This rule sounds a bit too harsh, as if it means those who can adapt should adapt as soon as possible, and those who cannot adapt should be eliminated directly.

This is truly heartbreaking for those who haven't yet grasped the core values ​​in peacetime. Just a few months ago, they firmly believed in the core values, and now the survival of the fittest is being implemented.

However, the minority had to submit to the majority, and given that Shi Yin was indeed tough, plus the premise that one should be soft-hearted and resolve things on their own, most people could only shut up.

Moreover, everyone's attention is not on this now, but on what Shion is about to say next.

"After the meteorite strike, many people will gain superpowers. Our five countries are divided into different factions, and each faction will give all its citizens, including animals, a flag badge that can detect superpowers and zombie indicators, and also serve as an identity verification card."

“Every building, every shop, every school, and every hospital will have an identity verification gate to prevent any fraudulent activities.”

"Everyone should know about the 10 levels of superpower detection. Now that we are officially entering the early stages of the apocalypse, no one may use superpowers higher than level 3. Everyone must strictly abide by this rule, including me."

"Unless it is an emergency and unavoidable situation, the badge has a recording function. If more than three levels of video recording are used, it will be reported and evaluated by professionals. Once it is found that the use of superpowers is not a special case, punishment will be imposed, and in severe cases, the superpowers will be stripped."

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

They're all smart people; extracting important information is second nature to them.

There are a few key points: 1. The badge serves as both an identity verification card and a supernatural ability detection card. 2. Those without identification are refused entry. 3. Supernatural abilities can be used up to level 3, and the same applies to Tokine.

IV. Superpowers can be stripped away!

"Can we raise an objection?" someone asked cautiously, raising their hand.

“Of course, even a tyrant is not a dictator.” Shi Yin nodded: “Since I have come to you, I will certainly take into account your suitable suggestions.”

"Isn't it a bit too much to refuse all dealings with people without status?" The speaker was a middle-aged man. "While the rules are established to protect, I think they also limit the potential of some people. If they are truly self-reliant and doing well, perhaps we can cooperate."

“Sure, you can cooperate on your own.” Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.

Everyone: "..."

ah?

“I grant you the freedom of personal space, but we refuse to provide any assistance in this regard,” Shi Yin continued. “If you feel sorry for them, then help them from your own personal salaries.”

No one spoke.

Thinking about their own money, and then about what they could get after the apocalypse, they lowered their heads and became obedient.

"Then why can superhumans only use level 3 power?" A young man raised his hand; he was one of the people in charge of superhumans. "We've tested it, and level 3 is no different from an ordinary person."

"Only someone without practical experience could say something like that," Shi Yin retorted expressionlessly. "For example, lightning ability. Even if the ability level is only D, level 3 is enough to paralyze someone for three seconds. Three seconds is enough for you to die ten thousand times over."

“But that was just a single one,” the young man protested. “If there were a whole group of zombies like you said, we wouldn’t be able to handle it at all.”

"Are the soldiers just sitting around doing nothing?" Shi Yin frowned. "The protective suits were modified by Hermod and me tens of thousands of times. They can guarantee that even if zombies gnaw on you for three days and three nights, they won't break through. The machetes can also guarantee to cut a zombie in half with one strike. Why can't we handle this?"

The young man fell silent.

“Even the berserkers in the early stages can only knock you away. Broken bones can be healed with medication. What can’t we handle?” Shi Yin’s sharp gaze made the young man unable to lift his head. “If you have any problems, just say so. Is it a lack of equipment? Insufficient support? Or insufficient resources?”

"Or is it that your superpowers aren't cool enough, failing to satisfy your fantasies and fuel your ambitions? Or do you think that if superpowers are so powerful, why bother training? Don't you want to lift the weight of a machete?"

The words were so blunt and sharp that many people felt embarrassed and didn't know how to refute them.

In peacetime, their communication became more tactful and peaceful. Even when they were unhappy, they would consider each other's feelings. Shi Yin's sharp words made many people uncomfortable.

"You're not paving the way for your own future, are you? Forgive my bluntness, but I hope more than half of you are still here after the meteorite," Shi Yin sneered. "Do you even think you'll survive?"

"Moreover, the apocalypse is the end of humanity. You place your hopes on superpowers, have you thought about what you will gain?" Shi Yin waved the data in her hand: "In the past few days, we have artificially awakened nearly two hundred people, but only five of them have offensive superpowers. Ninety percent of them are auxiliary or useless skills."

"Are you paving the way for yourselves or tearing down the road for yourselves? The apocalypse hasn't even begun and you're already thinking about how to enjoy yourself?"

"Shiyin." The chief sat to the side and tugged at Shiyin's sleeve: "Don't use such harsh language."

With so many people sitting here, half of their faces were flushed red.

Too much rigidity leads to breakage; this is only the beginning, so we should be more lenient.

Shi Yin turned around in confusion; she hadn't swore.

Her eyes were beautiful, a pair of peach blossom eyes that shimmered with water. When she looked at him innocently, she looked like a fawn who knew nothing of the world. In fact, Shi Yin herself did not look very aggressive. Only at this moment would the leader realize that the girl in front of him was actually younger than his children.

"No, it's nothing, you can continue." The commander-in-chief dared not look directly into Shi Yin's eyes anymore, and could only shift his gaze to the documents: "Well said."

Oh well, what's wrong with the kid being a little tough? This world needs tough people to maintain order.

As for being gentle, he's not dead yet. If Shi Yin is forceful, he can just be gentle. What exactly is he trying to stop?

"Ahem, I think everyone may have misunderstood Miss's meaning." Nan Zhu coughed lightly.

His voice was soft and pleasant, like a gentle breeze, which relaxed the tense atmosphere of the people present. They all looked up and focused their attention on Nan Zhu.

“Personally, I think the key to the conflict is that everyone has different perspectives. In fact, we can think about it differently.” Nan Zhu said softly, “Weakening the presence of superhumans is for the sake of everyone here and people all over the world.”

Shi Yin: "?"

Me?

Commander-in-Chief: "?"

Are you?

Everyone's eyes lit up, their initial dissatisfaction dissipated, and expectant gazes fell on Shi Yin, who looked completely bewildered.

Shiyin chose to keep quiet.

“Have you all thought about this? Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Superpowered individuals are indeed strong and convenient, but in reality, they don’t make up the majority.” Nan Zhu looked at Shi Yin: “I remember, the percentage of superpowered individuals isn’t very high.”

“…Yes.” Shi Yin nodded: “At most, people with superpowers make up 30 percent of ordinary people, and 10 percent of them have offensive superpowers.”

However, this number is still quite large.

Take Yanlong Kingdom for example. Even if two-thirds of them die from the zombie virus, that's still about 100 million people. Even if only 30% are superhumans, that's still 30 million. Even if we reduce that by 10%, that's still 3 million.

However, the million-strong army is indeed a relatively small percentage compared to ordinary people...

"So, Miss is thinking of humanity. If people with superpowers are not controlled, ordinary people will have illusions about them and may even deify them."

"If that happens, we may be forced to grant privileges to people with superpowers. Privileges lead to corruption, and people with superpowers will shrink the living space of ordinary people. This is a lose-lose situation and not a long-term solution."
