My apocalyptic heroine has come true

"'Just' isn't the right word..."

Shi Yi paused and gave an example.

"Do you know bananas? They're a fruit. Humans and bananas share 60% of their genetic code, while humans share about 80% with cows and 90% with mice..."

"Think about it, just this 10% genetic mutation can turn a mouse into a human. So, if you think about it, 0.2% of mice changing from the size of a palm to the size of a dog, isn't that acceptable?"

"It seems so..." Xia Xiaochi came to his senses.

Shi Yi smiled slightly, raised a finger, and said, "By the way, we also call GP-0 'protozoa'. After all, apart from the changes in body structure, everything about them is quite normal. GP-1, on the other hand, has begun to evolve some kind of venom gland or aggressive skeleton. GP-2 has turned these body structure features into silicon carbide. GP-3 is a radiation symbiosis... From this level onwards, each level is a qualitative leap."

"However, the strongest level we've seen near Shelter 2737 is GP-2. The headless wolf we saw this morning was at GP-2. If they reach GP-3, they will no longer seek food from the outside world, but will rely entirely on the radiation in space to survive."

Xia Xiaochi listened very carefully. Every word Shi Yi said had a great impact on the soul of this scavenger who was originally in the lowest position.

"GP-3 radiation symbiosis..." Xia Xiaochi murmured following Shi Yi's words.

"No wonder GP-3 was so hard to come by at first. Is it because they don't need to consume anything, so they rarely appear?"

"You're right." Shi Yi smiled slightly.

Administrator No. 001 of the Ark Shelter looked only eighteen years old. She was a little worried at first, but now it seems that he was not stupid.

At least she remained quite calm when she said these things. Moreover, Shi Yi could see the respect for herself in her eyes.

If the target was changed to the administrator of 2737, Shi Yi could be sure that the other party would have become impatient when he said the first sentence.

Shi Yi couldn't help but say a few more words to the administrator in front of him: "However, there are also some creatures above GP-3 who follow their instinctive desires and prey on fleshly food. They occasionally come out and wander around at night... This also poses a potential threat to us."

Shi Yi smiled and said, "But there's no need to worry about that. They prefer high-radiation areas. The radiation levels in our area are very low, so high-level pollutants generally won't come here."

"I see."

Xia Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief after figuring out the rule.

Now, at least they are safe. As long as those black spear spiders don't harass them during the day, they can develop in the dark for a long time.

"So, last night when I saw that adult directly using machine guns to bombard the mutant species outside, I was still very surprised..." As he spoke, Shi Yi's eyes inadvertently glanced at the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky.

"Because doing so will attract some mutant species, especially at night. Creating noise and light is not a wise choice. Moreover, any thermal weapon will emit thermal radiation, which will also attract high-level mutant species."

"But..." Shi Yi suddenly smiled and tapped the wall behind him with his knuckles.

"The wall material of our Ark Shelter looks unusual. That gentleman must have been certain of his actions."

"Of course." Xia Xiaochi nodded in agreement.

The other side of the screen.

Fang Ming, who had listened quietly to their conversation the entire time, twitched his lips.

There's no way I'm sure.

It's all because of the newborn calf's fearlessness.

but……

Even though he knew that firing at night was dangerous, Fang Ming still chose to do so.

After all, this is the fastest way for him to earn energy crystals.

The apocalyptic world is changing rapidly.

I have to develop the shelter quickly before a real disaster happens.

At worst, I can just get up earlier and change the firing time from night to daytime.

As long as you finish harvesting the leeks before dawn, you don’t have to worry about GP3 ​​or GP4 species appearing after dawn.

Thinking of this, Fang Ming suddenly remembered another thing that he cared about.

He put his phone back into his trouser pocket and turned on the headset.

"Why are those mutant species afraid of daytime?"

"..."

Hearing Fang Ming's voice, Shi Yi's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her face and said.

"...This is because the mutant species had a genetic defect when they first mutated," Shi Yi said seriously. "In almost every mutant species, the first gene they mutated is related to light reaction. This makes them extremely afraid of certain wavelengths of light. Such wavelengths exist in 'sunlight' and also in the 'dispelling lights' we humans commonly use."

"So, the dispersing lamp will disperse the mutant species at night." Xia Xiaochi interjected.

Shi Yi nodded: "Yes, but the dispersal lamp is artificially imitated after all, and the luminous range and energy are limited, so they are more afraid of daylight."

After listening to Shi Yi's words quietly, Fang Ming grabbed the railing and walked forward a few steps.

He walked with difficulty to the end of the corridor, slowly exhaled, and then sat back in his wheelchair.

"In that case, what about those spiders that appear during the day?" Fang Ming continued to ask.

Shi Yi was stunned for a moment and frowned.

