They set off at dawn, but when Lin An decided to take a break, it was already four in the afternoon.
The main reason was that Jiang Qingxue and the others 'Stamina Points were almost at the bottom.
Lin An was still alright. The black light continued to devour the mutated zombies, turning them into energy that was fed back to him. The black light also continued to grow stronger in the battle, but his Martial God talent seemed to be of less use.
Lin An pondered for a moment before finally coming to a conclusion." The intensity of the battle was too low.
Most of the mutated zombies could not survive for more than a few seconds in front of him. It was not a battle at all, but a party for Black Light.
Lin An couldn't help but sigh at this. In order to obtain the fastest rate of improvement and become stronger, one needed to fight evenly.
But now, unless he deliberately created trouble, the possibility of him being in danger was still too low.
Forget it, I won't force it. In the real world, I still have to be steady.
After Lin An met up with his team members, he decided to find a building to rest in. He wouldn't be going back today.
Currently, according to his exploration method, he had already cleared out almost one-third of J-City. Tomorrow, he would be able to filter through J-City completely. Even if he did not solve all the dangers, he would at least have to deal with all the mutated and powerful monsters.
When the time came, he would leave it to the rats to harvest. If he could awaken a new rat king in advance to work, he could even reclaim J City while eating hotpot in the camp.
"Let's do it here."
Lin An stopped in front of a hotel chain that used to be quite famous. He had already investigated the situation inside, and there weren't any powerful mutated zombies. Furthermore, the largest suite was still empty.
Although it hadn't been cleaned for a while, it was still better than the place where zombies used to live.
The others naturally wouldn't have any objections.
As expected, the elevator broke down. The city's power supply had already stopped. Fortunately, climbing up the stairs was nothing for them. They walked up the stairs to the top floor of the 21st floor. It did not take them much time.
Opening the door was even easier. The black light in Lin An's hand passed through the crack in the door, and a second later, the door was opened from the inside.
It was a three-bedroom, two-living room, and two-bathroom suite with an area of more than 300 square meters. It could be said that it was a luxury house that was rarely seen before the apocalypse.
Lin An didn't hesitate to eat dinner.
After cleaning up a few supermarkets, he had looted a lot of things. He had taken a lot of food and drinks. It was very convenient for the rats to carry them for him.
"Go ahead and cook. I won't be eating if you guys are done.”
Yan Shi was stunned when she heard Lin An's words. She looked at the pile of food in front of her and asked,"Did you not get enough food?"
"No, I'm different from you. I have other ways to fill my stomach. It's difficult for me to fill my stomach by eating now.”Lin An explained before lying down lazily on the sofa.
In the living room, Lin An could see the streets and skyscrapers of J City through the large floor-to-ceiling window. Many of the once-iconic buildings were right in front of him, and he even saw a huge Ferris wheel.
The huge Ferris wheel naturally stopped spinning. The carriage swayed in the wind, reminding him of the trip to the amusement park before the apocalypse.
"Hurry up and cook. When the sun sets, it won't be easy to clean up without the light.”
Lin An urged the girls to prepare dinner.
He took two gas stoves. He only needed to install the gas tank and he could cook with gas.
Instant noodles, ham sausages, instant fried rice, canned meat, canned vegetables, and chocolates as desserts.
For the few of them who had been eating instant hot food and canned food every day for the past few days, it was already a rather sumptuous dinner.
Lin An also brought a lot of drinks, such as Coke.
"Lu Yao, I want to drink iced Coke." Lin An had originally planned on not eating anything, but when he saw Lu Yao take the cola and gulp it down, he suddenly felt a little hungry.
Lu Yao didn't refuse. She giggled as she took a cola and chilled it before handing it to him."If I could go back to the time before the apocalypse, I probably wouldn't even need to buy a refrigerator.”
"Xiaoxiao is the happiest, right? If she can go back, wouldn't she become rich in minutes?”
"What is Qingxue suitable for? Is she suitable for performing magic?”
The group of people joked around and relaxed their tense mood today.
Lin An's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at Jiang Qingxue. There was a cut on the combat uniform on her right arm, and a scar could be vaguely seen inside.
Jiang Qingxue sensed Lin An's gaze and unnaturally pulled up her sleeve to hide her wound.
Lin An didn't say much. With the abilities of evolved humans, such wounds would gradually disappear in two to three days. However, he still controlled the rats to work. Before long, he found bandages and disinfection tools for him.
"Remember to get Lu Yao to help you with it later. It's better than nothing.”Lin An raised his chin at Jiang Qingxue, who was eating. Jiang Qingxue followed his gaze and saw bandages.
She couldn't help but chuckle softly as she looked at Lin An with a gentle gaze.
"The opponents I've found for you today aren't particularly strong. They're generally the kind of monsters that only specialize in protruding and strengthening their bodies.”
"Tomorrow's difficulty will increase exponentially.”
Lin An, however, began to talk about tomorrow's arrangements.
" There were many powerful mutated zombies when the rats were active today," he said seriously." The mutated humans have already noticed them. However, they have brains and didn't fight. Instead, they chose to withdraw and observe."”
"I reckon that with their patience, they won't be able to hold it in any longer tomorrow. At the very least, there will be some probing.”
"Tomorrow, we won't split up.”
Lin An paused for a moment before continuing,""Go and rest after eating. I'll be in charge of guarding at night.”
The few of them who had relaxed a little earlier unconsciously tensed up again.
Lu Yao sighed." I hope that we can reach the Lone Boat Island you mentioned soon. It'll be good if we can have a safe home."”
Lin An smiled." That's right. When we get there, we can think about how to defend the island. At least we'll have some time to catch our breath. Oh right, get Yin Xiaoxiao to charge your phone tonight."”
