Ling Cage: Starting with Sharingan, Vatican seeks to breed.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan rushed in and chopped off the snake dog's head with a single stroke.

I sighed in my heart.

This tactic did indeed serve its purpose of reconnaissance, but it was a real hardship for Markmon.

As soon as Lin Yuan appeared, the life essence within his body attracted the attention of the snake-dog pack.

They all rushed towards him.

Lin Yuan had an idea and immediately turned around and ran out of the building to lure them out.

If it were a confined space, I would probably have to be extra careful.

But now that we're in an open area, we'll kill anyone who comes!

[Defeat the Devouring Beast, Source Energy Points +10]

[Slay the Devouring Beast, Source Energy Points...]

[Slaying the Devourer...]

Lin Yuan's long sword pierced through the snake-dog's armor, continuously reaping their lives.

Many snakes and dogs also rushed towards the transport vehicle.

"They're coming!"

Old Dustman 0609 looked panicked, clutching his head and trembling.

"Hey—! These guys are all mine!"

Erica piloted the gravity vehicle, and the Gatling gun continuously emitted flashes of fire, rendering the snake-dogs incapacitated.

Unable to kill the Devouring Beast, she could only leave it for Lin Yuan to finish it off.

Soon, the entire pack of snake dogs was killed.

[Energy Source Points: 426]

“The harvest is pretty good.”

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Although he hadn't found a safe enough place yet and couldn't use a lot of energy points in the short term, he figured he might as well take them.

Mark crawled out of the building, covered in dust and dirt. He gave Lin Yuan a reproachful look.

He seemed to understand.

You little brat, are you using me as a tool?

"Sorry sorry."

Lin Yuan gave an apologetic smile.

Ran Bing went up and touched Mark's face. Although she felt a little sorry for him, a smile appeared on her tired face that she hadn't seen in a long time.

She was actually somewhat grateful to Lin Yuan.

Surviving on the ground and searching for human settlements is extremely dangerous.

Lin Yuan's abilities meant that Mark could be of assistance, which provided an extra layer of security.

I should be happy to be able to contribute to the team.

Moreover, Mark's recent performance gave Ran Bing some hope that he could return to normal.

Mark's complaining expression vanished instantly. He glanced at Lin Yuan, hoping that more of what had just happened would occur.

After confirming that it was safe, they drove the car to the entrance to rest and search for supplies.

Lin Yuan made a large mark near this building, so that anyone who comes here should be able to see it.

Then I found a place, opened the system panel, and prepared to make some purchases.

[Prompt: You can currently consume 200 Source Energy Points to evolve the kinetic energy enhancement. Evolve now?]

Chapter 52 New Changes at Level II: Entering the Ecological Core Area

Half an hour passed.

The energy points dropped to 226, and as the pain subsided, the exhilarating enhancement session came to an end.

[Evolution successful! Kinetic energy enhancement evolution to: Level II!]

Lin Yuan let out a long breath and opened the system panel.

[Life Essence]: 1800 points

[Potential Evolution]: Eyes (Three-Tomoe Sharingan), Brain (Kinetic Enhancement Level II), Bone Marrow (Regenerative Blood Level II)

[Energy Points]: 226 points (can be activated)

The enhancement brought by 200 energy points further boosted Lin Yuan's physical attributes.

Furthermore, the upgrade to level two kinetic energy enhancement also brought about a qualitative change.

The effect of kinetic energy enhancement has been improved.

In a short period of time, he was able to use kinetic energy enhancement twice on the same object.

Lin Yuan picked up a piece of iron and flicked it lightly towards the ruins two hundred meters away.

Without intervention, the iron piece will fall to the ground less than a meter after flying through the air at a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 meters per second.

This distance isn't even as far as Lin Yuan's pee.

Blue light clung to the rotating metal plate, instantly reaching speeds approaching those of a police pistol bullet.

But it's not over yet.

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he used kinetic energy enhancement again!

The metal sheet gained acceleration once again and crashed into the wall of the ruins.

