306: Intelligent parasite
Underground.
Inside the dark, damp cave, the two sisters, Xu Xue and Xu Yu, huddled together, trembling all over.
They didn't know where this was.
But they could roughly guess that this was in the lair of the Evolution Earthworm!
Not being swallowed by the Evolution Earthworm King at the first moment wasn't necessarily luck; it might be greater despair.
Now, the two sisters were enveloped in despair.
"Xu Feng was eaten by these things."
Xu Yu's tone was sorrowful. She turned on her telephone, which had no signal, and by its light, she could see Evolution Earthworms crawling through the cave from time to time!
"We harmed him. If we hadn't returned to our hometown, how could he have died?"
Sister Xu Xue clenched her fists, her heart filled with endless guilt.
At the moment when her emotions reached their Peak, Xu Xue's breathing stopped, and she directly fainted!
"Sister!"
younger sister Xu Yu's tears overflowed.
She suddenly felt that Sister Xu Xue's whole body was burning hot, as if there was a piece of boiling water inside her!
It was also at this moment that the voice of A Man emerged: "Don't disturb her."
The voice of the third person caused Xu Yu to raise her telephone flashlight in panic.
Her eyes were blurry with tears, her vision unclear.
After clumsily wiping away her tears.
Seeing the owner of this voice, Xu Yu was stunned.
"Xu... Feng?!"
"Lower your voice, your Sister has fallen into evolution." Xu Feng looked at the unconscious Xu Xue, with a hint of surprise in his heart.
Just after seeing Xu Xue faint, he was about to step forward, but the System informed him that she had fallen into evolution.
Evolution.
After success, she would be an Evolutionist, as Nangong Shushuang had mentioned before!
Every Evolutionist possesses strength beyond ordinary people.
And once evolved, in this prevailing environment, their survival ability is undoubtedly higher!
"Bang~"
The woman, like a young swallow returning to its nest, directly crashed into Xu Feng's arms.
"You're not dead, that's great, you're not dead!"
Xu Yu's voice was choked with sobs, but more so with inexpressible joy from excitement.
Listening to Xu Yu's murmuring, which sounded like sleep talk, Xu Feng patted her shoulder comfortingly.
However, the woman in his arms stopped moving.
In a moment, a wave of high temperature surged from the woman's body.
"This is..."
Ye Tian: "She has also fallen into evolution."
"This can happen too?"
Xu Feng had originally felt a bit uneasy about having Little Earth bring the two women back in that manner.
But now it seemed that this was a lucky move, a brilliant play!
"Rustle rustle rustle~"
Inside the cave, Little Earth's enormous body slowly appeared beside Xu Feng.
"Have you cleared out everything in the mountains and forests?" Xu Feng turned his head and asked.
Little Earth responded with a low growl.
As the subordinates from the suburbs of M City arrived one after another, Little Earth also had thousands of Evolution Earthworms by his side.
According to Xu Feng's instructions.
The various evolved creatures on the mountain road leading to M City for that group of survivors had been cleared out by the Evolution Earthworm Army.
Xu Feng also wanted to see.
What would be the reaction of the person behind the scenes when these people safely reached M City.
Two hours passed.
Xu Xue's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly with her eyelashes, and she slowly opened them.
"Awake?" Inside the cave, the flashlight was on.
The woman looked at the man's face in the light, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes: "Xu Feng? Did I die just like you?"
Xu Feng smiled and explained the current situation.
A few minutes later.
Xu Xue threw herself into Xu Feng's arms.
"Do you feel any changes in yourself now?" Being able to wake up meant she had truly become an Evolutionist.
So Xu Xue now clearly possessed some kind of Evolutionist ability.
"Change?"
Xu Xue murmured to herself, then said somewhat uncertainly: "It seems, I can upgrade any item."
"Upgrade any item?" Xu Feng's eyes lit up.
"Yes." Xu Xue nodded, then looked at the tempered steel axe beside her: "Just like this."
Saying that, her palm brushed over the tempered steel axe.
A faint light covered it.
When the light dissipated, the appearance of the tempered steel axe hadn't changed.
