After all, zombies, like humans, have an evolutionary process. In the early stages, combat strength is the most important factor, as only those with combat strength can survive to the end. In the later stages, combat strength becomes less important, as zombies gather into an army, and the smarter zombies are more likely to rise to the top.
In short, Cheng Sui may not have lived to that point; he might have already died at the very first step.
Cheng Sui: "..."
It feels like they're insulting her, saying she's brilliant but physically disabled.
"Anyway, I'll just be careful and avoid getting infected with the zombie virus, right?" Cheng Sui thought for a moment: "The Apocalypse Intelligence Bureau's notification says that people with superpowers won't be infected. Is there a way to artificially awaken them?"
"Yes, but the probability is low and the mortality rate is high." Shi Yin said frankly: "Generally speaking, people who successfully awaken their superpowers do so because they already possess superpowers. It's just a matter of when they awaken them. Even so, the mortality rate for artificial awakening is as high as 60% or more."
"If they don't have any special abilities, the mortality rate can be over 90%."
To gain power, one must pay a price; this is an immutable principle.
"Furthermore, I don't recommend that ordinary people awaken their superpowers. If you want to live a good life, it's better to become a spark." Shi Yin snapped her fingers, turning all the zombies in the corridor to ashes.
"More than 80% of the survivors who were carefully protected in Project Fireseed were ordinary people."
"Why?" Cheng Sui didn't understand. "Wouldn't having superpowers make it easier to survive in the apocalypse?"
"If you have gardeners and seeds, you need fertilizer. Superpowers are life-threatening." Shi Yin said matter-of-factly, "Ordinary people have the lowest probability of death. Moreover, the mortality rate of artificially awakened superpowers is high. The mortality rate of turning from a superpowered person into an ordinary person is 0."
Taking a step forward is as difficult as climbing to the sky, while taking a step back is as easy as going with the flow.
Of course, if you want to go out and start your own business, we won't stop you. You can choose to be one of the five factions or go out to survive in the wilderness. It's up to you.
"So, where do we go now?" Cheng Sui stood up and followed Shi Yin, feeling her legs were a little weak.
"Let's go see where they're lying in ambush for me." Shi Yin walked ahead confidently, casually taking a book from the bookshelf.
I don't know who put this book here. It looks out of place among the other books on the shelf. It seems like a fairy tale book. It looks like someone secretly brought it over and just left it here. It was lost before they could take it away.
"What a new book!" Shi Yin smiled, but from Cheng Sui's perspective, Shi Yin's smile had a slightly eerie quality.
"Sui Sui, what do you think happened here?" Shi Yin handed the book in her hand to Cheng Sui and walked ahead at a leisurely pace.
Cheng Sui: "What did you say?"
"What do you think happened here?" Shi Yin pushed open the glass door of the library and locked it from the outside.
Unless it's opened by someone, it's virtually impossible for zombies to get in this time.
"No, I meant the previous sentence." Cheng Sui took two quick steps and grabbed Shi Yin's sleeve: "The previous sentence, what did you say?"
Shi Yin was stunned for a moment.
Then Cheng Sui saw a clean and pure smile gradually spread from the corner of Shi Yin's lips, illuminating her entire face.
In a daze, the falling leaves seemed to restore everything to normal. Suddenly, Cheng Sui felt very scared. She felt that Shi Yin was very far away from her. She heard Shi Yin's soft, cold, and deep voice gently calling her name.
"Year after year".
Shi Yin opened her arms and caught Cheng Sui, who suddenly rushed into her embrace. Cheng Sui hugged her tightly, as if Shi Yin would disappear like a dream in the next second.
Shi Yin quietly held Cheng Sui, looking at Cheng Sui's short, jet-black hair, the smile on her lips gradually fading.
"Let's go." Shi Yin gently patted Cheng Sui's back.
Cheng Sui nodded, wiped away her tears, and followed behind Shi Yin. She didn't get too close to Shi Yin, keeping a step's distance. She had seen Shi Yin draw her sword before, and getting too close would affect Shi Yin's performance.
[Sizzle sizzle—]
[Tokine? What just happened?]
A jumble of sounds came through the earpiece; the Doomsday Beacon's monitoring room was in complete chaos. The sudden loss of contact with Shiyin had taken everyone by surprise.
"It was just a minor incident." Shi Yin lowered her voice: "Signal interference is common, don't overreact."
"Have Ji Chuan assess the superpower index in this school and report where there are people," Shi Yin instructed.
[Ji Chuan's special ability is emotion; how does he determine if someone is around?]
Shi Yin: "..."
"Go when I tell you to. That's an order, not a discussion." Ye Shaoheng's voice came through. "How were you trained?"
Seemingly dissatisfied with the person who raised the question, the person who raised the question realized what was happening and quickly agreed.
"I'll contact Ji Chuan directly." Shi Yin said impatiently, "Ye Shaoheng, from now on, you'll contact me directly for any kind of communication."
【yes!】
Upon receiving the news of the doomsday beacon, Ye Shaoheng appeared extremely excited, almost like a bully relying on its master's power, with smugness written all over his face.
Look! Sister Yin asked me to work directly with her. Among you, I'm the person she trusts the most!
The commander-in-chief pressed his temples, silently looked away, and seemed somewhat helpless.
Trust is only one reason, right? The other reason... is that you're just not very bright...
However, these words were rather hurtful, so the leader chose to remain silent. But when the leader inadvertently glanced at Nan Zhu's face, he noticed that Nan Zhu seemed a little angry.
The Consul General paused for a moment, then carefully observed Nan Zhu by the reflection in the window. In the Consul General's mind, Nan Zhu had always been composed and unhurried, with a carefully crafted, standard smile on his face. Apart from his somewhat "rebellious" appearance, he was otherwise in line with the good qualities of a diplomat.
But now, Nan Zhu's lips seem to have dropped by two pixels.
Oh, so the competition has already started? Not bad, not bad. That's how subordinates should be. Healthy competition is the only way to promote internal progress.
"Forget it, you guys can handle this for now. I'll contact Ji Chuan directly." Shi Yin thought for a moment and decided to skip the third-party process.
These people need to be trained a few more times before they can fully enter the post-apocalyptic state. For now, let them observe for a while. However, if the Doomsday Beacon is lost as a relay point, information communication may be discovered.
The Doomsday Beacon was a building that Helmod completed after exerting all his strength, using his powers at a high intensity of 8-9 degrees, for almost a whole month.
The miracle obtained through death is, of course, the most advanced place in the world. Its receiving and signal jamming systems are very sophisticated. Ordinary communication, no matter what device it is made through, will cause some signal or energy fluctuations, which can be easily detected by the enemy.
However, switching from the Doomsday Beacon would not guarantee absolute call security. Even so, it slowed down the pace a bit when they didn't have enough tacit understanding.
"Ji Chuan, sense the entire academy and report to me any locations where emotions are present, based on the degree of emotional fluctuation. Mark the locations with the lowest emotional fluctuations as key points."
【yes!】
