Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 25
The first evolutionary was Cao Zhiyong, Wang Jianwen was the second, and Li Xun didn't count himself.

Like him, the two have one obvious thing in common, an amazing appetite.

Li Xun speculates that this should be a sign of the beginning of evolution, and their bodies need a lot of energy to meet the needs of evolution.

It was the same when he started his evolution on the boat. He still had lingering fears about the feeling of extreme hunger. Several cans of beef, and a few bottles of water to feel better.

Moreover, this amazing appetite will last for two or three days. Wang Jianwen will soon feel hungry again after eating. Others can eat three meals a day. It is estimated that he will eat six meals a day.

In other words, the amount of food that Wang Jianwen will consume by himself will probably be equivalent to seven or eight people.

Fortunately, he will leave after the wall is cut open, which should have little effect on Li Xun's plan.

It is also worth noting that Cao Zhiyong started to eat a lot early this morning, but Wang Jianwen was a few hours later. The time when the two people started to evolve is different. Does this mean that the activation of the DNA chain of the two people is not the same?
It is very likely that Wang Jianwen's activation rate is not as good as Cao Zhiyong's. This problem can be confirmed in the next communication with the system.

"Old Fan, I plan to stay here temporarily." Li Xun said.

"I guessed it, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to see how much food there is." Lao Fan was not surprised. He had been running the Beetle outdoor product store for more than ten years, and he was already proficient in trying to figure out other people's ideas and needs.

"what's your plan?"

"I'll go wherever you go. Anyway, I'm determined to follow you. The biggest advantage of me is that I never look back when I'm sure, and I go all the way to the dark." Lao Fan expressed his determination impassionedly.

"Okay, it's a good advantage." Li Xun smiled, and kept his words in mind for the time being, "The extreme beast is too threatening, and it's too dangerous to continue going forward. If it's not good, we'll either feed the zombies or feed the monsters." We have found an extreme beast, so we have to think of other ways.”

"Extreme beast? You mean the monster outside?"

"Yes, the monsters that appear after the aurora disappears are called polar beasts for short."

"Understood, what can I do?"

"It's very simple, improve your strength."

"Improve your strength?" Lao Fan became more and more confused. Does strength mean that you can improve your strength?Besides, what does the so-called strength refer to?Organize more people?Or find a more powerful weapon?firearms?Tank artillery?
Let’s talk about personnel first. It must be difficult to organize at present. After the end of the day, there will be zombies everywhere. Those who survived will find a safe place to hide. There are always a few people like them who dare to confront the zombies. At least for now Not much, no one is not afraid of death.

As for firearms, they should be able to deal with extreme beasts, but the control of firearms in China is extremely strict, and only a few departments such as the army and the police will equip them, which is not easy to do.

Could it be that Li Xun wanted to go to the Baisha sub-bureau with Wang Jianwen?There were guns there.

But it's not right, he said he would stay here temporarily, obviously he didn't intend to be with them.

Lao Fan considered several possibilities in an instant, and ruled them out one by one. He couldn't figure out what Li Xun meant by improving his strength.

"Do you remember how much Cao Zhiyong ate this morning?" Li Xun ignored Lao Fan's question, but suddenly changed the subject.

"Remember, he ate four self-heating rice, a lot of ham sausages... No, Wang Jianwen is also very edible, what does this mean?" Lao Fan had a faint idea in his mind, but he kept catching it. Can't live.

"evolution."

"Yes, evolution." Lao Fan was shocked, as if a bolt of lightning had struck through his mind, as if he had been enlightened, he grasped the idea at once, but then he startled himself, "You mean evolution?"

"Yes, human beings probably started evolution under the influence of something unknown."

"Aurora!" Lao Fan blurted out.

"It is possible that human beings started to evolve under the influence of the aurora, and evolution requires energy, so Cao Zhiyong and Wang Jianwen's appetite increased greatly."

"Well, the logic seems reasonable, but this is all speculation, and it may not be evolution, but some kind of impact on their bodies, or some kind of disease that caused the increase in food intake. There is no evidence."

"I can prove it."

