Infinite Evolution

The city of Chu is built on the mountain and is located on the Xiongfeng Peak. Because the mountain is steep in the south and gentle in the north, the south of the city became a passage for the outside world when it was cast, while the east, west and north were completely sealed off and heavily guarded, making it difficult for birds to fly. .

Chu City is divided into four districts, of which the North District is the aristocratic district, which covers the largest area, the best terrain, and the most fortified defense, making it the safest place in the entire city.

And Chu Xun's "home" is located in the north of the city, but because both of his parents died, and he has not been able to awaken his powers for a long time, so his status in the family has been falling again and again. At this moment, his so-called home is actually nothing more than a single room of less than ten square meters. Although it can't be called a bare house, there are only a few furniture and electrical appliances, which can be said to be very simple.

Back home, Chu Xun immediately locked the door, then carefully opened the closet, and took out a palm-sized metal box from it.

Seeing the blue metal box, a hint of excitement appeared on Chu Xun's face, and then he took a deep breath and opened the box. Suddenly, a soft blue light emanated from the box.

That's right, the box contained the ten standard crystal nuclei that Chu Xun had received this month. These crystal nuclei are only the size of ordinary coins, and the whole body is as transparent as blue crystals, and emits a soft light, which makes people unable to take their eyes off at a glance, and feels very comfortable.

These crystal nuclei are a collection of virus energy and life energy, but after being tempered by the organism itself and high-tech post-processing, these standard crystal nuclei are much milder than before, and are more easily absorbed by the human body . According to the memory in Chu Xun's mind, this standard crystal nucleus can not only strengthen the body of ordinary people, but also have the effect of strengthening the abilities of supernatural beings, which is extremely valuable.

It is difficult for an ordinary family to earn a crystal nucleus even if they work hard for a year. As a direct descendant of the Chu family, Chu Xun can receive a minimum of ten standard crystal nucleus per month as a family benefit before the age of sixteen. From this we can see how big the gap between nobles and commoners in Chu City is.

But fortunately, in order to prevent the family's internal strife from exceeding the bottom line, the Chu family's law department stipulated that the noble's private territory is sacred and inviolable. Otherwise, Chu Qing would not have to work hard to blackmail Chu Xun, but just broke into his room to search.

"Is this the standard crystal nucleus? It's so beautiful..." Looking at the standard crystal nucleus emitting a soft blue light in the box, Chu Xun couldn't help but marvel. Such a beautiful crystal nucleus, even if it doesn't have that strange ability, is probably enough to cause countless people to snatch it by virtue of its beautiful appearance...

"I don't know if this crystal nucleus is useful to me..." Suddenly, Chu Xun thought that his worm body ability was completely activated by the super savior system, so could this crystal nucleus still have an effect on him?

Thinking of this, Chu Xun immediately took out a crystal nucleus, held it in his hand, and started to perceive it with his eyes closed according to the method he remembered.

hum!

Soon, the crystal nucleus in Chu Xun's hand began to tremble slightly and made a buzzing sound. Then the coin-sized nucleus suddenly turned into a blue light and melted into Chu Xun's palm.

"Drip, the host is supplied with biological energy, the worm's ability is strengthened, and the gene lock is opened by 10%."

As the blue light entered his body, Chu Xun only felt a warm current rushing through his body, and finally merged into his mind, which refreshed him and made him extremely comfortable. At the same time, a cold voice suddenly sounded from his mind, reminding him.

"Gene lock?" Chu Xun frowned slightly at the prompt that suddenly appeared in his mind. Afterwards, without doing anything else, he took a deep breath, took out all the crystal nuclei, and held them in the palm of his hand.

Immediately, amidst the slight buzzing sound, streaks of soft blue light continued to shine from Chu Xun's hands. Soon, all the crystal nuclei disappeared without a trace, and the cold voice sounded again in Chu Xun's mind.

"Drip, the host is supplied with biological energy, the worm's ability is strengthened, the ant's gene is strengthened, and a new gene lock is unlocked."

"Please note: Before obtaining enough biological energy and the body is strong enough, the host should not devour the third gene, so as not to cause the host gene chain to collapse."

As the system notification sounded, Chu Xun felt as if some shackles in his body had been broken, and powerful forces surged in his body, making him have an urge to smash everything with a punch.

At the same time, a faint blue light appeared on Chu Xun's body. Under the glare of the blue light, his originally slender and thin body became much stronger. Although he could not be called burly, at least he was no longer as prone to collapse in the wind as before.

"The strength has become much stronger again!" Chu Xun shook his fists, and felt that his strength seemed to have improved a lot, but how much he had improved would need to be tested to know.

