Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

Upon witnessing the second-tier ghoul girl being urgently recalled, Ling Shuang immediately slipped away.

He now squatted alone on the leeward side of an ice ridge, placing three pale red crystals side by side on the snow in front of him.

Ling Shuang's current state is quite delicate.

The left half of his body emanated the icy chill unique to night demons, while the other half surged with the burning pulse of a ghoul.

The two energies form a clear dividing line along the midline of the spine.

"Wouldn't it be better to remove the Night Demon's mimicry first?"

Just as he retracted his Night Demon mimicry and prepared to continue absorbing the Ghoul Source Crystal,

Suddenly, a shocking situation was discovered.

In pure human form,

He's not cold at all!

The biting wind, reaching minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, swept across the back of my bare hands.

There wasn't even a stinging sensation from the low temperature!

Ling Shuang's pupils contracted slightly.

His body seemed to have an invisible insulating film spread across his skin.

Ling Shuang looked down at the three dark red, irregularly shaped spheres in the animal skin pouch at her waist.

"It can only be these fire crystals that are at work."

They can actually keep the human body at a constant temperature!

He was initially hesitant about whether to bring the loot back to the safe zone first.

But after discovering this function of fire crystal,

He decided to wait a little longer.

If fire crystals can enable ordinary human forms to survive in environments with temperatures as low as -50 or -60 degrees Celsius, then this discovery would be of immense significance to all of humanity.

The safe zone has less than twenty days of protection left. After the countdown ends, the temperature will plummet, the heating furnace can only cover a limited area, and the fuel will run out sooner or later.

If fire crystals could be used as an alternative fuel, or could be transformed into some kind of building module by the Lord system...

Moreover, its effects are definitely not limited to this.

Therefore, Ling Shuang was determined to find out the source, collection method, and distribution of fire crystals.

So he tried to completely release the ghoul's burning pulse, instead guiding it down his spine to his limbs.

The previously stagnant reinforcement progress bar for the torso began to move forward slowly and steadily.

The skin belonging to a ghoul slowly emerged, revealing a rough texture similar to aged tree bark under the moonlight.

When the snow finally piled up into a small white mound above Ling Shuang's head, he suddenly opened his eyes.

First-stage enhancement of the torso is complete!

Meanwhile, Ghoul Mimicry is unlocked!

Ling Shuang stood up, and snow fell softly from her shoulders.

It is about 1.8 meters tall, but its body is obviously more sturdy than that of a human, and its shoulders are extremely wide.

Its skin was a rough, grayish-brown color, like pieces of slate pieced together.

Its lower jaw protrudes more than that of a human, with two rows of teeth slightly exposed, and the corners of its mouth turn downwards, creating a naturally fierce appearance.

But apart from the ghoul's mimicry, there are two slightly raised bone plates on Ling Shuang's back shoulder blades, like some kind of nascent structure.

He could feel energy constantly flowing in there.

He moved his fingers in this new form, and the joints made a dull cracking sound.

Its power is extremely abundant, far surpassing that of other Night Demon larvae of the same level.

The cost is a decrease in flexibility.

The two mimicry methods are completely different.

Night ghouls are like ambush hunters, adept at detecting subtle vibrations and energy fluctuations, while ghouls are more like heavily armored infantry, with thick skin and tough flesh.

At this moment, the energy in Ling Shuang's shoulder blade finally stopped surging.

At the same time, a completely new message flooded into his consciousness.

"Current life level has been upgraded to Tier 1!"

It represents a leap forward in the entire level of life.

Even in ghoul form, he felt that his five senses, reaction speed, basic strength and endurance had all improved to a new level!

But more significant changes are yet to come.

The two raised bony plates in the scapula area finally started to move.

The energy that was once used to control the explosive bursts of scales flowed back from the arms to the back, converging at the shoulder blades, and then...

A pair of metallic wings suddenly unfolded behind him.

This is the reward for completing one level of life level!

Each wingplate is a homogeneous structure of scales, with sharp, knife-like edges and a surface shimmering with dark silver light patterns.

The wingspan is about three meters when not fully extended, and when folded, it can be held close to the back with almost no impact on movement.

Ling Shuang paused for a second. He tried to control the newly sprouted wings with his mind.

The wing made a crisp metallic scraping sound and flapped slowly and clumsily once.

The powerful downward pressure whipped up the snow on the ground, forming a ring of white mist around his feet.

He leaped up, his winglets slamming down...

He hovered in mid-air, five meters above the ground, for less than a second, before crashing heavily back into the snow, creating a human-shaped crater nearly a meter deep.

"Hiss... I still need to practice." Ling Shuang climbed out of the snow pit, brushed the snow off his shoulders, and spoke calmly, but the slight upturn at the corners of his mouth betrayed him.

Even a brief glide increases the chances of survival and mobility more than tenfold on this vast ice field.

Ling Shuang withdrew the energy from the scales and used pure ghoul mimicry.

We need to find a less intelligent transport team to infiltrate.

Ling Shuang walked quickly for about twenty minutes, and behind her came the low breathing of the Beetle and the crunching of the sled grinding through the snow.

He slowed his pace, pretending to stumble, and deliberately limped a little on his right leg.

A round, chubby ghoul jumped off the sled, trotting over on the frosty snow, its mouth stuffed with jerky.

"Hey! You over there!"

Ling Shuang turned around, revealing a surprised expression.

The other party was in a truly terrible state, with a makeshift bandage made of animal hide wrapped around his left arm, and dark green bloodstains had formed a hard crust on it.

In terms of appearance, he's one of the more handsome ghouls, with a blank stare.

Ling Shuang instantly realized that this was the one she had been looking for!

"Hey, my name is Herto, what's yours?"

Three steps away from Ling Shuang, Heto stopped and swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.

At this moment, Ling Shuang's leather armor was disheveled, her body was covered in scratches, and she was limping on her right leg.

Herto was shocked by the fact that Herto's appearance was even more miserable than her own.

"You were also attacked by the Night Demon Mother?" Herto clicked his tongue.

Ling Shuang thought for a moment, then squeezed out the deep breath characteristic of ghoul language.

"My name is Zhang Mu. You must be Herto. I've heard of you before."

"Our transport team was ambushed by out-of-control Night Demon bastards. My other two teammates died, and I survived by falling into a snow ditch."

Herto was stunned.

"Zhang Mu? I don't think I know him. How do you know me?"

Ling Shuang, as if they were old friends, put her arm around his shoulder.

"Everyone says you're handsome. My teammate even ate meat with your friend's brother."

Herto paused for a second, then his round face visibly lit up with joy.

"Is he handsome? I think so too."

In his excitement, Herto reopened the wound on his arm.

Seemingly recalling some painful memory, Heto let out a deep sigh.

"That beast wreaked havoc in the camp. By the time I arrived, most of the tents had collapsed and dozens of people were dead."

The king was killed, and both commanders and captains were gone too.
