Chapter Nine, Five Times

When vision reaches five times, human eyesight will possess dynamic capture ability, which is known as "dynamic vision"

After returning safely, Lin Chao immediately went back to his room, took off all his clothes and the magazine wristbands, and then took out a flying knife to sharpen the surface crystals of the multi-evolution energy meter in his hand

This is not an exaggeration; even an ordinary person can determine the location of certain objects by smell. For example, if a banana is placed to your left and your eyes are covered, you would still be able to guess where the banana is. However, Lin Chao's sense of smell is five times that of an average human, not only covering a broader range but also possessing a significantly higher level of discrimination.

Ah!

Five times vision is a threshold

What is the situation?

In battle, dynamic vision can clearly capture every movement of the enemy

At this moment, Lin Chao could determine the positions of the decomposing bodies in the neighboring house and several rooms downstairs solely by his sense of smell, as well as the arrangement of the refrigerators and kitchens in those households, including the locations of the beds and the scattered clothes on the floor, all of which he could sense through his olfactory perception

A keen sense of smell not only allows one to detect faint odors but also enables the determination of the source of the scent based on the direction from which it comes

Uncertain how much time had passed, Lin Chao felt the heat within his body gradually dissipate. He did not know whether it was his body adapting or his nervous system becoming numb. When he opened his eyes again, he immediately noticed that the entire world appeared different, as if it had been washed clean after the rain, exceptionally clear. That familiar feeling reminiscent of his past life returned to him once more, and this evolved vision made him feel very warm and familiar.

Lin Chao suspected that he was seeing things. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a small box forged from black metal, only the size of a baby's fist, with the surface engraved with strange and chaotic dark golden lines

As the claw was about to land on Lin Chao's shoulder, his body suddenly shifted to the side. While evading the claw, the iron rod in his hand had already been raised and was brought down onto the several bloody scratches on its waist. The entire movement was fluid and seamless, as if it had been anticipated from the very beginning

Enter into the stomach

Time passes second by second, as if it has been hundreds of years long

However, now he possesses multiple sources of evolutionary energy. Even if he becomes infected with a virus, he can still utilize the evolutionary energy to become an evolved being before turning into a corpse. Once he becomes an evolved being, new antibodies will emerge within his body, granting immunity to all viruses, unless the brain is severely infected, in which case he would turn into a corpse; other wounds would be inconsequential

Lin Chao gripped the iron rod, using stillness to counter movement. At the moment the golden dog leaped towards him, he saw the opening exposed beneath its belly and immediately swung the iron rod down!

Fled in defeat for the second time

The life energy within the crystal is extremely viscous, resembling mucus, and it slides down through the cracks, flowing into Lin Chao's mouth

Apart from visual evolution, Lin and *Tu* Shuchao's other senses have also evolved to about five times that of a normal person. His ears can hear the subtle sound of the wind outside the window, as well as the sound of footsteps scraping against the ground when a decaying corpse wanders through the community

Lin Chao was not flustered. If this golden dog were in its prime, he would have been somewhat apprehensive. However, it had already suffered severe injuries, and its physical responses and strength were inevitably somewhat delayed. Moreover, its wounds were too extensive, representing its weakness. As long as he struck at its wounds, he could easily drive it away.

Lin Chao glanced at it twice and felt it was somewhat strange, but this was not a place for research. He stuffed the small black box into his pocket and then returned to the community.

His sense of smell can distinctly detect the scent of fragrant sweat on Lin Shiyu next door, as well as the odors from the neighboring house and several rooms downstairs

However, to Lin Chao's surprise, when the body had burned halfway, a dark object suddenly fell from the chest area of the dangerous species

The golden dog was instantly enraged, baring its teeth and slightly lunging forward. Lin Chao immediately raised his stick to strike, but unexpectedly, upon seeing the iron rod, the golden dog trembled slightly, lowered its head, let out a low growl, and turned to flee.

