Gu Lingchuan rubbed his forehead; the throbbing pain in his head made it difficult for him to think clearly.
How many guns do you have here?
"Three swords. If we can get back the two swords those two took away, we'll have five," Lin Yu said after thinking for a moment.
Do you have any extra bullets?
Lin Yu shook his head.
"Then that won't be necessary. Those two guns are out of ammunition, but we can find them later as spares. We might be able to find matching bullets in the future."
"Of the five monsters that left, only one was a strength-type monster. The remaining four speed-type monsters could be easily killed in my territory if I had a gun." Others' reaction speed and accuracy might not be able to keep up with the monsters.
But within one's own mental realm, it's impossible for one to fall behind, unless those monsters are faster than one's thoughts.
"Of course, this is assuming those monsters haven't gone too far."
"I'll take my gun and go out to see if those monsters have left."
After resting for a while and absorbing the two zombie crystals, Gu Lingchuan left the room and searched the survivor base. He found that two monsters were indeed hiding in the building.
Gu Lingchuan made a commotion, and the two monsters under his mental domain raised their heads at the same time. One of them slowly peeked out of the window, and the gun under his mental domain fired several explosions, instantly killing the monster.
The other one was startled and ran away from the other side, and Gu Lingchuan couldn't do anything about it from across the house.
I briefly explained it when I got back to my room.
“Let’s leave quickly, it feels dangerous to stay here,” one of the four said.
Gu Lingchuan shook his head. If the parasites were resolved, it would be fine; he could just leave. But if the parasites weren't resolved, and Lin Yu left, without his ability to soothe them, the blue fish monster would probably cause the parasites to riot.
Who knows how much longer they'll live?
"Let's rest and have something to eat first," Lin Yu said, handing out some packaged food to everyone.
"Why aren't you leaving? If you don't leave, I'm leaving," the somewhat fierce-looking middle-aged man continued.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he was somewhat annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he didn't dare to leave alone. Where else could he go if he left this place? The city was full of zombies and there was no place that was completely safe.
Perhaps because Lin Yu had only told them about the parasites and hadn't mentioned that they were controlled by the Blue Fish Monster, the four of them didn't care much about the parasites, and had even forgotten about them after the recent fright.
After eating some food, Gu Lingchuan and Lin Yu went to a corner.
"I just looked at the parasites on those people. Because you don't know they were being parasitized and there was no suppression, the parasites have grown very large, about the size of a thumb. The nerve connections are intricate. In their current condition, I guess they can't be saved."
Lin Yu sighed, "If only I had paid more attention, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Mr. Gu, what are your thoughts?"
"Given the current situation, the best option is to abandon them, wait for your brother to wake up so he can remove the parasites, then get rid of the blue carp monster and those mutated monsters, and continue operating this survivor base."
"We can find someone later."
Lin Yu probably thought of all of these things, but he couldn't bring himself to say them. He needed someone else to say them, so he did.
In the past, Gu Lingchuan might have continued to try to protect them, but after what happened with Gu Lingxiao, he no longer cared about many things.
Lin Yu nodded slightly. In this world, it's already very difficult to protect the people you care about. It's true that if you have no choice, you should give them up.
During the day, Gu Lingchuan gradually fell asleep in his wheelchair.
He wasn't worried about his own safety. Lin An's parasite problem hadn't been resolved yet, so Lin Yu would most likely not put him in any danger.
It was already evening when Gu Lingchuan woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Lin Yu and Lin An.
Lin An appeared to be in excellent condition at this moment, and was excitedly throwing punches rapidly, the wind from his punches creating a whistling sound.
Upon seeing Gu Lingchuan wake up, Lin Yu and Lin An approached him.
"President Gu is awake. I have some questions for you."
Gu Lingchuan nodded, and the three of them avoided the remaining four.
The four people didn't say anything, their eyes only filled with envy, because they also knew about the existence of evolved beings. Having such a superpower would provide some guarantee for survival in this apocalypse.
They are at least much better off than ordinary people like them.
The three of them didn't close the door, and Gu Lingchuan didn't ask Lin An what kind of superpower he had awakened.
After the three nodded in acknowledgment, Gu Lingchuan activated his mental domain, located the parasite, and easily removed it without any mishaps.
Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, then frowned and asked, "Xiao An doesn't seem to have any special abilities besides his physique exceeding human limits. Why is that?"
Gu Lingchuan thought for a moment, "Let's summarize roughly first, and then go through it from the beginning."
"The directions of evolution are definitely different. The person during the day was probably a physical evolver; his strength was probably two or three times stronger than ours now. As for us, who have been evolving for a long time and have fallen into a deep sleep, we are most likely mental evolvers."
"Lin An's situation is exactly the same as mine before. His evolution should also be in the mental direction. You can try to explore that area more."
"The above can be used as a temporary reference; we can add more as we encounter more cases in the future."
Lin Yu and Lin An were not disappointed even though they didn't get an answer. They were already very satisfied with their current situation. Not only had they solved the parasite problem, but they had also become evolved beings.
"Let's rest a bit more, and we'll deal with that blue carp monster first thing tomorrow morning," Lin Yu said.
Gu Lingchuan nodded, admitting that he hadn't fully recovered to his peak condition yet.
Lin Yu and Lin An left the room, leaving Gu Lingchuan alone.
Boom!
The sky, which had been overcast all day, was suddenly filled with thunder and torrential rain.
It was one o'clock in the morning. The outside world was unusually dark, with no light. Only when lightning flashed could one roughly see the outside world.
The heavy rain continued.
Click~
The sound of the door opening was drowned out by the thunder and rain.
Four figures stood in the darkness in the living room, their eyes vacant, weapons in their hands, and they approached the door of Lin Yu and his brother with an odd gait.
He stiffly tried to turn the doorknob, but couldn't; the door was locked from the inside.
The four of them stopped moving and stood quietly at the door.
Bang~
With a loud crash and the sound of shattering glass, the windows of the rooms of Lin Yu and his brother, as well as Gu Lingchuan, were smashed from the outside, and the two monsters rushed in.
Gu Lingchuan was instantly awakened, his mental domain instantly enveloping him, and a force struck, causing the bed beneath him to be smashed with a loud thud.
Having weathered the attack, Gu Lingchuan instantly brought the attacking monster under control through his mental domain. He recognized the monster as the mutated speed-type monster from earlier that day.
He crushed them instantly, not even having time to think about how these guys came back. Extending his mental domain, he saw a muscular, powerful monster crouching downstairs and then leaping up.
