Chapter 127 Xu Sa Awakens
"Do you feel that the temperature has risen again? Several ordinary people who went out have suffered varying degrees of sunburn," Xiong Jie said, picking up Zhuang Aiyi and looking at him. "Aiyi, don't go out after nine o'clock in the future. It will be painful if you get sunburned."
"Okay," Zhuang Aiyi replied obediently.
"I discovered that the highest temperature was 38 degrees the day before yesterday, 42 degrees yesterday, and it had reached 44 degrees at around 12 o'clock today." The Greenland community employs a lot of ordinary people, especially women who do things like picking medicines and washing clothes. Their bodies are more sensitive, and heat stroke and sunburn appear first.
Zhuang Mingxu immediately noticed the change in temperature. "What about you? Do the psychics feel anything?"
Xiong Jie shook his head and said, "Maybe my level is too low to feel the temperature changes, but people like Li Zhuang, Liu Rui, and Antonio didn't notice it at all."
Zhuang Mingxu pursed his lips and nodded.
At around five or six o'clock, it suddenly became gloomy outside. The dark clouds were so low that they seemed within reach, and the weather became gloomy. With a loud thunder, Xu Sa, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped out of bed, and looked out the window in horror.
"Xu Sa" While Lu Weiyi was talking, a small green branch came over and tied up Xu Sa.
"Brother Sa" Liu Rui's voice was unclear and choked.
"Huh?" After a long while, Xu Sa finally reacted, "Lu Xiaoyi? Little stutterer! I..." He frowned and wanted to rub his forehead, but he was tied up tightly, "I was just scared, do you have to tie me up?"
Seeing that his eyes were clear and it didn't look like anything was wrong, Lu Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief and let the man go.
Liu Rui went over, hugged the man and started crying.
"What's wrong? It's such a hot day and you guys don't mind being clingy." Xu Sa said this but hugged Liu Rui.
"You were bitten by a zombie and almost died." Lu Weiyi sat on his bed, his tense nerves relaxed, and he felt a little hungry. "How do you feel now?"
"I feel... very weak and a little nauseous." Xu Sa looked at his still life-like hands with a smile, "I am so lucky to have survived being bitten by a zombie. I will definitely live a happy life in the future."
Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Qingyue said you might have heatstroke, and the symptoms must not have passed yet. Can you leave? Eat something downstairs, take some medicine and have a sleep." He took out some aloe vera gel from the space and handed it to him, "Apply it on, don't disfigure yourself."
"I'm a little hungry." Xu Sa took it and coaxed Liu Rui in a low voice. The three of them went downstairs together.
The first thunder outside the window was followed by heavy rain, pouring down from the sky, relieving the dryness in the air but also bringing dullness.
Lu Weiyi saw Zhuang Mingxu sitting by the window in the living room and asked, "When did you come back?"
"I came back with Xiaoxi," Zhuang Mingxu replied, looking at Xu Sa, "Have you activated your superpowers?"
Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows and was about to say that he was not awakening naturally, when he saw Xu Sa's eyes light up. He clasped his hands and felt it for a moment, then said in surprise, "I seem to feel a...energy."
Lu Weiyi was surprised, closed his mouth and stared at Xu Sa silently. After a moment, he saw a string of small sparks condensing on Xu Sa's hands.
"This...fire element?" Xu Sa asked Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi pursed his lips and said, "Try a few more times."
Xu Sa tried a few more times, and the energy ball in his hand finally stabilized. It was obvious that the string of things that flashed by was exactly the same as the occasional flashes in the sky outside. "... Lightning? Aren't superpowers gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?"
Lu Weiyi was also a little surprised, but he had seen lightning-related abilities in his previous life, but there was only one person, and he was the leader of a base in the south.
Not only are lightning-related abilities rare, but once upgraded their combat power is also extremely powerful. Anyone who can use them is no small figure.
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are the majority, and there are a few other abilities, such as Lu Xi's mental ability and..." Dean's healing ability.
"Well... the lightning system seems to be quite powerful. If you practice more, you will definitely become very powerful when you upgrade," Lu Weiyi said.
"Brother Sa, I... have... crystal cores." Liu Rui took out five crystal cores from his pocket, including four gray and one transparent water-type crystal cores. "You... absorb them."
“Isn’t this what I gave you before? Just use it if I told you to. Why keep it if you can’t upgrade yourself?” Although Xu Sa said this, he still happily took it and absorbed four of them. He gave the last water-type one to Lu Weiyi and replaced it with a gray one without attributes, saying that the effect would be the same if a water-type one was absorbed by him, so it would be better to give it to a water-type mutant.
"I don't know what the effect will be?" After five of them, the lightning was obviously much stronger. Xu Sa threw a bolt of lightning towards the empty door, muttering to himself, and then he heard a "shit" coming from the door.
