"Chen Letian, stop dreaming! Shen Yuan is just an ordinary person, how could he possibly be a match for Guo Dalong? Guo Dalong is a new breed! Heh heh, a new breed! Chen Letian, you and I, along with Chen Dalong, we are the same kind of people, superior to ordinary humans—Mutants!" Luo Jindou kicked Chen Letian away.
He was sent flying several meters and crashed heavily against the wall!
His strength was astonishing; had he already reached the limits of human capability? Even those underground boxing champions couldn't be this strong, could they?
"Cough cough! Luo Jindou, what Mutants and new breeds? They are just beasts! Beastification Human! One has turned into a lizard, and the other has a right arm covered in Snake Scales! You are all monsters, disgusting monsters!" Chen Letian roared, feeling bitter inside.
Although his body had also undergone changes, it did not translate into combat power. His healing ability had improved somewhat, his skin had become tougher, his strength had increased slightly, and his speed had picked up a bit. But he was far inferior to Luo Jindou and could not compare to Guo Dalong at all.
"Monsters? Call us whatever you want. An Apophis Asteroid changed this world! A heavy rain changed us! We are already different! We are so much stronger than ordinary people! My strength surpasses that of an Olympic Weightlifting Champion; Guo Dalong's scales can't even be pierced by bullets! X-Men may be an old movie from decades ago, but it's classic; you must have seen it, right? I believe Magneto is right; we Mutants should take over this world! Ordinary people only deserve to serve us!"
Luo Jindou dismissed him, thinking Chen Letian was just an ignorant fool.
Since they possessed superhuman powers, they should have the mindset of superhumans!
Why did everyone get caught in the rain and eat Mutated Hen Meat while he and Guo Dalong and Chen Letian mutated, but Xu Lixing, Zhang Huanxue, and Yuan Yulu did not?
This is fate!
Heaven wanted these people to mutate—Gene Mutation—becoming superhumans above ordinary people!
So what if they looked strange?
Fuxi and Nuwa were half-human and half-snake; Huangdi was said to have four faces; the Queen Mother of the West was an ugly monster. How many gods in legends look good? Which Western god isn't bizarre?
Power is fundamental!
As long as one possesses power that surpasses everything, then the aesthetic standards of everyone in this world will revolve around oneself, and one's appearance will represent the highest standard of beauty!
When King of the Gods Zeus transformed into a bull, he was still adored by an unparalleled beauty!
Guo Dalong is just a fool with bravery but no wisdom.
First, pretend to ally with him, use him to conquer the world, and then wait for the right moment to devise a plan to kill him!
Thinking of this, Luo Jindou laughed heartily.
"Shen, Shen Yuan boss?" Chen Letian suddenly pointed behind Luo Jindou, looking incredulous.
Luo Jindou sneered, "Stop with that! Shen Yuan has probably already been killed by Guo Dalong, right? Heh heh, what a pity for that little girl, only seven or eight years old? She’s probably being mistreated by Guo Dalong right now. That guy has quite the luck with women! But it’s fine; isn’t there still a beauty left? Guo Dalong has poor taste, thinking that Yuan Yulu is attractive. In fact, Zhang Huanxue, that college student who hasn’t even graduated yet, is much more fun!"
Luo Jindou walked towards Zhang Huanxue, grinning maliciously.
Then he saw Zhang Huanxue also looking behind her, with a surprised expression as if she had seen her savior.
Then he heard a voice that sent him plummeting into despair.
"Is that so?"
It was the voice of Shen Yuan!
What on earth is happening?
Where is Guo Dalong? Where did he run off to?
Did Shen Yuan really kill Guo Dalong? How could he be so strong!
Luo Jindou's smile froze.
He didn't turn around; instead, he charged directly at Zhang Huanxue, intending to take her hostage!
It must be said that Luo Jindou made the right choice.
However...
It was already too late!
Shen Yuan had no habit of giving his enemies a chance to breathe, as there were too many examples before him. Those who talked too much often died early; there were too many instances of people trying to show off only to be struck down. Since he had decided to go all out, he couldn't hold back!
