Chapter 3, The Turbulent Era

After walking a few hundred meters along the cave, Su stopped at a collapsed area. Behind the mound of earth was an opening barely large enough for a person to pass through. On the other side of the opening lay a subway tunnel that was as complex as a labyrinth, deep, and filled with unknown dangers. Reaching this point meant that the 500 yuan prize was already in his pocket, while on the other side of the opening, a gene-modifying agent was tempting him.

Bang bang bang bang ... Six shots were fired almost simultaneously, the first bullet piercing her neck, while the remaining five bullets traced an arc along her collarbone, completely severing her head from her body

The dull and heavy gunfire occasionally echoed, traveling in waves along the winding corridor towards the distance

Su walked cautiously in the deep cave, his steps light and soft, like a nimble cat moving silently. The thick hooded cloak and the bandages wrapped around his body prevented his scent and body heat from escaping, making it difficult for the dangerous creatures lurking underground, which relied on smell or infrared vision to hunt, to detect his presence

After walking more than ten meters upward, Su Bise's eyes immediately narrowed slightly as a bright ray of sunlight illuminated his face. Having been active in the darkness for a long time, this beam of sunlight made his eyes feel somewhat uncomfortable

The breeding period has been shortened by another ten days. Su Mo calculated, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart grew stronger.

Su suddenly came to a halt, his body rigidly twisting around, and with a reverse motion, he fired three shots!

Su wrapped his cloak tightly around himself, moving silently like a ghost deeper into the passage. The scent of the six living corpses acted like guiding threads, gradually leading Su toward their lair. Judging by the strength of the odor, these living corpses had been out hunting for at least two days.

At the end of the passage, there was almost complete darkness, and even Su's low-light vision could only see five to six meters ahead. In such an environment, lighting was almost tantamount to suicide, and he certainly would not do that

Suddenly, Su, who had been quietly lurking in the darkness, moved! The triangular steel pipe shot out like lightning, piercing through the upper end of the ferocious rat's nose, penetrating its upper and lower jaws, and firmly pinning it to the ground

As Kexi, the daughter of Doctor Roschette, stated, from a genetic perspective, the elderly Doctor Roschette can no longer be considered a human being

Su gazed into the deep passage, his emerald eyes piercing through the endless darkness, searching for traces of the living dead. At this moment, he was primarily a hunter, needing to complete his mission before considering anything else

The survivors began to emerge from various shelters and ruins, gazing in horror at the world that had become unrecognizable. Some thoughtful individuals recalled the speech of Doctor Roschette and managed to locate the safe left behind by him. The safe, which contained the crystallized essence of pre-war technology, remained intact, and the data inside was unharmed

They are unaware that the world shrouded in darkness has always belonged to Su

Ultimately, it is mysticism, a domain of abilities akin to a chicken rib, where almost all indistinct abilities that cannot be classified can be thrown in. The most core ability within mysticism is luck, in its various forms. However, those who invest a significant number of evolution points into mysticism often do not receive the luck they had imagined. They neither discover rare mineral deposits nor acquire immense wealth or superhuman abilities out of thin air, and those who meet untimely ends are no fewer than those specializing in other domains of abilities. There was once a person who indeed discovered a gem vein, yet the outcome was that he was turned into meat paste by greedy mobs. Over time, the number of individuals practicing mysticism has dwindled.

Su Xuxu stood up, no longer paying attention to the living corpse that was futilely trying to pull out the sharp iron cone, and walked directly towards the passage

He held a thick triangular steel pipe with sharp edges in his hand, the front end ground to a very sharp point, making it a terrifying weapon suitable for both slashing and stabbing. A modified rifle was slung across his back, while a handgun was concealed beneath his cloak. His handgun possessed great power but lacked precision; however, in the confined terrain of the cave passages, its power could be significantly amplified.

