NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8: Try passive skills
Hearing El's words, Tian Li's eyes sparkled even more thirsty for curiosity. "Eh? What is it, explain it to me."
"Sit cross-legged, be quiet, calm your mind and feel where the virus energy is centered. It will be painful, but you just have to endure it." After saying that, El got up from the floor and saw an empty chair.
Before that, El placed a bag containing 6 bottles of Molotov cocktails on the floor nearby. Then, he walked to where the empty chair was.
After El arrived, she sat back and closed her eyelids.
Tian Li gave El a flat look, Tian Li didn't understand the man's way of thinking anymore. Tian Li once wanted to beat him up and yell at him, but she returned it deeply.
Feeling like she had no choice but to continue being bored, Tian Li followed the instructions El gave, about the viral energy breathing technique he said.
Sitting cross-legged, Tian Li calmed has mind and began to feel some sort of viral energy in has body that was extremely painful. Slowly, unique tattoos began to form on the surface of his skin.
Apparently, the red-colored unique tattoos formed emitted smoke and traveled all over the skin on has body. El had his eyelids open, watching from the moment Tian Li started the breathing technique.
"It really doesn't exist in the original story, Tian Li is so quick to gather virus energy in has body." El muttered with a surprised expression.
Finally, 40 minutes passed quite quickly. El had been watching Tian Li from the beginning. If Tian Li suddenly experienced a mutation, El would act quickly to resuscitate him.
However, it had been 40 minutes and there was no sign that Tian Li would mutate due to over-practicing the virus breathing method.
"It seems Tian Li's physique is indeed very special. But, more importantly, my stamina is also fully recovered." El said, closing his left eyelid.
When he opened his left eyelid again, one by one tomes appeared in his eyeball like water dripping on a pond, creating ripples. The tomes sprung up and rotated one by one, forming the orbits of planets in the solar system, until there were 6 tomes in total.
El picked up his bag of six Molotov cocktails and turned to leave the girl. However, after just one step, his hand was caught by someone holding it.
Turning his head, El saw Tian Li wearing a sad and upset expression. All the tattoos on the surface of has skin disappeared, a sign of has inactivity and began practicing breathing method.
Frowning, El gave Tian Li a sharp look. Receiving that horrifying gaze, especially from El's left eye which she really thought was very strange, Tian Li felt depressed.
Gulping, Tian Li dared to ask even though he was afraid. "Villain, where are you going? Don't leave me." Tian Li said, holding back the trembling of his body.
El let out a breath. "I only came to this place to rest for a while. After recovering, I will return to slaughtering infected and return to the headquarters. What's wrong? Want to come?"
"Y-yes, I'm coming!" Tian Li replied quickly.
"The place is dangerous, are you sure you want to come?" El asked again.
Seeing that the little girl's body looked trembling El understood Tian Li was still afraid. But she was more afraid of being left alone, like a child. El thought it was possible that she was mentally like a child because her body was shrinking, even though she was 20 years old.
Bending over, El carried Tian Li in a Princess Carry style. This makes her face blush with embarrassment. No longer able to bear the embarrassment, Tian Li covered her face with both hands.
Question marks sprung up in El's mind seeing the girl's shy response. Then, El smiled warmly. Incidentally, Tian Li saw El smiling between the fingers covering her face.
The blush on her face was getting redder like a ripe tomato, Tian Li was mesmerized by El's good looks. Although El rarely smiled, his face was stiff and flat.
Actually El is very handsome, people often mistake El for having many ex-girlfriends. In fact, El never been in a relationship at all. El is single, but proud to be single.
***
On the dark, poorly lit, deserted sidewalk, there were infected corpses scattered around, as far as the eye could see. In that place, El was carrying Tian Li in a princess carry style.
At that moment, El ran very fast. El moved like the wind was blowing lightly.
It was not without reason that El was running, carrying Tian Li in front of his and a bag containing 6 bottles of molotovs. The reason was simple, El just wanted to know the limit of his physical strength after getting the Swordsman skill.
El suddenly jumped towards a white car that was parked carelessly on the edge of the sidewalk. Then, El jumped again, up to 5 meters away, landing right on the roof of another car.
Tian Li was shocked and astonished as El ran around, carrying him and jumping from one car roof to another. "Villain, what are you doing!" said Tian Li in shock.
"Hn." El replied simply.
"What does hn mean? Answer correctly!" said Tian Li who was getting angry.
Before long, El finally stopped the action, running around holding Tian Li and jumping from the roof of a car to another car.
Then, El lowered Tian Li slowly and walked away from him.
Raising has right hand, Tian Li clenched it tightly. Tian Li's facial expression was seen while being upset, within hss eyes were burning angry emotions. "That damn villain, I really want to beat him up!"
Then, Tian Li ran quickly to catch up with him. However, just as she was about to arrive and was having thoughts of getting ahead of El, El's right hand suddenly reached out, restraining Tian Li from running ahead of him.
Annoyed, Tian Li said, "Hey, what's wrong? You don't want me to precede you? You damn villain!"
"Shut up." El said the sentence without turning his head with a tone of voice as cold as north polar ice. Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura seemed to emanate from within his body.
It made Tian Li speechless and trembling with fear. Tian Li was also panicked and worried that something bad might happen to him. "W-what's wrong, hey? Did I say something wrong?" Tian Li said that hesitantly.
Without turning his head and staring with focus at 'something' that might be very bad right ahead, El said. "You should quickly run around this block. I remember, the place we went before had a road between the buildings. That road connects to the road in the next block of buildings."
"What does that mean?" this time, Tian Li's expression wasn't just fear, worry and panic. Rather, it was mixed with wonder and confusion as to what El's words meant.
"The point is to run as fast as possible, go to the headquarters. That means the convenience store is 50 meters away from here, hurry up! They'll let you in because they're so stupid!" El emphasized his words.
With a sense of not understanding, Tian Li seemed to be confused about what to do and decided to follow El's words. Tian Li immediately turned around and ran away from El.
"Roar!" Suddenly, the sound of a beast-like roar was deafening, causing the windows to shake.
Hearing this terrifying roar, Tian Li ran as fast as she could in desperation, scared to death.
Meanwhile, El fell silent and stared into focus at the system's holographic screen in front of him.
Ding!

His right hand was already preparing to hold the handle of his sword after El read the notification screen in front of him. "Damn it, Lone walker? That's one infected I don't want to meet!" El said with worry.
How could it not be? Lone Walkers have large bodies with muscles and armor that is obviously very hard. They have red eyes and a snow-white exterior. They also have large mouths.
The Lone Walker's ability and strength is that it is a very strong fighter who prefers to fight alone. Even Tian Cheng who evolved at the middle stage 1 would have lost to a Lone Walker if Gao Fei had not intervened, showing the brute strength of a Lone walker.
For the weakest part of the Lone Walker's physical armor is the temple area. But if hit by an explosion, the Lone Walker would have difficulty moving for some time to come.