Crack!
Shen Yuan was fast enough. The moment Luo Jindou heard his voice, he had already raised the Shovel with both hands and struck Luo Jindou's right shoulder with a blow.
Then he chopped through the part not covered by Snake Scales, severing it completely!
Pain, excruciating, bone-deep pain!
Luo Jindou was a different kind of ruthless person compared to Guo Dalong. His ruthlessness wasn't superficial but came from within. Before the apocalypse, he was a shady businessman. Although he had never personally killed or harmed anyone, the bad deeds he committed behind the scenes were no less unforgivable than murder and arson.
With his right arm severed, losing his greatest support, Luo Jindou instantly realized that he could no longer take Zhang Huanxue hostage. His legs went weak, and he was about to kneel and beg for mercy.
There was no chance left.
In the next moment, the Shovel severed his neck.
The feeling of killing was unpleasant, and killing two people in one day felt even worse.
Although to Shen Yuan, Guo Dalong and Luo Jindou no longer deserved to be considered human.
The rain outside continued to pour down relentlessly; who knows when it would stop? Pengcheng has a long history, with records of it dating back to the time of the Yu Gong. But Shen Yuan suspected that since the name "Pengcheng" came into existence, it probably had never rained this heavily.
It wasn't just rain; it was the Heavenly River overflowing.
Like the ancient legends of the collapse of the heavenly pillar and the overflow of the Heavenly River, the rain poured down as if it were free, and the sky seemed to have been lowered by eight degrees.
The rain curtain was heavy, and the world was dim.
After killing Guo Dalong, Shen Yuan felt a surge of warmth. Although it couldn't compare to when he divided the Mutated Hen, it was still considerable—roughly estimated to be about one-tenth of what he gained from the Mutated Hen.
After all, Shen Yuan had split the Mutated Hen into dozens or even hundreds of pieces, absorbing energy dozens or hundreds of times, while he had only struck Guo Dalong about ten times, absorbing energy around ten times.
Roughly estimating, Guo Dalong's entire Source of Life should not be less than that of the Mutated Hen.
As for killing Luo Jindou, it only took two strikes, but each absorption of Source of Life was much less than that from Guo Dalong.
Clearly, the Source of Life within Luo Jindou's body was significantly less than that in Guo Dalong's.
Why was that?
Shen Yuan didn't know. He felt he needed to find time to think carefully and investigate thoroughly, but not now.
"Can you still move?" Shen Yuan walked over to Chen Letian and pulled him up.
"I'm fine, boss. My recovery ability is strong; a few kicks don't mean much," Chen Letian said with a bitter smile, then pointed at Xu Lixing. "But that kid might not be so lucky. He hasn't mutated and got kicked by Guo Dalong... I estimate he's seriously injured!"
Shen Yuan nodded, walked in front of Xu Lixing, and checked his breathing and heartbeat. Everything seemed fine; he was just knocked out.
However, he had taken quite a hit to the head and was bleeding a lot. It was uncertain if his internal organs were injured.
In this apocalypse, where could one find a doctor? If something really happened, it would be a real problem.
"Boss, you're really impressive! You're also a Mutant, right? You killed Guo Dalong! Now you've also taken care of Luo Jindou! I knew it the first time I saw you; you looked so heroic and imposing, like a natural-born hero..." Chen Letian started rambling again.
This guy seemed to be a natural optimist, able to laugh in any situation.
Shen Yuan frowned. "I don't like the term Mutants; it makes it sound like we're not human. Also, I'm not a hero; heroes are meant to sacrifice themselves."
"Uh, okay, boss, you're not a hero; you're my forever boss in Chen Letian's heart!" Chen Letian chuckled. "New humans, Mutants, superpowered individuals—these terms were all made up by that guy Luo Jindou. Honestly, I don't like them either. I think the name that high schooler Xu Lixing came up with is pretty good; you must like it too, boss."
"What name?"
"Evolver!" Chen Letian replied.
