Chapter 47: Chapter 46: As an Evolver, Chen Shanshan’s Superpower

Upon completing Tier One Evolution, the memories of the Evolver will gradually restore, recalling the details of past experiences.

“I…”

Chen Shanshan was momentarily stunned, then fell into reminiscence.

A moment later, she spoke with a slightly confused look in her eyes:

“I remembered, on the day we entered the underground shelter, because the quota for each batch was limited, my parents worried we wouldn’t get in later, so they pushed me forward to squeeze in first.”

“Left themselves behind to wait for the next batch…”

“I can’t quite remember their faces, but the scene where they lifted me up and sent me in before the shelter’s door closed is deeply etched in my mind.”

Lin Feng nodded. From Chen Shanshan’s memory, it could also corroborate from a different angle that the Wandering Earth plan did happen back then, but surely something went wrong later.

Seeing Chen Shanshan still trapped in her memories, Lin Feng patted her shoulder reassuringly:

“I’m sure your parents are fine! When we pass by the shelter where you woke up, we’ll go down together to look for clues.”

Chen Shanshan nodded and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes.

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that the once hideous scar on the lower half of her face, covered with coarse cloth, had faded significantly, leaving only a shallow white mark.

Chen Shanshan’s height had also increased by two or three centimeters.

Finally, she was close to one meter sixty tall.

The benefits of Evolution manifest in many ways.

The girl whom Lin Feng was staring at felt a bit embarrassed, lowered her head to check her watch, and found that it was already five in the afternoon, hurriedly said:

“It’s so late, I hope Ding Yi’s group is okay?”

Lin Feng smiled, got up, and prepared to leave:

“Everything’s solved, so let’s go!”

“Don’t worry too much. Even if the people from Nongzhuang Village are eager for revenge, they can’t act openly in the village. It would be a slap in the face to the Fifth Village and the Hunting Wilderness Guild. A mere external supervisor doesn’t have that qualification.”

It’s an iron rule in Oasis Town that no one is allowed to attack others in the village, otherwise, the electric team wouldn’t wait until everyone left the Fifth Village to take action.

Chen Shanshan nodded and then followed Lin Feng.

They mounted the tricycle and prepared to leave.

Before setting off, Lin Feng called out to Ah Lian beside him:

“Rest tonight and discuss amongst yourselves whether to stay or leave. Anyway, our team welcomes you at any time. With Father Su An’s personal promise, the Hunting Wilderness Team being formed will soon see more Evolvers born…”

“Opportunities are rare; seize them well.”

“See you at the guild early tomorrow morning!”

With that, they rode the armored tricycle, heading back, and left Holy Spring Village.

The electric car team at the village entrance indeed left.

As the most powerful force in Oasis Town, the Holy Spring Sect’s energy radiated across the five villages below, with Father Su An being the most influential figure among the lower class citizens.

A single word from him was more effective than from the Evolvers.

They traveled back in reverse to the last of the Fifth Villages.

After a series of twists and turns, they returned safely to the camp, hanging the tricycle at the back of the bus.

Upon seeing Chen Shanshan return safely, Ding Yi excitedly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

“I was so worried about you!”

Lin Feng handed the remaining dehydrated and dried wolf leg meat to Ding Yi and Liu Qian.

He helped them continue to upgrade and enhance themselves.

Now that Chen Shanshan, an Evolver, was present, the group was about to form a specialized Desert Hunting Team, and the strength of its members naturally had to be enhanced so that no one would fall behind.

After the two women each took a kilogram of dried wolf leg meat, sixty pounds of wolf leg meat in total, fifty-four pounds were left. Chen Shanshan had also eaten a kilogram before.

When Old Huang approached and noticed the change in Chen Shanshan’s state, he immediately realized something, his lips trembled slightly:

“You… you…”

Chen Shanshan smiled faintly, took out a kilogram of dried wolf leg meat from the compartment, and handed it over:

“Thanks for your care before!”

“I’ll be staying a few more days.”

Old Huang looked at the hefty piece of wolf meat in his hand.

The energy emanating from the meat was very tempting.

Even though he had been a Level 9 Enhanced Person for many years, since retiring, he rarely ate Level 9 Enhanced Meat; over time, his Physique declined significantly, making it hard to exert his peak strength.

This piece of Level 9 Enhanced Meat could at least partially restore his strength, letting Old Huang live a few more years.

Although Late-stage Enhanced People originally had a lifespan of two hundred years, very few lived beyond a hundred in the harsh wasteland environment. Coupled with the aftereffects of struggles in their younger years, most died by sixty or seventy.

The permanent residents in the village could only manage to free their legs and scrape by.

