Chapter 187 Shen Jiaojiao, Do You Still Have Any Value?
Mutations are quietly occurring all over the world. Among humans, some have mutated into zombies, some have awakened superpowers, and many more are still praying amidst the torrential rains and natural disasters.
However, due to the network outage, the global mutation phenomenon has not yet spread, and people are unaware of the major events happening around them.
But once the torrential rain disaster ends, the world will enter a crazy era that is completely out of control.
By then, the zombie virus will have spread further, and the mutated animals and plants will plunge the world into a new round of danger.
The emergence of awakened beings will also quickly push the reshuffling of power onto the agenda.
The real chaos is about to begin.
Two days later, Lin's father had basically mastered how to control the release of his supernatural power.
In the living room, the whole family sat on the sofa, waiting for Lin's father to give them a performance.
Lin Xiaonuan, as part of the atmosphere-enhancing group, was good at using her megaphone to stir things up.
"Wow, Dad's so handsome! Dad's incredibly handsome!"
Mr. Lin never dared to imagine that he could have such a life, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.
He looked at the children's expectant faces, then at the mother who was giving him an encouraging look, and finally focused his attention on his own hands.
The next second, his palms turned bright red, and you could vaguely see the air around his palms distorted due to the high temperature.
With a sizzle, Lin's father placed his hands on the pot of water in front of him.
As he desperately released his heat energy, in just two minutes, a pot of water began to boil in front of Lin Muyan and the others.
The rising steam hit Lin's father's proud face.
"This ability is great. Even if we don't have to fight anymore, it can bring a lot of convenience to our lives."
Mr. Lin even thought that he wouldn't need to cook at home anymore; his hands would be the induction cooker, and his wife could cook with them, making it even more efficient.
But their joy was short-lived; their expressions soon changed.
He managed to burn a hole in the perfectly good pot.
Boiling water spilled all over the floor, and the family quickly retreated. Lin's mother looked on with heartache as her beloved pot was ruined by Lin's father. She rolled up her sleeves and went over to grab Lin's father's ear.
"We don't have many pots to begin with, and you've ruined another one. What did you promise me earlier?"
Lin's father tilted his head, looking helpless.
"Honey, the kids are here, can you give me some face? I'll patch it up later, and we can still salvage the pot."
Lin's mother snorted coldly before stopping.
Seeing her parents' good relationship, Lin Muyan couldn't help but smile.
Then she thought for a moment and said:
“Dad, think about it again in the next few days. Maybe you can control your heat energy even further and direct it to specific objects, like hitting a cow from across a mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Lin's father nodded, and after thinking about it carefully, said:
"Yan Yan is right. We need to continue to study this ability, and strive to be able to release heat energy from whichever part of the body we want, and ideally, control the temperature precisely so that it can be used flexibly and in many ways. In addition, we also need to transfer this heat energy to specific objects."
Upon hearing this, Lin's father felt a headache coming on. It sounded simple, but it would probably be quite difficult to do.
But no matter how difficult it is, it must be overcome. I finally awakened my superpower, and if I can't control it, then it's better not to have it at all.
There are many cases like Lin's father around the world.
Those who have awakened their superpowers are all trying to control them. Clever people have begun to think of creative ways to manipulate their superpowers and develop their own combat skills.
Rong Muchen was the same.
Rong Muchen was the only one in the Rong family to awaken his supernatural abilities, and the whole family pinned their hopes on him.
When Grandma Rong learned that her grandson had become one in ten thousand Awakened Ones, she passed on her treasured jade thumb ring to Rong Muchen.
She looked radiant, as if the jade thumb ring represented immense power.
"Mu Chen, this is the symbol of the Rong family's glory. From today onwards, the position of head of the family is officially handed over to you."
"Grandma doesn't understand those superpowers, but I've seen yours, and it's absolutely top-notch. Isn't that Shen Jiaojiao connected to a colonel in the military? Ask him to introduce you to him. You still need to join the military in the future."
The rest of the Rong family were also excited when they heard that they could join the military.
"What's most needed in the apocalypse is power and status. With these two things, there's no need to worry about supplies. And once any safe zones or shelters are established, the powerful and influential will definitely enjoy them first."
"Mu Chen, whether our Rong family can survive in this circle of wealthy families depends on you."
"..."
For the first time, Rong Muchen felt incredibly powerful, as his entire family depended on him, a feeling that made him somewhat arrogant.
Although he was previously designated as the next heir of the Rong family, he had little say in the family because of his grandmother and other uncles.
His grandmother forbade him to have any further contact with Lin Muyan, and he couldn't disobey her.
Fortunately, he now holds great power and has awakened his superpowers. Let's see if Lin Muyan still dares to look down on him!
Back in his room, Rong Muchen took off his clothes, stood shirtless in front of a large mirror, and repeatedly admired his supernatural abilities.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jiaojiao's eyes revealed deep contempt and disgust, and she couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"ugly."
Rong Muchen was not annoyed by what he heard, and refuted Shen Jiaojiao's words without turning his head.
"What do you know? Superpowers are all about how powerful they are. My superpower can both attack and defend. Do you believe that if we both joined the military, my development would definitely be better than yours?"
Shen Jiaojiao chuckled, then, after a moment's thought, she put away her disdainful expression and began to praise Rong Muchen.
“You’re right. You’ve already defeated 99% of people by awakening your superpowers. We’re both stronger than Lin Muyan. Although she awakened her powers earlier, she’s only strong, which is useless in the apocalypse.”
"However, Lin Muyan must have a lot of supplies, so they're still somewhat useful. My relationship with her isn't good, but you at least had feelings for her before, and now you've awakened your superpowers. A smart person would know what to choose. Why don't you try going to her again?"
Rong Muchen put on his clothes, turned around and looked at Shen Jiaojiao, knowing what she was up to, and suddenly sneered.
"Shen Jiaojiao, look what this is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone he was holding suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened suddenly.
"You, how come you..." How come you also have a personal space?
Shen Jiaojiao was speechless and unable to say anything more. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: how could Rong Muchen possibly have such an incredible ability as a personal space?
However, the next second, Rong Muchen's words struck Shen Jiaojiao like a thunderbolt.
"What that fire girl said during her live stream was absolutely right. Every awakened one, along with their superpowers, also develops a personal space."
"Shen Jiaojiao, what value do you have now?"
Shen Jiaojiao was struck dumb, shaking her head repeatedly and saying "impossible".
"Impossible, impossible! How could a personal space be such a common superpower? Rong Muchen, don't forget, my space can be upgraded, can yours?"
