◎This is one of your weapons◎
The last time (seven days ago) the hexagonal signal was detected, the received signal was enhanced, which had a more obvious stimulating effect on the virus and may have stimulated its evolution.
This statement seems clear and straightforward, yet it contains so many possibilities.
No one wanted to think of the worst, and they waited fearfully for Tian Yiwen to continue explaining.
"I think everyone knows that most of the zombies out there right now are regular zombies. Mutated zombies are rare, but they do exist," Tian Yiwen said, pointing to Rong Xiao's location. "The team members must have encountered them out there. The last time Rong Xiao went out, there were mutant zombies controlled by plants, as well as zombies that were faster and more ferocious."
No one could deceive themselves any longer. Someone in the front row speculated, "If the signal gets stronger, maybe those ordinary zombies will become mutant zombies. Will more and more terrifying and difficult-to-deal-with zombies appear?"
"That's right." Tian Yiwen confirmed his guess without any hesitation.
Yan Hehan was afraid that everyone still had a glimmer of hope, so he took the initiative to step forward and pull out a video from the computer.
That was the experiment he participated in when he was forced to stay in Ai Ta.
They captured an ordinary zombie and simulated the same signal to stimulate it.
The stronger the signal, the more painful the zombies looked. They were tied to the bed and struggled and screamed desperately. They were surrounded by people holding guns and three or two psychics who were ready at any time.
The zombie, who was originally of normal size and moving slowly, had blood vessels surging under its skin, as if something was crawling around. Finally, its muscles suddenly swelled, directly bursting one side of the restraint.
The zombie, who was an ordinary one before, suddenly mutated. Not only could you tell from his appearance, but his strength was also much greater than before. He easily tore off the restraints in two moves.
Fortunately, it had no intelligence and lunged forward howling. Without removing the restraints on its feet, its huge body fell to the ground.
Someone in the video quickly fired two more shots before the mutant zombie stopped completely.
There was a complete silence.
No one dared to think that if those ordinary zombies wandering outside that posed no great threat turned into this state, the world would probably fall into a new round of darkness.
Especially this huge shelter that gives people hope.
The stronger the enemy becomes, the greater the danger they pose.
The chief person in charge of the psychics hadn't spoken much since the meeting began. After listening to all the content and seeing the existing information on display, he adjusted his stiff sitting posture and spoke slowly.
"Actually, you already have a plan, right?"
If Tian Yiwen is helpless, when showing all this, she will emphasize that everyone should think and come up with a solution together.
From the beginning to the end, she was more like informing everyone of the current situation and letting everyone understand the situation of all mankind.
Tian Yiwen glanced at Yan Hehan and nodded firmly, but there seemed to be some secret hidden in her eyes, which made her feel slightly shaken.
"The vaccine can be put into production normally, but until that strange signal is resolved, the crisis won't be truly resolved," Tian Yiwen put her hand back on the PowerPoint presentation, switching to the last page. "The hexagon isn't actually receiving the signal. It's just a signal amplifier and transmission tool. The unidentified area that controls the hexagon and is closely related to it comes from this place."
Yan Hehan helped to draw a map with a red circle drawn on a certain location, pointing directly to a city area about 200 kilometers away from the safe zone.
"Actually, Ai Tower has been to this part of the city before," Yan Hehan emphasized, "but that place is very dangerous and we couldn't investigate further, so all investigations were completely interrupted there."
"Very dangerous?" Rong Xiao's curiosity was also piqued.
Yan Hehan sighed softly, his drooping fingers unconsciously clenched together, and after a moment he opened another folder.
There were a lot of videos in there, but they looked shaky, like some kind of documentary.
A large group of people in black walked into a city in an orderly manner. The streets were empty, and even zombies were rarely seen.
The environment seemed safe, but as we walked, terrible zombie roars suddenly broke out.
The camera moves quickly and sees a mutant zombie in a corner of the outer edge of an office building.
The team quickened their pace and set off. They had a clear direction and it seemed they had a goal in mind.
After turning a few corners, a huge, terrifying and strange thing was lying there quietly.
The thing was round, with an estimated diameter of over a hundred meters. Its surface was sunken into the ground, almost level with the surface, and it was impossible to tell how deep it was.
