Chapter 239: Super Evolution!
After a night of learning and reciting Core Values, Shen Tingting, Si Ruoqing, Lin Mancha, Lin Yurou, Tang Jingyan, the twin sisters, and the little loli all successfully experienced a spiritual sublimation and evolution.
All the women successfully entered the ranks of mutants.
Especially Si Ruoqing, who directly awakened an exceptionally strong combat power, rapidly escalating to an extraordinary realm!
Tang Jingyan's mutant ability awakened the Body Shapeshifting technique. Building upon her existing yoga flexibility, she gained the unique ability to change the size and shape of any part of her body, much like the protagonist in One Piece who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit.
Lin Mancha awakened an agility-based ability, allowing her to briefly fly through the air, traverse walls, and move gracefully like a swan.
The twin sisters awakened a combined ability. While individually their combat qualities weren't very strong, when they joined forces, they exhibited astonishing fighting power.
As for the little loli, she awakened a strength-based ability. Despite her small stature and cute appearance, she concealed a tremendous and terrifying strength. Alex tested it, and her strength attribute might have already reached the peak of extraordinary, putting her on par with Alex's current strength.
Alex observed that under the influence and guidance of his "Core Values," awakened abilities seemed to manifest more easily, resulting in a higher likelihood of creating mutants. While these abilities might not be extremely powerful, they were stronger than those typically awakened. Compared to evolution induced by Professor Yang's drugs, these abilities had a significant advantage.
Having gained so many female mutants in one night, Alex was genuinely pleased. Although the night's activities left him slightly fatigued, he felt it was all worth it.
Now, "learning" "Core Values" with these beautiful women, Alex would experience a different sensation under the influence of their awakened abilities.
Getting up from bed with a book on ethics and morality in hand, Alex took a deep breath. Under the attentive service of the women, he began to drink milk, eat eggs, and enjoy a nutritious breakfast.
Alex noticed that his appetite seemed to have increased significantly after using the new skill, especially for protein replenishment, which required a considerable amount.
In order to supply Alex with milk, Nana, the cow-horned girl, had even lost weight from her efforts.
After breakfast, Alex went directly to Magic City One, the City of Darkness located in the Magic City Aquarium Shelter. Thanks to the efforts of the resource collection team, the graves in Magic City One had already begun to bury the bodies of zombies. The rate at which Alex's doomsday coins increased had directly doubled.
However, without A-level zombies, Alex's attribute values were increasing slowly.
"System, give me an introduction to Invisibility Technique!"
Opening the skill panel, Alex selected the Invisibility Technique. This was a transcendent skill he acquired after reaching the Transcendent Realm.
Compared to the skills he had previously mastered, Alex felt that the Invisibility Technique might not be very powerful.
[Invisibility Technique: Possessors of this skill can render their bodies transparent. With a mental attribute below 1000 points, this spell cannot be detected. This skill is in its primary stage, and each use consumes mental energy. It can be sustained for a maximum of one hour.]
[Reminder: During the use of Invisibility Technique, the possessor is merely undetectable and invisible, but the body still exists and can be attacked and touched!]
After reading the system's notes, Alex couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. In his opinion, the Invisibility Technique seemed less powerful than the Teleportation Technique. Moreover, it consumed mental energy during use.
In the current situation, Invisibility Technique seemed somewhat lackluster. Nevertheless, it was better than nothing.
"Snap!" Alex snapped his fingers, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot. This time, Alex used Invisibility Technique instead of teleportation. In the state of invisibility, he attempted to walk beside Chongmeng, who was directing the work of the female slaves in the aquarium shelter.
Regardless of how Alex gestured or waved near Chongmeng, she still didn't notice him. Chongmeng's physical attributes had grown alongside Alex, and her mental attribute value was likely the highest among everyone. If even Chongmeng couldn't detect him, Alex could confirm the effectiveness of the Invisibility Technique.
Turning around, Alex wanted to try the feeling of eavesdropping and peeking in the crowd using Invisibility Technique. However, at this moment, there was suddenly a panicked shout from outside the city.
A team of corpse collectors in armored and off-road vehicles rapidly rushed into the aquarium shelter.
Alex's figure flickered, appearing again, this time with the invisibility dispelled, standing coldly in front of the convoy. The leading armored vehicle made an abrupt stop, and the following vehicles quickly followed suit.
A mutated and enslaved warrior, leading the group, hastily jumped down from the vehicle, angrily and anxiously kneeling before Alex, "Master! Something went wrong! We were ambushed by a team of mutated individuals, suffering heavy losses. Captain Pippi sacrificed himself to cover our retreat and was captured by those people!"
"What?!" Alex's expression darkened, his gaze icy. This was the first time he encountered such a situation since obtaining the City of Darkness system! Someone had actually abducted his subordinate!!
Though Pippi was just an ordinary enslaved mutated person under Alex, he held sentimental value. Pippi's stubbornness and unwavering loyalty had impressed Alex. Moreover, after undergoing self-castration to become a eunuch, Pippi had become an unblemished one.
Since that incident, Alex regarded Pippi as his little brother. Pippi's capture had ignited the flames of anger in Alex's heart!
