In the first year of the apocalypse, just after the Ghost Festival, the night disappeared forever, and the polar day made its dramatic appearance. A huge full moon hung high in the sky, like a giant open pupil, eerily looking down at the earth, which, combined with the red sky, was chilling.
From that day on, water became a crucial resource that everyone fought over. Even the monsters began to monopolize the water resources. As a result, the water resources available to the survivors gradually decreased, and those with water-based talents became highly sought after by both monsters and humans.
Unlike other bases or guilds, the small town of Sulo suffered little damage. In fact, because everyone worked hard to catch up on the work, they even turned on the air conditioning to cool down in the heat. The entire city of Sulo coin circulated in Sulo, and the town was self-sufficient and well-fed, which was quite different from the outside world.
"Mengyu, this is for you."
Placed in front of Meng Yu was a pure white designated breakthrough (awakening) gene fluid. Because of Feng Haobo's team, Su Luo exchanged one bottle each of the seventh and eighth layer gene fluids for them to study, while subtly implying that there seemed to be a transformation relationship between the monsters and humans.
Contrary to Su Luo's expectations, the old professor burst into tears upon hearing Su Luo's words, holding Su Luo's hand as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Later, Feng Haobo told Su Luo that his grandfather had long suspected something was wrong, that there was some kind of connection between humans and strange creatures. However, there were no experimental samples or data, and the research lab had been destroyed, so the idea remained just that—an idea—and was never realized.
Now that they've met Su Luo, Su Luo not only supports them but even took the lead in proposing this idea. He also rebuilt the laboratory and even gave them two legendary potions that they've never seen before, potions that can stimulate the awakening of human talents. What a terrifying existence that is!
A potion that can awaken and break through human talents—wouldn't that mean one could create an army of talented individuals?! Feng Haobo and the others were quite surprised that Su Luo was willing to reveal such a secret, but at the same time, their understanding of Su Luo's magnanimity reached an unprecedented level.
This is the kind of leader they should have in this apocalypse!
Compared to those upper echelons who only know how to fight for power and suppress dissent in their own bases, regardless of the lives of others, Su Luo is many times better!
Thinking of this, Feng Haobo and the others expressed that they must give Su Luo an explanation and would never betray Su Luo's trust in them.
As for the one in front of Mengyu, it was exchanged for her separately by Su Luo. In addition, there was the gene fluid that was previously decided to be used to enhance the strength and awaken the power of several main characters.
Fortunately, she got a lot of points from Ye Qinglan, which was a good thing amidst the bad. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have that many points to exchange for these gene serums.
Looking at the white, boiled water-like substance in front of her, Yao Mengyu held it in her hand and examined it for a few moments, somewhat puzzled.
"This thing can enhance your water-type talent."
As a veteran water-type talent user in the small town, Su Luo preferred to give Yao Mengyu a boost rather than giving her the items to other later water-type talent residents.
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, Yao Mengyu's eyes widened as if she had heard a fairy tale.
Enhance your talent?
Is that what she meant?
Talent skills can actually be improved?
Yao Mengyu felt her worldview was shaken, and her hand holding the gene serum trembled slightly.
"However, unexpected pain or other dangers may occur during use," Su Luo instructed. "Think carefully before you drink it."
Su Luo thought these words would make Yao Mengyu think about it more, but to his surprise, Yao Mengyu's eyes immediately reddened after hearing Su Luo's words. Her lips moved but she didn't say anything. She raised her hand, lifted the cap of the tube, and drank the 'cool boiled water' gene liquid inside.
In an instant, a sharp pain struck. Before Yao Mengyu could even cry out, the empty tube in her hand fell to the ground. At the same time, outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dark clouds filled the sky, giving the impression of a devastating downpour.
this……
Su Luo stepped out of the hut and looked up at the area gathered around the hut, with the edge of the town as the radius. The changing sky attracted many townspeople.
'Drip, drip.'
One point, two points.
It started as a light drizzle, but quickly turned into a downpour, accompanied by a sudden flash of lightning that struck the area.
It's raining?!
Everyone looked up at the sky and then at Su Luo's little house, thinking that the little house, being at the center of the storm, was probably a miracle created by Sister Su.
After a long drought, rain has finally come. In the sweltering heat and under the long daylight, many people have begun to revel in the rain. Some have even brought out pots, pans, and utensils for washing their faces and feet to collect water!
Watching the residents frolicking around, Su Luo smiled faintly and returned to the hut.
The pain had subsided, and Yao Mengyu collapsed to the ground, her body twitching slightly as she gasped for breath, seemingly still dazed.
As soon as [Red Eyes] was activated, a note clearly displaying the skill's name came into Su Luo's view.
[Torrential downpour].
The rain poured down.
The name of this skill is exactly like a rain god in the apocalypse!
This widespread rainfall naturally caused a stir in the surrounding area, and many strange creatures, unable to bear the heat, also gathered there, wanting to get some rain.
At the same time, at Noah's Ark base.
"That location... is it in the direction of Shanshui City?"
After a long absence, Commander Wu, his face grim, looked at the dark clouds that were faintly visible in the distance, and the torrential rain. He tapped the table and said, "This fluctuation should be artificial rain generated by a talent skill."
"Now that the polar day has arrived, water is an essential resource for our survival. With such a powerful water-based talent, we need to find this person. If they are unwilling, we cannot force them," Old Master Lin said slowly, but his words subtly steered the conversation in another direction.
"Old Master Lin is being a bit too soft-hearted," Chief Wu sneered. "That's right, he's too old to do it, so... we shouldn't hold onto it. We should give the younger generation a chance."
"Chief Wu, please watch your words." Lin Shuyu, who had just entered the conference room, heard Chief Wu's words as soon as she stepped inside, and immediately spoke up with a cold expression.
There was just heavy rainfall over there, and now the base is holding a meeting. Anyone could guess that it's related to the rain in the direction of Shanshui City.
That's the direction of Su Luo's hut. You don't need to guess to know that Su Luo caused this commotion. Given the current situation, it's likely that someone has ulterior motives.
Glancing at the gloomy-faced Chief Wu, Lin Shuyu felt that his guess was correct. At the same time, recalling what Su Luo had recently told him, he had a feeling that a bloody storm was about to unfold...
"Hehe, Captain Lin, you flatter me. What I mean is that in the current situation, we need more high-level water-type talents."
"Perfect timing, the official announcement came out, I think they'll be interested in the heavy rain in Shanshui City."
