As soon as they boarded the mothership, the experts and technicians rushed to the production area to check on the Glassian's industrial system.
The production area of the mothership was divided into two levels. Compared to the empty residential area that was more than 200 meters high, the production area was much more compact. However, the height of each level was about 50 meters.
The factories were arranged neatly like a military formation. There were tens of thousands of machines inside, some were as big as a mountain, some were small and compact.
Some of the machines were similar to humans, and one could roughly tell what they were used for. However, most of the machines were confusing.
One reason was that the industrial system of the Glassian was different from that of humans, and the other reason was that the Glassian's technology was much more advanced than that of humans. From the perspective of humans, everything here was like science fiction and mysterious. Without a long period of exploration and operation, it was difficult to determine the actual use of these machines.
The factories were standard modules that seemed to be unmanned. They were strictly divided into different areas and were of the same size. Every factory was stacked into rectangular modules that looked like containers. The engineering robots could be seen everywhere, and they could be moved as they wished.
However, without the control of the artificial intelligence system, the engineering robots had entered a dormant state and could no longer work as they used to. At the same time, the factories had stopped operating, and it would require the efforts of the experts and technicians to restart them.
Luo Yuan stayed for a while and told Bi Jianping about the things that he needed to pay attention to. He then left the mothership and boarded the emergency rescue spacecraft to return to Earth. Of course, the spacecraft could not be left idle.
The situation was getting worse, and the migration of people from the nearby cities was urgent. By then, they would need to use the spacecraft.
It was only 1 am when they left, and it was already 7 am when they returned. He walked out of the spacecraft and looked at the dark sky. His heart felt heavy.
Compared to last night, the temperature had dropped by about 10 degrees Celsius. Snow began to cover the entire Earth.
In just half a day, the layer of ice under his feet had thickened, and cracking sounds could be heard when he stepped on the ground. As there was a lot of dust and sand in the air, the layer of ice looked dirty and dark, just like the dark night sky.
The strong wind that had been blowing for a few days had finally subsided, and everything was calm again.
Walking in this world of ice and snow, he felt a peace that he had never felt before.
The hustle and bustle that was common before the apocalypse was now dead silent. Luo Yuan could not see any signs of life in the desert. Even the weeds that used to be everywhere had disappeared.
Of course, this area belongs to the edge of the antimatter bomb's attack. In other areas, there are still mutant lifeforms surviving tenaciously, but these lifeforms won't survive for long.
The long period of darkness had caused a large number of plants to wither and die. Except for a few plants that had evolved unique survival methods or could survive in the dim light, most of them still could not escape the photosynthesis of the sun.
Without the plants at the bottom and cornerstone of the entire food chain, the entire food chain would completely collapse.
Even in the vast ocean, it was the same.
…
"Ding! Your beast 'Forest Monitor Lizard' has died!"
As he was walking, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his head. Luo Yuan stopped and immediately opened the properties panel.
He saw that the words' Jungle Monitor Lizard 'on the interface had turned completely gray, and at the same time, it quickly dimmed. In just three to four seconds, it had completely disappeared without a trace. He could not help but feel a little dazed, and even stopped in his tracks.
The giant lizard had been following him since the beginning of the apocalypse. It had traveled across the whole of China with him, and had experienced many difficulties along the way to the Reconstruction Area. As time passed, his strength had increased rapidly, and the giant lizard had gradually become useless. Until now, it was no longer of any help to him.
However, he did not expect it to die!
In fact, it was not frozen to death during the winter. During the attack of the antimatter bomb, it was already severely injured by the aftermath of the attack. It was already very tenacious to survive until now. It was just that Luo Yuan had not paid attention to the properties panel all this time, which caused the giant lizard's injury to worsen and eventually died.
Besides that, Luo Yuan noticed that the other two battle beasts, other than the Blue Dragon that was far away from the Reconstruction Area, was still in good condition. King Kong was in a bad condition, and he did not know how long it could last.
He was silent as he looked at the barren mountain in the distance. The two giant beasts were placed there, but since then, he had never seen them again.
