The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 238 In-depth analysis of gene expression
"What do you think of my new skill?"

"That's amazing, how did you do that?"

In the midst of the heavy rain, the two men carried the red-haired pig into a stone cave, where they skinned and cut the pig into pieces while chatting.

Ding Yan smiled and said, "This is an improvement I made based on the air cannon fist."

"Last time in the Fire Bamboo Forest, I saw Wu Meng was able to perform an air cannon punch purely by relying on his great strength. It dealt a heavy blow to me."

"After I came back, I carefully recalled your fight and how he used the air cannon punch."

"He has perfectly solved the problem of dispersed fist power. He doesn't need to rely on empowerment power to forcibly restrain the power like I do."

"I have been thinking about how he did this, how he was able to keep his power together and not disperse in a short period of time."

"After so much trial and error, I finally mastered this powerful punching method."

"Then I realized that my empowerment ability seemed a bit useless."

"I can now perform air cannon punches without the help of empowered powers."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "In theory, as long as the power is strong enough and concentrated enough, anyone can perform an air cannon punch."

Ding Yan cut off a pig leg and nodded, "Yes, then I was wondering, what other advantages does my empowerment ability have?"

"Then it occurred to me that the air cannon punch creates an explosive force that causes damage."

"But the power of the explosion depends on the strength of the punch."

"The bigger the punch, the bigger the explosion."

"But if the punch force doesn't explode but is extremely compressed, will the destructive power be even greater?"

"It's like a hammer and a blade. The hammer is powerful when it hits the enemy, but it may not kill the enemy immediately. It can only injure the enemy severely and break his bones."

"But if you chop with a knife with the same force and the blade is sharp enough, can you cut the opponent in half in an instant?"

"Then can I use the power of my fist as the driving force and the empowerment as the outer shell to compress the protective film formed by the empowerment ability to form a sharp blade?"

At this point, Liang Yuan also laughed.

Obviously, Ding Yan in front of us has indeed done it and figured it out!
That crescent-shaped light blade was developed in this way!
He couldn't help but sigh, "Wu Meng is right, you are indeed a fighting genius."

"You are ahead of us in exploring superpowers."

"No, you were actually walking ahead of us the whole time."

"Not only the previous empowerment defense and attack integration, but also the innovation of air cannon boxing skills, and now the light blade, you have perfectly tapped the role of empowerment."

Ding Yan smiled and said, "I can't help it. If I don't work hard to explore my own strengths, I will be left behind by you guys."

"I don't want to be like Cai Zhi, Lao Ma and the others, who can only do logistics work in the future. I won't even be able to sit next to you at team dinners in the future."

Liang Yuan's heart trembled, and he looked at her softly, saying: "You know, even if you don't have superpowers, there will always be a place for you by my side."

Ding Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said forcefully: "I don't want you to stay, I want to fight for it myself!"

Liang Yuan was stunned, then smiled and shook his head. This was Ding Yan.

Still so strong and stubborn.

He smiled and said, "You've already earned it."

His words were full of profound meaning, and Ding Yan finally came to her senses. She couldn't help but glare at him unhappily, then a smile appeared on her lips.

Liang Yuan asked: "What is the name of this move?"

Ding Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Think of one."

"I?"

"Yes, you are the first person to witness this move. Let me ask you to think of one."

Liang Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about calling it Moon Blade?"

Ding Yan thought about it and realized that the compressed empowered light blade was indeed shaped like a crescent moon and as sharp as a blade.

This name is very appropriate.

She immediately laughed: "It sounds nice and appropriate, let's call it Moon Blade!"

Liang Yuan also laughed and said, "We can't imitate this move. It's your unique move."

Ding Yan also chuckled. This move was indeed not as easy to learn as the air cannon punch.

You must rely on empowering abilities.

Even if Wu Meng saw it again, he would not be able to learn it.

"clang!"

As they were talking, Liang Yuan's dagger suddenly hit a hard bone.

Liang Yuan was stunned and looked down. He found that the skull of the pig head in his hand was unusually hard.