In his later years, Rothschild believed himself no longer to be human, but rather an apostle of the gods. This belief was particularly pronounced after his genes underwent a series of recombinations, ultimately resulting in a mysterious, stable, and entirely new genome

In this cave, Base N11 has installed several electric lights, illuminating the area within approximately 100 meters of the base. This is a remnant of the last exploration conducted by the base. The lights further in have been damaged, and the base wisely chose not to send additional personnel for repairs and restoration. However, for Su, who possesses dim light vision, even a small amount of light is sufficient to see the surrounding environment clearly

The hall door was suddenly yanked open, producing a loud noise, and almost all the living corpses instinctively turned their gaze towards the entrance, yet the doorway was completely empty

Certainly, after obtaining evolution points, it is also necessary to acquire specific genomes to develop corresponding abilities. In each domain of ability, there are many established capabilities. However, many more abilities remain shrouded in mystery. The evolution points gained through combat often come with new abilities, which most of the time differ from known capabilities. As a result, many warriors regard their abilities as their greatest secret. When two ability users encounter each other, there is an extremely small chance of acquiring the opponent's abilities after defeating them.

Su turned around and looked towards the source of the four living corpses. At the end of the passage, indeed, two more living corpses appeared. Strangely, these two were jointly carrying the corpse of an adult ferocious gopher. From their crimson eyes and the drool continuously flowing from their mouths, Su could tell that they were indeed hungry. However, they did not reach for the food in their hands. This was completely inconsistent with Su's understanding; living corpses have always existed solely to satisfy their hunger. They have no concept of restraint. If enough food were thrown to them, they would likely eat until they burst. Not only these two living corpses, but judging from the emaciated bellies of the four living corpses that had just rushed over, they too were suffering from hunger.

Su is now walking in the dimly lit corridor. Occasionally, glowing moss can be seen in the corridor, along with sewage that emits a faint light, which is sufficient for his low-light vision to function.

Su quietly observed the surrounding environment, moving silently. He picked up a few rusty iron pieces and a thin iron wire, then stealthily retreated to the passage. He stretched the thin wire across the center of the passage and arranged the iron pieces on the ground. Only then did he pick up one of the iron pieces and roll it into a conical shape, quietly approaching the train.

Infrared vision has always been the next ability that Su desires to acquire. The capabilities of the Zombie Queen in this regard are evidently far superior to those of ordinary zombies, perfectly aligning with Su's needs. As long as Su accumulates 16 evolution points, he can evolve infrared vision by utilizing the genetic specimen and ocular structure of the Zombie Queen.

In one minute, this nest of aggressive moles will be completely exterminated. Aggressive moles are creatures with a very strong sense of territoriality; with this nest of aggressive moles present, there should not be a second nest of moles within a one-kilometer radius.

Su swiftly moved a few steps, positioning himself in the center of the passage where the ferocious mole had appeared. He crouched slightly on his front legs, planted his hind feet firmly on the ground, and raised the steel pipe horizontally, aiming it at the deep, dark passage. Almost at the moment the steel pipe was leveled, a sudden gust of foul wind surged from the passage, and a larger, more robust male ferocious mole suddenly leaped out from the darkness, lunging at Su in mid-air

After a brief adjustment, Su stepped onto the ground. The "METRO" sign at the top of the stairs remained quite clear, not having completely faded with the passage of time

Evolution points are a common term in turbulent times. The so-called evolution points actually refer to the space left for new genes after genetic fluctuations. More evolution points imply more space, which also means the ability to accommodate stronger new capabilities. There are various ways to obtain evolution points, with most naturally occurring evolution points having unknown origins. Additionally, the controllable methods for humans mainly fall into two categories: genetic modification agents and combat.

Accompanied by bursts of growls, the undead charged towards the end of the carriage with agility rivaling that of hunting dogs. The foremost undead leaped up, crashing through the shattered window, forcing half of its body out of the opening. As its head emerged from the window, the undead eagerly looked around, trying to locate the traces of its prey

This is the left hand of God!" Rothschild gazed at his left hand and uttered his second famous saying known to the world

The male rat charged with great force, falling from the air and sliding several meters on the rugged ground before finally reaching Su.

