Luo Yuan, who was about to lose consciousness, suddenly felt energized. His strength was slowly recovering, and his Will was improving. He tried to lift his heavy eyelids and stand up slowly.
What worried Luo Yuan was that the strange condition of his body did not go away. Instead, it got worse as time went by. His body felt like it was on fire, and he even suspected that his body would spontaneously combust if it continued.
"Have I been poisoned?"
But when he saw the giant lizard gobbling up the Thousand-Tentacle Crypt Worm's innards, he rejected the idea. If the Thousand-Tentacle Crypt Worm was poisonous, the giant lizard would have some reaction after eating so much flesh, no matter how strong it was.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, he carefully examined his body. Apart from being hit by a boulder on his back, which was still aching, there were no obvious wounds on his body. However, he was covered in the mutant beast's brain, which gave off a foul smell.
When Luo Yuan had split its head open, he had not been able to dodge it, and the brain matter had splattered all over his face.
Seeing that his body was getting weaker, Luo Yuan was about to go crazy. He thought of the attribute points he had just upgraded and quickly opened the attribute panel.
"There's no other way. I can only add the attribute points to my Physique. Hopefully, my 14-point Physique will be enough."
Just as Luo Yuan was about to make his last effort, a system notification popped up.
"Warning! Warning! The system has detected that a powerful gene is invading your body. The gene in your body has been stimulated and awakened. "
"You are now in the process of evolution. There is a certain chance that the evolution will fail and the gene will collapse."
"Please choose a safe place and go into deep sleep. The estimated time of evolution will be 10 to 30 minutes."
Luo Yuan's expression was very interesting. He did not know whether he should be happy or worried.
Evolution was not without risks. If the evolution failed, he would die. But he had no choice. Once the evolution started, it could not be stopped. Whether he lived or died depended on his fate. No matter how unwilling he was, Luo Yuan had to accept it.
He looked around. This was obviously not a safe place. A dead mutated beast, especially a dark blue mutated beast, was a temptation that could not be ignored. Soon, this place would attract many predators, and even dark blue mutated beasts.
I need to find a safe place!
The genes of the human body and the genes of the mutated beasts were fighting fiercely. The battle had spread to every cell. The Stamina that he had recovered by leveling up was quickly depleted by the battle at the genetic level. Soon, Luo Yuan felt exhausted and his eyelids were getting heavier.
He clearly understood that this was his body's self-protection. The battle of genes was a battle that couldn't be seen or touched, but it was even more intense and cruel. Every inch of land had to be fought over, and the slightest bit of excess consumption would determine the outcome of this battle. Through deep sleep, he would be able to reduce the consumption of his body to the lowest level, and supply the excess energy to this battle.
He had to find a safe place to sleep as soon as possible. He glanced around and saw the Giant Lizard. His eyes lit up. He hurriedly jumped down from the Millipede's head. His legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground. He became more anxious and dragged his heavy steps to the front of the Giant Lizard. Then, he used the last of his strength to climb up to its back.
"Back to the district!" Luo Yuan shouted in a hoarse voice and patted its back. Then, he lay on its back and soon, he lost consciousness.
The Giant Lizard did not have a high IQ, but after such a long period of repeated violent training, some frequently used terms had been deeply engraved in its poor brain.
Hearing Luo Yuan's voice, the Giant Lizard's body froze. It tilted its head slightly, as if it was listening, and then hesitantly looked at the organs that it had just pulled out of its mouth.
Then, it opened its bloody mouth and raised its neck, swallowing the last mouthful of organs.
Luo Yuan's power was deeply engraved in its heart. Although it was reluctant to leave, it pitifully walked back to the district.
…..
"Where's Hu Fei? Why are there so few people who escaped? " A tall, middle-aged man with a slightly tanned face looked even gloomier when he saw that there were less than ten people left from the original 50.
"Brother Hei, at that time, everyone only cared about escaping. We don't even know where Hu Fei ran off to. Who would have thought that a level four mutated beast would come to us? It's a pity that all the resources that we've spent so much effort to find are all gone now! " A man wearing mutated beast leather armor said sadly. His face looked like it had been corroded by something. There were dents all over his face, and some of his bones could even be seen. He looked extremely hideous.
"We can always find more resources. The most important thing now is to find a safe place," a man with a long face said in a hoarse voice.
"Indeed, we need to find a safe place. It's too dangerous here. If we're not careful, we might die. Horse Face, where do you think we should go?" The middle-aged man called Brother Hei nodded and said.
"How can I think of anything in such a short time?" Horse Face shook his head. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at a woman in the crowd. "Who's that? Where did you bring us to last time? "
A woman with disheveled hair and a dirty face raised her head. She was wearing a tattered dress that could not cover many parts of her body, revealing a large area of her snow-white skin. There were still some dried body fluids on her clothes, and her body gave off a foul smell. Seeing that someone was looking at her, she quickly put on a fawning expression and said, "Brother, my name is Huang Yuying."
"Do you want to be f * cked again?" Horse Face's eyes flashed fiercely as he pinched her chest hard.
