A few minutes later, Shen Yuan arrived on the first floor and used an Activated Semi-Automatic Pistol to take down two Zombies, making his way to the outdoor plaza.
Only by observing up close can one truly feel the enormity and terror of this Mutated Snake.
This is a Black-Browed Rat Snake, also known as a Cauliflower Snake, which is a common non-venomous snake in Pengcheng, typically growing to about one or two meters in length.
This Mutated Black-Browed Python is approximately six to seven meters long, with its thickest part exceeding twenty centimeters. It is on par with many large Amazonian Titanoboas and is capable of battling fierce tigers and lions!
Such a terrifying Mutated Snake was easily killed by a Golden Eagle, without any resistance. This shows that the Golden Eagle's power exceeds what he had imagined.
The Black-Browed Rat Snake was completely dead, its seven inches pierced and broken by the Golden Eagle's Claw, unable to withstand even the shimmering metallic scales. The snake's head also had a bloody hole, which was pecked out by the Golden Eagle—a fatal blow that completely killed it.
Shen Yuan picked up an Activated Tactical Dagger and struck with all his might but failed to pierce the Snake Scales!
The scales of this Mutated Snake were even harder and larger than those on Guo Dalong!
Each scale was about the size of half a palm.
Shen Yuan stroked them with his left hand and discovered that these scales contained a vast amount of Source of Life, far more than what was found in the snake's flesh.
He then approached the snake's head, pried open its mouth, and touched the fangs with his left hand. Indeed, the Source of Life contained in the fangs was even greater than that in the Snake Scales.
Without a doubt, the most valuable part of this Mutated Snake was its fangs, followed by the Snake Scales, and lastly the snake's flesh and blood!
Several Mutated Zombies were approaching. Shen Yuan directly fired precise shots with his Activated Semi-Automatic Pistol.
Among them were no agile Licker-type Mutated Zombies, making them easy to deal with.
Then, Shen Yuan directly grabbed the tail of the Mutated Snake and dragged it away.
This Mutated Snake weighed at least one hundred fifty kilograms, not exceeding two hundred kilograms. For Shen Yuan now, it was nothing at all.
He estimated that even if he had to drag a Mutated Snake, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After all, he should easily break the Olympic weightlifting record for the 69-kilogram category before the apocalypse—his weight was only around 70 kilograms.
"What the hell, Boss, what did you do? A six or seven-meter-long big snake? This thing isn't a Amazonian Titanoboa, right? Why does it look a bit like a… Cauliflower Snake?" Chen Letian exclaimed in surprise, nearly jumping up.
"Drag it to the underground parking lot. If you're willing, others will be too; we could make snake meat hot pot. Don't people in the south like this kind of thing? Anyway, it's not poisonous. Also, be careful; I don't know if there are any more Mutant Mice around here," Shen Yuan said.
Chen Letian's evolution direction was towards a Hulking and Strong physique. His strength was much greater than Shen Yuan's, making him the strongest among them, so dragging such a Mutated Snake was no problem.
"I'm going to check the rooftop," Shen Yuan said, still uneasy because he worried that other Mutated Snakes or Mutant Mice might come here, so he needed to confirm the situation to feel at ease.
He quickly arrived at the rooftop platform on the 33rd floor.
He looked around and could no longer see any traces of Mutated Golden Eagles or Mutated Black Vultures. Only a few black dots were circling above Dalong Lake, which should be those few Mutated Hawks.
Soon, the Mutated Hawks flew away toward Yunlong Mountain, which seemed to be their current residence—
After all, a single Pengcheng Zoo couldn't accommodate so many Mutant Creatures.
The Terrifying Giant Snake and numerous Mutated Snakes had returned to Dalong Lake. The Dairy Farm was left with a ground full of corpses of Mutated Snakes and Mutant Cows, with only a few dozen Mutant Cows still alive, devouring the corpses of the Mutated Snakes.
It was temporarily quiet nearby; the Mutated Snakes were gone, and likely the Mutant Mice were too, leaving only countless Mutated Zombies everywhere.