"Can you prove it?" Lao Fan was startled, then his eyes widened suddenly: "You..., you mean..."

Li Xun smiled slightly, stretched out his arm and grabbed a leg of the coffee table next to him, and easily lifted the coffee table up.

"Hiss..." Lao Fan gasped. He lifted this coffee table just now, and it weighed about [-] to [-] catties. It was a bit difficult for two people to lift it, so Li Xun lifted it with one hand.

What the hell is a lateral lift of [-] kilograms?Is this something humans can do?
"Brother Li, have you...evolved?" Lao Fan looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"Well, it has evolved. At the beginning, my appetite also increased greatly, but now it is basically back to normal. After this process is over, my physical fitness will become stronger."

"How strong is it?" Lao Fan's Adam's apple twitched, and he swallowed.

"Probably three times that of ordinary people."

The reason why Li Xun told Fan Weizheng about this was because he felt that two people had begun to evolve, and there would be more people in the future. Everyone would know about these things sooner or later, so there was no need to hide them.

The second is to establish a strong and incomparable image in Lao Fan's heart and make him full of confidence.

Before he planned to leave the city as soon as possible, it was more convenient to go alone, but now he chooses to stay temporarily, obviously it is more convenient to have a local who is familiar with the surrounding conditions to help.

At present, it seems that Lao Fan is friendly and smart. The key is that Lao Fan clearly listens to him and hugs him as his thigh. This alone makes him stronger than others. It doesn't matter if he is weaker in combat power. I didn't want to rely on him to kill zombies.

If Lao Fan's performance is good, even if he has to take a detour, he doesn't mind sending him home.

"So powerful!" Lao Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Can I evolve?"

"I don't know." Li Xun shook his head. At present, it seems that the process of starting evolution is long or short. It's really hard to say, but judging from the ratio obtained from the system, it is destined that only a lucky few can start evolution.

"Then how did you evolve?"

"It doesn't feel like it, it suddenly started to evolve."

"Oh, I see. The time of evolution is earlier and later, which means that evolution may have something to do with aptitude, physique, etc. So, Cao Zhiyong and Wang Jianwen are lucky." Lao Fan was obviously envious of these two. people.

"..."

Li Xun didn't know what to say. Lao Fan had a big brain, so he figured it out on his own without him talking. The conclusions were not bad, and the probability seemed to be no problem as a qualification.

"Before, I always thought that this is a zombie and a beast. Will human beings end like this? Now it seems that there is still hope."

"Of course, hope can't be lost. It will definitely get better. Be confident." Li Xun didn't comfort him, but he just thought so, and this has never changed.

"Be confident, if everyone evolves, no zombies or extreme beasts will be opponents."

Now it's all right, Lao Fan's lack of confidence at first has suddenly become full of confidence. If he knows that less than 1% of human beings have evolved, and there will be more powerful extreme beasts in the future, I don't know how he will feel.

Li Xun didn't have the heart to hit him, and reminded: "Remember the first zombie I shot to death with an arrow this morning?"

"Remember, the one in the white shirt."

"How is it different from other zombies?"

"Speed." Lao Fan answered immediately. After all, this point was too obvious. At that time, he felt strange. At this moment, thinking about it again, he couldn't help saying: "You mean that zombies can also evolve?"

Seeing Li Xun nodded, Lao Fan fell silent.

After a while, he asked again: "Will your strength continue to improve after you evolve?"

"meeting."

"How to improve?"

"Absorb energy. Zombies will release energy after being killed, which can be absorbed by the evolutionary."

"Oh, no wonder you want to stay." Old Fan suddenly realized.

After spending nearly an afternoon, Lin Pingchuan and the others finally carved a hole about one meter square in the wall.

Their luck was quite good. After opening a small hole and found that there were no zombies in the aisle outside, they gradually accelerated the progress, because they tried their best to control not to make too much noise, and did not attract zombies from other places, and the process came out smoothly. than expected.

Lin Pingchuan offered to explore the road, but his engineering shovel was deformed, and he got out with a crowbar.

A few minutes later, Lin Pingchuan returned to the warehouse with bad news.

They can't go anymore.
