Chi Qinghua's body showed no changes.
Chi Qinghua's evolution method is quite special; she shares life with A Hu and evolves together. This method of evolution is similar to Wolf Head, but also has its differences.
After evolving, Wolf Head's body size increased, but Chi Qinghua's did not change much, or the change was not very noticeable.
Her body evolved comprehensively like Shen Yuan's, but her speed of evolution could not match Shen Yuan's.
A Hu's size seemed to have increased a bit, and he looked fiercer, with eyes like a tiger, full of spirit and energy.
This Tabby Cat became quite impressive, exuding a kind of tiger-like authority; though not large in size, it had a commanding presence that made others wary.
"I... I still haven't changed," Zhang Huanxue said in a low voice, looking dejected.
She felt that her body had become healthier, with an overall improvement in physical quality. However, without any special abilities or changes in appearance, she believed she had not become an Evolver, which made her very sad.
"Zhang Huanxue, hasn't your physical quality improved? Aren't you stronger than before? Faster? With better hearing? Can you see farther? Even your thinking speed and reaction time have improved? Don't you feel your mind is clearer than before? This is also evolution, just a different kind of evolution," Shen Yuan said to Zhang Huanxue.
Zhang Huanxue's direction of evolution was quite similar to his own.
If one disregards the Golden Left Hand, then he is merely a higher-level version of Zhang Huanxue, with slightly stronger attributes in all aspects.
Shen Yuan even thought that perhaps this comprehensive enhancement of physical quality is the true meaning of human evolution, while so-called superhumans and Mutants are more akin to Gene Mutation.
Maybe this is the truth about evolution.
"Gulugulu..."
Zhang Huanxue's face turned red because her stomach was growling; she felt extremely hungry, as if she could eat a whole sheep.
Of course, that was an illusion; her stomach could not hold an entire sheep. However, she was indeed very hungry—more hungry than ever before.
"I can't believe it, Zhang Huanxue, you actually let your stomach growl in public? Didn't you just eat not long ago (gurgle gurgle)... uh, never mind, forget I said anything." Chen Letian wanted to tease Zhang Huanxue, but soon his own stomach growled as well, and then everyone else's stomachs started to rumble.
Any large intake of Source of Life would significantly improve one's constitution, consuming a lot of energy and nutrients, which would lead to extreme hunger, dizziness from hunger.
Suddenly!
A series of bird calls echoed in the sky.
"High-Intensity Flashlight!" Shen Yuan whispered, and several people quickly turned on their High-Intensity Flashlights, shining them into the sky.
Shen Yuan looked up, his eyes suddenly narrowing, his expression extremely serious.
Because he saw that among the fist-sized flying snowballs, a group of white figures was rapidly approaching, moving at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, they became clearly visible!
It was a flock of Sparrows!
At least half a meter long Sparrows!
Covered in white snow and dyed pure white, they were Mutated Sparrows!
"Those guys are back! They killed so many people! They forced us to escape to the underground parking lot!" Wei Luhe screamed, pointing at the swarm of Mutated Sparrows.
On the ground lay the bones of birds and humans; the corpses had been completely devoured by something unknown. Among those massive bones were those belonging to the Mutated Sparrows!
"They're bigger than before," Wei Jiankang said, his face grave and filled with concern.
"Wow, what huge Sparrows! Are these flat-feathered creatures tasty? I've never eaten Sparrow before! What was that saying? Sparrow may be small, but it's complete with all five organs! Hehe, I want steamed Sparrow liver, Braised Sparrow heart! And a plate of spicy and sour Sparrow intestines! Tsk tsk, my Apocalypse Food Ranking is about to be updated!" Chen Letian always stood out from others, loudly declaring he wanted to take down the Mutated Sparrows for a Full Sparrow Feast, but he quietly stepped back a few paces, getting closer to the exit.
"Sleep brings pillows; hunger brings buns! We're all really hungry right now, and just in time for some delicacies!" Shen Yuan picked up the activated Submachine Gun, aiming it at the sky.
"Everyone use handguns! Fall back to the stairway entrance! As soon as that group of Sparrows gets close, we retreat into the stairs! Old Wei, Zhang Huanxue, and Azure Mantis, you stand in the back! Chen Letian, Xu Lixing, Wei Luhe, you stand with me in the front!" Shen Yuan's eyes sparkled.
They truly sparkled!
He was so hungry that his stomach hurt!
Although the Wolf Head's Mutated Wolfdog wasn't finished, given their current appetite, it wouldn't last through many meals. They couldn't really eat Mutated Rat Meat, could they?
There were plenty of food items in the supermarket, but after tasting Mutated Beast Meat, the delicious aroma had spoiled his appetite for anything else. Now, asking him to eat those things from the supermarket was really unappealing.
Now it was great; a whole group of Mutated Sparrows had arrived!
Sparrow meat may be scarce, but little by little it adds up, and it should last them for a while.
With the weather being icy and temperatures dropping below minus twenty degrees Celsius, it was like a natural refrigerator—specifically, the coldest part of the freezer—so there was no need to worry about the Sparrow meat going bad.
It couldn't get any better!
Everyone raised their handguns, ready to attack at any moment.
Shen Yuan felt a bit regretful because he only brought a few magazines with him, giving each person one. If he had brought an entire box of bullets from the Box Truck, taking down all the Mutated Sparrows wouldn't have been impossible.
But now, they had to be careful!
As he spoke, the group of Mutated Sparrows was already within fifty meters.
So...
"Fire!"
Shen Yuan let out a loud shout, picked up the Micro Submachine Gun, and began to spray bullets. One by one, the bullets poured out.
"Take down these feathered beasts! For lunch and dinner! For my Apocalypse Food Ranking!" Chen Letian raised his Semi-Automatic Pistol, and others followed suit.
In the pouring snow, feathers and blood took to the air, as Sparrows shared the same color as the sky!
The chattering of the Sparrows was piercing and annoying. One by one, the Sparrows were shot down by Shen Yuan and his team, falling from the sky to the ground, their blood staining the snow and puddles below!
In just a few seconds, at least a dozen Mutated Sparrows were taken down!
These feathered beasts had little defense and could not withstand close-range shots from handguns, let alone the activated firearms in Shen Yuan's and Chi Qinghua's hands!
There were at least hundreds of these Mutated Sparrows. Although a dozen had been shot down, many more dove in fearlessly.
The bullets continued to rain down but soon ran out. The ground was covered with the corpses of Mutated Sparrows—there must have been thirty!
And the swarm of Mutated Sparrows had already arrived!
"Go!" Shen Yuan shouted.
Wei Jiankang, Zhang Huanxue, and Chi Qinghua immediately dove into the staircase, quickly descending to the 33rd floor.
Shen Yuan picked up an Activated Engineering Shovel, Chen Letian grabbed a steel bar, Xu Lixing took a sharp knife found in a supermarket, and along with Wei Luhe and A Hu, they retreated slightly to the stairwell to guard it fiercely.
