[The owner has detected an incoming signal. It is not an emergency signal. The contact person is Helmod.]
In Shi Yin's mind, the artificial system Faertong suddenly spoke.
It's not an emergency signal? We've already used full deactivation, so it's not considered an emergency signal?
[First, the situation: Good news, I've found the Big Dipper Gate to the new world. Bad news, it's gone.]
"Wait a minute, Helmod, your complete liberation let him escape?" Even Shion was somewhat incredulous: "Are you kidding me? Do you know what level this is?"
This level of injury would leave even Tokito severely wounded for three years if he took a direct hit from a cannon. As one of the Five Knights, Hermod would be instantly killed if the other knights took a direct hit from a cannon.
[So here's my second piece of good news: when we find those big bosses in the new world, they're usually in their complete form, and we have no idea how they developed into their current state. But at least now I understand that.]
[The Big Dipper's Tianxuan, also known as Jumen, is enormous and possesses the characteristic of devouring. What I just found is a split form. If my current data analysis is correct, it has split into many clones, which are devouring everything they want in various parts of the world. When they merge, they will become the complete form.]
"So those giant cannons that you split off are..."
[I simulated your memory tracking function, linked it to his other clones, dispersed my giant cannons, and fired a shot at each of them.]
"...Next time, please let me know before making a decision..." Shi Yin was speechless: "You're being too sudden. Do you know you've caused an earthquake?"
This precisely demonstrates that the clone was very close to the Yanlong Kingdom itself. Remember the strange signal I told you about, detected by the probe?
[There are definitely modern humans among those behind the scenes. The clone I found was actually located in my capital! Luckily, I moved everyone there beforehand, otherwise, by the time I returned, the entire Wilren population would have been wiped out overnight!]
To appear directly in the capital of Wilren, that's incredibly audacious!
Both sides are currently in a state of conserving their energy, since neither side is fully prepared and being discovered prematurely is no different from ruining their own plans.
Unless, of course, this zombie is looking for a life of luxury and danger, and takes advantage of Helmod's absence to devour Wilren and become a world-class power, the five nations would certainly suffer a significant drop in strength without Wilren.
However, these people clearly did not understand Helmod's strength and Wilren's situation. They did not expect Helmod to teleport instantly, nor did they expect that Wilren's people had already moved.
“Then I’ll go find the source of the signal now,” Shi Yin said.
No, no, I want you to hold back for now. Your sharpness might alert the people behind the scenes. Right now, we'd better protect your information.
[Your Yanlong Kingdom is continuing to send exploration teams to explore the outside world, luring the Giant Gate, which desperately needs to replenish its energy, into a trap. I'll investigate the details first, and then we'll discuss it further.]
"Okay." Shi Yin agreed without much thought.
[Mr. Helmod has cut off communications; Phaethon is on standby.]
"What happened?" Freya stood obediently to the side.
"Nothing, have you taken enough?" Shi Yin glanced at Freya, who was carrying a full load of things.
In fact, most of these supermarkets have already been ransacked by the guards who are clearing out the zombies. Right now, food is scarce, so all kinds of seasonings, oils, rice, and flour must be swept away. We can't let the zombies ruin them.
The fact that the body that should have been hanging from the rope in this supermarket has now been removed proves this point.
The zombies that couldn't move were left behind, but the corpses were gone. Clearly, what gave the police officers the biggest psychological shock was not the zombies, but the hanging corpse they bumped into as soon as they opened the door.
Freya was holding some unremarkable little things: a few small jars of food, a small bag of freeze-dried strawberries, a jar of honey, and some flavored compressed biscuits.
"That's enough, let's not take so much. Let's leave some space for the others. Next time we'll go check out other places." Freya happily followed Shi Yin: "As expected, it's the best to get things without spending money."
"Now, you superhumans don't have to pay for your meals every day, right? It's all free from the government." Shi Yin thought for a moment. She remembered that cleaning, water, and electricity in the house were also free.
"So what? Training your powers every day is hard work, that's called getting what you pay for." Freya stuck out her tongue: "That's getting a bargain, it's not the same."
"Oh..." Shi Yin nodded thoughtfully; he hadn't considered this question for a long time.
However, Shi Yin vaguely remembered that in her first life, before she was reborn and before the apocalypse, she did often fight with her roommates for coupons.
Coffee for 9.9 yuan a cup or something like that...
"Sister Yin!"
Guan Nianshan's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
The zero-dollar shop that Shi Yin and Freya found was right across from this club, not far away. However, neither of them expected that Guan Nianshan would suddenly appear after the earthquake.
"Sister Yin, I want to awaken my superpower." Guan Nianshan stood in front of Shi Yin, panting and supporting his knees, having run very fast.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yin completely ignored Guan Nianshan and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Yin!" Guan Nianshan cried out inwardly, grabbing Shi Yin's arm. "Sister Yin, you can't just abandon me like this! I should still be of some value now, right? Aren't I your beloved minister?"
Freya: "...Huh?"
Shi Yin: "..."
She wanted to ask, what's the difference between going crazy anywhere and peeping anywhere?
“That’s not the point. You’ll die if you awaken your powers.” Shi Yin shook her head. “Your determination and will to survive aren’t enough. You should wait until the right opportunity comes.”
“That won’t do, Sister Yin. I’m not into venture capital.” Guan Nianshan let go of Shi Yin’s hand when she stopped, and chuckled, “I just thought about it. As an ordinary person, the risk of me getting infected is too great. Of course, I need to have a safety net when playing in the apocalypse.”
"Awakening superpowers isn't very safe either. Based on the total number of people who have awakened so far, the mortality rate is 70%." Shi Yin recalled those data.
The mortality rate shouldn't actually be this high, but a large number of ordinary people believe they might be the chosen ones, and with expectations and longing for superpowers, they sign agreements and board the Awakening Machine.
As a result, the mortality rate was significantly increased.
"That's not how it works. Look, if you get bitten by a zombie, it's 100%. We encounter zombies every day when we go out, and that's also 100%. So if I don't awaken my powers, I'll die 100% of the time."
Guan Nianshan counted on his fingers.
"But I only have a 70% chance of dying when I sit in the Awakening Machine, so I have a 30% chance of surviving, which is 30% more than if I didn't awaken my superpower. 30% > 0, so I can survive."
Shi Yin: "..."
Is that how it's calculated?
"It's just to avoid being... um." Shi Yin was about to say something when Freya quickly covered Shi Yin's mouth and smiled at Guan Nianshan, saying, "Awakening your superpower? Sure, just come back with us to sign the agreement."
