Under the rotten epidermis, the internal organs were completely rotten, and a strong stench wafted over. Lin Chaos expression remained calm, his movements extremely skilled as he quickly pried open the ribcage to examine the rotting flesh around the heart.

  "Nothing?" Lin Chao raised an eyebrow and used his flying knife to dig out all the blood and flesh from the heart, but he didnt see the expected evolutionary energy.

  Evolution Energy is the most valuable thing inside a corpse, formed by the transformation of the heart, shaped like a crystal, with a layer of solid membrane on its surface that can withstand viral corrosion. The Evolution Energy inside is dark red in color and is composed of a large amount of blood from the entire body of the corpse and the whole heart, mixed with a small amount of virus, containing strange power that can replenish and enhance human cells. If an ordinary person swallows it, they can quickly become an Evolver!

  Once evolved, whether its strength, speed, hearing, vision and other aspects will be greatly enhanced, equivalent to twice that of ordinary people, already very close to the corpse, and also has the ability to immunize against viruses.

  Lin Chao chose to go out hunting, just wanting to obtain evolution energy and become an Evolver. This is the minimum guarantee for survival in the doomsday!

  He didnt linger but instead searched for the next corpse.

  Not every corpse will condense evolutionary energy inside its body, which requires the cooperation of many factors to be born. Generally, one in three corpses will have evolutionary energy.

  Arrived at the 17th floor.

  There are four households here, two of which have their doors open. One of them is estimated to be the old mans house, and the other two have their doors tightly closed.

  Lin Chao came to one of the open doors and gently pushed it.

  The door creaked open slowly.

  The room was in a state of chaos, the tea table shattered, with pools of blood splattered all over the floor, along with various things scattered about and broken ceramic bowls.

  Lin Chaoyi quietly held her breath and carefully entered.

  Here is some distance from the stairs, without the help of the stairs, on flat ground he would have a much harder time fighting against the corpse.

  In the living room, an old arm with a few pieces of skin and flesh gnawed off lay on the ground, with bloodstains extending all the way to the bedroom.

  Lin Chao saw several blood-red shoe prints and followed them to the bedroom door, carefully peeking inside through the crack.

  In the bedroom, a woman lay sideways on a wide bed with her back to the door.

  Lin Chao took a glance at her arm outside the short sleeve, her skin was fair and not festering, it wasnt a rotten corpse, he let out a breath of relief, pushed open the door and walked in directly.

  As he approached the woman, he was about to take a look to see if there was still any possibility of rescue, when his pupils suddenly contracted slightly.

  All I saw was a womans arms slowly lifting up a skull from her bosom.

  This is an infant, probably a few months old, just learning to crawl. At this moment, his entire body is festering, the tender flesh of the baby has all festered into pus-filled sores. The veins on his forehead are bulging under the skin, his eyes have rolled back, and his face is covered in fresh blood. Sharp teeth have grown out of his mouth, and hes gnawing on a piece of intestine.

  The womans body was also pushed away by it, lying flat on the bed, with her entire abdomen hollowed out and her intestines pulled out.

  Roar!

  The infant corpse let out a sharp wail, the unformed vocal cords producing a scream that was as piercing as crying, extremely ear-piercing.

  Lin Chaos iron rod suddenly stabbed out!

  Bang!

  Shove it down his throat.

  The front end of the iron rod immediately crushed the sharp teeth in its mouth, it was ferocious and still biting the iron rod, two rotten small arms struggled to wave, wanting to stretch onto Lin Chaos body.

  Lin Chaos eyes turned cold.

  The iron rod was pulled out and swept away, smashing its skull with one stick!

  The infant corpse was not a threat at all. If it werent for the womans carelessness, she wouldnt have been bitten to death and eaten by the corpse.

  Lin Cha pulled out a flying knife with a cold expression and cut open its heart position... still nothing.

  He didnt stay there anymore and immediately went to search for the next room.

  The longer he is exposed outside, the stronger his own smell will be, and it will secrete through pores and sweat, attracting carrion.

  It must be quick!

  Fortunately, there are only four households on each floor here, and at least one of them has a tightly closed door. Even if there is a corpse inside, it wont know how to open the door.

  In addition to the three households, there were only three or four corpses in total. Only the elderly and children were infected, they would eat their relatives around them at the first time, and would not give their relatives time to become infected and turn into corpses.

  With A3-level marksmanship, even if Lin Chao wasnt an Evolver, he could still take out these early-stage zombies. After all, they didnt have any intelligence, their movements were simple, and they just charged at people without any technique or balance, nor did they know how to dodge obstacles.

  This means that even if you hit them with a stick, they will still pounce on you.

  In some ways, this is terrifying.

  But if utilized well, it is their fatal weakness!

  Soon, Lin Chao cleared the 17th floor, and together with the old man and the baby, they hunted down three rotting corpses, but didnt obtain any evolution energy.

