A brand new evolution model allowed Shen Yuan to see the diversity of evolution.
Comprehensive evolution, partial evolution, and co-evolution—each type of evolution has its own advantages and disadvantages. Is this the choice of nature? Is it the choice of the life forms themselves? Or is it merely some unavoidable accidents?
Shen Yuan did not know.
What he knew now was that Chi Qinghua had awakened, and after a simple test, she possessed strength and speed far exceeding that of other boys her age, as well as quick reflexes.
This meant that he no longer needed to expend too much energy taking care of Chi Qinghua. On the contrary, perhaps in many aspects, Chi Qinghua could also help him.
For him, this was a liberation, freeing his combat power and overall capabilities.
Now even if Shen Yuan had to leave for some reason, Chi Qinghua could protect herself. Together with A Hu, even when facing Chen Letian and Xu Lixing, she wouldn’t have to worry about anyone posing a threat to her. Both she and A Hu were cautious enough, vigilant enough, and quite capable!
Suddenly!
Shen Yuan saw a beam of light.
Worried about attracting Zombies or Mutant Beasts, Shen Yuan did not turn on the High-Intensity Flashlight but instead lit a candle.
The candle was as thick as a finger and emitted only a faint glow. Even through the narrow gaps between the Civil Defense Door and the wall, it would not draw the attention of any Zombies outside.
Since it was daytime, the basement was not completely dark; light always filtered in from places like the parking lot entrance, glass skylights in green spaces, and sunken plazas, even though this was already two levels underground.
The underground parking lot was not pitch black; however, it was not bright either, with low visibility and only dim lighting.
So when a strong light shone through, Shen Yuan immediately noticed it.
“Shh!”
Shen Yuan raised a finger to signal Chi Qinghua to remain silent, then extinguished the candle. He picked up the Slingshot with his right hand and reached into his jacket pocket with his left, grabbing five or six steel balls, one of which he secured between his thumb and index finger.
He was ready to fire at any moment!
Then came the increasingly loud roar of an engine as a vehicle entered the underground parking lot.
It stopped not far from where they were.
Shen Yuan heard footsteps.
Many and chaotic, there were at least five or six people.
Next, he heard gunshots; the people outside actually had guns! And not just one!
They must be dealing with Zombies.
There weren't many Zombies in the underground parking lot; most had come in through the parking lot entrance. If someone blocked the entrance and eliminated all the Zombies in the parking lot, closing all the doors, then the entire underground parking lot would be an ideal refuge.
Moreover, it was divided into seven or eight fire zones by concrete walls and Fire Shutter Doors, making it a retreat that could be effectively utilized at any time!
The people outside were doing just that.
"Damn it! Which bastard broke the parking lot barrier? The number of Zombies in the parking lot is increasing!"
"Wolf Head, shut up! Focus on clearing the Zombies! Chen Xing, didn't you find the keys? Hurry up and lower the Fire Shutter Doors at the entrance; we can't let more Zombies in!"
"Got it, boss! Hehe, with Old Wei on our side, we're not afraid of any Zombies! A sip of Old Wei's blood makes us immune; getting bitten by a Zombie won't infect us!"
"You're a jinx! You want to get bitten by a Zombie? Should we throw you over for them to bite? Hurry up and deal with these Zombies so we can go upstairs and grab supplies!"
"Hey, the boss and Wolf Head are not ordinary people; they are Mutants from X-Men! Do you still need Old Wei's blood? His blood is for us ordinary folks. By the way, I just had an intense fight outside with those Mutated Zombies! Compared to Mutated Zombies, these regular Zombies are like the girls from the Red-Light District—so soft!"
"Shut up! Old Wei's blood isn't infinite. You all better be careful and don't get hurt by the Zombies!"
"Got it, boss!"
"Speaking of which, this SUV is nice. How did we not notice it when we left this morning?"
"There are hundreds or thousands of cars in the parking lot; how can you remember any? Hey, isn't this Golden Furniture Li Chenjin's car? Is he also at Wanlai Plaza?"
"What Li Chenjin Wang Chen Yin? He probably turned into a Zombie long ago!"
The chatter faded, followed by the sound of gunfire and angry shouts.
Suddenly, a series of harsh sounds erupted; it was the sound of the Fire Shutter Door.
"Alright, the Fire Shutter Door is down; the Zombies won't get in now! You guys split up and clear out the Zombies. Gather back here in half an hour! We'll raid the supermarket together!"
The voices completely disappeared, and so did the footsteps.
Silence returned.
Shen Yuan stood in place, but his mind was replaying the conversation he had just overheard.
It revealed a lot of information.
There were about five or six people, seemingly each armed with a gun, and at least two of them were "Mutants", also known as "Evolvers";
They must have been here before, or they originally stayed here but went out and then came back.
They have an old man with the surname "Wei" in their hands. His blood is very special; after taking a sip, one will not be infected by Zombies.
Mutants cannot be infected by Zombies; only ordinary people can be.
They are now splitting up to clear out the Zombies and then gathering to go to the supermarket above to move supplies.
They are likely planning to use the underground parking lot as their base!
Putting all the information together, Shen Yuan comes to a conclusion:
This is a group of tough characters. If a conflict arises with them, Shen Yuan has no confidence in winning!
Shen Yuan recalls the strong light he saw a few hours ago when someone was holding a High-Intensity Flashlight and discovered him.
Was that person one of this group or alone?
Shen Yuan does not know, so he does not dare to open the door easily or go outside, because no one knows if it is a trap meant to lure him out!
A group of people who capture others and drain their blood are definitely not good people!
"Azure Mantis, stay here. Do not go out and do not open the door for anyone else, including Chen Letian, Xu Lixing, and Zhang Huanxue. I will go out to check the situation and return quickly!" Shen Yuan whispered.
He must go out and take a look.
Otherwise, he won't feel at ease!
However, he cannot go directly to the underground parking lot; he needs to exit from the Elevator Lobby.
"Brother, let A Hu go out with you. I can stay here alone. I want to enter A Hu's body and be with you; otherwise, I won't feel secure," Chi Qinghua said, tugging at Shen Yuan's clothes with a tearful expression, looking pitiful.
Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
As long as both doors were locked, no one could get in.
Unlocking?
I'm sorry, the lock on this Civil Defense Door is very special and difficult to open from the outside!
A Hu's strength is quite impressive, having him around is definitely a good help.
Shen Yuan organized the necessary items and stuffed them into the Military Backpack. Then, holding the High-Intensity Flashlight in one hand and the Shovel in the other, he carefully opened the Civil Defense Door and brought A Hu into the corridor.
He closed the door and locked it tightly. Chi Qinghua's soul or spirit—something that Shen Yuan couldn't explain at the moment—entered A Hu's body.
The sound of opening the door was very quiet, not disturbing anyone; Chen Letian and the others' room doors remained closed.
Shen Yuan walked to the end of the corridor, but A Hu was faster than him, slipping through a narrow gap in the door. Clearly, Chi Qinghua didn't want his brother to take risks, so he sent A Hu to scout the situation.
After all, compared to Shen Yuan, A Hu was much more agile!
