The rain kept pouring, and the atmosphere was not very pleasant.
Listening to the sound of the heavy rain outside, Shen Yuan felt a bit down.
It was already three in the afternoon, and the heavy rain had been falling for an hour and a half without any signs of stopping.
Most importantly, there were no signs that Chi Qinghua had woken up; he didn't know what had happened.
He also wondered how Chen Letian and the others were doing.
They should be fine, right? This building is so large that they could easily find a place to hide. Once the door is closed, even if there are Zombies, they can't get in; it's very safe.
As long as no Mutant Beasts break in, it should be very safe.
Shen Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable about not letting those people into the Base Station, but there was nothing he could do; he really couldn't take that risk. This was a character trait and habit formed over a long period of experience, and it couldn't be changed.
He extended his left hand, palm facing up.
It was still a pale golden color, with little change. Perhaps there had been changes, but they were too subtle for Gavin to discern.
In any case, the palm of this hand felt strange.
He touched everything inside the Base Station.
From the heavy Signal Transmitter weighing dozens of pounds to the tiny Light Module the size of a fingertip and even smaller screws, he finally confirmed:
Not only metals can be activated!
Smaller and simpler items can also be activated, such as screws, optical fibers, and so on, but larger objects cannot be activated, like the Signal Transmitter and iron doors.
Currently, the largest object that can be activated is a two-meter-long climbing iron frame, estimated to weigh around ten to twenty pounds. However, more complex items, like the very small yet intricate Light Module, cannot be activated.
Communication watches cannot be activated either!
The larger and more complex the object, the harder it is to activate.
The good news is that the Revolver can be activated!
In the end, Shen Yuan could not resist the temptation and activated the Revolver, which took five minutes this time.
After activation, the handgun looked much better than before, with a smoother surface.
"The activation effects are as follows: increased range, enhanced bullet power, improved armor-piercing capability, and increased durability of the gun body... Please test the specific effects yourself."
As for the effects... Shen Yuan was still unclear about them; it wasn't convenient to test here.
He noticed a problem.
After activating the handgun, the light golden color of his palm's skin had weakened significantly, to the point where it was almost indistinguishable.
"Does absorbing the Source of Life deepen the light golden color of the palm's skin?"
"Activation... does it require consuming the Source of Life in the skin of my palm? Is it manifested as a faint golden color weakening?"
"And the Source of Life within my body, I wonder if it won't be consumed during activation because it has already merged with my bodily tissues?"
"Activation, strengthening the body... is this the function of the Source of Life?"
Shen Yuan was still uncertain.
It was only the first day of the apocalypse, and everything was filled with unknowns.
The only thing he knew was that he had obtained the Activated Revolver, which enhanced his self-defense capabilities a bit.
That was enough!
Shen Yuan tested his strength.
His previous strength was already quite good; he could easily lift a signal amplifier weighing thirty to forty pounds with one hand. But now...
He casually picked up a signal amplifier, weighed it in his hand, and felt nothing unusual.
His strength must have increased significantly. However, it was still difficult to determine exactly how much.
At least, if he were to compete in strength against Guo Dalong, he should not lose!
The heavy rain continued to pour down, creating a loud noise.
Shen Yuan heard a different sound amidst the roar of the storm, a strange cry.
What exactly is happening outside?
“A Hu, keep an eye on Azure Mantis. I'm going out to take a look.”
Shen Yuan took the Shovel, gently opened the door, then swiftly stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
He stood in the storm, observing his surroundings. However, visibility was poor; he couldn't see far at all. No matter how high-definition the telescope, it was useless in such conditions.
The strange cries were coming from below.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yuan took out his Revolver, opened the iron door, and went downstairs.
Following the staircase, he arrived at the fifth floor.
The rainwater flowed like a river down the stairs, and all the charred Zombie corpses had disappeared, likely washed away to the first floor.
It was very clean.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, the strange cries became clearer, sounding somewhat like a person calling out in pain, accompanied by curses and groans.
Could something have happened to those people?
Shen Yuan walked down the corridor and soon arrived at the Factory.
The entrance to the Factory is a Fire Shutter Door, which is half open.
This is not important; what matters is that near the bottom of the Fire Shutter Door, probably where the lock is, there is a mark made by a sharp object. Someone, or something, must have directly broken the lock and then opened the Fire Shutter Door!
Strange cries, moans, and curses are all coming from inside the Factory.
At this point, Shen Yuan can hear it clearly!
"Ah! No! I don't want this! Please let me go!"
"Guo Dalong, you beast! What do you want to do? If you have the guts, come at me! Bullying a woman is nothing!"
"Roar!"
"Hehe, Chen Letian, you need to know your place. Boss Guo is willing to take you in and let you join him; this is your blessing! Do you see that kid? A high school student, a delusional youth, daring to challenge Boss Guo's authority! The only reason he wasn't slapped to death is that Boss Guo is merciful!"
"Luo Jindou, you scum! Shen Yuan will eventually take care of you and Guo Dalong together!"
"Shen Yuan? Hehe, that guy locked us outside the Communication Base Station. How could he have known that this rain has mutated Boss Guo, me, and you into new humans? What is Shen Yuan? Once Boss Guo has had his fun, he will go kill Shen Yuan and bring over that little girl he's protecting! Tsk tsk, such a small girl; I wonder what it feels like. I haven't tasted it yet!"
"Luo Jindou, you bastard! Zhang Huanxue, don't be afraid; I will protect you!"
"Chen Letian! Let me tell you, now you and we are of the same kind! We are all new humans! We are superpowered beings! We are the Mutants from X-Men! We are destined to stand at the peak of the world and rule this world! Don't be ignorant of the situation! If it weren't for you being a new human too, I wouldn't even plead with Boss Guo to spare your life!"
"Luo Jindou, I'm going all out with you!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of fights erupted, followed by Chen Letian's painful groans and Luo Jindou's triumphant laughter.
Shen Yuan was filled with rage!
Guo Dalong actually showed up!
And he has become some kind of Mutant? A new human? An ability user?
Luo Jindou and Chen Letian have also become Mutants?
But it seems Guo Dalong is the strongest? Luo Jindou is second? Chen Letian is the weakest?
That guy, Luo Jindou, actually wants to target Azure Mantis? Seeking death!
Shen Yuan gripped a Revolver in one hand and a Shovel in the other as he walked into the Factory.
He was met with a disgusting sight that was hard to bear!
