Extreme Cold Evolution

A few minutes later, Lin Shi finally recovered.

Unlike Xu Qin, who fell into a coma after unlocking the first genetic lock, the intense pain he experienced was also shorter than hers.

Most importantly, he didn't feel much pain.

Pain was still there, but it was far from unbearable.

"Is there an individual difference in genetic locks?"

Lin Shi was puzzled in his heart, but he put this question aside for now.

There was a more important issue at hand.

He walked towards the mutated wild boar that was already dead.

The mutated beast should be the "first-order source beast" mentioned by the treasure pot.

So how to absorb the so-called "source power"?

Lin Shi squatted in front of the wild boar and fell into thought.

[Detected unowned "source power", absorb? Yes/No]

A line of text suddenly appeared on the treasure pot interface.

Lin Shi's spirit was lifted, and he said, "Yes!"

[Please maintain physical contact with the source beast.]

[Note: The absorption of source power cannot be interrupted during the process.

If interrupted, the source power will dissipate and cannot be obtained again.]

Interruption means it cannot be obtained?

Lin Shi hesitated for a moment, put the wild boar's corpse into space, and walked towards the safe house.

He didn't know how long the process of absorbing source power would take.

Although there was no one around at the moment, it was better to be safe than sorry, so returning to the safe house was the safest option.

Lin Shi quickly returned to the safe house, patted the devil's head, motioned for it to stay in the living room obediently, and then walked into a utility room that was originally intended to store some miscellaneous items.

He took out the mutated wild boar's corpse from space, and the treasure pot interface prompted again:

[Detected unowned "source power", absorb? Yes/No]

Lin Shi let out a sigh of relief, placed his hand on the sticky fur of the wild boar, and said, "Yes."

As Lin Shi's voice fell, the invisible source power was drawn from the mutated wild boar and poured into his body through the palm of his hand.

Lin Shi felt that the hand and the whole arm that touched the wild boar were slightly warm.

Then there was a kind of comfort from the cells to the soul that spread all over the body.

Two minutes later, this feeling stopped.

After that, there was no more feeling.

When Lin Shi withdrew his hand, he still felt a bit unsatisfied.

"Is this the feeling of evolution?"

He smacked his lips, put the wild boar back into space, and went to wash his hands.

Soon he found that his walking speed was a bit faster than before.

Lin Shi tried his strength again, which was also a bit stronger than before.

The overall physical fitness has probably improved by about 10%.

He could be sure that source power was the key to rapid human evolution!

Lin Shi remembered that when the end of the world just began, the treasure pot underwent a mutation:

[The solar storm has arrived, the geomagnetic storm is forming, and the "source" material is being rapidly generated]

Source power can make creatures evolve.

This so-called "source" material is the key for creatures to get source power and evolve.

Obtaining "source" material, forming source power, is the key to becoming stronger.

In the previous life, scientists had already discovered that animals and plants had mutated, while humans were just more cold-resistant.

This proves that this "source" material can be passively absorbed by animals and plants, but humans cannot, humans must actively absorb it.

That's why there was the "resonance" technique in the previous life.

After practicing "resonance" for two years, Lin Shi clearly felt that his physical fitness had improved, otherwise it would not have been possible to kill a mutated beast in cooperation with others.

He remembered that since the beginning of the end of the world, he had not practiced "health preservation formula".

Now is a good opportunity to try out the Nourishing Formula and Resonance to see which is more powerful.

Saying that, Lin Shi directly began to practice the "Nourishing Formula" in the living room.

As he expected, after practicing a set of the Nourishing Formula, the warm feeling in his body became more noticeable, and he also had a tingling sensation similar to when he absorbed the source power.

Lin Shi tried "Resonance" again and found that the effect was much worse than that of the "Nourishing Formula."

It was at least more than half worse.

With a flick of his palm, the "Nourishing Formula" appeared in his hand.

It was still in a dirty and tattered state.

"Nourishing Formula, Resonance..."

If he encounters that fat Taoist priest again, he must ask where this "Nourishing Formula" came from.

Lin Shi put the "Nourishing Formula" away again.

Ordinary people can unlock their genes, and now even mutated beasts have appeared.

This apocalypse is no longer like the one in his previous life.

The outside world will soon become dangerous.

Lin Shi turned his head and looked at the Demon King, who was lying on the carpet beside him, staring at him curiously, and patted its head, saying:

"Demon King, let's work hard to become stronger together!"

"Wang!"

"Eat game tonight!"

"Wang!"

...

In the evening, Lin Shi dealt with the mutated wild boar.

The huge body of the mutated wild boar looked at least more than four hundred jin, very large.

He had heard in his previous life that the meat of mutated beasts was very delicious, and he had long wanted to try it.

Lin Shi first cut a large piece for the Demon King, then fried a few wild boar steaks for himself.

It must be said that the mutated wild boar did not have the hardness of ordinary wild boar meat, nor did it have any fishy smell.

It was chewy and full of fresh fragrance.

Lin Shi ate seven pieces in one breath before stopping.

Even the Demon King ate two more pieces and was still not satisfied, licking its mouth.

This may be related to the life essence of the mutated beasts that have been transformed by the source power.

After a full meal, Lin Shi wanted to go out for a walk to digest.

The Demon King also wanted to come out, but it was now hairless, and Lin Shi was worried that it would freeze, so he found a piece of clothing and modified it to dress it.

The Demon King was obviously a bit unaccustomed to it, but it still accepted Lin Shi's wrapping.

It had already started to snow heavily outside.

In just a few hours, there was no trace of blood on the ground.

Looking down at half of the county town from the mountain, it was pitch black.

Occasionally, there was a faint light in some houses, which should be candles lit.

"Demon King, there will be no more lights in thousands of households in the future."

Lin Shi looked at the dark world and said in a low voice.

He now understands the meaning of this apocalypse.

Human beings have been at the top of the food chain for too long.

This apocalypse may be forcing humans and other creatures to start competing again.

As for why the first two apocalypses were restarted, he also has a guess in his heart.

Human beings are used to relying on external forces and have forgotten to improve themselves.

In the first few years of the previous life's apocalypse, human beings still wanted to restore the technological civilization.

Lin Shi can imagine that after his death, in the decades after the apocalypse, the rate of evolution of animals and plants far exceeded that of humans, and their reproduction rate was several times faster than that of humans.

And human beings, one step behind, step by step behind, eventually led to extinction.

As the only person who knows, Lin Shi's heart seems to be pressed by a big stone.

What should he do?

The Demon King looked up at Lin Shi, seemingly feeling Lin Shi's heaviness and struggle, and came over to rub Lin Shi's leg.

One person and one dog stood on the dark snowy ground, silent.