It looked like a round metal shell with a door-like entrance on the left side, wide open.
After the camera captured the entrance, someone in the team signaled them to go in immediately, but less than a minute after they approached, the situation around them changed completely.
A mutant zombie with atrophied muscles suddenly rushed out of the small entrance, and then all kinds of strange mutant zombies continued to appear around it, jumping out one after another from no one knew where, and began to chase the members of the team.
The camera was shaking so much that the hearts of the people watching were gripped.
Although there are not many bloody scenes, the screams outside the screen and the bloodstains on the ground are shocking.
In the stagnant shot that never moved again, after a long time, mutated zombies began to move around.
The appearance of those zombies has completely lost its connection with "humans". They have strange shapes and sizes. Some are even three meters tall, with bloated muscles and heads squeezed into a small piece on their shoulders.
In the past, simply encountering a mutant zombie was terrifying enough.
Who would have thought that there were so many scary things outside the signal source.
In addition to these mutated zombies that appeared out of nowhere, there were also many ordinary zombies that moved very fast.
Their bodies seemed to be unaffected by the length of "time" and their speed was so fast that when they ran near the camera, they would even scare the people in the front row to lean back.
The camera gradually became quiet and the progress bar ended.
Yan Hehan turned off the video. He and Tian Yiwen looked at the people sitting upright in the meeting, as if looking for hope in them.
This is all they can do, and the rest... is probably a cruel solution.
The chief superpower held the person in his arms and thought for a while, then met Tian Yiwen's eyes directly: "Actually, you plan to send people to that place to completely destroy the strange machine that fell and received the signal."
It is not a question, nor a temptation, but a summary and affirmative word.
Tian Yiwen lowered her eyes, as if she didn't dare to look at the psychic in front of her: "Yan Hehan and I have been thinking about this all night, and this is the best way. In the current situation, there is no other way."
"The most important thing is that we can't see the whole thing," Yan Hehan thought, clenching his fingers and lightly touching his lips. "If it's in the shape of a flashlight, with only the 'light outlet' on the surface, then it must be hidden deep underneath."
"If we can't destroy the device that receives the mysterious signal and then sends it to the hexagon, then we'll be completely defeated."
Everyone had a solemn expression, staring blankly at the projection which was now empty.
"I've got it!" Shangguan Huai suddenly raised his hand. "Let's find a drone, strap the bomb to it, fly it in, and then detonate it!"
When Ling Xi heard this, she clapped her hands excitedly: "Da Huai, you are so smart."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sigh came.
Shangguan Yu glanced at the self-satisfied Shangguan Huai and calmly emphasized, "Do you think others haven't thought of this idea? Since there are unknown devices there that can receive and send signals, there is a high possibility that they will affect the drone."
"Not only drones, but all other remote controls, walkie-talkies, and so on are unusable," Yan Hehan pointed at the projector. "The last video was taken by someone who risked their life to get in there and bring it out."
"Do I really have to exchange my life for it?" Shangguan Huai collapsed on the chair like a deflated mascot.
"If we want to succeed, we definitely can't go with fewer people," the chief superpower leader continued. "There are many mutant zombies, as well as a fair number of ordinary, but fast-moving zombies. Especially since no one knows what's inside that unidentified object. The worst-case scenario is that victory will be achieved by heaping up waves of lives."
The lip was bitten and it hurt a little, but pain can keep people awake.
Tian Yiwen hesitated for a long time before formulating her hypothesis: "If we force our way through the entrance, we're very likely to be trapped, which would be extremely dangerous. From the video just now, it's clear that there must be quite a few mutated zombies near the unidentified falling object. If we can lure them out and deal with them...we should focus on clearing them out initially, ensuring a certain level of safety before entering. That should give us a better chance."
"Auntie Tian, you mean, we should go there, right?" Rong Xiao, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly spoke.
Her tone was calm, just like when she was accepting an ordinary task.
But others are different.
This is not an easy task. There are a large group of mutated zombies and ordinary zombies with increased speed. If you make a mistake, there will be no return.
"I don't know how to decide this matter. I have plans and proposals, but..."
However, not everyone is willing to take risks.
