The drifting city of the last days

"Upgrade?" Shao Yunfan and Luo Zhen looked at each other, "You mean mutants can still be upgraded?"

"I'm not sure if all mutants can do it, but I think what I've experienced is upgrading." Lan Shan looked at his hands, his eyes mixed with confusion and confusion, "Although I still have human consciousness and thinking ability at the beginning , but it can only be maintained in the state of dead wood, and the stretchable length limit of the root system is only two or three meters. It depends on absorbing water and the flesh and blood of mutated fish. Now I can not only transform back into a human, but also change into a tree, and the root system can stretch in one direction The length has also grown to about ten meters."

"You only drank water and the blood of mutated fish?" Luo Zhen dug out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Lan Shan. The world is full of unknowns and dangers. It is a fluke for them to survive today. Strength is the guarantee for their survival.If mutants can really upgrade, it is undoubtedly the best way to increase their strength, and it is best to find a way as soon as possible.

Lan Shan unscrewed the water bottle and drank half of it in one gulp. Then he let out a long breath, "It doesn't have to be fish. I will eat whatever passes by in the water as long as I can catch it. At the beginning, I will feel very hungry and want to see everything. Eat. Every time I am too tired to stretch out the root system, I stop hunting and rest for a while."

Can't reach the root system?Luo Zhen frowned. Lan Shan, like other mutants, has a limit of ability?

Shao Yunfan unconsciously pinched his knuckles one by one, "If you upgrade because you drank water or ate those mutated creatures. But we also often eat, why didn't we find anyone upgrade?"

"No, we don't eat it often." Luo Zhen said thoughtfully, "We eat instant noodles or biscuits most of the time, but we rarely eat those mutated things." Including Boss Lei and Zhou Ye, they have In the case of rations, everyone will give priority to the original food.

"So if we want to upgrade, we should call on everyone to eat more mutant creatures?" Shao Yunfan stared at Luo Zhen.

"Perhaps," Luo Zhen nodded, "There should be two possibilities for the reason for the upgrade of Lanshan. The first is that there is something in the water or mutant organisms, and these things are absorbed and accumulated by mutants to a certain extent. It can lead to "upgrade". There is another kind of limit promotion. Lan Shan just said that he would rest every time he was too tired to move. My instructor said before that there is a way to improve physical fitness very quickly is to keep repeating The process of depleting replenishment and depleting replenishment. This ability to mutate may also be enhanced by this.”

Lan Shan shrugged, "Anyway, apart from what I just said, I can't think of anything else."

"Could the things contained in those mutated creatures be spiritual energy?" Shao Yunfan had a flash of inspiration, and bumped his elbow into Luo Zhen's knee.

Luo Zhen's body froze. Indeed, not only mutated animals, but also enhanced human bodies had the same aura light clusters in their bodies. He had personally seen the so-called evil spirit swallowing the light clusters floating out of two enhanced humans.Could it be that the aura in the mutated human body will be upgraded when it accumulates to a certain level?

"Aura?" Lan Shan looked at Shao Yunfan, "What is aura?"

"You can regard aura as a kind of energy. All kinds of things in the world contain this kind of energy, but it is so small that it can be ignored. It is said that the breathing of Taoist priests and the cultivation of spirit monsters are all actively improving themselves. Aura. Accumulating a certain amount of aura in a living body, it will change the physique of the creature and stimulate some supernatural abilities. We suspect that the mutant animals or humans that appear now are all due to the surge of aura in the body under certain conditions The result." Luo Zhen then told Lan Shan about the overall conjecture about the end of the world and the virus that they had discussed before.

"Then how can I explain my situation? Can mutation change the overall structure of human beings across species?" Lan Shan asked curiously.

Luo Zhen shook his head, "I can't figure this out for the time being. Apart from you, the currently known mutations can basically be divided into three categories: mental system, physical system, and natural system."

"It's not that simple. Isn't there a lot of stories in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio where goblins and humans combine? Fox spirits, flower spirits, etc. Lanshan's ancestors may have the blood of peach blossom demons, and now they are inspired when they mutate." Shao Yunfan's mind was wide open. While practicing Qi circulation these two days, he was also thinking about a problem. If there is really spiritual energy, cultivation is a real thing. Is there something else about the mountain goblins in the movie?

Luo Zhen & Lan Shan: ……………

The sound of water splashing outside suddenly increased, and Lan Shan turned his head keenly to warn, "Something is climbing up outside."

Shao Yunfan and Luo Zhen were startled, and quickly stood up and retreated a dozen steps away from the wall, waiting in the direction of the sound of water.Lan Shan's body elongated rapidly, bursting the clothes he had just put on, shaking twice, and turned into a peach blossom tree full of flowers and branches in front of Luo Zhen and Shao Yunfan. The pink flowers and branches were cold and cold, as if Hiding something.Shao Yunfan curiously shined the flashlight upwards, only to find that there were hundreds of sharp scalpels curled up on the branches of the peach tree like Avalokitesvara.

