391 Physical Tes (1/2)

It was nightfall and the bunk was stuffy and hot.

Fang Yuan was sleeping in a double-decker bed. In a big room, 23 orphans were sleeping together. Snores and scratching sounds were normal and there was the occasional gritting of teeth. All of these led to Fang Yuan recalling what the female teacher had rambled on and on for the whole afternoon: Ideological Education.

”I can't sleep, I can't sleep...”

He crawled out of his bed and squinted his eyes.

In that instant, the dark room became instantly bright.

”It's great that I can still keep my Fiery Golden Eyes...”

This was a form of consolation for Fang Yuan. With more focus, Fang Yuan could observe the effects of an X-Ray as he scanned across the skeletons lying on the beds. It was a scary scene.

”Hmm, it seems like my skill is evolving. Are my Fiery Golden Eyes able to see through things now?”

In his field of vision, he could see that every child was full of life and energy, glowing like fireflies.

”Eh?”

At this point in time, from the window outside, there was a small glow which attracted Fang Yuan's attention.

”Is there someone?! It's so huge! Could it be the teacher doing her rounds?”

He climbed down his bed nimbly and at that moment, he could see a suspicious-looking skeleton flipping over the railing and wall outside. Looking at how experienced the skeleton was, this would mean that this was not its first time doing it.

”Eh? How can a child have a stronger life energy than an adult?”

Fang Yuan stuffed a pillow on his bed and covered it with a blanket. With a piece of metal wire, he poked the lock of the door.

”Kacha!”

With the help of his X-Ray Vision, the locked door gave way and Fang Yuan darted out.

The night breeze was cooling and Fang Yuan felt free.

”Ha...”

His eyes focused on the suspicious shadow as he followed behind it.

Outside the orphanage, there was a small river stream. The small figure held a bamboo stick in his hand, stood by the river and observed it.

Suddenly, as he released his hand, the bamboo pierced into the river and through a big green fish.

Fang Yuan was startled. Such speed and force were rare even among adults. Although the green fish was being pierced through, its scales were shimmering and its tail was still flicking around.

The figure exclaimed in excitement. As it was about to retrieve the fish, it heard a voice from behind. ”Hey, Zhao Daniu, what are you doing?”

”Ah!”

The figure shuddered and turned around slowly. With that, he gazed into the shadows as Fang Yuan emerged. Shocked, the fish in his hands slipped and fell to the ground.

”I... I... It was not on purpose, and I am not here to steal anything...”

Zhao Daniu had big eyes and seemed like an honest bloke but now, he was panicking to the brink of crying.

'He is only a pure child and would never think of killing me just because I found out what he was doing…...;'

Fang Yuan sighed before explaining himself. ”I am not here for the fish, but for you. I've seen what you just did. Your strength is superb and your speed is remarkable! You don't seem like a normal person...”

”I... I am not a monster!”

Whatever Fang Yuan had just mentioned seemed to be his weakness. With that, Zhao Daniu shuddered and cried out.

”Hey, you're not a monster. You're a superhuman, a superhuman who would contribute to Chinese Country!”

Fang Yuan smiled. ”Therefore... I want to give you up to the country!”

”Huh!?”

Zhao Daniu blinked furiously and gave a look of confusion.

Can they remain as friends? Their friendship was on the brink.

...

After a few minutes, in a bomb shelter.

This was originally built for the war but now, it was left alone. It was a mini base which Zhao Daniu had discovered for himself.

Fang Yuan lit a bonfire, descaled the fish, took out its organs and started smoking it over the fire.

Although he did not have salt and oil, the method of smoking was still able to remove the fishy smell from the fish. The fragrance of the smoked fish filled the air and made Zhao Daniu salivate.

”It's done! Let's share it!”

After roasting the fish, Fang Yuan split it into two pieces. He gave one to Zhao Daniu and started eating the other one.

Sigh... Without enough nutrients, his body would be extremely weak.

”Whooo... It's great! Delicious!”

Zhao Daniu did not care about the fact that the fish was still burning hot as he munched on it happily. ”If I knew that roasted fish would be so nice, I wouldn't have eaten it raw last time...”

Fang Yuan was speechless. What kind of life did Zhao Daniu lead in the past?

Of course, after threatening to hand Zhao Daniu over to the country, Zhao Daniu had to come to an agreement with Fang Yuan and promise to share any fish with him in the future.

This secret had stayed long with Zhao Daniu and he felt relieved the moment he opened up to Fang Yuan.

”When I was 8, my appetite grew and I became stronger. My eyes have also evolved to be able to see many things...”

”Booohoooo... I am not a monster. I am only out here looking for food because there isn't enough food in the canteen...”
