Chapter 79: Chapter 66: Extracting the Evolution Agent, Purity Evolution!
"Sorry, I just want to survive first."
As he spoke, a notification appeared in his peripheral vision:
"Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat lv11, Red Quality"
"Level 11 Evolutionary Meat, rich in source material, possesses strong biological activity. It can be consumed or filtered to absorb life source material, achieving tier jump evolution, enhancing physique and spirit attributes; this evolutionary meat is filled with alien evolution genes, causing gene pollution to enhanced life forms, easily triggering unknown mutation outcomes."
"Note: Pure evolutionary source material can be extracted using the Purification Extraction Filter to achieve purity evolution."
Seeing the attribute data provided by the system, and the final cautionary note, Lin Feng immediately rejected Lisa’s proposal.
The other party was so persuasive and earnest in advising him not to rely on the Rock-Horned Horse for evolution, probably wanting to recruit him into her Duncan Squad.
Then proceed to the Prehistoric Ruins together to seek the initial evolutionary source material, paving their own path of evolution, breaking free from the shackles of other methods.
But Lin Feng possesses an item upgrade system, and simply obtaining evolutionary meat would allow him to extract pure source material.
There’s no need to take risks going to the Prehistoric Ruins.
Moreover, the threats currently facing the squad leave Lin Feng with no other choice.
He couldn’t abandon the squad or lead them into the perilous ruins to adventure.
Finding a way to get through the current crisis and survive first is necessary before considering future matters.
After Lin Feng rejected her, Lisa wanted to persuade him further, but seeing the man in front of her already getting up and walking towards the back compartment of the tram to open the door and take out a long cylindrical Purification Extraction Filter, she held back.
At this time, Liu Qian spoke up:
"We have simultaneously offended Nongzhuang Village and a powerful seasoned evolver, it’s unlikely we’ll obtain the clean source material you’re talking about."
"Thanks for Miss Lisa’s good intentions, but we are currently somewhat helpless, only by Captain Lin becoming strong first can we ensure the safety of the squad."
Hearing Liu Qian’s detailed explanation, Lisa swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Realizing the other party’s determination, she nodded regretfully to express her understanding, then turned and left.
This is how it is in the Wasteland World; for the struggling Deserters at the bottom, the choices they have are not many.
Even if the chosen path is a dead end, as long as one can overcome the mountains weighing on them now, that’s enough.
As for the future, they will consider it in the future.
Watching Lisa’s figure fade away, Lin Feng looked down at the Purification Extraction Filter in his hand.
Since the last upgrade when purchased, it has been upgraded to Level 8:
"Purification Extraction Filter lv8, White Quality"
"Basic Attributes: Filtration Degree 95%; Usable Times 1; Can consume one point of life value for upgrading"
"Note: This device contains a trace amount of Holy Spring Cells, which are active agents for filtration and adsorption. The filtered evolutionary source material, after consumption, will leave a gene mark in the body. Currently, after purification and upgrade, the Holy Spring Gene Fragments have been erased."
"Evaluation: An ordinary Alien Gene Filter, but the 5% residual alien genes after filtration still affect the consumer; it is recommended to upgrade and use again; can consume one point of life value to refresh its usage times."
The Level 7 Filter at purchase could only filter 90% of alien gene impurities, now upgraded to Level 8, raising it to 95%.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the next stage will be able to filter 100% of gene impurities.
So Lin Feng directly consumed one point of life value to continue strengthening and upgrading the filter.
After a few minutes, the upgrade was completed:
"Purification Extraction Filter lv9, White Quality"
"Basic Attributes: Filtration Degree 100%; Usable Times 1; Has reached host level limit"
"Evaluation: A high-quality Alien Gene Filter that can completely filter out Tier One alien gene impurities, the filtered pure evolutionary source material has no side effects on the consumer; can consume one point of life value to refresh its usage times."
After ensuring that all alien genes could be filtered, Lin Feng began extracting the evolution liquid.
