The enhancement of the Activation Ability gave Shen Yuan a sense of certainty.
He clearly understood the path he should take in the future.
He needed to absorb a large amount of Source of Life to strengthen his physique, and he also needed to consume "metal," especially "gold," to integrate it into his skin, enhancing the resilience of his Golden Hand. Furthermore, he needed to consume "metal" to restore the Golden Glove.
However, the Golden Glove was likely not something he could consider in the short term.
He discovered that not only could the skin on his left hand integrate with Pale Golden Light Dots and metallic mist, but other parts of his skin could as well, as long as they did not detach from the skin on his left hand.
In other words, the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen on Shen Yuan's left hand could continuously spread to other parts of his body until it covered his entire skin!
"Then, let's absorb crazily!"
Shen Yuan took out a piece of Snake Scales and absorbed the Source of Life within it.
Each piece of Snake Scales, about half the size of a palm, contained more Source of Life than Guo Dalong's scales. After absorbing three pieces of Snake Scales, the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen on Shen Yuan's left hand began to spread up his arm.
Shen Yuan took out a Golden Pendant and placed it in the palm of his left hand to absorb the golden mist.
Before long, he felt somewhat drowsy, his body was hot, and he was unbearably hungry, realizing he could not continue absorbing any longer.
Like everyone else, he had a limited amount of Source of Life he could absorb each day; however, his upper limit was slightly higher than others.
"It’s time to rest."
Shen Yuan returned to the Evacuation Passage and quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already 6 AM.
Chen Letian was preparing food.
Shen Yuan felt very hungry, took out a piece of Snake Scales, and began to absorb the Source of Life. Soon, he felt even hungrier, unable to bear the hunger, so he threw half of the absorbed Snake Scales to A Hu.
Strangely, A Hu was unwilling to eat and seemed somewhat... agitated.
"Brother, A Hu seems very scared, as if... as if something terrifying is about to happen. It's been like this for the past two hours, and nothing we do calms him down," Chi Qinghua said softly.
Shen Yuan frowned slightly, as this was quite unusual.
"I'll go take a look."
Shen Yuan quickly climbed to the rooftop platform on the 33rd floor and took out his binoculars to look into the distance.
Soon, he noticed that the activity of the Zombies outside had become more frequent than before.
Previously, as long as there were no living beings around, these Zombies rarely wandered about; at most, they would just roam nearby.
But now, these Zombies were walking around everywhere, as if... restless.
Before long, Shen Yuan witnessed an even more astonishing scene.
He saw that the Mutant Beasts, which were rarely seen on ordinary days, had all appeared. The number of Mutant Beasts visible on the road was more than ten times greater than before; some were jumping around, while others were aimlessly running about.
In the direction of Dalong Lake, the Terrifying Giant Snake reappeared, but instead of hunting, it was wandering around near National Highway 104.
At Dalong Lake, countless Water Snakes came ashore, and fish of various sizes leaped out of the water, some even reaching lengths of over ten or twenty meters!
Towards Pengcheng Zoo, a more than twenty-meter-tall Mutated Brown Bear and a ten-meter-long Mutated White Tiger had long since died, but another lion over ten meters long appeared, covered in golden fur, majestic and powerful, known as the “Golden Mane Lion.”
The Golden Mane Lion roared towards the sky, its deafening voice startling countless birds into flight.
Soon, various Mutant Beasts appeared, restless and roaring in anger, seemingly venting their fear in this way.
What exactly... had happened?
Or... what was about to happen?
Shen Yuan did not know.
He felt heavy-hearted and returned to the Evacuation Passage.
During mealtime, he shared what he had seen with everyone and asked for their opinions.
“Animals behaving strangely are often considered a sign of impending natural disasters. When dragonflies fly low and snakes cross paths, it predicts heavy rain. Sometimes our ancestors' wisdom is quite useful. With so many animals acting strangely and the Zombies also behaving oddly, it’s likely that a disaster is approaching,” said Wei Jiankang.
Chen Letian took a bite of Roasted Sparrow meat and mumbled indistinctly, “Even with heavy rain, Blizzards, and storms coming, I haven't seen these beasts act strangely!”
Zhang Huanxue said softly, "Maybe it's a bigger natural disaster. I remember seeing somewhere that there are signs before an earthquake, like muddy well water and unusual animal behavior. By the way, I think we learned in geography class that Pengcheng is an earthquake zone, and there was a Great Earthquake here before!"
Wei Luhe shook his right index finger and said, "Pengcheng is an earthquake zone! I forgot the name, but hasn't there never been a Great Earthquake in Pengcheng? Are we really going to have an earthquake?"
Suddenly!
The ground trembled for a moment, and everyone fell silent.
Zhang Huanxue whispered, "Did you all... feel that?"
Wei Luhe nodded, and everyone else nodded as well.
"Damn! It's really an earthquake! Zhang Huanxue, you jinx!" Chen Letian jumped up as if his butt had exploded, shouting, "Run! Are we going to be buried here?"
Wei Jiankang quickly said, "Everyone, get to an open area! We need to stay away from Wànlài Square; otherwise, we might get buried underneath!"
Shen Yuan grabbed his backpack and said urgently, "Leave behind anything unnecessary; take only what’s essential! Chen Letian, go open the Fire Shutter Door; everyone else, get in the car with me!"
He opened the Civil Defense Door and then pulled Chi Qinghua towards the Box Truck.
Soon, he opened the driver's side door and let Chi Qinghua hold A Hu while sitting in the passenger seat, with himself in the driver's seat.
Wei Jiankang, Wei Luhe, and Xu Lixing quickly got into the car as well; there was space reserved in the cabin for passengers.
Sizzle!
Chen Letian opened the Fire Shutter Door, and Shen Yuan quickly turned the car around, charging out of the underground parking lot!
"Boss, wait for me! I'm not Wei Luhe; I can't run that fast!" Chen Letian shouted from behind. Shen Yuan stepped on the brakes, and Chen Letian quickly got into the car.
Shen Yuan slammed on the gas, and the Box Truck headed southeast.
This was a wide road with six lanes in each direction. Although there were various debris scattered by the Terror Storm on the ground, the Box Truck had a high chassis and decent off-road capability. The tires had been reinforced, so sharp stones and rebar wouldn't puncture them. Thus, it swayed as it traveled at sixty kilometers per hour towards National Route 104.
Through the glass of the driver's cabin, Shen Yuan saw many Zombies running around outside. Occasionally, he spotted a Mutant Beast, but most of them were small in size, so there was no need to worry.
Zombies were also wandering on the road. When they saw a vehicle approaching, they all surged over. Fortunately, there weren't many of them; there was one every ten or twenty meters.
Shen Yuan didn't slow down; he slammed on the gas and crashed through!
One Zombie after another was sent flying. The reinforced driver's cabin was very sturdy; such impacts couldn't break it!
Shen Yuan didn't dare to drive too fast because there were all sorts of debris on the ground, and going too fast could easily lead to problems.
A few minutes later, he was nearing National Route 104 when he saw a large tree broken in half, blocking the road!
