Chapter 199 Mutation
Lin Xi was shocked. "How is that possible? You are already so old!"
Qi Mo's face darkened, and he said depressedly: "I'm only twenty-six!"
Lin Xi smiled, "Don't be angry, I didn't really mean you were old, but I've hardly heard of anyone awakening superpowers at this age. The last time I told you about it before you turned thirty, I was actually just trying to comfort you."
"Basically, after the age of 25, there's nothing possible."
She asked curiously, "What type of superpower do you have?"
Qi Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. I think it should be a force field."
"I can be free from the control of gravity, and I can also increase gravity. In short, I have this ability."
Lin Xi's eyes widened. "Oh my god, this ability is awesome. It's not controlled by gravity. You should be able to fly now."
Qi Mo nodded and said, "I tried it at home last night. I didn't dare fly too high, but it can fly anyway."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "I have to talk to Director Wang right away."
"Because people with special abilities possess abilities beyond those of ordinary people, the state will regulate them. They can either join a special ability research institute to serve the state, or sign an agreement promising not to use their special abilities on ordinary people."
Qi Mo was very excited, "I'm willing to join the Institute of Superpowers, so that we can go on missions together in the future, and I can protect you if anything happens."
Lin Xi smiled at him, dialed Director Wang's number and turned on the speaker.
Director Wang simply said, "That's perfect. If he's willing to join us, have him come to the institute and go to Dongshen Mountain with us."
Lin Xi was a little surprised that Qi Mo had superpowers, but Director Wang was not surprised at all.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What exactly are we going to do in Dongshen Mountain? How long will it take?"
Director Wang said, "I can't say how long it will take. I'll tell you when we get to the institute."
Lin Xi looked at Qi Mo, who pondered for a moment, "Then let's go to your office first and see what Director Wang says."
Lin Xi picked up the suitcase and said, "I'm going to go back first, pack my luggage, and tell my mother."
"If you plan to go to Dongshen Mountain, you should also pack your luggage quickly."
After returning home, Lin Xi transferred some books that she planned to read during the holidays from her suitcase into the space, and reorganized her clothes and other items and put them into the space as well.
Coming out of the room, Lin Xi looked at Lin Fenfang apologetically, "Mom, I have to leave soon. A tomb complex has been discovered in the northwest, and I want to go with my teacher to excavate it."
Lin Fenfang asked in surprise: "Just leaving? Then when will you be back?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "I don't know yet."
Lin Fenfang was unhappy. "The New Year is coming soon. We can't celebrate it outside."
Lin Yuan had been on vacation at home for a long time. Seeing the embarrassment on her sister's face, she quickly persuaded her mother, "Mom, my sister is going to do something important, so please don't interfere. Didn't we all oppose her participating in "Extreme Survival" before? What happened?"
Lin Fenfang didn't say anything.
Lin Yuan held onto her mother and said, "My sister is not destined to be the kind of child who will stay with you and the family. She wants to spread her wings and fly high. You still have me. I will accompany you during the New Year."
Lin Fenfang sighed and waved to Lin Xi, "Alright, go and focus on your studies. You'll be out here, exposed to the elements, so please take care of yourself and stay safe."
Lin Xi walked up and hugged Lin Fenfang and then Lin Yuan before leaving.
Qi Mo had been waiting outside for a long time.
Lin Xi saw that he didn't bring a suitcase, "Aren't you planning to go to Dongshen Mountain?"
Qi Mo shook his head. "Of course I will go, but I still need some time to arrange things at the company. I'll have to wait a day or two."
"Let's go to your superpower research institute first."
Qi Mo drove the car himself. The two of them arrived behind the security department, parked the car outside, and entered through a small door at the back.
Lin Xi scanned the iris and went in with Qi Mo.
After entering the building, Lin Xi found that the institute was empty. She walked all the way to Director Wang's office but didn't see anyone.
This is really strange.
Normally, even if there is a mission, they won't come out in full force.
The office door was open, and Director Wang and Mu Qingzhou were both inside.
Seeing the two people come in, Director Wang said, "There are two things, but these two things can also be said to be one."
"First, more than a month ago, a villager's cow was lost in Dongshen Mountain. The villagers went into the mountains to look for the cow, but they never came back."
"The army over there went into the mountains to look for people and found dead villagers. Only their heads were still intact, and their bodies had been eaten by wild beasts."
"This is a normal occurrence, but what's unusual is that the army discovered some mutated plants and animals in the area where the villagers died."
"Rabbits are bigger than humans and can be quite aggressive."
"Not only rabbits, some animals have also mutated."
“The proportion is about one in five.”
"Even plants have mutated, and some have become aggressive."
Lin Xi frowned, "Is it only the area around East God Mountain?"
Director Wang waved his hand. "After the military reported it, scientists quickly went there to measure the magnetic field and found that it was abnormal in that area."
"The institute also sent people over there, and they brought back shocking news. In that area, supernatural powers are improving very quickly."
"You also know that it is very difficult to improve superpowers unless you directly absorb the crystal core."
"Our country still uses some of the cultivation methods passed down by Taoism to continuously improve."
"After the people sent there returned, they underwent physical examinations and found nothing abnormal. So, now everyone in the institute has gone there to practice cultivation."
"That's not the most crucial thing. The news I received is that the magnetic field of the entire planet has changed, and the energy has become stronger. Recently, the number of people with special abilities has also begun to increase. More than a dozen have been discovered across the country."
"Among the soldiers guarding East God Mountain, more than twenty have awakened their special abilities."
"It's probably because it's close to East God Mountain."
Qi Mo said in a deep voice: "So, my awakening of superpowers is also due to the relationship between magnetic field and energy?"
Director Wang nodded seriously, "The energy in East God Mountain is stronger than in other places, but it's clear that the entire planet is changing."
Lin Xi was stunned. "Does this mean that this planet is about to usher in a new era?"
"Humanity began to evolve?"
Director Wang sighed, "This is clearly an era fraught with crisis."
"Not to mention that there will be more and more people with special abilities, there will also be more and more mutant plants and animals on this planet. The crisis that humanity will face will be unimaginable."
"However, the good news is that thermal weapons are still effective against those mutated animals."
"But, I can't say for sure what will happen in the future."
“It’s just beginning to evolve.”
Lin Xi murmured, "What will this planet become?"
