Wild animals, due to their harsher living environment, toil day and night, constantly fleeing or hunting, fighting for survival.
However, among humans, only a small portion are responsible for finding food; the majority cower and wait to die, starving to the bone, and have no courage to stand up and fight.
The process of striving is almost equivalent to training or, in other words, self-cultivation.
The reason Yang Shen thought of this was because he thought of himself before he awakened his superpowers, as well as Gao Shou, Gao Xue, and others.
When they were being chased by infected people, they could have sprinted for thousands of meters while maintaining a speed of 100 meters per second, and all they would have done was gasp for breath.
This would have been almost impossible before the apocalypse, and even if it had been done, one would likely have been exhausted to death.
But now, almost any human who has been hunted by infected individuals for three years can do it.
Although 10 meters per second is not beyond the limit of ordinary people, it should be noted that this refers to "all" people, not just a few individuals.
Even for extreme athletes, achieving this in just three years of extreme training is not easy.
If we calculate it this way, it seems that humans have also evolved, just not obviously.
Scientists have long concluded that the evolutionary paths of humans and other organisms are different.
For example, animals from ancient times were generally much larger than animals before the apocalypse.
Animal evolution is mainly reflected in body shape.
Since the dawn of humanity, the physical form of humans has changed very little; human evolution has been more about brain evolution, an internal evolution.
"Perhaps we could test this if there's an opportunity, to see if humans can truly surpass human limits through scientific training..."
Human civilization will take a giant leap forward because of this disaster.
What seems like a misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise.
...
Underground parking lot.
The twenty survivors who were still alive silently finished their barbecue.
After confirming that Yang Shen had really gone far away, Wang Yanbin suddenly looked at Gao Shou and asked, "Brother Shou, what do we do now?"
Before Yang Shen came here, Gao Shou was considered the boss, and everyone listened to him.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Gao Shou with slight tension, because Gao Shou's decision might cause more deaths and injuries here, and no one wanted to become a victim.
Gao Shou remained silent for a moment. It would be impossible for him to have no dissatisfaction with Yang Shen's control of the camp.
But faced with absolute power, he didn't even have the right to complain.
Gao Shou silently stared at the two guns on the ground not far away, which Gao Xue and Chen Tao had dropped. He didn't know why Yang Shen hadn't picked them up.
He didn't believe Yang Shen had forgotten; he was more convinced that Yang Shen was deliberately setting a trap for him.
If he really falls into this trap, Yang Shen might have an excuse to get rid of him, his former leader, and thus truly and completely take control of the camp.
After a long while, Gao Shou suddenly snorted coldly, "The deaths of Gao Xue and the other two were entirely their own fault."
This statement was a statement of agreement, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Gao Shou had gone against Yang Shen, they would have been in a real predicament, because no one wanted to die.
"Yang Shen is an esper, and a combat esper at that. He might be even more powerful than that woman in the south of the city. With him leading us, we'll definitely be able to survive better."
Gao Shou spoke again, looking at Gao Xue's...girlfriend: "Yan Min, you know what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, Brother Gao Shou. Gao Xue and I aren't truly in love. I definitely won't do anything foolish," Yan Min hurriedly assured him.
"That's good. The rest of you are the same. Anyone who wants to die, don't drag us all down with them. Don't do anything in front of him that will upset him."
Gao Shou gave Wang Yanbin and the other four men on night watch a warning look. He simply didn't believe that these men hadn't been involved in what had happened before.
After saying that, he glanced at his worn-out digital watch: "It's almost dawn, hurry up and clean up, try not to upset that guy."
...
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
In another direction of the underground parking lot, under the pitch-black night, infected individuals with blue glowing chests howled and pounced on Yang Shen.
But with each gunshot and a flash of red light, the heads of the infected exploded.
Yang Shen not only became stronger, but his physical and mental reaction speeds also improved dramatically.
Therefore, while those infected individuals appeared to be moving extremely fast, they were insignificant in his eyes; he could easily overwhelm them.
As each infected person was killed, Yang Shen never realized that the ferocious and terrifying infected were so fragile.
"roar!!"
Suddenly, a deafening and ferocious howl rang out, followed by a two-meter-tall, strong, and tall infected man wearing only underwear pushing aside all the other infected and charging forward.
"Bang!"
Yang Shen fired a shot directly at the target.
Unexpectedly, the steel needle, amplified by its terrifying speed, struck the infected person's forehead, only knocking him back a few steps. The infected person's brow bone caved in, but he was not killed.
"An evolved infected?" Yang Shen frowned.
"roar!!"
The evolved infected roared and pounced on Yang Shen again. It was extremely strong, and wherever it passed, other infected were sent flying, and vehicles blocking the road were deformed.
Yang Shen quickly aimed at the heart of the evolved infected and fired a shot, because the heart of the infected is their power source.
With a "bang," the red light dented the chest of the evolved infected, knocking it back several steps, yet it still didn't die.
