Chapter 5 Investigation

In terms of physical appearance, in addition to becoming a bald head, his skin has become better and his teeth whiter, Xiang Kun's body fat ratio has also decreased significantly, and his lower abdomen has become a lot smaller. The most direct manifestation is the belt. Need to buckle in.

However, his weight has not dropped significantly. At the beginning of this year, when the company organized a physical examination, his weight was 86KG, and now it is 84KG, which is almost no fluctuation.What's more, from the 11th until now, it has been almost five days since I had eaten seriously.

From subjective feelings, Xiang Kun also clearly felt that his legs and feet seemed to be stronger, and he could feel it only when walking, climbing stairs, and lifting things.

Thinking of this, he fell to the ground and started doing push-ups.

After graduating from university, Xiang Kun devoted himself to work and lacked exercise. Not only did he gain a lot of weight, but his strength also decreased.During the New Year, he went back to his hometown to play cards with a few old classmates. After losing, he did standard push-ups, and he could only do fourteen at most at a time.

Now, Xiang Kun's standard push-ups have been done 30 times and he is still at ease. After 50 times, he can feel the weakness of his shoulders and triceps, and he can no longer maintain his standard posture by 58 times.

Of course, fifty-eight standard push-ups may be very easy for those who exercise regularly.But for Xiang Kun, who weighs nearly 170 kilograms and hasn't exercised much for many years, the improvement can be described as a leap from the 14 strokes during the New Year to the current 58 strokes.

Before Xiang Kun returned to the computer, he recorded this set of data on the file, and then recorded the photos and other physical data that he took, and numbered it with the date.

Then Xiang Kun did several sets of push-ups, including abdominal crunches and squats, which can be done indoors.

In addition to the single limit is much higher than before, the overall muscle endurance is also stronger by several grades.

In the past, after doing 14 standard push-ups at one time, you can do 13 more push-ups if you rest for 1 minute, and then rest 2 or 3 minutes, you can only do eleven or two push-ups.

Now, after Xiang Kun has done fifty-eight reps and rests for 1 minute, he can do another fifty-eight reps. As long as he has more than one minute of rest time, he can complete the fifty-eight next set of standard push-ups until In the eighth group, it became fifty-two, and the muscles showed obvious lack of strength and soreness.

So far, most of the physical changes X has brought to Xiang Kun have been good, beneficial, and beneficial.

But the problem that kept him unable to let go was the problem of eating.

From July 11 to now, although I was sleeping most of the time, I did a lot of exercise when I woke up. I just did a lot of high-intensity free exercises, but I still didn’t feel any hunger. After resting, fatigue is quickly eliminated, and muscle strength is almost restored.

He is quite sure that his body is not undernourished or lacking energy. The current state is not purely psychological.

But really only relying on that little chicken blood can provide so much energy?

Your stomach has mutated so much that you can consume enough energy for so many days from such a bit of chicken blood?

At six o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun went out to the food stall where he "borrowed alcohol to dissolve his sorrow" on July 11.

He found that when he came out to act after the sun had set, he seemed to be more energetic and excited, as if the moon on that day would give him an inexplicable drive.

When he arrived at the food stall, Xiang Kun ordered the exact same wine and food as that day. He poured himself a glass of wine. He didn't drink or eat any food, so he just sat like that, pretending to be playing with his mobile phone, while observing his surroundings from the corner.

He was thinking back to the situation at that time, recalling whether anything unusual happened, recalling whether the wine and food that he drank at the time were anything unusual.

Sitting until almost eight o’clock, Xiang Kun got up and walked to the boss of the food stall. After closing the bill, he told him that he came to drink alone last Thursday night and his cell phone seemed to have fallen here. He wanted to ask if he could check the surveillance. ——He discovered before that a monitoring probe was installed on the cashier counter.

Because Xiang Kun is a customer who just spent time, the boss didn't talk too much nonsense and asked a guy to take him to watch the surveillance.

Their surveillance video will be kept for a week, and if Xiang Kun comes a few days later, it is probably gone.

Turning to the evening of July 11, when Xiang Kun came over to drink, from the surveillance video, he was drinking alone from start to finish. No one was near him except the waiter who came to serve food and wine.

At around 8:30, he got up to pay the bill, and then called Didi. The car came in two minutes and got on the car.

No abnormality occurred.

After watching the surveillance video and leaving the food stall, Xiang Kun did not call for a car, and chose to run home directly.

The food stall is actually very close to his home. If it takes more than five minutes by car to arrive, it will not take long to walk, but he deliberately detoured a long way and ran a few more kilometers.

Under the moonlight, Xiang Kun felt like he was running more and more briskly. As if his physical energy would never be used up, he accelerated, sprinting at a speed as if he were sprinting at a hundred meters, attracting passers-by.

Of course, his stamina is not exhausted. After running at this speed for less than two minutes, he felt a little breathless and had to stop.

Back home, Xiang Kun took a bath, drank a bottle of mineral water, sat in front of the computer, and recorded the "investigation results" of his trip in a document called "Reason X Investigation 1: Food Stalls", and The surveillance video copied from the food stall was placed in the same folder.

At night, Xiang Kun still couldn't sleep, so he took the time to make a crawler script to automatically grab information that matches his description of "sickness" from the search results of the search engine and several target social platforms, and eliminate obvious film and television dramas, Literary works and related descriptions.Although the crawling speed is very slow, it is much more efficient than determining the efficiency one by one.

Then every half an hour, I will get up and do exercises for half an hour, push-ups, squats, abdominal crunches, hip bridges, planks and other exercises in the room that will not cause any movement.

And deliberately increased the difficulty for myself, such as various wide and narrow push-ups, weight-bearing squats, horse stances, some basic yoga exercises found on the Internet, and even tried to do Russian push-ups-but the attempt failed. , Proved that his current physical strength and coordination improvement are still limited.

He wants to see to what extent his body's energy consumption can support and when he will feel hungry again. He still finds it hard to believe that he can bear the energy consumption for so long with just a little bit of chicken blood that he drank yesterday.

But the strange thing is that no matter how tired he is after a one-time exercise, after a maximum of 20 minutes of rest, the muscle fatigue will be almost restored, and he will not feel hunger or weakened strength, as if he can just take a rest. "Charging in the air" is normal.

This kind of cycle didn't feel a trace of fatigue in Xiang Kun until the morning, but he vaguely felt that it was not caused by his own group of exercises, but was related to "daylight".
