On April 2, 2036, at 6:00 AM, the second day of the apocalypse.
The east was brightening, the sky was clear, and everything was thriving.
Shen Yuan carefully observed and confirmed that it was relatively safe outside before stepping out from the Communication Base Station.
He held an Activated Slingshot and an Activated Engineering Shovel in his hands. He quickly scanned his surroundings and then let out a sigh of relief.
There were no Mutant Creatures or Zombies on the rooftop platform, which was fortunate.
In the next moment, he gazed into the distance, stunned by the scene around him.
The entire world had turned into a green ocean!
After a heavy rain, all the plants had grown wildly. Overnight, trees that were originally about twenty meters tall had grown to forty or fifty meters. The once low green grass had also reached over a meter in height, with some even growing to two or three meters tall.
It was lush and vibrant.
The roads were covered by creeping plants, obscuring their original appearance.
Without needing a High-Powered Telescope, Shen Yuan could see that everywhere his eyes landed was filled with green grass and thriving life. The entire Pengcheng was covered in vegetation; thick, towering trees blocked his view, and even the tallest buildings in Pengcheng, over two hundred meters high, were no longer visible.
Shen Yuan felt as if he were in a primeval forest, sensing the air filled with freshness—a natural oxygen bar that even the forests before the apocalypse could not provide. Anyone living in such an environment would surely be healthy and enjoy longevity.
The civilization created by humanity over thousands of years had completely collapsed overnight; nature had returned to its original state. Aside from humans, perhaps all living beings on Earth would rejoice.
This was humanity's apocalypse but a paradise for other creatures!
Shen Yuan saw that some plants had already changed beyond recognition, transforming into entirely new species that had never existed before.
It turned out that not only animals were mutating, but also plants.
Mutant Beast, mutated plants, all were Mutant Creatures.
In the distance, the Dairy Farm was overrun with wild growth; the cows were all out grazing, but only about ten Mutant Cows were seen. After the Giant Cows finished eating, they randomly picked a cow, rammed it to death, then drank its blood and ate its meat.
It remained as violent and bloody as ever.
Shen Yuan had no time or mood for excessive lamentation.
Fully armed, he sent A Hu to scout around, confirming that there were no longer any Mutant Beasts present at Dongshi Communications, only a few scattered Zombies wandering outside. There were also no “Lickers,” the extremely fast Mutated Zombies. Only then did he climb up to the rooftop platform of the Communication Base Station and pick up a scale.
This was a scale left behind by Guo Dalong after being eaten and drained of blood by a Mutant Mouse. There was not a trace of blood or flesh left on it; the Mutant Mouse had cleaned it thoroughly, and it had been washed clean by the heavy rain.
Holding the scale in his palm, Shen Yuan felt a warm current flowing into his body, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
Just as expected!
Since the Licker's Claw still contained a large amount of Source of Life, then Guo Dalong's scale must also contain a significant amount of Source of Life!
Shen Yuan tightly gripped the scale and rubbed it carefully. A minute later, the warm current disappeared, and countless tiny holes appeared on the surface of the scale. With a slight exertion, the scale crumbled into deep gray dust, scattering in the wind.
“Is it the existence of Source of Life that formed this scale? Once the Source of Life disappears, does the scale lose its hardness and turn into dust?”
A palm-sized scale brought Shen Yuan quite a bit of Source of Life, making his body feel a wave of warmth.
There were still over a hundred scales left here.
Although not every scale was that large, a total of more than a hundred was still considerable. Shen Yuan guessed correctly; the total Source of Life from Guo Dalong should be no less than that of the Mutated Hen.
Taking out a small bag from his backpack, Shen Yuan collected all the scales, then looked at the remaining bones of Guo Dalong. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out to pick up one of the bones.
Frowning, he picked up a second bone, then a third, and a fourth...
In the end, he touched all the bones, revealing a look of confusion on his face.
"Guo Dalong's scales contain a large amount of Source of Life, but the Source of Life in the bones is almost negligible? Why?"
Shen Yuan did not understand.
He jumped down and walked in front of the Licker.
After being eaten by the Mutant Mouse, only a skeleton and four incredibly hard bone claws remained of the Licker.
Shen Yuan was afraid it might be toxic, so he didn't dare to touch it with his hands but used a Shovel instead.
Sure enough, a stream of heat flowed from the bone claws into his body, and after five minutes, it turned to dust.
There was quite a bit of heat, estimated to be similar to that from five scales of Guo Dalong.
Shen Yuan replicated the method, turning all four bone claws into dust.
Finally, Shen Yuan used a Shovel to touch the bones of the Licker, but the resulting heat flow was minimal, almost nonexistent.
"Wherever there is enhancement, there is more Source of Life? In other areas, the Source of Life is scarce?"
Shen Yuan roughly estimated that the Source of Life in the Licker was probably even less than that of Guo Dalong.
Shen Yuan looked around the platform and quickly found two chicken Claws and a huge chicken beak.
These were the Claws and beak left by the Mutated Hen.
Shen Yuan picked them up, a look of confusion returning to his face.
"The Source of Life in the Mutated Hen seems to be mostly concentrated in its flesh and blood? There isn't much more Source of Life in the Claws and beak. If that's the case, then what has been enhanced in the Mutated Hen might not just be the Claws and beak; it’s possible that its entire body has been enhanced?"
The evolutionary directions of different creatures indeed varied, leading to significant differences in combat power.
The Mutated Hen, despite having the most Source of Life, had the weakest combat power;
The Guo Dalong, with a secondary amount of Source of Life, had combat power that was considerably stronger than that of the Mutated Hen;
The Licker, having the least Source of Life, might actually possess the strongest combat power.
Everything stemmed from their differing evolutionary paths.
Mutated Hen is fully enhanced, Guo Dalong's body surface has been enhanced, and Licker's tongue and Claw have been enhanced.
The more concentrated the enhancement, the stronger the combat power becomes.
Luo Jindou and Chen Letian consumed similar Mutated Hen Meat and were exposed to rain for about the same duration. However, Luo Jindou's right arm has been enhanced, while Chen Letian's enhancement seems to manifest throughout his entire body.
Luo Jindou's combat power is significantly stronger than Chen Letian's.
Enhancement... is it really better when it's more concentrated?
Shen Yuan thought of himself.
Every part of his body has been enhanced, but the degree of enhancement in each area is not high. His vision has improved slightly, hearing has improved slightly, strength has improved slightly, speed has improved slightly, and reaction ability has also improved slightly...
Only his left palm is somewhat special.
He should be considered a combination of overall enhancement and localized enhancement.
So, which type of enhancement is better?
Shen Yuan has no answer.
