"bite!"
After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Mu finally heard the familiar system voice.
In the darkness, another invisible and more powerful ripple swept across the globe, covering the entire world in an instant.
"Test Site No. 47, debugging period has ended, all data has been restored to normal difficulty, and it has been restarted."
The voice was still cold and contained no emotion.
Zhang Mu's body was frozen once again, but his mind was constantly working. All the survivors at this time should be able to think clearly, instead of being in deep fear like the first time.
As the voice fell, Zhang Mu deliberately adjusted his perspective and saw that the mutant monkeys in the distance began to shrink in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although they were motionless, Zhang Mu could clearly see that the mutant mountain monkey closest to him was slowly losing its spirituality in its eyes, and was replaced by the wildness that comes with a wild animal.
Zhang Mu's heart was filled with secret joy. Things were indeed continuing in the direction of later generations. After all, his wings as a little butterfly could not flap enough to change too many storms.
When the bodies of the mutant monkeys in front of Zhang Mu shrank by half, the constantly vibrating ripples finally stopped. Zhang Mu knew that the weakening after the debugging period was over.
At this moment, the mechanical voice that sounded in everyone's mind suddenly changed its tone, as if it was a different person, with a condescending and mocking tone, "Congratulations to all the surviving humans, you have survived the most difficult three days of the initial stage. From the moment your bodies regain freedom, the levels of all the monsters around you will be adjusted to the same level. As for how high it is, you will have to try it yourself."
"However, the end of the world has just begun. Our restart of the entire world will have both good and bad effects on you humans, because you and other creatures have now been placed at the same starting point by us."
"I think that you who survived, in addition to luck, should have had some basic cognitive abilities. Without your weapons, you are no better than a monster without intelligence. We have deprived you of your status as the world's hegemon, so you should recognize where you are in the food chain.
As compensation, you will soon notice some physical changes.
Chang, grasp it well, this is your only way out.
Haha, I've talked too much nonsense with you. Please don't let me down, humans."
The voice stopped abruptly, and everything returned to its previous state. Zhang Mu stretched his arms and legs, and his first reaction was to pull out the obsidian hidden in Yuan Rui's body, and examined it carefully.
Why won’t this wing move?
Why does the color of this carapace seem wrong to me?
Also, I can’t speak anymore.
Give me back my normal Xiao Hei! What a beast, it instantly turned it into a brainless and powerless bug.
Just when Zhang Mu wanted to cry but had no tears, a lazy voice sounded silently in his heart, "Who can't speak? I'm just too lazy to talk. I don't want to pay attention to you. Let go of my wings, quickly. What's the matter with the wings not moving and the carapace not shining? It's all your psychological effect."
The obsidian worm suddenly broke free from Zhang Mu's restraints, and stayed in mid-air, looking at him with contempt.
Now it was Zhang Mu's turn to be stunned. What was going on? After being weakened, the insect's intelligence actually grew to the point where it could mock him. It even broke through the absolute obedience of its blood contract. It didn't make sense.
But after seeing the confrontation between the man and the insect, Yuan Rui said weakly, "Uncle, I felt my body getting hot after hearing that voice just now, and that energy seemed to be about to burst."
Yuan Rui put her hand on Zhang Mu's shoulder, and instantly a surge of energy surged in. When Yuan Rui had poured all of this energy into her, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It should be that the suddenly expanded energy was released.
However, now it was Zhang Mu's turn to be completely confused. This energy was different from the coolness used to repair the injuries of the body before. When it was all poured in, Zhang Mu felt that his strength had actually increased a little. Although it was only a little bit, it was a real increase. You have to know how precious a unit of strength potion is, and it actually had the same effect as the energy Yuan Rui gave him this time.
After Yuanrui's reminder, Zhang Mu realized that he was the one who was confused and actually forgot about this matter.
Human beings are indeed used to a life of luxury. Once they lose the thermal weapons they rely on, they will be crushed by other creatures in the first place and become a vulnerable group that is almost unbearable.
But Zhang
Mu Houshi has analyzed that, judging from some of the actions of the people behind the scenes, they still favor humans. Even if they have brought humans to the same starting point as other creatures, they are actually secretly biased towards humans. They should want to select the good ones among humans.
Zhang Mu's guess was verified and deduced through many actual examples, and it was actually very close to the truth. For example, after this debugging period, the potential development of all human awakening abilities will further increase the speed of awakening, and the small number of ability evolvers who have awakened in advance during the debugging period will be even more biased, which will directly increase the power of evolution.
Moreover, his words clearly reminded humans that the difficulty had been adjusted. At this time, people with normal intelligence would generally try to adapt to their new way of life in order to survive, which was to keep fighting. As for those who were cowardly and still refused to accept reality, they would be slowly eliminated.
So, in fact, starting from the debugging period, all of this is like providing humans with a whetstone from easy to difficult, constantly tempering the most cutting-edge part.
As for the evolvers, people like Yuan Rui will feel it particularly obviously, but ordinary evolvers like Zhang Mu will not feel anything. After all, they don't have it to begin with, so no matter how much stimulation they get, it will be in vain. Therefore, Zhang Mu's sense of crisis will become more and more serious, and the little advantage he established in the early stage over the evolvers with awakened abilities will be instantly shortened by the reset of the person behind him.
However, correspondingly, at the same time, the Obsidian Worm, which was connected to Zhang Mu's bloodline, was also treated preferentially. Not only was it not weakened in terms of strength and intelligence, but it was even more obviously treated preferentially than Zhang Mu because it was also counted as an evolutionary ability.
Zhang Mu looked at the obsidian worm staring at him and didn't know what to say. As for the advantages, there were definitely some, such as the current problem, these mutant monkeys were nothing at all. As for the disadvantages, he felt that the obsidian worm might fully inherit his merchant nature.
After this, it will be difficult to use it as free labor.
The obsidian worm had a telepathic connection with him, so it naturally knew what Zhang Mu was thinking. It looked at Zhang Mu with disdain, then slowly flew to Yuan Rui and lay comfortably on her shoulder, completely ignoring the gloomy look on Zhang Mu's face.
It knew clearly that Zhang Mu now, hehe, still needed to ask it for something.
