At 2 a.m., in the bathroom, Shen Lanzhou was naked in front of a full-length mirror.

The girl's hair had been cut short for convenience, and after it was wet, her master combed it back with his hands to reveal her smooth forehead.

After multiple strengthenings, the body is no longer thin as it was at the beginning, but has become healthy and strong.

Shen Lanzhou looked at himself in the mirror. A layer of hard black scales grew under the thin skin on his arms, chest, waist, abdomen, thighs and other parts.

Under the light, these foreign objects seemed to devour the light, making the girl in the mirror appear inhumanly beautiful.

She took out a dagger and thrust it roughly into her arm. With a "ding" sound, the dagger bounced off and the tip deflated.

She changed her strategy, took out another dagger, used her strength to pick up the skin, inserted it along the gap between the scales, and then pried it upwards.

"hiss……"

The sharp pain made her gasp. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she picked out a black scale that was slightly larger than her fingernail. Blood gushed out of the wound, but it quickly stopped bleeding and formed a scab under the powerful healing power.

After drying his body casually, Shen Lanzhou put on his clothes again and walked out of the bathroom holding the scales.

I can't tell what material it is made of, but it is very hard and can actually block my full-strength attack.

Shen Lanzhou suddenly had an idea that if he could pry these scales off and make weapons out of them, it would be the perfect weapon for him.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the skills to turn her scales into weapons. If it were her already sharp claws and fangs, it would be fine, after polishing, they could become a good weapon, but unfortunately, she didn't have claws or teeth large enough to be sharpened into a knife.

Let's put this regret aside for now.

Shen Lanzhou suddenly remembered something——

I had a strange dream and then mutated, but what about others?

It was late at night, and except for the people who were on night watch, everyone else had fallen into a deep sleep. Shen Lanzhou didn't wake them up, and sneaked into the room as quietly as a ghost.

The first to be affected were the rooms of Shen Xiaoqian, Dong Meng, and Xu Zihan.

She saw her sister sleeping soundly with her limbs spread out in a completely ungraceful manner, and the poor quilt had been thrown aside long ago.

With a sigh, Shen Lanzhou bent down to pick up the quilt and covered his sister's belly. It was normal.

Next was Dong Meng. The girl was sleeping quietly in bed, nothing unusual.

Next was Xu Yan and Xu Zihan’s room, which was normal.

Lu Shiqi, nothing unusual.

…

No abnormalities.

After a round of inspection, she found that no one else had any strange changes except herself.

Only yourself.

I don’t know whether this change is good or bad.

Shen Lanzhou couldn't help but curse inwardly: Damn it, how can I be so worthy!

Her abnormal, inhuman appearance was not suitable for meeting people, and she didn't know how to explain it.

She changed her original plan and left now, immediately.

You don't need to bring much, just some weapons, crystal cores, food and some survival necessities.

After stuffing the things into his backpack, Shen Lanzhou left a note and a book containing some experiences and insights on survival in the apocalypse that he had been compiling overnight. Looking back at the mountaintop villa base under the silent night, Shen Lanzhou silently bid farewell to his relatives and friends and left overnight.

In fact, as everyone's old father, Shen Lanzhou was not at ease letting his relatives and friends survive alone in this chaotic world, even though the Maling Mountain Villa Base had persisted peacefully until the middle period in the previous life.

In this life, she has encountered too many monsters and phenomena that she had never encountered in her previous life. She cannot guarantee that everything in this life will develop as in her previous life.

But she must gain strength, she will find Liang Shimeng, this is a promise, a vow.

The distant Xinghai City has been submerged in a vast ocean, which has greatly hindered the subsequent collection of supplies.

But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although the city was flooded, it also received a gift from nature - seafood.

Dangerous sea monsters are generally larger in size, and because of the obstruction of urban buildings and the influence of water levels, they cannot enter the vicinity of the villa base. However, small seafood is not affected and can freely travel between the deep sea and urban waterways, providing a stable food source.

In fact, mutants are edible.

As long as one's own level is high enough to resist the invasion of the virus, one can use mutant creatures as food...

Including zombies.

As long as you get rid of the psychological pressure of being in the same species as others and don't mind the stinky smell of meat, it is acceptable to use it as emergency food.

It is said that real zombie jerky was popular for a period of time in some food-scarce areas.

At 4:30 in the morning, the red sky seemed to be even darker, and the damp and cold air stuck in the nose and skin, making people extremely irritable.

Chen Lanzhou stood silently on the high ground, watching the black tide on the distant skyline surge toward this once prosperous city, once home to millions, now utterly devastated. The tide seemed slow, yet it took only a minute to move from the distant city to its nearest approach. The tide swept the ships from the shore over the docks and into the city. Houses and buildings were as fragile as paper, easily ripped to shreds. Heavy cars drifted like duckweed on the water, bobbing on the black tide.

As for zombies?

These natural enemies of mankind are insignificant in the face of the mighty power of nature. They are even more pitiful than ants falling into a siphon flush toilet. They have long been swallowed up and submerged by the black tide filled with deep-sea sludge and all kinds of garbage.

In his previous life, he was both lucky and unlucky. Their Kaiyang District was located in the southernmost part of the city, far from the sea. Fortunately, they avoided the first and most violent waves, but the subsequent backflow of seawater still caused her to lose her good friend.

In this life, he made preparations early and successfully saved most of his friends and relatives.

No matter who was behind all this, she sincerely thanked the other party for giving her a chance to start over.

An evil dark red lightning flashed before his eyes, followed by a deafening and dull thunder.

The girl looked up at the sky, and a drop of blood rain fell on her forehead, just like the zombies in the first rain.

[+25exp]

The system gave this prompt.

Shen Lanzhou's eyes widened in surprise. What is this?!

I don’t know if it’s because of the Creator’s disgust or for some other reason, but humans are not strengthened by the blood rain. However, it’s not a big deal for humans to get caught in the rain. As long as they don’t drink it in big gulps, they won’t be infected by excessive amounts of the virus. At most, they will be labeled as “delicious” and “conspicuous” and be stalked, hunted, and eaten by crazy zombies.

Is it because of Shi Meng's heart? Or is it because of the scales that dream brought?

Shen Lanzhou sighed softly, he never thought that he would be so lucky to enjoy this gift from nature, and he didn't know whether this opportunity was good or bad.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The blood-red rain gradually submerged the girl. It seemed that the whole world was left with only the sound of the dripping rain.

The second great evolution has begun.
