Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Entry to the Immortality Scripture

“`

Lin Shen’s surroundings morphed, and the moment he felt solid ground under his feet, he immediately sensed something was awry.

He had clearly chosen a grassy slope, but there was no grassy slope in sight, only a barren surface, the ground like dust and sand, with ring-shaped volcanoes in the distance, unconnected to each other, dotting the empty land.

Even more troubling was that the gravity was different from that of Realm King Planet.

The gravity of Realm King Planet was much stronger than his home planet, but here the gravity was even weaker, giving him the sensation of being tied to a massive helium balloon, barely exerting any effort to float up.

What was more terrifying was that Lin Shen found it impossible to breathe; the air he inhaled scorched his respiratory tract like sulfuric acid, and he felt a strong sensation of suffocation.

“This isn’t Realm King Planet… there’s no oxygen in the air of this planet…” Lin Shen immediately held his breath.

He looked down at his watch, which displayed a countdown of thirty days.

Lin Shen felt like crying but had no tears. He had extended the time, hoping to use these thirty days to boost his strength and level as much as possible on Realm King Planet, so that when he teleported back, he might be capable of surviving against those monsters.

He had no idea that the teleporter could send him to planets other than Realm King.

He was certain that the teleportation error was caused by the monster tampering with it; he just didn’t know how it had been done.

Thinking more about it now was futile. Waves of cold air seeped through the Steel Carapace, making Lin Shen acutely aware that the temperature here was far lower than that of his home planet and Realm King Planet, and that an ordinary person would find it very difficult to survive in such cold.

The reason he didn’t see any glaciers was most likely because this planet had no water.

Without oxygen, without water, with extremely low temperatures, and without food, not to mention the threats that Lin Shen was unaware of, surviving thirty days in such a place felt like he had entered a hellishly difficult level of a game.

He opened his backpack and noticed that Fei Zai was still sleeping, the environment seemingly having no effect on it.

“It seems I’m the only one who’s hurt.” Lin Shen sighed, pulled out his Pet Launcher, and set his pets to guard the vicinity while he sat down to cultivate “The Greed for Life and Fear of Death Elixir”.

He could only hope that Evolution Theory might enable him to survive in this environment.

If he couldn’t get past the first challenge, then forget about thirty days; in just one or two hours, he would be meeting his ancestors.

There was no cover nearby, apart from those volcano-like Ring Mountains, with everything else flat and open, nowhere to hide.

As time ticked away, Lin Shen felt increasingly uncomfortable inside, an experience of suffocation that no one wished to endure.

Lin Shen had always been hesitant to hold his breath because it was too dangerous, and that sensation was something a normal human would find hard to bear.

There are many ways humans can commit suicide: some choose jumping from buildings, others hanging, or drinking poison, but no one can suffocate themselves to death.

Without external interference, no one can suffocate themselves, and so Evolution Theory could never be triggered.

Of course, it’s also possible that it just can’t be triggered at all; by the time one is about to suffocate, they’re already dead, so what use would Evolution Theory be?

Now, Lin Shen could only hope that Evolution Theory would work, otherwise, he had only death to face.

More than an hour had passed, and Lin Shen felt an extreme lack of oxygen, yet the sensation of suffocation had lessened, his body felt limp, and a warmth began in his cerebral cortex, bringing him a slight feeling of comfort.

But this wasn’t an effect of Evolution Theory; it was a false signal produced by the brain after reaching a certain level of oxygen deprivation.

At this stage, it would soon enter a fatal phase.

Indeed, it didn’t take long before Lin Shen’s body began to convulse, and he could no longer maintain his breath-holding. No matter what was outside, he naturally began to breathe.

He didn’t know what kind of gas was entering his body through his respiratory tract, but Lin Shen felt as though his entire airway was being seared with a hot iron, as if it were being torn apart.

Lin Shen curled up in agony, quickly struggling and convulsing desperately, his hands trying to grasp his own throat.

The pain was indescribable, and even the most horrific adjectives fell short of conveying the agony he was experiencing at the moment.

If there really were a hell on Earth, Lin Shen felt he was now in its deepest level.

Evolution Theory remained motionless, and Lin Shen even felt a suicidal urge, as he could hardly bear it any longer.

Fortunately, he endured, grabbing his own arms, scratching deep marks into his Steel Carapace.

Just when Lin Shen almost believed he was going to die, Evolution Theory finally started to operate.

The next second, a terrible pain swept through his entire body. Every organ, every inch of skin, every cell seemed to be under torture.

In extreme pain, Lin Shen finally lost consciousness.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Lin Shen woke up, he found that his Steel Carapace had automatically retracted back into his body.

That kind of pain, as if plummeting into purgatory, had also disappeared. He was still breathing, but he no longer felt any pain, only a peculiar smell in the air, a bit like the scent after setting off a large amount of fireworks.

“I survived,” Lin Shen took a deep breath and was immediately choked up by the intense smell, tears streaming down his face.

As soon as the tears came out, they instantly turned to ice crystals, hanging like diamonds at the corners of Lin Shen’s eyes.

“What planet is this, after all?” Lin Shen stood up, underwent Base Mutation again, protected his body with the Carapace, and felt much better breathing through the Carapace filter.

It was mainly to maintain the moisture in his body; otherwise, in such a place, excessive loss of body water would still be lethal.

Lin Shen tried to hold his breath again, and to his surprise, The Greed for Life and Fear of Death Elixir automatically started to operate. During the time he was unconscious, he had unconsciously mastered the Immortality Scripture.

Looking at the time on his watch, he realized that he had been unconscious for more than forty hours, no wonder he had mastered the Immortality Scripture.

“It seems this is a planet devoid of life.” This time, Lin Shen took a careful look at this planet and saw indeed no signs of life anywhere.

At a glance, it felt similar to the moon, with many ring-shaped craters on the surface.

However, it was clear that this was not the moon; from here one could neither see Earth nor the familiar sun.

Instead, one could see a pale blue sun somewhat similar to that of the Realm King Planet, although the blue sun here was a bit smaller than the one on the Realm King Planet.

Lin Shen could feel that this planet had an atmosphere, only the composition of the atmosphere was different from that of Earth.

Lin Shen moved his body, and with a light jump, he leaped nearly ten meters high without much effort, estimating that an ordinary human could easily jump four or five meters high here.

Originally, Lin Shen planned to use these thirty days to level up, but there were no Base Variant Creatures here, so there was nothing for him to level up with.

Lin Shen thought for a moment, then looked towards the nearest Ring Mountain, hoping to discover something.

If he could not find water or food, he would have to rely on drinking his pets’ Base Mutation Fluid to survive.