  He continued on to the sixteenth floor.

  Here, only one households door was wide open, while the other three households doors were tightly closed. This doesnt necessarily mean theyre still alive; its possible that they hadnt even had time to escape before being bitten to death by the rotting corpses beside them.

  Outside this open door is a skull and skeleton.

  A middle-aged corpse wandered beside it, wearing casual home clothes with large patches of dried blood on its clothes.

  As soon as he saw Lin Chao, this middle-aged corpse rushed over with a roar.

  Lin Chaoshens expression was calm and collected, gripping the iron rod as he prepared to charge forward. But in the next instant, a rotting corpse suddenly burst out of the open door again, this time it was a woman with disheveled hair, her face covered in festering sores and a ferocious glare.

  Two!

  Lin Chaosheng was slightly startled in his heart and immediately chose to retreat.

  Two rotting corpses arrived at the stairs, one after another, but like that old man, they also lacked intelligence, didnt know how to jump or avoid obstacles. If this were a rural area, its likely they would trip over the high threshold when rushing out of the door.

  Two corpses fell backward and collapsed on the stairs.

  They still did not give up, persisting with their hands and feet, like a vengeful spirit that would not rest until it had achieved its goal.

  Lin Chao immediately chose to attack.

  Under the circumstances of occupying an excellent geographical advantage, these crawling corpses cant catch his feet at all. After retreating and smashing, the two corpses were immediately killed.

  Lin Chao immediately began digging out their hearts.

  Still no!

  Lin Chaos face turned somewhat black, this hand was too unlucky, adding to yesterdays one, a total of six were killed without evolving energy.

  He had no choice but to continue cleaning downstairs reluctantly.

  Fifteenth floor, fourteenth floor...

  All the way to the thirteenth floor, Lin Chao killed a total of fifteen zombies, but without exception, none of them yielded evolution energy.

  "Even if the decayed spirit possessed, it wouldnt be so exaggerated, right? More than a dozen didnt produce evolution energy... Could it be that in the initial stages of decay, the amount of virus in the body wasnt high, so no evolution energy was produced?" Lin Chao thought this was very possible.

  He didnt continue to clear downwards, even if he killed more rotten corpses, it was uncertain whether he could obtain evolution energy.

  Did he give up?

  Of course not, unless you kill ordinary zombies to obtain evolution energy and become an evolver, there are two other options.

  First, extract the relatively intact genes from these ordinary corpses that have been lightly infected and transplant them into your own body!

  By utilizing this genes stimulation, one becomes a semi-evolved person, acquiring physical strength and speed about twice that of an ordinary human, equivalent to half the power of an evolved person.

  There is a certain risk of semi-evolution. The genetic difference between humans is very large, and transplantation can be done once or twice, but if it is done many times, it will cause the biological chain to collapse, the genes will become chaotic, and eventually completely collapse, leading to direct explosion and death.

  So Lin Chao hadnt considered this method before.

  The second road is to hunt for special rotting corpses!

  Above the ordinary corpse, there is another kind of corpse, whose strength and speed are about five times that of an ordinary person. Even if Lin Chao has A3-level marksmanship, he doesnt dare to confront it head-on! Because the gap is really too big, it only takes a moment for it to pounce over, and the retina cant capture it clearly, let alone dodge.

  In addition, special zombies also have a special ability. Some special zombies will not die even if their heads are blown up. Others are immune to lightning and some can breathe underwater.

  In the body of a special corpse, almost 100% possess evolutionary energy, and its even special evolutionary energy!

  Once you obtain special evolution energy, you can become a special evolver, not only possessing physical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary evolvers, but also inheriting the corpses special abilities!

  These abilities will grow stronger with evolution.

  In later generations, all warriors who can rank among the worlds top 100 are special evolvers. Various abilities evolve to their limits and undergo unimaginable transformations, such as from initially being immune to lightning to eventually controlling lightning, using micro-currents in the body to generate powerful electrical energy for combat!

  The number of special rotten corpses is extremely small, about one in ten thousand ordinary rotten corpses may mutate into a special rotten corpse.

  Lin Chao had originally planned to become an ordinary Evolver first before going to hunt for Special Corpses, but now it seems that he can only bring his plans forward.

  He went back upstairs and knocked on the door. Lin Shiyu should be getting up now.

  With a creak, the door opened. Lin Shiyus eyes were slightly red-rimmed, and as soon as the door was open, she grabbed Lin Chaos hand and bit down on it.

  Lin Chao didnt dodge, letting her cherry lips bite down, without any pain, she seemed to be moving fiercely, but in fact, she was biting very lightly, leaving only a row of shallow teeth marks... and saliva.

  "If you dare to do something so dangerous again, I will never forgive you!" Lin Shiyu glared at him fiercely.

  Lin Chao smiled at him.

  Such a thing is just a piece of cake for him, and its not even considered dangerous. He had planned everything before going out and didnt act blindly.