He cut the still-pulsating large horse heart and two twitching loin strips into strips, then placed them into the extraction tube of the Purification Extraction Filter.
The filter is a white cylindrical tube as thick as a calf, with the top 30 cm being the extraction space, and the lower 20 cm being the filtration extraction device, composed of multiple layers of activated carbon and nanometer-grade biomembrane screens.
Activated carbon filters large molecular impurities, while biomembranes intercept alien gene fragments.
Ensuring the purity of the evolutionary source material this way.
In fact, the latter technology didn’t originally exist and appeared after the upgrade.
And the extraction operation is simple as well, first using a pusher tube to mash the evolutionary meat into paste, then pulling on a rotating cord outside the extraction tube to strip the cell fluids from the meat paste through manual high-speed centrifugal force.
This fluid flows into the lower filtration layer, accumulating over time, eventually extracting evolutionary source material.
The whole process isn’t complicated.
Just rather cumbersome.
A horse heart alone weighs 20 kilograms, and the two 3-meter-long, over ten centimeters thick loins weigh 100 kilograms.
Lin Feng spent more than an hour, switching from his right hand to his left hand when tired, finally filtering and extracting from over 200 pounds of enhanced meat about one small box of light white liquid.
A peculiar aroma wafted from the evolution liquid.
Its attributes appeared in his peripheral vision:
"Tier One Purity Evolution Liquid lv11, Red Quality"
"Contains 200 milliliters of evolution liquid rich in life source material; after consumption, it can allow a Level 10 evolver to evolve to Level 11, or be divided into two portions, enabling two Level 9 Enhanced Persons to perform tier jump evolution, becoming Level 10 evolvers."
Unexpectedly, killing the Level 11 Female Rock-Horned Horse brought such a pleasant surprise.
Allowing the squad two opportunities for tier jump evolution!
Lin Feng removed his mask and gloves, cautiously pouring the evolution liquid from the box into two small tubes, then walked into the tram.
Chen Shanshan, who had been in the tram all this time, had already put on her upper body battle armor when Lisa came earlier, preparing to help immediately if needed.
Now, as an evolver, she naturally heard Lisa’s persuasion; seeing Lin Feng intending to consume the evolution liquid on the spot to evolve, she worriedly said:
"Wouldn’t it be safer to return to Holy Spring Village and ask Father Su An for help? After all, they are professionals, directly transforming in the wild environment..."
Lin Feng lowered the second-row seat backrest, lying on this seat bed, and responded:
"Don’t forget my ability, those impurities’ effects just need a bit of optimization."
"As for safety, aren’t you here? Just wear the battle armor and watch over me."
"Come on, help me secure it."
After consuming over ten pounds of Level 9 Wolf Dried Meat, Lin Feng lay on the flat mat, securely tied his limbs to the brackets under the seat with the help of Chen Shanshan and the incoming Ding Yi.
Then he ingested one of the 100-milliliter evolution liquid tubes, starting the tier jump evolution.
Drinking the evolution liquid filled with life source material, Lin Feng only felt a warm current explode in his mouth, penetrating the cell membrane into the cells during its path down his throat.
It deconstructed and restructured the ordinary cells.
Like eating ghost pepper, Lin Feng felt like a grenade exploded inside him, every cell and tissue fragmenting and reconstructing.
Life source material infiltrated the cell nucleus, altering the base pair arrangements in his DNA, discarding useless gene expressions, enhancing sequences related to physique and spirit attributes, and strengthening their characteristics.
Certain reshaped gene fragments would further unlock some of the innate qualities that the consumer possessed.
At this moment inside Lin Feng, a special imprint was forming, his imprint ability fully awakening.
After biting into the towel in his mouth and eventually fainting, his consciousness entered the spirit world.
While nearby, Liu Qian spoke with the help of Ding Yi to ensure Lin Feng could complete his evolution smoothly, while remaining on guard against the Duncan Squad a hundred meters away.
