Luo Yuan felt helpless and couldn't help but quicken his pace. When he walked into the room, he immediately closed the door before the mutants could take the opportunity to enter.

The mutant outside the door was caught off guard and lightly bumped his head, hissing angrily. It seemed that he still couldn't forgive his hatred. He showed his sharp claws and scratched the door in retaliation. Several lines suddenly appeared on it. Deep scratches.

But Luo Yuan didn't care. In fact, in addition to this new scratch, the door was already scarred. There were abstract patterns everywhere like being scratched by "wild cats". One more and one less made no difference at all. .

Perhaps it is because mutants have an unforgettable fear of large creatures. Since Luo Yuan's size increased due to the deepening of the fourth dimension, for a considerable period of time, the mutants' attitude towards Luo Yuan has become a lot stranger, and they no longer look like him. I used to be so morbidly dependent that I started to develop the habit of sleeping in my own bedroom every night.

However, the good times did not last long. As time went by, after the mutant gradually adapted to Luo Yuan's new image, she began to relapse into her old ways, and began to try to enter his bedroom late at night.

But Luo Yuan didn't want to destroy the independence he had finally developed with great difficulty.

Except for one time, she accidentally broke into Luo Yuan's bedroom and let him sleep for a night. After that, he would lock the door every night. No matter how dissatisfied she scratched the door or screamed, Luo Yuan turned a deaf ear and repeatedly After repeated attempts, she had no choice but to give up.

In fact, how could such a door stop her? Since she started taking the eighth-level energy crystal core, her strength has been growing continuously. Compared with when she first came here, she is no longer what she used to be.

According to the system's evaluation, she is already a level seven advanced being. In terms of strength, even members of the special operations team (former members of the Swordsman) would find it difficult to compete with her.

In fact, what really stopped her was not the door, but Luo Yuan's attitude!

After being in contact with humans for a long time, this mutant, who was originally a human, has gradually begun to lose his wild nature, become more and more humane, and even began to reverse evolution.

Taking energy crystals for a long time did not cause her to undergo major mutations. In some aspects, she even became weakened.

For example, her scales are becoming smaller and smaller, the texture is also softening, and her defense is weakening. At the same time, the color of her scales is gradually fading and starting to develop towards a white jade color. In the wild, this color is undoubtedly a bit conspicuous. This is obviously not in line with the principles of eschatological evolution.

Luo Yuan once guessed that this was caused by a stable life and being in a human environment.

The huge difference between her and humans made her subconsciously feel uneasy and uncoordinated. Therefore, in the process of evolution, she began to autonomously imitate humans and evolve. To a certain extent, this is undoubtedly a protective color in another sense. .

… …

Luo Yuan walked to the weapon room. He was two meters tall. He stretched his hand slightly and reached the top of the cabinet. When he retracted his hand, there was an iron ball the size of a fist in his hand.

Among them, the eighth-level energy crystal core was sealed inside this round iron ball.

The reason for such tight protection is naturally not to make a fuss out of a molehill.

On the one hand, it is to isolate the energy crystal from the air and maintain a dry environment. The energy crystal core looks like a crystal, but it is actually very soluble in water. If it is left in the air, it will quickly become moist, melt, and accelerate the energy. of loss.

On the other hand, it is naturally to prevent mutants from following the smell and finding the crystal nucleus.

The breath of this eighth-level crystal is an unspeakable temptation for any living creature. This is the strong demand of life instinct for evolution. Even Luo Yuan, when he encountered this energy crystal core for the first time, Have been tempted.

Of course, it has no impact on him now. His body is generating huge energy every moment, so much so that the energy crystal core belonging to him in his heart has gradually grown to the size of a table tennis ball, which is larger than his body. All the crystal nuclei on the hand are several times larger in total, and even the blood circulation is slightly affected by this.

If the function of his heart had not been weakened to the point where it was almost useless, he would have had to tear open his chest and perform an energy crystal core removal surgery on himself.

Luo Yuan gently drew a circle along the iron ball with his nails. His nails were obviously much harder than metal. As the nails slid over, countless sparks suddenly burst out from the surface of the iron ball.

He blew away the iron filings, and a scratch about two to three millimeters deep suddenly appeared on the surface of the iron ball.

"That's it!" he thought to himself.

He held the iron ball with both hands and twisted his palms in opposite directions without using much force. Of course, he did not dare to use too much force to avoid accidentally crushing the hollow iron ball.

There was a harsh "squeaking" sound in the weapons room, and the scratches began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within a few seconds, the iron ball was twisted open, just like an ordinary person twisting open a tomato.

There are two complete crystals and a transparent flake inside.

This hollow iron ball is not thin, with a thickness of 20mm, but for Luo Yuan's power of 500 tons, it makes no difference whether it is 20mm or 2mm.

"The amount of this slice can only be used once."

After taking out the thin slice, he closed the iron ball that was twisted into two halves. Then, he pressed it lightly and kneaded it with both hands. He moved gently and carefully. In the process, a scorching high temperature came from the palm of his hand. Radiate out.

After a while, he stopped.

Luo Yuan took a look and nodded with satisfaction. The iron ball that was originally divided into two halves has been re-glued together. It is bright red and has no burrs on the surface. If you ignore some flaws such as fingerprints, it looks perfectly round.

