doomsday lamb

Early the next morning after the battle, Lang Hua's team set off deep into the jungle.

After the battle at Tai Fung Gas Station, the group of survivors was sparsely populated, but Xu was about to reach the finish line, so his mental outlook was much better.

People walked one after another on the path opened by the predecessors, and the only sounds in their ears were the heavy breathing of their companions, and the subtle sound of dead branches being crushed under their feet. There were second-level ability users like Lei Li and Lang Hua in the team.

, there are also ordinary people like Duan Qing who have just entered the evolutionary stage, so they can never increase their speed.

After the disaster broke out, the atmosphere was always filled with a gray mist of varying shades. The mist lingered among the mountains and forests, showing a turbid gray-white color due to the low temperature in the early morning. Looking from a distance, the dense mist followed the mountains.

The wind surged, revealing tall fir trees from time to time. It seemed as if an invisible giant beast was opening its bloody mouth and quietly swallowing the entire mountain.

It was at this moment that the survivor team followed Lang Hua firmly into the jungle of Fengwei Mountain.

The fog was originally bottomless, but when people get closer, they will find that the visibility here is actually pretty good. Although it is early winter, there are still many cold-resistant tree species in the jungle with lush branches and leaves, and many small branches and leaves are mingled above people's heads.

, completely covering the world outside the jungle.

After walking for a while, I never heard a few birds chirping, which made people feel scared. Duan Qing opened her eyes wide and paid attention to the movements around her, and nervously pulled on her brother Duan Hei's sleeve. The others were not much better.

Because I have initially experienced the horror of the apocalypse, I am 200% vigilant against monster attacks that may appear at any time, causing the atmosphere in the team to become increasingly silent and depressing.

In the dark forest, there were only gray-brown fir trees around. Under the trees, a thick layer of fallen leaves accumulated over the years. Dew and mist enveloped them for many days, forming a smell of humus like rotten wood.

Lang Hua, Lin Wenjin, and Yang Bensheng formed a queue in the shape of "pin" to open the way in front. The tail of the team was guarded by swordsmen and the rest of the people were guarded in the center. Hai Ping and Lan Xi were given the awakening potion by Lang Hua last night.

, and now they have transformed into people with abilities. When their abilities were awakened, many of their internal injuries were healed, allowing the two of them to not only return to their peak state, but also go one step further.

However, compared to Lan Xi who volunteered to take care of Yang Xiaoxiao, Haiping was even more taciturn at this time. He was alone in the team with a knife on his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Except for the few crystal nuclei that Lang Hua used to temper the Mo Dao, the rest of the crystal nuclei that could be found in the team were collected by Lang Hua and used to make three evolution potions, which were given to Lin Qian, Haiping and Lan Xi respectively.

Down.

Evolution potions in the apocalypse are usually divided into two types. One is prepared from a large number of ordinary "homogeneous heterogeneous energy crystal nuclei", such as potions made entirely from black corpses and black beast crystal nuclei. The second type is prepared in

The pharmaceutical raw materials are mixed with "homogeneous energy crystal nuclei".

The so-called homologous and same species should actually be understood this way according to the official statement from the "Science Alliance" at the beginning of the third year of the end of the world.

As early as the eve of the catastrophe, the spore black mist infected the earth's atmosphere, giving rise to countless evolved organisms. These organisms all underwent genetic mutations due to this black mist outbreak, and are therefore homologous evolutionary organisms. So currently, on the earth,

All living organisms should be counted as homologous evolution organisms.

The spore community crystals contained in the brains of evolved creatures are also called energy crystal nuclei or evolutionary crystal nuclei. After awakening evolutionary abilities, they are called ability crystal nuclei or special crystal nuclei.

Due to the presence of dominant necromorphs, recessive parasites, and different species types among homologous evolutionary organisms, they are divided into dominant necromorphs such as black corpses and corpse beasts, and recessive parasites such as black beasts and evolvers.

The four of them are homologous and heterogeneous organisms, and the evolutionary nuclei in their bodies are also homologous and heterogeneous nuclei.