Shao Yunfan: ……………

He should really thank Lan Shan for not killing him just now, so many knives could cut him into one hundred and eight pieces in a minute.

In the cone-shaped light beam of the flashlight, a red crab claw slowly emerged from the edge of the wall. Lanshan's trembling branches were ready to go, and the tips of the knives vibrated and struck each other, making a clattering sound.

"Wait!" Shao Yunfan quickly stopped Lan Shan when he saw the familiar giant crab claw, "It doesn't seem to come to attack us."

A giant king crab slowly poked its head out from the roof, stretching its eyes and looking around at the roof.If you look carefully, there is a ridiculous length of white rope clamped on the somewhat deformed claws of the crab, which was obviously caught by Wu Fei and tied the rope during the night shift.

"It's a friend, a friend." Shao Yunfan signaled to Lanshan not to be nervous, and ran to the big crab first, stretched out his hand to pick up the smooth part of its shell, patted it, and took the rope, "Thank you!"

The giant crab stretched its eyes, shook Shao Yunfan twice, let go of the crab claws holding the rope, and slowly retracted into the water with a "gudong".

Lan Shan turned back into a naked man in human form, and asked in surprise, "Is this crab also a mutant?"

"No, it's the food reserves raised by my friend." Shao Yunfan tightened the rope and tied a knot on the protective railing on the roof.

Blue Mountain:………………

"Put it on first, a few of our friends will come over later." Luo Zhen flipped out another suit and handed it to Lan Shan. This man took the initiative to stand in front of them just now, and he has a good heart.

Without much effort, Wu Fei, Qi Liang and Zhang Junjiu followed the zipline to the top floor of the food building, and the three of them even brought a few crabs.

"Brother, are you okay?" Wu Fei jumped off the zipline and rushed over. He was so worried that he wouldn't be able to wait until tomorrow, so he simply urged Qi Liang and Zhang Junjiu to come over directly.

"We're fine," Shao Yunfan and Luo Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief seeing the three of them intact, "but you, how could that mutant let you go?"

Zhang Junjiu clenched his fists tightly, lowered his eyelids, without a trace of a smile on his face, "I...killed him." Before today, he never thought that he would kill a living person with his own hands.

killed?Shao Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that with Zhang Junjiu's ability, it is really easy to kill anyone.Although that person's ability is powerful, the most important thing is to take advantage of the surprise.It is because they are too careless and underestimate the maliciousness of others.

Luo Zhen walked over, patted the heavy-faced Zhang Junjiu on the shoulder, and slowly stretched out his fist to signal the other party to fight him, "Brother, thank you for helping me do what I want to do." The heart was shocked when he killed someone for the first time. And guilt, he knows better than anyone.Regardless of the name, the psychological suffering to bear is huge and difficult.

Zhang Junjiu's lips moved twice, but without making a sound, he slowly stretched out his fist and bumped into Luo Zhen's.

"Come, come, let me introduce you to a new friend." Shao Yunfan also roughly guessed the reason for Zhang Junjiu's bad face, and hurriedly changed the subject, dragging Lan Shan to meet Wu Fei and the others.

The arrival of the three of them helped a lot. Not only did Shao Yunfan and the others change into dry clothes, but Wu Fei also grilled some warm crabs for everyone to fill their stomachs.The six people sat on the top of the building, eating the fat grilled crabs to their heart's content.Lan Shan smacked his lips in satisfaction and sighed, "Sure enough, it's still delicious."

"By the way, Lan Shan said that mutants should be able to upgrade." Satisfied, Shao Yunfan repeated the discussion before Qi Liang and the others came, including Luo Zhen's activation of the ice ability.

"Brother Luo Zhen, that's so cool." Wu Fei stared at the ice pick in Luo Zhen's hand.

"We can try it at the same time. Upgrading is very important for us to improve our strength." Qi Liang's eyes sparkled, five people, three mutants, if they can upgrade smoothly, their chances of surviving will be geometric multiple growth.

"Then shall we continue south now?"

"I suggest going to a place where there are people, so as to find out if there is any news about people who strengthen the healing system." Qi Liang was the first to express his opinion.

"Where are you going? If it's okay, do you want to act with us?" Luo Zhen turned to look at Lan Shan.

Lan Shan hesitated for a moment, looked at the empty crab cover in his hand, "Well, I have nowhere to go anyway."

The next morning, Shao Yunfan was woken up by Wu Fei, "Brother, look!"

Wu Fei jumped up and pointed to the distance, where a huge black shadow was breaking through the morning fog and slowly approaching from a distance.

"Boat?" Shao Yunfan's voice was full of uncertainty.
