The enhancement of the base's residents（2）

The next moment, their cheeks turned crimson. Waves of heat emanated from their bodies, and black substances were exuding from their skin pores. "Ah! Ah!" Two screams rang out, and the two women quickly rushed towards the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Anthony watched their retreating figures and directly activated his Data Eye.

"Name: Verna

Gender: Female

Age: 28

Friendliness: 95

Level: None

Spirit: 0.08 (Can amplify battle power by 8%)

Wisdom: 8 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Strength: 13.85 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Agility: 9.25 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Spirit: 6.8 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Virus Resistance: 1.45 (At 1, can be immune to Tier 1 Mutants and lower-level common zombie viruses)

Awakening: (Awakening level: 37.8%)

Martial Art: Qi Cultivation, Hard Qi Gong

Skills: Intermediate Medicine, Basic Cooking

Overall Combat Power: 37.9"

"Wisdom at 8 points, strength reached 1385 catty, still about 1500 catty away from Tier 1 Awakened. Speed is at 64.75 meters per second, nearly approaching that of a Tier 1 Reaper, which should allow her to barely hold her own. Spirit is at 6.8, not sure if she can cultivate the Meditation skill. Both virus resistance and awakening have improved." Looking at Verna's data, Anthony was satisfied. She could now easily handle regular zombies and mutant zombies on her own.

Next, he looked at Cheryl's data panel.

"Name: Cheryl

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Friendliness: 90

Level: None

Spirit: 0.09 (Can amplify battle power by 9%)

Wisdom: 6 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Strength: 15.7 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Agility: 7.7 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Spirit: 6.7 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Virus Resistance: 1.45 (At 1, can be immune to Tier 1 Mutants and lower-level common zombie viruses)

Awakening: (Awakening level: 36.7%)

Martial Art: Qi Cultivation, Hard Qi Gong

Skills: Basic Firearms, Basic Combat

Overall Combat Power: 36.1"

"Wisdom at 6. Strength reached 1570 catty, about 1000 catty away from Tier 1 Awakened. Speed is at 53.9 meters per second, speed increase is slightly slower." Anthony skimmed over the rest and glanced at the final overall combat power, 36.1, not much different from Verna's. In comparison, Cheryl leaned more towards strength, while Verna leaned towards speed. All in all, the Tier 2 Genetic Enhancement Potion was definitely worthwhile for both.

Lastly, Anthony turned his attention to Dash. The real show was about to begin.

"Old man, are you ready?" he asked.

"Yeah!" Dash nodded solemnly and directly injected himself with the Tier 1 Awakening Potion. As the potion entered his body, Dash's once frail figure rapidly expanded until it reached over three meters in height, then began to contract, returning to its original form in less than ten seconds. But Dash's complexion appeared unusually good, his originally graying hair turned jet black and shiny. At first glance, he looked more like a middle-aged man in his fifties than a 75-year-old.

"Hahaha! Kid, what is this thing? The old man feels better than ever!" Dash burst into laughter, his face brimming with excitement.

Seeing this, Anthony quickly asked, "Dash, what ability did you awaken?"

"Ability?" Dash closed his eyes, felt for a moment, then opened them and shouted, "Avatar Transformation!"

With a resounding call, Dash's body expanded until he stood about three meters tall, resembling a muscular giant. His entire body emitted a dazzling golden light, and at a glance, he looked like a towering Buddha!

"Old man, you're quite the dashing figure in this transformation!" Anthony exclaimed excitedly.

Dash grinned widely and laughed, "Kid, the real fun is just beginning!"

"Now, pick up your Tang sword and slash at me," Dash laughed heartily.

"Are you sure about this, old man?" Anthony raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Absolutely, hurry up, don't dawdle!" Dash boomed.

Without further ado, Anthony raised his voice, "Alright!" With that, he drew his Tang sword, gripped the hilt with both hands, and warned, "Dash, I'm about to strike!"

"Stop dilly-dallying like a bunch of girls, chop already!" Dash urged.

"Here it comes!" Without much ado, Anthony lifted his knife and swung both arms, a silver blade of light slashing toward Dash's abdomen.

"Good!" Dash didn't flinch or dodge. He shouted and met the slashing blade head-on, baring his chest and exposing his chest.

In an instant, a sound like the striking of a morning bell echoed. Ripples spread in all directions, causing pain in the ears of even Lynn and her companions hiding in the kitchen. Looking at Dash's belly, after the Tang knife had swung down, not only was there no trace left on his abdomen, but the blade itself couldn't even penetrate.

"This defense is incredible." Anthony sheathed his knife, a pleased expression on his face.

Dash was even more proud. With this power combined with his Diamond Fist, he dared to face a group of Rank 1 mutants head-on. Excited, Dash reverted to his original form, and in a moment, the golden light disappeared.

Anthony quickly asked, "Old man, are you feeling alright?"

"The old man is full of vigor now. I feel like I could watch ten romantic action movies without any issue!" Dash laughed heartily.

"How long can you maintain this transformation?" Anthony asked again.

Dash thought for a moment and replied, "As long as the old man's internal energy doesn't run out, the transformation can be maintained indefinitely."

"I see." Anthony pondered for a moment and then activated his 'Data Eye.' "Show me!"

"Name: Dash

Intelligence: 5.5 (Normal human baseline: 1)

Ability: Buddha Transformation (Awakening Level: 100%)

Overall Combat Power: 93.6"

Anthony gulped, finding the data quite terrifying. His strength had directly increased to 5880 catty (Chinese measurement of weight), his speed reached 99.4 meters per second, his spiritual power was at 15.1, he could be immune to Rank 2 zombie viruses, his ability was Buddha Transformation, and his overall combat power was 93.6. With such terrifying data, even facing a previous Rank 1 Slayer, he could easily ignore their attacks.

Looking at Dash's information, Anthony began to anticipate his own awakened ability. Next, Anthony checked Lynn's friendliness toward him 95,and thus assigned the sixth room to the mother and daughter. After completing these tasks, Anthony sat in the resting area, quietly waiting for the others who were getting ready.

At the same time, on the Yanghe River embankment, as one's eyes followed the river downward, the water rippled in the breeze of summer. Along the riverbank, a few scattered zombies wandered aimlessly on the riverbed.

Suddenly, a splash of water appeared on the surface. A figure about five or six meters in size emerged from the water, opening its huge mouth and swallowing the nearby zombies in one gulp. A splashing sound followed. The water sprayed. But upon looking again, the giant figure had disappeared, leaving only scattered ripples on the water's surface.