Liang Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately said: "Hey, is there any unexpected gain?"

Ding Yan was curious and asked, "What unexpected gain?"

Liang Yuan peeled open the pig's head, revealing the skull inside.

But I saw that the skull was covered with strange red lines.

When Ding Yan saw this, she immediately realized what was happening and said in surprise, "Fire attribute rune!"

A fire rune was born in the body of this red-haired pig!
She also listened to military broadcasts and naturally knew of the existence of runes, so she recognized it at the first opportunity.

Liang Yuan also laughed: "It's really an unexpected gain, here you go."

He handed the rune to Ding Yan.

Ding Yan immediately shook her head: "The military broadcast said that Rune's spiritual power must reach 25 points or more before you have the opportunity to learn to replicate it. Your spiritual power is definitely higher than mine, so you take it."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "That's true, but your mental strength is almost at 25 points."

Ding Yan said: "I don't know either."

"Then leave it with me first. I'll study it and return it to you when I've thoroughly studied it."

Ding Yan smiled and said indifferently: "Just stay with me for one night, and I'll give it to you."

Liang Yuan was stunned.

She burst into laughter.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, saying: "Don't take it lightly. These runes are actually likely to represent the skills of the mutant beasts when they were alive."

"If you can master it, it's like you have one more skill."

"This red-haired pig can spit fire, and the temperature of the flame is not low. I saw it chasing you just now, and the flames on its four hooves burst out, and it seemed to be able to accelerate instantly."

"Even the flames that spew out of its nostrils are also very lethal."

"If you master this ability, combined with your empowerment, you might be able to tap into new skills."

Hearing this, Ding Yan frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that simple. Even if my mental strength is up to standard and I can master this kind of rune, I don't have the fire attribute ability. How can I inspire a flame?"

Liang Yuan was stunned when he heard this and suddenly remembered this question.

At that time, Wu Meng seemed to have relied on the method of using Qi and blood to simulate the Explosive Talisman, allowing the Qi and blood to produce the same explosive skills as the Explosive Talisman.

However, this ability also causes considerable damage to his body. If it weren't for the special feature of his [Flesh and Blood Growth] ability, which allows him to quickly restore his flesh and blood, he wouldn't be able to do this.

But...why can I do it?
"Wait a minute, I don't rely on the energy and blood to form runes in my body."

"The Stone Armor Rune was simulated in my body based on my evolutionary abilities, and I naturally mastered the Stone Armor."

"As for the Earth Escape Skill, it was directly instilled into my consciousness by the system, allowing me to master it naturally."

"How could I have overlooked the fact that I don't actually have any earth attribute abilities?"

"Logically, how can one master earth-attributed skills without earth-attributed abilities?"

Liang Yuan became puzzled, and then he thought of something.

"Wait, I used my evolutionary ability to activate my earth attribute skills, and instinctively placed the start and end points of the rune on the liver."

"And it was after my evolutionary ability was circulated through my liver that the earth attribute characteristics were produced!"

"Could it be that the various attributes of supernatural powers are actually related to the five internal organs of the human body?"

Liang Yuan was surprised and he immediately told Ding Yan his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan also looked thoughtful.

"In our country's traditional Chinese medicine theory, there is indeed a distinction between the five elements of the human body. In the past, no one took it seriously, thinking it was just nonsense and something mysterious."

"But now that superpowers have appeared, this kind of thing is really hard to explain."

"The spleen is indeed earth in the human body's five elements, so your situation can be related to it."

“But I don’t think that’s the whole reason.”

Liang Yuan asked: "What other reasons are there?"

"I think it has something to do with supernatural powers."

"For example, my supernatural powers are actually the result of the selective expression of genes deep inside my body."

"In fact, there are countless gene fragments in my body. Randomly arranged and combined, countless abilities may appear."

"But what was finally presented was empowerment." "This aspect has a lot to do with what I thought when I awakened."

"Secondly, it may be that the genes in my body that are most likely to show up are the most likely to show up."

