Superbase Evolution

Chapter 13 Basis Change Points

But Lin Shen didn’t quite understand that to complete the first transformation, only one steel-based transformation egg was needed. Even if there were alloy eggs or even crystal-based eggs, they could not be used.

A mutated egg that is too advanced may cause the mutated human to be completely metallized and turned into a lifeless statue.

Mutation is a very magical and dangerous process. Only the right amount of energy can allow humans with flesh and blood to have a foundation of steel. The process is even more bizarre and strange than the complete metamorphosis of a butterfly.

Is it necessary to go to such a dangerous place to risk your life for a steel-based egg? With the strength of the Lin family, there should be no pressure to buy a top-grade steel-based egg.

As if seeing the confusion in Lin Shen's heart, Lao Ye explained, "Generally speaking, the best steel metamorphosis eggs only have one attribute that reaches the full value of 10 points. It is already very rare to have two attributes that reach the full value of 10 points. The Third Master and the Fourth Master want to find you a metamorphosis egg with at least three or even four attributes, so they went to Hulu Mountain."

Lao Ye gave a bitter smile and continued, "If they had known that you, Xiao Wu, had completed the genetic transformation, they wouldn't have had to go to Hulu Mountain."

Lin Shen could tell that Lao Ye was somewhat blaming him. Lao Ye thought that he had become gay, but he did not tell his third and fourth brothers, which caused them to take unnecessary risks.

But Lin Shen had no way to explain how a human without genetic mutation could make a speedster lose the ability to fight back with just one blow?

"How do they know that there are those genetically mutated eggs in Hulu Mountain?" Lin Shen felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"Because Hulu Mountain is actually a base change point." Lao Ye said slowly.

When Lin Shen heard the words "base mutation point", he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in shock: "There is a base mutation point near us?"

More than two hundred years ago, genetically modified organisms appeared all over the world. They were not everywhere at the same time. Instead, there were some special places where genetically modified organisms first appeared, and then slowly radiated to the surrounding areas. The place where the genetically modified organisms first appeared is called the genetic mutation point.

There are not only many mutated creatures near the mutation point, but there may also be some very terrifying advanced mutated creatures.

There was once a base with hundreds of crystal-level mutators who wanted to break into the outer area of a mutation point to plunder resources. As a result, they alarmed an extremely terrifying mutator inside. Not only were all the mutators who went to the mutation point wiped out, but the mutator also flew to a nearby human base and directly destroyed it, causing countless casualties.

Since then, most bases have been built to avoid being located near base change points.

Lin Shen didn't expect that there would be a mutation point near the Xuanniao base, but over the years, he hadn't heard of any terrifying advanced mutation creatures appearing nearby.

"No wonder a person like my second brother would get trapped in this." Lin Shen was a little annoyed. If his third and fourth brothers were really trapped in this because of finding genetically modified eggs for him, he would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of his life.

"Lao Ye, do you know the location of Hulu Mountain?" Lin Shen asked.

"Brother Xiaowu, don't ask this. There is no way I will let you go to Hulu Mountain. Even if the Third Master and the Fourth Master are dead, they would not want you to take risks." Lao Ye immediately shook his head.

"Then send someone to Hulu Mountain to check out the situation." Lin Shen murmured.

"No, Third Master and Fourth Master would rather take risks themselves in order to keep the secret of Hulu Mountain. If we send people over now, and the secret of Hulu Mountain is exposed, all the efforts of Third Master and Fourth Master will be in vain." Lao Ye once again rejected Lin Shen's proposal.

"Lao Ye, since the name of Hulu Mountain was given by my second brother and no outsiders know about it, why does Concubine Bai know the name Hulu Mountain?" After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen suddenly looked up at Lao Ye and asked.

Lao Ye said in a deep voice: "That's what I wanted to say. The Fourth Master shouldn't spread the news about Hulu Mountain. Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer were not right today. They seemed very sure that the Fourth Master was not at the base, otherwise they wouldn't have been so blatant in testing him over and over again."

"What do you mean?" Lin Shen pondered and did not continue.

"There may be a traitor among us." Lao Ye's face was gloomy.

"How many people know that fourth brother followed third brother to Hulu Mountain?" Lin Shen asked.

"Except for me, no one knows that the Third Master and the Fourth Master went to Hulu Mountain. The only ones who know that the Fourth Master went out are those four guys. There are quite a few people who can guess that the Fourth Master might have gone out." Lao Ye said thoughtfully.

