The creation of the Black Light Doppelganger was extremely simple.
All he needed to do was to split a portion of the black light and let it devour an individual on its own.
However, the price was that these black lights that didn't come into contact with Lin An weren't something he could control with a single thought.
It felt a little like he was using his spiritual power to link up with the Rat King. Lin An looked at the half-meter-tall black rat before him with its lifeless eyes, and he actually felt as if his limbs were connected.
"Left."
He narrowed his eyes as if he was using his spiritual power to possess the rat king. He gave the order, and then the rat started running around him to the left.
His spiritual power once again transmitted a thought to the right, and the black-light rat began to run to the right again.
Lin An estimated that it was still alright. It was just like how he maintained a spiritual power network at all times. Multitasking was more than enough for his current spiritual power.
Of course, it could also be related to the fact that this Blacklight Rat was still too weak.
Perhaps as it grew stronger, Lin An would need to expend more and more spiritual power to control it. Only when he retracted it back into his body would it be as easy as controlling the black light in his body.
"Go, go to the sea."
Lin An ordered.
Although going to land would help him clean up the surroundings, the zombies and murlocs nearby were all for the mutated plants to grow.
The boundless sea was the most suitable for the development of the black light.
In the deep sea, there were probably countless mutated fish that were fighting each other and evolving.
Lin An suddenly felt a little worried. Perhaps, in the future, other than the troubles on land, the troubles in the deep sea would be the biggest.
It was just that the environment they lived in was enough for them to be restless, so they did not come to the land to cause trouble for the time being.
Perhaps one day, a mutated animal in the ocean would emerge victorious in the competition for evolution and eventually become the king of the deep sea. It might even start competing with the creatures on land for the dominance of the planet.
However, Lin An heaved a long sigh of relief. He didn't want to think too much about it.
He would deal with whatever came his way. He did not believe that he could not find a way out.
After dealing with the trouble on the ground, he would think of a way to explore the ocean.
Lin An pondered for a moment and felt that using the black light to do this was very suitable.
It could match the environment and enter the deep sea. It could also be controlled by his spiritual power and even possess his spiritual power to observe the situation.
It was equivalent to having an extra eye.
Even if he accidentally got into trouble and the black light that he had split off died, it wouldn't have much of an impact. At most, the energy that it had accumulated would be gone, and Lin An's main body wouldn't be affected.
Lin An had already conducted experiments on the dead Black Light. Black Light was also a subject of death. Even though its vitality was extremely strong, if its energy was really depleted or its most basic cells were destroyed, it would turn into a pile of black ashes.
There was nothing left.
Of course, if there was a bit of black light left, the black light would have a chance to pass through some creatures that it had unintentionally attached to. The filthy soil would reincarnate, devour them, and make a comeback.
Lin An guessed that he might have the ability to do the same. If he really died in an accident one day, as long as he could retain a portion of the black light and attach it to his spiritual power to escape, he would still have a chance to come back to life.
Of course, it would be hard to say if talents like the Martial God's talent would still exist at that time. At the very least, Lin An didn't want to have the chance to try it out. His current body was quite good.
"Squeak!" The Blacklight Rat in front of him leaped into the ocean.
Rats couldn't swim, so when the black light clone fell into the water, it was stunned for a long time. It couldn't swim much and instead fell directly to the bottom of the water.
After it sensed the situation, black lines suddenly appeared, making its hands and feet seem to have grown flippers. It swam in the water like a duck.
A mutated carp was attracted by the struggling rat. Its meter-long body opened its mouth and was about to swallow the rat.
The black-light rat did not resist and allowed it to swallow it.
Then, the carp began to twitch like lightning. After a while, countless black blood vessels spread out, and a black carp swam in the ocean.
"Not bad, that's it."
Lin An retracted his gaze in satisfaction and continued to use his spiritual power to drive the black light clone into the deep sea. He ate whatever he saw along the way and took a detour to avoid unnecessary damage if he encountered anything dangerous.