At the moment of impact, the iron sheet shattered, converting its powerful kinetic energy into heat and shockwave.

Suddenly, a sound like an explosion rang out from the ruins.

"Someone fired a shot?!"

Old Chenmin 0609, who was cooking with a self-heating pack, was so startled that his spoon trembled and almost fell to the ground.

Erica and Ran Bing were also startled.

They all picked up weapons.

Only Mark Beast raised its head in confusion and looked at Lin Yuan.

"Huh? What's going on! Human settlements on the ground have attacked?"

Erica said nervously.

During this time, she was both afraid that someone would discover this place, and afraid that no one would discover it.

After all, it's unknown whether the visitor is friend or foe.

"It's nothing, I was just experimenting a bit."

Lin Yuan smiled somewhat awkwardly, pressing his palm down to indicate that nothing had happened.

He didn't expect the commotion to be so big.

Almost scared to death.

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines, and at the same time, some people were puzzled.

Lin Yuan didn't bring a gun, so why did he cause such a commotion?

"Come on, everyone, let's eat."

Old Dustman 0609 smiled as he opened the pot lid, and the aroma of marching rations wafted out.

There's ham, mushrooms, and even braised meat.

Under normal circumstances, people can only survive on compressed food, since it is convenient to eat and carry.

This was something Lin Yuan specifically took before he left.

After all, it's a waste not to eat it; you can't treat yourself badly.

Old Chenmin filled a can of food for everyone.

Except for himself.

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said, "You should have one too, we still have to travel later."

"No, no, no."

Old Dustman 0609 waved his hands repeatedly, pretending not to care, and said with a smile, "My old bones can't eat all this. I'm already very satisfied with compressed biscuits."

However, the saliva he couldn't help swallowing betrayed him.

Since the promulgation of the Three Laws, he had been a mortal for more than 20 years, and dreamed of tasting normal food again.

But you can't eat it.

If resources are scarce, he, the lowest-valued old mortal, will inevitably be abandoned without hesitation if he eats a lot.

Without saying a word, Lin Yuan filled a can for him and said in a serious tone:

"You have to eat it. How can the person who cooked it not eat it? What if you poisoned us?"

"Th-th-this...you've misunderstood, why would I do such a thing..."

Despite saying that, Old Dustman 0609 couldn't help but glance at the canned food, and his right hand reached out on its own.

"However, since you've put it that way, then I... shall accept it."

The old man's mouth watered uncontrollably, and he didn't care that the food was too hot to handle, so he immediately began to eat heartily.

"It smells so good! So this is what it tastes like!"

"I've been eating insect cakes for decades, and I've completely forgotten what ham tastes like!"

"I never expected that after traveling far away, I would be able to live a good life."

Erica smiled at Lin Yuan.

They clearly wanted to get people to eat, but they had to make up that kind of excuse.

That's really a strange personality of hers.

But...it's kind of cute.

Although life at the Lighthouse was more stable, it seemed that only after following Lin Yuan to the ground and being freed from the constraints of the Three Laws did they begin to feel alive.

Mark in the car growled, looking at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression, then at the food in the pot.

The expression on his face seemed to say:

The aroma of the food awakened his memories of being a human being.

"Ahem... The plant cells inside the Devouring Beast allow you to absorb energy through photosynthesis. Until you find a human settlement, just bear with it for now."

Lin Yuan coughed a few times, somewhat embarrassed.

With such a large appetite and a body weighing several hundred kilograms, there's practically no difference between Mark eating a little and not eating at all.

There's no other way but to put Captain Mark through this again.

"Roar......"

Mark turned his head away, somewhat angrily.

They used me as bait today, but they didn't even give me a bite to eat.

"I'm already full, Mark, you can eat."

Ran Bing looked somewhat distressed as she held the jar to Mark Beast's mouth.

In reality, she barely ate any food.

Markmon leaned forward and sniffed, its mouth slightly open.

Suddenly, he glanced at Ran Bing, shook his head, and stepped back, refusing to eat no matter what.

Old Dustman 0609 sighed with some emotion.
