Chapter 127: Advancement to Level
“This this……”

“Is this the way the Black Wind Clan pollutes and transforms the world?! Could it be that the Black Wind Clan has already made some moves under the Ying Lake?!”

“I’m afraid it’s not just below Ying Lake, there are probably similar places throughout the Black Wind Sand Land, or even… I’m afraid it’s not just in the Black Wind Sand Land!!”

Yang Chen and Peng Min were both stunned.

This is just the places they can see.

Similar changes must have occurred in other places that have been covered by black fog and are completely invisible.

In fact, it was similar to what the two had guessed.

Because the time was too short and the Yinghu Oasis was not small, some people who were worried about not having enough food dug grass roots all night and have not yet left the Yinghu Oasis.

Then this group of people saw that a blanket of black fog suddenly spread in the direction of Ying Lake.

Wherever the black fog passed, most ordinary people suddenly underwent horrible changes.

Even some evolvers were affected.

However, the evolver only feels a strong sense of discomfort, and he will recover quickly as long as he takes detoxification capsules in time.

But ordinary people are miserable. Except for a very few who are lucky enough to be immune, most people’s bodies simply rot and turn into skeletons.

The flesh and blood on their bodies melted into blue liquid and dripped onto the ground, then began to spread outward, polluting the earth.

There were also some ordinary people who did not turn into skeletons, but became infected, howling and attacking the people around them desperately.

……

“Should we leave quickly?” Peng Min was already a little panicked.

“How can we leave? We can’t leave now. The black fog is so thick that we can’t tell the direction. The shelter is the safest place.”

As Yang Chen put on his clothes, he said solemnly: “Anyway, we have enough food and water now. At worst, we can put the shelter into hidden mode.”

As he spoke, he turned the view of the surveillance screen and looked towards the [Cage Fruit Tree].

Perhaps because of the nourishment of the bionic liquid fertilizer, in just one day and one night, a large number of flowers on the pitcher fruit tree withered and fell off, and were replaced by tiny fruits.

Those fruits are all only the size of fingers, hanging in bunches on the tree, and it is difficult to count them.

A rough estimate is that there are probably several thousand of them.

However, what made him frown was that some of the tender fruits were not growing well, and many had even fallen to the ground.

“Could it be that there is not enough fertilizer?” Peng Min asked. She had also put on her clothes and was ready to go out at any time.

“Maybe. I’ll add a little more fertilizer.”

Yang Chen returned to the living room on the surface, opened the door cautiously, and walked out of the shelter.

The area around the shelter was peaceful and quiet because of the protection of Peng Min’s space barrier.

But because the sky was covered with black fog, the area was also pitch black. Only the faint light in the shelter illuminated the courtyard area, and the light was quite dim.

There seemed to be something moving in the darkness in the distance, but it was blocked outside by the space barrier.

Now Peng Min’s space barrier can cover an area with a radius of 130 meters, which is a large area and enough for them to live.

Yang Chen was alert to his surroundings and took out the bionic liquid water bag. The water inside had been completely transformed.

He pulled out the plug and poured the “fertilizer” under the cage fruit tree, and immediately a strong smell came out.

Because the conversion of the bionic liquid takes time, and in order to prevent the pitcher fruit tree from being burned by excessive fertilizer, he decided to water it only once a day.

Peng Min followed him out, looking into the distance with a vigilant look in his eyes: “The black fog has thinned, and we can see the situation in the distance clearly.”

Yang Chen looked up, and sure enough, the black fog had become much thinner.

Faintly, he saw small skeletons walking aimlessly along the shore.

In the Ying Lake ahead, there were also some creatures with only skeletons left swimming around.

The lake water, which was originally dyed red by blood, has now turned almost black. To be precise, it has turned into a blue and green color.

Staring closely, it gives people an inexplicably bad feeling, as if their souls are being sucked in.

“The crack in the space inside has become bigger, and something is pouring out.” Peng Min sensed it.

“Don’t stare at it. If there’s anything dangerous, it might be able to sense our gaze.” Yang Chen said solemnly.

Peng Min nodded.

The black fog that enveloped the sky and the earth became thinner, but did not completely dissipate.

The two of them simply ate some food and then continued their busy day.

Peng Min began to adapt to her super evolution, while Yang Chen continued to strengthen the nail gun.

The day passed in a blink of an eye.

The next day, when Yang Chen was fertilizing the cage fruit tree again, he found that the cage fruits hanging on the tree were as big as a child’s fist.

The growth is amazing.

But what made the two frown was that more things fell.

