Chapter 72 Conversation
Gu Cheng was silent for a while.
He was unable to refute Luo Qin's conclusion.
Before the rainstorm, some doomsday rumors were rampant on the Internet, and he thought it was just hype.
Just like 2000, 2012, those kinds of speculations about special times.
For some religions, there are also many prophecies about the end of the world, usually speculations in scriptures or murals, which give people endless imagination.
Netizens like novelty and pursue niche and unique things. Who would have thought that what was originally a doomsday discussion on the Internet would actually turn into reality?
Gu Cheng also sighed tiredly.
After all, no one can see the people affected by natural disasters more firsthand than these rescue team members.
There are people who died in the rainstorm, people who died in the earthquake, and countless people who are homeless, facing a shortage of food and medical resources, and on the verge of losing control of order.
Moreover, this situation is not just happening in one region or one continent, but is a problem for the entire world.
Every country has no time to care about others and is caught in a difficult situation of self-rescue.
At the same time, due to the impact of the volcanic eruption, the communication function of orbiting satellites was severely damaged, and only the intact power lines and optical fibers in some local areas could be barely used.
The occurrence of disasters and the loss of communication functions have turned cities into isolated islands...
Luo Qin pursed his lips and continued, "According to the instructions from our superiors, we must continue to actively build the base while being prepared to deal with long-term disasters."
"The volcanic eruption is not the end of disasters. In the future, there will be other unpredictable disasters. We must now unite all forces we can to unite the people and actively prepare for whatever lies ahead."
Speaking of this, Luo Qin's eyes showed firm belief.
"Yes, General." Gu Cheng looked solemn.
At the same time, Luo Qin did not forget the purpose of meeting him here.
"Gu Cheng, you are the second person in our base to awaken special abilities. You should be able to sense that ominous premonition."
Gu Cheng nodded.
"Yes, when I use my superpowers, I feel something chaotic and complex. I don't know what it is, but it feels very strange, like a creepy existence."
"That's right."
Luo Qin raised his hand, and a sharp, cold cone condensed above his black glove.
Under the light, it reveals gorgeous and angular blue facets, acting as both a sharp weapon and a creation between reality and chaos, emitting an invisible oppressive force.
Especially when it appears in human hands, it gives people a sense of disharmony.
"I feel that as time goes by, I have become more and more proficient in mastering this ice-based ability, and I can increasingly feel its powerful force."
"However, the emergence of superpowers is not accidental."
Luo Qin's expression became serious.
"I guess this is a kind of evolution that humans have undergone in response to environmental changes. Only in this way can ordinary people better adapt to survival and survive."
Unexpectedly, Luo Qin said something shocking.
Gu Cheng was silent for a long time before he accepted this shocking fact.
"And mine too?"
As he thought about it, a group of sturdy green vines with an eerie glow emerged from the center of his palm and the ground. They were so densely packed that they looked like something that would appear in some fantasy magic movie.
These vines obey his control and can attack and tear the enemy apart at any time as long as he gives the order.
"That's right."
Luo Qin looked at the vine in his hand. It seemed different from his own, but he could also feel some strange fluctuations.
"The reason for this ability still needs to be studied by researchers, but what we can confirm now is that it poses no threat to the human body. Furthermore, the probability of humans developing superpowers is extremely low. So far, five people, including you and me, have developed this ability within our base."
"The other three are refugees who were transferred here."
Gu Cheng nodded, calculated the current total population of the base, and had a clear understanding of this ratio.
"It's indeed rare. If this is the evolution of humans, it's a bit too cruel."
In the end, Luo Qin also planned to tell him an important thing - this was the secret told to him in person by the mysterious psychic named Su You.
"At present, there shouldn't be many people who know this secret, but you have to be more careful."
"What secret?" Gu Cheng was puzzled for a moment.
"When a psychic dies, their powers will be lost and can be picked up and absorbed by others. If someone dies, you can pay attention to this in your subsequent actions, and at the same time, keep this secret."
"What?"
Gu Cheng's pupils were shocked for a moment, and then he slowly reacted and realized this unacceptable fact.
This means that becoming a mutant is not absolutely safe.
If this secret were known to others, even those with superpowers might be taken advantage of when they are weak and their lives would be in danger.
The loss of control caused by natural disasters has not yet ended, and the struggle between humans is about to continue.
"Okay, General Luo. I understand."
"Did she tell you this, too?"
Gu Cheng quickly realized that General Luo had only known about his supernatural powers for a short time and might not know about such things.
Apart from Su You, there is no other person with superpowers that I have come into contact with recently.
Luo Qin nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right."
Gu Cheng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. "Although she saved you and the base, and told us these secrets, she really has no other requests?"
He didn't think that someone who knew such a big secret would be willing to give it selflessly, and he must have put forward some conditions.
Luo Qin put away his supernatural power and pursed his lips. "She took away Tu Biao's supernatural power and took away his body."
Gu Cheng widened his eyes slightly: "You mean, Su You got that special ability."
"Didn't you say that according to the subsequent on-site inspection, she possessed at least three people with special abilities. She also took away Tu Biao's special abilities. Who is she and what does she want to do?"
Faced with this series of questions, Luo Qin was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"She is at least a familiar space-based esper with a complete base that is even more comparable to ours. During the time I disappeared, the hospital she was in was well-equipped, fully functional, and had adequate medical care."
"Besides saving us, she's also shown her willingness to cooperate with us. She plans to restore order in the mountainous area where the resort is located, establish a base for survivors, and accommodate the affected people."
"By the way, Gu Cheng, she said she needs a general who can train the army and help her build a team. I plan to arrange for you to go there, what do you think?"
"But General, there are not many people with special abilities in the base right now. If I leave here, what if something happens again?" Gu Cheng hesitated.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about that. Since the two bases have established diplomatic relations, she has also expressed her sincerity to us."
As he spoke, Luo Qin took out a black crystal card from his jacket pocket. In the reflection of the light, the words "Luo Qin" appeared on the card.
"This is..." Gu Cheng thought thoughtfully.