Sending people there by force may not be useful. Rather than doing something extremely dangerous, some people would rather continue to wander the outside world. After all, they have superpowers and will not starve to death.
By then, there will be no helpers left and the safe zone will lose its combat effectiveness.
"Then... after explaining the situation clearly, take the initiative to sign up?" The person in charge of the psychics frowned and suggested, "But in this case, I can't guarantee the number of people."
Tian Yiwen nodded: "I understand, we can discuss this matter and decide later."
After turning off the projector, Tian Yiwen signaled the end of the meeting. The specific plan to be adopted still needed to be discussed.
Everyone who left had a sad brow, except Rong Xiao, who seemed unaware of the seriousness of the matter, and his face remained as relaxed as ever.
After those strangers left, Rong Xiao walked up to Tian Yiwen and called out, "Auntie Tian, is this serious?"
"I don't know if it's serious, but..." Tian Yiwen smiled and patted her head, saying patiently, "If the virus can be eliminated, the world can return to its original state."
The original appearance.
Rong Xiao couldn't help but recall the world and life he had seen in the hallucinations of Long Qingyu and the others before.
If there were no virus, everyone would live a normal and happy life, right?
Brother Long, Sister Xi, Brother Chuan, Shangguan, Brother Huai...
"Auntie Tian, I want to join the operation." Rong Xiao raised his hand to signal.
The people who were walking suddenly stopped, and every pair of eyes looked in Rong Xiao's direction.
Tian Yiwen's eyes were a little red, and there was a moist glow in them.
She walked up and gently hugged Rong Xiao. As soon as she opened her mouth, she choked up and swallowed the words back.
After her emotions had stabilized, Tian Yiwen tried to raise the corners of her mouth, smiled, and patted her head: "Silly child, this matter has not been finalized yet. Maybe you can think of another way?"
The seemingly comforting words no longer work.
Even Rong Xiao, who was the easiest to fool, did not change his mind because of Tian Yiwen's "comfort".
"If you want to go, I'll sign up." After Rong Xiao expressed his opinion again, he hurried to register his newly awakened superpowers.
I don’t know whether it was because of her great strength that allowed Rong Xiao to say these words so calmly, or because she was completely unaware of the crisis she would face.
The others left one after another, discussing what had just happened in a low voice.
Yan Jue and Yan Jing were about to leave when Yan Hehan stopped them.
"What are your plans?" Yan Hehan only looked at Yan Jue.
It seemed like he had simply excluded Yan Jing and only wanted to know Yan Jue's opinion.
Yan Jue suddenly smiled, his face nonchalant: "I'm not that great. Perhaps I should say that I'm rather selfish..."
"You don't want Rong Xiao to go?"
"Yes." Yan Jue answered without any hesitation.
But the certainty in his tone was inconsistent with the hesitation in his eyes.
"But if Xiaoxiao really wants to go, I will accompany her."
Yan Jing stood quietly by, his face not looking very good, staring at a certain place in a daze.
Yan Hehan noticed his strangeness and turned his gaze to Yan Jing: "What about you?"
After a few seconds, Yan Jing realized that he was talking to him and laughed out loud: "My superpower can't kill zombies. I can't even protect myself, so of course I won't join in the fun."
Yan Jing waved his hand, turned around and left, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
"I'm leaving first." Yan Jue also left.
Tian Yiwen was packing her things. Seeing Yan Hehan standing still, she stopped and asked, "Are you worried about them?"
"I know sometimes, people have to give up some things," Yan Hehan's lips trembled slightly, "but it's too difficult to face it calmly."
On the other side, Rong Xiao went to register her newly awakened superpowers. The staff member in charge of recording her superpowers looked at the list of superpowers in her file and was stunned again.
I ate something to fill my stomach for lunch and continued the afternoon training as usual.
The atmosphere today is different from usual.
In the past, we were always chatting and laughing, and during breaks we would even discuss some gossip about other teams that we had heard from others.
But today... no one spoke much, and everyone seemed preoccupied.
Only Fang Yi, Tang Yiyi and Meng Xiao, who did not attend the meeting, were in normal condition.
But the team suddenly became so serious that they realized something was wrong and did not dare to break the oppressive silence.