Lu Yao nodded to show that she understood Lin An's words, but her eyes were a little heavy.
Of course, most of the rest belonged to them. Lin An still had a hard life.
After eating and drinking their fill, they went to rest together while Lin An stayed in the living room.
He sat in front of the French windows with his eyes closed to gather spiritual energy, or he took time to strengthen some equipment. Then, after exhausting his mental energy, he continued to rest. When he was tired, he would admire the moonlight.
Without electricity, the city was like a ferocious monster at night.
The tall buildings that rose one after another glistened under the moonlight.
On the streets, rats could occasionally be seen dragging away some poor zombies that had lost their way.
It was midnight, and the date was now the 28th of August. Lin An began his simulation again.
Then, he looked at the simulation results and nodded in satisfaction.
[August 28th: In the early morning, you discovered a mutant secretly observing you. You used a group of rats to follow it to confirm its location. After a battle, you led the team to chase after it and finally successfully eliminated the four mutants.]
You guys continue to clean up the city.
[August 29th: You found Lu Yao's friend in advance. After a confrontation, you decided to let Lu Yao decide whether she stays or leaves. In the end, you brought her back to the colony.]
[August 30th: You continue to use the rat group to clean up the city. You also use a large amount of food to evolve one of the best ones. In the end, you obtain a rat king.]
[August 31st: After focusing on strengthening Yan Shi's sniper rifle, you feel like you're about to break through ahead of time.]
September 1st: You were preparing to leave J City, but were asked to stay by Yuan Long for a day. That day, you focused on training your spiritual power, and your spiritual energy seemed to have broken through a level. You had a new understanding of many talents.
September 2nd: You obtained a satellite phone and successfully made a call with the Beijing Research Institute. The research institute has begun to listen to your suggestion and use mutated animals to research the evolutionary drug.
Lu Yao's friend had successfully evolved.
September 3rd, You set off for Severny.
Lin An looked at the simulation interface quietly, and his brows relaxed a little. This was mainly because of Lu Yao's friend.
From the fact that he hadn't killed his 'friend' in the simulation, Lin An could tell that the problem was still within his understanding.
Although he didn't know why Lu Yao's 'superficial friend' hated her, since he had let her live in the simulation, it meant that her value in life was greater than her value in death.
Perhaps it was useless to him, but for the colony, every additional posthuman was a good thing.
It didn't matter. As long as the simulator was still there, even if Lin An had made a wrong choice, he could still make up for it before the results showed up.
He was not afraid of making mistakes. As long as he had the simulator, his mistakes could be salvaged. In other words, he had to constantly try and make mistakes in the simulator to find the best solution.
September 6th, you arrived at Severny. After communicating with Leonis, you did not receive any information. However, through your friendly attitude, you obtained two mutated giant eagles.
After that, the simulation process was very ordinary, except that he received more help and attention in the colony after arriving in N City.
It seemed that he had to act as quickly as possible this time. The stronger he displayed his strength, the more authority he would have.
Lin An deliberated for a moment before deciding to follow the results of the simulation for the next few days.
He would deal with the mutated zombies and mutated humans in the city today, and he would find Lu Yao's friends tomorrow.
However, why did he break through in advance?
Lin An pondered for a moment before shifting his gaze to the group of rats. Could it be that evolving a rat king in advance would be beneficial to my spiritual power and indirectly increase the speed at which I absorb spirit qi?
Let's try.
Closing his eyes, Lin An focused on sensing the spiritual power network that controlled the rats. After a while, he finally came to a realization and muttered in delight,""It turns out that even though maintaining the control of the rat group requires one to use one's mental power, the rat group will also feed back.”
"The spiritual power from the rat group is actually able to automatically increase my spiritual power like the one I obtained in the county city.”
Lin An then looked at the ability he had obtained from the morgue in the county town and made a new discovery.
"The extent of the increase has increased. Could it be that the talent of spiritual force training is not just to continuously nourish and increase my spiritual force, but rather by a percentage?”
"Increase in percentage."
Lin An was overjoyed. Even though he didn't know about these things, he would still enjoy the benefits. But now that he had discovered these facts, he still felt as if he had hit the jackpot.
"I still have to continue exploring these abilities.”
Lin An thought for a moment and suddenly made up his mind.
In this simulation, he didn't meet the posthumans who would provide him with the ability to teleport.
Perhaps it was because of the change in time.
"The potential of this ability is also very great. I can't miss it.”
Lin An began to recall the dates of the previous simulations.
In the previous simulation, he left the colony on September 2nd and headed to Severny. On the way, he met the group of Evolvers.
He tapped his fingers on the table and finally made a decision.
"We must leave on September 2nd.”
Counting the time, including today, he only had five days to stay here.
Just a little faster.
Then, they would arrive at Lonely Boat Island before the 15th. In October, they had to start preparing to accept evolvers. They had to use a month's time to prepare in advance, including collecting the necessary resources.
Lin An's mind flickered, and the rat group that had been relatively quiet suddenly began to speed up their activities. They began to sweep through the area at night, digging out all the zombies that were hiding in the surroundings.
Lin An had singled out a few particularly strong individuals who could enjoy the most food and accelerate their evolution. When the time came, he would see who could evolve the fastest and focus on raising them.
This way, perhaps the Rat King's evolution speed would be faster.
They had to finish cleaning up today and find Yin Xiaoxiao's friend tomorrow. Then, they would start preparing to leave.
He hoped that he could get a satellite phone to call the Beijing Research Institute after speeding up.
Lin An collected his thoughts and closed his eyes to continue channeling spirit qi.
Today, it was clear that there would be a bitter battle.
