"Plop!"
A young girl rushed into the store and fell to the ground. She clutched her chest and gasped for breath.
Her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. Her exquisite white dress was almost soaked in sweat and became translucent. There were large pieces of dust and stains on it.
"Xu Miao?"
Lin Xi knew this girl. She was his classmate. She came from a wealthy family and was beautiful. Many boys were chasing after her.
Her fair white face was full of panic, her eyes also carrying deep alarm. Xu Miao was startled by the sudden voice, jumping up. She grabbed a broom from the side, and only when she discovered that the one who spoke was Lin Xi did she release a breath of relief.
"It's you. You scared me to death … Sorry, I was too nervous."
Xu Miao put down the broom and leaned against the counter. "I know you. You're a boy from my class. Other than me, someone else has escaped … That monster is so scary … By the way, your name is … your name is …"
Seeing the embarrassed look on the girl's face, Lin Xi sighed in his heart.
It seemed that his presence in other people's hearts was really low.
He had no parents, no relatives, and no friends. Now that the monster had come, it could be said that the world was facing the end. Even if he were to die, it would be unknown. No one would shed a single tear for him.
"Lin Xi."
After saying his name, Lin Xi was silent.
Xu Miao smiled awkwardly. She took out a small pink phone and made a call.
"Dad!"
"Yeah … I'm fine. I'm hiding in a store near the school. What? You're coming to pick me up? It's dangerous outside … Okay … I know. Dad, you must be careful. There are many monsters on the street. "
After hanging up, Xu Miao felt a little relieved. Seeing that Lin Xi was silent, she tried to find something to talk about. "I called dad. He's a retired military instructor. He's very powerful. I think he'll be here soon … By the way, did you call your family?"
"I don't have family," Lin Xi said lightly.
"Uh …"
More sweat appeared on Xu Miao's forehead. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly widened with extreme fear as she screamed, "AHHHH …"
Lin Xi's nerves tightened. He turned his head and looked behind him.
Behind him, outside the window of the store, there was a huge, ugly face. It was bald, had no eyebrows, and was bulging out. Its round eyes were like those of a dead fish. This pair of basin-sized eyes was staring at him with a glint in its eyes.
It was the light of greed and thirst when a predator saw its prey!
"Danger!"
Lin Xi tried his best to escape, but he couldn't control his stiff body at all. He could only watch helplessly as a palm the size of a door panel broke through the window, grabbed him, and threw him into the saliva-dripping, smelly mouth …
"Am I going to die?"
For some reason, Lin Xi's heart became calm … It was as if he realized that death wasn't scary at all. It was just that … being eaten by such an ugly monster in front of a girl was really f * cking lame.
The light around him dimmed. Lin Xi understood that this was the giant closing its mouth. In the next second, he would be chewed by the giant's teeth and turned into minced meat, which would then be swallowed along its esophagus.
At the moment of death, a bright, dazzling light suddenly lit up in a dark space. The source of the light was the phone in his pocket.
A line of words appeared on the surface of the screen.
For some reason, Lin Xi, who had his eyes closed and was waiting for death, could clearly see the words flowing on the screen at this moment.
"The human evolution program has been activated. You will die soon. If you want to live, the program will provide you with a chance to change your fate and defeat death. It will give you a chance to transcend the ordinary and evolve. Now, do you want to continue living?"
Please click on your choice:
"Die" or "Live".
No one wanted to die, especially in the mouth of a disgusting monster.
At the moment of life and death, Lin Xi's body suddenly erupted with power. He raised his stiff finger and touched the green word "Live" on the screen of the phone.
"Hum!"
White light surged from the screen and instantly spread out. Everything around him changed, turning into a gray, dark, colorless space.
It seemed to be … a space in a dream?
Countless gray light spots gathered together and finally formed a face, an expressionless face. Every second, this face was constantly changing. It was a man's face, a woman's face, an old man's face, a child's face, and even a monster's face …
The huge face opened its eyes, and a searchlight-like beam of light shot out from its eyes and shone on Lin Xi's body.
"Welcome here."
"This is the gap between dream and reality, spirit and matter, time and space. You can call it the space between fate."
"Only those who have reached a contract in a certain form can come to this place."
"I am the soul of all living beings."
The deep, heavy, and loud voice had a special magnetism as if it could penetrate the soul.
"As an existence that has reached a contract and produced different fates, you will get a chance to randomly draw an ability. The range of the ability includes bloodline, talent, skills, martial arts, spells, and supernatural abilities. The content will come from various anime, games, and movie worlds."
Shocked by the huge face, Lin Xi, who was listening quietly, said in shock, "After the draw, will I become a person with special abilities? And it's random, which means that anything can be drawn? Superman's bloodline, forbidden magic spells, Shu Mountain's sword control technique? "
"Yes. However, the content of the draw will be given a star value according to the value, from One to Nine Stars. The higher the star, the lower the possibility of drawing. Above seven stars, the possibility of drawing is less than one in a thousand."
