The body temperature rose sharply, and even breathing out could melt ice and snow. The snow surrounding him slowly melted into water, soaking their clothes and revealing their figures.
However, the snow between them remained, obstructing their view. Wei Luhe and Zhang Huanxue were not exposed, and Chen Letian was not fortunate enough to see...
Neither was Shen Yuan.
He felt weak streams of heat flowing into his body from the palm of his left hand. The unbearable heat forced him to strip off his heavy clothing and step into the snow, using the melting ice and snow to lower his body temperature.
His temperature had long surpassed the highest limit of a human fever; logically, he should have already burned out his brain. But the snow around him quickly melted, taking away heat, and Shen Yuan's physique far exceeded that of the past, allowing him to endure this temperature.
The snow around his body melted the fastest. Soon, all the snow on his head disappeared, revealing a sky filled with drifting snowflakes. Standing at a height of one hundred meters, he could see no traces of buildings or vegetation around him; the blizzard was so heavy that it obscured his vision, making visibility lower than ever before!
He moved his body, traversing through the snow, melting patches of it until he quickly spotted Chen Letian.
Chen Letian was already flushed from the heat. Upon seeing the wisps of steam rising from Shen Yuan's head, he couldn't help but dance around and shout, "Wow! Boss, are you about to become an immortal? The white mist rising from your head—this is Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and Five Qi Returning to Origin? Isn't it said that when martial arts reach a certain level, one will emit white mist? Could it be that Wuxia novels aren't lying? Boss, are you a hidden Martial Arts Master?"
Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered to respond to him; he didn't have the time.
He felt hot all over, melting the snow. The heavy snowfall hadn't yet landed on him; it melted into droplets just ten centimeters away. The palm of his left hand emitted a faint metallic sheen; if it weren't for the blizzard obscuring his view, Chen Letian might have already seen it.
Shen Yuan remained calm and distanced himself from Chen Letian, walking in another direction.
Wherever he went, the snow melted rapidly, taking away heat from his body.
He felt he was nearing his limit; however, due to the snow and temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius, he had not yet reached that limit. He suppressed the urge to consume the snow because doing so would not lower the temperature of his internal organs; instead, it would raise their temperature even higher!
Shen Yuan quickly saw Chi Qinghua and A Hu, as well as Wei Jiankang, Xu Lixing, Wei Luhe, and Zhang Huanxue.
He alone melted half of the snow on the rooftop platform!
Chen Letian shouted, because after the snow melted, he finally saw Wei Luhe and Zhang Huanxue. He exclaimed, as both beauties had impressive figures. Especially Wei Luhe, who had all the right curves; despite her youth, she had a notable chest and a youthful appearance.
Chi Qinghua was doing well.
She was very careful, ensuring that each time she interacted with the snow, it was minimal, allowing her body heat to be carried away by the cold weather. She didn't need to rush; A Hu was also absorbing the Source of Life. A Hu's absorption meant her own absorption; their lives were shared, and their evolution was synchronized.
Wei Jiankang looked younger, appearing to be in his mid-twenties, but in terms of looks, he seemed to be of the same age group as Shen Yuan. Compared to Wei Luhe, he looked less like a grandfather and more like an older brother.
Xu Lixing was also on the move.
His body was hot and flushed, but he endured it. This high school student, still under eighteen, though quiet, possessed a resilience far beyond others. It was unclear whether this was his nature or if his experiences after the apocalypse had completely changed his character.
Wei Luhe and Zhang Huanxue held hands, the two beauties melting a patch of snow into a beautiful scene.
Shen Yuan kept moving, absorbing the Source of Life at a speed far surpassing others. A significant portion was absorbed through the palm of his left hand, which was increasingly covered in a metallic sheen. It had completely covered his palm and began to spread to the back of his hand!
It seemed to want to cover his entire left hand completely!
Time flew by; an hour had already passed.
During this hour, the air temperature continued to drop, now reaching around minus twenty degrees Celsius. This unprecedented cold had not been seen in Pengcheng for a century; it was a temperature typical of winter in Northeast China—cold enough that even breathing or urinating would cause ice to form.
Moreover, the Blizzard continues, and the temperature is bound to drop further!
The lower the temperature, the better it is for Shen Yuan, as he desperately needs the cold weather to draw away the heat from his body.
Only when all the snow on the rooftop platform has melted into water does Shen Yuan's body temperature finally begin to decrease slowly. This is because the Source of Life contained in the falling snow is no longer sufficient to generate much heat in his body, and this little heat can only be used to warm himself in such cold weather.
It is entirely foreseeable that this Blizzard will create more Mutant Beasts, Evolvers, and Mutated Zombies, and those creatures that have already mutated will undoubtedly become even stronger!
His body shows no unusual changes; Shen Yuan only feels that his strength has increased significantly, his muscles have become firmer, his lines more fluid, and his vision and hearing have improved.
He is still classified as a Normal Person, but his physical quality far exceeds that of anyone before the apocalypse. Even those who have trained in martial arts for many years or undergone years of professional training as Special Forces cannot compare to him.
Chen Letian, Wei Luhe, and Wei Jiankang—these three individuals who had already mutated did not undergo further mutation.
"Boss, I feel like... I can take a beating better!" Chen Letian said grumpily, his voice low and his mood gloomy.
He feels that he is evolving down an irreversible path toward becoming a meat shield, unable to turn back.
His recovery ability has become stronger, his body more solid, and his skin tougher. Even when he forcefully scratches it with a small knife, it only leaves a white mark. Although his defense cannot compare to Guo Dalong's scales, it is still quite good.
"My body feels full of power, especially my hands and feet." Wei Luhe jumped in place and surprisingly leaped five meters high, just like a martial arts master. Moreover, she landed very quietly; if it weren't for the puddles on the ground, she might have made no sound at all.
Her hands are plump, white and thick, similar to the pads on a cat's claws, capable of cushioning the impact of landing from a height. Her feet are similar as well.
Wei Luhe resembles a "cat person," with evolutionary abilities akin to those of feline animals in terms of jumping ability and speed. Of course, she is not a docile pet cat but rather a small tiger with sharp teeth!
Wei Jiankang had not changed much, only that he felt more energetic. His abilities were related to his blood, and specific changes and effects would only be known after experimentation.
Xu Lixing was similar to Alice from Resident Evil, a perfect Evolver of the T-Virus, with high attributes in all aspects of his body, significantly surpassing Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan had evolved again; although his speed had increased considerably, it was still not stronger than the original Xu Lixing.
And now Xu Lixing...
"I've become stronger!" His voice was somewhat excited, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
He lightly leaped and jumped two meters high. Although it was far from Wei Luhe, it still exceeded the Olympic record for ordinary humans.
Xu Lixing clenched his fist and suddenly ran swiftly, as fast as a cheetah!
He swung his fist and struck heavily against the wall of the elevator machine room, producing a dull roar; his fist was completely unharmed!
His strength, speed, reaction ability, and even physical defense had all comprehensively surpassed Shen Yuan by a significant margin!
However...
He had become thinner, skin and bones, with little flesh remaining, resembling a streak of lightning.