As for different individuals of the same species, such as Lang Hua and Lin Wenjin, or Black Corpse No. 1 and Black Corpse No. 2, they are both homologous creatures and the same species, and the energy crystal nuclei in their bodies are of the same origin.

Allogeneic crystal nuclei.

Therefore, for humans, the "homologous and allogeneic energy" crystal nuclei refer specifically to the evolver crystal nuclei. By "obtaining" the crystal nuclei from organisms of the same species, directly swallowing them, or preparing medicines and then taking them. Because the evolutionary information is similar,

Therefore, relatively speaking, the compatibility is stronger, the probability of ability awakening is higher, and the same amount of medicine requires fewer crystal nuclei.

However, although this kind of medicine has powerful effects, it can easily induce cannibalism and violates social ethics. Therefore, it has been widely criticized and has not been brought to the forefront for many years.

And if a special crystal core, that is, the ability crystal core of an ability user after awakening, is put into the original solution of the potion as the main drug, the success rate of the awakening potion will be greatly increased, up to 70% or more.

As the saying goes, if capital has 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; if it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample all laws in the world; if it has 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime.

.And none of the evolvers who can struggle to survive in the apocalypse are desperadoes. A 70% chance of success is almost equivalent to 200% for them. They can't help but be tempted!

As a result, a brand-new drug classification gradually emerged, namely "ability robbing drug". Because it was first discovered in the American theater, the official name is "Rave", or RP-type drug for short.

Depending on the type of catalyst incorporated, this type of potion is divided into enhanced type, plunder type I and plunder type II potions. The effect of the enhanced type of potion is summarized as "promoting the evolutionary ability of people with the same ability", while the latter two make ordinary evolution

There is a chance of awakening some kind of evolutionary ability.

Previously at Lin's Club, Lin Qian swallowed the hegemonic core of Chaosandao with the help of potion, thereby improving her "hegemony" ability to the first stage of perfection. This is the result of the enhanced RP potion.

…

The black mist of spores erupted during the "Day of Arrival", which was the first and most cruel natural selection after the apocalypse began. There were not many people who were lucky enough to escape the fate of corpse transformation, and who happened to not be bitten to death by the black corpse.

In the first night, more than 90% of the world's population was lost. Afterwards, zombies rioted, beasts attacked, and humans killed each other. In the previous life, not even 100 million people survived until the end of the world for three years.

How many capable people are there among them? Only ten thousand!

In 2275, the world's registered population totaled 8.7 billion, and 10,000 people only accounted for 0.00115%. Based on this calculation, the number of people who can survive three years of the end of the world and become capable persons is far less than one in 100,000. The proportion is

It's simply outrageously low.

The smallest number of ability users have the highest status and the best resources in the world, and they are also the mainstay of the front line of human resistance. It can be said that human beings were able to gain a firm foothold three years before the disaster, and were able to achieve the same goal as

The two camps of black corpses and black beasts compete against each other, and the achievements of those with abilities cannot be ignored.

However, the vast majority of evolvers after the cataclysm are unable to awaken their abilities throughout their lives and become espers.

In the crisis-ridden apocalypse, ordinary evolvers who are lucky enough to survive have only three ways to awaken their abilities. The first is to passively wait for the black mist to erupt twice a year; the second is to take the ability awakening potion or the ability plundering potion; the third is to

Devouring various special crystal nuclei of unknown origin, including black corpses, corpse beasts, black beasts, and even dead human beings with abilities.

The third method is the most dangerous, and the first method has the least risk, but it is also the slowest and has the lowest probability. However, no matter which method is used, ability awakening is not 100% achievable. Success depends on talent.

It depends on luck, but also on timing.

In the early days of the apocalypse, people absorb energy by directly swallowing crystal nuclei to increase the energy level in the body and advance to a higher level. At this time, the human body's absorption and conversion rate of foreign crystal core energy is only 30% at the lowest.

After the "vinegar supplement method" appeared, the energy conversion rate of ordinary crystal core potions was about 50% to 60%. In comparison, the success probability of ability awakening potions was even lower, and it never exceeded the 50% mark.

