On April 6, 2036, at noon, the weather finally returned to the temperature it should be for this season, and the Terror Storm had completely ceased.
Until evening, no new disasters struck; it seemed that the Earth felt the people of Pengcheng had suffered enough, granting them a day of respite. Or perhaps...
It was brewing an even more terrifying cataclysm!
Shen Yuan had activated the sixth tire, and his left hand was now fully covered in Pale Golden Metallic Sheen, with only a small patch remaining on the back of his hand.
It was a bit faster than expected.
After absorbing the Source of Life from ten Mutated Wolfdog canine teeth in one go, Shen Yuan tossed the weakened Mutant Dog teeth to A Hu, noticing that A Hu's tail had grown a little longer, now measuring over ten centimeters.
A Hu's transformation had certainly caught the attention of others, and even Shen Yuan's golden left hand, which he had tried to conceal, began to draw notice...
However, everyone merely speculated and collectively chose to ignore it because it was Shen Yuan's secret.
As long as they still relied on Shen Yuan, they wisely chose to keep quiet.
Shen Yuan... did not care about these things.
In the apocalypse, survival was the most important thing.
After dinner, Shen Yuan took a nap and woke up at midnight to activate the last tire, then absorbed all the remaining Mutant Dog teeth.
At this moment, his left hand was finally completely covered in Pale Golden Metallic Sheen!
It seemed...
There was no change.
There were no cold mechanical prompts, nor any system notifications appearing. Even when Shen Yuan casually picked up a piece of scrap metal, there was no activation sound.
It seemed that the Activation Ability had completely vanished.
Shen Yuan felt a wave of disappointment wash over him, even experiencing a sense of "the sky is falling."
After all, the Activation Ability was his greatest reliance for survival in the apocalypse.
Without this ability, he would be no different from ordinary Evolvers like Zhang Huanxue, and he might even be inferior to Chen Letian and Xu Lixing.
However...
Was it really so?
Shen Yuan sensed something unusual.
He noticed that when he focused on his left hand, he could "see" a phantom of a Golden Glove appearing in the form of Pale Golden Light Dots, much like Iron Man's armor with only the left glove remaining.
Of course, Iron Man's glove was a physical armored glove, while his Golden Glove was not tangible; it was merely a phantom composed of Pale Golden Light Dots with nothing else.
Aside from that, his skin was still covered in a Pale Golden Metallic Sheen. Its flexibility was no different from ordinary skin, but its toughness far exceeded that of cowhide, almost rivaling that of Mutant Cows' hides!
Then something bizarre happened!
As Shen Yuan looked at the scrap metal in his hand, he felt an overwhelming urge to "consume" it!
Yes, it was that kind of feeling, as if he were starving and wanted to devour a sheep!
Shen Yuan discovered that when he internally resolved to "eat" the scrap metal, the Pale Golden Light Dots surrounding his left hand actually enveloped the piece of scrap metal.
However, in the next moment, Shen Yuan immediately felt uncomfortable, sensing that the "food" was unappetizing and tasted terrible. The Pale Golden Light Dots lingered on the broken metal sheet for just a few seconds before quickly returning, bringing with it a feeling of "I don't want to eat junk food," which surged in Shen Yuan's heart.
The broken metal sheet is not tasty?
Then what is tasty?
Shen Yuan walked over to a small car, reached out to touch the car's surface, and the Pale Golden Light Dots quickly "floated" onto the car body. Shen Yuan felt that "the taste was acceptable," but soon after, the Pale Golden Light Dots returned, and Shen Yuan felt "full."
Not full in the traditional sense, but rather not wanting to eat this anymore. Just like a person cannot live on rice alone, they also want vegetables and meat; Shen Yuan felt his left hand still wanted to eat something else.
Something else?
What could it be?
Still metal?
So for his left hand, iron is just one type of food; does it need other kinds of food as well?
Shen Yuan pulled the pendant from around his neck and held it in his left palm.
This was a Golden Pendant that he had bought two months ago with money he earned from odd jobs, intending to give it to his ex-girlfriend…
However, before he could give it to her, she had already proposed breaking up.
Soon, the Pale Golden Light Dots "joyfully" enveloped the Golden Pendant, resembling a "wolf seeing a beautiful woman" or "a glutton seeing delicious food."
Before long, Shen Yuan "saw" a golden mist emanating from the Golden Pendant, as if part of it had vaporized and merged into the Pale Golden Light Dots before returning to Shen Yuan's left hand.
Quickly, the golden mist seeped into Shen Yuan's left hand skin, and his skin truly turned a light golden color, radiating a metallic sheen.
This time, Shen Yuan truly felt a sense of being "full." The Pale Golden Light Dots that had spread across the surface of his left hand, forming the Golden Glove, had now completely disappeared and returned to the skin of his left hand.
He even clearly understood why he felt "full"; it was because his left hand's skin no longer needed to absorb gold but instead required other metals.
"Golden Hand?"
"Golden Glove?"
"Could it be that the metal shard piercing the palm of my left hand in my dream was actually a fragment of a Golden Glove? A glove similar to Iron Man's suit? An armored glove?"
"Is this desire to devour metals, especially gold, meant to restore the Golden Glove? And to merge my left hand's skin with gold?"
"Then has my left hand become more resilient now?"
Shen Yuan conducted a simple experiment and found that the flexibility of his left hand's skin remained intact. However, when he used an Activated Tactical Dagger to scratch the palm, even with half his strength, he couldn't cut through; it only left a faint golden mark that quickly vanished.
"My defense has become stronger!"
Shen Yuan even discovered that when he stopped concentrating, his left hand returned to its normal state, without even a trace of the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen, as if it had hidden beneath the skin and was no longer visible.
"The activation ability... has it really disappeared?"
Shen Yuan tightly gripped the Golden Pendant but still did not receive that cold mechanical prompt.
However, he found that he could actually control the pale golden light dots!
As these light dots merged into the Golden Pendant and then returned to his left hand, they dimmed, while the Golden Pendant became harder.
Gold is soft.
But now the Golden Pendant is much harder, not inferior to steel.
Moreover, after making a mark with the Activated Dagger, the mark quickly disappeared.
The Golden Pendant has truly been "activated"!
"So, the so-called activation is actually the Pale Golden Light Dots using the Source of Life to transform other objects?"
"Activation? Perhaps the Pale Golden Light Dots are the ones that are truly 'alive'?"
Shen Yuan noticed that he could freely control how much Source of Life to inject, allowing him to control the degree and strength of the activation.
He took out a Mutated Serpent Scale and then controlled the Pale Golden Light Dots to envelop the Snake Scales. Soon, he controlled the light dots to return to his left hand, a faint stream of heat flowing into his left hand, with part of it remaining in his hand and another part entering his body.
A faint smile finally appeared on Shen Yuan's face.
"So, the Activation Ability has not disappeared."
"It has become stronger!"
