Chapter 421: Protracted War

Early the next morning.

Lin Shi didn't even go to say goodbye to Lin Tianrui. He just said a word to a soldier and left the base with the demon king.

Just like last time, he left without saying goodbye.

But this time, it was not just Lin Tianrui and Wang Chao who saw him off on the city wall.

Everyone knew that Lin Shi was leaving this time to hunt a large number of source beasts.

Regardless of whether Lin Shi was doing it for himself, such an action was also to protect all mankind.

They paid tribute to the hero!

Not long after Lin Shi left, someone from the Research Institute came to Liao Peng and said that Dean Li asked him to come over.

A few days later, Liao Peng left the Research Institute and officially became a third-level evolver.

With the third-level strength, he could already live well in the base.

For many people, this surge in strength can arouse their greed more than anything else.

Liao Peng only said to the outside world that he was cooperating with the Research Institute to complete an experiment.

The content and process of the experiment were confidential and could not be disclosed.

The Research Institute later confirmed what Liao Peng said.

And severely warned others who wanted to explore the confidential content of the experiment.

That’s why those who had all kinds of thoughts didn’t dare to explore anymore.

But after that.

Liao Peng would always look at the direction of the Wolong Courtyard where Lin Shi once lived with red eyes for a long, long time.

…

Lin Shi didn’t care what happened in the base later.

He had explained everything he should explain before leaving.

He was riding a skateboard and had been hundreds of kilometers away from the Shashi base.

Yesterday he gave a replica of the juice of the sacred tree’s heart to Li Xianke as a reward, asking him to improve Liao Peng’s strength.

It was the last gift he and Liao Peng gave to say goodbye.

He had known Liao Peng for more than a year.

He helped Liao Peng no less than Liao Peng did for him.

Therefore, he didn’t owe Liao Peng anything.

He was single and used to living alone.

He was unwilling to give actively, nor did he want to accept too much kindness from others.

If he gave, he would care about the return.

If he accepted, he would be soft-hearted.

This little kindness before leaving was to cut off the last bit of kindness in his heart towards Liao Peng.

See you next time. If Liao Peng or someone around him is bad for me.

Lin Shi wouldn't mind killing him.

Lin Shi was skiing, his eyes slightly absent-minded as if he was recalling something.

Last night, after Li Xianke left, an old acquaintance came to the yard.

Qi Yun.

Or rather, he is now called Xie Qingshan.

Qi Yun also brought Lin Shi a piece of news.

Coincidentally, Qi Yun's news was also about Zhao Ya.

But Qi Yun said it very calmly.

He said:

"A few days ago, when I was bored and using my spiritual power at the edge of the square, I accidentally found a woman talking to someone, so I eavesdropped on her."

"The woman told a man that she hoped the man would do something to an icicle when she passed by the round building tomorrow. Let the icicle fall and hit her by chance."

"This woman is obviously an ordinary person, but the person talking to her is a third-level evolver.

I was curious at the time that an ordinary person could actually command a third-level evolver, so I casually investigated."

After hearing this, Lin Shi had already guessed something.

"It turns out that this woman actually used her husband's name to borrow someone's power and promised to give a lot of materials to get people to do things."

"After that, there was a rumor in the round building that someone wanted to kill Liao Peng's wife and replace her in order to get close to someone."

"Do you know who this someone is?"

Lin Shi smiled and said nothing.

Qi Yun said:

"Do you want me to help you deal with this woman? I promise it won't affect the relationship between you and your subordinates.

But I don't think your subordinates are completely unaware of this."

"No need."

Lin Shi was very calm, without a trace of anger on his face.

"That person was not my subordinate in the first place, and now he is just a useless person.

If you abandon him, then abandon him. You didn't come to me just to talk about this little thing, did you?"

For Lin Shi's current strength, this kind of thing is like ants fighting for the apple core left in his hand.

It is indeed an insignificant little thing.

It's just that Lin Shi is unwilling to do it. Qi Yun said that he is very idle.

"Of course not, I have to thank you for saving me again. I haven't thanked you for giving me the antidote before.

Last time on Dolaili Island, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time getting away."

Qi Yun thanked him seriously.

"So you were on the island last time? I just did it by chance."

Lin Shi asked knowingly, and raised his eyebrows casually.

This look made Qi Yun feel like he deserved a beating.

He used to be the one pretending to be cool, but now Lin Shi is the one pretending to be cool.

Never mind, he is his cousin and his savior.

“I will help you keep an eye on the base, go and do what you need.”

Qi Yun pouted.

“Okay, I will leave tomorrow.”

The two of them did not have much interaction before, but now they both like each other.

They chatted very naturally.

Qi Yun was originally a carefree and casual person.

Lin Shi let go of his grudge against Qi Yun because Qi Yun asked Qi Yi to pass on the message to him when he encountered a life-and-death crisis.

The two of them talked for a long time about the topic of the hidden family and the current battle for survival between source beasts and humans.

Qi Yun did not leave until late at night.

Before leaving, he still left a few thousand gene pills for Lin Shi.

It was obvious that so many gene pills would not be exchanged in a short time.

In fact, Lin Shi’s demand for gene pills was not so great now.

But he still carefully collected them.

…

Lin Shi put away his reminiscence.

These things were just minor episodes.

What he had to do next was the most important thing!

There were tens of millions of source beasts in the world, and the current statistics of human survivors obtained from the base were only a few million.

Yes, millions.

Not tens of millions nor hundreds of millions.

At the beginning of the end of the world, humans and many wild animals died on a large scale due to the sudden change in the environment.

Later, as the temperature dropped to dozens of degrees below zero.

A large number of people who were originally accustomed to tropical and subtropical climates were the first to give up.

Some got sick, some froze to death.

The collapse of the medical system was also one of the main reasons for the large-scale death of humans.

And the location near the poles almost became a life forbidden zone.

The appearance of source beasts afterwards was the heaviest straw that overwhelmed the world’s population.

Most of the source beasts feed on meat, and their smart minds after evolution make them know that it is easier to hunt humans than to hunt their own kind.

Except for some military bases that had hot weapons and could still be used at the beginning, the survivors in other places were almost killed or injured by the smell of the source beasts.

Don’t look at the large scale of the Shashi base now.

How many countries in the world can react as quickly as Xiaguo, and have the help of a strong man like Lin Shi?

Therefore, Lin Shi hunted the source beasts.

Even if it was a one-sided massacre, it was a protracted war!

What’s more, there are also kings who evolve very quickly among the source beasts!
