For the next few hours, Shen Yuan was dealing with the corpse of the Mutated Snake.
He pulled out the fangs of the Mutated Snake one by one and then removed the Snake Scales piece by piece.
Finally, under the advice and guidance of Old Chinese Medicine Doctor Wei Jiankang, he extracted the snake gallbladder. This was a very valuable traditional medicine that could dispel wind and dampness, clear vision, detoxify, and alleviate heat rash. It could also nourish the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system, delaying the aging process.
The gallbladder of the Mutated Snake would surely be even more effective.
All the fangs and Snake Scales were placed onto the Box Truck, while the gallbladder was handed over to Wei Jiankang for processing.
Every part of a snake is valuable.
However, this was an apocalyptic world, and there wasn't much energy or time to deal with everything, so he could only choose the most precious and essential parts.
The corpse of the Mutated Snake was placed not far in front of the Civil Defense Door, hoping it would scare off any potential Mutant Mice that might still exist.
Shen Yuan went alone to the Box Truck and began to activate the compartment.
Soon, he completely activated the entire compartment; the faint golden metallic sheen on his left hand was almost invisible now due to insufficient Source of Life.
He returned to the Evacuation Passage and took out Guo Dalong's scales to absorb Source of Life.
Each time he absorbed only half, then threw the weakened scales to A Hu. A Hu casually chewed them a few times until they turned into fragments and swallowed them.
Before long, Guo Dalong's scales were exhausted. Shen Yuan took out the wolf fangs from the Mutated Wolfdog and continued to absorb.
Due to time constraints, Chen Letian also skipped over those messy "Full Sparrow Feast" or "Whole Cow Banquet" preparations. Instead, he quickly set up a 1.5-meter-high rack and strung one sparrow after another using Stainless Steel Pipe before roasting them whole.
A group of people quickly gathered at the Sixth Floor Platform after their meal, stepping into the still partially melted snow to absorb the Source of Life.
Shen Yuan frowned slightly, as he felt the wind.
The wind was quite strong, much stronger than before, and some of the snow was being blown away.
Before long, the wind grew even stronger, whipping up the snow and creating a scene as if it were snowing heavily again.
By two in the afternoon, most of the snow had been lifted by the raging wind. Everything around was making noise; standing in the gale, one could easily lose their balance as the wind had become that intense!
"Isn't it almost at its limit? Feeling hot all over and can't take it anymore? Let's go back to the underground parking lot, grab something to eat and take a nap!"
Shen Yuan led the group back to the underground parking lot for a short rest before returning to the Sixth Floor Platform.
Standing in the fierce wind, he found it increasingly difficult to keep his footing due to its strength.
He looked out and saw that the snow on the road outside had been blown up into the air. Some Zombies, not known for their agility, were staggering about, with some rolling on the ground.
Cars parked on the road were shaking violently, and even thirty-meter tall trees were swaying dramatically, while small grasses stood firm against the gale.
A few minutes later, he spotted a terrifying Tornado approaching from the direction of Dalong Lake, lifting a towering column of water as if it were a dragon drinking from a river, reaching heights of dozens or even hundreds of meters!
The Tornado swept up Zombies and corpses along its path; even trees that two people could embrace were snapped in half, and lighter cars were tossed about like toys.
Dust and debris flew everywhere!
The Tornado engulfed everything in its path, leaving nothing behind as if locusts had passed through.
The Tornado grew larger, and it was not just one.
Some reached the residential area, sweeping up countless Zombies, creating a grand and terrifying scene.
Suddenly!
Shen Yuan stumbled as a strong wind of indeterminate force swept through, nearly knocking him over. It was only because two 33-story Office Buildings blocked the wind that he wasn't blown away!
Hearing a noise, Shen Yuan quickly retreated into the hallway.
Two seconds later, various shards of glass, remnants of windows, and even broken office desks and chairs came crashing down from the rooftop offices!