In addition to becoming stronger, the so-called gene lock also attracted Chu Xun's attention. It seems that this worm body ability cannot be strengthened without restraint, otherwise his gene chain may completely collapse, and he will become a monster who is neither human nor ghost.

But fortunately, this restriction is not impossible to lift, the only thing needed, it seems, is enough crystal nuclei.

"That's right. If you want to become stronger, you have to pay a price. How can you get something for nothing?" Shaking his head, Chu Xun's eyes flashed with excitement: "Next, we can devour a new insect gene. What insect do you devour?"

Thinking of this, Chu Xun also began to think.

After the battle with Qingyi, Chu Xun has a considerable understanding of his own strength. After devouring the ant gene, his muscles are already full of strength, coupled with the strengthening obtained by smelting the crystal nucleus this time, if he goes all out now, he can definitely kill a strong adult with ease, and his strength should also be It has reached about ten to fifteen times that of ordinary people, which is definitely enough for him now.

But what didn't match his strong muscular strength was his current body strength, and his relatively fragile bones even affected his strength output. Just like when he was fighting Qingyi, although he was very powerful and killed Qingyi with one punch, it also caused his right arm to be severely damaged, making it almost impossible to fight anymore. But now that his strength has been improved again, his body strength has not changed significantly. This is obviously not balanced, and it can even be said to be a bit deformed.

And now his physical defense ability and reaction speed are also very poor, otherwise he wouldn't be seriously injured by a dagger because he couldn't avoid Qing Yi's attack.

"It seems that the next insect to be devoured is either good at speed or defense." Chu Xun touched his chin, and then began to think about what targets were suitable for devouring near Chu City.

Under the influence of the virus, most creatures in this world have evolved or mutated. Even some of the ants that Chu Xun devoured today have mutated and become even more terrifying mutated ants. Very few survived and remained in their original state.

This is somewhat similar to humans. It's just that a small number of human beings have mutated and possessed special abilities, while most of them are still ordinary.

And even creatures like ants that have survived for countless years have undergone serious mutations, and other creatures are even more conceivable. So at this moment, except for the genetically modified organisms raised by humans, other natural organisms are very rare in the city, and insects are even rarer.

In other words, if Chu Xun wanted to devour suitable insect genes, he could only leave the city and venture outside the city.

"Damn it, you have to fight for wealth and wealth!" After pondering for a moment, Chu Xun finally took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and made a decision.

Soon it will be the student assessment, and with his current strength, he will be seriously injured to deal with a Qingyi, let alone fight with other noble students. And once he fails to get the first place in the student assessment, what awaits him is the fate of obliteration. So instead of waiting to die in fear, it's better to fight, even if you die, you won't regret it!

Anyway, he has already died once!

...

After resting at home for a night, Chu Xun left the house with some simple supplies and an ordinary alloy sword, ready to leave the city.

Chu City is a first-tier city. Although it is only the lowest-level city, its scale is not comparable to those of wild gathering places. Chu City, with a permanent population of 300,000, has an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers, making it the largest human city nearby.

Chu City was built in the mountains. Because the nearby mountains had suffered violent bombardment in the cataclysm hundreds of years ago, the rock structure became extremely compact and hard, so Chu City was also known as the City of Solid Stone. If you look down from a high altitude, you can find that Chu City stands in a square shape among the mountains. The terrain in the east, west, and north directions is extremely steep, difficult to climb, and full of mine traps, making it impossible to pass through. There is only a flat road going up the mountain in the south. main road. The ten-meter-high city walls are all made of solid boulders, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defense is extremely strong, so staying in the city generally does not encounter any danger.

But it is different outside the city. Not only are there various zombie creatures and mutated creatures outside the city, but there are also various other dangers, which can be described as perilous. Therefore, in order to prevent the invasion of creatures outside the city, the defense inside Chu City can be said to be impeccable. Not only are thousands of elite soldiers permanently stationed on the city walls, there are huge artillery, missiles, and automatic cannons, but there are also two huge crystal nuclear energy cannons on each city wall. This kind of crystal nucleus energy cannon uses the biological energy in the crystal nucleus as the energy source. It costs more than a thousand crystal nuclei for each shot, but it is worth the money and powerful enough to destroy mountains and mountains.

In addition, there is only one gate in the south city wall of Chu City. The gate is completely made of special alloy, and its defense is several times stronger than the city wall. Even if it's a third-tier zombie, it's hard to do any damage.

The city gates will not be opened unless a big person arrives, or a caravan arrives once every three months. Therefore, if Chu Xun wants to leave Chu City, the city guard must lift him from the ten-meter-high city wall by crane. Hang yourself.

However, when Chu Xun had just arrived at the south city wall and was about to leave Chu City for hunting, unexpected troubles suddenly arose.