In fact, he did not have much affection for the two battle beasts. After all, they were tamed pets that had been tamed by humans for thousands of years before the apocalypse. They were wild and difficult to tame, and their nature of survival of the fittest was ingrained in their bones. If it was not for his strong strength, he would have been killed by them.
However, at this moment, he did not know why, but he felt a little sad.
He hesitated for a while, and then he turned around and flew towards the barren mountain.
Not long after, he landed in a valley.
Not long ago, the forest was still lush, but now it had become a desert. At the same time, its height had been reduced by one-fifth by the shockwave, and it looked a lot shorter.
The two battle beasts were lying on the ground not far away. The giant lizard's body was stiff, and it was completely dead. King Kong was also lying on the ground, dying.
As Luo Yuan walked closer, King Kong seemed to feel something and suddenly raised its head. As soon as it saw Luo Yuan, it suddenly struggled to stand up and whimpered. Its eyes were filled with tears.
It looked very miserable. Its fiery red hair was mottled, and there were wounds all over its body. A piece of its scalp seemed to have been scraped off, revealing its snow-white skull. It was frozen, and its hair was stained with black frozen blood.
As it stood up, the frozen pieces of ice on its body fell off, making a crisp sound.
Looking at King Kong, who was excited to see him, Luo Yuan sighed.
Then, he turned around to look at the giant lizard. Its body had been completely frozen, and the flesh on its body was curled up. It could be seen that it had been severely injured in the disaster not long ago. Coupled with the current cold winter, it had accelerated its death.
He reached out and touched the giant lizard's body. After a while, he slowly stood up.
King Kong stayed not far away, its body swaying and trembling. It was not only because of the cold, but also because it was seriously injured. It was already struggling to stand up.
Luo Yuan touched his pocket and took out a crystal. It was a level eight energy crystal. To prevent the mutated human from following its scent, he had always carried it with him. Now it came in handy.
With a flick of his index finger, the energy crystal shot into King Kong's mouth.
The energy crystal core melted as soon as it entered the king kong's mouth. Before the king kong could react, the crystal core had vanished without a trace. It smacked its lips, but at the next moment, a strong sense of hunger rose in its heart, and its stomach began to twitch.
Not long after, its body seemed to be burning with a ball of fire. Water vapor rose from its body, and it emitted a scorching heat.
Blood flowed rapidly in its body, and the flesh around its wound squirmed, and it quickly began to heal.
The rich active energy emitted by the Class 8 Energy Crystal Core was healing the wounds all over its body at an astonishing speed.
It roared excitedly, its voice like thunder. It was no longer as weak as before.
As the wound healed, the hair that had originally fallen off grew again. However, not long after, it fell off again, and its body became bald.
The evolution had begun.
Its excited roar became painful. The muscles on its body tightened like steel wire, and the veins on its body bulged.
Similar to the previous evolution of the mutated human, this unnatural rapid evolution did not make its body bigger. Instead, it continued to shrink. Luo Yuan could even hear the sound of firecrackers exploding in its body during the process of shrinking.
The intense pain made it pound the ground madly, letting out a shrill roar.
Every hit was like a heavy artillery bombardment. Under its violent power, the hard frozen ground suddenly shattered like glass. Hundreds of tons of sand and boulders flew in all directions at an amazing speed.
In its frenzied venting, its body shrank inch by inch, but in contrast, its power rose steadily.
Before the evolution, its Strength was only 21 points. However, in less than 10 minutes, its Strength had jumped to 25 points, and it was still increasing.
The ground shook violently as if there was an earthquake. Gravel fell from the valleys on both sides of the road. Not long after, one of the valleys collapsed, and there was a landslide.
…
After a full half an hour, the evolution finally stopped.
It was now less than 10 meters tall, and its originally red hair had turned golden. Its green eyes were burning like a ghost fire, and its whole body exuded a violent and fierce aura.
It didn't change much. Its figure was still the same as before. Its shrunken body didn't make it weaker. Instead, it made it look even more ferocious. It looked like a demon god from hell!
