Chapter 18: Evolution Again

The three of them looked at the place where Lin Han and Lin Ying had disappeared, their eyes full of gratitude. But at the same time, the source crystal in his hand unconsciously clenched a little. Although there will be no one else here to snatch the source crystal, anyone who has such a treasure in their hands will subconsciously want to protect it.

After a long time, Dong Jie, one of the three, spoke:

"The role of this source crystal, presumably Brother Lin has explained it very clearly just now. Since Brother Lin gave the source crystals to the two of you, then you can dispose of these two source crystals by yourself! ”

Zeng Haifeng, who was on the side, heard this, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Dingxin on the side:

"Okay, Uncle Zeng, since Boss Dong has decided to give us these two source crystals, then we don't have to shirk anymore."

According to normal people's thinking, they serve as a gathering place, and treasures like Yuanjing should be brought back to the camp and then given to those who have the ability. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is the self-proclaimed capable, and now that they are directly using these source crystals here, it is somewhat unruly.

However, Dong Jie and Zhao Dingxin could actually see that these source crystals were actually specially left to them by Lin Han. After all, it was only the three of them who were familiar with him in the camp, and if someone else had followed, Lin Han might not have given these three source crystals.

And in fact, there is another drawback to bringing the source crystal back to the camp now. That is, it is easy to cause people to fight, and everyone wants to have more strength to survive in the last days. Although there is nothing wrong with leaving things that can increase their strength to the strong, if it causes strife and infighting at this time, it will be a devastating blow to them now.

"This ...... All right! Then I'll take it. Seeing that Dong Jie and Zhao Dingxin both said this, Zeng Haifeng had no choice but to put away the source crystal in his hand.

"It's almost dawn, and we should go back too. Let's go, the strength of our camp will definitely be greatly improved this time......" With that, Dong Jie took Zeng Haifeng and Zhao Dingxin back to the camp.

"Shouldn't I also consider Brother Lin Han's opinion? How about moving the whole camp to another city? Dong Jie was walking on the road while thinking about the warning Lin Han had given him before. He knew that this was no joke, and he could feel that these zombies were getting stronger, although the changes in time were very weak, but he believed that if this continued, sooner or later these zombies would usher in a big leap, and survival would definitely be more difficult at that time.

"Forget it, this kind of thing is not something I can decide alone, let's discuss it with everyone after returning to the camp!" In the end, Dong Jie still made up his mind to go back and discuss with everyone first.

Little by little, the sun climbed into the sky as time passed, illuminating the city, which had been somewhat dim before. It can't be said to be a city anymore, because many places have been reduced to ruins due to the destruction of zombies. Among them, there are also some buildings that have been damaged by man. These are all things that the survivors have destroyed while searching for resources. As a city that was directly attacked by meteorites when the virus was infected, Jingtong City can now be said to be dead silent.

At this moment, two nimble humanoid figures continued to move rapidly between the ruined cities. It was Lin Han and Lin Ying, who said goodbye to Dong Jie and his party not long ago. At this time, Lin Han can be said to be very uncomfortable, because since the separation of several people just now, Lin Ying has always had a look on his face that seems to be smiling but not smiling, and he still doesn't look at his face, as if there is something strange on his face.

"I said, Xiaoying, what do you mean by having this expression all the time since just now?" Finally, after the two of them came to the rooftop of a high-rise building and stopped, Lin Han couldn't help but ask.

When Lin Ying heard this, a smile full of sunshine rose at the corner of her mouth, and she replied to Lin Han:

"Hee-hee, it's nothing. I just didn't expect you to give them the source crystal, I didn't expect you to be quite humane! ”

Hearing Lin Ying's answer, Lin Han's body stiffened as if it had been struck by lightning. Is it human? Do I still have that kind of thing? Lin Han couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. If it was changed before, let alone distributing the source crystal to others, he would have chopped people up on the spot, and he would not feel any discomfort. Even if the other party has no grievances with oneself, there is no need for such a thing as a reason in such a world.

As he himself said, Dong Jie and the others were indeed the first group of humans he had seen after the outbreak of the last days of this life, except for Lin Ying. In addition, after being reborn, he saw his relatives, but he had a big regret, and the violence he formed in his previous life was reined in.

Coupled with the human nature in Lin Han's heart that had not yet been extinguished, a variety of factors added up, which led to Lin Han's decision to give a part of the source crystal to Dong Jie and them. Maybe in his heart, he still hopes that more human beings will survive in the last days!

"What's the matter, brother? I praised you twice, but you are still so excited that you can't speak? Lin Ying saw Lin Han frozen in place and asked teasingly.

