We haven’t even explored many places yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Supplies are endless; greed will only lead to big losses,” Lin Xian said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Tang Hai doesn’t seem dead—I’m worried there might be other troubles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not dead!?” Kiki frowned. “I thought he was already dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian sighed and recounted what he had seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel Tang Hai might possess some kind of ability, and what happened just now may have been a change in that ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he turned to Lou Shasha and Lou Ye and asked, “How much do you two know about abilities?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Ye froze at the question, then shook his head earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t really know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Ye seemed to understand little about his own ability—only that one day, he had suddenly become much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Brother, don’t you remember?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha then revealed a crucial detail: “When that Feng Yuming turned into a bug and attacked you, he called you a low-tier piece of trash and said you didn’t even know that killing Guiyiti  and ability users could make your ability evolve…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Ye scratched his head. “Come to think of it… yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Chen Laoshi exclaimed. “Can abilities level up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian sighed. “If there are tiers, Feng Yuming wasn’t the lowest—he’s strong, and he knew we were three ability users, yet showed no fear. That means he had confidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished speaking, then noticed Kiki, usually the most talkative, had gone silent. He raised his gaze and saw her watching him with a narrow, peculiar smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spit it out!” He knew this girl knew a lot—her grin made his teeth ache. “Say it now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I told you I know how abilities level up, and that they’re divided into many categories—would you want to know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone turned to Kiki in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned. “Wait—does this come with conditions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki raised an eyebrow, then leaned close to Lin Xian’s ear and whispered something. He winced instantly, pinching his trigeminal nerve in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, you’d better keep your word~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki said, clearly satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First,” she raised a finger. “After the first Polar Night, over ten thousand humans worldwide were discovered to have undergone mutations—this is only a tiny fraction of the post-disaster statistics. After the Day of Revelation, the Lianbangzheng Prefecture urgently established a special agency called the ‘Angel Plan’ to study these abnormal humans. Its purpose, besides research, I suspect, is to harness this power to uncover the secrets of the Star Abyss and find a way to save the world…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know all this?” Chen Sixuan asked, astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki smirked proudly. “Hacking into the Lianbangzheng Prefecture’s internal network isn’t hard. Besides—it’s the end of the world. Who’s going to care about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian studied Kiki with a scrutinizing gaze. This girl had ridden a rescue helicopter after the Polar Night—whether or not she was the Linglong Group’s heiress, her background was clearly extraordinary. But since she had useful information, he didn’t press for unnecessary details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough, cough~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki cleared her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘Angel Plan’ gathered some of the last remaining top scientists after the Day of Revelation. Through research, they found that all survivors who didn’t turn into zombies after the Polar Night emitted a remarkably similar energy that repelled external forces. They called this energy ‘Dangling Value.’ Even the weakest survivors—women and children—had a Dangling Value of at least 1. In contrast, when observing zombies or dark Guiyiti , this value was negative, below zero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Initially, this discovery was thought to be a filtering mechanism, but since no pattern could be found, it was labeled as the survivors’ ‘vital energy.’ Then came the interesting part: all ability users and physically strong adults showed significantly higher values. In particular, ability users—the ‘Angel Plan’ had already cataloged 34 similar ability categories after the first Polar Night, evaluating them functionally and destructively, then cross-referencing these metrics with Dangling Value—and confirmed the correlation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dangling Value represents life force or resilience against the night’s invasion—the stronger the person, the higher the value.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s point one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki continued: “The second key point is that abilities are evolvable. Some data even shows a small number of individuals had values exceeding Level Three or even Level Four from the moment they were discovered…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level Three? Level Four?” Lin Xian frowned. “Aren’t you forgetting something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki shrugged. “I just skimmed it. Basically, a bunch of lab guys did a ton of weighted assessments combining Dangling Value, physical strength, energy output, destructive power, and lethality to living beings, then created tiers. I glanced at it—all ordinary people and ability users fall within 1–100 Dangling Value, called [Source Seed Tier]. For example, Level Three, the Steel Tier, completely surpasses human limits—unless you use heavy weaponry, it’s nearly impossible to kill them. Their Dangling Value is defined as 500–1000.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level Four, the Rampage Tier, poses a massive threat to entire regions, requiring large armies, heavy tanks, and various armored weapons to suppress. Their Dangling Value is defined as 1000–3000 combat units.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for levels above Destruction Tier, there’s no detailed data—they lack the metrics, so they’ve only estimated growth exponentially based on prior tiers…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Shasha’s eyes widened. She couldn’t help asking, “Kiki-sis, how exactly does an ability evolve?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… it’s probably not what anyone imagines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s expression turned complex. “I saw some classified documents. They do indicate that after reaching Evolution Level (2), ability users gain a certain increase in Dangling Value by fighting, defeating night Guiyiti , or even other ability users. But since these were early preliminary reports, the content was limited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After Level Two?” Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened. “What about Level One?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!” Kiki looked at Lin Xian with interest. “Now you’re asking the right question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked thoughtfully. “The strangest part is, the Abnormal Human Research Bureau found, from early data, that different types of abilities in the Source Seed Tier are highly unstable. These ability users seem to require some ritual, event, or emotional shift to evolve. The ‘Angel Plan’ even believes true transformation or full evolution only begins at Level Two—so they call it Evolution Level or Breakthrough Level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ritual?” Everyone exclaimed in unison. It sounded almost religious, mythological.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly.” Kiki continued. “For example, Feng Yuming—I think he belongs to either Category 16, Limb Mimicry, or Category 21, Aberrant Proliferation. Either way, according to the data, if he kills night Guiyiti  or ability users, then absorbs their flesh through his mutated limbs or body, he has a chance to evolve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…” Kiki suddenly turned to Lou Ye. “As for you, Big Lou—based on your description, you’re Category 3, Physical Enhancement. Among all ability users, this is common. But strangely, according to multiple uncertain evaluations in the ‘Angel Plan’ files, your type cannot evolve to Level Two using Feng Yuming’s method—it requires a completely different evolutionary path!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?!” Lou Shasha gasped. “That sounds terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows?” Kiki shrugged. “Whether from biology or physics… well, okay, those disciplines don’t exist anymore in this world. Just treat it as theology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One more thing: the bureau believes ability evolution has two sides. That is, ability users have weaknesses like zombie-infected people—if specific conditions aren’t met, they’re corrupted by the power, gradually heading toward failed evolution or turning into zombies. In other words, when a person’s Dangling Value drops below 1, they call it… Degeneration!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Degeneration?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about Tang Hai?” Lin Xian asked her. “The situation I saw—did you see anything like it in the files?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki nodded seriously. “I’ve seen it—and I’m certain he’s Category 32. This ability type is called Uncertain Infection. Very interesting.” She frowned. “The data shows that during the Source Seed stage, this ability is nearly undetectable—no physical or mental changes at all. The only trait is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hard to detect by zombies?” Lin Xian thought of the scene, his face darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki nodded. “But this ability type is also the easiest to evolve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned. “So if you’re bitten and killed by a zombie, you might level up…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… and no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki tilted her head, her gaze slightly somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on collected cases, evolution isn’t guaranteed or predictable—it might… result in a failed evolution!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New author, please follow and recommend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7e719d169899b5402c7d91392caac594a200211cca101a1c293cbc6752b38ec2","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-47","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-45",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
