477: The showdown begins, the abnormal evolution

The person who arrived was a clean-dressed Man who didn't stand out at first glance.

The only thing that drew everyone's attention was the bamboo flute in his hand, which seemed out of place in the apocalyptic atmosphere.

And behind him was Battalion Commander Qi Jiang, who had followed closely.

"You are?" General Yang looked at Nie Fangping with some confusion.

Qi Jiang, who was behind him, immediately stepped forward and explained, "General, he is an Evolver we met when we were clearing Qing City."

"A Second-Order Zombie died at his hands. We happen to be short of such experts, so I brought him!"

These two brief sentences immediately elevated Nie Fangping's status in everyone's eyes to the same level as Zhao Ling, or even higher.

"He killed a Second-Order Zombie." The Evolvers behind Zhao Ling looked at Nie Fangping with a hint of surprise.

Experts of this caliber were rare even in Jiangnan Base.

And in their Yishan Base, only Zhao Ling could compare.

From this perspective, if he wanted to compete for a Savior candidate spot, he would be a major opponent for Zhao Ling.

"You want to challenge Zhao Ling?"

General Yang looked at Nie Fangping with a slightly serious expression.

Meanwhile, Nie Fangping looked at the Man in the crowd opposite him, who had a watermelon knife hanging from his waist.

He hadn't expected to meet the other party again, and he certainly hadn't expected that the first Human opponent on his path to becoming a Savior would be him.

His mood was calm. Nie Fangping turned to General Yang and said, "Yes."

Upon receiving the affirmative reply, General Yang nodded, "Then it's set for two days from now. In two days, the Savior candidate will be chosen from among you!"

With that, the White-Haired Old Man put his hands behind his back.

As he left, he glanced at Nie Fangping as he passed by.

Then, he called out to Qi Jiang.

He obviously wanted to learn more about this Evolver who could kill a Second-Order Zombie through Qi Jiang.

And when General Yang left, the eyes of the Evolvers behind Zhao Ling were all subtly hostile towards Nie Fangping.

However, due to the fact that the other party could handle a Second-Order Mutant Zombie, no one foolishly stepped forward to provoke him.

"See you in two days." Nie Fangping looked at Zhao Ling, left this sentence, and then departed.

As he left, the surroundings immediately became lively.

"Captain, this person doesn't seem simple!"

"We don't know his background, but he can actually kill a Second-Order Evolver Zombie!"

"Yes, Captain, you must be careful then. Anyone who can deal with a Second-Order Mutant Zombie has some skill!"

The Evolvers behind him all gave Nie Fangping extremely high praise and were vigilant.

Zhao Ling also exhaled a breath of stale air.

He looked at the sky, "There are still two days."

In two days, he would rely on the military strength of Yishan Base to harvest as many Zombies as possible to accumulate Evolution Points, in order to prepare for the battle in two days!

...

On the other side.

Nie Fangping was staying in the single room prepared for Evolvers like him at Yishan Base.

Looking at the scenery outside, his thoughts began to detach from this body.

In a deep mountain cave, Nie Fangping opened his eyes.

Before him was a rising amount of Energy Points.

To avoid the Zombie Civilization discovering his whereabouts, he had basically not conducted any clearing of Zombies.

Of course, ever since the Second-Order Swarm Larva could devour earth and stone, that bit of biological energy held very limited attraction for him.

The energy currently increasing was all the energy accumulated by the Second-Order Swarm Larva from gnawing on the land and mountains beneath its feet.

After all, a certain amount of Energy Points was needed to push the plan forward.

Nie Fangping could only temporarily focus the devouring target on the land beneath his feet.

However, everything was done very secretly.

After all, how could anyone detect a spacious cave-like area appearing inside a gigantic mountain?

As long as he controlled it, no one would know what he was doing.

After sending the Swarm into space and to other planets, Nie Fangping would no longer have to do such a short-sighted thing.

