The barbecue grill was filled with Sparrow Skewers, and various ingredients like Baby Cabbage, Enoki Mushrooms, and Potato Slices were boiling in the Yuan Yang Hot Pot. Four large tables, each 1.5 meters long, were pushed together to form an even larger square table, at the center of which lay a whole Roasted Sparrow, surrounded by an array of bowls and plates.
Braised Sparrow, Stir-Fried Sparrow Liver, Sour Spicy Sparrow Intestines, Steamed Sparrow Heart, Pickled Chili Sparrow Claws, Braised Sparrow Head...
Dozens of large dishes filled the square table. A few people sat around high-end office chairs brought from the upstairs office. Chen Letian finally served each person a bowl of Mushroom Sparrow Soup and then shouted "Don't move," prompting everyone to raise their chopsticks. He quickly adjusted his watch for a delayed photo and rushed over to pose with a "V" sign, grinning widely.
Click!
A post-apocalyptic Sparrow feast photo was done!
Let's eat!
Everyone couldn't wait any longer; the various aromas stimulated their appetites. They devoured everything as if they hadn't eaten in eighteen years, clearing all the plates in less than ten minutes. Then they scrambled to tear apart the roasted Sparrows in the center. Soon, the crispy-skinned, tender, and delicious Mutated Sparrow Meat was in their stomachs, and everyone wore satisfied smiles.
Then they quickly moved on to the barbecue grill and hot pot!
In the end, all four Sparrows were consumed, and everyone lay back in their chairs rubbing their bellies; even A Hu lay motionless on his chair.
Stuffed!
"Chen Letian, I really think your cooking is better than that of five-star hotel chefs; being just a helper is such a waste! From now on, you should cook for us full-time!" Wei Luhe said while rubbing his belly, utterly content.
Chen Letian chuckled without his usual chatter because he had eaten so much that he had no energy left for banter.
"Ah! Outside it's freezing cold while we have a fire going here and can enjoy good food that we couldn't even get before the apocalypse. This life... is really quite luxurious!" Wei Jiankang remarked with a sense of nostalgia.
The problem was that he looked young and full of vitality on the outside; at over sixty-eight years old, he certainly didn't appear to be an elderly man.
Xu Lixing didn't speak but had eaten the most just now due to his excellent digestion ability, second only to Wei Jiankang, who wasn't keen on overeating. He felt warm all over; even without clothes on, he wouldn't feel cold despite the temperature dropping below minus ten degrees Celsius.
"I'm so sleepy," Zhang Huanxue murmured softly, her stunningly beautiful face slightly flushed. She stretched lazily, making Chen Letian and Xu Lixing's eyes widen in surprise.
Zhang Huanxue was originally a beauty, at least an eight out of ten if not a nine. After consuming so much Source of Life, her body became healthier, more perfect, and more curvaceous, and her skin also became fairer and more supple.
It can be foreseen that in the near future, all humans who are still alive, with handsome men and beautiful women, will have their overall attractiveness increased by at least two levels—
Except for the Mutants from Gene Mutation.
"I'm tired, so I'll sleep. Go back to the Evacuation Passage, close the door properly, and I'll keep watch," Shen Yuan stood up, first going to drive the Box Truck over and then distributing two magazines to everyone—
The ones given to Chi Qinghua were activated bullets, while others received regular bullets since ordinary handguns couldn't enhance the power of activated bullets; it wasn't necessary.
A few people worked together to move the dining table and barbecue grill to the Evacuation Passage, closed the door, then laid down five or six blankets on the ground and covered themselves with two more before starting to sleep.
The High-Intensity Flashlight was turned off, leaving only a candle lit. In this apocalypse, it was uncertain when power would be restored, so they had to conserve energy.
Shen Yuan leaned against the wall and raised his wristwatch.
It was already Early Morning at four o'clock, and it was still dark outside.
As usual, there was no signal.
Shen Yuan opened his notebook and wrote line after line:
"April 1, 2036, Early Morning 4 o'clock, the Apophis Asteroid collided with Earth, shattering into a meteor shower that brought Source of Life. The apocalypse has arrived; all things are evolving."
"April 2, 2036, Early Morning 6 o'clock, a torrential rain in Pengcheng, unprecedented. The rainwater seems to have brought the Source of Life from the air to the surface, triggering a second large-scale evolution of organisms."
"April 3, 2036, midnight, Pengcheng experienced a Blizzard, with a sudden drop in temperature. The snowflakes contained a small amount of Source of Life, causing a third large-scale evolution of organisms."
Three time points, three evolutions.
The Apophis Asteroid is the root cause of everything, bringing unimaginable amounts of Source of Life. The Apophis Fragment transformed into a global meteor shower, most of which burned up in the atmosphere, with only a small portion reaching the ground.
Thus, most of the Source of Life permeated the atmosphere, and only a small part impacted the surface, leading to terrifying evolution in certain individuals or groups of organisms...
For example, the Mutant Mouse population, the super giant Mutated Brown Bear, Mutated White Tiger, Terrifying Giant Snake, and the reports of mutated humans from around the world.
Then there are Shen Yuan and Chi Qinghua.
They are among the first batch of Evolvers!
One can imagine that there must be other Meteor Fragments present, perhaps landing in some special locations.
If the Meteor Fragments are distributed relatively evenly, then there must also be a large number of Mutant Creatures in the oceans. Considering the density, diversity, and size of marine life, the number of Mutant Beasts is likely much greater than that on land, and their strength is likely far superior.
Those remaining Meteor Fragments will probably give rise to more biological evolution, while the pervasive Source of Life in the atmosphere will promote the collective evolution of all living beings worldwide through skin contact and respiration.
As time goes by, all organisms will embark on the path of evolution, leading to countless new species emerging and countless species going extinct.
Just like several past life explosions and mass extinctions that occurred on Earth.
The Cambrian Explosion, the Triassic mass extinction.
Not just these two events, but many more.
These inexplicable life explosions and mass extinctions directly challenge the authority of Darwin's theory of evolution.
Now, Shen Yuan wonders, since the Apophis Asteroid brought a vast amount of Source of Life, how many asteroids or smaller celestial bodies have impacted Earth over its 4.6 billion-year lifespan? How much Source of Life have they brought?
Has Earth ever experienced sudden large-scale evolution due to the emergence of Source of Life?
For example, the Cambrian Explosion?
In ancient times, during the age of dinosaurs, why were those towering monsters, some several meters or even over ten meters tall, so incredibly massive?
Could it really be related to gravity acceleration and oxygen concentration, as scientists explain?
Shen Yuan thought of the Mutated Brown Bear, the Mutated White Tiger, and the Terrifying Giant Snake; their sizes were also enormous, not smaller than dinosaurs.
So, could the emergence of dinosaurs also be related to the Source of Life?
There are legends that many brilliant civilizations once appeared on Earth, such as the Mayan civilization.
Why did they suddenly rise, and why did they suddenly disappear?
Why did humans become the only intelligent beings? The former rulers of Earth?
Shen Yuan did not know; he knew nothing at all.
He just felt that perhaps all the secrets lay within the Source of Life.
Maybe what he thought was the truth.
