He was the first one to come and sign up, and he was the one who didn't even write a suicide note. He just picked up the crystal and swallowed it.
He had been waiting to die, waiting until the sun beat down on his forehead and back, but he never turned into a zombie. Instead, a breath of energy slowly emanated from his body, rising from the soles of his feet. No, that wasn't right. He seemed to have an inextricable connection with this earth.
That invisible attraction made him want to get closer to the earth, closer to this moist land.
Standing in place, he simply kicked off his shoes and socks and put his feet directly on the ground.
Soon, the people standing next to him stared with wide eyes as the middle-aged man grew taller and taller. No, they saw the ground below arching him up.
A cylindrical earthen platform directly raised the middle-aged man by several meters.
"Super...superpowers!"
"There really is a supernatural power?! No way?"
"Oh my god, if I had known I would have signed up!"
Countless people watched as the middle-aged man played with the soil beneath his feet in countless different ways.
Lao Jia - the middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at the soil under his feet. He made a high platform, which quickly turned into a cube. Finally, after he was startled, it dispersed again and turned into a pile of mud.
He stood there again, looking at everything that had just happened in surprise, and had not yet turned around.
"What happened just now?" he asked the person next to him.
However, the young man next to him had no time to pay attention to him. At this moment, the little soldier who had eaten the crystal began to grow countless sharp thorns all over his body, and each thorn almost pierced the person next to him.
Everyone standing next to him moved away from the little soldier, and soon, the little soldier turned into a ball of black hair.
But it's not entirely a ball of hair. Apart from the black thorns that grow out of it, which appear to be solid, the inside is like a black shadow, seemingly without any substantial form.
What is this?
Lao Jia looked at the black ball of hair and didn't know how to describe it for a long time.
The changes did not only happen to the two of them, but others also began to transform one after another.
A person's body began to become so soft that it seemed as if there were no bones left. It turned directly into a soft ball like dough, spreading on the ground.
Some people's bodies began to turn green, and they looked as green as the cucumbers growing next to them.
Not only those who started to develop supernatural powers were surprised, but the people standing not far away were also looking at them in surprise.
"Look, that one has also deformed, it looks like a stone."
"Look, doesn't that man look like an animal? I think his face is starting to get deformed."
"If I had known earlier, I would have participated in this experiment." Standing not far away, a young man watched with some regret as he watched those people undergo changes.
But before he could finish his words, the person next to him slapped him in the face.
"Oh, Mom, why did you hit me?" The young man looked at his mother beating him in front of everyone with some anger.
"I'm beating you, you unfilial son. Whatever you eat, I tell you, you are not allowed to eat it in this life. Is that still a human? It's a monster. When the time comes, you will definitely be sent to the laboratory and chopped into pieces."
When the young man's mother heard that her son had such thoughts, she immediately stopped him.
"I was just talking!" The young man dodged when he thought of his mother's expression.
Many people were interested, but some, like the mother, worried that these people would become experimental subjects and be sacrificed. Others were even more worried about the consequences of this mutation.
Not everyone has the courage to transform themselves into someone else.
Of the fifty people, only ten eventually developed superpowers. The only one who didn't experience any noticeable changes was Old Jia, the one who initially manipulated the earth.
Many of the onlookers, after seeing this, gave up. It would be nice if they could become like Lao Jia. Even if they didn't change, it would be fine. But everyone else was worried about becoming something that wasn't human. Would that still be human?
But only a small number of people thought so. Some people were immediately interested when they saw that the crystal did not turn into zombies after being consumed.
The worst case scenario is that you don't have any special abilities. But what about the best ones?
If they have superpowers, doesn't that mean they have an extra guarantee of survival in this world?
Those who had witnessed zombies devour entire cities were more concerned about their future survival. They immediately became interested in acquiring some of these crystals, hoping to gain strength if they encountered zombies and had no time to dodge. Would consuming the crystals give them the power to survive?