Huang Yuying's face turned pale from the pain. However, she still squeezed out a stiff smile and said, "Brother, I know I'm wrong. It's … it's the Jingyue District, where I used to live."
"Damn it. You don't even know how to wash it. It stinks!" Horse Face sniffed his palm and wiped it with a wet towel on his pants in disgust. He turned to the crowd and said, "It's the Jingyue District. I remember that the things there were not all moved last time. There won't be a shortage of food in a short period of time. Can we go there and hide?"
"It won't be dangerous, right? I think it's better to go to the bomb shelter." The disfigured young man said in a sharp voice.
"The bomb shelter is too far away." A middle-aged man in a suit and holding a rifle shook his head calmly and said, "And those people are too ruthless. I heard from those who escaped a while ago that they have even eaten human flesh. It's not easy to deal with them. We might even be betrayed by them."
Brother Hei frowned and thought for a while. He made a decision and said, "Then let's go to the Jingyue District. Be careful on the way. Use cold weapons to avoid alerting mutated beasts above level two."
"We've been here before, so there shouldn't be a problem!" The disfigured young man said.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Brother Hei glared at him and said, holding a white knife made from the teeth of mutated beasts.
The few of them turned around and walked towards another path. The rest of the people quickly followed. Among the dozen or so people, more than half of them were women. All of them looked numb, as if they had lost their vitality. Huang Yuying touched her chest that was bruised from being twisted. She had a complicated expression on her face as she followed the group towards the Jingyue District.
Apart from encountering a few level one mutated beasts, they arrived at the Jingyue District in less than half an hour.
"Oh no, there are footprints here." The man in the suit squatted down and carefully observed the deep footprints in the mud. His expression changed and he said hurriedly, "The footprints are still fresh. They should have been made within a day. It's too dangerous here. Let's leave!"
"Are you sure?" Brother Hei said seriously.
"You know that I used to be an anti-smuggling officer at the border of Yunnan. There are jungles everywhere there, and most of the time, we use primitive methods to catch smugglers. I can't be wrong. "The middle-aged man in the suit looked at the ground and walked around anxiously." There are a lot of messy footprints here, and some are long and some are short. This means that this is the path that mutated beasts must take. The closest one should have left, but it will probably be back soon. It's very likely to be back in the next moment. "
It was not easy to get here, but they had to turn around again. They did not know where to go next. Brother Hei did not want to give up, so he asked hopefully, "Can you tell what level it is?"
If its strength was average, it would be better to take the risk and kill it. Level two mutated beasts could be killed with a rifle, but level three would be troublesome. Last time, they had killed a seriously injured level three mutated beast, and more than a dozen people had died, including an evolved person. Deng Chao's face had been ruined at that time. Of course, it was also because it was the first time they had encountered such a creature, and they had no experience.
The man in the suit shook his head. "I can't tell! But from the footprints, it should weigh more than a dozen tons. Its body length, not including its tail, should be four to five meters long. Judging from its size, it's very likely to be a level three mutated beast! "
Everyone gasped, and their faces were extremely pale.
"Brother Hei, let's forget it. It's too risky for us to go somewhere else. "Ma Lian's face was pale.
At this time, the man in the suit suddenly made a sound of surprise and asked doubtfully, "Why are there human footprints here?"
Everyone looked over and saw that there was a fresh set of human footprints near the huge footprints of the mutated beast.
"Is there someone living here?" The disfigured young man called Deng Chao said in disbelief.
At this time, there was a faint vibration coming from the ground. Before they could react, a huge creature suddenly appeared in front of them at the corner of the street.
Its emerald green scales shone with a jade-like luster, and its ferocious head was full of crescent-shaped bone spurs that looked like daggers. It suddenly raised its head and looked straight at them with its cold eyes.
Everyone felt their scalps go numb. The evolved people were still fine, but the ordinary people were already scared out of their wits. Some of them could not help but run in all directions. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen teams had been reduced by half.
Cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of the evolved people. Brother Hei unconsciously swallowed his saliva, feeling a huge pressure in his heart. This mutated beast was too big, and it was completely intact. Its fighting power could not be compared to that of the heavily injured mutated beast they had encountered before. He quickly looked around and his heart sank.
This was a straight road, and the nearest crossroad was hundreds of meters away. Nearby was a commercial street, and the buildings were low. The mutated beast could easily find them, and they would not even be able to hide. He looked at the entrance of the community, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "I don't care so much. Let's go in, and fate will decide our lives!"
Huang Yuying was so scared that her face turned pale. She desperately ran inside with the others. This community, which had left her with many memories, had now become a dangerous place. The vibration behind her was getting louder, and a sense of despair filled her heart.
"There's someone over there?" Ma Lian suddenly shouted, his face full of disbelief.
In the distance, there were a few men and women standing together, as if they were waiting for someone!
Huang Yuying was stunned, and she looked at them blankly. Her legs moved along with the inertia of the inertia machine. Looking at those familiar people, she suddenly had a mixed feeling in her heart.
