"Zhou Jinchen?" Liu Kai looked at Zhang Hai in surprise.

After Zhou Jinchen returned to the safe zone, he handed over the method of stimulating superpowers and meditation methods to Mayor Zhou, but made a request.

Anyone who uses his method to activate their superpowers must sign an agreement with him to draw 400ml of blood every year and give it to someone.

This person was the one who taught him the method of stimulating supernatural powers and the method of meditation.

If you want to use the meditation method, you must sign an agreement and donate 400ml of blood every year.

In other words, by stimulating supernatural powers and meditating, each person consumes 800ml of blood per year.

I heard that Zhou Jinchen initially planned to draw only 400ml of blood, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind and started drawing blood every year, and the agreement was for thirty years.

Because Zhou Jinchen refused to give in, Mayor Zhou finally held a meeting and decided to find volunteers to test the effect and check whether there was any harm to the body.

After testing, it was found that directly activating superpowers would have certain risks, but the risks would be minimized if activating superpowers and meditating at the same time.

Because of Zhou Jinchen's stringent requirements, not everyone is willing to donate 800ml of blood every year to stimulate superpowers.

In particular, there were several people who were unable to activate their superpowers during this period.

Therefore, those who signed the agreement with Zhou Jinchen were basically members of the armed forces. Although some ordinary people in the safe zone had activated their superpowers, most of them were still watching and struggling.

In the armed team, no one was not curious about who the person who gave Zhou Jinchen the meditation skills was and what he needed so much blood for. Although Zhou Jinchen was carefree and a little silly, he kept his mouth shut when talking about that person and no information could be extracted from him.

It took Li Nan a while to find his voice again: "It's fake, right? Did you hear it wrong?"

Zhang Hai glanced at him and shook his head: "No, I remember it very clearly, it was Fan Xin."

When he was leaving the safe zone, he was stunned when he heard Fan Xin introduce herself.

Because the name Fan Xin is so special and sounds like "annoying", it is not easy to mishear or forget.

For a moment, the carriage was unbelievably quiet.

Zhao Ke scoffed, "So what if the meditation method is his? What does that prove? That he's powerful? Yes, he is powerful. Just because he's powerful, when someone used supernatural powers to block our way, he just sat in his car and watched? He watched us being trapped in the maze and beaten like monkeys?"

To be honest, this matter does make people feel uncomfortable.

No one spoke for a moment.

Wang Fei reached out and patted Zhao Ke's shoulder, comforting him: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. We are all fine, aren't we? We haven't lost any limbs, have we?"

Zhao Ke: “…”

He was so angry at Wang Fei that he almost fainted.

Wang Fei quickly retracted his hand after being glared at by Zhao Ke, and looked at Jiang Yiwen bewilderedly: "Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Yiwen chuckled and put his arm around Wang Fei's shoulder. "It's not wrong, isn't it? Although it was dangerous in the maze before, none of our injuries are serious."

He looked around and said, "When I woke up, everyone was still unconscious. Can you tell me what happened before you fell unconscious?"

Liu Kai's face turned unhappy when he thought of his previous experience in the maze. He was almost crushed by the huge boulder and his whole body was paralyzed and unable to move.

Fortunately, he gathered the surrounding wind to create an airflow above his body. The airflow circulated continuously, creating an air barrier.

At the time, he didn't know if it would work, but there was no other way.

The boulder was rolling towards him with a loud rumbling sound, but he could not move or avoid it.

Liu Kai gritted his teeth and supported the airflow. The boulder suddenly rose from the ground and was lifted up a little by the airflow. It seemed to jump down, passed Liu Kai, fell heavily to the ground and rolled forward.

The next moment, the soil beneath him caved in, burying him underground.

Liu Kai seemed to be buried alive, with the soil around him pressing down on him with tremendous pressure. If he didn't have wind-related abilities, even if he wasn't crushed to death, he would probably have died of suffocation.

But after holding on for too long, he felt a dull pain in his head, and his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.

The experiences of other people were not much different from Liu Kai's.

There are also some people like Jiang Yiwen, who were rescued by the vines, and then chased by the vines until their supernatural powers were exhausted and their mental strength was depleted.

After they finished speaking, their eyes fell on Xie Dawei and Luo Ningyi.

Luo Ningyi: "I was almost cut into pieces by the vines before, but then I don't know why the vines stopped moving, and then I met Wei Ge. After Wei Ge saved me, we were chased by many ice arrows..."

Without exception, everyone had their superpowers exhausted, their mental strength drained away and they were unconscious.

Xie Dawei was silent for a while: "I was trapped in a water dungeon before, and then I was rescued by Fan Xin."

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at Xie Dawei in surprise. He had never told him before that Fan Xin saved him. Moreover, if Fan Xin saved him, then how come he was chased by ice arrows before?

"But after saving me, he attacked me." Xie Dawei leaned back on the stool, folding his arms. "So, I started to think that might not be Fan Xin. After waking up from the coma and finding everyone here, I felt that it must be Fan Xin."

Zhao Ke immediately stood up, his face darkening. "Wait, you mean he's after you? Oh, okay, what does he mean? He thinks we're not miserable enough, so he wants to stab us a few more times?"

He seemed to have found an outlet for his anger and was completely furious.

"Don't get too excited, listen carefully to what's going on first." Liu Kai said.

Luo Ning lowered his head, thinking: "So, he used the ice arrow to attack us? No wonder..."

Liu Kai looked at Luo Ningyi: "What's the problem?"