"Hmph, stinky girl! It's going to make fun of your brother! Saying that, Lin Han slapped Lin Ying on the back of the head. This slap obviously didn't use much strength, but Lin Ying still held her head with her hands in exaggerated acting, making a painful appearance of baring her teeth and cracking her mouth.

"Alright, no kidding, let's get down to business." After a short period of fighting, Lin Han immediately regained his serious expression and said solemnly to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying also put away her previous playful appearance at this time, waiting for Lin Han's orders.

"The corpse tide that was just taken off has dropped a total of twelve source crystals, three of which have already been given to Dong Jie and them. The remaining nine source crystals are now here to absorb together. After speaking, Lin Han took out nine light blue source crystals from his pocket. One of them was significantly darker and larger in color and size than the others, and this was the one that the second-order zombie dropped when it died.

"But brother, don't you need any of them?" Lin Ying looked at Lin Han and asked with a little worry.

"Well, these things don't have much use for me now, but for you, they can greatly improve your strength." As he spoke, Lin Han picked out the source crystal dropped by the second-order ability zombie from among the many source crystals, "Come on!" You try this second-order source crystal first, its effect is more than ten times that of an ordinary first-order source crystal! ”

Soon, Lin Ying began to absorb this second-order source crystal. Without any extra movements, he swallowed the source crystal directly, and the light blue source crystal turned into source energy. A refreshing sensation starts in the throat and spreads to every cell in the body. The cells in the body began to become active at this moment, competing to grab the source energy released from the source crystal, feeling this moment of life evolution.

Compared to the reaction that occurred when the body evolved when taking the Source Crystal for the first time, this time it was obviously much calmer. But this is a second-order source crystal after all, Lin Ying, as a first-order evolutionary, taking a second-order source crystal is actually considered to be overstepping, and generally only when she is at the peak of the first order, she will choose to start taking the second-order source crystal.

Because the source energy contained in the second-order source crystal cannot be compared with the first-order source crystal in terms of quantity or quality. Therefore, when the cells in Lin Ying's body came into contact with these source energy, these cells immediately exceeded the normal level, became active, and began to compete for this precious source energy.

This also brought a great load to Lin Ying's body, only to see drops of sweat oozing from her delicate face, and her entire forehead was wrinkled into an inverted figure because of the pain. But compared to the first time he devoured the source crystal, there was no longer the pain that almost made people faint. Soon, Lin Ying completed the absorption of this second-order source crystal, and the momentum exuded by the whole person was even more powerful than before!

"It is worthy of a second-order source crystal, and the evolution degree of the little warbler before was probably close to the middle of the first order. Now after devouring this second-order source crystal, the source energy in his body can already be compared to that of a late-stage first-order evolutionary. Seeing that Lin Ying had completed the devouring of the second-order source crystal, Lin Han was also very happy in his heart, which meant that they had successfully added an insurance on their escape journey.

"But Xiao Ying's evolution this time didn't burst out with that strange energy like the last time......" Lin Han thought silently in his heart.

This is also why he chose to let Lin Ying devour the second-order source crystal first, because in this way, it would be 100% guaranteed that Lin Ying's strength could evolve again. And the strange energy before was the energy that burst out of Lin Ying's first great evolution. Even though several days had passed, Lin Han still had lingering feelings about the oppression caused by that energy.

So Lin Han wondered if that force would appear again when Lin Ying evolved again. Moreover, Lin Han could basically judge that this energy should not cause any harm to Lin Ying when it erupted, and based on this, he dared to do so.

But the reality didn't seem to be as he thought, Lin Ying's evolution process was very normal, and all the performances were almost the same as the performance of normal people when they evolved, and this phenomenon even made Lin Han wonder if the previous energy was wrong to sense.

"Could it be that that energy will only appear when Xiao Ying first devours the power of the Source Crystal's awakening? If that's the case, then I won't be able to investigate......" Thinking of this, Lin Han couldn't help but be a little disappointed. If it was as he had envisioned, he would probably never have figured out where that energy came from. If this energy doesn't hurt Lin Ying, then everything is easy to say. But if something happens and he doesn't do anything, then he will definitely regret dying.

"Everything can only be left to the flow......" Lin Han sighed helplessly.

Subsequently, after waiting for Lin Ying to completely digest the second-order source crystal, Lin Han took out the remaining few first-order source crystals and continued to absorb them.

The whole devouring process lasted from morning to noon. In the end, after Lin Ying absorbed a total of one second-order source crystal and eight first-order source crystals, the final strength was stuck at the first-order peak level of the evolutionary level!