The four guys that Lao Ye mentioned were the four people that Lin Xiangdong trusted the most besides Lao Ye, and they were all alloy-based transmuters. "Lao Ye, who among those four do you think might be a traitor?" Lin Shen also knew those four people. They were all Lin Xiangdong's confidants, and had been with Lin Xiangdong through thick and thin for so many years. They had a life-and-death friendship, and they had also made enemies with the people of the Qi Wang and the Wang family. It seemed unlikely that they were traitors.

"They have followed the Fourth Master for so many years. The Fourth Master has saved their lives, and they have also saved the Fourth Master's life. I really can't believe that there are traitors among them. Moreover, they have followed the Fourth Master for so many years and have done many things that offended the Qi and Wang families. It is really hard to believe that they would defect to those two families."

“That’s what’s scary.” Lin Shen sighed, “Old Ye, you’re the only one I can trust now.”

"Brother Xiaowu, don't worry. I will definitely find the traitor. If it is really one of these four people, I will dig out their hearts with my own hands to see if they are black." Lao Ye said viciously.

"Investigate privately, don't make a big fuss. Even if you find out, don't act rashly. Wait until the third and fourth brothers come back." Lin Shen said.

"What if... I mean what if... What if the Fourth Master and the Third Master are really trapped and can't come back?"

"No matter what happens, they will definitely come back."

"Yes, the Third Master and the Fourth Master are both extraordinary people. They have experienced all kinds of storms and waves. This time, they will definitely come back safely, just like before." Lao Ye paused and said, "Fortunately, you, Xiaowu brother, are already an alloy-based transformer. With you here, the Lin family still has a backbone. Even if the Third Master and the Fourth Master really have an accident, I will risk my life to help you protect the Lin family's property."

Lin Shen glanced at Lao Ye and nodded, "Lao Ye, it all depends on you. Help me find the traitor first."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiaowu, I'll go check it out right away." Lao Ye said and walked out.

After watching Lao Ye leave, Lin Shen took off the mask on his face, frowned and muttered to himself: "This Lao Ye has tried to provoke me to go to Hulu Mountain for rescue several times. I hope I am overthinking it."

Lin Shen naturally wanted to go to Hulu Mountain, but he really didn't have the strength to do so, and going there would be just giving away his life.

Although acupoint pressing is very powerful, one must have the ability to hit the opponent at close range, and the Seven-Step Weapon is only effective when the opponent is using a gun. Only a few genetically modified creatures can use guns, so if he goes there, he will be committing suicide.

"If you want to help, you must first stop being a burden." Lin Shenshen thought for a moment, quickly left Lin Xiangdong's residence and returned to his own residence.

After returning to his residence, Lin Shen came to the incubation chamber, looking at the three genetically modified eggs inside and pondering about something.

"In just over a day, the steel-tailed scorpion should be able to hatch. Let's see the situation first and then make a decision." Lin Shen felt that the properties of these basic evolutionary eggs with super-basic evolutionary sparks should be extraordinary.

If the attributes of the Steel-Tailed Scorpion are off the charts after it hatches, he will directly use the genetic transformation eggs of the Black Iron Swallow or the Hundred-Refined Steel Beast to complete the genetic transformation.

"What kind of existence is the super-basic evolutionary fire?" Lin Shen couldn't help but think of Concubine Bai again.

It is really incredible that Bai Shenfei, a human being, actually has the super-basic evolutionary fire in her body.

Lin Shen really wanted to obtain the fire from Concubine Bai. If that fire had extraordinary powers, he would have more capital to go to Hulu Mountain.

But until now Lin Shen still didn't understand how the fire was transferred to him.

In actual operation, as long as he sleeps with a genetically modified egg that has fire, he can gain the ability of fire.

The problem is that Concubine Bai is a person, and a woman at that. He can't let a woman he just met once sleep with him, right?

If spending money could solve the problem, Lin Shen would now be willing to use his own small treasury to exchange for Concubine Bai to sleep with him, but this was obviously not very realistic.

"So you are the Lin Shen, the younger brother of the Lin family who is often mentioned by Senior Brother Lin and is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun." A woman's voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Shen.

Lin Shen turned around and saw a human-shaped mosaic sitting on his sofa. It couldn't be anyone else except Concubine Bai.
