day to day.

Even the most ordinary person with the lowest talent and the most mediocre abilities will have their body undergo subtle changes after repeatedly consuming the flesh and blood of strange beasts.

A few days later, even the most talented refugees, who had no chance of awakening before, successfully awakened the most basic superpowers with the continuous replenishment and activation of the flesh and blood of the alien beasts.

Although this superpower is weak and insignificant, it may be negligible in the eyes of the awakened.

But at least their physical functions have reached the level of awakened beings, and they are no longer as weak and sickly as the refugees.

Zhao Mutou, whom Li Yu had once brought into the team, also seemed to have greatly improved after recently consuming a lot of the flesh and blood of strange beasts.

So much so that Ma Yuanbai felt a chill when he saw Zhao Mutou's cold eyes.

Zhao Mutou's eyes were cold and deep, like a lone wolf lurking in the cold night, exuding a dangerous aura that made people's hearts tremble.

After lingering on Zhao Mutou for a moment, Ma Yuanbai did not step forward to ask any further questions, but instead allowed Zhao Mutou to freely use the resources and weapons of the Seventh Regiment.

This action surprised Zhao Mutou slightly, as he was astonished and taken aback by Ma Yuanbai's trust.

Ma Yuanbai turned and paced, watching the crowd devouring the flesh and blood of the strange beast, secretly wondering to himself:

This may be one of the reasons why there are so many awakened beings in Zhongzhou.

He didn't believe that Lin Han was the only one in the world to awaken such a superpower, and Li Yu was definitely not the first person to use this ability to cultivate awakened individuals.

It's likely that the Central Plains authorities discovered this method of mass-producing Awakened Ones long ago, which is why they were able to continuously cultivate so many Awakened Ones to serve as law enforcers.

No wonder those law enforcers from Central Plains weren't particularly strong, but their numbers were numerous.

The power of the Central Plains government is indeed not to be underestimated; they must have already begun using this method.

It is likely that by now, the number of Awakened under the official banner has reached an astonishing scale, already spreading to every corner of Zhongzhou.

Ma Yuanbai subconsciously glanced at Heisha in the group, and Heisha looked back at him as well.

They all clearly realized that it would be very difficult to find out the truth behind the destruction of Feiyan District.

at this time.

In the exquisite courtyard in the center of the water town, Fu Xiyao woke up on a large bed.

She stared quietly at the comfortable, soft bedding, but her mood did not improve; instead, she felt particularly down.

Fu Xiyao originally didn't want to live here, but Yun Shuining, the daughter of the Water City Lord, suddenly changed her behavior after discovering her relationship with Li Yu and launched a crazy offensive to win her favor.

Yun Shui Ning is polite and gentle, and she always thinks of Fu Xi Yao in everything she does, only wanting to become good friends with her.

This was something that Fu Xiyao, who was always swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force, found hard to refuse. Unable to resist Yun Shuining's earnest invitation, she had no choice but to agree to be friends with her.

Just yesterday, Yun Shui Ning, in the name of a good friend, warmly invited her to stay with her.

She had even thoughtfully arranged a separate room for Fu Xiyao. Yun Shui Ning's eyes were full of pleading, hoping that Fu Xiyao would stay for one night out of consideration for their good friendship.

Fu Xiyao couldn't refuse any longer and had no choice but to agree.

That's why Fu Xiyao woke up in this big bed today.

However, Fu Xiyao's low mood was not due to these things, but because she felt that she was becoming less and less helpful to Li Yu.

Her meager strength disqualifies her from even participating in Li Yu's battle.

Getting close to the battlefield is difficult enough, let alone helping Li Yu in battle.

Now Li Yu is going out alone, which must be for her safety, so she doesn't take her along.

The root of all this is that my Awakened level is too low and my strength is insufficient.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiyao sighed deeply again, her eyes filled with helplessness and disappointment.

She smiled bitterly to herself, realizing that she really couldn't even compare to Xiao Hei, at least Xiao Hei could accompany Li Yu on her adventures.

Just as Fu Xiyao was immersed in slightly bitter thoughts, a crisp and pleasant knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Ta-da!"

Yun Shui Ning, who was outside the door, gently pushed open the door and saw that Fu Xi Yao had already woken up, so she quickly went inside.

She didn't know why, but lately she always liked to spend time with Fu Xiyao.

This girl seemed to possess a kind of magic that deeply attracted her.

Yun Shui Ning held a crystal ball in her hand, seemingly wanting to share it with Fu Xi Yao.

She had barely come in when she eagerly showed it to Fu Xiyao, her face beaming as she said:

"Fu Xiyao, this was left to me by my mother. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"

Fu Xiyao smiled as she accepted the crystal ball from Yun Shui Ning and examined it carefully.

To her surprise, she discovered that the crystal ball seemed to contain a vibrant and lively water world. In this wondrous world, there was an intricate gear structure, and a delicate little doll was sitting obediently on it.

Moreover, Fu Xiyao could also sense that the water inside the crystal ball was completely different from ordinary drinking water, and instead bore some resemblance to the continuous rain in the sky above.

Fu Xiyao's heart stirred, and she gently activated her supernatural ability with her fingers.

In an instant, the water inside the crystal ball began to ripple gently, and the tiny gears, under her control, slowly began to turn, emitting a cheerful and melodious sound that echoed in the small room.

When Yun Shui Ning heard the familiar music playing, she froze on the spot.

This was her favorite sound when she was a child; whenever this music played, it meant her mother had returned.

Yun Shui Ning always thought that the crystal ball had broken ever since her mother went to the big city.

Because no matter what energy method she tried to use to activate the crystal ball, it did not react at all, and it became nothing more than a decorative object.

Yun Shui Ning looked at Fu Xi Yao seriously; no wonder she had always felt that the other party was extremely kind.

At first, I thought it was a psychological reason, but I didn't expect it was because Fu Xiyao had a similar aura to her mother.

"You...how did you do that? You actually made it move?" Yun Shui Ning asked, her face full of surprise and delight.

"Only my mother can make the crystal ball ring."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyao seemed to think of her mother's love as well.

Her fingers gently caressed the crystal ball; she sensed the emotions within it, and a tenderness appeared in her eyes.

"The water element in this crystal ball is very special. Your mother must be a very special person to express her love for you in this way."

"love me?"

A tear suddenly flashed in Yun Shui Ning's eyes.

She didn't understand why her mother would leave without saying goodbye if she loved her. Was the Twelve Cities of Zhongzhou really better than Shuicheng?
