"Uh, what appeared last night was a centipede, super big, with so many legs, it was terrifying to look at. We woke up early this morning and got to see it for a while."
The research institute checked and found out it's poisonous and inedible, but the birds of prey seem to love it, so the giant centipede suffered a terrible fate last night.
The superhumans collected the dead centipedes to keep as snacks for their birds of prey, storing them in their storage space so they could eat them whenever they wanted.
Su Zheyu couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the giant centipede he had seen the night before.
The giant centipede had a body even larger than a grasshopper, and looked like a winding black mountain range, tens of meters long.
Each segment is covered with a hard, iron-like shell that gleams with a cold luster and looks even harder than a katydid's shell.
Its back is also covered with a dense array of sharp thorns, all of which are poisonous. Being pricked by them causes intense pain, and the toxins spread rapidly until the person dies.
Its head is ferocious and enormous, with blood-red eyes about the size of light bulbs, filled with cruel killing intent.
Its open mouth revealed rows of incredibly sharp teeth; before the apocalypse, very few people dared to say they had ever seen a centipede's teeth.
The legs extend from the head to the tail, arranged neatly on both sides of the body; they are long, thick, and very powerful.
The ends of their limbs also have barbs that trigger the protective barrier when they crawl, producing a piercing sound that makes your ears tingle.
"When Brother Xuan and the others came back this morning, they said that they first used their superpowers to fight last night, and then they released the raptors to fight."
They were so excited that they spontaneously swelled up in order to swallow the whole centipede.
Brother Xuan also brought us centipedes, saying they were little gifts for our raptor battle pets.
However, we still need to keep the shells and send them to the research lab. The raptors are very careful; they obediently leave the shells aside and only eat the meat.
Although Su Zheyu was not involved, he could already imagine what the scene would be like.
"The birds of prey hunted like madmen. Of course, it wasn't a one-sided crushing victory from the start. The centipede's enormous body meant that it fought back and forth with the birds of prey."
Later, the birds of prey became so enraged that they swelled up and completely overwhelmed the enemy. However, the swelling was achieved using the supernatural power of their contract master.
Some of the superhumans were completely drained by the contracted raptors and almost passed out. Luckily, they had superhuman replenishment fluids, otherwise, things would have been terrible.
Fang Xiyue spoke as if he had experienced it firsthand, but in reality, he had summarized it from the chat in the group. Su Zheyu was quite disappointed that he hadn't seen it with his own eyes yesterday.
He only had time to catch a glimpse of a shadow when he got up; the battle was already over.
Tonight it's their turn to go out and fight, and he's quite looking forward to seeing what will happen.
Jin Muze and Xiao Zihan listened to their conversation silently, while constantly serving food to Fang Xiyue.
Fang Xiyue also ate happily, and the more she ate, the better she felt the meat was. She felt all her fatigue disappear.
"Didn't you feel warm all over after eating this meat?"
Fang Xiyue wasn't sure if she was just imagining things, but she really felt warm all over, as if she was about to break a sweat.
"Warm? No, I don't think so." Su Zheyu felt around for a moment but didn't notice anything wrong.
Xiao Zihan also tried to feel it, but didn't feel any warmth either.
Everyone turned their attention to Jin Muze, who didn't like eating meat, so he didn't know about grasshopper meat.
He took a bite amidst everyone's expectant gazes, and said, "It really does feel warm and cozy; the meat must carry some kind of energy."
Jin Muze was pleasantly surprised. If this stuff contained energy, consuming it might help them upgrade their superpowers.
"Why don't we feel anything?" Su Zheyu took another bite, but still didn't feel any warmth.
Xiao Zihan also took a bite and nodded, "Could it be that it works on specific superpowers?"
Fang Xiyue thought about the four of their special abilities and said, "It's possible that because you two have fire-type abilities, your bodies are naturally hot and you can't feel it. I have both fire-type and ice-type abilities combined, so I can feel it."
This is probably the most reasonable explanation. Jin Muze doesn't have fire element, so he can sense it too.
"Let's go, let's go to the research lab and let Brother Mo take a look." Su Zheyu got up, took the dishes to the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher, then couldn't wait to put on his coat and pull Fang Xiyue out.
Xiao Zihan and Jin Muze were also curious about the reason, so they put on their coats and followed.
When they arrived at the research institute, Ye Ziming was having breakfast, and they were also eating grasshopper meat.
At this moment, someone else also raised this feeling, and Ye Ziming also felt it, "I suspect there is something here, let's go check it out."
The group didn't even eat; they just put down their bowls and rushed into the lab. So, when Fang Xiyue and the others arrived, they didn't see Ye Zimo; they only saw him busy through the window.
However, a researcher named Cheng Xuanyu told them that they had discovered energy in the flesh. Since they already knew this, they didn't necessarily have to see Ye Zimo.
"Could you please measure my body data?"
Su Zheyu told Cheng Xuanyu that they had to have their physical data measured every month in order to see if there was any possibility of improving their superpowers.
"Okay, come with me." Cheng Xuanyu was also curious whether eating this meat would cause any changes.
Su Zheyu lay down inside the machine, and his physical condition could be seen on the large screen outside.
In the past, the examinations showed that the superpowers were slowly moving around in the body, but today they saw that the superpowers were operating very rapidly, as if they were in a super-fast race.
"What's wrong with them? They seem to have been injected with chicken blood!"
Fang Xiyue really couldn't understand it. She guessed that the superpower in her body was in the same situation. No wonder she felt hot. It turned out that the superpower was running inside. How could it not be hot?
"It's not clear yet, but we don't seem to be feeling any discomfort, so this should be a good thing. I suspect this meat can help us break through our superpowers."
Cheng Xuanyu only had a preliminary suspicion, but more data was needed to determine the actual situation. They had only eaten grasshopper meat for one day and couldn't see anything yet.
The centipedes from last night are inedible, so they still need to eat grasshoppers today. We'll see if we can give them something edible tonight.
"Then you guys keep testing, and let me know the results as soon as possible."
Fang Xiyue felt that if this really worked, she might be able to break through to level 12 in her superpower. Level 12 superpower was already very powerful, and she would definitely be even more formidable after breaking through.
"Okay, I will report the results to the commander as soon as possible."
Cheng Xuanyu nodded, his tone filled with excitement and anticipation. If it really worked, they would have made a breakthrough, since they had been researching the potion to break through the limits of superpowers for a long time.