A faint rustling sound echoed from the cave, and a ferocious mole, measuring nearly one meter in length, emerged. Its disproportionately large nose twitched with its nostrils facing upward, while its small eyes appeared dim and devoid of luster, indicating significant regression. The ferocious mole and its relatives, the ground-dwelling ferocious rats, were nearly indistinguishable over a decade ago, but they have now almost diverged into two distinct species

Through classification, summarization, systematization, and a series of disputes, various clearly defined and stable abilities have ultimately been categorized into five major domains: Arcane Arts, Combat Domain, Perception Domain, Psionic Domain, and Mysticism.

At some point, Su's right hand had gripped a tungsten steel dagger, painted black to obscure its reflection. It was this very dagger that had completely sliced open the side of the living corpse in the instant they brushed past each other

On the very day of the press conference for the doctor's degree, war broke out without any warning

The steel pipe that had fallen inside the rat's body was no longer intended for use by Su. He fumbled along the tunnel wall for a while and pulled out a piece of wire. This was part of the lighting circuit installed by the base, which was now abandoned. Su cut off a two-meter length of wire and stripped the paint from the middle, exposing the tough alloy strands inside. He wrapped both ends of the wire around his hands and continued walking into the darkness

Su is certainly not an ordinary human. With third-level abilities in the realm of perception and second-level abilities in mysticism, Su himself is uncertain whether he can still be considered human. After eliminating that nest of ferocious rats, Su felt his genes stirring within him once again. He has already accumulated three gene evolution points; perhaps by taking a walk through the subway tunnel, he could obtain another new evolution point.

The wind blowing through the subway tunnel fluctuates in strength, accompanied by a faint rustling sound. The air is heavily polluted, with a low oxygen content, making it unsuitable for ordinary human survival. This is also one of the reasons why Base N11 cannot explore the subway tunnel more deeply on its own.

Su gazed at the end of the corridor, where a half-constructed sand fort stood, but fortunately, there were no living corpses guarding it. Behind the sand fort was a large room, with flickering firelight seeping through the partially closed door. From within, the low and high roars of the living corpses could be heard intermittently.

With a soft thud, a conical sharp piece of metal pierced from below, effortlessly entering its throat and even severing a significant portion of the cervical vertebrae

Su's body shrank slightly, and he gracefully slipped out from the embrace of the living corpse, darting out through the main door and vanishing into the deep corridor. Meanwhile, a wound approximately one inch long had appeared at the heart of the living corpse, a gaping hole that seemed bottomless.

These newly emerged intelligent mutated creatures often have a leader whose intellect and strength far exceed that of their kind. The best way to deal with them is to eliminate that leader in one fell swoop; the remaining mindless corpses, being far less intelligent, will naturally fall into disarray. A group of creatures that fight solely on instinct poses a danger that is vastly different from that of an organized army.

The living corpses in the hall are frantically howling as they rush towards the door

Ding!

Su gently exhaled, a faint mist of water escaping from beneath the bandages. He carefully pulled down the bandage on his face slightly, revealing a sculpted, straight nose tip, the exposed skin glistening like ivory. In the dark corridor, the unique stench of the living dead permeated the air. The odor in this section of the corridor was particularly strong, clearly indicating it was an area frequently traversed by the living dead. Ordinary people would find it impossible to navigate such a heavily scented space. This was also a method for the living dead to delineate their territory.

Ordinary people would find it impossible to navigate such a heavily scented space. This was also a method for the living dead to delineate their territory.

In the darkness outside the door, a drop of bright red blood flew in, landing on the floor of the hall and forming a small crown shape.

Su slowly pulled out the steel pipe and turned the ferocious rat over, realizing that it was a female rat. Male ferocious rats are accustomed to acting alone, while if a female rat appears, there is always a male rat following behind her.

With a crisp click, Su disengaged the safety of his pistol. He walked past the living corpse on the ground, which was already struggling in unconsciousness, without paying it any mind. He glanced up briefly, then leapt lightly, his body rising gracefully over two meters as he ascended to the roof of the abandoned train.

Su loosened his grip and quickly retreated a few steps, his posture light and swift, as if gliding over water

He exerted force beneath his feet, increasing his speed by three points, and in an instant, he traversed the ten-meter-long passage. Su seemed to transform into a gust of wind, brushing past the four living corpses that were rapidly approaching in the corridor

Amidst the sound of clicks, Su Xian filled the magazine of his pistol with bullets before navigating through the zombies, carefully observing them. The zombies are remarkably resilient creatures; even if most of their bodies are blown apart, it remains uncertain whether they could still leap up to bite.

