Surviving In A Wasteland: I Can Evolve Endlessly - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Increase In Power

(Please specify the evolution direction.]

Zhou Yuan replied without hesitation,

“Strengthen my body and increase my strength. Don’t do any other evolutions or mutations.”

Whether it was the unknown path of evolution or the strange mutation, Zhou Yuan did not want any of them at the moment.

His physical strength was the most reliable.

(Received.)

As soon as the system’s voice fell, a familiar pain filled his body again. Zhou Yuan could not help but bend his body and clench his fists so tightly that his veins were popping out.

After a moment, the pain disappeared, and what followed was an endless sense of relaxation.

It was as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted.

After getting used to it, Zhou Yuan’s eyes searched the room.

Ultimately, he chose a stainless steel spoon.

He held it with both hands and rubbed it. The hard spoon was like plasticine.

It was constantly changing its shape in his hand.

This kind of power was simply inhuman.

Zhou Yuan felt that he could almost be considered as having the legendary indestructible body of Vajra.

The defense and strength of this body were truly frightening

The 1,000 gold coins had not been spent in vain.

Zhou Yuan stretched his arms and legs in satisfaction before lying comfortably on the sofa.

The construction of the base was already in order, and his strength had risen again. He could not find an opponent.

What should he do next?

Zhou Yuan was at a loss.

At this moment, a buzzing sound made his eyes light up.

Zhou Yuan turned around and rushed out. Upon reaching the outside of the house, he quickly caught the culprit who caused the buzzing.

It was a small insect, and the buzzing sound came from its wings.

Zhou Yuan did not know its specific name or species, but it seemed to be a new species that had mutated under nuclear radiation.

It looked like a Dragonfly. Its wings and the way it flapped its wings were exactly the same as a Dragonfly.

However, it had a sharp needle for a tail, like a bee’s.

When Zhou Yuan caught it, it struggled in his hand and attacked him with the spike on its tail.

However, it could not pierce through Zhou Yuan’s skin.

Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought as he looked at the unknown insect in his hand.

When he was hunting zombies, he had been thinking about how to conserve his energy.

Other than zombies, he could also save his energy when he needed to do anything in the future.

The best way was to train his subordinates.

For example, he could choose a few loyal people and let them evolve into powerful beings.

However, this idea had its risks.

Now, Zhang He and the others seemed very loyal.

However, after obtaining power, that might not be the case.

This was human nature!

He might even be stabbed in the back.

Zhou Yuan was confident that he could solve all kinds of accidents.

However, backstabbing was very disgusting.

Zhou Yuan didn’t want to deal with it when it really happened, nor did he want to waste his effort to prevent it from appearing.

Therefore, he decided that he was not going to consider raising the strength of his subordinates.

He would think about it when the time was right.

The other way was to find a small animal to evolve.

The only problem with this method was whether the evolved animals would still be obedient.

If they didn’t listen, then everything would have been in vain.

As he looked at the insect in his hand, Zhou Yuan asked in his heart,

“System, if I evolve this insect, will it listen to me?”

(The host can spend 100 gold coins to bind with it.)

Zhou Yuan nodded and covered the insect in his hand with a transparent cup.

Then he said,

“System, 100 gold coins. Try to upgrade it.”

“In addition, I will also pay you another 100 gold coins for direct binding.”

[Okay.)

Immediately after, the insect in the cup began to struggle violently, knocking itself against the wall of the cup repetitively.

A moment later, the little bug fell on the table and stopped moving.

Zhou Yuan thought it was dead and was about to move the cup away when he heard a ‘thud’.

The little insect actually pushed the cup away and flew out by itself.

Originally, this little insect’s flying speed and trajectory were similar to a Dragonfly’s, but now, it was more than twice as fast.

Finally, the little insect stopped in front of Zhou Yuan. It had a pair of compound eyes on its tiny head.

An invisible connection connected both sides.

Zhou Yuan could actually read a human-like expression on its face.

However, looking at the weak insect in front of him, Zhou Yuan asked in dissatisfaction,

“System, 100 gold coins only allowed it to evolve to this extent?”

“What’s the use of flying faster!”

As if it could feel Zhou Yuan’s disdain, the little insect slowly stopped on his collar and rubbed against him like a puppy.

[Because the target’s potential is too low, 100 gold coins worth of evolution can only reach this level.]

Zhou Yuan chuckled when he heard this.

He felt like the system was saying, “You can’t even bear to spend gold coins, and you want to evolve an insect into a fighter jet?”

After some thought, Zhou Yuan said slowly,

“System, I will spend 1000 gold coins to evolve this little insect!”

[Please confirm if you want to specify the evolution direction.]

“Not specified!”

(Okay.)

If it was not specified, it would be a random evolution for 1000 gold coins.

This was a treatment that Zhou Yuan had never received before.

Of course, Zhou Yuan was more unwilling to bear the consequences of random evolution.

After the evolution began, the little bug fell to the ground and twitched non-stop.

Ten seconds later, the little bug grew to the size of a basketball.

Another ten seconds or so, it had become the size of three basketballs.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened as he looked at the ‘small’ insect that was still growing in size.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

In this one month, the changes in the base could be said to be earth-shaking!

Houses rose from the ground. Although they were not as strong and clean as the previous buildings, they were built by everyone’s hands.

It gave everyone a strong sense of achievement and belonging.

This was already the third wave of crops.

The originally muddy lake water was now extremely clear.

The shallow part of the water could be seen with a glance.

In addition, in a month’s time.

More than 300 people had died in the base, and all of them were killed while hunting zombies.

However, the number of people on the base remained at more than 900.

New people came out of the teaching buildings and handed over three crystalline cores to enter the base.

After Zhou Yuan’s provocation, people began to hunt for zombies and enter the base.

However, there were still many people who were unwilling to work under Zhou Yuan and chose to stay in the teaching building.

Even if they could kill their way out of the zombie crowd, they would only find some supplies and food, and not enter the base.

me

Zhou Yuan did not care about this at all.

The days passed by.

The development of the base was getting better and better, but the zombies seemed to be endless.

The smell of blood continued to attract new zombies from unknown places.

And on this day.

Just as Zhou Yuan wanted to kill his way out and find the origin of the new wave of zombies, a group of strangers suddenly appeared below the teaching building.

There were a total of six people, all wrapped tightly in various colored cloth.

The most exaggerated one only revealed his eyes.

This immediately attracted the attention of the people in the teaching building and the base.

Zhang He informed Zhou Yuan immediately.
