Chapter 4, Special Evolvers

Two decaying corpses fell backward onto the stairs

Such matters are merely commonplace for him, hardly qualifying as dangerous; he had planned everything before stepping out, rather than acting blindly

In a certain respect, this is quite frightening

With a click, the door opened. Lin Shiyu's eyes slightly reddened, and as soon as the door opened, she grabbed Lin Chao's hand and bit down.

Lin Chao's gaze turned cold

Has he given up

The two decaying corpses moved quickly, arriving in front of the stairs one after the other. However, like the old man, they too lacked intelligence; they did not understand how to jump or avoid obstacles. If this were in a rural area, it is likely that when they charged out of the threshold, they would trip over the high doorstep.

The door creaked open slowly

Not every corpse will generate evolutionary energy within its body; this requires the coordination of many factors to come into existence. Generally, among three corpses, one will exhibit a corpse with evolutionary energy.

The second path is to hunt special corrupted corpses

In addition, special corpses possess a unique ability; some special corpses can survive even if their heads are shattered, while others are immune to lightning, and some can breathe underwater, among other capabilities

Stab it in the mouth

Once special evolutionary energy is obtained, one can become a special evolutionary being, possessing a physique far superior to that of ordinary evolutionary beings, and will also inherit the unique abilities of the undead

Lin Chao glanced at her arms outside the short-sleeved shirt, noting her fair skin, which showed no signs of decay; she was not a corpse. He let out a sigh of relief, pushed the door open, and walked straight in.

Lin Chao suddenly thrust the iron rod in his hand

He did not continue to clear further; even if he killed more corrupted corpses, it would not necessarily yield evolution and library energy

It is imperative to be quick

In later generations, any warrior who can rank among the world's top one hundred is undoubtedly a special evolutionary being. Various abilities evolve to their limits, resulting in incredible transformations. For instance, starting with immunity to lightning, they later gain the ability to control lightning, harnessing powerful electrical energy generated by the friction of microcurrents within their bodies to engage in combat

Within the bodies of special corpses, there is almost a hundred percent possession of evolutionary energy, and it is also a special type of evolutionary energy

Lin Chao immediately chose to attack

Lin Chao immediately began to dig into their hearts

This means that even if you strike them with a stick, they will still rush towards you

Isn't it?" Lin Chao raised an eyebrow, using a flying knife to extract all the flesh and blood from the heart, yet did not find the expected evolutionary energy.

Bang

There is a considerable distance from here to the stairs, and without the assistance of the stairs, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult for him to combat the undead on flat ground

Lin Chao's expression was somewhat grim, as his luck had been exceedingly poor. Coupled with yesterday's incident, he had killed a total of six creatures without obtaining any evolution energy

Lin Chao originally planned to first become an ordinary evolver and then hunt special corrupted corpses. It seems that now he has no choice but to advance his plans.

Two

Lin Chao saw several blood-red shoe prints. He followed the prints to the front of the bedroom and cautiously peered through the crack of the door to look inside

He no longer lingered and immediately proceeded to search the next room

With A-level 3 marksmanship, even though Lin Chao is not yet an evolved being, he is still able to eliminate these early-stage corpses. After all, they lack intelligence, their movements are simple, merely lunging at people without any skill involved, and they have poor balance, unable to evade obstacles

Lin Chaowei took a deep breath and cautiously entered the library.

Lin Chao chooses to hunt in order to obtain evolutionary energy and become an Evolver, which is the minimum guarantee for survival in the apocalypse

Roar

Semi-evolved individuals carry certain risks, as there are significant genetic differences among people. Undergoing one or two transplants may be manageable, but with repeated procedures, it can lead to the collapse of one's biological chain, resulting in genetic chaos and ultimately complete failure, leading to a catastrophic bodily explosion.

However, if utilized effectively, it becomes a fatal weakness for them

Above the ordinary corpse, there exists another type of corpse, whose strength and speed are approximately five times that of an ordinary person. Even with Lin Chao's A3 level marksmanship, he does not dare to engage in a direct confrontation. The disparity is simply too great; it can pounce in the blink of an eye, and the retina cannot clearly capture it, let alone evade it.

In a position of excellent terrain advantage, these prone corpses were unable to grasp his feet at all. After retreating while striking, the two corpses were immediately eliminated

Lin Chao did not evade, allowing her cherry-like lips to bite down, feeling no pain at all. Although her actions appeared fierce, the bite was actually very gentle, leaving only a row of shallow tooth marks and saliva

Utilizing the sting of this gene, one becomes a semi-evolver, gaining approximately double the strength, speed, and other physical attributes of an ordinary person, which is equivalent to half the power of an evolver

The infant corpse screamed sharply, its underdeveloped vocal cords producing a roar that was as piercing as a cry, extremely jarring

Lin Chao's expression was indifferent as he gripped the iron rod, preparing to confront it. However, in the next moment, a rotting corpse suddenly charged out from the open door, a woman with disheveled hair, her face covered in decay and grotesqueness.

