Chu Feng circled around Zuo Jun, clearly noticing that his head had swollen significantly, having been kicked by the ox hooves six times. He probably had complete amnesia, right?
"Don't come looking for trouble again, why make things hard for yourself?" Chu Feng shook his head.
However, he thought that if Zuo Jun were to come again next time, his head might not even be able to hold up. What was the point of simplicity if he were to be kicked by the yellow ox two more times, turning his head into a mushy watermelon?
Chu Feng thoroughly examined Zuo Jun, especially his communicator, to see if there were any recent calls, but unfortunately, it was still blank.
Chu Feng guessed that after Zuo Jun contacted someone, he would most likely delete any traces.
This time, he carried Zuo Jun and ran for thirty to forty miles, dumping him on a broken road leading to the county, then returned.
The town had regained its vitality, with many people working in the fields every day, and a lot of crops had already been planted.
According to some of the elders, this climate was most suitable for crop growth. If there were no unexpected events, the crops would mature in a few months, possibly leading to a great harvest.
Therefore, the people in the town had more smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street. Many people were carrying a young man who was burning hot, with white mist constantly rising from his body, and he was screaming and struggling in pain.
"Quick, take him to Doctor Wang!" someone shouted, looking anxious. A group of young men carried the person and hurriedly rushed to the most famous clinic in town.
When Chu Feng returned, he happened to see this scene and quickly followed to see if he could help.
"Wang Pan, my child, what's wrong with you?" The young man's mother rushed over, tears streaming down her face, utterly terrified.
The young man named Wang Pan's face was contorted, rolling around, and several adults could hardly hold him down. His body was burning hot, emitting white mist.
Chu Feng was immediately startled and began to think.
"Big Sister, Wang Pan ate a fruit in the field, and then he became like this," a middle-aged man informed her.
Recently, many people in the town had been planting crops, utilizing the fields.
Wang Pan's family also had a plot of land. Today, he was working there with others. During a break, he smelled a fragrant aroma and found a silver fruit in the distant grass.
The plant was very ordinary and common, but it bore a shiny silver fruit.
Wang Pan was very thirsty at the time. The fruit's fragrance was tempting, and he couldn't resist eating it. However, soon after, he began to roll on the ground in pain.
People were talking, recounting all of this.
Wang Pan's mother burst into tears, her face wet with tears. She was extremely afraid, fearing that her son might die.
"Don't cry, the child isn't dead yet!" Wang Pan's father shouted, working together with others to finally get him into the clinic. The most important thing now was to save him.
Several adults tried to hold him down, but it was no use. Wang Pan's strength grew, and he almost broke free. In the end, Chu Feng stepped in to help, finally managing to keep him still.
Doctor Wang carefully examined Wang Pan, using instruments to conduct a comprehensive check.
"His vital signs are very chaotic, some hormones are surging, and the situation is not good. I have never encountered such a patient before," Doctor Wang said, sweating profusely, feeling helpless.
"This child has been harmed by rumors. He must have believed the reports about someone eating a fruit and turning into a silver-winged god. I think it's all nonsense!" an elder said.
"Yes, although there have been many strange things recently, some are too absurd to believe!" another middle-aged man nodded.
Chu Feng remained silent, listening quietly. He observed the young man on the bed, knowing that if nothing unexpected happened, Wang Pan would become a mutant.
Although Doctor Wang was highly skilled and well-known, he had no way to treat Wang Pan.
With a look of regret, he told Wang Pan's parents that he had no idea what to do and could only observe for now.
Wang Pan's father's face turned ashen, and his mother began to cry again, extremely afraid.
That day, the people in the town warned their children not to eat any strange wild fruits, or else what happened to Wang Pan might happen again.
Chu Feng did not go home but stayed with Doctor Wang, watching over Wang Pan.
After being restrained by Chu Feng, Wang Pan gradually fell asleep, no longer struggling, but his body continued to tremble, emitting white mist, which was quite frightening.
Wang Pan's parents were wide awake, their eyes swollen from crying.
When the sky began to brighten, Wang Pan, tied to the bed, finally woke up, emitting a painful cry, trying to break free.
Chu Feng was startled awake and quickly held him down.
During this process, Chu Feng watched as Wang Pan's abdomen swelled, and then a cracking sound was heard, like bones extending, which was quite terrifying.
During this process, a mist enveloped him.
Clearly, Wang Pan was undergoing a dramatic change.
In the end, he howled in pain, shocking everyone nearby, and many people from the town rushed over.
Half an hour later, Wang Pan calmed down, the mist dissipated, and everyone was stunned, as if they had seen a ghost.