Peng Min picked up a fallen young fruit, tried to cut it open, and was immediately shocked.

Because the inside of the fallen tender fruit was actually meat.

“There’s really meat inside!” She said in surprise. Yang Chen also saw it, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He picked one up and cut it open. Sure enough, there was meat inside.

Relying on his immunity to various toxins, he tried a bite and found that it tasted better than many raw meats because it did not have any fishy smell.

The most amazing thing is that this kind of meat is actually delicious when eaten raw. Apart from the lack of salt, the taste is unexpectedly good.

Perhaps because it has not been affected by any acquired factors, there are no residues inside, and there are no bones, so it can be finished in one gulp.

“It’s definitely top-quality meat. Collect all the fallen tender fruits.” He said to Peng Min in surprise.

“Uh-huh.”

Peng Min immediately waved her hand, and the tender fruits that had fallen off before they grew up flew towards her and were collected by her into one of the space folding bags.

Even the finger-sized tender fruits that had fallen off the day before were collected by her.

She tried to cut it open and saw that there was very tender flesh inside, completely different from normal fruit.

The following day was no different from the previous one, and the two of them were busy with their own things.

Another day passed in the blink of an eye.

This is already the fourth day of the upheaval.

When Yang Chen came out again to fertilize the cage fruit tree, he found that the cage fruit had grown to the size of an adult’s fist.

But at this time, many tender fruits fall off.

Although they were still somewhat depressed, they were not as downcast as before and they both put it away.

Because these fallen tender fruits are also flesh, and they are extremely nutritious.

Now, one as big as a fist is enough for an evolver to have a meal.

The black fog outside has become thinner and is showing signs of dispersing.

But Yang Chen had a feeling that a storm was about to come, because he felt inexplicably depressed.

He was already thinking about leaving, but the cage fruits were not yet fully ripe. They were their food and he absolutely could not give them up.

For a long time in the future, they may not be able to find more food, and the pitcher fruit tree may be their only source of food.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the tenth day of the drastic changes.

With Yang Chen working day and night, the nail gun was finally upgraded to level 28.

[Gauss Invisible Nail Gun lv.28: 0% (…effective range 163 km, maximum range 489 km)]

At this time, the pitcher fruit has grown to the size of a human head. Although unripe fruits still fall off every day, the number of fruits that fall off is very small.

And because so many seeds fell during this period, there were not many left on the tree, less than a thousand.

The fruits are densely packed and of astonishing weight.

Fortunately, the Nepenthe tree is already level 11 and of very high quality, so even though there are so many fruits as big as human heads hanging on it, there is no sign of it being crushed.

The two looked at the abundant fruits on the trees and felt that the future was promising.

In the following time, Yang Chen spent all his time strengthening the nail gun except for the necessary time for sleeping and eating.

Another ten days passed, and the nail gun reached level 244, with an effective range of an astonishing kilometers.

At this time, the cage fruit is still only the size of a human head, but it has begun to grow into a long strip.

Yang Chen’s mental power can scan, and he vaguely scanned the internal organs and other structures inside the cage fruit.

Finally, on the 30th day since the upheaval, the black fog outside completely dissipated.

It was also on this day that the nail gun reached level 30.

[Gauss Invisible Nail Gun lv.30 (Awakened): 0% (…effective range 360 ​​km, maximum range 1080 km)]

The maximum range of a level 30 nail gun is over one thousand kilometers.

Yang Chen is looking forward to it very much. Will there be new functions after level 31?

He continued to strengthen it. Anyway, he had a lot of resources on him now. If he only strengthened the nail gun, it should be enough for him to use it to the fourth or even fifth level.

Not to mention the serum given by Huyan Lingxi, even the serum they exchanged with Kunwu coins has not been used up yet.

There are also infected blood crystals obtained from Cai Lun and other evolvers, which have not been used.

The cage fruit is getting closer to maturity because its internal organs and other structures are becoming more and more delicate and complete.

Faintly, the two even sensed the fluctuations of life in it.

If left unattended, it may fully mature in a month at most, fall off automatically, and then become a spirit and run away.

Yang Chen naturally couldn’t let it run away, this was their food.

In the following time, he continued to strengthen the nail gun, absorbed the awakening energy born from the level 30 nail gun, and began to advance towards a third-level evolver.

As he absorbed more and more ‘awakening energy’, his physical fitness became stronger and stronger.

Just like the previous times, he did not have the middle and late stages. In other words, after he was promoted to a certain level, he was directly at the peak of that level without having to go through the middle and late stages.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. When the nail gun was completely upgraded, his evolution level finally reached the third level.
