Chapter 3 Transform into a Skeleton
On the way home, Luo Qingyu gritted his teeth and bought a dollar of fat. When he got home, it was almost evening.
Nowadays, only his parents are working at home, and he and his younger brother are both unemployed vagrants. Although they are very hungry and want to start dinner as soon as possible, Luo Qingyu still started cooking until dark.
The so-called cooking is actually a few sweet potatoes and a small amount of rice. As for the vegetable leaves, it is the cheapest wild vegetables.
There are no electric lights at home, only candles. As soon as the candles were lit, my parents returned as scheduled.
My parents are only in their 40s now, but due to long-term malnutrition and working tiring, they look like a seventy-year-old man. Whenever they see their parents, Luo Qingyu always feels inexplicably sad.
"There is meat? Where does the money come from?"
Luo Zhong looked at his eldest son in surprise.
Luo Qingyu smiled slightly and said with a kind lie: "I found a job and worked as an accountant on a farm outside the city. I paid a month's salary in advance. I will go to work tomorrow."
It will be very dangerous for Luo Qingyu to leave the city tomorrow. He dare not tell the truth.
"Okay, okay." Luo Zhong's dry face showed an invisible smile.
"If you have the money to buy meat, it's better to buy more rice. Fat pork is so expensive. It's good to buy half-fat and half-lean meat. It's too extravagant to buy pure fat meat." Huang Lianhua nagged embarrassedly, saying no, but when she saw the fat meat, she couldn't help swallowing.
There is a serious shortage of food in the apocalypse, especially meat. Fat pork has fat and is resistant to hunger, so it is relatively expensive.
As for his younger brother Luo Qiuyu, he sat on the edge of the dining table with a worried look on his face, silent.
As before, not long after dinner, my parents went back to the room to rest, and my younger brother also went back to the room silently.
The house is two bedrooms and one living room. His parents live in a single room, while he and his younger brother are in the same room, with upper and lower bunks. As for the living room, there is no one to live in because the living room acts as a kitchen and is full of miscellaneous items.
Back to the room.
The younger brother Luo Qiuyu asked curiously at the first time: "Brother, have you... borrowed money?"
"No." Although Luo Qingyu was also worried, he still comforted: "You don't have to worry about debts, I will solve them. In addition... After I go out to work, you should help more at home, and... If... if I'm busy with work and can't hurry home, you... forget it, let's not talk about it, go to bed."
In fact, Luo Qingyu was not sleepy, but he felt very cold. Now he wanted to lie on the bed and hide in the bed, rest assured, accumulate energy, and deal with tomorrow's adventures of going out of the city.
Time passes by bit by bit.
In a daze, Luo Qingyu fell asleep.
But not long after, Luo Qingyu woke up again, awakened by hunger. This feeling of hunger was something he had never had before. At the same time, he smelled a strong fragrance.
When he opened his eyes, Luo Qingyu was shocked.
"This...how is this possible."
With his hands stretched out, his hands had no muscle at all, only a skeleton frame was left. His body and legs were the same, and his bones were dark gray.
"I...how did I become a gray skeleton!!!"
Gray Skeleton, Gray Skeleton is a difficult monster among the undead creatures, just like the blood corpse. The bones are extremely hard, and ordinary swords cannot harm the bones of the skeleton at all.
At this time, he not only turned into a gray skeleton, but also had a gray skeleton-like vision. He was very sure that it must be midnight now, but he could see everything around him in the dark, especially creatures with heat energy, which made him more clear, such as cockroaches under the bed, mosquitoes flying on his head, and brother sleeping on the bed.
And when he smelled the fragrance, he turned out to be his younger brother who was sleeping in the upper bunk!!!
Thirsty ~~~
Luo Qingyu couldn't help but let out a strange sound of desire.
"No, he is my brother!!"
Luo Qingyu endured his desire and staggered to the living room.
"Damn it, how could this happen!! Am I infected with a new virus???"
Just now, he had a violent instinct in his body. That instinct almost made him twist his brother's head with his hand and then suck the soul after his death. If it weren't for his strong willpower, a tragedy might have happened.
