Chapter 10: Evolver
This sentence was not only said to Wan Xing, but also to everyone in this carriage.
Qi Xiao Ba sitting next to him showed no unusual expression on his face.
Although he felt that Su Huan was not as simple as he appeared.
But, one must know gratitude and repay kindness.
Wan Xing was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and said, “Okay.”
Only then did Su Huan smile with satisfaction.
He just liked the obedient ones.
Currently, the team construction progress had far exceeded his expectations.
An unintentional flap of wings had changed many things.
……
The steel dragon groaned faintly on the railway track, the last wisp of twilight crushed under the wheel.
The armored train quietly departed from Wen’an City, heading towards a steel factory thirty kilometers away.
The light wrapped in package was like a melted sugar cube, diffusing a warm yellow glow on the blood-rust stained car window.
Su Huan’s pen tip rustled across the notebook, checking off behind the two lines “Railway Track Repair” and “Material Collection”.
These were some key conditions for the armored train that he had listed earlier.
Closing the notebook, gazing at the thickening darkness outside the window, Su Huan pulled the curtain shut.
In the darkness of night, anything emitting light was either prey or bait.
Yu Yue was using a steel fork to flip the luncheon meat in the frying pan, oil splatter bursting with sizzling sounds.
Qi Xiao Ba asked softly beside her, “Xing Zi sis, is your hand better?”
Wan Xing saw the worry in Xiao Ba’s eyes and then remembered that her arm had been bitten by a zombie before.
Rolling up her sleeve, a slender scar coiled on her fair forearm, the shallow tooth marks almost hidden in the scab.
“Healed so fast, it seems evolution promotes cell growth.” Yu Jing said in surprise.
“Evolution comprehensively enhances the evolver’s physical fitness, but physique strengthening is the defender’s domain, the collector’s trait is not here.”
As Su Huan spoke, he unceremoniously picked up a piece of sizzling oily luncheon meat from the pan and put it in his mouth.
Feeling the meat aroma mixed with just the right saltiness rolling in his mouth, Su Huan felt his energy recovery speed had increased by a third.
“Collector……you just mentioned visual analysis too?”
Yu Jing pondered.
“More accurately, it’s lv1 visual analysis. Wan Xing, tell them your feelings yourself.” Su Huan said.
The reflection in Wan Xing’s eyes disappeared again, presenting a black-and-white lightless state that looked somewhat dazed, she pondered for a moment and said.
“When energy surges into my eyes, the world turns into a dark gray, then some light spots appear, but currently most light spots I can’t touch.”
“That’s because you haven’t learned ‘Advanced Decomposition’ yet. Once you learn that skill, you can decompose most common objects.”
“It’s a skill?”
“You can understand it that way. Evolvers can train their own skills through special methods, then form professions through different skill combinations.”
Su Huan seemed to suddenly think of something and tapped his forehead with two fingers.
“Yu Jing, go tell Liang Kuan to find a place to stop the train, prepare to rest overnight, and by the way, drag that blood hound corpse over.”
“Okay.”
Ten minutes later, the train entered some unknown small tunnel.
Accompanied by a slight tremor, the train stopped.
Liang Kuan also emerged from the front of the train.
“Just bring it to carriage No. 2.”
Liang Kuan acknowledged, and soon carried the bloody blood hound over.
Su Huan had already directed several people to lay a plastic sheet on the carpet in the sightseeing carriage.
“Bang!”
Liang Kuan threw down the blood hound, and the carriage trembled lightly.
Yu Jing roughly estimated and secretly clicked her tongue. This blood hound didn’t look big, but its weight was comparable to a lean domestic pig.
Wan Xing beside her suddenly let out a light eh at the corpse on the ground, “This light spot I seem to be able to touch.”
“Then give it a try.”
Su Huan pondered inwardly.
With a decomposer in the team, the speed in evolution would definitely rise a lot.
Some corresponding plans could also be accelerated or advanced simultaneously.
Twenty minutes later.
Everyone curiously looked at the fingernail-sized transparent crystal in Wan Xing’s hand.
“This is the general energy crystal. Using it to cultivate is faster than contacting zombies, and safer. The zombies outside that haven’t evolved, that is, in corpse embryo state, can probably extract one half this size.” Su Huan introduced.
“Collector……so that’s what it means, able to collect general energy from other organisms.” Yu Jing realized.
Su Huan stretched lazily, “Evolvers have five major types, and now there are already three here.”
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qi Xiao Ba simply said, “I can manipulate metal, but I don’t know what type it is.”
“‘Manipulator'” Su Huan said calmly.
“The five types are energizer, manipulator, collector, manufacturer, defender.”
Su Huan ignored the few people’s complex looks and continued.
“The energizer’s trait is to generate energy, then convert it into various energies to supply machinery and electronics.”
“The collector’s trait can collect general energy from zombies or plants and mutated beasts into crystals that are easy to carry and absorb, and can also collect some unique materials in the apocalypse.”
“Manipulator can manipulate a certain element, like metal manipulator, can control metal.”
“Manufacturer can use body general energy erosion on substances to change their physical properties and make fine adjustments.”
“Defender’s ‘combat factor’ can rapidly advance abilities through battle.”
“Each type of evolver’s trait is unique, even after multiple subsequent evolutions.”
Afraid they wouldn’t understand, Su Huan only generally mentioned the categories of evolvers.
In fact, information about evolvers was far more than this. Profession potions researched by different forces, training methods, evolution paths were intricate and complex.
Just the evolution paths Su Huan had heard of numbered dozens.
Any single piece of information could create a top-tier powerhouse, but those were Su Huan’s valuable assets, naturally he couldn’t just say them out casually.
‘Find time to note them down and calculate the time, see if I can intercept two opportunities.’
A thoughtful look appeared in Su Huan’s eyes.
“What are we going to do next?”
Qi Xiao Ba suddenly asked.
“Do you want to ask about long-term goal or immediate goal?”
“Both.”
“Long-term goal is to arm the mobile fortress under our feet well, escape the high-temperature zone, head north. You saw during the day too, those beasts aren’t something we can take down bare-handed, even evolvers need development time……As for short-term goal, eat, sleep, what about you?”
Su Huan asked back.
A trace of confusion fitting his age finally appeared on the youth’s calm face, “Dean died, the welfare institute is gone, I don’t know.”
“Then do you believe me?”
Su Huan restrained his smile and asked seriously.
Qi Xiao Ba looked at Su Huan’s cold eyes, his instinct told him this was not a good person.
But Dean had said.
One must know gratitude and repay kindness, and also keep one’s word.
“I believe you.”
