At night, after a sweet and tender moment, Xiao Yi's index finger played with Yu Wei's hair, his voice still lazily filled with satisfaction: "I won't be at the base often in the future. If you want to come, you can come anytime. I will contact you as soon as I come back."
Yu Wei forced herself to open her eyes despite feeling sleepy. "Are you going to carry out WeChat's mission again?"
Xiao Yi pressed her shoulders down and let her lie down: "Well, you should also pay attention to safety at the base. There is no movement from Chen Bai for the time being, so stay away from him and take care of yourself." Yu Wei obediently snuggled into Xiao Yi's arms and fell asleep in a short while.
Xiao Yi's guess was correct. This special supernatural selection was only open to those in the military. Even Fan Zun probably heard about it and was recruited. People like Yu Wei and the others were probably safe for the time being.
The probability of awakening superpowers is less than one in ten thousand, and most people still need to rely on technology to survive. Xiao Yi carefully gathered the quilt around Yu Wei's shoulders and fell into a deep sleep.
At seven in the morning, the alarm clock woke the two of them up on time, and they got up and washed together. Breakfast was a McMuffin chicken burger and an Angus beef burger with soy milk. In addition, Xiao Yi packed a backpack of snacks for Yu Wei. There were apples and oranges that were very durable, as well as melon seeds, peanuts, chocolate fruit candies. Xiao Yi even thought of small things like sanitary napkins for Yu Wei. The backpack was full, and Xiao Yi was not at ease until it was full. After the two of them had breakfast, Xiao Yi carried the backpack and sent Yu Wei to the door of the Botanical Research Institute before leaving reluctantly.
After returning home, Xiao Yi changed into comfortable clothes, a windproof jacket on the outside, and a black shoulder bag on his back. He locked the door and went to the top floor. It was exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, and there was still an hour before everyone's ability development was completed.
Upon his arrival, Xiao Yi saw that nearly everyone was there, waiting to witness this event that could be said to have changed human history. But that wasn't entirely true. The once-brilliant and dazzling Chinese civilization, with its countless heroic legends, was truly nothing ordinary. Those vanishing things, those reappearing supernatural powers? Who could easily conclude that there was no connection?
Out of respect for the powerful, everyone looked at Xiao Yi respectfully as he appeared. They made way for him. The man sitting next to Wu Jie also gave up his seat for Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi naturally didn't hesitate and sat down. Then he took out a thermos from his bag and drank coffee.
When drinking coffee outside, people will be jealous, envious, and even want to kill you. But not here, everyone's abilities determine it. This little thing is not worth being jealous of, let alone making a big fuss. At most, it's just a little greedy.
Xiao Yi finished his cup of coffee, and the last bit of sand in the hourglass fell. The tightly locked doors slowly opened. A group of soldiers approached from a distance. They were wearing the same light blue uniforms Wu Jie and his men wore, also with a badge on them. After a day and a night of transformation, everyone's clothes were either smelly or so tattered that they could no longer cover their bodies. Along with their clothes, they also brought their own luggage and simple toiletries.
Half an hour later, all 500 people who had completed their transformations stood in the hall. Standing on the podium in front of the crowd were Wu Jie, Xiao Yi, and others. The 39 people who had previously arrived, plus Xiao Yi, made up a total of 40 people. Those who had completed their transformations wore wristbands belonging to the special supernatural team. These wristbands not only stored contribution points and enabled communication, but also included video calling and location tracking. These wristbands were specially approved for use by the supernatural researchers at the Supernatural Research Institute. Even the local area network for communication was specialized.
After everyone registered, Wu Jie began to identify people from the list. Fire power, water power, ice power, plant power, earth power, speed power… Wu Jie nearly stuttered as he read. Xiao Yi leaned over and saw another psychic power. Looking down, he saw a familiar face: Fan Zun. Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh, "A golden fish is not meant to be kept in a pond. Even the awakening of a power is so brilliant." After Wu Jie's surprise, he continued…
After a while, it stopped again. A space-related ability appeared, but it was still relatively small, only about 100 square meters. Space-related abilities are somewhat useless in combat, but they are also very indispensable. These people with abilities always need to eat, carry ammunition, drink water, etc. Even if they are extremely strong and don't feel tired, it is still very annoying to clean up these things every time. With a space-related ability, it is like a mobile warehouse, which is very popular in any team. Of course, when the fourth space-related ability appeared, Wu Jie was not so surprised.
By the time all 500 people had registered, six spatial abilities, one mental ability, and one rather strange one had emerged. It wasn't a lightning or fire ability, but the object it launched from its palm could easily penetrate a steel wall over a meter thick. Its power was astonishing, comparable to a quantum nuclear weapon. Xiao Yi couldn't help but reveal a look of envy. The person with this ability was a relatively young boy, and Han Mingming had already been the first to approach him.
As soon as registration was finished, lunch arrived. Today's lunch was exceptionally sumptuous, featuring braised pork, stir-fried bean sprouts, broth, and rice. Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely. While eating, everyone introduced themselves to each other and took the opportunity to test their abilities, like whether water from water-based abilities could be drunk, and whether plant-based abilities could allow them to grow fruit and eat besides controlling plants. …