At present, this should only be an internal discussion. Many people don’t know about it. Even Lei Chao noticed that there was something wrong with this group of people today.
Just when he was about to say a few words of concern, Yan Jing, who had just finished training, was exhausted like a dead dog. He fell to the ground and gasped for breath to rest.
Lei Chao was scared back when he was about to say something, and quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"No...it's okay, I'm just...I'm just very tired." Yan Jing's eyes were dull and even his speech was intermittent, as if he was going to die in the next second.
Yan Jue was drinking water. He glanced at him coldly from the side and kicked him. "Did you take the wrong medicine? You're training so hard today. It's not like you usually do. You used to slack off whenever you could."
"I want to become stronger." Yan Jing looked at the sky with a firm tone.
Yan Jue didn't say anything for a while, then he got up and kicked him again: "Sometimes, people have to accept their own weakness. Becoming stronger takes time."
"Hey, can't you say something nice? Like, encourage your lovely brother who suddenly becomes motivated and wants to learn more, and become the strongest in the universe!" Yan Jing was not convinced, and he got up and started to pull Yan Jue's clothes while cursing.
The two of them were playing and joking, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became a lot more relaxed. Shangguan Huai suggested that they go out for dinner together, and Lei Chao quickly said that he would treat everyone to a big meal.
I had agreed to treat you before I left, but things happened one after another and it has been delayed until now.
Everyone went to the small shop they had been to before in a lively manner. The owner specially reserved the largest table for them. The table was next to the window, and they could see the night scenery outside. It was the seat with the best view.
Business in the store was a bit quiet, with only one or two tables of people.
As soon as they entered the store and sat down, the whole store became lively.
"I heard Xiaoxiao has awakened a new superpower?" Shangguan Huai couldn't help gossiping as soon as he sat down. "What kind of superpower is it? Xiaoyu and I made a bet! It's 50 yuan!"
Rong Xiao took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "What did you bet on?"
"I said it was a very cool and powerful ability, but Xiao Yu insisted it must be a non-offensive ability," Shangguan Huai said, shaking his head. "The abilities Xiao Xiao awakened before were all very aggressive, and this time it will definitely be the same."
"Actually..." Yan Jue wanted to kindly remind him, but Shangguan Huai stretched his neck out to be slaughtered, and his attitude was firm, so he could only smile and swallow his words.
"I've awakened my spatial abilities and the ability to penetrate objects," Rong Xiao said, putting an appetizer in his mouth. "So, Brother Huai, did you lose?"
"Ah - my fifty dollars!" Shangguan Huai wailed, holding his head.
Fang Yi, who was drinking tea, nearly choked to death. He coughed for a long time before recovering: "Then... my ability is the same as the captain's? Then... will I be transferred?"
Tang Yiyi laughed when she heard this, and patted his shoulder like a devil: "That's right, your ability is duplicated in the team, and it's no longer unique. Then you may be transferred to another team!"
"No!" Fang Yi blushed and waved his hands, taking her words completely seriously. "I don't want to leave everyone. I want to stay in this team."
Next door, Meng Xiao had already clasped his hands together and began to pray that Rong Xiao's next awakened superpower would not be the same as his.
"She's just trying to scare you," Tian Yichuang laughed. "If that's the case, Rong Xiao can be a team all by herself. Why would she need to lead a team?"
Only then did Fang Yi wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with relief.
The boss was shouting as the dishes were served. The atmosphere in the store was very good, as if we had returned to the days before the end of the world, and everyone was just living one of the many ordinary days.
Amidst laughter and joy, the hot pot in the middle was bubbling.
The air was filled with a faint smell of wine and a strong aroma of food.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, let's go out and take a look."
While everyone was joking with each other and drinking loudly, the people at the next table suddenly stood up and looked out the window. Their reaction attracted Shangguan Huai's gossipy glance. The next second, like a chain reaction, everyone looked out the window.
There is a lighted advertising screen directly outside.
On weekdays, advertisements for stores in the safe zone are broadcast, and the screen will only be switched in special circumstances.
At this moment, the advertising screen showed a serious face sitting upright.
Rong Xiao gradually stopped eating meat, and she recognized at a glance that it was the chief person in charge of the superpowers.
