The Demon King's Evolution

This prompt startled Lin Shi so much that he jumped out of bed directly.

Within two meters?!

Wasn't that right in his own room?!

What kind of source beast could break through the shelter's defense and enter his room directly?!

Lin Shi felt his body hairs stand on end in an instant.

But upon looking around, there was no other life form in the room except for himself and the Demon King lying on the carpet.

The Demon King was also awakened by Lin Shi's movements.

One person and one dog stared at each other with wide eyes.

Seeing Lin Shi wake up, the Demon King took the initiative to approach, wagging its tail and rubbing against Lin Shi.

After a while.

Lin Shi finally confirmed that the first-order source beast prompted by the Treasure Pot was the Demon King.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

Upon careful observation, there were no obvious changes in the Demon King's appearance.

It was just that the severe injuries on its body had all scabbed over after a night.

Even the wounds he had sewn up before had basically healed.

With such a recovery rate, as long as he was careful, he would basically recover in a few days.

What a strong self-healing ability!

After the shock came the ecstasy.

"Can I actually become partners with a source beast?"

Lin Shi rarely smiled, showing a mouthful of big white teeth.

He kept touching the Demon King.

The Demon King's pair of heterochromatic eyes seemed to be more spirited, the blue one becoming clearer and more transparent, and the red one becoming more eerie.

After an animal becomes a source beast, its intelligence will also increase.

Lin Shi stretched out two fingers and asked the Demon King:

"How many is this?"

"Wang Wang!"

"How many is this?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"What is the sum of this and this?"

"Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang!"

...

After testing, Lin Shi determined that the Demon King's intelligence was at least equivalent to that of a 10-year-old human.

Perhaps after learning, its intelligence would be even higher.

Lin Shi carefully removed the stitches for the Demon King.

He guessed that the Demon King's hands had already absorbed a lot of source matter before, reaching the critical point of evolution.

That's why it evolved directly after eating the pill he fed it.

After removing the stitches, the Demon King licked Lin Shi.

"Good dog."

Lin Shi reached out and patted the Demon King's head.

As before, the Demon King wagged its tail quickly when it heard Lin Shi praise it.

Becoming a source beast did not affect the Demon King's temperament.

After observing for a whole day, Lin Shi was even more certain of this point.

He had a premonition that the Demon King would be his greatest help in the future, second only to the Treasure Pot.

...

Three days passed.

The snowstorm gave this city, which had never seen snow before, a good taste of what a frozen world was like.

The temperature has already dropped to below minus 30 degrees, and the temperature at night is even lower, reaching minus 50 degrees or more.

Lin Shi had never been to Sha City in his previous life, but he remembered that the temperature in Hai City on the fourth day was below minus 50 degrees, and the lowest at night reached minus 80 degrees.

At this time in the north, the temperature must have dropped to around minus 70 to minus 90 degrees, right?

If Lin Shi were in Hai City in this life, he would find that the temperature in Hai City has now dropped to below minus 60 degrees during the day, and below minus 80 degrees or even minus 90 degrees at night.

And in the north, if someone passed through the north with a thermal imaging instrument, they could see that there are very few living beings still surviving in the north.

There is no sign of life in the cities near the extreme north...

This time, the extreme cold apocalypse is even colder than the last one.

...

In the past few days, Lin Shi has been staying in the safe house, eating and drinking with the demon king, and practicing the health preservation formula.

Outdoors, the temperature is below minus 30 degrees, and indoors, Lin Shi is burning a stove with a temperature of more than 20 degrees above zero.

Other survivors have wrapped all the clothes, curtains, and bed sheets they can wear at home, but they still can't resist the piercing cold.

However, Lin Shi is only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts in the safe house, and when he practices the health preservation formula and sweats profusely, he still needs a cup of freshly squeezed fruit juice cold drink.

Continuous blizzards have made some people who were proud of living in high-rise buildings regret their decision after the blizzard.

The cold wind blows into the room from all corners, and the entire suite is in a mess.

Not only is there no electricity, but the water pipes are also frozen.

Survivors have to use basins, buckets and other containers to melt snow for use.

And after freezing a lot of plastic barrels, they thought of taking out the stainless steel basins at the bottom of the box at home for use.

After the natural gas was cut off, survivors who didn't have gas at home could only eat raw food in despair and wait for rescue.

But here, because Lin Shi sealed the well in advance, and all the water pipes were connected to the safe house from more than a meter deep underground.

Therefore, it was not frozen and could still be used.

And even if the well water was frozen, he installed a stainless steel water tank under the safe house when he built it, which would not affect the domestic water supply.

Lin Shi still enjoys roasting meat, hot pot, and boiled fish every day.

When he is bored, he watches the downloaded dramas and teaches the demon king the nine-year compulsory education curriculum.

Apart from not being able to go out to play and having to shovel snow every day.

It's the same as before the apocalypse.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain are not having a good time.

After escaping from Lin Shi, more than a dozen people were taken away by the mutated wild boar.

The people in the village who didn't go found that in just two or three hours, dozens of people went, and when they came back, they shrank by more than half.

After hearing about what happened on the mountain, and losing the village head as the backbone, the villagers were in chaos.

Some were crying and shouting, some wanted to ask the security personnel for help, and some were ready to take the equipment to the mountain to fight desperately, making a mess.

Then the blizzard came.

Although it is a mountain village, the villagers who have lived in Sha City for decades have no experience in resisting the cold.

The windows of the self-built houses in the village are not as thick as the sound insulation glass in the city.

On the first night, most of the glass in the village shattered under the sudden change in temperature and the blowing of the blizzard.

Fortunately, there are some wood and timber in every household in Wolong Village, and they managed to patch up and get through the night.

However, after one night, one-third of the villagers became sick and had a fever.

And the windows repaired with wood are still leaking air.

Most villagers have to move their beds to rooms without windows or to the first-floor hall.

But better than people in the city, most households in the village use gas cylinders, and many still cook by burning fire.

And every household is also accustomed to keeping candles and flashlights.

Eating and lighting are not a problem.

But as the blizzard has not stopped for several days, many sick villagers can't hold on.

Many old people in the village silently left the world in the howling of the blizzard.

...

On this early morning, people who can still wake up from their sleep find that the blizzard that has been raging for several days has finally stopped.

The long-lost sun has also reappeared in people's sight.