"Perhaps the earth attribute gene in your body is also relatively developed. It is easy to be stimulated at the shallow level of the gene, so it is so easy for you to master it."

Liang Yuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

He had a new theory.

"Perhaps it's not because my earth attribute gene is easy to express, but because my ability is [Evolution]..."

"The ability of [Evolution] allows my body to constantly adapt to changes in the environment, change its structure, and provide the best solution to the current problem."

"In fact, it is very likely that it is because of the activation of the [Evolution] ability that my earth attribute genes emerged from the vast ocean of gene fragments and then formed skills."

"In addition, the powerful basic attributes given to me by the system also strengthened the genetic strength in my body, making the genes manifested in my body sufficient to support me in activating related skills."

"Suppose I have very few earth attribute gene fragments in my body, but because of the evolutionary ability, these genes surface and appear. However, if the gene fragments are not enough, I will not be able to show the powerful attribute ability."

"However, the system has strengthened my various attributes, so that even these rare gene fragments of mine have enough potential to release attribute power and help me master those attribute skills."

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered: "Among the four major attributes of the human body, the one that can do this should be...physique attribute!"

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that physical attribute is a comprehensive attribute that is related to recovery, defense, endurance and so on.

Now Liang Yuan guessed that physical attributes were probably related to the strength of the genes in the body!
The stronger the physique, the stronger all the genes.

It is a comprehensive attribute that can be reflected in all aspects.

Looking at all of my attributes, except for mental strength, my physical attribute is the strongest.

Is it possible that it is because of his strong physique and the special nature of his evolutionary abilities that he is able to comprehend and display abilities with completely different attributes?

"Strictly speaking, Wu Meng's [Flesh Growth] is also a physical ability!"

"It is precisely because of his strong physique that he was able to tap into the three forms of flesh and blood, which continuously strengthened his body, making his strength and agility extremely terrifying."

"And the reason why he couldn't use the Explosion Talisman and throw a Fire Fist is not because he didn't master it, but because he didn't have enough fire genes in his body. Those fire genes were covered up by countless genes and couldn't surface and express themselves in the ocean of human genes."

"Because he doesn't have the ability to evolve like me, he can't adjust his genetic changes to adapt to various environments!"

Liang Yuan's eyes became brighter.

He suddenly discovered that his [Evolution] ability was not useless, but a very powerful auxiliary ability!

With the system, it is a perfect match!

The system is responsible for strengthening its own basic attributes.

The evolutionary ability is like a central controller, adjusting one's body's adaptability in any environment and attacking with the strongest posture!
Liang Yuan was excited, he never expected that by some mistake, when he wanted to awaken a power that could adapt to the underwater environment, what he awakened was not the ability to control water, but the ability to evolve.

He felt it was a bit of a rip-off at the time, but because of the existence of the system, he didn't care too much.

He even let this ability gather dust for a while, and did not take the time to deeply understand and explore his own ability.

However, as they came into contact with more and more people with special abilities, especially combat geniuses like Wu Meng, they explored their abilities to a deeper level and evolved all kinds of extraordinary abilities.

This woke Liang Yuan up and he realized that he had never really understood his own special abilities.

Since then, he has been paying attention to his own superpowers and exploring his abilities.

Now that I think about it, my abilities are so compatible with my system!
Liang Yuan sighed, then looked at Ding Yan and said, "What you said makes sense, but your empowerment is also very special. Perhaps you can try more directions."

Ding Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I will."

The red-haired pork had already been cut up. Liang Yuan picked it up and said, "Let's go and take this red-haired pork back. Those newcomers probably have a lot of good stuff in their hands. Maybe we can trade with them."

"New here?" Ding Yan looked at Liang Yuan in confusion.

Liang Yuan told her about Han Xiangman and her group.

Hearing this, Ding Yan couldn't help but say happily, "They came just in time. We are short of manpower right now. The arrival of these people will add a lot of manpower to us. How many superpowers do they have?"

Liang Yuan shook his head: "It's not clear yet. I saw five or six people. Except for a middle-aged man named Ge, all the others have been poisoned by the giant bone-spear spider."

