However, during his subsequent experiments, he discovered that the success rate was not high. So he began to explore and found that when the crystal core entered the human body, it would be rejected. In addition, the sudden appearance of superpowers caused many people to die because the human body could not withstand it.
Because this is unlike those who acquire superpowers on their own, who only wake up with matching superpowers after undergoing a period of physical modification.
Therefore, being a half-superpowered person is a gamble. If the superpowers match, it is easier to survive. If they don't match, you either die or turn into a zombie.
His success was truly a stroke of luck; the crystal core just happened to be a perfect match for him, and it came from an unlucky zombie that had just mutated and been killed, so its energy wasn't very strong.
As for the reduction in the energy of the crystal core, Mr. Wu learned about it from his friend. When a superhuman absorbs the energy of the crystal core and then implants it into the human body, the mortality rate is greatly reduced.
Their current experimental goal is to implant the entire crystal nucleus so that the human body can use it normally.
However, for some of the earliest recipients of the crystal core, its drawbacks have begun to emerge. For example, Mr. Wu has found himself becoming obsessed with blood and sometimes unable to control his urge to taste human blood.
So he immediately left his original place and came here to try and solve the mystery.
The music and dance on the experimental platform now represent his hope! It is also his expectation of having superpowers and surviving.
While everyone was focused on the music and dance, the basement door was opened, and a group of people in military uniforms walked in.
Because Yuewu had told Ji Ye all the passwords beforehand, they had no trouble getting through.
When Ji Ye and his companions actually saw the people locked in the cages, they were still shocked, especially by the fact that some of the test subjects were people and zombies, which they found hard to accept.
At the crossroads, they split into two groups. One group went to rescue the original leadership, because they would be needed to take charge of the overall situation after overthrowing the external forces.
Ji Ye led the remaining people to rescue Yue Wu, and they headed straight for the laboratory.
However, the moment the laboratory door was opened, Ji Ye saw an incredulous face.
Wu Xunrui didn't expect Ji Ye to come here, and Ji Ye didn't understand why Wu Xunrui was involved with the Knee Lab.
But this did not prevent both sides from attacking each other immediately.
Instantly, chaos erupted in the laboratory hall as researchers frantically searched for places to hide.
As the superhumans continued to unleash their powers, fire, lightning, plants, and other phenomena flew everywhere.
Yuewu can now hear sounds from outside, but she still hasn't regained control over her body.
Ji Ye's side had a significantly higher level of superpowers than his opponent, so the situation quickly became one-sided.
Wu Xunrui also discovered this situation, and most importantly, he and Ji Ye would become strangers from then on.
Because Ji Ye was completely opposed to his experimental ideas from the beginning, and he promised not to do them, the two reconciled.
But the more this happened, the more competitive he became. Why couldn't he do it if Ji Ye disagreed?
He was clearly the smarter one, getting into a prestigious university for his doctorate and becoming the youngest academician, yet he still couldn't compare to this incompetent person, simply because Ji Ye had a powerful background.
In this apocalyptic world, he hadn't awakened any superpowers, while Ji Ye possessed both mental and lightning-based superpowers. How ironic! He couldn't compete in business, and now he didn't even have a life-saving superpower. He was like a useless piece of trash, only able to beg for protection from others.
He doesn't need such protection; he can possess superpowers on his own.
But I can't beat them, I simply can't beat them. That's the difference in strength, hahaha.
Wu Xunrui suddenly burst into laughter, but as he laughed, his eyes began to change, slowly turning white.
Ji Ye immediately warned everyone, "Leave Wu Xunrui, he's turning into a zombie! Quick! Leave!!"
Many people didn't know who Wu Xunrui was, so before they could react, Wu Xunrui grabbed the person closest to him and bit his neck.
"Mmm, it smells so good, I've been wanting to try it for a long time." With blood dripping from his neck, Wu Xunrui was completely letting loose.
His body is also changing; you can hear crackling sounds as his bones and muscles evolve.
At the same time, his hands unleashed different energies, one a fireball and the other a lightning ball. He roared with laughter, "I finally have my own superpower! Hahaha, hahaha!"
"Ji Ye, weren't you always so proud? You flaunted your dual abilities in front of me. Now I have them too, and I even have the zombie physique that you lack. What do you have to compare with me?"
Ji Ye: ......
The only thing I can hear is music and dance: Is this person's brain really that badly poisoned? There's no cure for them.
Ji Ye also believed that Wu Xunrui was beyond saving. Just as he was about to bite the second researcher, Ji Ye released his level four mental power without mercy. Almost instantly, Wu Xunrui knelt down.
How could his current zombie-like abilities compare to Ji Ye's already level four superpowers? But he still believed his deduction was correct, after all, he had already implanted three level four crystal cores, and he was sure he could defeat Ji Ye.
However, the truth is that he is nothing.
Unable to accept it, he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He cried and laughed at the same time, muttering, "It's still the same, haha, it's still the same. I can never compare, never compare!"
Wu Xunrui struggled to lift his head and look at Ji Ye, who was continuing to exert mental power on him. Tears washed away the blood from the corner of his mouth. "If, if there is a next life, would you still be willing to be my brother?"
Ji Ye simply looked at him calmly without answering.
Wu Xunrui smiled sadly; he already knew. "It's better not to have a next life. I'm tired."
After saying that, he plunged his hand into his right heart and pulled out the four crystal cores. In his final moments, he threw away the three level-four crystal cores and held tightly to the white one, because it was the one Ji Ye had given him at the beginning.
In the laboratory hall, all the leaders of the research institute and Chaoyang Base were subdued.
Ji Ye didn't dwell on Wu Xunrui's sadness; instead, he immediately went to rescue Yue Wu.
When Xiao Yi saw Ji Ye arrive, she removed the barrier, so Ji Ye could easily carry Yue Wu out.
At this moment, in the square of Chaoyang Base, the former leadership had already told all the soldiers and residents about the underground laboratory conspiracy. In addition, many missing soldiers and ordinary people were rescued, and everyone understood that such a bloody truth was hidden under the office building.
After rescuing Yue Wu, Ji Ye took her directly to the cause-finding base, where he treated her and prepared a surprise for her.
