The sharp dagger cut through the rotten and deformed skin, and the pitch-black internal organs were exposed to the air, emitting a foul smell!

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ke Xin suddenly felt a feeling of tumbling in her stomach.

She glanced at Shangguan in fear, endured the discomfort, and dug out the zombie's heart.

Although Chu Yuan on the side has been pampered since he was a child, he is a man after all, and his tolerance for this kind of bloody picture is far higher than Kexin.

The most important thing is that as a child of a rich family, knowing how to judge the situation is a basic quality necessary since childhood. For the weak, he can act like a bully, but in the face of the strong, he can also clamp his tail and be a man.

He knew very well that if he wanted to live, he had to complete the tasks assigned by Shangguan in order to get some useful information from his mouth.

After half an hour of hard work, the two finally dug out the hearts of all the zombies in the corridor and put them in the backpack that Shangguan gave them.

Although it is not very difficult to dig out the heart of a zombie, the psychological pressure it is under is not small.

After Chu Yuan handed over the backpack to Shangguan, he collapsed on the ground with Ke Xin.

The upper tube carried the heavy backpack and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"You have 10 minutes, ask what you want to ask!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What is the infection and evolution you just said!" ”

"Humans are affected by the rain of blood and mutate into zombies and other terrifying monsters. These monsters are extremely contagious, and when an average person is scratched or bitten by them, there are two kinds of consequences.

One, infected by the virus, gradually become a creature like those zombies.

Second, the combination of one's own cells and viruses stimulates one's own potential and becomes a capable person! Of course, such people are very rare, only one in 1,000 people can appear. ”

Shangguan glanced coldly at the corpse on the bed: "This friend of yours is very lucky, his cells have successfully combined with the virus, and he originally had the hope of becoming an ability."

But it's a pity that his physical fitness is too poor to withstand the pressure of genetic modification, which leads to his own collapse!

As for the results of the collapse, you have already seen it. ”

"Then why was I also scratched by zombies, but I didn't mutate and I wasn't infected?"

As soon as Shangguan's words fell, Chu Yuan hurriedly asked, not daring to delay a single minute more.

"When a virus invades the human body, it first binds to the heart, and then undergoes some incomprehensible chemical change that causes the human body to mutate."

"In other words, the modified human who replaces the heart with an energy system will not be infected, and likewise, will not become a capable person."

Chu Yuan nodded, stared at Shangguan tightly, and asked the most important question: "What are we going to do to survive?" ”

Hearing this, Ke Xin also looked up at Shangguan, looking forward to his answer.

Originally, when the three of them were trapped here, everyone fell into despair. But Shangguan's appearance brought them hope, especially after seeing Shangguan's terrifying strength, it strengthened their minds even more.

This man must have a way to help them live.

If Shangguan tells them now that there is no way but to wait here for death, I am afraid that they will collapse immediately!

"The zombies on this street have been hunted by me, and there will be no danger in the short term, you can take advantage of this time to go to the shops on the street to sweep up food and drinking water, and find a place to hide."

Shangguan looked out the window, with a look of reminiscence on his face: "In half a year, naturally someone will come to you, and you will be safe by then."

Of course, if you live to that day! ”

Chu Yuan nodded, patted Kexin beside him, and motioned for her to help herself up.

Ke Xin originally wanted to ask Shangguan some questions, but when she saw Chu Yuan's eyes, she wisely swallowed back the words that had already come to her mouth, helped Chu Yuan and walked out.

From beginning to end, Chu Yuan didn't ask Shangguan what he was doing collecting the hearts of those zombies, nor did he question his statement that someone would come to save them in half a year.

Because he knows that everyone has their own secrets, and the less they know, the longer they will live. At the same time, I also understand that I and Kexin need a hope, no matter how unattainable this hope is, whether it is true or false......

Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually disappearing, Shangguan's face showed an inexplicable smile: "This guy named Chu Yuan is not bad, if he can survive until the opening of the Steel City, he will definitely make a difference." ”

In the Dark Ages, in addition to the capable, the strength of the deeply transformed people should not be underestimated......

……

Shangguan looked out the window for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and closed all the doors and windows in the room.

He went to the sofa in the living room, found a water cup and put it in front of him, and began to dispose of the zombie's heart.

On closer inspection, there is no difference between these hearts and real stones.

It is the core substance of these mutated creatures and the source of energy.

Shangguan used a dagger to cut a small hole in the rough stone, and a crimson liquid flowed out of it.

Rough stones!

The crimson liquid contained in it allows a person to evolve into a capable person without any risk.

With only two of them, you can help humans evolve into the lowest level of ability, and avoid the risk of being infected!

Capable one!

Humans have gained superpowers through Doomsday Rain, Rough Stones, and other means.

Depending on the ability, it is divided into low ability (level 1), abnormal ability (level 2), strong ability (level 3), large ability (level 4), and super ability (level 5) according to range and power.

The final strength of the acquired ability is related to the Doomsday Rain/Primordial Stones absorbed during the initial evolution, and if the crimson liquid in the two Primordial Stones is consumed for the first time, then the person will gain low abilities and will not be able to grow for the rest of their lives.

If you eat four of them, you will gain low ability, and the growth limit is abnormal ability.

If you eat 8 pieces, you will gain low power, and the growth limit is strong ability.

......

And so on.

As for the growth between abilities, it is also caused by swallowing the crimson liquid in the rough stone.

It takes 10 primogems to grow from low ability to abnormal ability.

It takes 200 Primogems to grow to a strong ability.

As for the growth above the strong ability, the rough stones produced by ordinary zombies like this have no effect at all. This is only possible by hunting more powerful mutant creatures to obtain high-level primogems, and the amount required is huge.

So in the Dark Ages, it was very rare to have more than one with great powers.

And that's why rough is a great resource for the future!

But Shangguan cut the rough stone open, but he had no intention of taking it.

Because his strength has long exceeded the limit of a strong person, even if he uses all these rough stones, he can't improve his strength at all.

The reason why Shangguan cut it open was because he intended to use them to cultivate more advanced rough stones!

He cut open 32 rough stones, dripping all of them with crimson liquid into the cup in front of him, and then placed the last rough stone inside.

Then, an incredible scene appeared.

As the last rough stone was inserted, the crimson liquid in the cup instantly turned into a crystal clear gelatinous substance, wrapping the rough stone tightly.

If you look closely, you can see that the gelatinous material is seeping into the interior of the rough at an extremely slow speed, and the color of the rough is deepening......
