Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 944

Chapter 944: Chapter 301: Life Evolution, Power Soaring!

854 Pounds, totaling 427kg.

This is currently the extreme limit the body can bear; any further, the skeleton and internal organs would completely collapse due to the inability to support the weight.

Cheng Ye looked at the scale, with eyes full of surprise; unexpectedly, this weight is 12kg more than last time.

He stepped off the large scale, restoring his weight.

As the body’s burden completely disappeared, an indescribable sense of fulfillment gathered in his chest cavity.

After resting for a while, Cheng Ye walked to the side and took a small notebook from his backpack.

He opened the cover; the paper was densely packed with rows of experimental records, the handwriting neat and clear:

[October 3: Searched for 20 different types of Lv1 skills and officially launched the fusion experiment]

[This search’s core direction: innate skills that cannot be acquired through practice; prioritizing life level enhancement, abandoning the fusion of basic skills that humans can master through learning]

[Fusion rules: completely directed by the Collector, without any additional intervention except for special unexpected situations]

[October 3: After 17 fusions, the results stabilized with no mutation. Fixed result: Iron Lung (lung tissue strengthening; increased lung capacity; failed to induce life level change)]

[October 4: Began targeted search for Lv1 skills related to the lungs for fusion enhancement]

[October 4: Searched 20 times, only 4 lung-related skills found; after fusion, Iron Lung still failed to cause life level change]

[October 5…]

[October 6: Searched 20 times, found 7 lung-related skills; after fusion, Iron Lung evolved, enhancing life level. Result: Whirlpool Lung (special spiral tissue developed on lung’s inner wall; can precisely control airflow of compressed air; equipped with ability to release Air Cannon attack; initial maximum storage capacity: 0.5 cubic meters)]

[October 7: Searched 17 times and initiated Lv2 skill fusion experiment]

[This search’s core direction: innate skills that cannot be acquired through practice; prioritizing life level enhancement, continuing previous criteria, abandoning the fusion of learnable basic skills]

[Fusion direction completely determined by the Collector, abandoning any extra intervention except for special situations]

[…]

[October 9: After 9 fusions, the results stabilized with no mutation. Fixed result: Floating Bone (awakening bone density adjustment factor; failed to induce life level change)]

[October 10: Searched 17 times and selected 7 bone-related skills; after fusion, Floating Bone successfully evolved, life level synchronously enhanced. Final skill: Floating Sand Bone (effect: honeycomb hollow structure formed within bones, greatly enhanced impact resistance; equipped can actively adjust weight. In light weight state, hovering ability increased, in heavy weight state, defense and impact power reinforced; initial limit values: minimum 52kg, maximum 315kg)]

[…]

Prove that the initial assumption had no deviation.

Taking into account that equipping skills will change the body’s native form, skill fusion must have a clear endpoint.

After leaving it completely to the Collector’s autonomous control, all Lv1 skills collected from humans ultimately pointed to lung evolution.

Even when attempting to fuse information unrelated to the lungs, the Collector would only filter and extract lung-related information flow.

The fusion logic of Lv2 skills is similar; the evolution location shifted from lungs to bones, no matter what type of skills were initially searched for, they would ultimately focus step by step on bone enhancement.

Logically, breathing is the primary factor in human life activities, all physiological activities depend on oxygen supply, and lungs, as the core of gas exchange, should be the basic starting point of evolution.

As for the Lv2 evolution direction, it should indeed be the heart.

The heart is the driving force of blood circulation, responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrition throughout the body; as physical evolution increases energy consumption, strengthening the heart ensures energy supply and avoids blood supply shortage in high-load activities.

But in reality, Lv2 evolution focused on bones.

“Now it seems, the evolution route planned by the Collector for me follows the principle that physical structure precedes functional enhancement.”

Cheng Ye picked up his pen and added a reflection at the end of the experimental notes, “This means that in the underlying priority of human genes, the importance of bones exceeds the heart, rather than simply sorting by functional needs.”

Bones are the body’s supporting framework, carrying weight, protecting internal organs, and serving as the conduit for movement; strengthening them can directly enhance survival and basic activity capabilities.

Just like when Lv1 used Whirlpool Lung, after the first air compression, he nearly suffered fractures and internal organ displacement due to air pressure impact.

Yet after bone evolution, today’s first Air Cannon launch was exceptionally smooth, and the extreme compression limit increased from 0.5 cubic meters to 1.2 cubic meters.

This discovery sparked many whimsical ideas within him.

After recording the latest data, Cheng Ye got up and equipped both Whirlpool Lung and Floating Sand Bone.

He adjusted his weight to the lightest state with a thought, then started compressing air.

Perhaps in the light weight state, the bone’s tolerance slightly decreased; this time, when compressed to 0.8 cubic meters, the body’s limit was reached.

Cheng Ye slightly crouched, the instant his feet pushed off the ground to jump, he forcefully released an Air Cannon from his mouth, targeting the ground below!

Bang!

An air cannon suddenly blasted towards the ground, and the strong recoil force propelled Cheng Ye’s body towards the sky.

The original jump limit was just three meters, but now, using airflow recoil, he directly shot up to nearly eight meters high.

He glanced over, and the dockside waterproof wall’s full view was visible, with the outline of Dapo Town clearly in sight.