As usual, he was wearing a suit, sitting upright, with no smile on his face.
He stared at the camera quietly for a long time, as if waiting for everyone to notice him.
There was a Live logo in the upper right corner of the screen. Tang Yiyi excitedly grabbed Fang Yi's coat. "It's actually a live broadcast! Did something big happen? I heard that this kind of live broadcast is only broadcast when something big happens or there are important announcements."
After a few minutes, even people passing by in the square stopped to watch. Everyone did the same thing, staring at the advertising screen with their heads raised.
"Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Yang, the head of the safe zone's superpowered personnel. I'm going to tell you something very important..."
Cheng Yang had a serious expression and a straight back. He repeated word by word what he had discovered from the Ai Tower in an easy-to-understand way.
The solution proposed by Tian Yiwen was also mentioned.
After explaining all the situations clearly, Cheng Yang stared at the camera quietly for a long time and announced a voluntary registration method.
There are no restrictions for this mission. Both those with special abilities and ordinary people are eligible to sign up, but reasonable screening may be carried out later.
It seems that after the morning meeting, everyone discussed it again until the evening, but still no new solution was found.
The nightlife had just begun, but the safe zone was as quiet as late at night.
Everyone stood quietly, silently digesting what Cheng Yang had just mentioned.
The danger is extremely high, but for the future of the safe zone and the future of mankind, someone has to carry out this mission.
"Voluntary?" Shangguan Yu's sneer broke the silence in the restaurant. "Are you overthinking human nature? Who's willing to take this risk?"
"Sisi, where did it say registration is?" There was a couple sitting at the table next to us. The man shoveled the food on his plate into his mouth and spoke in a slurred voice.
When the girl heard this, she raised her hand and hit him: "What are you doing? You want to go? Haven't you heard it's dangerous?"
"I know, but the person in charge just said that the consequences of this are very serious. If no one stops it, the safety of the safe zone will be threatened in the future." The man's voice became increasingly quiet, as if he was concerned about the girl's feelings. "If it's not safe here, are we going to go out and wander around again? Besides, if all the zombies outside become mutant zombies, we won't survive for long without the safe zone."
"Bang!" The girl gulped down a glass of wine and slammed it back on the table. "I didn't say you couldn't go. I was scolding you, you idiot, for slacking off during training. Now you know how powerful I am? Didn't you hear there's a screening process? Haha, I'm telling you, I'll definitely be chosen, but you might not."
The boy blushed a little and asked hesitantly, "Did you write down the registration address?"
"Isn't it just... huh?" The girl was stunned. "No, which building, which floor, which number? I was so shocked just now that my brain couldn't really catch up."
"Main Business Building, 23rd Floor, Room 7." Rong Xiao's voice came faintly from the side.
The girl turned her head in surprise, smiled and waved at her: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Rong Xiao also responded with a bright smile.
"Will you go?" Yan Jue couldn't wait until after dinner to confirm it. He wanted to know her answer immediately.
"Of course." He answered without hesitation.
For Rong Xiao, it seemed as if she never had a second choice. After knowing everything, she decided that the only way was to move forward courageously.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Yan Jue calmly picked up the bowl and continued to eat, as if he had just agreed to have a meal together.
Suddenly, no one spoke at the table. Everyone was thinking about the news they had just heard and eating at the same time, but no one ate with any appetite, even Lei Chao.
The boss who was sitting at the door waiting for customers was also staring blankly outside, his hands on the armrests of the chair. The night wind gently blew his hair, making people suddenly feel lonely and desperate.
No one had much appetite, so to save Lei Chao's wallet, they went home separately after dinner.
The wind was very strong tonight, even a little chilly. Rong Xiao's face felt cold as he walked the short distance from the shop to his home.
Yan Jue didn't say a word along the way. He just held her hand quietly, turning his head to look at her tenderly from time to time.
Rong Xiao felt it all.
"Yan Jue, will you sign up tomorrow?"
Yan Jue glanced at the neighborhood behind her and said, "Let's go together."
"Auntie Tian said it's very dangerous there," Rong Xiao gently covered her heart with her hand, not looking into his eyes, not sure if she was avoiding him or thinking. "This is the first time I have a very strange feeling... I just don't want you to go."