Several people were stunned and looked outside the open door. They saw Antonio and Dean appeared under the door sill at some point. Both of them looked like drowned rats. What was even more embarrassing was that Antonio was lying on the ground twitching as if he had been attacked by something.
"David" Dean was protected by Antonio the whole time and didn't notice what was happening at all.
"Oh my god, that's impossible," Xu Sa said, and hurried over to carry the man back with Liu Rui. "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Someone attacked me." Antonio recovered from the shock, his arms still shaking unconsciously, and he looked around vigilantly.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, I just awakened my superpowers and I don't know how to control them yet, so I didn't see anyone there..." Xu Sa was extremely embarrassed.
Knowing that it was not a sneak attack, Antonio was not the kind of person who would care about things. Seeing that Xu Sa had recovered and awakened powerful supernatural powers, he immediately started chatting with him enthusiastically.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhuang Mingxu asked when he saw Lu Weiyi frowning and in a daze.
Lu Weiyi thought for a moment, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Xu Sa's superpowers were not awakened. At that time, the dirty blood transformed from the zombies had already spread. I was anxious and gave him the snow water that I had saved before to drink. Later, the dirty blood in his body was slowly discharged."
Zhuang Mingxu was shocked for a moment when he heard this, even though he was calm. He tried to stay calm, pulled Lu Weiyi to the room, and as soon as he closed the door, he asked seriously, "Did anyone see this?"
"Liu Rui," Lu Weiyi replied, "As for the others... I asked them to leave."
It is very likely that everyone will think too much, but without definite evidence, safety cannot be guaranteed. Zhuang Mingxu rubbed his solar plexus and said after a while, "If someone asks, just say it's just ordinary water. You're thinking about whether you can drink more water to detoxify."
"Does anyone believe this?" Lu Weiyi thought that Zhuang Mingxu was stupid.
"Whether they believe it or not is other people's business. Just say it and don't reveal anything," Zhuang Mingxu reminded solemnly. Seeing that Lu Weiyi's handsome face was confused, Zhuang Mingxu was worried that he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, so he said, "If others find out, they might think that you have a way to resist the zombie energy and awaken powerful superpowers at the same time."
"It is a crime to possess a treasure. When everyone starts to believe in and covet this thing, your enemy becomes everyone. At that time, no one can guarantee your safety. Do you understand?"
Lu Weiyi nodded.
"Xiao Yi, I've always wanted to ask, what did you want to do with so much snow water?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"If the crystal core absorbs too much, exceeding the limit of the human body, the person will explode. This can purify the impurities in the crystal core, which is equivalent to a purification process." Lu Weiyi took out two gray crystal cores from the space and handed them to Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu picked them up and took a look. One was gray, while the other was still gray, but the mist inside was obviously gone. "Have you told anyone else?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head.
"But what you give them every day is this purified one," Zhuang Mingxu said affirmatively.
Lu Weiyi nodded.
The ability does not match the secret.
Zhuang Mingxu felt extremely anxious at this moment, worried that no one could protect him.
"It's okay. If anything happens, we will just run away. At worst, we can go to a place where no one knows us. The supplies in my space are enough for us to live out our lives." Having been protected perfectly in his previous life, Lu Weiyi did not have a strong sense of crisis.
Zhuang Mingxu did not comment on his naivety, but nodded with a smile. He then thought of something and said, "If you have the chance to meet someone who has been bitten by a zombie in the future, try to secretly feed him some snow water to see if it is really related to this."
If it matters, Zhuang Mingxu glanced at his legs...
"Okay," Lu Weiyi responded, and asked, "Liu Rui, Antonio, and Li Zhuang's abilities should all be upgraded. Should I help them?"
"Can you help them upgrade?" Zhuang Mingxu felt that Lu Weiyi knew too much, so much that he was afraid. Of course, he was not afraid of him as a person, but he was afraid that he really could not protect him.
"Absorb more crystal cores at one time and impact them directly. It will be fine, but it will be a little uncomfortable. You can also absorb a few of these directly. The energy contained in them is very strong." Lu Weiyi took out a transparent bead core from the space.
The upgrade of a psychic is either a sudden burst of potential upgrade or a one-time absorption of a large amount of crystal core shock upgrade. However, crystal cores have impurities, and absorbing too much at one time may directly cause the psychic power to go out of control and explode, leading to death.
Therefore, the upgrade of each psychic is a life-threatening process, and the crystal core in Lu Weiyi's hand has been purified, so naturally there is no such problem.
"Keep this for yourself, and don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary." Zhuang Mingxu directly asked him to put the white bead core away. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was exactly the same as the crystal that appeared at the beginning of the apocalypse. If he took it out and used it, people would inevitably think that he had predicted something.
"Ask them if they want to upgrade. If they do, you can provide them with crystal cores. They will owe you the money. After all, our team doesn't have many crystal cores now, and it's impossible for us to upgrade everyone for free. Moreover, your provision of purified crystal cores is already exceptionally generous."
"Yeah, okay," Lu Weiyi responded.
