"Fully activate your superpower? You mean the superpower usage level is 10?" Ye Yuansong immediately realized: "No wonder you explicitly forbade it, it turns out it could kill people."
“Superpowers come at a price, and the stronger the power you use, the greater the price. 10 is the peak.” Shi Yin nodded.
"Then why not just tell the soldiers there are mirror zombies?" Ye Shaoheng didn't understand. "If you don't explain and just suppress them with rules and orders, they'll easily talk bad about you, right?"
Ye Shaoheng felt somewhat dissatisfied when he recalled the slanderous things some people had said about Shi Yin.
Those people are really something. Their current peaceful lives are all thanks to Shi Yin, yet they express their dissatisfaction behind Shi Yin's back because she doesn't let them use their full strength, making their battle a little more difficult.
Fortunately, this dissatisfaction and opposition only started at the beginning. Later, after everyone got used to it, things got much better.
“We can’t do that. Ignorance is bliss, and not knowing is happiness.” Before Shi Yin could speak, Ye Yuansong had already refuted Ye Shaoheng’s words: “If we tell everyone about this, the only consequence will be that no one will dare to fight.”
“Yes, no one wants to face themselves; only you can defeat yourself. The protagonist of this statement is the same in reverse.” Shi Yin agreed, saying, “The development of this kind of situation must be controlled by the state.”
“If we tell them about this, many people will be hesitant and afraid to fight. They probably won’t even recognize the number 3. No one will be unaware of a thief.” Shi Yin said calmly, “As for the expenditure reaching 10, it is actually very difficult for a superhuman to use this standard. Reaching a superhuman’s power level of 10 also requires a certain amount of willpower.”
"A high-intensity burst of superpowers will put the human body in a state of superpower assimilation, but at the same time it means the collapse and dissolution of the human body itself. The superpowers dissipate after losing their carrier, and the human will naturally die."
Oh, no wonder.
Ye Shaoheng stroked his chin, indicating that he understood.
"I won't explain this. It's to prevent people from being afraid to die and not risking their lives in crucial moments," Ye Yuansong asked.
"Well, being willing to break the rules and being willing to die are two different things." Shi Yin didn't say more, leaving it at that.
If people are willing to sacrifice a portion of themselves for their teammates or their country, then if the cost is reduced to merely breaking the rules, the number of people would double.
"No wonder." Ye Yuansong sighed softly, "Now I know why you told me in the beginning that I should cover my ears when I stand next to you."
Of these two points, the first one can at least be called "for their own good," but the second one is clearly out of fear that some people are unwilling to die.
"Isn't this deception?" Ye Shaoheng was a little confused. "It's like giving medicine without explaining the side effects, isn't that a bit much?"
"It's not good, I lied to them." Shi Yin's lips curled into a strange smile: "When did I say I was a good person?"
“But I think Sister Yin is a really good person. Even though she doesn’t explain, she’s actually doing it all for our own good.” Ye Shaoheng blinked, his eyes full of trust. “Besides, there’s no need to explain. Everyone will abide by it anyway. Explaining is just too much trouble, right?”
"I understand, I understand." Ye Shaoheng patted his chest, clearly having already prepared an excuse and a way out for Shi Yin in his mind.
“However, reaching a power level of 10 doesn’t necessarily mean certain death; there are exceptions.” Shi Yin glanced at Ye Shaoheng: “Some people’s powers are imbued with the talent for evolution.”
"Evolution?" Ye Yuansong paused for a moment, his eyes flickering as if he had thought of something.
"When a person is lucky enough to have this superpower, and at the same time has a strong enough willpower, the human body will not break down when the superpower reaches level 10, but will evolve."
"Therefore, the standard for the use of superpowers that had already reached the limits of human beings may only be a primary form after evolution, becoming between 1 and 2 in terms of superpower use, returning to a safe range."
"You can do that?" Ye Shaoheng was shocked.
“That’s just how superpowers are. I asked you a long time ago, what do you want? Superpowers are the crystallization of desires, a cheat code that the world has given you.” Shi Yin looked ahead and slowed down her pace.
The SUV slowly came to a stop, and the Black Bat Prison was already in sight, with swarms of zombies surrounding the castle-like prison.
However, these zombies probably don't belong to the zombie army. They look incomplete and ragged, more like nearby residents who were deliberately attracted here, forming a natural barrier.
On the city wall, a boy and a girl sat there, smiling, watching the SUV approaching from afar. Their heads were close together, their faces full of innocence.
"Let's get out of the car. With so many zombies rushing over, it'll be difficult to get through using just the car." Shi Yin stopped the car on the spot.
There are too many zombies ahead, and there's a wall not far away. If we rush to the end, we can eliminate a lot of zombies, but the car itself will be wrapped up like a dumpling, and we probably won't even be able to open the car door.
Shi Yin didn't want to damage such a nice off-road vehicle.
“Grandpa, you don’t have any special abilities, let me do it.” Ye Shaoheng was the first to get out of the car and jumped out first.
They were still some distance from the dense horde of zombies, and could vaguely hear some kind of noise coming from the Black Bat Prison, like music, which was why the zombies were all facing the direction of the Black Bat Prison.
Just as Shi Yin stopped the car, the noise inside the prison suddenly stopped. Without the guidance of music, the zombies were momentarily confused.
They slowly turned their heads, refocusing their attention on the direction of the off-road vehicle. They could feel the presence of flesh and blood, and the breath of living people, so close at hand.
Ye Shaoheng had already gotten out of the car. He wasn't wearing his professional combat uniform, but only a simple civilian short-sleeved shirt that revealed his muscular build.
Ye Shaoheng was born with a resolute look and clean, sharp facial features. He wasn't particularly fair-skinned, and his smile had a wild, unrestrained quality.
He stretched his shoulders and neck, and as he moved, his bones crackled slightly. A wisp of flame, like a snake, coiled around his body and, with Ye Shaoheng's soft shout, transformed into armor that adhered to his body.
The armor looked very light and not much different from ordinary combat clothing, except that it was slightly thicker and had a dark metallic sheen. It didn't have the imposing presence of the armored warriors on TV.
Only the blurry, intricate dark red patterns printed on it indicate that this is not an ordinary suit of armor.
Ye Shaoheng dreamed of having a superpower with amazing special effects and a cool entrance. When this superpower first came out, he was depressed for three whole days.
Indeed, compared to ordinary cool attribute-based superpowers, his armor looks rather unremarkable, even less impressive than some combat armors that can be redeemed from the system shop with enough points—those look much cooler.
Unfortunately, Ye Shaoheng's special ability is armor, which means he can't wear an extra suit of armor.
Putting aside the fact that it's not cool, the armor itself is very strong.
Although Ye Shaoheng has limited brain capacity, he is quite skilled. As the youngest captain, his strength must be outstanding. And this armor can greatly enhance his physical functions.
Compared to those who simply enhance physical strength or possess speed abilities, this armor provides a more comprehensive boost to the human body, offering all-around improvement, and can change according to the wearer's will.
Moreover, the armor itself is extremely hard, providing excellent protection while also balancing temperature, resisting both cold and heat, and the mask can also protect against poison.
It can be said to be a very comprehensive melee combat ability.
