The dark age of mankind is coming

Zhang Ren first took a deep breath to calm down the tension and restlessness in his heart.

Then he began to try to absorb the energy stored in the crystal core in his hand.

Without much effort, in just a few seconds, Zhang Ren felt that there was a surge of energy gushing out from the inside of the crystal core he held in his hand.

Following Zhang Ren's palm holding the crystal core, it entered directly into his own body and gradually flowed into his eight extraordinary meridians.

At the same time, the energy in the crystal core, carrying a violent emotion, also entered Zhang Ren's body along with the energy in the crystal core, and finally accumulated in Zhang Ren's consciousness.

However, because the energy stored in a primary crystal nucleus is limited, the violent emotions contained in it are even rarer.

Therefore, Zhang Ren, who was absorbing the energy in the crystal core, did not notice anything other than energy that could enhance his own abilities.

The crystal core that was originally shining with strange light gradually dimmed as the energy stored inside the crystal core gradually decreased.

As more and more energy entered his body, Zhang Ren could clearly feel that the metal power he had just been inspired to acquire was gradually getting stronger bit by bit.

About five minutes passed, and all the energy stored in the crystal core was completely absorbed by Zhang Ren.

The crystal core, which was originally as bright as a diamond, now completely dimmed, looking like a piece of gray glass.

Zhang Ren exerted a little force on the crystal core in his hand. The previously hard and strong, diamond-like crystal core suddenly turned into powder like a piece of brittle candy. .

When the cool breeze from the vertical air conditioner used for cooling in the security booth blew, it turned into a small cluster of gray-white powder crystal nuclei, which flew directly from the center of Zhang Ren's palm and scattered on the ground around Zhang Ren.

Looking at the dissipated crystal nuclei, Zhang Ren understood that the crystal nuclei formed in the zombies' brains were just containers for storing energy and were disposable consumables.

After the energy inside the crystal nucleus is consumed, new energy will not be generated again.

The crystal core loaded with energy will directly become a useless and fragile shell.

Zhang Ren stood up from the ground, concentrated, and tried to use metal powers again.

Because he had just activated his superpower and was not very skilled in using it, it took a while before the familiar metallic luster appeared again, covering Zhang Ren's arm.

Zhang Ren was surprised and said: "It's really useful!".

The metal covering both arms now looks thicker than before it absorbed the crystal core.

This shows that An Ning's conjecture is correct. The crystal nuclei evolved in the zombie's head can indeed help humans improve their acquired superpowers.

In the following time, Zhang Ren tried to cover other parts of the body, using metal particles in the air to condense and make sword-like weapons out of thin air...

Until he felt that the powers in his body were exhausted and could not be mobilized, Zhang stopped and returned to the property to rest in the dormitory prepared for the security personnel on duty.

……

8-08 villas, a peaceful home.

After returning from the security booth at the gate of the villa area, An Ning first took a look at the piranha seedling that was still absorbing the spiritual spring water in the flower pot. After making sure that it was okay, she disappeared directly from the house and entered the luck space. .

"An Zai?" Looking at An Zai who had doubled in size in the Lingquan Pool, An Ning called out with some confusion.

The small spiritual spring pool belonging to An Zai was now completely filled with An Zai, who had doubled in size.

Hearing An Ning's voice, An Zai, who had just fully integrated the power of the Tengu bloodline, opened his eyes, jumped out of the spiritual spring pool, kicked his legs hard, and arrived at An Ning's side.

An Zai looked at An Ning, who seemed to have shrunk a lot, and said, "Master! Why did you suddenly shrink?" He walked around An Ning in confusion.

After listening to An Zai's question, An Ning looked at An Zai, who was standing in front of her and was as tall as herself, and said helplessly: "An Zai, it's not that I've gotten smaller, it's that you've gotten bigger!".

An Zai opened his two big round eyes like two black pearls, opened his mouth that looked like a bloody mouth at the moment and asked: "Am I getting bigger?".

An Ning nodded heavily to An Zai and said, "Yes." Then An Ning walked to An Zai's side and touched a pair of shiny black hairs on An Zai's back that were folded like bat wings. of cartilage wings, "Not only did you get bigger, you also grew a pair of wings.".

An Zai asked in disbelief: "Wings? Aren't those only things that birds have? Have I turned into a big bird?".

"Pfft!... Hahaha..." An Ning laughed out loud as she looked at the intimidating big dog An Zai with its extremely sharp claws and teeth, showing an expression that resolutely refused to be a bird. .

An Zai looked at the smiling master with an aggrieved expression, as if to say, "Master, you don't like me anymore!".

"Ahem..." After coughing twice, An Ning suppressed the laughter in her throat and comforted: "No, An Zai, you have not turned into a bird, you are still the original big dog, you just have two more dogs." Only wings."

After hearing An Ning's explanation, An Zai raised one of his front paws humanely, patted his chest, and said, "It's okay! As long as he's still a dog and hasn't turned into a bird."

Birds are different from dogs. Dogs eat meat and bones, but birds eat soft fleshy insects.

If you let it eat soft bugs in the future, "yue!", just think about it, it will feel too disgusting. If that happens, it is better to let it go back to the mother dog's belly again.

Seeing An Zai's sudden change, An Ning asked with concern: "An Zai, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Or something is wrong?".

After feeling his physical condition, including the pair of newly grown wings on his back, An Zai shook his big dog head at the inquiring master and said: "Master, I feel that I am very good now. Not only is there nothing I have an uncomfortable feeling, but I feel like I have an inexhaustible powerful force in my body."

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with An Zai's current body, An Ning asked him again: "An Zai, what's going on with you? Why did you suddenly become like this? What happened?"