Wang Pan's abdomen had grown an extra pair of silver arms, looking very strong.
"Ah, Wang Pan, what's wrong with you? Are you still feeling unwell?" his mother screamed, rushing over.
Wang Pan's face was pale, and he was a bit weak. He told his mother that he was fine but felt very hungry.
"You say you're fine, but look... you have an extra pair of arms." Wang Pan's mother cried again, feeling devastated that her son had turned into a monster.
Many people in the town heard the news and rushed over, surrounding the clinic.
"Quick, prepare some food!" Wang Pan's father shouted, asking relatives and neighbors to bring some food.
"Could those reports be true? Look, Wang Pan really did undergo a mutation!" someone whispered.
Now, Wang Pan had completely changed. He was originally a bit overweight, but now he was very thin, with an extra pair of arms, and his skin had changed from dark to pale.
In the end, Wang Pan ate a lot of meat and rice, one bowl after another, finally feeling full and no longer hungry or weak.
During the meal, his two silver arms were also moving, constantly putting food into his mouth.
People watched in amazement.
Finally, Wang Pan walked out of the yard, waving his silver arms, feeling the changes in his body. He felt a bit heavy-hearted, as he now looked somewhat like a monster.
He angrily punched, shocking many people.
In the clinic's yard, there was a landscape stone, which he shattered with a single punch, leaving deep and long cracks.
If he hit it two more times, the stone would crumble.
"Heaven, how much strength must he have?!" people exclaimed.
"The reports are true. Those strange fruits can really make people mutate. This is like a superhuman." Some young people were envious.
That day, many people in the town went out, searching for various wild fruits in the fields and forests, mainly young people, as if they had seen a mysterious door.
Many people wanted to approach and step through that door.
Two days later, Wang Pan's body stabilized. When he went to the clinic for a check-up, many of his body values were abnormal.
Especially his extra pair of arms, which were very hard, not even cut by ordinary knives, and his strength was equivalent to that of several adults combined.
Wang Pan, who was originally a bit overweight, had become very thin, and his skin had turned silver. According to Doctor Wang's speculation, his mutation might continue.
"My son has gained extraordinary strength. According to the reports, he might become a god in the future," Wang Pan's mother told everyone she met.
She was afraid that others would call her son a monster, making it hard for him to find a girlfriend.
In fact, many people were envious. Even some adults were searching for strange fruits outside the town.
Over the past few days, the internet was flooded with reports about strange fruits.
Because, for several consecutive days, not just one or two people but many people from all over the world had undergone mutations!
The next day, Chu Feng searched for more reports and found that the number of people had increased even more. In many towns, and in larger places, there were always one or two people who had undergone mutations.
Someone estimated that, based on the existing reports, the number of people who had mutated had already exceeded ten thousand!
This was a shocking number, and it was only the known cases. If you included those not reported, the number could be several times higher.
The internet was boiling. Could a mysterious new era really be dawning?
All the people who had mutated had supernatural abilities. Some could fly and teleport, some could melt metal, and some could survive in lava...
The whole world was discussing it, a wave of excitement.
People felt that a great era might be about to begin.
Some people's abilities were comparable to those of mythological creatures, which was quite terrifying.
No matter how you looked at it, the feeling was that the number of people who had mutated was increasing, and many had gained supernatural abilities, like gods, an unprecedented prosperity.
In the evening, a report appeared. Some of the mutants went to the Tian Shen Biological Group to challenge the Silver-Winged God, but the result was terrifying.
The mutants joined forces, but they were all swept away by the Silver-Winged God, unable to withstand a single blow. This result shocked the world.
The originally restless mutants gradually calmed down.
Although they had all undergone mutations, there was still a significant difference in their strength. The earliest ones seemed to be particularly powerful.
Later, another report came out. Kong Gang single-handedly swept through a mutant organization, defeating dozens of people, causing another huge stir.
From then on, people understood that the earliest mutants, the Silver-Winged God, Kong Gang, Huo Ling, and Bai Hu Wang, had an unshakable status, as if they stood at the top of the pyramid.
There were rumors that they had the support of mysterious major forces, providing various resources, including strange fruits, making them increasingly strong.
After reading these reports, Chu Feng was deep in thought. What would the future be like?
He had not mutated and had not obtained any strange fruits. Currently, he was only practicing that special breathing method and quietly practicing his boxing.
He no longer paid attention to those things. He would focus on getting stronger. Once he mastered the Bull Demon Fist, he planned to enter the Taihang Mountains to see if he could find anything.
Suddenly, his communicator beeped, indicating someone was trying to contact him.
Chu Feng was surprised. Since their breakup, Lin Nuo Yi had never initiated contact with him. Why today?