The inherent ferocity of the undead momentarily stunned them, and an instinctive atmosphere of fear began to spread throughout the hall. They hesitated, with some already starting to avoid the direction of the main door

Su looked around and saw that the west was a vast, desolate wilderness, while the east was filled with countless skyscrapers hidden in the mist. It appeared to be a subway station located on the outskirts of the city. There were no sufficiently threatening mutated creatures in the vicinity. This subway station and the surrounding area should be within the hunting grounds of the zombies in the hall, and it is unlikely that other creatures would inhabit the area. Although the zombies fear sunlight and rarely move on the surface, the night belongs to them; when they are extremely hungry, they will wander through the city shrouded in darkness.

Although the zombies fear sunlight and rarely move on the surface, the night belongs to them; when they are extremely hungry, they will wander through the city shrouded in darkness

Seeing her expression, which resembled that of a startled fawn, Su Kou's finger on the trigger hesitated slightly. He halted his forward momentum, and the muzzle of the gun began to lower.

Su bent down and gently placed the living corpse on the ground. From the sensation at his fingertips, he could discern that the muscles of this living corpse were stronger and more resilient than any he had encountered before, and the tip of the iron pipe had been meticulously sharpened. It seemed to be a sentinel, and the only comforting thought was that the living corpse did not yet understand the need to place two sentinels.

Fifty years have passed since the war, and many of the living corpses today are already in their second or even third generation. Compared to their predecessors, they are swifter, stronger, and better able to adapt to harsh environments. Many of these living corpses, surviving in the subway tunnels, have evolved infrared vision to cope with the often completely dark surroundings

The path was rugged and uneven, with some areas seemingly intentionally littered with empty cans. These crude traps posed no real threat to Su, but they did slow down his movements

Suddenly, a strange and sharp whistling sound echoed in the air. The iron pipe used by the living corpse flew into the hall at an incredible speed, piercing through the bodies of three living corpses in succession before finally losing its momentum. With a clang, it fell to the ground, still bouncing a few times.

Su's beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly; for him, these ferocious moles seemed to have become more resilient than they were a few months ago. Such a rate of mutation made him feel quite uncomfortable

Su took out a map and filled in the blank areas with the terrain of the passages in this area, marking the location of the mouse nest, and then carefully put the map away

Su lightly tapped on the side of the carriage. The sound of the tapping was not loud, but to the keen hearing of the living dead, any noise that was discordant with the surrounding environment was as thunderous as a storm. The two living dead immediately ceased their search for food, turning in unison to catch a glimpse of a figure disappearing outside the window. In the eyes of the living dead, which were reduced to mere animal instincts, anything that moved was a delectable prey

All living beings, including humanity itself, are undergoing rapid changes. The evolutionary and mutation processes that took thousands of years in the old era have been condensed into just a few years in the new era. The understanding of the world that humanity has accumulated over thousands of years is collapsing at an astonishing speed

With a creak, he suddenly pulled open the heavy iron door and rushed into the lair of the living dead

Through the car window, two living corpses can be seen in the outer compartment, searching frantically for something to eat

Su casually turned his hand, and the iron pipe was in his grasp. Then, he threw himself into the embrace of the living corpse, surprisingly pushing this creature, which was a full head taller than him, backward at great speed, until its back heavily crashed against the wall beside the door

Bang! Bang! Two thunderous gunshots shattered the tranquility of the subway tunnel. Inside the train carriage, two living corpses were shot in the head, the tremendous force of the bullets nearly blew their entire heads off

Sixty years ago, at the twilight of the old era, Dr. Roschette, an expert in the fields of genetics and biology, approached science and himself with equal fervor and madness. Unable to find enough volunteers, or rather experimental subjects, to implement his research findings in genetics, he turned his gaze upon himself

This indicates that these zombies have formed a community with clear divisions of labor and distinct social classes, which is entirely different from the zombies that Su shot in the abandoned train. Su encountered a hunting team