After several manipulations, the spaces gnawed out by the Swarm Larva within the mountains, as the Nest Building Bugs moved in, turned into nests.

At the same time, a new batch of Blade Worms also began to gestate.

For the competition for the spot in two days, he naturally wouldn't hold back.

...

"Pfft!"

The rolled-edge watermelon knife cut off a Zombie's head. Zhao Ling rubbed his sore arm and looked at the large number of Zombies the Army had caught for him to kill, then threw himself back into the harvest.

At the same time, he could see the Evolution Points on his simple panel increasing much faster than before!

...

Two days passed in a flash.

On this day.

The sky cleared.

The aftereffects of the nuclear explosion in the direction of Rong City showed signs of dissipating.

Yishan Base.

In the area with the largest flow of people, a fighting platform had been erected.

This was prepared for Nie Fangping and Zhao Ling.

Originally.

No one had any intention of building this.

Even General Yang felt that designating a mountain peak and letting these two show their skills to see who was stronger would suffice.

But Yang Qianqian insisted on building a platform.

She claimed it was to let everyone see Zhao Ling's style!

General Yang sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Since even the leader of the base couldn't say anything, others didn't dare to make trouble.

And so, this platform, specially prepared by Yang Qianqian for Zhao Ling, appeared.

The warm sun shone down from the long sky.

On the platform, Nie Fangping and Zhao Ling stood on opposite sides.

The two had already ascended the stage.

And within a radius of more than ten meters around them was a large crowd watching the excitement.

In this apocalypse, there was no internet, no telephone, and no entertainment.

Naturally, the battle between the two Evolvers this time attracted the attention of everyone in Yishan Base!

"During the battle, you must not kill."

"If you can't hold on, you must immediately surrender. You are Evolvers, and also valuable talents for us Humans. Everything should prioritize your own safety, understand?!"

On the high platform, General Yang stood up from among the high-ranking officials.

He instructed the two.

"Understood." Nie Fangping nodded towards the other party.

As for Zhao Ling, his gaze was always fixed on Nie Fangping.

He had already entered a combat state.

"Begin!"

After General Yang's words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures on the platform.

This was the competition for the Savior candidate!

Savior candidate, although this was far from saying they were the true Saviors.

Looking at the entire World, there were at least a hundred spots.

However.

These hundred spots were definitely the hundred strongest people in the World so far!

"Boom!"

On the platform, the two figures moved.

Zhao Ling stepped forward, the watermelon knife in his hand carrying a dazzling, physical-like sharp edge!

"Blade!"

In the crowd, the hearts of the other Evolvers skipped a beat.

This Blade was even more terrifying than when it was used against Barnett!

"His swordsmanship has reached a very high level. It seems he is an Abnormal Evolver."

Some high-ranking officials who had access to information about Evolvers nodded slightly when they saw this scene.

Evolvers can actually be divided into two main categories.

One is ordinary Evolution, and the other is Abnormal Evolution.

ordinary Evolvers are nothing special.

Their physical data, which surpasses that of ordinary people, is a result of the accumulation of power pushed out by Zombie crystals.

These Evolvers are generally strong, have high defense, and are fast.

Their attack methods are limited to fists and feet.

Their upper limit is not high.

At the same time, their strength is mostly mediocre, not bad, but definitely not top-tier experts.

Only Abnormal Evolvers are the true Evolvers who can contend for the title of expert!

Abnormal Evolution refers to the genetic mutations brought about by Zombie crystals.

Among these, it will bring some abnormal physical changes to the Evolver.

For example, an Abnormal Evolver can have a sudden change in body size, can control Fire, or even generate telekinesis, and so on...

And Zhao Ling's ability to use a blade light at this time naturally counts as a type of Abnormal Evolver!

The renowned Evolvers in the World today.

Are basically Abnormal Evolvers.

In everyone's default understanding, the four great Saviors in the World will eventually be four Abnormal Evolvers.
