"They are not human."
The middle-aged man's voice was hoarse as he closed his eyes in pain.
In just one month, he had given up the idea of resistance.
Even though his feet were no longer bound, he still didn't dare to step out of the room.
That third-tier ability user would walk around the room one by one every morning.
The oppressive aura emanating from him was terrifying, making it hard for people to breathe.
The black blood syringe, the humans who occasionally turn into zombies, and the confined space—even the most determined person would lose the will to resist.
Bai Xizhu's dark eyes dimmed for a moment as she stared intently at the crystal core placed beside the bed.
This crystal core is just an ordinary crystal core, not even a first-order one.
The crystal core emitted a faint white light, and the entire crystal core was crystal clear and pure in energy.
The energy in the brains of ordinary zombies is mixed with impurities. When absorbing supernatural abilities, these impurities need to be removed in order to make the energy work for oneself.
The crystal nucleus that is absorbed by "high-quality seeds" is the crystal nucleus in the human brain.
Such crystal cores are easier for superhumans to absorb, allowing them to enhance their abilities more quickly.
That third-tier ability user must have absorbed human crystal cores to improve his abilities so quickly.
They use the crystal cores in the brains of ordinary superhumans to nourish those superhumans who are more capable of breaking through, in exchange for maximizing profits.
It may seem like you're at a disadvantage, but you're not.
For those people, all they need to do is gather some people with superpowers.
Those with supernatural abilities who can elevate their social class are considered "seeds".
Ordinary superhumans who lack the ability to improve are used as "nourishment".
They don't even spare ordinary people; they can use them as food for the zombies.
A third-tier crystal core is being sold for an astronomical price on the black market. For those people, sacrificing a few ability users in exchange for a second-tier or third-tier crystal core is worthwhile.
Bai Xizhu took a deep breath, her anger reaching its peak.
In my past life, the research institute captured and studied people with superpowers; in this place, they capture people with superpowers to obtain crystal cores.
Humanity's greatest enemies should be zombies and mutated animals, but now it has become humanity itself.
