Luo Yuan felt helpless and quickened his pace. When he entered the room, he immediately closed the door before the mutated woman could enter.
The mutated human outside the door was caught off guard. She lightly knocked her head against the door and angrily hissed. It seemed that she was still not satisfied. She flashed her sharp claws and slashed the door a few times in retaliation. A few deep scratches immediately appeared on the door.
However, Luo Yuan did not care about it. In fact, other than the new scratches, the door was already scarred. There were abstract patterns that looked like it had been scratched by a "wild cat". It did not make any difference to have one more scratch or one less scratch.
Perhaps the mutated human had an unforgettable fear of large creatures. Ever since Luo Yuan's body size had increased due to his four-dimensional transformation, the mutated human's attitude towards Luo Yuan had changed for quite some time. She no longer relied on Luo Yuan as much as she used to. She had also developed the habit of sleeping in her own bedroom every night.
However, the good times did not last long. As time passed, the mutated woman gradually adapted to Luo Yuan's new appearance. She began to revert to her old habits and tried to enter his bedroom in the middle of the night.
However, it was not easy for her to develop her independence and Luo Yuan did not want to destroy it.
Except for one time when she had accidentally barged into Luo Yuan's bedroom and allowed him to sleep for one night, Luo Yuan had locked the door every night. No matter how much she scratched the door or screamed, Luo Yuan had ignored her. She had no choice but to give up after a few times.
In fact, such a door could not stop her. Ever since she began to consume level eight energy crystals, her strength had been constantly increasing. Compared to when she first came here, she was no longer the same as before.
According to the system's evaluation, she was already a level seven advanced life form. In terms of strength, even the members of the Special Operation Team (the former members of the Firearms Bureau) could not compete with her.
In fact, the real thing that stopped her was not the door but Luo Yuan's attitude!
After a long period of contact with humans, the mutated woman who was originally a human began to gradually break away from her wild nature. She became more and more humanized and even began to evolve in the opposite direction.
Consuming energy crystals for a long period of time did not cause her to undergo any major changes. In fact, she had even weakened in some aspects.
For example, her scales were becoming smaller, and the texture was softening. Her defense was weakening, and at the same time, the color of her scales was fading, and it was developing into a jade-white color. In the wild, such a color was undoubtedly too conspicuous, and it was obviously not in line with the evolution principles of the apocalypse.
Luo Yuan once guessed that it was due to the stable life and the human environment that they were living in.
The huge difference between her and humans made her subconsciously feel uneasy and uncoordinated. Thus, in the process of evolution, she began to actively imitate humans and evolve. From a certain perspective, this was undoubtedly another form of camouflage.
…
Luo Yuan walked to the armory. He was two meters tall, so he could easily reach the top of the cabinet. When he retracted his hand, there was an iron ball the size of a fist in his hand.
Among them, the Level Eight Energy Crystal Core was sealed inside this perfectly round iron ball.
The reason why the security was so tight was naturally not to make a mountain out of a molehill.
On one hand, it was to isolate the energy crystals from the air and maintain a dry environment. The energy crystal core looked like a crystal, but it was actually very easy to dissolve in water. If it was left in the air, it would quickly become moist and melt, speeding up the loss of energy.
On the other hand, it was to prevent the mutated people from following the smell and finding the energy crystal core.
The smell of the Level Eight Energy Crystal was an indescribable temptation to any living creature. It was the strong instinct of life to evolve. Even Luo Yuan was tempted when he first encountered this kind of energy crystal core.
Of course, it did not affect him now. His body was producing a huge amount of energy every second, so much so that the energy crystal core in his heart had gradually grown to the size of a ping pong ball. It was a few times bigger than all the energy crystals in his hand combined. Even his blood circulation was slightly affected because of it.
If it was not for the fact that the function of his heart had weakened to the point where he could almost abandon it, he would have had to tear his chest open to remove the energy crystal core.
Luo Yuan used his fingernail to draw a circle around the iron ball. His fingernail was obviously much harder than the metal. As his fingernail slid across the surface of the iron ball, countless sparks suddenly burst out from the surface of the iron ball.
He blew off the iron filings, and a circle of scratches that were about two to three millimeters deep appeared on the surface of the iron ball.
"It's done!" he said in his heart.
He held the iron ball with both of his hands and twisted both of his palms in opposite directions. He did not use much strength, of course, but he did not dare to use too much strength in case he accidentally crushed the hollow iron ball.
There was an ear-piercing squeaking sound in the weapon room, and the scratches began to turn red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, the iron ball was twisted open, like an ordinary person twisting open a tomato.
Inside, there were two complete crystals and a transparent sheet.
The hollow iron ball was not thin, it was 20mm thick. However, to Luo Yuan, who had 500 tons of strength, it did not matter whether it was 20mm or 2mm.
"This thin sheet can only be used once."
After he took out the thin sheet, he closed the two halves of the iron ball and pressed it gently. His hands kept kneading it gently and carefully. During the process, a scorching heat was emitted from his palms.
After a while, he stopped.