Luo Ning was silent for a moment. "Wei Ge and I were both exhausted at the time. We weren't very proficient in our abilities, and our reaction speeds had slowed down. Many of the ice arrows were unavoidable, but sometimes I didn't have time to dodge, and the ice arrows would just grazed my skin, avoiding my vital parts..."

He also felt something strange from that time.

But there was no time for him to think about it.

After listening to this, Song Baisong hesitated and said, "So...she is deliberately training us?"

Zhao Ke opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Finally, he closed his mouth with a subtle expression.

Danger is sometimes the best teacher. When facing danger, people often inspire a strong will that they can't even imagine, and do things that they normally think are impossible.

For example, after this danger, their control over their superpowers is much stronger than before.

Moreover, this danger also taught them that there are many ways to attack using superpowers, and they can completely let go of their fixed thinking to use superpowers.

Li Nan pursed his lips, and flames rose in his hand, extending instantly into a whip of flames. This was condensed by his supernatural powers when he was trapped in the maze before.

He liked whips when he was a child and often played with them. After playing with them for a long time, he became very adept at using them.

When he was in the maze and had no weapons, he thought of the whip at the last moment, and somehow he condensed a fire whip.

Li Nan whispered in a complicated tone: "Maybe..."

Luo Ning looked at everyone's faces and said, "So... should we go and apologize?"

Sui Jing drove while looking at Fan Xin beside him.

Fan Xin leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, his expression calm.

"Aren't you angry when they say that about you?"

Fan Xin opened her eyes and said, "Everyone has a rebellious mentality."

So she wasn't angry, and there was nothing to be angry about.

Suijing: “Ha.”

Most people hope to receive care and comfort after experiencing life-or-death danger, being wronged, or being injured.

There is no care or comfort, and people start preaching and blaming right away, which is not acceptable to everyone.

Many people cannot accept it and will develop a rebellious mentality. Even if they think deep down you are right, they will still try their best to deny it and even find various excuses to refute it, which will make them angry.

She was well aware of this, but she didn't feel obligated to care for or comfort them.

It doesn’t matter whether you can bear it or not. If you don’t want to, you can just leave the team and go back to the safe zone.

The sound from the rear compartment came clearly to the front.

After dark, the armored vehicle slowly stopped.

Liu Kai stood up with the compressed biscuits and walked outside: "I'll go give them some compressed biscuits."

"Wait." Zhao Ke suddenly shouted.

Liu Kai turned around: "What's wrong?"

It was already this late, and they hadn't eaten anything because of what happened today. They were all very hungry and took out compressed biscuits from their backpacks to fill their stomachs.

Zhao Ke said with a straight face: "I'll go."

Li Nan paused after hearing this, then stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Liu Kai couldn't help but laugh, and patted their shoulders: "Okay, you two go."

Zhao Ke and Li Nan looked at each other, then looked away in embarrassment. They got out of the car with stiff steps, walked around to the front and knocked on the passenger door.

The car door opened, and Fan Xin looked down at them: "What's going on?"

Li Nan's face was stiff: "I came to apologize to you."

Apologize?

Fan Xin was amused, looking at his ugly face: "I thought you were here to fight me."

Li Nan: “…”

Sui Jing popped his head out from the side, revealing a gentle smile: "Want to fight? I'm itching to fight, and I'd be happy to have a sparring match with you."

Fan Xin twitched the corners of his mouth but didn't say anything.

Zhao Ke glanced at Sui Jing. He had a gentle smile on his face, but there was coldness in his eyes.

He handed over the compressed biscuits in his hand and said stiffly: "I'm here to give you some biscuits. Also, we were wrong about what happened before. We shouldn't have gotten angry at you. I'm sorry."

Li Nan also said, "I'm sorry."

Fan Xin glanced at the compressed biscuits. She had heard everything Zhao Ke said in the car before.

Honestly, it wasn't surprising that Li Nan apologized to her. But it was quite unexpected that Zhao Ke came over to apologize to her so quickly.

She took the compressed biscuits and weighed them in her hand: "I accept your apology."

Zhao Ke's tense expression relaxed a lot in an instant.

Li Nan pursed his lips and relaxed.

After watching them leave, Fan Xin stared at the compressed biscuits in his hand, then stuffed them into Sui Jing's hand and said, "Here's a reward for you."

Sui Jing stared at the two compressed biscuits in his hand and smiled: "Thank you for the reward, I will treasure it well."

Fan Xin supported his chin and thought about what skills those superpowers had in his previous life.

The next day, at dawn, Fan Xin woke up the armed team.

The sky was dark, the wind was blowing, and it was so cold that it felt like you were not wearing any clothes.

The ten-man team stood in a row, like green pines.

Fan Xin stood in front of them and asked, "Does anyone know what superpowers are? How are they formed? And how can they be used?"

The ten people looked at Fan Xin in confusion. They thought they were going to do some training, but Fan Xin started asking questions right from the start. Why did it feel like a class?

"No idea?" This was expected. After all, two years before the apocalypse, humans were still in the exploratory stage of supernatural powers.

"Have you read novels about cultivating immortality?" Fan Xin put his hands behind his back and said, "Supernatural powers are elements. The gold element is the gold element, and the fire element is the fire element..."

"So, when you use your superpowers, feel free to use your imagination. You can use elements to communicate in different forms. Don't think it's unscientific. The apocalypse is approaching, and superpowers appearing is already unscientific."
