Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 2 Where did this guy come from?

"Where the hell did this come from?"

"Still in China?"

Lu Ming stood in front of a city several meters high. The people passing by were dressed like ancient people. He felt unwell.

Not only was the body drowned, but it could also have traveled through time?

So, am I experiencing soul travel or body travel?

He hasn't had a chance to look at himself these days. After all, no normal person would think of traveling through time.

Forget it, let’s go into the city and find something to eat first.

Lu Ming slowly accepted the reality. No matter what, he was currently short of energy, and finding some proper food quickly was his top priority.

"Get out, get out, where did these refugees come from? Get out!"

As soon as he reached the city gate, he was stopped by several men dressed as soldiers. They were not polite at all. When they saw Lu Ming approaching, they raised their scabbards and smashed him down.

Lu Ming looked even more like a refugee than a vagrant. His clothes were not even ragged, they were barely covering his body. His body was so thin that it seemed like it would fall apart at any time, making people wonder if he had any disease.

Qingzhou had recently suffered a disaster and there were refugees everywhere. If they were allowed into the city, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.

Although he had never heard of the accents of these people, Lu Ming could inexplicably understand them, as if it was an instinct hidden in his body.

He felt that there was a high probability that he had traveled through time and space.

"Tsk, if you don't want to go into the city, then don't go into the city. Why are you so aggressive?"

Lu Ming secretly gave this group of people the middle finger, then ran away in disgrace.

……

"Crack, click, click."

Lu Ming squatted on a tree in the distance, grabbed a nearby branch, and stuffed the twigs and leaves into his mouth.

At first he found the branches difficult to chew, but after a few bites, it became easier and easier. In less than half an hour, his teeth were as sharp as guillotines, and he chewed the branches with a crunching sound as if he were chewing cucumbers.

These days, in order to better obtain energy, he has been forced to evolve some abilities of herbivorous animals. These branches and leaves were eaten by him and digested quickly.

But this thing doesn’t have very high energy after all. Even if you keep eating it, you will still feel hungry.

Eating these things was just enough to barely survive, so he felt he still had to consume some meat or high-energy sugar.

"Hey, it seems we can enter the city from that direction."

Lu Ming was not only eating, but also observing the city.

At first, it was difficult to see clearly because it was far away, but after a while, the details of the city became clearly visible.

But he felt even hungrier, and all the energy he had just consumed was used to adapt to evolution.

Damn it!

He found that the only bad thing about his ability to adapt to evolution was that it was completely beyond his control.

The entire city is traversed by a river, so there are two water gates on the east and west sides of the city, and all ships enter and exit the city through these two water gates.

After eating almost all the tender leaves of the tree, he stuffed half of the trunk into his mouth in a few bites and then walked towards the river.

"thump."

He dived into the water, the cool water covered his body, his gills opened instantly, and the webbed feet on his hands and feet also stood up.

Perhaps because he has been living underwater for the past few months, he now even feels that living in the water makes him extremely comfortable.

Lu Ming's entire body was submerged in the water, and standing on the shore, he couldn't see clearly that there was another person underwater.

He swung his feet slightly, spread his arms, and a light layer of mucus secreted from his skin, allowing him to swim in the water with incredible smoothness. He kept approaching the city's water gate. No one knew that someone had entered the city unimpeded from underwater.

After entering the city, Lu Ming did not rush to leave underwater, but continued to explore the surrounding environment along the river.

……

At night, Changning County seems unusually lively.

The banks of the Cang River were brightly lit, with many restaurants ablaze with lanterns, and a constant stream of customers coming and going. Meanwhile, pleasure boats slowly sailed past, their sounds of wind instruments and banter audible, even from within.

Although this is just a county town, it is close to the Cang River and has many merchants and travelers coming and going. The place is extremely prosperous and has a wide range of entertainment activities.

"Wow."

In a hidden corner, a slender figure slowly climbed out from the water like a water ghost.

As soon as he got ashore, Lu Ming's stomach started to growl, and the aroma of food kept coming into his mouth and nose.

The strong stimulation made his sense of smell more sensitive, and he instinctively crawled towards the place where the aroma of food came from.

This should be the kitchen of a restaurant. A whole row of smoked sausages, chickens, ducks and pig heads are hung on racks along the river.

"Cuckoo."

Lu Ming's stomach growled even louder. In his eyes, these were a cost-effective source of calories. One bite was equivalent to eating several tree branches.

His eyes turned slightly red, and the instinct to eat took over his mind again.

He desperately needs heat now.

The next moment, his mind stopped working again, but his hands and feet exerted force at the same time, and a black shadow flashed through the darkness and pounced towards the location of the smoked meat.

He actively reduced the energy consumption of his brain, leaving more energy for his body.

"what!"

The waiter in the kitchen saw a black figure with disheveled hair and a thin body jumping out from the water. He was so terrified that he couldn't help screaming.

But what they saw was a creature that looked like a human, but acted like a wild beast, tearing into the smoked chicken, duck, fish and meat with big mouthfuls.

The teeth bit together, as if cutting with a sharp blade, and both flesh and bones were swallowed in big mouthfuls.

"what……"

With the efficient absorption of his stomach and intestines, sufficient calories were converted, Lu Ming's body was recovering rapidly, and his stagnant mind was reactivated.

Even in his consciousness, he felt a warm current flowing rapidly through his body, filling up his shriveled body little by little.

The feeling of his body quickly gaining heat made him feel more comfortable than an orgasm.

He devoured food like a whirlwind; he could swallow a pig's head in three bites and a smoked fish in two.

"There's a water ghost!"

The waiter's shout startled the other people in the kitchen, some of whom rushed out with spatulas in hand. But when they saw the master, they hesitated and only dared to shout loudly.

Lu Ming sensed something was wrong and jumped into the water holding the remaining smoked meat, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Such behavior actually confirmed the rumors about water ghosts.

Lu Ming entered the water and ate the remaining smoked meat in big mouthfuls. It was the first time in the past few months that he felt "full".

As his calorie intake increased, his body gradually activated from a low-energy state, and his hands and feet became stronger.

His eyes were secretly fixed on the kitchens of other restaurants on both sides of the river.