Lin Xi put away his shocked mood, and then asked, "Just like me, how many others have reached an agreement?"
"Through the human evolution program, those who have reached or are about to reach the space between fate to draw, there will be a total of one hundred thousand people on Earth."
"One hundred thousand? Even if the probability is one in ten thousand, there will still be people who will draw high-level things. Isn't that very unfair? "
"Nothing in the world is purely fair."
The face's voice was heavy, cold, and emotionless. "However, according to the result of the draw, there will be a certain amount of biological energy feedback. One Star will get 9000 points of biological energy, two Stars will get 8000 points, and so on, Nine Stars will get 1000 points."
"What is biological energy?"
"A type of points that can be traded through the human evolution program."
After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Xi took a deep breath and made a decision. "I choose bloodline."
Bloodline was different from other choices. If he drew an inferior bloodline, such as zombies or demons, it would be almost impossible to change. It could be said that his future would be ruined, but he still made such a choice.
Because at the same star level, the potential of bloodline was undoubtedly the greatest!
Some people were conservative, and some liked to take risks.
"Proceeding with random selection … Selection complete. You have drawn the Progenitor Virus bloodline. Evaluation: Five Stars."
"Progenitor Virus?" Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this was the name of a virus in the ancestral zombie game: Resident Evil.
There were many viruses in Resident Evil. T-virus, G-virus, C-virus, Abyss virus, T-Veronica virus, Leech Queen virus, but there was one virus that was the origin of everything.
The Progenitor Virus.
The background story of the game: The Progenitor Virus was extracted from the holy flower 'Stairway of the Sun' in the Ndipaya tribe of West Africa. This virus could promote the evolution of human DNA, allowing the infected to possess superhuman strength, speed, stamina, regeneration, and so on.
However, the super antigen toxins contained within the virus would excessively stimulate the human immune system, causing skin necrosis and a large amount of body fluid loss.
In addition, after losing the skin, the natural bacteria would infect them again, finally causing the entire body to fester and die a miserable death. Even if there were a few survivors, due to the damage to their bodies during the virus infection, they would become zombie-like monsters.
There was only one person who did not change his human appearance after fusing with the Progenitor Virus. That was the big boss of the Resident Evil series: Wilson.
"I won't become a monster, right?" Lin Xi's heart was filled with fear.
"Next, we will begin the bloodline fusion."
The light beam projected from the eyes of the face suddenly turned red – a piercing red. The red light shone on Lin Xi's body, and he immediately felt pain. A pain that penetrated deep into his bones, almost tearing his body apart inch by inch!
Fortunately, the pain quickly disappeared. The light dispersed, and now Lin Xi could clearly feel that there were some changes in his body.
Because of his age, his body was slightly slender. This was the same as before.
However, he could clearly feel that under his skin, there were soft lines and full of tenacity. He lowered his head and looked at his palms. The skin on his hands had a glistening, hazy, jade-like texture. His ten fingernails were as transparent as crystals.
"Progenitor Virus, perfect fusion."
A screen of light appeared in front of Lin Xi. What was displayed was his current body status--
Name: Lin Xi
Race: Homo Evolutis (Biochemical Mutant)
Bloodline: Progenitor Virus (Perfect fusion. Obtain extraordinary strength, speed, agility, physique, resistance, perception, lifespan, recovery, etc … Because the virus has completely fused with the genes, it will not leak, so it is not contagious)
Talent: Evolution (Has a high ability to evolve. When faced with some more extreme situations, the DNA in the body may mutate. In addition, you can absorb the blood of certain creatures to produce DNA evolution. However, there is a risk of genetic collapse.)
(After the DNA successfully evolves, a certain amount of time is needed to stabilize the genes.)
(Hint: Every time you absorb the blood of a creature, you must choose carefully. Do not absorb the blood of inferior creatures. That will weaken your DNA evolution potential.)
Martial Arts: None
Spells: None
Abilities: None
Energy: Biological Energy (After mutation, the cells contain energy that can be converted into heat, kinetic energy, and other forms of energy. Life energy.)
"Luckily, I didn't become a monster, and my abilities have greatly increased. Perfect fusion! Even the big boss Wilson did not have this level of fusion. From the evolution talent, my potential is definitely not low. I made the right choice this time! "
Lin Xi secretly clenched his fists.
"The choice has ended. Those who are about to leave fate, if you don't die, maybe one day in the future, you will still have the chance to come to this place … I look forward to meeting you again …"
"Also, you are called evolvers, not contractors, because what you have obtained in fate is only a seed. A seed that can rely on it to survive the crisis of death and continue to grow stronger."
"No matter what you have obtained, if you develop arrogance, complacency, and stop moving forward, then you will be completely eliminated on the path of evolution."
The face suddenly scattered into light spots and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, everything around him returned to its original state – he was still in the giant's mouth.
Two rows of teeth closed up and down, about to bite Lin Xi into meat paste.
The crisis of death had not been resolved yet!