Old Huang deeply inhaled the wolf meat’s fragrance, then carefully put away the precious Enhanced Meat instead of tasting it immediately, intending to save it for his son.

In the compartment, Lin Feng, lying on the bed playing with the shotgun spoils, teased:

“I thought Old Huang would call you lord.”

Beside him, Ding Yi, who was cutting dried wolf leg with a dagger, pushed up her glasses and added:

“Sigh… There’s already a pitiful thick barrier between us!”

Although Chen Shanshan only graduated from elementary school and didn’t understand the teasing of the two below her, her instincts told her it wasn’t anything good, so she rolled her eyes:

“Alright, from now on, please call me Lord Chen.”

Lin Feng and the other exchanged a smile:

“Hello, Lord Chen!”

At this moment, Chen Shanshan gradually came to realize the deeper meaning in Lin Feng and Ding Yi’s words, understanding that there might not be another chance, to move into this bus,

so she said with some sadness:

“Old Huang helped me a lot before, and when I was at my lowest, he even took me in for over a month without charge…”

“He’s one of the few friends I had in the village.”

Ding Yi stood up and held the girl’s hand:

“On the journey of life, you will always see different sceneries and meet different people. Learn to move forward and look ahead.”

Lin Feng also comforted and advised her:

“Old Huang led a carefree life and finally achieved a successful landing. In the future, just take care of his son a bit more.”

Chen Shanshan nodded and directed the small electric fan at the head of the bed towards herself.

The annoying buzzing sound didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

In order to change the subject, Lin Feng then brought up Chen Shanshan’s newly awakened superpower.

This was a question he originally wanted to ask at Holy Spring Village, but held back because Ah Lian was present:

“Your new ability, Father Su An said, has a special blinding effect that can shield nearby sight.”

Hearing about the superpower, Chen Shanshan froze for a moment, then excitedly sat cross-legged:

“I heard from Liu Qian that during the evolution process, the first use of the superpower has a special effect, but unfortunately, it seems to be in the state when I completely activated it.”

“It can absorb external light and directly turn the space within a thirty-meter diameter into darkness.”

“But this extreme release consumes a lot of spirit and can only be maintained for less than ten seconds.”

“With normal use, it’s about targeting any area within thirty meters for vision stripping.”

“Do you guys want to try it?”

Ding Yi was a bit scared, as she hadn’t seen an Evolver use a superpower yet.

Lin Feng stuck his head out from the lower bunk:

“I’ll give it a try.”

Chen Shanshan immediately looked down at Lin Feng, her pupils constricting sharply.

The next moment, Lin Feng’s vision was like a switch had been flipped off; the view in front of him instantly plunged into darkness.

Even rubbing his eyes didn’t help.

This stripping of light wasn’t superficial but directly blocked the pupils’ perception of light.

Even when Lin Feng pulled his head back and looked out the window, it was still incredibly dark.

Without light hitting the lens, naturally, there could be no imaging.

The blinding effect lasted almost a minute until Chen Shanshan snapped her fingers, actively lifting it.

The girl then excitedly said:

“How is it? Couldn’t see anything, right?”

Lin Feng nodded, recalling Su An’s evaluation:

“Yes, it directly shields vision.”

“This auxiliary ability is extremely useful, with a high potential for growth and development. It’s well-suited for you to engage in close combat while carrying a gun, unexpectedly interfering with the enemy in the moment of engagement.”

“You’ll need to train to blind multiple targets simultaneously in the future and extend the usage time and range of the superpower.”

Chen Shanshan nodded and recalled something else:

“Did Father Su An have any other instructions later on? Didn’t he call you alone to the office?”

Lin Feng made a sound of acknowledgment, his expression gradually turning serious:

“After the next Holy Spring Day, a relic will pass by Oasis Town, and by then, the Priest will have a task that requires us to complete.”

“As for now, we need to first assemble our Desert Hunting Team, then go hunt a Tier One Desolate Beast, gather equipment, and quickly increase the number of Evolvers in the team.”

Saying this, Lin Feng looked at the shotgun in his hand.

The two shotguns were being upgraded, one for Chen Shanshan to enhance firepower, the other left for Ding Yi for self-defense.

As for his own branded equipment, the Level 8 Wolf Fang Handgun…

Lin Feng plans to unlock permissions using Chen Shanshan’s Evolver status when they go to the Hunting Wilderness Guild tomorrow, purchase firearm parts, and proceed with upgrades and enhancements.

To compensate for the shortcoming in aiming accuracy.

After eating some wolf meat, Lin Feng stretched and comfortably lay on the bed:

“This wolf hunting operation has exhausted everyone.”

“Let’s have a good sleep and set out early tomorrow.”

“Establish the Desert Hunting Team, and purchase a vehicle, a battle wagon of our own!”