Over the course of ten years, countless gene fragments were implanted into his body. These genes interacted, mixed, and mutated. By the later stages, the body of Doctor's Degree had transformed into a natural battlefield of genes, where innumerable genes were constantly battling, mutating, and attempting to eliminate or control their opponents. As a carrier of genes, Doctor's Degree's body could harbor hundreds of lethal viruses at any given moment

He discerned the scent at the tip of his nose, as hundreds of data points flowed through Su's consciousness like water, ultimately pinpointing the odor of the six living corpses lying on the ground

Su suddenly dashed forward two steps, then leaped up, pressing himself against the corner where the wall meets the ceiling, and then, like a gecko, silently glided forward

Su stood still, gently pulling up the bandage on his face to cover his nose, and then slowly walked towards the lair of the living dead. He walked faster and faster, and by the time he reached the door, he was almost running

The brief war ended as abruptly as it had begun

Su raised his right leg and stepped on the head of the male rat. The male rat squeaked in agony, struggling, but its head could not be lifted from the ground at all. As soon as it exerted itself, the unbearable pain would shoot through its body, pierced by the steel pipe. Even after sustaining such a severe injury, it continued to struggle for more than a minute before finally ceasing to breathe

Su closed his eyes, and the faint rustling sound in his mind outlined a vivid image of living corpses. They wandered aimlessly, their dark red eyes hungrily scanning everything around them. Unlike the zombies often depicted in novels of the old era, living corpses are slender, agile, and move even more swiftly than humans. Their powerful muscles and flexibility allow them to easily climb and move along walls and even ceilings. From a genetic perspective, living corpses can still be considered human, while those high-level warriors who have undergone multiple genetic modifications are further removed from pure humanity.

Su Xuxu retracted the handgun

The instantaneous high-temperature flame flow and shockwave destroyed everything, including the Doctor's degree, which was thought to possess the body of a deity. However, the brief yet shocking statement of the Doctor's degree has been transmitted via radio waves to every corner of the world

Everything is quite clear now. The four active corpses at the front are dedicated to hunting and combat, while the two older corpses at the back are responsible for menial tasks such as carrying. This is a very well-structured division of labor, where the stronger and more combat-capable corpses receive more food and are better clothed. The older corpses are relegated to menial work and do not receive a sufficient amount of food. More importantly, these corpses are no longer entirely driven by instinct; they have begun to understand moderation. The older corpses are relegated to menial work and do not receive a sufficient amount of food. More importantly, these corpses are no longer entirely driven by instinct; they have begun to understand moderation

The term "pseudo-magic" refers to a collective of various energy manipulation abilities. In honor of the late Doctor's Degree, who was once a fanatic of the magical arts, this earliest discovered domain of abilities was named pseudo-magic. The combat domain encompasses all types of offensive and defensive combat abilities, as well as mobility skills. The perception domain, as the name suggests, includes all abilities related to detecting both known and unknown worlds. The psychic domain consolidates various manipulation abilities, among which the most common and popular are the operations of various weapons, ranging from basic cold weapon handling, ordinary firearm control, and sniper specialization to advanced command of complex weapon systems.

A low growl emanated from the throat of the undead as it suddenly turned its head! However, before it could react, the sharp serrated edge of the dagger in Su's right hand had already sliced through its throat, the force so powerful that it nearly severed the entire neck.

These living corpses involuntarily reminded him of the alpha wolf in the valley; the moment before its death, the alpha wolf's eyes, filled with astonishment, confusion, anger, and curses, were still etched deep in his heart. These living corpses had evidently formed a clear division of labor, completely different from the chaotic and primitive organization of the rotting wolves. Among the living corpses, there must be a leader endowed with intelligence. For Su, this was certainly not a good thing. In the underground passage, living corpses were already difficult monsters to deal with, and the danger posed by organized living corpses increased exponentially.

In the underground passage, living corpses were already difficult monsters to deal with, and the danger posed by organized living corpses increased exponentially.

The steel pipe remained motionless, and taking advantage of the violent momentum of the gopher, the sharp tip of the steel pipe deeply pierced into the gopher's throat, traversing through its internal organs, almost breaking out from the anus.