.

Evolution potion is one of the most expensive consumables in the apocalypse. Taking the potion requires spending a lot of money and sometimes even risking one's life. Once it fails, at least three years of efforts of an ordinary evolver may be in vain.

Human beings have used their own ingenuity to increase the energy conversion rate of crystal nuclei from 30% to 50%. Although "roulette" has become a "coin toss", for ordinary evolvers who have neither power nor money,

In terms of ability awakening, it is still a very arduous task.

Until the "Ability Plunder Potion" came out, the probability of ability awakening increased from 50% to 75% or even to 90%.

But the change in the middle is not just a simple number on paper. Because probability is just some kind of big data, and for many evolvers, it may be that they have successfully awakened after taking the potion for the first time and become a human being.

.

For them, ability awakening has always only had two results: 0% and 100%. Now that there is a 100% chance of a sharp increase, how can we not make them crazy!

Let’s talk about the effects of the last two ability plundering potions. Compared with the enhanced type, which can promote the same ability level, the plundering type Ⅰ and plundering type Ⅱ potions are respectively used to promote "ordinary evolvers have a 90% chance of awakening the core."

"Additional abilities" and "Ordinary evolvers have a 75% chance of awakening random abilities".

"Awakening the abilities attached to this crystal core" is naturally a plundering ability, but the second sentence summarized by Kemeng deserves some scrutiny.

Because since it is "awakening random abilities", there is naturally the possibility of useless abilities being generated. Rather than obtaining an unknown evolutionary ability, or failing to awaken the ability directly, it seems safer to directly plunder the original ability in the ability core.

Among the ability crystal cores in Lang Hua's hands, due to the long time since Lao Hu's death, the ability crystal cores have dissipated seriously and are no longer suitable as the main ingredient of the potion.

Whether it is Sun Gui's "Unmoving as a Mountain" or Wang Ming's "Extended Plastic", they are obviously not suitable for swordsmen who pursue lethality and speed.

Lang Hua, who has been reborn, knows how important the appropriate evolutionary ability is for an ability user.

Although people with more than ten thousand abilities seem to be quite a lot, those who possess the most convenient ability, that is, the "destiny ability" are very rare. Many people just constantly change their combat habits on the road of evolution, forcing themselves to adapt to the abilities.

Development, rather than being complementary to evolutionary capabilities.

The strength and characteristics of an evolutionary ability will seriously restrict the development of an ability user in the middle and later stages. It can become a ladder for ordinary people to reach the sky in one step. Naturally, it may also become a fish bone stuck in the throat and a stumbling block on the road.

head.

During the battle at Taifeng Gas Station, Hai Ping and Lan Xi did not take a step back even though they were seriously injured. They had already proven their loyalty through actions. Both of them had good fighting spirit and good temperament. Lang Hua had high hopes for them, so naturally he did not want to

Their talents are wasted.

He prefers to err on the side of failure and use the Predation Type II potion to allow the two of them to continuously awaken random abilities until they succeed. It’s not that Lang Hua has no potion formula to eliminate useless abilities. Even if doing so will waste a lot of resources, he still has to find "

"Destiny Ability" allows them to become the strongest swordsmen and swordsmen!

"Ability Looting Potion" is undoubtedly an evil way to increase the probability of ability awakening.

This method had been widely circulated in the dark corners of the world in the previous life, and Lang Hua only learned of it for the first time when he wiped out the Black Blood Altar branch.

In fact, this method is not complicated. It just needs to replace the ordinary black corpse and black beast crystal nuclei in the potion except the ability crystal nuclei, and replace them with the same type of crystal nuclei with higher compatibility. The higher the level, the more compatible the same type of crystal nuclei.

Ability plundering potions require more evolver cores and higher quality.

Since ancient times, one general's achievements have led to thousands of bones drying up. This kind of thing has always been difficult to overcome, but difficult to overcome.

Thinking of this, Lang Hua couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the corpses of human evolutionaries lying on the ground seemed to reappear in his sight.

"There is movement ahead."