"Xiaoxiao is worried about me?" A smile appeared on Yan Jue's lips.
Rong Xiao thought about it carefully and nodded gently: "In the past, I rarely considered the worst-case scenario. No matter what I encountered, I would give it my all. Although I always succeeded... However, this time, my premonition was not good. For the first time, I tried to consider the worst-case scenario."
"So what's the worst that could happen to you?"
"The safe zone is gone, everyone is gone, and you are gone too."
Yan Jue knew Rong Xiao's thoughts too well. These three results were unbearable pain for her.
If this really happens, Rong Xiao will fall into a dark abyss.
The thought of her being alone again, but continuing to live with her head full of memories of them... Yan Jue's heart ached as if it was about to be torn apart.
Yan Jue held her in his arms, kissed her hair lightly with his lips, and continued to caress her reluctantly: "I don't care about anything else, as long as you are fine."
"I will protect you!" Rong Xiao suddenly raised his head and promised loudly in a firm tone, "If I tell you not to go, you will definitely not go. So, let's go together, but I will protect you!"
Yan Jue didn't interrupt her, but hugged her a little tighter and nodded his chin twice on her head, as if agreeing with her suggestion.
There is no one who can only protect whom, and they will not let the other get into trouble.
The next morning.
Rong Xiao rushed to the address notified last night, hoping to register early as he had to rush to training later.
Who knew that while she was still at the intersection, she saw a large number of people crowded downstairs of the main building, forming a long, winding queue that looked like a coil of wool.
After searching around for nearly twenty minutes, Rong Xiao found someone who seemed to be at the end of the line, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Hello, where is this place... and what are we queuing for?"
"Sign up," said a middle-aged woman in line. She looked like a noblewoman, even her posture was particularly elegant. "It's... about the operation we talked about last night. You shouldn't be unaware of it, right?"
Rong Xiao was completely dumbfounded.
Are all the people lining up here the ones who registered?!
"I know, but why are there so many people? How long does it take for the line to move forward?" Rong Xiao anxiously jumped up and took a look. He couldn't see the end of the line. He didn't know whether the line started from the 23rd floor or from the entrance of the building.
The woman smiled smugly when she heard this: "Who told you to come so late? The team hasn't moved for over ten minutes. If you're in a hurry, come back at noon."
Rong Xiao looked at it again reluctantly and calculated the time left. If she didn't go to the training ground, she might not catch up. She could only come here again during the lunch break.
But after arriving at the training ground, it also felt strange, different from before.
Usually there are a lot of people coming at this time, the aisles are full of people coming and going, and the sounds of laughter and noise can be heard from every adjacent training ground.
But today it is as quiet as a deserted old forest in the mountains.
Rong Xiao pushed open the door of training ground No. 68. There was no one in the training ground. She waited for a while, but no one came until the usual training time.
After putting the backpack on the clip next to him and completing some simple warm-up exercises, Rong Xiao still didn't see anyone else.
Even Lei Chao, who usually arrives early, was nowhere to be seen.
"Xiaoxiao, you are here alone!" The door opened and Tian Yiwen walked in with a smile.
"Auntie Tian?" Rong Xiao quickly stood up. "Why are you here?"
"I called home and no one was there, so I knew you must be here." Tian Yiwen pulled her to sit down again, and her eyes were full of gentle smiles when she looked at her.
Rong Xiao glanced at the door again, but still no one came: "How strange, why didn't anyone come today?"
"When I came here just now, I passed by the main building and saw them all queuing there." Tian Yiwen replied.
Rong Xiao: “???”
This group of people just rolled up!
She was the only one who was acting silly and still thinking about today's training.
Rong Xiao was just about to get up to grab a good seat when Tian Yiwen stopped her and said she would take her to a place.
Although she was thinking about registering, she couldn't refuse Tian Yiwen's invitation and could only agree to her request.
The top management expanded Tian Yiwen's laboratory and sent Yan Hehan to work with her. All the experimenters brought back before were sent here.
Now their goal is to work day and night on the agreed plan.