Some fell to the ground right in front of Shen Yuan, while others continued to dance in the air!
"Is this another natural disaster? Mutated rat tide, heavy rain, Blizzard, extreme heat—one each day; today it's Terror Storm?"
Shen Yuan didn't dare stay outside for too long and quickly returned to the underground parking lot.
The civil defense construction had high standards; at least the Mall of Silence was still the legendary "Conscience Project." While it might not withstand a Tornado, the strong winds outside couldn't topple it, so it was relatively safe here for now.
No matter how strong the wind, it couldn't reach the second basement level!
Shen Yuan didn't return to the Evacuation Passage; he wasn't trapped for now.
He approached the Box Truck and began to activate the tires.
Although the tires were large and heavy, their structure wasn't overly complex, so he could activate one at a time.
The Box Truck has a total of eight tires, and it is estimated that the activation will be completed the day after tomorrow.
Activating the cargo area is to ensure passenger safety, while activating the tires ensures that this vehicle can drive steadily on uneven roads filled with debris and wreckage under attacks from Zombies and Mutant Beasts, without being easily punctured or suffering blowouts.
As for the other parts of the truck, he could not consider them.
After finishing one tire, Shen Yuan went upstairs again, arriving at the Sixth Floor Platform.
The wind was getting stronger, and the temperature was rising.
The snow on the ground was blown up into the sky; the kinetic energy from the wind combined with the direct sunlight caused the snow to melt rapidly. The entire world was liberated from its icy state, transforming into what a post-apocalyptic scene should look like.
Trees were snapped in half, and various Factories, Office Buildings, or residential buildings were damaged by the fierce winds—either their tiles shattered or their windows broke, with doors and windows being torn off.
If Pengcheng still had several thousand Survivors, then at least nine out of ten Survivors lost their homes during this Terror Storm. Some might have even been swept up into the sky by the Terror Storm, meeting an untimely death.
The Tornado had disappeared, but winds exceeding level 12 were still raging. Shen Yuan had to retreat because of the flying sand and stones; vehicles parked on the ground were tumbling around, already twisted into strange shapes.
The fierce winds blew for a day and a night.
On April 6, 2036, at 9 AM, the storm finally subsided, but Pengcheng had already changed dramatically. The landscape was filled with remnants of a devastated world; human civilization had been ravaged by this Terror Storm. High-voltage power lines were down, and both power and communication systems had completely collapsed.
Human civilization in all of Pengcheng was truly reduced to mere traces!
After having breakfast, Shen Yuan activated the fourth tire and then raised his left hand.
The Pale Golden Metallic Sheen had spread over two-thirds of his hand's back, leaving only a small portion uncovered. His five fingers were almost entirely covered as well.
Tonight, by tomorrow morning at the latest, the left hand will complete the full coverage. What changes will occur then?
Shen Yuan is filled with anticipation.
After the Terror Storm, the number of Survivors in Pengcheng will likely plummet. I wonder how many Survivors will remain in the urban area, perhaps only a few hundred or even fewer.
Even the number of Zombies and Mutant Beasts has significantly decreased. Many perished during the Terror Storm, becoming food for their kind or others, contributing to their evolution.
When Shen Yuan saw a Zombie covered in skeletal armor, resembling exoskeleton armor from a game or movie, easily taking down a three-meter tall Mutant Cow and then effortlessly escaping from other Mutant Cows that were pursuing it, he was certain that he could never be its match, even if he sprayed it with the Activation of Micro Submachine Gun.
As he observed more Zombies following that Armored Zombie, which was scanning its surroundings in a surprisingly "humane" manner, Shen Yuan's heart tightened.
"The Armored Zombie has regained some intelligence! It has even become a ruler among some Zombies!"
"Who knows how many intelligent Zombies are left in Pengcheng! Pengcheng is becoming increasingly dangerous!"
"I must leave Pengcheng as soon as possible!"
"I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning!"
