Way to Become an Evolutionary

Upon seeing that there were small shining pieces inside the plastic bag, Luo Yang couldn't help but lightly exclaim.

Immediately after, he used his skill "Eye of Truth" on the small shining pieces.

[Energetic Core (Level 0)]

[Description: An energetic core condensed in the heads of zombies, which can be used to increase the strength of those who have awakened talent.]

"So this is what can increase strength?"

Luo Yang's eyes couldn't help but shine.

Originally, he was going to ask Jiang Huo later how to become an evolutionary, but it seems the answer is in these energetic cores.

After all, if he becomes an evolutionary, his resistance will consequently increase, and his absorption scope will also expand.

Maybe in the future, he could absorb all the impact energy and be unharmed by bullets from pistols, machine guns, and even missiles or nuclear bombs.

By then, if he released all the stored energy, how terrifying would it be? Maybe the world would be destroyed!

Worthy of being a true divine-level talent!

'But why hadn't I thought about checking the zombies' brains? This is so cliché!'

Jiang Huo, who didn't know that Luo Yang had the Eye of Truth, seeing that he seemed to be in doubt, couldn't help but explain.

"Reporting to the Supreme Commander! These shining pieces are energetic cores, which we can obtain from the brains of zombies after killing them."

"Refining them is the only way for those who have awakened talents to become evolutionaries..."

"Also, the energy contained in them is the main energy source for the spaceship..."

When Luo Yang was about to say that Jiang Huo didn't need to explain, he heard this last part and his attention fully returned to it.

"Are you saying that the spaceship uses these energetic cores as an energy source?", Luo Yang asked quickly.

"Exactly! The spaceship's monthly consumption, when converted to level 0 energetic cores, will be equivalent to 300,000 energetic cores," Jiang Huo calmly reported.

But upon hearing this number, Luo Yang's face couldn't help but slightly contract.

300,000 energetic cores!

This means that 300,000 zombies need to be killed every month!

Even if the entire population of Wenxian City turned into zombies, that still wouldn't be enough to keep the spaceship running for a year!

"Wait... level 0 energetic core?" Luo Yang suddenly focused on this part.

He had just seen this term in the "Eye of Truth", and now Jiang Huo was mentioning it again.

"That's right, Supreme Commander!"

"Level 0 energetic cores are obtained from common zombies, while level 1 energetic cores come from level 1 zombies, whose strength is already equivalent to that of a first-level evolutionary!"

"The difference between a level 0 energetic core and a level 1 is five times, and this proportion between each level remains until reaching level 5."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang's concern didn't decrease at all.

After all this didn't solve his problem of obtaining 300,000 energetic cores next month!

He couldn't possibly find 60,000 level 1 energetic cores, right?

"Wait… isn't this something I could charge in exchange for allowing them to live on my spaceship?"

Luo Yang's eyes couldn't help but shine at this thought.

If he charged three energetic cores per day from each person living on the spaceship, then, if it were full, he wouldn't be collecting 900,000 energetic cores per day?!

Not to mention the amount needed to keep the spaceship running, he would practically have enough resources to turn all his subordinates into evolutionaries!

And asking the survivors to kill three zombies a day wouldn't be too much, right?

"Besides, these energy bars that I can buy in the system, ten units for just one point... I could sell them for one energetic core each inside the spaceship!"

"Not to mention that if I create a new currency with real value inside the spaceship, I could even set up a mall and sell food and medicine!"

"In this way, I wouldn't even need to worry about energetic cores in the future!"

Thinking about it, Luo Yang became more and more satisfied.

After coming back to himself, he looked at Jiang Huo in front of him and spoke.

"Let's go to the Strategic Food Reserve, my siblings will probably be hungry when they arrive."

Of course... there was something Luo Yang didn't say.

Although he had thought about food now, this idea only came up because he was actually making an excuse to himself to go out and try to kill zombies.

"Yes, Supreme Commander!" Jiang Huo answered respectfully before asking, "Any specific food?"

"I'll go with you," Luo Yang shook his head slightly.

If he didn't go with Jiang Huo, how could he test his theory that he could increase that progress bar by killing zombies?

Wait... If people get stronger by refining these energetic cores, couldn't this be the method to increase my progress bar?

However, he didn't have time to think about it further, as Jiang Huo quickly interrupted him.

"This is impossible, Supreme Commander! It's too dangerous! Why don't you let me go get whatever you want?"

Upon hearing that Luo Yang was about to go out personally, Jiang Huo immediately panicked!

With his loyalty, how could he allow Luo Yang to risk getting hurt?

If Luo Yang suffered even a scratch while he was around... Much less Luo Yang, he himself would never forgive himself!

"This is an order!" Luo Yang spoke in a commanding tone.

Although he knew Jiang Huo was doing this to prevent him from taking risks, he couldn't help but get a little irritated when he said he couldn't do it.

After all, even though he wasn't an evolutionary yet, he had a divine-level talent, right?

Even if Jiang Huo attacked him with all his strength, Luo Yang doubted he could hurt him!

"As ordered, Supreme Commander!" Jiang Huo immediately obeyed.

Now that Luo Yang gave the order, he had no choice but to comply.

For him, all orders from Luo Yang were sacred and inviolable!

"However, to get to the Strategic Food Reserve on foot, it will be necessary to cover at least three kilometers. Wouldn't it be better to move the flying saucer to the entrance?" Jiang Huo immediately suggested.

Even though he couldn't prevent Luo Yang from going out personally, he could think of the safest way for this to happen.

Besides, both places were extremely large, and even to move around inside them, small vehicles were required.

Now, imagine crossing to the neighboring location through these steep mountains!

If it were so easy, how could no survivors have arrived after 7 days?

Or maybe they did arrive, and Jiang Huo took care of it... Luo Yang simply didn't care.

Anyway, this place is his territory now!

Upon Jiang Huo's suggestion, Luo Yang couldn't help but nod slightly.

Although he still wanted to test the progress bar, walking three kilometers through this mountain was really dangerous.

Naturally, he had no reason to take unnecessary risks.

With a rumble, the spaceship immediately took off.

As soon as it took off, Luo Yang couldn't help but ask Jiang Huo while playing with the plastic bag containing the energetic cores:

"How do you use these energetic cores?"