Luo Yuan looked at it and nodded in satisfaction. The two halves of the iron ball had been glued together again. It was bright red, and there were no burrs on the surface. If he ignored the fingerprints and other flaws, it would look perfectly round.
Luo Yuan walked to the bathroom and cooled the iron ball down with the tap water before putting it back on top of the cabinet.
As soon as he walked out of the room, the mutated human pounced on him impatiently. She grabbed onto his trousers tightly, and her whole body became excited.
"Get lost! Are you going to let me walk again?" Luo Yuan swung his legs and scolded.
The mutated woman pulled on her trousers tightly and turned a deaf ear to Chu Feng's words. She hissed non-stop. She seemed to have smelled the aroma and her whole spirit was somewhat excited.
There was a saying that black eyeballs could not see silver. To the mutated woman, it was the same as energy crystals. She would not let go of the mutated woman even if she was dead. Luo Yuan had no choice but to let her hold on to him and drag him downstairs.
"Who can get five cups of water?"
"Let me do it!" Wang Xiaguang stood up and said.
Zhao Yali was about to stand up but when she saw that Wang Xiaguang had already gone to get the cups, she sat down. She thought that only Chen Jiayi would consume it, but she did not expect everyone to have a share. She muttered, "It was not easy for me to get used to it and I have to do it again. I almost broke the pot when I was cooking last time."
"You're just a pot. I broke the handle of my bedroom door and I haven't fixed it yet!" Wang Xiaguang complained when she came back with a cup of water.
"I was wondering why I kept hearing weird noises at night!" Huang Jiahui joked.
The women immediately burst into laughter.
Wang Xiaguang put down her cup and blushed when she heard that. After all, she was not as experienced as the others. Facing such a dirty joke, she really couldn't take it.
It was all Luo Yuan's fault. She glared at Luo Yuan, who was standing beside her.
The first time Luo Yuan had done it, she had thought that it was nothing serious. Later on, she realized that he was a tireless animal. He would torture her until she was half dead and he would not let her go.
She even suspected that the reason Luo Yuan made them consume the energy crystal every once in a while was to make it more enjoyable.
Luo Yuan did not know what Wang Xiaguang was thinking, so he pretended not to hear Huang Jiahui's joke. He shook his head and said, "You guys don't know how lucky you are. This is the energy core of a level eight mutated beast. I'm afraid no one else has eaten it except you guys!"
Ye Qiuyu, who was standing nearby, looked at them with envy. She was disappointed. This was the door for an ordinary person to become a superhuman. It was the key to changing one's destiny. If this thing were to spread to the outside world, she believed that anyone would go crazy.
As an ordinary person, she had a strong desire to be strong. However, all of this did not belong to her. She was just a maid who was called a private doctor. She had already known her identity before she came here.
She lowered her head and hid her disappointed expression, not letting anyone see it.
"Doctor Ye!"
"Doctor Ye!"
Ye Qiuyu suddenly heard Luo Yuan calling her. She was startled and quickly came back to her senses.
"Give this glass of water to Chen Jiayi!" Luo Yuan said.
"Yes, Mayor Luo!" Mayor Luo! "Ye Qiuyu quickly said respectfully.
"I told you before, just call me Luo Yuan," Luo Yuan said when he saw her look of respect.
"Yes, Sister Ye, you don't have to be like this. We're family." Wang Shishi also tried to persuade her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ye Qiuyu quickly apologized.
"Alright, alright. Call me whatever you want!" Luo Yuan said helplessly. This woman was like a lamb meeting a tiger. Even after such a long time, she was still the same.
Luo Yuan shook his head slightly. He did not know what to say when he saw Ye Qiuyu take the glass of water and run away. The rest of the people looked at each other.
He had a good impression of Ye Qiuyu. She had always been conscientious and diligent at home. Not only did she take care of Chen Jiayi, she also took the initiative to help with the housework.
Perhaps, she was naturally timid!
At this moment, Luo Yuan recalled her absent-minded look just now. He pondered for a while and gave the rest of the energy crystals to another person.
He did not care about the level eight energy crystals which were precious to ordinary people. Moreover, there were still two energy crystals left. Even if one more person were to consume it, it would be enough.
The mutated woman next to Luo Yuan watched as the first glass of water was taken away. Suddenly, she pulled Luo Yuan's trousers even harder. She was so anxious that she hissed and fidgeted. If his trousers were not made from the skin of an interstellar creature, it would have been torn apart by her.
She was impatient and did not have much patience. After waiting for so long with great difficulty, she had already used up all of her patience.
"Brother Luo, don't tempt her. Give it to her first. If you don't give it to her, she'll be mad." Wang Shishi, who had a good relationship with the mutated woman, was worried for her and spoke for her.
"You're so impatient and greedy. I wonder when you'll change. This is for you!" Luo Yuan stared at her and threw a piece of crystal to her. While it was still in the air, a figure quickly jumped up and caught it. She could not wait to throw it into her mouth and ran to a corner to digest it slowly.
Next, everyone was given a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. Soon, their bodies felt like they were on fire.