However, his tenacious willpower prevented him from falling into a coma, and he could clearly feel that within the flowing heat throughout his body, there seemed to be countless small insects crawling, causing an unbearable itch

Avoiding several decaying corpses along the way, Lin Chao quickly arrived at the cleared building and took the elevator back to the 18th floor

Lin and the bookstore did not pay any attention, yet continued to press forward step by step

If this claw takes hold, it is likely that the entire arm could be torn off

Play skills with me

Lin Chao immediately lifted it up, tilting his head back and opening his mouth

Unimaginable heat, as if one is immersed in a sea of fire

Only by clearly observing the movements can one evade them. If Lin Chao were to fight that golden dog again, he would be able to prevent it from even touching the hem of his clothes. This is the terrifying aspect of dynamic vision

However, these are merely basic physical attributes. In terms of physicality alone, they are equivalent to a special type of corpse. However, the intelligence of this special corpse is very low, and under the same physical conditions, Lin Chao can easily defeat it.

Lin Chao felt as if he was on the brink of madness. When he first underwent evolution, it was nowhere near as painful, as he had only received a special life energy, and the transformation of his body was far less exaggerated.

Extraordinary vision

Bang

An ordinary person would retract their hand in pain after being burned by flames, yet at this moment, Lin Chao felt as though he was being continuously burned, and from the inside out

At a glance

As soon as Lin Chao swallowed the icy life energy, he felt a surge of heat flowing from his stomach throughout his body. This heat continued to rise in temperature, ultimately becoming like a raging fire, threatening to incinerate him into ashes

Watching the golden dog leave, Lin Chao wanted to chase after it but could not catch up. He turned back and completely incinerated the corpse of the dangerous creature to prevent it from being consumed by mutated beings. The massive amount of virus contained in this corpse serves as a super catalyst for mutations and biological entities, enabling them to accelerate their evolution

This black object is square-shaped, and it turns out to be a ... ? ... a small black box ?

He suspected that he would spontaneously combust at any moment

However

Prior to this, Lin Chao would avoid any possibility of injury, refraining from any risky actions, as any injury would mean the risk of infection

The golden dog seemed to be intimidated by Lin Chao's imposing presence. Coupled with the fact that it had not gained any advantage earlier and had instead been painfully struck by that seemingly magical stick, it was already feeling some fear. It instinctively took two steps back, growling softly as if to threaten Lin Chao not to come any closer

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and remained silent

Just as the iron rod was about to strike, the golden dog unexpectedly twisted its body in mid-air, forcefully altering its direction slightly. It raised a paw to claw at Lin Chao's shoulder. If Lin Chao's rod were to insist on landing beneath its belly, it would be struck by this claw

Of course, one cannot avoid sustaining some injuries oneself, after all, the physical constitution of this golden retriever is equivalent to five times that of a human

The golden dog stared at the dangerous corpse of the species at Lin Chao's feet, its eyes filled with bloodthirsty ferocity, and it quickly lunged forward with a low growl

The golden dog let out a painful howl, immediately retreating a few steps after hitting the ground. The wounds on its waist had not yet healed, and with the impact of this blow, blood immediately spurted out, the intense pain nearly causing it to lose its balance

Now, Lin Chao is completely unafraid of injury; even when encountering special corrupted corpses, he dares to fight back!

An eye for an eye!

Lin Chao was somewhat speechless, not expecting this golden retriever to be so timid, having been frightened by just one hit

Lin Chao estimated that his eyesight was at least five times that of an ordinary person

Lin Chao was somewhat surprised; he did not expect that after the previous battle with the dangerous species, this dog had actually become clever, no longer foolishly using all its strength to leap and pounce, but instead reserving some energy to adjust its posture!

Hot! Pain! Itch!

What truly concerns Lin Chao are the two special evolutionary abilities attached to this multiple evolutionary energy

The severity of the injury was entirely within expectations; Lin Chao did not pay it any mind. He tightened his grip on the iron rod and slowly approached the golden dog step by step

The situation on the road outside the community is clearly visible; even without a telescope, one can see it very clearly. One can observe the wandering corpses, with every tiny pore and decaying flesh appearing almost within reach, including the veins within the rotten meat, all distinctly visible

Although Lin Chao made a timely evasive move, his body was too slow, and he ultimately got scratched on the shoulder by the claws of the golden dog. It was merely a light scratch, yet the dog's paw tore through his clothing, leaving several deep gashes on his shoulder

Lin Chao picked up the black small box, and to his surprise, it was cold to the touch, not warm at all, as if it had just been taken out of an ice cave

The iron rod struck the wound fiercely

The sense of smell is like an invisible eye, capable of perceiving places that one cannot see.

Before long, a narrow slit was cut into the protective crystal on the surface by the flying knife
