Although he knew that there was still a long way to go before he could really fly, but now Xiang Kun at least knew that he did have the ability to fly from the blood of the "mutated spider". It's just that if you want to fully integrate this ability into yourself and let yourself fly, you still need to evolve and improve a lot, and you need to continue to improve the cognitive model of "Royal Flight".

After recovering, Xiang Kun got up and climbed back to the previous mountain directly along the nearest route.

After surfing in the no-man's land in the Qinling Mountains, Xiang Kun is now more accustomed to being in the mountains and forests, climbing a short mountain is more agile than a monkey.

Returning to the place where he jumped off the mountain before, Xiang Kun found exactly where he threw his phone, but just as he leaned over to pick it up, his fingers tingled, and then the phone exploded with a bang of sparks, and he threw it out subconsciously.

"Wow, what a big trough!"

Xiang Kun shook his hand, looked at his scorched fingers, and then at the cell phone that was obviously gg not far away, wanting to cry but not crying.

Obviously, there is still a large amount of charge around his body that has not been released.

Although the phone was useless, Xiang Kun couldn't just leave it here. After a while, after making sure that it wouldn't burn, he picked it up and put it in his pocket, and then went to find Jin Xingshan again.

Xiang Kun's clothes are dirty and torn. If he takes a taxi directly, he will probably be rejected. Fortunately, this is not a remote mountainous area, so he plans to find a place to change on foot first.

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the light rain, Xiang Kun walked into a shopping mall.

"Huh? I'm disconnected, what the hell, no signal!"

"Ha! Character issues... Uh, I also fell..."

"Hey, let you use Apple, I, Huawei, will... huh? I lost it too?"

"Okay, the Internet is back."

After walking in from the gate of the shopping mall, Xiang Kun kept hearing similar voices. People within 2 meters of him in a straight-line distance would lose their mobile phone signal immediately after he passed by, whether it was a 4G signal or a WIFI signal. He's like a moving distraction.

He is not surprised by this, he is very clear that he is still in the "sequelae" left by the "light group". When he was walking on the road before, the street lamps on both sides even dimmed when he passed by. Blinking continuously.

It should be a few hours later, and the effect of the "charging" of the light cluster will completely disappear.

For the time being, he hasn't been able to find a way to control this ability, but just like the boat has been bought and placed there, it will be a matter of time before he learns how to drive it.

Judging from some of the characteristics that have been shown, Xiang Kun is very sure that in his body, this ability will definitely not be like that "mutated spider", which can only "take off" in thunderstorms, or by jumping off a cliff. Time to glide. In human society, he can derive more related abilities. In terms of practicality and influence, these abilities are likely to be more powerful than flying.

Fortunately, Xiang Kun's phone broke twice before, so now he doesn't dare to go out without cash, otherwise his phone will be gg, and he will have no money to buy the ticket and change of clothes to go home.

...

"Twenty-seven."

Listening to the mechanical female voice coming from the phone, Little Apple frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

After Xiang Kun left in the afternoon, I chatted with her on wechat at first, discussing some details about the training method of "Put attention", but then there was no response.

She originally thought that Xiang Kun must have fallen asleep on the bus, but counting the time, she should have arrived at the station by now, but there was still no reply.

Little Apple knew Xiang Kun's habits. If he couldn't reply because of something, he would definitely say something to let her know that this chat was over temporarily, and he wouldn't just have no news so directly. If he had fallen asleep in the car before, he would definitely reply when he saw WeChat after arriving.

So Apple guessed that Xiang Kun's phone might be out of battery, and he would reply after he got home to charge it.

Little Apple put down her phone, focused on the few wood carvings she placed on the table, and slowly groped with her hands, imagining the feeling of the afternoon.

Xiang Kun worked so hard in the afternoon to make Little Apple subconsciously feel that the coin is a bit special, and then guide her to use this coin mainly in subsequent exercises, and build this coin by herself. It has magical functions and is a unique identity. Know. Judging by the cognitive model he established for Little Apple, this should be no problem.

But what Xiang Kun didn't expect was that Little Apple did feel that the coin was vaguely different from other coins, but she also had something that she thought was more suitable for her attention - that was the four wood carvings that Xiang Kun had given her before.

Xiang Kun did know Little Apple very well, but he still underestimated the impact on her perception caused by triggering Little Apple's dreams through several wood carvings during this period of time. After all, when she and Xiang Kun discussed these dreams, , basically just mentioned the content of each related dream, and did not involve those wood carvings.

I have dreamed so many times, and in the happy dreams, the image of minions appears every time. And in the dream of studying and learning computer knowledge, I can see one of the three-piece wood carvings every time. So Little Apple has always had a very special impression of these wood carvings. She feels that these wood carvings have some kind of spiritual connection with her, as if they can communicate with her.

But in this case, whether it is to her father who is an associate professor in a university, or to Uncle Xiang who gave her these woodcarvings, she can't say it, because it seems a bit naive.