The evolution energy and the book source are the most valuable substances within a corpse, formed from the transformation of the heart. They resemble crystals and are covered by a solid membrane that can withstand the corrosion of viruses. The evolution energy inside is dark red, composed of a large amount of blood from the entire corpse and the whole heart, mixed with a small amount of virus. It contains extraordinary power that can replenish and enhance human cells. If an ordinary person were to ingest it, they could quickly become an evolved being!

Lin Chao coldly drew out the flying knife and sliced open the location of its heart ... still nothing

Outside this open door, there is a skull and a skeleton

The room was in complete disarray, with the coffee table shattered, pools of blood splattered across the floor, various items scattered chaotically, and broken porcelain bowls.

Certainly not, unless one kills ordinary corrupted corpses to obtain evolution energy and becomes an evolver, there are also two other paths to choose from

"If you dare to do something so dangerous on your own again, I will never spare you!" Lin Shiyu said fiercely, glaring.

Fortunately, there are only four households on each floor here, and at least one of them has a tightly closed door. Even if there is a decaying corpse inside, it would not know how to open the door

In addition, the combined number of corpses from the other three households amounts to only three or four. The infected individuals are merely the elderly and children, who will immediately consume their nearby relatives, leaving no time for their loved ones to become infected and turn into corpses.

Only then did one see a head slowly raised in the woman's embrace

Upon seeing Lin Chao, this middle-aged corpse immediately roared and charged forward

He continued to the sixteenth floor

Among the four households here, two have their doors wide open, one of which is estimated to belong to the elderly person, while the other two households have their doors tightly closed

The woman's body was pushed aside by it and the books, lying flat on the bed, her entire abdomen hollowed out, with her intestines pulled out.

The number of special corpses is extremely limited; it is estimated that among approximately 10,000 ordinary corpses, only one may mutate into a special corpse

This is a baby, approximately a few months old, just able to crawl, yet at this moment, its entire body is covered in sores, the tender flesh that belongs to a baby has all rotted into pus-filled necrotic tissue, veins are bulging under the skin on its forehead, its eyes are rolled back, the face is covered in blood, and sharp teeth have already grown in its mouth, as it is gnawing on a piece of intestine

The front end of the iron rod immediately crushed the sharp teeth in its mouth, and despite its fierce and twisted expression, it continued to bite the iron rod aggressively. Its two decayed little arms struggled and waved, attempting to reach Lin Chao.

Arrived at the seventeenth floor

Lin Chao arrived at the open door of one of the houses and gently pushed the door.

Therefore, Lin Chao had not considered this method before

Once one becomes an evolved being, there will be a significant enhancement in all aspects, including strength, speed, hearing, and vision, equivalent to twice that of an ordinary person, closely resembling that of a zombie, and possessing the ability to be immune to viruses

After clearing up to the thirteenth floor, Lin Chao had killed a total of fifteen corrupted corpses, yet without exception, he did not obtain any evolution energy.

The iron rod was pulled out and with a single sweep, its head was smashed to pieces with a blow

Lin Chao smiled gently

Still not!

The corpse of the infant posed no threat; had it not been for the carelessness of this woman, she would not have been bitten to death by it, nor would the body have been consumed.

In the living room, an old arm, gnawed at in several places, lay on the floor, with bloodstains extending all the way into the bedroom.

He returned upstairs and knocked on the door; at this moment, Lin Shiyu should have gotten up

They still have not given up on m.hetushu.com, persevering with their hands pressed down, as if they were relentless and unyielding spirits.

Lin Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately chose to retreat

Even if the god of misfortune has possessed me, it can't be this exaggerated. More than a dozen have not evolved into energy... Could it be that the initial corpses had a low viral content, which is why they did not give rise to evolutionary energy? Lin Chao felt this was very likely

The longer he is exposed to the outside, the more intense his own scent will become, seeping out through the pores and sweat, attracting corpses

15th floor, 14th floor

He had no choice but to continue cleaning downstairs

A middle-aged corpse wanders beside the body, dressed in casual homewear, with large patches of dried blood staining the clothing

Soon, Lin Chao completed the cleanup of the seventeen floors. Including the old man and the infant, a total of three corpses were hunted, but no evolution energy was obtained.

In the bedroom, a woman is lying on her side with her back to the door on a spacious bed.

Beneath the rotting epidermis, the internal organs had completely decayed, and a foul odor wafted through the air. Lin Chao maintained a calm demeanor, his movements exceptionally skilled as he swiftly pried open the ribs to examine the decayed flesh surrounding the heart.

First, extract the relatively intact genes from these ordinary corpses that are less infected and transplant them into one's own body

These abilities will strengthen with evolution

As he approached the woman, he was just about to take a glance to see if there was any possibility of resuscitation when his pupils suddenly constricted slightly

Only one household's door is ajar, while the doors of the other three households are tightly shut. This does not necessarily mean that they are still alive; it is possible that they did not have the time to escape through the door before being bitten to death by the decaying corpses nearby

He did not linger any longer, but instead sought the next corpse.