The reason why the black light could digest and devour was also related to its own energy. It was almost impossible for such a weak black light to swallow a large mutated animal that was more than ten meters tall in one go.
If some mutated fish had strong resistance and some immune cells in their bodies, it was very likely that they would be devoured by the black light and lose their teeth. They might even have to cut off their tails to survive.
Of course, when the black light was strong enough, it was basically just a matter of time.
No matter how many low-level fish he swallowed, there was a limit to how much of an improvement Lin An's battle-hardened black light would have.
Soon, Lin An gave up on watching the black light play the game of 'big fish eating small fish'. After controlling its direction of movement, he let it play by itself.
He got on the motorcycle and returned to the gathering place.
The rest of the time was still busy with daily life.
Dealing with documents, studying mutated plants, and occasionally changing his mood to study spiritual energy or Divine Eye, the use of black light, observing the situation of the black light clone, including the situation of a few parasitic animals.
Apart from that, Lin An also had to plan the distribution of resources. If he lacked anything, he had to organize people to search for it and collect the corpses of murlocs and zombies to catalyze the plants.
Most importantly, Lin An was still trying to combine his talents.
For example, when the Divine Eye worked with a Plant Manipulator, the research speed would often soar. His eyes could see a lot of information that he did not know, helping him eliminate the wrong options and even providing some powerful ideas for mutation.
Another example was Lin An's attempt to combine spirit qi with mutated plants, and the results were gratifying. He could also use spirit qi to produce mutated plants and even greatly increase the intelligence of these plants. However, the consumption of spirit qi was relatively high, whether it was to create spirit qi cyclones or to directly irrigate them.
But even so, Lin An still tried to use his spirit qi to continuously improve the quality of the plants in an attempt to cultivate an excellent seedling of a mutated plant.
Lin An didn't even let go of his Equipment Master talent. He had been trying to figure out how he could make this talent work for a Plant Manipulator.
To be more precise, he was trying to develop a mutated plant that could be strengthened.
Time flew by.
Every day, Lin An was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground. In exchange, the construction speed of the camp was also as fast as a miracle, causing people to gasp in amazement.
Time flew by, and it was the night of September 14th.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few people in the tent of the command center tonight. Almost half of the seats were occupied. It could be said that the people who had been entrusted with important tasks by Lin An in the past few days were all here.
However, Jiang Qingxue and Cheng Peng were missing.
Lin An's satellite phone suddenly rang.
"Lin An, this is Yuan Long. We've arrived near N City!”
Yuan Long's voice was filled with joy.
" I know." Lin An smiled calmly." I've already asked Little Jiang and our security chief, Cheng Peng, to bring some people to pick you up."”
"Hmm?" Yuan Long was stunned for a moment before he chuckled and said,"I always forget about your ability to predict the future. Alright, we were just afraid that we wouldn't be able to find our way in the dark.”
It wasn't that he couldn't find the way, but he was worried that he would disturb Lin An by arriving late at night.
Yuan Long had originally planned to organize a group of people to go over tomorrow morning, but he had no choice. Along the way, there were many people who had to eat and sleep in the open. He was anxious again and again to speed up. Many people really wanted to sleep soundly today.
He had no choice but to call Lin An at 10 p. m., which was considered late at night even for the apocalypse.
"Thank you for your hard work. The welcoming banquet and accommodation have been prepared.”
Lin An's words warmed Yuan Long's heart, and all his previous worries disappeared.
He laughed heartily." Brother, you're still the best. However, there's no need for a welcoming banquet. We're not that important."”
" That's for sure," Lin An joked." Don't get me wrong. This welcoming banquet is for everyone, including the new residents. You're just an extra."”
"What? Hahahaha!" Yuan Long was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud."Then I'll look forward to it! Hey, I see a light. It's probably your people. I'll hang up first.”
"Alright." Lin An hung up the satellite phone.