Even the bloodstains on it were still there.
Only.
When Xu Feng's palm re-gripped the axe handle, his heart was filled with surprise.
The weight of this axe had doubled!
The volume remained the same, but the weight had doubled!
"As long as I decide on the direction of the upgrade, a certain item can be upgraded in that direction." A little information in Xu Xue's mind described her ability.
"So, you can upgrade a stick into the Golden Cudgel?"
Xu Xue choked: "Upgrading things consumes my energy. If I have enough energy, theoretically it's possible."
"This ability is not simple." Xu Feng thought to himself.
Even if she was a support-type Evolutionist, in a sense, she was more useful than most Evolutionists!
Just imagine.
If this ability were applied to firearms and exoskeleton armor.
Wouldn't it be possible to upgrade weapons that are centuries ahead of the present?
At that time, by following the upgraded weapons and mass-producing them, wouldn't the overall strength of Humans increase significantly?!
"This axe, can you still increase its weight?" Xu Feng looked at Xu Xue, weighing the giant axe.
Xu Xue: "It's already over 40 jin, isn't that enough?"
"Adding the weight to 100 jin should be about right." Xu Feng estimated.
A weight of one hundred jin sounds very heavy at first.
But think about Xu Feng's current physique.
After eating the Essence Cleansing and Marrow Tempering Pill, his physical fitness was no weaker than the five evolved lions from last night!
"Okay, I'll try." Xu Xue smiled.
She was very happy to be able to help Xu Feng.
"Rustle~"
A little sand and gravel fell, and younger sister Xu Yu also opened her eyes at this moment.
A few minutes later, after knowing Xu Yu's ability.
Both Xu Feng and Xu Xue's eyes lit up slightly, and they nodded secretly.
Xu Feng: "Since you're both awake, it's time to continue on."
A three-star character summon card, just thinking about it makes him unable to wait.
... ...
On the other side.
Li Xiu and those survivors also arrived at M City very smoothly.
Along the way, these survivors didn't see any Army waiting for them.
The communication device had previously said that they had stopped halfway due to danger, but in fact, M City had not sent out any team to rescue them at all!
It was just as Nangong Shushuang had guessed; the M City military had never thought of saving them!
It was chilling.
Military Region.
Commander's office.
The humidifier pushed the humidity in the room to over 90%.
On the three chairs, sat three White-Haired Old Men respectively.
In the uncomfortable environment, the three of them seemed to be enjoying it a little.
If there were citizens of M City here, they would surely recognize that these three were the current military and political leaders of M City!
"The mission... failed."
Among the three, the Old Man with some dark spots on his face slowly spoke.
"A Human... ruined things, but he's already dead." Another Old Man had loose skin, his tone somewhat stiff.
And even though it was stiff, a strong sense of anger could be heard within it!
"Just died like that, he got off cheap." The third Old Man said coldly.
"The woman being able to survive, and the existence of another person... played a big role." After the Old Man with dark spots finished speaking, Li Xiu's photo was projected onto the wall.
"Number One." Seeing Li Xiu on the wall, the Old Man with a sallow complexion slightly turned his head.
In the thick humidity, a Middle-aged Man with a wooden expression, like a marionette, came to the door.
"Kill this person. Your one-star Peak strength should be enough." The Old Man pointed at Li Xiu in the projector.
The wooden Middle-aged Man left without leaving any words, taking the order.
"Then... what about the Dr. from Kyoto?" The White-Haired Old Man with what looked like age spots or death spots on his face turned and asked.
"Since she didn't die, let her be." The Old Man with a sallow face took a deep breath of the humid air, revealing a look of intoxication: "No matter what, since she came to M City, nothing can happen to her here."
"Lest it attract Kyoto's attention to this side."
"Wait until she leaves our territory, then we can ambush her again. The elites of Humanity cannot live."
"After that, the two million people of M City should all accept our race's parasitism."
"What you said... is right." The Old Man with loose skin slowly nodded: "The General trend is set, Humanity should also withdraw from the World stage."
"From now on, the... Lord of this World can only be our race of intelligent parasitic... insects."