Luo Yuan walked to the bathroom, cooled the iron ball with tap water, and then placed it on the top of the cabinet again.

As soon as he walked out of the door, the mutant couldn't wait to pounce on him, grabbing his trouser legs tightly, and his whole body became excited.

"Go away, don't let me walk anymore!" Luo Yuan swung his legs and cursed.

The mutant pulled his trouser legs tightly, turned a deaf ear, and kept hissing. She seemed to have smelled the smell, and her whole spirit was a little excited.

As the saying goes, black eyes can't see silver. For mutants, even if they can't see energy crystals, they won't let go even if they die. Luo Yuan can't do anything. He can only let her hold on to him like a bottle of oil, all the way. Drag it downstairs.

"Who gets five water glasses?"

"I'll do it!" Wang Xiaguang stood up and said.

Zhao Yali was about to get up, but when she saw that Wang Xiaguang had already gone to get it, she sat down. I originally thought that it was just Chen Jiayi who was taking it, but I didn’t expect that everyone had a share. She couldn’t help but muttered: “It’s hard to get used to it, it’s time to do it again. The last time I cooked, I broke the pot.”

"You're just a pot. My bedroom doorknob is broken and it hasn't been repaired yet!" Wang Xiuguang came back with a cup and complained after hearing this.

"I wonder why I often hear weird noises at night!" Huang Jiahui joked.

Several women suddenly burst out laughing.

Wang Xiaguang put down her cup and couldn't help but blush after hearing this. After all, she was not as experienced as others. After all, she had to face such a nasty joke, which was really too much for her.

It was all Luo Yuan's fault. She cast a hateful glance at Luo Yuan next to her, her eyes moving.

The first time, Luo Yuan gave it a try, she thought this kind of thing was nothing more than that, but later she discovered that the other party was simply a tireless animal, and would never let her go every time she was tortured to the death.

She had some doubts that Luo Yuan would let them take energy crystals every once in a while, just to have more fun doing that kind of thing.

Luo Yuan didn't know what Wang Xiaguang was saying, so he pretended not to understand Huang Jiahui's joke just now, shook his head and said: "You guys, you are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed. This thing is the energy core of the eighth-level mutant beast. In addition to I’m afraid no one has eaten it!”

Ye Qiuyu, who was nearby, looked at all this with envy and felt lost in her heart. This was the gateway that allowed ordinary people to lead to superhuman beings. This was the key that allowed people to change their own destiny. If this thing spread outside, she believed it could make anyone crazy. .

As an ordinary person, she has a strong desire for powerful strength, but none of this belongs to her. Here she is just a maid named a personal doctor. Before she came here, she had already deeply understood her identity.

She lowered her head, hiding her disappointed expression deeply so that no one could see it.

"Dr. Ye!"

"Dr. Ye!"

Ye Qiuyu suddenly heard Luo Yuan calling her. She was shocked and quickly came to her senses.

"Drink this glass of water for Chen Jiayi!" Luo Yuan said.

"Well, okay! Mayor Luo!" Ye Qiuyu said quickly and respectfully.

"I told you a long time ago, just call me Luo Yuan." Seeing the look of awe on her face, Luo Yuan said.

"Yes, Sister Ye, you don't have to do this at all. We are all our own people." Master Wang also advised.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ye Qiuyu looked flustered and apologized quickly.

"Forget it, forget it, call her what you want!" Luo Yuan said helplessly. This woman faced him like a lamb meeting a tiger. After such a long time, it was still the same.

Luo Yuan shook his head slightly and watched Ye Qiuyu take the water glass and walk away quickly as if to escape. He really didn't know what to say, and the others also looked at each other in confusion.

He had a pretty good impression of Ye Qiuyu. He had always been conscientious and diligent in her home. He not only shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Chen Jiayi, but also took the initiative to help with housework and worked hard without complaint.

Maybe he is naturally timid!

At this time, Luo Yuan recalled her lost and dejected look just now, pondered for a moment, and divided another portion of the remaining crystals.

He didn't care at all about these eighth-level energy crystals, which were considered precious in the eyes of ordinary people, and there were still two energy crystals left. Even if one more person took them, they would still be enough.

The mutant next to him watched eagerly as the first glass of water was taken away. The force pulling Luo Yuan's trousers became stronger and stronger, and he screamed "hiss" anxiously. He was restless. If it weren't for the fact that these trousers were the skin of a giant space beast. Synthetic, I'm afraid she has already torn it to pieces.

She has an impatient temper and doesn't have much patience. After waiting for so long, all her patience has been completely exhausted.

"Brother Luo, please stop tempting her. Give it to her first. If you don't give it, she will go crazy." Wang Shishi usually played well with mutants, and everyone who saw him was anxious for her, and said for her.

"I'm so impatient and greedy. I don't know when I will change. Here you go!" Luo Yuan glared at her angrily and threw a piece of crystal to her. While it was still in the air, a figure quickly jumped up and took it. , couldn't wait to throw it into his mouth, and then ran to the corner to digest it slowly.

Next, everyone got a glass of water and drank it in one gulp, and soon their whole bodies felt like they were on fire.