He turned his head and looked at the logistics department head, Wenshan.""Is everything ready?"
Wenshan was also delighted. He smiled and said,""Of course, Superintendent Lin has already given me what I need. If I don't even know how to open my mouth to eat, then I've lived for nothing!”
They had thought about it for a long time, and in the end, they still decided to give Lin An the title of director.
The colony had gradually evolved into a qualified fallout shelter. Even the code name had changed from the original number to a code name.
Dawn Break.
Lin An gave the name that he had planned to give to the Tinder Base to the current Shelter of Dawn.
He hoped that this place would become the dawn of hope for mankind in the future.
The Research Institute also confirmed the name change. After all, with the destruction, loss of contact, and merger of many of the original colonies, the original numbers were no longer useful.
At present, there were only three places that could be connected to and have merged many colonies to form a large fallout shelter.
In the Hidden Dragon Sanctuary near the research institute.
Dawn Shelter near N City.
The other was the Foolish Old Man's Sanctuary, which was built in the mountain city. It was located in a remote mountain forest.
These three shelters carried the last hope of mankind.
As for the other gathering places, they were too far away to come over. There was no other way. Everyone had to find their own way out. Don't expect to face the zombie tide head-on. Find a place to hide. At least avoid the nuclear bombs. We'll talk about reinforcements in the future when there's an opportunity.
There were also some colonies that did not listen to orders, or rather, they had their own ideas. They moved to suitable areas and self-destructed.
Of course, other than that, there were many other gathering places. Communication was gradually cut off, and no one knew the exact situation.
However, Lin An had received some news from the research institute. According to the satellite observations, many colonies had fallen apart for various reasons.
The worst was that all of them died.
"Acting Director." Lin An corrected Wenshan's statement. In fact, he was already prepared to step down when Old Yuan arrived.
"Sigh, Chief Lin, can't you just not go and get that Lone Boat Island?”Wenshan sighed reluctantly.
He looked conflicted." Look, we've developed from a colony to a fallout shelter. Can't you do what you want in our fallout shelter?" he whispered.”
Lin An shook his head and didn't give a direct answer.""Even if I go to Lonely Boat Island, it doesn't mean that I don't care about you. It's just that relatively speaking..."
Too many trivial matters had already taken up a certain amount of his energy.
It had been a long time since he last chatted with Little Jiang and the others. He would occasionally have a drink that Yin Xiaoxiao conjured and chat with them while they ate.
Lin An also wanted to speed up the construction of Lonely Boat Island and make preparations. After the zombie horde was over, he would discuss with the research institute the issue of talent reserve and the transportation of precious equipment.
If he could arrange everything before the nuclear bomb arrived, Lin An might be able to solve some of the major problems that might arise in the future.
For example, he could get his family to send a few nuclear bombs in advance to destroy the 'parasitized city' that appeared in the simulator in advance.
Or he might as well go ahead and investigate. That kind of terrifying thing couldn't have suddenly appeared because of radiation after a nuclear bomb exploded. There was an 80% chance that there were clues in the early stages.
Lin An also wanted to find the hidden mutants and the mutated zombies behind the zombie horde.
There were no small matters.
It wasn't as if Lin An hadn't thought of trying to stop the nuclear bomb crisis, but the simulator had limited time and couldn't simulate the nuclear explosion in November yet.
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Wenshan could only sigh and stand up.""Then I'll go and prepare now? They should be arriving soon."
"Go. They have been living in fear and trepidation all the way here. No matter how bad our situation is, we have to at least cheer them up.”
"After all, there are still many things to do in the future. Even if it's a little simple, we can't do without these. At least let them feel at ease. That's the main purpose of our work.”
"Emotions are contagious, and mental state affects work efficiency.”
" Only by letting them truly realize the beauty of the fallout shelter and treat it as their last home can they muster the courage to face the difficulties.”
" Don't worry." Wenshan nodded solemnly and said," I won't fail the mission!"”
