After eating, Chen Letian called out to everyone, driving to clear the road, taking Skinny Guy along to move the bulldozer and excavator, and bringing Xu Lixing with him because it might not be safe outside; there could still be some escaped Zombies and countless Mutant Beasts lurking around.
Ling Jie had come by once to find Zhang Huanxue, saying there were some matters to discuss. Wei Luhe naturally followed for safety, as Zhang Huanxue's strength was not very impressive, so it was better to be cautious. Wei Jiankang also tagged along because the injuries on these women needed dressing changes and follow-up checks to see how they were healing.
This time, Chi Qinghua also brought A Hu along because being alone was simply too boring.
Shen Yuan stayed alone in the driver's seat, taking out a Mutated Serpent Scale to continue absorbing the Source of Life.
The Meteor Fragments obtained from Guo Zuo had many small holes, some of which were through-and-through. Shen Yuan found a platinum necklace and strung the Meteor Fragments onto it, then added a safety rope to the necklace and hung it around his neck—
He no longer wanted to wear that Golden Pendant.
The Meteor Fragments constantly emitted Source of Life, and Shen Yuan felt his physical condition improving day by day. Coupled with the continuous absorption of Source of Life from the Mutated Serpent Scale, Shen Yuan believed that one day he would become stronger than the Terrifying Giant Snake!
Now, the Pale Golden Light Dots on his left hand had already spread halfway up his left forearm, and the spreading speed was increasing. It was evident that as his physical condition improved and his endurance grew stronger, he could absorb more Source of Life each day, leading to faster evolution.
After absorbing five pieces of Mutated Serpent Scale, Shen Yuan stopped.
Shen Yuan was unsure about his current strength because every time he encountered an enemy, he tried to resolve it with his pistol and Micro Submachine Gun. He had never allowed enemies to get close to him; he was cautious and careful— a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
However, he estimated that his strength should not be much weaker than Chen Letian's, and his speed might not be inferior to Xu Lixing's. He did not know if his physical condition could match Xu Lixing's, but in a life-and-death struggle, Xu Lixing would definitely not be his opponent.
Because Xu Lixing was just a mutated evolved high school student, while he had received professional Combat training; his combat skills and experience were even praised by Red Sister.
Sun Jie gave her two daggers to Xu Lixing while Shen Yuan kept his Tactical Dagger with him because there would always be times for close combat; no matter how cautious he was, he could not avoid it.
This Tactical Dagger constantly absorbs the Source of Life emitted by Meteor Fragments, so there is no need to worry about the activation effect diminishing.
In fact, the reason the activation effect diminishes is that the Source of Life within the activated items is also continuously depleting.
Shen Yuan discovered that the Source of Life in metal items depletes the fastest, followed by rocks, then other products, and finally the corpses of Mutant Creatures.
For example, the tires, glass, and cabin of this truck are all activated, but the depletion rate of the Source of Life in the tires is much slower than that in the glass, and the glass depletes much slower than the cabin. Although the corpses of those Mutant Beasts also lose Source of Life, it is only a barely noticeable amount.
Thus, Shen Yuan thought, if he were to apply the grease from a Mutant Beast to the Activated Dagger, or directly make a sheath from the skin of a Mutant Beast, would the depletion rate of the Source of Life be even slower?
Of course, there is no need for that right now.
As long as the Meteor Fragments are still present and the Activated Dagger is kept close, the absorption rate of the Source of Life will be faster than its depletion.
"Knock knock knock!"
A series of knocks on the window interrupted Shen Yuan's thoughts.
With a helpless smile, Shen Yuan turned his head.
This was already the sixth wave this morning. Without asking, he knew they were here to inquire when he would leave Zhangjia Town, whether he was going to Suicheng, if they could accompany him for protection, and that they were willing to offer various services, among other things.
Shen Yuan declined them all.
The journey may not be safe, as no one knows what they will encounter. He himself is unsure if he can guarantee safety, so how can he bring others along? On one hand, he doesn't want to carry extra burdens; on the other hand, he doesn't want to put others in danger.
In his view, the police station is relatively safe.
As long as they seal off the gaps created by the earthquake and have dedicated personnel on guard every day, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Those Mutant Mice are not as terrifying as imagined; their actual strength is no greater than that of wild boars before the apocalypse, and they are far weaker than tigers or leopards. As long as these people work together, overcoming difficulties shouldn't be an issue.
Moreover, as long as they survive, they will continue to evolve, their physical qualities improving over time, and the light of hope will shine brighter and brighter.
In the apocalypse, who can be relied upon?
One can only rely on oneself.
"Shen Ge, here's the thing: when we were scavenging in the supermarket, we found a Mutant Pig that had been half-killed. It doesn't seem as strong as the Steel-Maned Black Pig, but it's still not something we can handle. So we wanted to ask Shen Ge to take it down for us, and then you could reward us with some meat. Hehe, we've never eaten Mutated Beast Meat before and don't know if it's tasty," a man in his thirties chuckled while looking up with a grin.
Shen Yuan glanced at him.
This was a man who appeared quite strong, followed by three others who seemed to be part of his group.
Shen Yuan's ability to read people is average, but he felt something was off about them; this was the instinct of an Evolver. As his level of evolution increased, this instinct became stronger.
A beast-like intuition!
"What do you call yourself?" Shen Yuan opened the car window and extended his left hand.
The man was taken aback because handshakes are usually done with the right hand. However, he quickly recalled that he had seen Shen Yuan use his left hand before; could it be that he was left-handed?
With this thought, his confusion disappeared, and he promptly extended his left hand, smiling as he said, "Shen Ge, my name is Li Xinquan; you can just call me Xiao Li."
Shen Yuan grasped Li Xinquan's hand, paused for a few seconds, then calmly withdrew his hand while raising his vigilance to a heightened level.
Any part of his body covered by a faint golden glow could absorb the Source of Life from inanimate objects through contact, but he could not absorb it from living beings. However, he had tried and found that he could roughly sense how much Source of Life was within the other person through contact.
It was a strange sensation, one brought about by the faint golden glow, which could not be explained by current science.
Previously, he had sensed the Source of Life in Xu Lixing, Chen Letian, Chi Qinghua, and others, discovering that Xu Lixing and Chen Letian were similar, while Chi Qinghua had less.
Now he found that Li Xinquan also had a significant amount of Source of Life; although it was not as much as Xu Lixing or Chen Letian, it was comparable to Chi Qinghua.
Ordinary people could not possibly reach this level unless they were highly evolved!
This was a hidden Evolver!
Why was he hiding?
Shen Yuan did not know, but he understood that he needed to be on high alert because this person posed a threat to him!