Yang Bensheng's warning interrupted everyone's random thoughts. As soon as he raised his hand, the team immediately stopped and everyone became nervous.

At this time, a few rays of morning light were tenaciously penetrating through the layers of branches and leaves, making the mist in the forest glow slightly orange-red.

When people calmed down, they heard a few whining sounds from unknown animals nearby.

"In front." Lin Wenjin whispered.

"Xiaohua, please stay, Lao Lin, come with me to have a look." Yang Bensheng waved, and people gathered into a group consciously. Those with abilities were scattered outside, and the rest squatted on the ground without saying a word, looking around warily.

But just when Yang Bensheng and the two were about to go to see what was going on, the grass in front of them suddenly shook violently, and the next moment a giant wolf jumped out. This guy was as tall as a calf, and he was all white, except for his ears.

There are some long yellowish-brown hairs on the sides and outside of the legs.

"What the hell!"

Lin Wenjin was startled, raised his hand and struck with a fireball.

But the opponent seemed to be more agile than expected. He just jumped to the side and dodged the fireball attack. After that, his eyes towards the crowd became more and more hateful, and the brown eyes in the black squinting eyes shrank into a straight line.

Lin Wenjin couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.

Only then did people see clearly that there was a lot of dark red blood on the giant wolf. The left front leg was dripping with blood. It was half lifted off the ground, as if it had been bitten hard by something.

Wolves are social animals. A group of wolves can range from 5 to 3.

0 is also possible. Lin Wenjin couldn't help but become vigilant when he thought of this.

"It's a snow wolf. How can there be a snow wolf in Fengwei Mountain?"

Yang Bensheng backed away cautiously, trying to distance himself from the giant wolf: "You have to ask the executors of the 'Returning Forest Movement'!"

"Ridiculous! These idiots are letting loose wildly, I can't wait to catch them and feed them to the wolves now!"

"Don't think about it. It was the beginning of the century at that time, and all the people had died in the past seventy years. It would be better to ask your grandfather to go there." Yang Bensheng glanced at the other party's lower abdomen, and then reminded, "It's a mutated female wolf.

, be careful that the alpha wolf is nearby!”

Wolf packs have always been composed of nuclear families, led by the strongest couple. They are typical upper-level predators in the food chain. In their habitat, only high-level species such as humans and ligers can

pose a real threat to them.

However, compared with southern provinces and cities, the ecological recovery of the Fengwei Mountain area after the "Reforestation Movement" is not complete. Looking at the size of the female wolf, she should not be an ordinary member of the wolf pack. Perhaps when the black fog broke out, this

The wolf also received a lot of benefits.

"Ouch——"

The female wolf let out a low howl, and four wild wolves jumped out from the trees on the left and right of the team. These four wild wolves were relatively small, only as big as a large dog, but they looked long and thin, and they were expected to be fast.

A black beast.

They surrounded the crowd from left to right, with their wolves' paws stretched flat, their back fur standing on end, their lips wrinkled so that their incisors were exposed, their tails raised flat, their backs arched, and from time to time they let out threatening roars.

"ah--"

Duan Qing belatedly let out an exclamation, then covered her mouth tightly, grabbed Xiao Heizi's sleeve and did not dare to move again, for fear of becoming the first target of the wild wolf.

Xiao Heizi couldn't hold his breath, and a wind blade on his right hand slowly took shape, urging Lang Hua: "Leader!"

We can't wait any longer. Wild wolves are ferocious and flexible, and are the kings of the prairie who are good at hunting. Maybe those with abilities are not afraid of these beasts, but ordinary evolved people may be injured by them!

Lang Hua winked at Yang Bensheng and the two people at the front, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Skilled people, follow me. Aunt Ping, the rest of the people are left to you!"

People in the west generally believe that wolves with lighter hair are more aggressive. In fact, this snow wolf is indeed extremely difficult to deal with. When the giant wolf jumps, its huge claws are flying, and no one dares to resist.

.The wolf's fangs are thick and terrifying, and even the wolf's tail is thick and powerful, like a hammer.

