Luo Ping couldn't understand Lu Xi'an's words at first, but Shu kept nodding and said, "Yes, yes, it would be great to get some cows and horses. They only eat grass, yet they can work hard, and once they're fattened up, we can also eat them.

"And pigs, pigs can just eat swill. I once heard that long ago people kept pigs by building toilets and pigsties together. People would excrete, pigs would eat, pigs get fat, people eat the pigs.

"But in our time, we all had farms, and no one did such things anymore."

Luo Ping widened his eyes, looking as if he had learned something, and said, "Really? We should try it out if we can!" Everyone else nodded, thinking that if they could catch some pigs, this would be a good idea.

If Shu had said this in the previous world, many would find it disgusting. But now, people just think that if it works, it'd be great.

Afterward, Luo Ping drove away, leaving Lu Xi'an, Yao Wei, Shu, and Chai Xin here to keep watching over Liu Hua and Tang Er.

The two who had received the strain injections were in deep sleep, without any reaction. During the night, Liu Hua was fine, but Tang Er suddenly opened his eyes, his body tensed into a bow shape, convulsing all over, letting out "ho-ho" sounds.

Everyone rushed to look and saw Tang Er's body covered in bulging veins, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, teeth chattering, skin rapidly cracking with visible fissures, as if about to rot.

"Get the green water! Green water!"

Shu quickly grabbed a bottle of mineral water he carried, opened a small bottle cap's worth, and brought it to Tang Er's mouth.

But his hand trembled with tension, unable to steady the cap, so Lu Xi'an took it from Shu, pried open Tang Er's mouth, and poured it in.

He closed Tang Er's mouth to prevent the green water from leaking. After a moment, the green water took effect, and Tang Er gradually stopped trembling, closed his eyes, and his body relaxed.

Shu breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Ugh... Seeing him like this makes me scared.

"The horrors of that time, I've almost forgotten. Now seeing him, it all comes back. I just wanted to die back then!

"He's luckier, he has green water now. I was practically rotten before I got the green water to drink. Sigh..."

Lu Xi'an glanced at Liu Hua, who remained asleep, unsure if she'd fully merged with the strain injection.

Even if Tang Er had an episode, there's no guarantee there won't be another.

Lu Xi'an was still a bit worried, so he said to the others, "It's late; you all should rest. I'll stay here and watch."

Shu said, "Let the old man do it, brother."

Chai Xin said, "Bro, I'm not tired, I can do it."

Lu Xi'an refused them both, saying, "You guys have to manage the farming, leave this to me. Besides, I'm a Type A Neo-Human; my physical condition is far superior to yours.

"You'd be in poor shape after a night's watch, but for me, it's nothing."

Seeing Lu Xi'an's resolute attitude, Shu and Chai Xin had to go rest.

After they left, Yao Wei quietly said, "I'll stay with you."

Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei, knowing arguing would be pointless, so he let her stay.

To be honest, he was used to having Yao Wei around. If she wasn't there, he'd feel uncomfortable.

Throughout the night, Tang Er and Liu Hua were fine, except Tang Er's skin was now cracked like a spider web, with blood seeping out, forming scabs. Even with green water, it couldn't heal.

So by the next day, Tang Er's blood scabs were sprawling, intertwining, truly resembling a deep brown spider web, a terrifying sight compared to Shu.

When Shu came in, he was startled.

That morning, neither Tang Er nor Liu Hua woke up, with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei watching over them. Shu went to loosen the land freshly overturned, with Chai Xin helping.

By noon, both Tang Er and Liu Hua woke up, and the weather suddenly changed, bringing cold winds and fine snow, forcing Shu and Chai Xin to stop working.

Soon, the snow formed a layer of white outside, glistening and apparently about to invade through the windows and doors, making it clear Luo Ping wouldn't be back quickly.

Lu Xi'an attempted to contact the system, asking if the intelligent system at Institute 923 could heat the living area. Shortly, the ice on the doors and windows melted, warming the house.

Shu was both joyful and surprised, saying, "Great! Great! I didn't expect there was heating here! Is this floor heating? I haven't enjoyed heating in a long time! So comfortable! I just want to sleep immediately!"

Lu Xi'an said, "This probably isn't heating." But it must be similar to floor heating. He couldn't find a heating system on the surface but knew it must be using Dyson Sphere energy.

Anyway, as long as it was warm, staying here would be really comfortable.

The car probably has similar functions, right?

Speaking of which, the car's features haven't been tested yet. If everything works, Yao Wei's car could be fully abandoned, including the air conditioner brought from Jiang Yu Road's villa in Yubei City.

"How do you both feel?"

Continuing Shu's chatter, Lu Xi'an asked Tang Er and Liu Hua.

Liu Hua looked at her body, saying, "Feels... different, very light and full of energy. I've never felt this good. You..."

She seemed about to ask Tang Er "How about you," but seeing his cracked and scabbed skin, hesitated.