"Give me a concise account of what happened!" Alex, with a darkened expression, glanced at the enslaved and unblemished warrior and then suppressed his anger to speak.
A dog must recognize its master! Since these people had captured his subordinate, there was no room for any negotiation!
Alex had to find them, rescue Pippi, and then eliminate everyone involved in this matter!
"Reporting to Master, there were about fifty people in this group. They are well-equipped and almost half of them are mutated individuals. Several leading mutated individuals have astonishing combat strength! Even when three of us mutated individuals joined forces, we were killed by the young leader among them. It seems their goal is to plunder our supplies and weapons.
Captain Pippi sacrificed himself to protect everyone and our weapons, but he was surrounded and captured by them. When we fled, they only tied up the severely injured Captain Pippi. Please, Master, send reinforcements immediately to rescue Captain Pippi..." The enslaved and unblemished warrior spoke with deep affection for Pippi, showing intense concern for Pippi's situation.
Alex nodded without blaming the warrior and pondered for a moment before asking, "Where did these people come from, and where are they now? Do you know?"
"Reporting to Master, we encountered this group by the riverside! Our search in that area was initially going smoothly. Later, someone noticed a large destroyer appearing in the port. Captain Pippi wanted to investigate the situation on the destroyer. We were ambushed near the destroyer, and I suspect these people likely came from the sea.
Moreover, they were all dressed in blue and white naval warrior uniforms..."
After listening to the report from the enslaved and unblemished warrior, Alex had a general understanding of the situation. He waved to Chongmeng and said, "Chongmeng, send an armed helicopter over. I want to go there personally."
Soon, guided by the enslaved and unblemished warrior, the armed helicopter started flying towards the location where the previous battle occurred.
Looking down from a high vantage point, the entire Magic City was shrouded in smoke. The streets were filled with zombies, and major roads were completely blocked by cars, making them impassable.
At a glance, the once bustling Magic City had now become a hell on earth.
"Master! Look! We encountered an ambush right there just now!" Following the guidance of the enslaved and unblemished warrior, Alex saw a port.
On the port, some dilapidated fishing boats stood, with zombies wandering on them. As for the destroyer mentioned by the enslaved and unblemished warrior, it was nowhere to be seen.
Alex picked up binoculars and looked in the direction of the river mouth leading to the ocean. With the advantage of height and the binoculars, Alex indeed saw a destroyer slowly moving towards the sea above the horizon.
"It seems these people really came from the sea. Moreover, having such a powerful destroyer and so many mutated warriors, this force is definitely extraordinary!" Alex muttered to himself. If these people were on land, Alex was confident that he could lead a large army of mutated individuals to completely flatten their refuge.
However, it now appears that the refuge of these people is at sea, and they possess powerful naval forces and a large number of warriors. Without ships capable of countering a destroyer of this class, Alex finds it challenging to engage in a confrontation at sea with the current strength.
Rescuing Pipi and eliminating these people doesn't seem to be so easy! Regardless of the difficulties, since these people have offended him, Alex will not let them go!
Alex looked towards the direction of the destroyer, his eyes as cold as a knife, and his expression filled with gloom. An eye for an eye, and even more so; this has always been Alex's character! No matter who these people are or for what purpose they came, since they have captured his people and provoked him, they must die!
"Let's go back!" Alex ordered Chongmeng, who was piloting the armed helicopter.
With the enemy possessing a formidable destroyer, they surely have other weapons defending against naval and aerial threats. Engaging in open combat with an armed helicopter would not be wise.
Back at the Oceanarium Shelter, City of Darkness, Alex directly summoned the Water Sorceress.
In aquatic warfare, the Water Sorceress's combat power is terrifying. Initially, Alex planned for the Water Sorceress to take him out to sea to find the enemy's island, and then he would act accordingly. However, he quickly abandoned this idea. Continue reading on m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
While the Water Sorceress is formidable in freshwater, in seawater, she is no different from an ordinary mutated individual—weak combat abilities and unable to transform her form.
Having the Water Sorceress lead him to the enemy's island refuge in the sea is not a viable option. Alex's original plan completely went awry.
Now, Alex finds himself in a dilemma. If he waits for these people to come ashore for another ambush near the riverbank, there's no certainty on when it will happen. Moreover, they might change their landing location.
Alex is someone who holds a grudge and does not let offenses go unanswered. Waiting indefinitely for the perfect moment is not something he can afford to do.
"System! Check how many doomsday coins I have left!"
[Doomsday Coins: 15,731]
After a night of accumulation, the doomsday coins have once again exceeded ten thousand.
"System! Immediately summon the seed of the Demon God!"
...
With the seed of the Demon God in his hand, Alex has formulated a preliminary plan!
Since the current powers and equipment at his disposal can't provide the necessary support, Alex decides to take matters into his own hands.
He delegates all the tasks within the City of Darkness to Chongmeng and then boards a helicopter, heading straight to the port.
During the helicopter ride, Alex noticed several somewhat dilapidated fishing boats. Despite their condition, these boats are still functional for navigating the sea.
As the helicopter approaches the port, Alex's figure disappears and reappears directly on one of the fishing boats.
As the helicopter slowly departs, Alex begins searching for a suitable vessel among the fishing boats.
