199: Lin Ze's confusion
Over the past six months, Lin Ze's gains had been immense.
He had accumulated over several hundred million source points alone.
Currently, Lin Ze's attribute panel was as follows:
source points: 32.58 million
【Body Reinforcement VII】: 【Upgrade requires 500 million source points】
【Stamina Reinforcement VII】: 【Upgrade requires 500 million source points】
【Agile Reflexes VII】: 【Upgrade requires 500 million source points】
【Arm Strength Reinforcement VII】: 【Upgrade requires 500 million source points】
【Wrist Strength Reinforcement VII】: 【Upgrade requires 500 million source points】
【Body Coordination and Flexibility Reinforcement VII】: 【Upgrade requires 800 million source points】
【Overlord Blade】 (Cannot be upgraded)
【Body Control】 (Cannot be upgraded)
Additionally, he had gained new abilities:
【Super Speed Regeneration VII】: 【Upgrade requires 500 million source points】
【Biological Energy VII】: 【Upgrade requires 1 billion source points】
Over the past six months, Lin Ze had grown tremendously.
Although he had become homeless, with the system as his backing, he didn't need to buy from the mall; all the supplies they collected along the way were categorized and stored in the system space, like a small mountain.
They had more than enough to use, and they didn't have to worry about expiration dates.
Although Lin Zhi's strength was far less than his, especially after Lin Ze gained the 【Biological Energy】 ability, she was still perfectly capable of holding her own.
【Biological Energy】 could also enhance Lin Ze's physical qualities and strength, and it came with super-strong recovery capabilities; furthermore, he could store energy within his body, and if concentrated, he could emit Biological Energy light waves, which could be seen as Godzilla's atomic breath... Of course, the two couldn't be compared.
Alternatively, he could concentrate it and condense it on his body surface (equivalent to internal energy or spiritual energy) or attach it to handheld weapons to increase their lethality.
Lin Ze's biggest limitation was probably that he couldn't fly... very similar to a certain big red guy.
"I wonder if they can win," Lin Zhi said, not knowing if she had mutated or awakened some talent.
Lin Zhi's eyes had turned black with white pupils.
That is, the opposite of normal people, who have white sclera and black pupils; she had black sclera and white pupils.
This happened when Lin Zhi consumed her 100th evolution crystal.
Lin Ze asked her if she felt any discomfort or anything unusual, and Lin Zhi said no, but her vision and dynamic vision had undergone tremendous changes, and she could also "focus" and "zoom in and out."
Seeing that there were only benefits and no drawbacks, Lin Ze didn't pay much attention to it.
Lin Zhi was a little unaccustomed to it at first, feeling like a ghost, but over time, she adapted.
As of today, Lin Zhi had already consumed 167 evolution crystals.
She was not far from 200.
What was being referred to here were the evolution crystals that produced effects.
Lin Zhi now consumed evolution crystals produced by ordinary zombies, which no longer had any effect.
It was only after they killed more powerful monsters and discovered green evolution crystals that they began to see effects.
At this point, Lin Ze and Lin Zhi realized that evolution crystals also had higher grades.
Currently, they had discovered white, green, and blue, and they didn't know if there were higher ones.
White ones stopped having an effect after one hundred, so it was necessary to consume green ones and above.
They hadn't yet reached the limit of green ones, but Lin Ze thought it would likely be around 200.
Over the past six months, humanity had adapted to this apocalyptic world, like a game created by "gods."
Those who were afraid of death had already died.
What remained were the "new humans" who had survived.
Many survivor bases had been established.
Of course, their scale wouldn't be very large.
After all, this world was not a simple apocalyptic world; it was impossible for it to stabilize completely.
Because of the mere existence of the bizarre, if a very large survivor base with thousands or tens of thousands of people gathered together was created...
That would definitely not be survivable, especially with powerful large monsters; so much "flesh and blood" gathered would simply be a paradise for them.
Therefore, current survivors were generally in groups of less than one hundred, but they would have communication and trade with each other.
Because supplies were refreshed, people didn't need to cultivate anything; at most, they would collect some seeds and plant a little, but not much.
In the current apocalyptic world, newborns had already been born.
It could be said that things were "getting on track."
New humans had begun to adapt to this world; leaving aside other things, humanity's adaptability was still extremely strong.
As long as they could keep living and survive, they would definitely find ways to live better.
Lin Ze and Lin Zhi had always traveled together, without a fixed residence, essentially wanderers.
Wandering all over the world, coupled with no worries about food, drink, shelter, or clothing, their lives were very comfortable.
At the same time, they had also earned the reputation of the "Wandering Duo."
Rumor had it: a man and a woman, the man handsome and the woman beautiful, both extremely powerful, they had no fixed abode and acted as they pleased.
Some suspected they were a very loving couple.
Others suspected they were not true "humans."
The "Wandering Duo" had traveled together since the beginning of the apocalypse, relying on each other, reaching this point, and their strength was also extremely formidable.
Many survivor bases had tried to recruit Lin Ze, but he had refused them all.
In addition, there were many inconspicuous people, or those with malicious intentions, or those who thought they were "capable."
Lin Ze adhered to the principle of "I don't offend if others don't offend me," but for those who provoked him, regardless of their status, Lin Ze usually dealt with them by "eliminating future troubles" and "rooting them out."
Thus, his formidable reputation had also been established.
"Whether they can win or not is none of our business, anyway, we're just passing by, but this monster should at least have a green crystal inside it," Lin Ze said to Lin Zhi, stroking his chin and looking at the monster below. "No, it's not entirely none of our business. Let's see if they can win. If they can't, then it's not our fault for stealing the monster. Then it becomes our business!"
"Hmm~ How come I didn't know you had such a bottom line?" Lin Zhi looked at Lin Ze strangely.
"People change," Lin Ze said speechlessly, hearing Lin Zhi's words. "Alright, I'm just bored and want to rest a bit... Our strength is growing stronger and stronger, and although we've never stopped getting stronger, you know... there's no pursuit... no goal... And those forbidden lands, dead zones... I don't have much desire to seek them out and explore them... After all, they're fixed in place, and if we don't disturb them, they won't change..."
Lin Zhi listened to Lin Ze's words and nodded knowingly.
Over the past six months, she had come to understand Lin Ze. She herself was fine, it didn't matter, she just followed Lin Ze.
With no worries about food or drink, she did whatever he asked, and if there was nothing to do, she would exercise or read books... There were also books among the supplies, all sorts of them, even "Post-Natal Care for Sows," which she also read.
Her life was quite comfortable.
But Lin Ze was not quite like her. Lin Ze didn't like these things; at most, he would exercise... or Lin Zhi would see Lin Ze sitting on a rooftop or some comfortable place, spacing out and daydreaming.
Over time, she understood that Lin Ze was "lost."
Especially as Lin Ze grew stronger, she felt it more directly and clearly from him.