"Well... actually, I'm not too sure. It seems like the genetic defects that should have existed in them have been repaired."

"It's possible they repaired themselves during their reproductive evolution, or perhaps they came into contact with some kind of opportunity... I really don't know."

After hearing this answer, Fang Ming was silent for a moment.

He didn't expect Shi Yi to be able to answer.

After all, those mutant spiders have only appeared for a short time, and Shi Yi has been working as a miner in Shelter 2737 in recent years. It is impossible for her to have any channels to know these things.

Fang Ming asked again: "If these mutant spiders were to be classified into different levels, what level do you think they should be?"

Shi Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering.

"I think their biological level is around GP2. I'm not sure if they can completely break away from traditional feeding methods, but judging by their skeletal appearance, they should be around GP2. As for their ecological niche dominance E, I think it could reach level 3 or even level 4. Their intelligence level is probably only slightly smarter than a gray squirrel... maybe level 2?"

Shi Yi concluded: "So, if I were to give an assessment, I think the overall grade of those mutant spiders is: GP2-E4-Q2."

"This is already a very high level in a typical biological atlas... Especially their teamwork ability. Through my observation, I found that they not only cooperate with each other, but also have different divisions of labor based on their different characteristics."

"Yeah," Fang Ming agreed with Shi Yi's ideas.

After all, he had seen the different individuals of the black spear spider with his own eyes.

They have flexible scout types, and offensive types that have mutated to have tougher, long silver-gray legs...

"Xiao Lai said that their nest should be underground in Shelter 0331." Fang Ming said word by word.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xiaochi and Shi Yi looked at him at the same time.

Until now, Xia Xiaochi still didn’t know that the black spear spiders had a nest, let alone that their nest was underground in Shelter 0331.

Brother Fang Ming...deliberately didn't tell her?

Is it because you're afraid she'll worry?

Or... because they are located in Shelter 0331, which was her former home?

"That makes sense then..."

Shi Yi bit her fingernails anxiously, her brows still furrowed.

"It's just as I suspected. They have a 'mother', otherwise they wouldn't be able to reproduce so quickly... I once told Xiao Ba about my guess, but he didn't take it seriously."

Shi Yi finished speaking with gritted teeth.

Obviously she didn't have a good impression of the administrator of Shelter 2737.

"...How many attacks of black spear spiders do you think my shelter can withstand?" Fang Ming asked, changing the subject.

Shi Yi raised his head and said, "As long as it's not the mother body, with the defensive power of the Ark Shelter's outer wall, they won't be able to break through."

"What if it's a missile?" Fang Ming asked again.

"..."

Shi Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, as this was a question that she did not expect.

However, she quickly thought of the fate of Shelter 0331, and suddenly felt cold sweat on her forehead. She raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile.

"You can ask me about biological matters, but I don't have much knowledge of weapons... However, if you wish, you can always give orders to Shi Si. He can use the two devices outside your shelter to build a stronger defense for your shelter!"

As the owner of the Ark Shelter, it is impossible for the other party not to know the defense limit of his shelter.

Shi Yi judged that the other party was testing her.

It's time to express your loyalty!

These two siblings are definitely useful talents for the Ark Shelter!

“It is indeed a viable path…”

Fang Ming on the other side of the phone felt that what Shi Yi said made some sense.

Strengthen yourself with things made in a small modular workshop...

However, can the garbage currently in the shelter be stronger than the Ark's recycled iridium-titanium alloy?

Unless he dismantles something high-tech.

Otherwise, it is not that easy to improve defense.

Take a day off

First of all, I would like to thank ArcherX03, the leader of the alliance, for adding two chapters and settling the account at the end of the month.

OJZ asked for leave right after receiving the reward. I am a bad guy.

There's really no other way. I just made the sudden decision to go traveling yesterday, so I don't have any drafts saved.

I had originally declined my family’s invitation last month, but when I saw my mother packing her luggage alone yesterday, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

My mother has been divorced for over 20 years and has been living alone. This time, her two older sisters asked her to go on a trip with them, and they also asked me to go, but I declined. But last night, I saw my eldest and second aunts strolling along the river, chatting and laughing with their husbands and children, while my mother was walking alone behind them. Suddenly, I felt bad. I had to go with her this time. Even though I had no interest in the places they were traveling to, I couldn't let my mother go alone.

I took the high-speed train all day today from Sichuan to Hunan, and just landed in Changsha. I am so tired and really can't catch up. I'm taking a day off and will find time to write tomorrow. I'm sorry everyone.

Chapter 90 The Little Heroine's Big Trick

The conversation is over.

Fang Ming asked Shi Yi to stay in the Ark Shelter during this period. Her task was to hand-draw the appearance, level, and characteristics of the mutant species she knew.
