The apocalypse arrived abruptly, with nuclear pollution sweeping across the globe. Typhoons, tsunamis, torrential rains, earthquakes, mutations… In a short time, all living beings on Earth faced ...
Jiang Mi looked at the broken water cup on the table and was delighted. A smile appeared on his face and he shook his head at Zhang Lao, "No."
Mr. Zhang was very anxious. "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Jiang Mi raised her hand and used her mind to control the molecules in an area the size of a basketball in front of her. Then she smiled and said to Xing Shaoan, who was staring at her with burning eyes, "Take two steps forward and feel it."
Xing Shaoan took two steps forward without any hesitation. He didn't feel anything in the first second, but in the second he felt something was wrong. He seemed to be unable to breathe!
The other people watched as Xing Shaoan, who had a normal expression on his face, frowned slightly after he stepped forward. Then his expression became increasingly ugly, his entire face gradually began to turn red, veins bulged on his neck, and his eyes even bulged out. He looked extremely scary.
Just as Mr. Zhang was about to call for a stop, Jiang Mi had already raised his hand to disperse his power. Xing Shaoan suddenly softened his body and supported himself on the edge of the bed with one hand, breathing deeply, as if he had been deprived of oxygen for a long time!
"Xiao Xing? How is he? What happened?" Old Zhang stepped forward, supported him and asked hurriedly.
Liu Ji looked at Xing Shaoan thoughtfully, with a look of enlightenment in his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Mi and said what he was thinking, "Air?"
After saying that, he shook his head and said, "No, to be more precise, it's oxygen! Is your ability to control oxygen?"
It was the first time he had seen humans display abilities beyond reality so directly, and he simply found it incredible.
Jiang Mi smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's about controlling oxygen. I feel like I can probably drain or add five cubic meters of oxygen at most now. Any more will be a bit beyond my ability."
After hearing what she said, Mr. Zhang almost took a deep breath.
He has been studying mutants almost all the time for the past six months, so he knows very well that even mutants need oxygen, because those mutants are simply mutated cells in the body, and cells must have oxygen to survive. Although some viruses can survive in a vacuum environment, they are extreme cases, and very, very few can actually survive. The vast majority can only survive in a vacuum environment for a while.
Even so, this ability to control oxygen is extremely terrifying. Whether it is against mutants or humans, it is definitely a powerful weapon!
It is invisible and impossible to guard against. It is impossible for everyone to carry an oxygen tank with them at all times, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lao suddenly asked curiously: "If a person is carrying an oxygen tank, can you still kill him?"
Jiang Mi thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "I don't know now, because I'm not sure whether I can mobilize the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder. If I can mobilize it, I can directly cut off the oxygen supply in the oxygen cylinder to the outside, so that he can still die of lack of oxygen."
"But there's no need to be so troublesome." Jiang Mi smiled and raised her hand again. Under her will, everyone watched as an invisible wave spread across her palm. Then, in their sight, a transparent bullet the size of a fingernail appeared in her palm and rotated slightly.
"This is an oxygen bomb that has been concentrated a hundred times. I think it should be more than enough to penetrate a person's head."
Zhang Lao looked at the compressed oxygen bullet in her palm with some surprise, and asked suspiciously: "Is this bullet still in gaseous form?"
Jiang Mi nodded. "Of course, I can only compress the oxygen as much as possible, but I can't liquefy it. After all, the necessary condition for liquefaction is pressure, which I really have no way to control."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He had lived for most of his life, and everything that had happened from the end of the world to now had challenged his worldview. If Jiang Mi could even liquefy oxygen, then his worldview would really be shattered. Fortunately, all of this could still be explained by science, otherwise, he would have doubted his life.
Jiang Xun waited until they had finished asking questions before he said, "How did you feel after you awakened? Did you feel any discomfort? Did you feel sick?" He was weak for a long time after he awakened, so he knew that feeling very well.
Jiang Mi smiled and shook his head, "I feel like I'm strong enough to kill a cow with one punch, but it's true that I'm very hungry."
Xing Shaoan hurriedly said: "I'll go cook for you!"
Jiang Mi hurriedly called out to Xing Shaoan, who had already turned around to cook, "No, I have food!"
Xing Shaoan then remembered that she had her own space, so he didn't need to worry about her food.
"Then you should have a good rest and eat something. We'll talk about anything later." Xing Shaoan nodded. Mr. Zhang and Liu Ji didn't bother him anymore, and the three of them left together.
As soon as the people left and the door was closed, Jiang Mi couldn't wait to take out a bottle of peach juice from the space and took a few gulps. Then he got out of bed and put a table full of food, including barbecue, fried chicken, spicy and sour noodles and various other kinds.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Xun didn't disturb her. He sat quietly and watched her eat. He didn't refuse the food that Jiang Mi handed to him and ate some with her.
By the time they were done eating, the entire table was devoured. Jiang Mi's mouth was full of oil, and while burping, he rubbed his slightly swollen stomach and said comfortably, "I was starving just now. I feel like if I don't eat anything more, my stomach acid will digest everything."
Looking at the mess on the table, Jiang Mi herself was a little bit unbelievable. You know, these foods are enough for a strong man to eat for three days, but she finished it in one meal. Although it seemed that she accidentally ate too much, this amount of food still shocked her.
"If I were to participate in a big eating contest, I would definitely be the winner! And win the championship." Jiang Mi clicked his tongue.
"Are you full?" Jiang Xun handed her a piece of paper.
Jiang Mi wiped his mouth, burped again, and then said, "Now that I have awakened my superpowers, although it is only level one, I can protect myself. We should explore the base as soon as possible. Let's set off at noon."
Jiang Xun nodded without objection because it was indeed true.
Now we have to support a lot of people for nothing. Although we can afford it, if we want to compete with those bases that have been established long ago, we should seize every opportunity to build them.
Jiang Mi rubbed his bloated stomach and said, "Also, since the perfect awakening potion has been successfully developed, I think we can let Xing Shaoan and Liu Ji and Zhang Lao be the first batch of awakening personnel. That way, when we go to pick up Miao Xi and the others, our base will also be able to resist risks. Otherwise, if we rely on this group of powerless researchers alone and something goes wrong, we will be finished."
Jiang Xun listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he said, "I'll go pick up Miao Xi and the others. City R is not too far from City D. After Miao Xi and the others have awakened their abilities, the risk of the entire team's migration will be greatly reduced. I can bring them here in half a month at most. As for you, stay in City D to follow up on the base construction."