"Pengcheng actually has so many Mutant Creatures! Especially the Mutant Mice, there must be at least thousands or tens of thousands! And there are countless Zombies—at least hundreds of thousands! Moreover, most of the Zombies evolved during heavy rain and blizzards. How many Survivors can there still be in Pengcheng?"
Shen Yuan shook his head.
Because he didn't need to think much to know that there couldn't be many left. Saying "one in a hundred" was already too optimistic; "one in a thousand" might not even be accurate.
Many Survivors retreated towards Jinling with the troops on the morning of April 1st. Those who did not manage to escape would find it very difficult to survive in such a terrifying environment, even if they had evolved.
Shen Yuan knew that even if he were thrown into the city center, he might not survive, let alone others.
"At least one in a thousand! The Pengcheng Urban Area has three to four million people, right? Can three to four thousand survive? Probably not," Shen Yuan sighed.
He wondered how other cities were faring.
If the entire world was like Pengcheng, then humanity was likely doomed and heading towards extinction!
"I hope other cities are doing okay. At least Jinling should be fine; after all, it's the location of the Eastern Theater Command. The military strength there is formidable, with many high-tech weapons and even nuclear bombs... Humanity still has hope!"
The Mutant Creatures were terrifying, and Zombies were evolving rapidly.
Moreover, everything that happened today made Shen Yuan realize that the range of activities of top predators was not limited to the city center or Yunlong Mountain, Yunlong Lake, or Dalong Lake; they could expand their hunting grounds at any time, making all of Pengcheng dangerous.
If one day the Terrifying Giant Snake brought a large number of Mutated Snakes to Wanlai Square, they would all perish without escape!
Shen Yuan raised his hand.
The Pale Golden Metallic Sheen on his left palm had already spread to the back of his hand, covering one-third of its surface area.
"Tomorrow or the day after, my entire left hand will be completely covered by the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen."
"I need to take advantage of these two days to activate the Box Truck; at least I need to fully activate the cargo area!"
"The day after tomorrow, at the latest! By then, regardless of whether my left hand undergoes any new changes, I can't wait any longer. I must leave Wanlai Square and Pengcheng and head towards Jinling!"
"Pengcheng... is becoming increasingly dangerous!"
Shen Yuan went downstairs and quickly arrived at the underground parking lot.
"Boss, you're here? Personally, I've really been wanting to eat snake meat hot pot. Old Wei also said that snake meat is very nourishing. However, Sister Hanyue and Luohe Sister both expressed their opposition, and Azure Wind Sister even had A Hu scare me... Sigh, I guess I have to give up!" Chen Letian shrugged and spread his hands, looking extremely regretful.
Shen Yuan nodded.
Whether to eat snake meat or not wasn't important; after all, there were still plenty of Mutated Sparrow left, and even more Mutant Cows meat. It wouldn't be a problem to eat for several days.
"If we have time in the next couple of days, let's process the Mutated Sparrow and Mutant Cows meat, and store the edible parts. Whether it's through curing or other methods, we need to find a way to extend the shelf life. At the latest, we'll leave here the day after tomorrow and head to Jinling," Shen Yuan said solemnly.
"Going to Jinling? Great! My ex-girlfriend is in Jinling, so I can go find her! Hmm, it’s been almost two months since I last saw her; she must be missing me so much that she can't sleep. I wonder how she's been these past two months..." Chen Letian mumbled to himself.
Zhang Huanxue had tears in her eyes and whispered softly, "Are my mom and dad... still alive? I really shouldn't have come out alone that day; I should have been with them... If they are still in Pengcheng, can they survive? Did they go to Jinling with the army? I miss them so much!"
Wei Jiankang and Wei Luhe remained silent because they only had each other as family.
Chi Qinghua also stayed quiet because only Shen Yuan was her family... well, plus A Hu.
Xu Lixing was silent as well because he had witnessed his family turn into Zombies, and he almost became one himself; he had barely managed to survive.
Shen Yuan said nothing as he walked over to the corpse of the Mutated Snake, bent down, and picked up the Activated Tactical Dagger.
