Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 50 Speculation on Mutation Evolution
Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Speculation on Mutation Evolution
There were six corpses in the hallway, including Liu Erlong’s.
Most of them were killed by Liang Yuan, with Zhao Kai and Ding Yan also delivering finishing blows.
However, the greatest damage was caused by Liang Yuan.
The system automatically determined that these mutant creatures were killed by Liang Yuan.
Six corpses, plus Mao Xiaoqiang, Qian Li, Qian Li’s son Zhou Jie, and Chen Hu’s two henchmen who blocked the door earlier.
In just half a day, Liang Yuan had killed more than ten people!
And his points had reached an unprecedented 104 points!
Of these, Liu Erlong contributed the most, giving 20 points by himself!
Others like Mao Xiaoqiang also contributed around 7-8 points each!
The most surprising to Liang Yuan was Qian Li’s son, who also contributed a full 9 points!
Second only to Liu Erlong among all mutant creatures!
How exactly does the system determine the point value of creatures?
Although Liang Yuan had some guesses, he was not very sure yet.
He rested for a moment and then looked at the severely deformed head of Liu Erlong’s corpse, his expression heavy.
"In Liu Erlong’s final moments, something terrifying seemed to happen."
"Those red scales on his face not only increased his defense but also significantly boosted his strength in an instant."
With his strength attribute twice that of an average person, Liang Yuan almost couldn’t suppress Liu Erlong.
It was conceivable that the burst of strength from Liu Erlong in that moment nearly doubled that of an average person!
So, what exactly happened to Liu Erlong?
What caused him to undergo such a transformation suddenly?
Liang Yuan already had an answer in his heart.
He stood up and asked Zhao Kai, who was in a daze, "Is your hand okay?"
During the fight, Liu Erlong’s sudden burst of strength had crushed Zhao Kai’s wrist.
Zhao Kai came to his senses, looked at his swollen wrist, and endured the pain as he stood up, saying, "It’s probably broken."
Liang Yuan frowned. At this moment, there were no medical conditions available.
He said in a deep voice, "Let’s go back first and think of a way together. I’ll handle these corpses."
Then he turned to Ding Yan and said, "Call Old Ma and Cai Zhi out."
Before Ding Yan could knock, Cai Zhi had already opened the door on the opposite side. Seeing the corpses outside, he froze and his face changed slightly. He quickly asked, "Are you guys alright?"
Old Ma also looked out with a kitchen knife, his pupils contracting slightly.
He shouted, "Xiaoliang, are you alright?"
"I’m fine. Zhao Kai’s wrist is fractured. You guys take him back for care. I’ll clean up here. Later, Brother Cai and Old Ma, you two come with me."
"Where to?" Old Ma asked instinctively.
Liang Yuan looked at Liu Erlong’s corpse on the ground and said in a deep voice, "To take over Liu Erlong’s assets, and to deal with his henchmen."
The two immediately felt a chill in their hearts. Liang Yuan’s methods terrified them.
Ding Yan immediately said, "I’ll go with you."
Liang Yuan looked at her and saw her determined expression. He nodded slightly.
He bent down and started scavenging the corpses.
Mainly searching for keys on them.
Without keys, even he would have a hard time breaking in.
He found several keys, and also in some pockets, discovered cigarettes, chocolates, and bread.
For people now, the most precious things were undoubtedly food, followed by cigarettes and alcohol.
In this apocalyptic flood, these items were indeed used up, one less with each use.
After scavenging, Liang Yuan checked the corpses, wanting to see if anyone else had similar transformations to Liu Erlong.
But after searching, he found that besides Liu Erlong, no one else had undergone any changes!
It seemed that the only one who mutated was Liu Erlong!
Yes, mutation!
Liang Yuan speculated that the anomaly with Liu Erlong was the mutation the system repeatedly mentioned!
"Mutant creatures, that’s what mutation is."
He thought to himself.
"The others did not show obvious mutations, likely related to mutation progress."
He glanced at his system panel.
Host: Liang Yuan
Constitution: 0.8
Strength: 1.9
Agility: 0.8
Spirit: 0.7
Mutation Progress: 1%
Points: 112
Lottery Items: Lao Gan Ma, toilet paper, soap...
"If everyone has a panel, then this mutation progress should be something everyone has."
"As the leader of this group, Liu Erlong must have had enough to eat every day. So, he probably ate a lot of mutant fish from the flood, making his mutation progress the highest among everyone."
"That’s also why the system gave me as many as 20 points for killing him."
Liang Yuan analyzed in his mind, "Another point is that Liu Erlong must have reached some critical mutation progress point, so while others didn’t change, he showed clear mutation traits."
"What is this critical point? Mutation progress reaching a certain level? Or is it his intense will to survive in the face of death that triggered the mutation?"
He pondered over all this with a frown.
His hands were not idle, as he experimented several times with the bizarre red scales on Liu Erlong’s face.
After testing, the scales were indeed very hard.
He needed to use all his strength to break the scales with a steel crowbar.
And his full strength was twice that of an average person.
This meant if an average person held a weapon, they might not be able to break these scales at all!
Realizing this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
"Mutation... Evolution..."
"Luckily, I acted fast. If Liu Erlong’s mutation had progressed further, even I might not have been able to handle him."
He was shocked and suddenly thought of another problem.
"There are many people in this building eating mutant fish, though not as much as Liu Erlong."
"If these people continue to eat mutant fish, won’t they eventually mutate and evolve similar abilities to Liu Erlong?"
"And beyond this building, there must be more people like Liu Erlong!"
At that moment, a sense of urgency rose within him.
He was lucky to get a strength attribute, thinking he could surpass most people and have some self-protection ability.
But Liu Erlong’s mutation shattered that sense of security instantly.
"No, I must get stronger quickly!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He immediately looked at Liu Erlong’s corpse, frowning again.
"But if mutation requires turning into such a monstrous form, this price..."
He felt a bit resistant, then had another idea.
"Maybe I can keep drawing, getting more attribute points, and directly increase my strength through points."
"But adding points seems to increase mutation progress too."
His thoughts raced as he threw all the corpses off the building.
The floodwaters roared, instantly swallowing the corpses.
Liang Yuan watched the murky waters, filled with various marine creatures jumping out, his heart full of mixed feelings.
This was the true apocalyptic flood.