"It seems like a lot of people signed up today," Tian Yiwen said, bringing Rong Xiao to her office and pouring her a glass of sweet milk. "But according to the current screening results, the number of people selected may be less than 5%."
"How do you screen them?" Rong Xiao asked curiously.
"Those with insufficient crisis response capabilities, special abilities, no special skills, and poor physical fitness will be excluded," Tian Yiwen said, raising her dark-rimmed face after taking a sip of coffee. "Those with special abilities will also be screened based on their abilities. Those with strong special abilities and combat skills will be preferred."
"Then...then I..."
"As long as you sign up, you will definitely be selected."
Rong Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I called you here today because I have another plan." Tian Yiwen held her hand, her calloused hand scratching Rong Xiao's skin slightly. "I want to try to train your ability to control your psychic powers so that you can send messages to all psychics."
After a moment of hesitation, Rong Xiao felt as if he understood, but also as if he didn't.
"Although some psychics in the safe zone have received the notice, those in other areas may not know about it. I hope to let more people know about this news so that more psychics can choose whether to participate in the plan."
"What do you want me to do?"
Tian Yiwen took her hand and led Rong Xiao to a seemingly empty room.
There seemed to be a slight smell here, as if it had just been installed, and it was pale. The floor-to-ceiling glass on the edge had several layers, which was very similar to Ai Ta's laboratory before, but more solid than that.
"Do you remember how you controlled others when you were in Ai Tower?" Tian Yiwen took her into the room.
Rong Xiao suddenly remembered that he had lost control, and his expression suddenly changed. "You want me to try again? What if I lose control again? I don't want... to get anyone hurt again."
"Silly child," Tian Yiwen knew what she was worried about and gently touched her head. "This is one of your weapons. How can you run away from it just because you're afraid it'll get out of control? You can try to slowly control it, let it help you, and become a truly effective weapon."
"Can I?"
"certainly!"
Tian Yiwen knocked on the glass next to her: "I deliberately added a few layers of thickness, so it's not a big problem, and the situation this time is not dangerous. Just treat it as a toy and let the feeling convey some information to you."
Rong Xiao didn't speak for a long time, but after careful consideration, he thought Tian Yiwen was right and decided to give it a try.
"Yan Jue and the other members of the team are not here now. Try to control and invade their consciousness and convey a message." Tian Yiwen snapped her fingers to indicate.
"What information?"
"Ask them to save you a good spot in the registration."
Rong Xiao was dumbfounded: "Is this all that's needed?"
"This plan can't be implemented so quickly. You still have some time to practice. There's no need to rush," Tian Yiwen patiently consoled her. "We can start with something simple and then expand the scope."
Rong Xiao nodded and started trying according to her instructions.
The dark pupils gradually began to glow white. Tian Yiwen, who was standing nearby and observing, immediately began to record, and the filming in the isolation room had also started.
Perhaps because this was not a critical moment, Rong Xiao did not lose control and the surroundings were calm.
She remembered that she did not enter the system world immediately that day, but the two consciousnesses resisted and struggled with each other for a long time before they finally entered the system world together.
A similar feeling emerged, and Rong Xiao could no longer see just darkness. He finally arrived in the system world.
The familiar cloudy sky, the deserted city...but...what's next?
"Xiaoxiao?" Yan Jue's surprised voice came from behind.
He was walking from a certain intersection, and he was not wearing the same clothes as last night.
"Did it succeed?" Rong Xiao said to himself.
"What succeeded?"
"Auntie Tian asked me to try controlling the consciousness of the psychic again. Once I become proficient, I will spread this plan to more psychics, hoping to attract more people to help."
Yan Jue was silent for a while, and couldn't help but said: "But, I'm waiting in line."
Aware of the world, he wasn't sure what state his body was in.
Fainted in the street?
Standing straight?
Or maybe just fall asleep standing up?
"What place is this? I'm so scared, Xiao Yu - are you there?" Shangguan Huai's voice also came out.
"Although it is indeed strange, could you please not scream so shamefully?" A cold voice interrupted Shangguan Huai's screams, and Shangguan Yu's voice also appeared.
Familiar voices rang out one after another nearby, and they all seemed to be directed in the same direction.
Finally, the entire group gathered in one place.