In the entire hall, only the Queen of the Living Dead did not look towards the door, but instead gazed at Su. Her mouth suddenly gaped open, as if startled, and her eyes were filled with terror, completely unable to make any movement

Thus, it is quite ironic that in this tumultuous era, killing can indeed make one powerful

Bang bang bang bang! Once again, the sound of gunfire, almost a continuous series of four shots, echoed as Su rushed to the end of the train. Without the slightest pause, he leaped down from the roof of the car. In the air, there were several more soft clicks, and by the time Su's feet touched the ground again, the bullets in his handgun had been reloaded.

Su half-knelt at the cave entrance, listening intently.

Thus, this brand new era is referred to as the Era of Turmoil

Ten years later, in this tumultuous era, various abilities have emerged like mutated insects. Some of these abilities are quite stable, while others have very short-lived effects, and some can even lead to fatal consequences. Moreover, it has been discovered that those who survive in the wild and among the ruins, constantly exposed to radiation, begin to exhibit a variety of abilities without the need for artificial genetic recombination.

Whether in turbulent times or in the old era, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The cost of exterminating a nest of organized living corpses has far exceeded that of a basic gene evolution potion. A small hunting team has encountered six living corpses, so the number of these living corpses is likely to have surpassed thirty as indicated in the *book*. Killing so many living corpses alone would already be sufficient to earn an evolution point

The nose is the most vulnerable spot of the ferocious mouse, which screams frantically, its four short, sharp claws desperately clawing at the ground, sending fragments of stone flying, and in an instant, it digs a pit into the hard rock

At that time, the left hand of the doctor’s degree could generate an extraordinarily high temperature, sufficient to ignite alcohol. This is a temperature that the human body cannot withstand at all; however, the left hand of the doctor’s degree showed no harm afterwards

Suning quietly watched the living corpse, remaining completely still. The living corpse stumbled forward a few meters before collapsing.

Turning a corner, Su lightly leaped down, silently landing behind a living corpse squatting in the corner. The corpse held an iron pipe in its hand, its eyes emitting a dim red glow, fixated on the deep passageway

The living corpses in the hall finally reacted, their eyes blood-red, screaming hysterically, and charging towards Su with madness.

This is a hall measuring several hundred square meters, within which more than thirty zombies are scattered about. Some are lying down to rest, while a few others are in a corner setting up a large pot, cooking the flesh of ferocious rats. In the corner of the hall, a pair of zombies are panting and roaring, busy mating. In the center of the hall stands a prominent large bed, upon which sits a zombie, identifiable as female by her features. She is surprisingly dressed in a complete set of a pencil skirt suit typical of professional women from a bygone era. Her skin does not exhibit the large dark blue-black spots and extensive wrinkles characteristic of other zombies. Her skin can even be described as somewhat smooth, and her appearance resembles that of a professional woman from the old days. Compared to other zombies, she has a slightly petite figure, sits upright, and her crossed legs are the epitome of an office lady.

Su's pupils rapidly constricted, forming a bizarre star-shaped cross. This cross aligned perfectly in a straight line with the dark muzzle of the handgun, fixed at the center of the living corpse queen's forehead

The ghouls suddenly stirred, their overwhelming thirst for fresh blood overpowering the fear within them. One after another, they rushed out of the hall, hastening down the corridor in pursuit of the depths of the underground passage.

Su retreated like a gliding surface of water, just managing to evade the attack range of the living corpse. Then, with swift and delicate steps, he charged towards a robust living corpse stationed at the door, suddenly extending his left hand and forcefully grasping the iron pipe that was swung down at him

As those who survived in various bases gradually awakened from the aura of their abilities, they were horrified to discover that everything in this world was no longer stable, including genes, the genes of all living beings

Look, a row of shadows flits past the barbed wire; it is a rabbit, relying on its speed to evade predators. With red eyes, long ears, and a gentle temperament, this rabbit cannot guarantee that its speed, which is faster than that of a leopard today, will remain the same next year.

Indeed, the distinctions between various domains are not as clear-cut, rigid, or insurmountable in reality. As time passes, more capabilities continue to emerge, and many newly developed abilities are difficult to categorize into a specific domain. Furthermore, some abilities require the collaboration of multiple domains to manifest.

