On a large rock not far from the lake, Jiang Wu sat cross-legged, gazing at the lake in thought.
After learning about the strength of the nine newly added evolved beings at the base, Jiang Wu gained a deeper understanding of evolved beings.
Including Sheng Huaiqiang, Luo Mingming, and A Bao, there were 13 Level 1 Evolvers in the base at this time.
Apart from Nangong Wenyao, who belongs to a special type.
There are six others who are mediocre like myself, four who are relatively fast, and only two who are strong.
However, these speed-type or power-type attributes are only relative.
It's roughly equivalent to having ten attribute points, with about seven of them allocated to Strength or Agility.
There isn't a single person like Su Ziyu or Bai Feiming who has reached the pinnacle of pure strength or speed!
Moreover, due to their physical condition, these people have varying combat abilities.
For example, there was a woman who hadn't eaten much mutated beast meat before; she used to work in the logistics department.
Even if one becomes a Level 1 Evolver now, one is only slightly stronger than an elite ordinary person like Peng Gang who eats the meat of evolved beasts every day.
However, even if her combat strength is weak, that woman is still a level one evolved being.
With a comprehensive physical upgrade, coupled with snake scale armor or a crocodile skin trench coat, she should be able to take on M2 one-on-one.
This is the potential of human evolutionaries.
Zombies exist in numbers, while humans possess quality and equipment; this can be considered a glimmer of hope that the world has left for humanity.
but......
Jiang Wu glanced at the small lake in front of him, which was less than 30,000 square meters in area.
This small lake has nurtured so many evolved creatures, including savage beasts like the giant alligator snapping turtle.
What would it be like in the great rivers and even the ocean?
The key is that evolved organisms grow extremely fast.
Xiao Hei is a case in point.
Could it be that humanity's ultimate enemy is not zombies, but these evolved beasts?
Suddenly, Jiang Wu paused, as if he had discovered something incredible.
He leaped suddenly and caught something that flew from the lakeside.
Upon opening it, one finds a giant ladybug, larger than a child's fist.
More than four months after the apocalypse began, Jiang Wu discovered for the first time that insects had not gone extinct!
And it has evolved!
Ladybugs in the post-apocalyptic world are bigger than a child's fist!
Its flight speed is almost as fast as a pistol bullet!
This was even more shocking to Jiang Wu than seeing the giant alligator snapping turtle, which resembled a savage beast.
If a tiny ladybug is this powerful, how powerful must other insects be?
After all, the number of insects and their reproduction rate are far beyond what other organisms can match!
Jiang Wu stared intently at the enormous water hyacinths by the lake.
Sure enough, Jiang Wu saw ladybugs, flies, dragonflies...
They weren't many in number, but they survived very tenaciously!
Their main evolutionary direction seems to be speed; regardless of the type of insect, they are all very fast.
Perhaps this is why they survived around this lake, even with powerful enemies all around.
Jiang Wu jumped off the boulder and walked towards a tent in the temporary camp.
Inside the tent, Li Zecheng and his staff were talking.
Upon seeing Jiang Wu, everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
Jiang Wu held the ladybug between his thumb and forefinger and said calmly, "I used to think that insects were extinct after the apocalypse, but today I learned that insects not only did not become extinct, but they also evolved. This ladybug is almost as fast as a pistol bullet. I am very curious whether we will discover deadly insects that are much faster than bullets in the future!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing Jiang Wu's words.
Li Zecheng pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Chief, this morning, when the soldiers went to the lake, they also found these insects. However, most insects need to rely on plants to survive. At least for now, the insects can't develop even if they want to."
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "To be on the safe side, starting today, establish an insect laboratory under the General Staff. We'll focus on the insects here in the lake, and we can also simulate more powerful insects and research ways to deal with them! Whether it's flamethrowers or anything else, we need to get to work on it!"
"Furthermore, the General Staff should also establish a department to study possible tactics in response to other potential behemoths! The method used to deal with the giant alligator snapping turtle this time is a good reference plan. Li Zecheng, I allow you to expand the General Staff to 60 people!"
Li Zecheng was shocked; the leader had actually expanded the General Staff Department several times over!
He stood ramrod straight, saluted, and said, "Yes, sir!"
After Jiang Wu left, Li Zecheng solemnly said to his other trusted confidants in the staff, "You have also heard the leader's requirements. Starting today, post recruitment notices at the base to recruit people from relevant industries. In addition, organize people to make tools to capture and evolve insects by the lake!"
"yes!"
Jiang Wu stepped out of the tent, just about to go to the lakeside to investigate if there were any other discoveries.
But then they saw Su Ziyu and Ning Chuxia leading a large group of people in from the entrance of the mountain pass.
These two actually found survivors in the endless mountains.
Jiang Wu smiled slightly and walked towards Su Ziyu.
"Well done, you must have put in a lot of effort."
When Su Ziyu saw Jiang Wu, she smiled and said, "It's mainly thanks to Chu Xia; she searched for three whole hours."
Jiang Wu smiled and ruffled Su Ziyu's hair, then glanced at Ning Chuxia.
He could feel that behind her sunglasses, her pupil-less eyes were staring blankly at him.
Before meeting the Blood Woman, Jiang Wu thought Ning Chuxia's behavior was just plain stupid.