Tang Er was also looking at his body, noticing the skin on his hands, arms, legs, and feet, feeling the hard scabs on his face. He could guess his situation, naturally silent, and seeing Liu Hua's expression, bit down, saying nothing.

Tang Er lowered his head, and soon after was suddenly embraced by Liu Hua, causing him to freeze for a moment.

"You're alive, that's great... I was really afraid you were gone."

Liu Hua's voice trembled, somewhat choked as she spoke.

Tang Er was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei quietly watched their display, slightly frowning. However, neither they nor Chai Xin or Shu interrupted the two who had just survived.

Not until Tang Er and Liu Hua finished venting their emotions and apologized did Lu Xi'an ask Tang Er, "When Liu Hua rushed towards you just now, didn't you sense it?"

Liu Hua's movement wasn't fast; even someone like Lu Xi'an, with only a fraction of ability, should have been able to sense it beforehand and react.

Yet Tang Er seemed completely unaware of Liu Hua's movement.

If that's the case, didn't he endure his suffering for nothing?

Upon hearing Lu Xi'an's question, Liu Hua also looked at Tang Er, eyes full of concern.

Tang Er recalled slightly and said, "I think... maybe I did..."

Lu Xi'an lightly swung a punch towards Tang Er, and Tang Er immediately reacted by dodging backward. But compared to Lu Xi'an, there was still a significant gap, how could he avoid it?

If Lu Xi'an hadn't pulled back the punch in time, Tang Er might have been hit.

With this test, Lu Xi'an immediately confirmed—Tang Er's dynamic perception and reaction ability had indeed improved, and it was significantly better than Luo Ping's as well.

Previously, Lu Xi'an had observed Chang make a move on Luo Ping at the Institute 923, so he had some understanding of Luo Ping's perception and reaction. This allowed for a comparison now.

However, compared to himself back then, Tang Er was still lacking, let alone now.

This is probably the difference between an incomplete Neo-Human and a fully evolved Neo-Human...

Lu Xi'an thought, in comparison to Shu, Coffin Man and Chai Xin were still lacking.

—As for the Fish Rider on Sword Mountain, there was no comparability.

The abilities displayed by the Fish Rider at the time were primarily on the big fish in the river and the brown bear ashore. That fish and bear must have been tamed by the Fish Rider over a long time using pheromones, they relied on external force, and couldn't be considered personal strength.

Lu Xi'an then shook hands with Tang Er again, testing his strength, and indeed, Tang Er's strength had improved, but it was still not comparable to Lu Xi'an's capability right after crossing over, let alone now.

Having an idea, he asked Liu Hua, "What about you? You should be fully evolved, have you figured out how to harness your strength?"

"Yes."

Liu Hua took a deep breath, spoke, and then immediately induced sweat to seep from her forehead. The pheromones released with Liu Hua's sweat instantly made Lu Xi'an feel a murderous urge.

He glanced at Yao Wei and the others, seeing that they were all like him, nearly losing control, and quickly said, "Stop it!"

Liu Hua immediately dispersed her ability, and everyone snapped back, feeling a lingering fear.

Type C Neo-Humans are truly terrifying; if this ability is used properly in a sneak attack, it could plunge an entire organization into slaughter and chaos in an instant.

"What emotion were you invoking?"

Lu Xi'an asked.

Liu Hua replied, "Anger. I feel this emotion is the easiest to control, so I tried it first."

Not bad, being able to categorize and control emotions shows that Liu Hua's evolution was quite perfect.

Lu Xi'an suggested to Liu Hua, "Train well to enhance your control. I've seen Type C Neo-Humans enhance the explosive power of Type A Neo-Humans and even control powerful beasts for their use, proving difficult to deal with. You can try that in the future."

Liu Hua nodded and said, "Alright."

She immediately tried enhancing Tang Er, and seeing this, Lu Xi'an tested Tang Er again, feeling that the strength Tang Er was exhibiting at the moment almost matched his own.

Indeed, the combination of Type A and Type C exceeds the sum of their parts. No wonder Chang was terrifying with Yang Guan's enhancement.

Lu Xi'an sighed internally.

However, afterward, Tang Er was thoroughly exhausted, taking quite some time to recover. This gave Lu Xi'an a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Type A and Type C combination, providing much better insight for future encounters with such pairings.

"Alright, let's rest."

After completing the tests and confirming Liu Hua and Tang Er's statuses, Lu Xi'an spoke.

Everyone returned to their rooms to rest, hiding in a warm little house in this cold and freezing world was indeed a pleasant thing.

However, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei didn't actually rest.

The two returned to their new vehicle, checked all its functions, and Lu Xi'an took out the four booklets he had previously put away, saying to Yao Wei, "Let's quickly go through these, study them well, and then pass them to the others to read.

"Especially to Liu Hua. Now that we have a Type C Neo-Human here, our pheromone resistance training can be advanced."