Su extended his hand and gently patted its shoulder

In the following year, the ability to control high temperatures became increasingly stable, and the temperature that could be condensed continued to rise. The doctoral degree documented the initially stable genome and insights into high temperature control, dividing the data into three parts: two were preserved, and one was prepared for publication to announce its achievements to the world

Ahead in the passage, the chaotic sounds gradually grew louder, and the distinct stench of decay from the undead became more pronounced. Turning a corner, one could see a train tilted there, blocking more than half of the entire passage. The subway cars had long since rusted beyond recognition, with their bodies gaping open and the windows shattered into pieces.

However, his bad mood did not prevent him from using a metal wire to ensnare a ferocious gopher that was charging at him. With a pull and a shake, the gopher was sent flying back, blood gushing from its neck. After crashing against the tunnel wall, it could no longer rise. The bloodied metal wire then skimmed the ground, and seven or eight young gophers instinctively opened their mouths to bite. However, as the metal wire vibrated slightly, their heads were almost severed in two.

I hate clever things. Su straightened his body and thought silently

With a snap, the ferocious rodent exerted nearly all its strength to close its massive jaws, biting down hard on the steel pipe. Although its incisors could gnaw through almost any rock, they were ultimately no match for this reinforced steel. With a crunch, the steel immediately bent, while the male rodent's teeth shattered one after another

Perhaps Base N11 is already aware that there are intelligent undead moving within this passage, which is why they are willing to spend such a great cost to have it cleared. Su recalled the sincere smiles of Turner and Tony, and a shadow of unease passed through his heart. However, he quickly set this matter aside. After passing through too many settlements, Su had learned not to hold any expectations for anything.

At this point, the mission of Base N11 has finally been completed

Ten minutes later, Su slowly walked into the hall. The hall, once a waiting area of a subway station, was now occupied by the living dead, and of course, there would be no more subways or waiting passengers. Su approached the large bed in the center, paused at the bedside, and picked up a magazine that was placed on the nightstand, casually flipping through its pages. It was the May 1997 issue of "FASHION," clearly preserved with great care.

All human abilities begin here

Su once again confirmed that there were no dangerous creatures close to the entrance of the tunnel. He then took out his pistol, gently leaped into the subway passage, and made another long jump, swiftly moving along the steel tracks while crouching. He advanced at a rapid pace, making no sound beneath his feet, and never lost his balance on the narrow steel rails.

The zombie straightened its neck, let out a fierce roar, and then suddenly exerted its strength. Its hard feet, now elongated with long claws, stomped down on the ground, rushing around the corner of the passage like a gust of wind

The genes in her eyes have been extracted by Su

Even in the dark and rugged caves, Su Youbi's keen eyes and extensive experience could discern the traces left by the ferocious gophers. Before long, he found the nest of the ferocious gophers. Inside the nest, there were more than thirty gophers of various sizes; the larger ones were nearly adult, while the smaller ones had yet to open their eyes, indicating that these gophers belonged to different litters. Given the three-month maturity period of the ferocious gophers, it can be inferred that they typically give birth to a litter approximately once a month.

Given the three-month maturity period of the ferocious gophers, it can be inferred that they typically give birth to a litter approximately once a month.

Su set the magazine down and walked over to the corpse of the Zombie Queen, gently brushing his right hand across her face. The red glow in the Zombie Queen's eyes gradually faded, and the luster in her pupils completely disappeared. Su took out a delicate aluminum box measuring 10 centimeters in length, carefully opened it, and retrieved a scalpel from within. He then removed the Zombie Queen's eyes and preserved them in the aluminum box

The almost flying corpse suddenly really took off from the ground! It swung back and forth violently in the air before heavily falling down from the wire. As soon as it hit the ground, it immediately howled in pain! On the ground, several sharp metal pieces with points facing upward had deeply pierced its back, while its chest was almost sliced open by the wire that was suspended in mid-air.