After saluting, he turned around and left with the two of them.
At this moment, the gathering place, or rather, the fallout shelter, was brightly lit.
The fragrance of food permeated the tent, and the laughter of children could be heard. One could even hear the sound of music and faint laughter.
What Lin An and Wenshan were talking about.
It was about the welcoming banquet.
Lin An thought about it for a long time before deciding to do this. Rather than calling it a welcoming banquet, he preferred to use the word " celebration " to describe this event.
This time, the migration was far away.
There was also the gathering place near Severny, as well as two small gathering places that had almost crossed provinces. They had crossed thousands of difficulties to gather together.
The route from J-City to the gathering place was still manageable.
However, the journey to the colony from other places was extremely difficult. If it weren't for the fact that the zombie horde had yet to form, the most dangerous thing in the vicinity, which was the mutated animals in Severny, would have been temporarily won over by Lin An.
There was no way for them to meet up with Yuan Long in these small colonies, let alone go to N City alone.
Lin An had received quite a bit of news these days. Some faraway colonies also wanted to join the fallout shelter, but the journey of over a thousand kilometers was too much for Lin An to handle alone.
He had considered bringing people to rescue them, but just going back and forth would not be enough to bring them here before the zombie tide.
Even Lin An wasn't confident that he could bring everyone back when he encountered a massive zombie tide outside.
In the end, Lin An could only suggest that they hide for now and wait for the zombie horde to pass before he organized his men to find a way to bring them here.
It was precisely because it was so difficult and arduous that Lin An had to prepare such a feast.
When it became lively, they would forget the uneasiness and confusion of the past and integrate into this fallout shelter, or rather, fall in love with this fallout shelter.
Only then could people give up on their precarious thoughts and summon up their courage to defend their lives.
Moreover, nothing could relieve mental stress better than a lively festival.
Lin An stood up and walked out of the tent as well.""Let's go and welcome our friends.”
"I hope the new home we prepared for them is satisfactory.”
After Lin An finished speaking, the others exchanged glances and smiled.
Pushing open the door, the others felt that they should be busy or they were a few steps behind.
Lu Yao and Yin Xiaoxiao seized the time to walk to his side and walk alongside him.
"Hello, Inspector Lin!" The children ran past Lin An, but they all stopped when they saw him. They gave him a lively and respectful salute, and when he nodded, they ran away with a smile.
"Inspector Lin, you want to come and taste my roasted meat later! I have so much mutated mutton, you have to eat some!”An uncle shouted at Lin An from afar while carrying a pot of marinated roasted mutton.
"Inspector Lin! The watermelons you grow are delicious after being juiced. You must come and try one later!”There was also an auntie holding a glass jar. The watermelon juice inside looked very delicious.
Lin An, who had been called out, only smiled and responded to each and every one of them. He looked at the originally numb and idle people who were now brimming with enthusiasm and energy.
Lin An looked at everything before him and suddenly felt a strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
He walked out of the tent and passed through the cement wall.
Outside, rows of six-meter-tall treehouses were neatly arranged. In the middle, on the flat street, people set up stalls and tables. There were even red lanterns hanging high.
More than a dozen chefs were waving spatulas around the large kitchen that had been built temporarily. All kinds of ingredients emitted an alluring fragrance.
"Lin An."
Lu Yao suddenly spoke.
Lin An turned his head and saw his face reflected in her bright eyes.""You're really amazing."
He smiled, but before he could say anything, he saw Yin Xiaoxiao hugging his arm tightly and whispering with admiration and pride,""Yeah, Lin An."
"You must be the most amazing person in this world.”
Lin An suddenly felt a little emotional.
He looked at the two of them, the smile on his face gentle and firm."In the future, it will be even better."
"Yes!"
Looking at this scene.
It was as if he had returned to the time before the apocalypse.
Yin Xiaoxiao and Lu Yao believed this more than anyone else.
