April 1, 2036, Lunar Calendar March 5, 6:10 PM.
The heavy rain had just passed, the sky was clear, the crescent moon hung low, and the stars twinkled.
The power was out.
The torrential rain had been so devastating that it destroyed the power system in the southern part of the city. As a result, the Communication Base Station lost power, the entire Industrial Zone went dark, and it was very likely that all of southern Pengcheng was without electricity.
Shen Yuan connected the access control system of the Communication Base Station to a backup battery to ensure it could be operated normally.
He stood on the rooftop terrace, looking around at the complete absence of lights. The entire city had plunged into an absolute darkness that had not been seen in countless years. On this day, those survivors who had always lived in the city finally saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time.
Although the Earth beneath the starry sky was battered and bruised;
Human civilization under the stars had already been destroyed!
Shen Yuan originally had some nearsightedness, with a vision of 5.2 in his left eye and 4.3 in his right. But now, he unexpectedly discovered that his right eye's vision had improved somewhat, and his left eye's vision was even better.
"Probably at least back to 4.7 or 4.8? The Source of Life is truly amazing!"
The Source of Life had brought balanced and comprehensive improvements to his body.
Although he hadn't grown scales with incredible defensive power, nor suddenly gained strength greater than an Olympic Weightlifting Champion, his strength, speed, reaction ability, vision, hearing, and other aspects had all seen slight enhancements.
This made Shen Yuan feel that he was still human.
In contrast, Guo Dalong could no longer be considered human; he resembled more of an orc or lizardman from games or movies.
"The direction of mutation is different; I wonder which one is more advantageous," Shen Yuan gently shook his head.
Although his evolution is more comprehensive, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to activate Revolver, he would have been killed by Guo Dalong at that time. As for the absorbed Source of Life, he should have more than Guo Dalong.
Guo Dalong's mutation now seems to be more useful.
If we don't consider the Golden Left Hand.
The Activation Ability in the palm of his left hand is truly formidable.
After killing Guo Dalong and Luo Jindou, the pale golden glow in the palm of his left hand has recovered somewhat.
Although it hasn't returned to the level after splitting the Mutated Hen, it's not far off.
As night fell, visibility dropped sharply; beyond a few dozen meters, everything became unclear. This was still due to Shen Yuan's relatively good eyesight; an ordinary person's visibility would be even lower.
"Food and water... are a problem."
The Mutated Hen Meat wouldn't last long, and he wasn't sure if the tap water was still usable. Shen Yuan decided to leave this place early tomorrow morning and head elsewhere.
Ideally, he could drive directly to Jinling.
Of course, that might just be wishful thinking.
It might only be wishful thinking.
The Mutant Mouse had already disappeared, and only some scattered scales remained of Guo Dalong's body. The blood and flesh... had all been eaten, leaving nothing behind, then washed away by the heavy rain, with no trace left.
"Let's go check on them."
Shen Yuan let A Hu guard the door, then closed it and went up to the fifth floor.
"Boss, you're here? I found some candles in the office on the first floor when I came in; otherwise, we would be in total darkness!" Chen Letian lowered his voice, not as excited as during the day.
Because after the heavy rain, Zombie activity had started again, he was afraid of attracting them.
A few candles were lit in the Factory, but not many, so the light was limited. The curtains were all drawn as well, still fearing that light would attract Zombie and Mutant Creatures.
Not lighting the candles was not an option either.
In such a terrifying apocalypse, if there was no light at all at night, it wouldn't just be Zhang Huanxue, that girl who hadn't graduated yet; even Chen Letian and Xu Lixing would feel anxious and uneasy.
Not everyone is like Shen Yuan, who enjoys darkness and silence.
Most humans in this world still prefer light and liveliness because it provides a sense of security; they have always lived under the sun.
Shen Yuan does not need anyone or any environment to give him a sense of security. He has never been a person who feels secure; only he can provide himself with that feeling.
Perhaps Red Sister could too, but she is not here.
He didn't know if they would ever reunite again.
"Boss, want to eat some meat? Have you eaten? Then how about some water? We found several barrels of mineral water."
There were five large barrels of 18.9 liters of mineral water stacked together, one of which had already been opened. There was also a water dispenser, which should have been for the workers, but now it was benefiting them.
Shen Yuan was indeed thirsty.
Although there were still two bottles of mineral water in the Military Backpack, I didn't dare to drink too much, wanting to conserve it. Since there are several large barrels here, there's no need to hold back.
Shen Yuan took a big gulp of water, drank his fill, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve. He casually asked, "Nothing happened after I went up, right?"
Chen Letian chuckled, "Nothing happened! Just, just..."
He chuckled awkwardly and then glanced at the now-awake Xu Lixing, lowering his voice. "Xu Lixing dragged me to get Luo Jindou's body out and threw it out the window. Then a few Zombies in the pouring rain ate it. That kid's expression at that moment was like he had avenged a deep-seated grudge... Alright, let's get to the point. The point is: those Zombies mutated after eating Luo Jindou's body!"
"Mutated?" Shen Yuan frowned, somewhat confused.
Zombies are already considered Mutant Creatures, right? How could they mutate further?
Chen Letian raised his hand to gesture. "Those Zombies became incredible! One Zombie grew a half-meter-long bone spike on each shoulder, another had a mouth with a tongue about a meter long! And one Zombie was just like the Licker from decades ago in Resident Evil, incredibly fast! Honestly, if it weren't for the security bars on this Factory's windows, I wouldn't dare stay here!"
Xu Lixing didn't speak, but his expression wasn't good; fear was written all over his face.
Zhang Huanxue was even worse off. As an ordinary female college student who hadn't graduated yet and was at an age full of dreams, she had never been taught about darkness and bloodshed in her ivory tower. It was already impressive that she hadn't collapsed with the apocalypse; her body was still trembling from fear.
Shen Yuan frowned and walked to the window.
He pulled the curtain open a crack and, using the starlight, indeed saw several Zombies.
There was no so-called Licker, but he did see a Zombie with bone spikes on its shoulders wandering aimlessly on the road outside the window.
Zombies... have they evolved?
The Source of Life truly seems omnipotent!
Indeed, even a Shovel can be "activated," and its damage can automatically "heal." What's so strange about the evolution of Zombies?
Even if one day The Earth Came Alive and became a conscious being, Shen Yuan wouldn't find it odd. Aren't there plenty of such settings in online novels?
Gaia Consciousness, Collective Consciousness—who can't throw out a few terms these days?
But since even Zombies have evolved, this wicked apocalypse is even less of a place for humans to stay.
It's really incredibly difficult to leave here and head to Jinling...
"What about the Licker? What does it look like? How fast is it?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Licker? It's always been on the road; I've seen it several times!" Chen Letian leaned over, looked around, and scratched his head in confusion. "What's going on? Did it go play somewhere else? Let me open the window and take a look."
He was about to open the window.
Suddenly, a terrifying shadow appeared at the window.
"Licker!"
Chen Letian shouted, backing away several steps with a face full of horror.
