At eight in the morning, the others gradually woke up.
After their bodies evolved, their recovery abilities improved as well.
Before the apocalypse, adults often needed seven to eight hours to regain energy from a day of fatigue.
But now, they only needed half that time to feel revitalized and energetic because previously, humans could only maintain two to three hours of deep sleep in one night. Now, as long as they wanted to, any sleep they had would be deep sleep, significantly enhancing the quality of their rest.
Shen Yuan could barely open his eyes, so he didn’t hesitate and simply curled up in a corner to sleep.
When he finally woke up, it was already noon.
He was awakened by a delicious aroma.
Chen Letian's cooking was exceptional, and the smell of the Full Sparrow Feast was irresistible to anyone.
Chen Letian had outdone himself; this time it was a completely different Full Sparrow Feast. The only thing that remained unchanged was its mouthwatering taste that could drive anyone crazy.
"Apocalypse Food Ranking: Mutated Sparrow firmly holds the top spot! Comment: Though small, the sparrow has the best flavor! Sigh, after eating such a delicious Full Sparrow Feast, I wonder if I’ll ever find better ingredients again," Chen Letian sighed dramatically, acting as if this meal would suffice for his entire life.
Shen Yuan ignored him and went over to the Box Truck to start activating the windows and doors of the driver's cabin.
He discovered that metal was the easiest to activate, glass was much more difficult, and rubber-like materials were even harder.
Perhaps it was because metal had the simplest composition?
Shen Yuan had some guesses, but it was hard to confirm.
Finally, he activated the metal door frame, car window glass, and other items, only to find that the Source of Life was insufficient to continue the activation.
He raised his left hand, and a pale golden metallic sheen had spread from his palm to the back of his hand. However, it had only spread a little, and there was still a long way to go before it completely covered his entire left hand.
Shen Yuan conducted a simple test and discovered that the skin covered by the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen had remarkably strong defensive capabilities, almost comparable to that of a car's body. Moreover, if the Source of Life were sufficient, the defensive ability would be even stronger. If the Source of Life was severely depleted after activating items, the defensive capability would be significantly reduced.
One could imagine that when his left hand was completely covered by the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen one day, blocking a blade with bare hands would no longer be a fantasy.
“What exactly is the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen?”
Shen Yuan was confused and suspected that it might actually be Meteor Fragments—metal remnants of a certain Apophis Fragment after burning through the atmosphere, belonging to the category of Meteorites.
However, he couldn't be sure.
Because in the dream on the morning of April 1st, a Metal Fragment pierced through his left palm. It was an irregular Metal Fragment, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like part of some metallic product rather than unrefined raw iron ore.
“Perhaps the secret will soon be revealed,” Shen Yuan speculated.
He had a premonition:
Maybe once his entire left hand was covered by the Pale Golden Metallic Sheen, the secret would be unveiled, and he would learn everything.
At the current pace, it might only take two or three days.
It's coming soon!
Shen Yuan conducted a simple test and found that after activation, the cockpit was very sturdy, and the glass was also quite strong. He didn't dare to test its limits fully to see just how strong it was.
Although after activation, the metal body and windows could automatically recover, this recovery also required time. Most importantly, it would accelerate the depletion of the Source of Life, making it not worth the cost.
After completing these tasks, Shen Yuan nodded lightly.
Although Wanlai Square appeared safe, everything was uncertain; anything could happen in the apocalypse.
Unprecedented heavy rain and Blizzard had occurred; what else was impossible?
Moreover, Shen Yuan could not stay in one place forever. He planned to go to Jinling and wanted to find Red Sister, which required a suitable mode of transportation. A sedan lacked off-road capability, while SUVs and off-road vehicles did not have enough space to carry many essential supplies. This Box Truck seemed relatively suitable.
"I should prepare in advance and put some essential living supplies in the cargo area. In case of an emergency, I can leave at any time."
Shen Yuan was a very cautious person.
Whenever possible, he would make all necessary preparations; opportunity favored those who were ready.
Thinking of it, he acted on it.
Since there was nothing else to do at the moment, Shen Yuan quickly mobilized others to move items from the supermarket upstairs.
This was a heavy Box Truck, approximately 12 meters long with a cargo area over two meters high, capable of carrying a lot of items. Although it consumed more fuel, that was not an issue; there were plenty of vehicles in the underground parking lot, including several diesel trucks. They just needed to find a way to extract fuel and store it.
Furthermore, there were gas stations not far along the road, so getting fuel would not be a problem.
In the span of an afternoon, they scavenged a lot of items and discussed, even argued, multiple times. In the end, they packed many things onto the top of the carriage and secured them with ropes.
As dusk approached, Chen Letian went to prepare food while Xu Lixing quietly left. Shortly after, he returned with good news:
The snow had stopped.
After 18 hours of blizzard, it finally ceased.
Outside, the snow had covered most of the buildings. The generally low factories and office buildings in the Industrial Zone were completely hidden, enveloped in a blanket of white. Even the slightly shorter flowers and trees were obscured.
The ground was frozen, and the river water that spread onto the road was also frozen. The entire Pengcheng had transformed into a snowy ice field, unrecognizable from its original form.
The world had truly become completely different.
The outdoor temperature remained below minus twenty degrees Celsius, exceptionally cold.
It was unknown how many people and creatures perished in this blizzard; however, many more had evolved.
After eating, a group of people ascended to the rooftop platform once again and began to absorb the Source of Life from the snow.
There wasn't much snow on the rooftop platform because its area was small. If the snow piled too high, it could collapse or be blown down by the relentless gusts of wind.
Once at night, once in the middle of the night, and again early the next morning.
After three times, the snow on the rooftop platform completely melted, and Shen Yuan and his companions' bodies evolved once more, significantly increasing their strength.
Shen Yuan picked up the High-Powered Telescope and looked into the distance.
He saw that many Zombies had become very terrifying; some Zombies had transformed into bizarre creatures covered entirely in ice and snow, while others had grown taller, and some Zombies were faster than Lickers.
He spotted some even more formidable Mutant Beasts, fortunately few in number, and they were not near Wanlai Square.
He shifted his gaze further away and saw the Dairy Farm in the distance, which had no trace of ice or snow because almost all the surviving cows had evolved. They absorbed the Source of Life from the ice and snow, and their body heat melted it away.
Hmm, they are still alive.
Out of two to three thousand cows, fewer than five hundred remained, most of them having been eaten by their own kind.
Most Mutant Cows had begun to eat meat, with only a very small number still remaining herbivorous.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan's eyes narrowed.
He noticed something unusual in the snowdrifts several meters high on the road; it slightly bulged and then collapsed, as if some massive creature was moving inside.
Minutes later, that creature arrived at the Dairy Farm and finally revealed its true form.
It was the Terrifying Giant Snake that lived in Dalong Lake!
It had come ashore!
