The Blue Pill

The next day, the fourth day of the apocalypse began.

Early in the morning, Lin Shi was practicing the "Nourishing Life Formula" in the living room.

Knowing that practicing the Nourishing Life Formula could make him stronger, he naturally spent more time cultivating.

Last night, after returning to the safe house, Lin Shi also practiced the Nourishing Life Formula for several hours until his limbs were too tired to lift, then he stopped and went to sleep.

After a night's rest, he also figured it out.

He is just one person and cannot control the whole world.

Even if he went to the authorities and said that this is the third end of the world, and humanity needs to start improving themselves from now on, instead of thinking about restoring technological civilization.

The authorities would not believe his words.

They might even arrest him and force him to reveal how he knew all this, or even kill him in an attempt to seize the treasure basin.

The best result would be to control him and make him a tool for the upper class.

Lin Shi is not yet great enough to sacrifice himself for all of humanity.

With the treasure basin, the Nourishing Life Formula, and knowing the truth of this apocalypse, he has already stood ahead of everyone.

What he should do most is to make himself stronger and stronger.

Only by becoming strong enough to make the authorities wary of him can he have the power to speak with them on an equal footing.

If an ant cannot affect the world, then a giant can.

Moreover, he also wants to see if this world is worth saving.

Worth how far he should go.

Anyway, the worst result is just to perish together.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi's mind flashed through the faces of the Shen family.

His eyes turned extremely cold in an instant.

People like Shen Fanren do not deserve to live well.

The demon king, who had been staring at Lin Shi's cultivation, widened his eyes when he saw Lin Shi suddenly reveal a terrifying expression, and unconsciously leaned his head back.

...

After the cultivation ended, Lin Shi rested for a while, made two ham sandwiches, boiled more than thirty eggs, and soaked two cups of milk, sharing half with the demon king.

In this regard, he and the demon king are quite compatible.

Both of them have a big appetite.

After breakfast, he reinstalled the previously removed camera back on the cat's eye of the outer door.

A snowstorm had already started outside the house.

The world is one color, and the sky is full of vast white snow.

The outdoor temperature has dropped to minus thirty-one degrees Celsius.

The villagers who fled did not come to trouble again.

I don't know how many people were taken away by the cold in their sleep last night.

At this time, they are probably too busy to take care of themselves.

The official supplies mentioned by Li Wei before have not been seen for the time being.

Lin Shi can think that the temperature drop is too fast and sudden, and the authorities originally wanted to distribute lighting supplies to appease the people, but they didn't expect that whether they can see the light at night is no longer important.

What people need more is to keep warm and cold-proof items.

Food.

He is not thinking about official supplies, mainly to see how far the Sha City authorities can do.

Back in the safe house, Lin Shi changed the medicine for the demon king's wound.

The demon king's wound recovery is amazing, not only did not get inflamed and infected after a day, but there are some signs of scab.

For safety, Lin Shi gave the demon king half a tube of anti-inflammatory injection.

After the injection, the demon king walked back and forth in the safe house, looking at the door frequently.

It seems a bit too energetic.

"I will take you out when you are healed."

Lin Shi said helplessly.

He thought about it, and remembered that there were some pet toys in the collected pet items before, which should be taken out to let the demon king kill time.

"I will find some toys for you to play with."

Lin Shi communicated with the space with his mind, and his consciousness swept through the vast space.

Suddenly noticed a box.

"Eh?"

In a flash, there was an extra box in his hand.

"This is..."

This is the box that Shen Jinbin's bodyguard wanted to bring into the hospital in a briefcase before.

After swapping the box with a pistol, Lin Shi was busy rushing back to the safe house.

He had completely forgotten about the existence of this box for the past few days, and only remembered it just now when he saw it.

The Demon King saw an extra box in Lin Shi's hand and brought his bald head over to sniff it.

"Not this one."

Lin Shi pushed away the Demon King's dog head, and in the other hand, he already had a ball, throwing it to the Demon King:

"You play with this."

However, the Demon King only glanced at the ball and then turned his head to stare at the box in Lin Shi's hand, seemingly more interested in the box.

Lin Shi couldn't do anything about it, so he said:

"Then let's look at it together, but I don't know what's inside either, so you should be careful and stay a bit further away."

The Demon King obediently sat on the sofa on the other side of Lin Shi.

Lin Shi carefully opened the box.

Inside, six blue pills were neatly arranged.

They looked very similar to the blue medicine obtained from No.2.

Only the shape was different, and they were larger.

The Demon King had somehow already come over, sniffing at these blue pills.

These pills were originally supposed to be delivered by the security guard to Shen Jinbin for saving his life.

What exactly are these?

Lin Shi picked up one.

The moment he touched the pill, the Treasure Pot suddenly prompted:

[Detected trace amounts of "Source" substance, absorb? Yes/No]

Lin Shi was slightly shocked in his heart!

These pills actually contained "Source" substance?

Now he knows very well what "Source" substance represents.

Shen Fanren was able to extract this substance before the end of the world?!

Lin Shi's expression was serious, and he said directly:

"Yes.

Absorb!"

The next second, a faint warm current flowed into Lin Shi's body from where his finger touched the pill.

Lin Shi only felt a slight warmth in his arm, and then there was no reaction.

He felt it.

The feeling of absorbing the pill was a bit similar to absorbing the source force before.

But the effect was not even one-thousandth of the source force.

And the source substance contained in the pills left by No.2 was even more pitiful, and the Treasure Pot didn't even prompt when Lin Shi held it in his hand.

This made Lin Shi feel a bit relieved in his heart.

If there was a lot of source substance in these pills, then he would have to reconsider whether to seek revenge on the Shen family.

No.2 had said before dying that Shen Fanren was cultivating gene warriors.

If there was a lot of source substance in these pills, it would mean that Shen Fanren was likely successful.

Now it seems that it hasn't happened yet.

And these pills seem to be very precious to Shen Fanren.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought over six pills when his own son was about to die.

Turning his head, he saw the Demon King sniffing the pills, looking very eager, and Lin Shi asked:

"Do you want to eat it?"

Demon King: "Wang!"

Source substance is useful for both humans and animals.

But this amount of source substance is not as much as practicing "Yangsheng Jue" once for Lin Shi.

Lin Shi generously threw the pill into the Demon King's mouth.

The Demon King swallowed the pill and licked his lips.

Seeing that the Demon King had no other abnormal reactions, Lin Shi fed all the remaining five pills to the Demon King.

It was originally an unintentional act, but he didn't expect to receive an unexpected surprise the next day.

The next day, as soon as Lin Shi woke up, the Treasure Pot in front of him suddenly prompted:

[Detected a first-order source beast within two meters nearby]