However, the fact that the other zombies cautiously dared not approach this bed, along with the brighter red glow in her eyes compared to the usual zombies, indicates that she is indeed the queen of this lair

This document pertains to the first-level ability of the class of spell-like domains: Embryo of Flame

Su ascended the staircase of the hall until he was blocked by a wire mesh gate. He cleared the debris that was obstructing the gate, then shot and broke the already rusted iron lock on the door, finally pushing open the wire mesh gate

Three living corpses fell to the ground in response to gunfire. Another living corpse swiftly turned around, roaring as it lunged towards Su

Su took out the map and made a mark at the location of the subway station, indicating safety. Meanwhile, in Su's memory area, a precise and accurate map was retrieved, with the corresponding regions gradually lighting up. As Su's gaze swept across, parts of a large city's outline gradually emerged.

The Queen of the Living Dead suddenly had her eyes shine with a dazzling red light, revealing two fangs about an inch long, and lunged at an extraordinary speed, faster than an ordinary living corpse! Her mouth, twisted to an extreme, contorted her entire face beyond recognition

At the moment the door was opened, Su suddenly bent down and exerted force, propelling his body forward several meters in an instant, as if he had teleported, and he had already flashed to the center of the hall. At that moment, the zombies turned to look at the doorway, but naturally saw nothing. Just as the zombies were in a daze, Su charged forward another three meters

"Genes determine everything." This is a famous quote by Maxim Roschette, who holds a doctorate.

Su's eyes emitted a faint greenish glow, which fluctuated with the changes in ambient light, causing the surroundings in the corridor to become increasingly clear. This was the ability known as low-light vision, which manifested at the third stage of visual enhancement within the realm of perception.

The two live corpses carrying the ferocious gopher were noticeably weaker than the four live corpses in front of them. Moreover, from Su's perspective, having dealt with live corpses on numerous occasions, these two live corpses appeared to be older, belonging to a stage where they still had some mobility, but their strength had begun to decline significantly. What caused Su's emerald-colored pupils to constrict was that the clothing on the four live corpses in front was evidently more abundant and sturdier than that of the latter two. Furthermore, there was little difference among the four live corpses.

How can a zombie not eat the food right in front of it

The other living corpse, blocked in the carriage, had long lost its patience. It roared, grabbing the leg of the living corpse in front and forcefully pulling it back into the carriage. The sharp glass of the window frame cut deep gashes into the body of the former living corpse, causing dark red blood mixed with entrails to flow down. However, neither of the living corpses cared. The one with a pierced throat was nearing the end of its life, while the other hurriedly squeezed out of the window, just in time to see Su's silhouette disappear around the corner

At a corner, Su suddenly stopped, drawing herself back into her cloak, slowly fading into the darkness

At this moment, the once mad Roschette, now honored as the Father of the Domain of Capability, has opened a door with his divine left hand, increasing the odds for humanity's survival and continuation in a harsh world. However, even now, people remain unaware whether the path beyond this door leads to heaven or hell

Bang! Su put down the smoking handgun and walked towards the two corpses that could no longer stand. This time, he missed his shot; what was intended for the forehead hit the chest instead, forcing him to take a follow-up shot. At a distance of over 10 meters, the accuracy of the modified handgun became a significant issue, and this time, his luck did not play a substantial role, failing to resolve the problem with a single shot

A glimmer of cold light suddenly flashed in Su's blue eyes, and with a sudden burst of strength, he moved along the train at a speed far exceeding that of a living corpse, like lightning! Even at such a speed, as he bent forward and sprinted, he hardly made a sound. Looking back, he appeared like a wisp of black mist gradually receding into the distance

Su's left hand gripped the upper end of the steel pipe tightly, and though his arm appeared slender, it was as unyielding as a rock. The ferocious rat, severely injured in a vital area, could not endure even a minute; its body convulsed violently before it lay motionless on the ground

The issue is that, immersed in this deep and quiet corridor, gunfire can be heard from a great distance, which is tantamount to announcing to the monsters within a few kilometers, I have arrived

The living corpses, composed of flesh and blood, are fundamentally no match for gunpowder and metal. At such close range, regardless of where they are hit, a large hole approximately twenty centimeters in diameter will appear on the body of the living corpse.