With just one face-to-face encounter, Lin Wenjin, who was unprepared, was "swept" out. He had taken the lead before and had obviously been resented.

"Old Lin, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Be careful, this beast is very strong."

"Xiaohua, let me attract its attention. You are ready to take action at any time!" Yang Bensheng no longer hesitated, raised his hand and threw out a few water balloons to harass.

The speed of the water balls was not slow. Most of them were not avoided by the female wolf and hit the wolf directly, causing the latter to keep retreating. However, the water balls failed to cause any actual injuries, so while the female wolf shook her head, there was a look of being teased on the wolf's face.

The anger at the end actually seemed quite humane.

"Ugh!"

The she-wolf pounced again in a blink of an eye, but unexpectedly, a dead branch pierced the ground half a meter in front of her like a sharp arrow. The dead branch penetrated the soil for a full three inches, and its tail trembled slightly, which was enough to show the power of this blow.

The female wolf couldn't help but startled, and her attacking movement stopped abruptly.

But more attacks are coming.

"Divinity-Control!"

Water sources are not widely distributed in the jungle, but dead branches and leaves can be seen everywhere. Those dead branches and leaves that were originally lying at the feet of everyone, at this moment, under the control of Yang Bensheng, turned into countless sharp arrows, and the sharp blades were shot at them!

"Whoosh——"

"brush--"

Fallen leaves and dead branches are already on the verge of decay, but with the blessing of "spiritual thoughts" energy, even the dead leaves have turned into "blades" with sharp edges.

But the next moment, these "sharp arrows" and "sharp blades" just smashed into the wolf one after another. Apart from making the female wolf even more angry, they did not cause any substantial damage.

"What?"

Only then did people see clearly - the wolf fur had a faint silver-gray sheen, perhaps with some good defensive properties.

Yang Bensheng's mind control was limited by the environment and could not exert its maximum lethality.

But he was not discouraged, instead he clenched his right fist tightly, and there seemed to be a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

"Think!"

The next moment, people only felt that the airflow in this space seemed to be still for a moment, and then they saw a "fist" as big as a bull's head suddenly appeared in the mid-air. The fist was translucent, and as soon as it appeared, it was as fast as lightning.

It came down with such force and hit the female wolf in the side!

"Bang!"

After this string of airflow columns penetrated the space and hit the target, they immediately dissipated invisible. Only then did people feel that the breeze around them had picked up again and the air flow had returned to smoothness.

"Ouch——"

The female wolf was knocked to the ground and rolled several times. After getting up, she let out a cry of pain, and a blue-purple electric light flashed when she opened her mouth.

Soon after, a bolt of lightning rushed towards Yang Bensheng's face! Yang Bensheng instinctively backed up, but the speed of the lightning was too fast and it was unexpected. How could he avoid it?

"Brother Sheng!" "Uncle Yang!"

Lin Wenjin was worried, but he saw a vague figure rushing past him. It was Lang Hua!

At this moment, Lang Hua's "Crystal Core Field" showed its power, and the space-time stagnation effect was activated instantly, winning a precious moment for him and Yang Bunsheng.

"Surge! Re-engraved-Fengxing! Re-engraved-Phantom!"

All the sounds around him suddenly disappeared, and the spherical space with a radius of five meters seemed to have turned into a slow-motion photography. Yang Bensheng was staggering back, Lin Wenjin opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the she-wolf bared her fangs in preparation for the next attack.

Even Lang Hua's thinking seemed to be frozen, his brain movement slowed down, and he was unable to think quickly.

In a matter of seconds, Lang Hua was not allowed to think too much. He was just constantly using evolutionary skills related to speed, hoping that this explosive power would allow him to break through the constraints of space power and increase his speed by another level.

Close, a little closer. Still a little short, just a little short!

Lang Hua opened his mouth wide and let out a silent roar. Finally, he jumped up, unsheathed the Mo Dao, and with a "swipe" sound, it lay in front of Yang Bensheng.

"Bang!" There was an explosion, and a plume of green smoke immediately appeared on the ground. Lang Hua and Yang Bensheng flew out together from the smoke.