At this moment, although he was staying in the living room, the rich fragrance still impacted his senses. This fragrance was not only emitted by his younger brother in the room, but also his parents in another room and even the neighbors next door.
Suddenly, Luo Qingyu's body trembled.
He thought of something terrible. If... if... if his body did not change back before dawn, once he was discovered by others, he would be chased by the city guards and his chance of living was zero.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyu suddenly became extremely anxious.
"Change back, change back."
Luo Qingyu looked anxious and tried to transform back into his body with his mind.
Just then...
Click.
The door of my parents opened, and my father Luo Zhong appeared: "Qingyu? Or Qiuyu? I have been in the bathroom for so long? I don't know how to light a candle."
Seeing his father appear, Luo Qingyu's body instantly stiffened.
Thorn...
My father scratched a match.
"It's Qingyu, why? I'm going to work tomorrow and I'm so excited that I can't sleep?"
The lights of the candle were very dim, but he still saw the surrounding situation clearly. Luo Qingyu was also stunned for a moment. At this time, he changed back to his original appearance again, wearing the original old clothes, but his skin became a little pale.
"hehe……"
Luo Qingyu smiled, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to his father's words: "Yeah, I can't sleep a little."
"It's okay, just get used to it." As he said that, Luo Zhong put on a coat and waved to Luo Qingyu: "Since I can't sleep, I'll chat with you for a while. To be honest, Dad is so excited that he can't sleep now. I was worried that you couldn't find a job before, but now you finally have your own job, and Dad's heart has finally let go."
"You have been sensible since childhood and are smart. Unfortunately, you don't have the qualifications to practice. However, now you have finally survived. After going out to work, remember to work hard and work down-to-earth. It's too difficult to find a job now. Once you miss it, you will regret it for your whole life."
...
The father and son chatted together for a long time, but in the end, the father couldn't stand it and went back to the room to continue sleeping.
But Luo Qingyu was so excited that he couldn't sleep at this moment that he could transform into a skeleton. Such ability was something he had never heard of before, so there must be some special reason.
After exploring for a long time, Luo Qingyu discovered that the amber necklace worn on his chest had changed a little.
At this moment, the originally transparent amber changed color and turned into a translucent gray, and the flies solidified in the amber disappeared without a trace.
"What kind of treasure is this amber necklace? So magical."
Luo Qingyu carefully observed the amber necklace again.
"Change!"
Luo Qingyu sent out a thought.
As he expected, as the thought appeared, the muscles on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole body turned into a skeleton again.
After looking in the mirror, Luo Qingyu saw clearly his head after he turned into a skeleton for the first time.
At this time, his head still had no muscles, but there was a slowly burning ghost fire inside his head. His whole body looked a little gloomy under the illumination of this ghost fire.
Luo Qingyu had no muscles all over his body, but his bones were extremely flexible. He gently picked up the water cup.
There was a "click" sound.
The glass cup exploded instantly.
"This... after transforming into a skeleton, the power is so strong. I just took the cup according to my previous strength, and the cup was actually crushed!!! With my current strength, I should be able to easily deal with ordinary warriors."
Feeling this, Luo Qingyu's heart once again became extremely excited.
With the ability to transform into a skeleton, at least he doesn't have to worry so much when he goes out of the city tomorrow. After all, he is now a person with self-protection methods.
The next day it was dawn.
After breakfast and saying goodbye to his family, Luo Qingyu was in a happy mood and took his bags and went out.
There are many people going out in the morning, especially West Street. At this time, West Street has already become very lively. Basically ordinary people sell breakfast, while most of the people who buy breakfast are warriors. Luo Qingyu even saw two spiritual masters passing by.
Spiritual masters are a special profession. They cultivate themselves by absorbing the ghost fire of skeletons and combining with corresponding techniques. They are very strong and have stronger destructive power. They can be said to be the nemesis of skeletons.
"Boy, you are just wearing a body, don't plan to leave the city, right?" A young soldier with an axe on his back stopped in front of Luo Qingyu and asked condescendingly.
"Well, I'm just going to the edge of the city to take a look." Luo Qingyu was a little puzzled.