"Giant Bone Spear Spider? Have you encountered a Giant Bone Spear Spider?"

"Ah."

"So are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but I find it ridiculous that we are fighting each other in Yangshan."

"In front of the truly top-level mutant beasts, we are so insignificant."

"Just being stared at by that giant bone-spear spider would intimidate an average person so much that their body would become stiff and unable to move."

"Not to mention that it has various other means."

Liang Yuan described his battle with the giant bone spear spider, and Ding Yan looked solemn after hearing it.

"On the road of life evolution, we humans are no longer uniquely privileged."

"A giant bone-spear spider is so powerful. I wonder how many terrifying mutant beasts exist in the vast flood. No wonder countries are unable to effectively organize their armies to carry out rescue operations."

Liang Yuan also sighed and said, "Let's first find a way to gain a foothold in Yangshan. Let's not think about rescue or anything like that."

"We now occupy the mine. Although we have occupied the energy stone resources, it is also a big trouble."

"What's wrong?" Ding Yan asked.

"The other three shelters are probably targeting us. Wuwang Pavilion sent someone here yesterday."

He mentioned that Yuan Rui came on behalf of Wu Wangting to discuss cooperation.

After hearing this, Ding Yan couldn't help but show a cold expression on her face and said, "I know that without strength, all the so-called alliances are castles in the air."

"Wu Meng keeps saying there should be no internal fighting and that we should all unite. He can say nice things, but when it comes to interests, he will be tempted."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It's normal that people are moved by interests. Wu Wangting should at least have some dignity and come to discuss cooperation. Although the price is too high, it is at least a greeting."

"I'm afraid Phoenix Temple and Meihai Garden are not that simple."

Ding Yan sneered and said, "Then beat them until they surrender!"

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "That's right, only if we beat them and scare them, will they behave themselves!"

Ding Yan also laughed. Her strength had greatly increased and she was now full of fighting spirit.

But she was still worried about the others and asked, "Are you sure? If the three of them join forces, we will be at a great disadvantage."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "After the tide, Yangshan will only be ruled by one person!"

"That person is me!"

He was not bragging, all of his attributes had skyrocketed, and the tide had not ended yet, so he could continue to gain points.

When the time comes, there will be a crazy lottery. Who in Yangshan can be his rival?

Ding Yan liked his confident look and couldn't help but smile: "That's good."

The two returned to the mine together, and Yang Shenmin arranged for the miners to patrol and guard.

Because it is deep in the mine, it is basically safe here.

All the mine passages leading to this huge underground cave have been blocked and guarded.

Liang Yuan brought Ding Yan back, and everyone was excited when they saw them carrying pork.

The miners had purchased pangolin meat from Liang Yuan before.

But the mutant pangolin's meat was soon divided up by the miners.

In fact, many people didn’t buy much because they were short of money.

But those who have tasted the meat will become even more greedy.

"Mr. Liang, are you selling this pork?"

"Mr. Liang, can I exchange this pork for the supernatural stone?"

"Mr. Liang, after you left last time, we took the time to dig some more. Can we exchange it for some meat?"

……

Everyone was talking at once and gathered around to ask questions.

Liang Yuan said: "Exchange, as long as there is a supernatural stone, exchange it."

He looked at Ding Yan again, handed her an electronic scale, and said, "Leave this to you. I'll go find Doctor Yang."

Ding Yan nodded and shouted to the miners, "If you want to exchange meat, come to me."

Liang Yuan found Yang Shenmin and asked, "How are these people?"

Yang Shenmin stood up from beside an injured person lying on the ground and said, "It's not a big problem. Most people can move their fingers a little and can speak."

Liang Yuan looked around and saw Uncle Ge standing next to Han Xiangman.

Han Xiangman was able to sit up now.

Liang Yuan walked over and said with a smile: "Miss Han, how are you?"

Han Xiangman stood up, looked at Liang Yuan with her beautiful eyes, and said solemnly: "I am much better now. Thank you, Mr. Liang Yuan. If it weren't for you, we would really be finished this time."
