Chapter 231 The Survivor's Crystal Core
"Hmph! Your excuses are useless. Your subordinates have already confessed!" After saying that, Han Dongling decided not to waste any more words with him. She directly used her spiritual power to slap him away.
There were other people inside the base who wanted to escape, but they were also stopped by Han Dongling.
Feng Yuan, who was lying on the ground like a lump of mud, covered his eyes with his hands, hiding the hatred in them.
Seeing that he was incapacitated, Han Dongling didn't intend to kill him immediately. She wanted to capture him to investigate some more matters before taking further action.
Before Han Dongling could even get close, Feng Yuan, who had been limp, suddenly sprang up and rushed to the side.
The speed was very fast, a speed only wind-type abilities could achieve. However, as far as Han Dongling knew, Feng Yuan had ice-type abilities, and so far, apart from her, she had not heard of anyone else who had dual-type abilities.
Therefore, Feng Yuan's speed is very abnormal.
Thinking of this, Han Dongling quickly cast a speed talisman on herself, and she was no longer afraid of speed competition.
Sure enough, with her cultivation level and the Swiftness Talisman, Feng Yuan's speed was no match for hers. She caught up with him again and gave him another lap. Strangely, Feng Yuan allowed Han Dongling to attack him without retaliating.
It's strange that the other party also has superpowers, although they are not as strong as Han Dongling. It's as if they are deliberately trying to provoke her into attacking and depleting her energy.
With that thought in mind, Han Dongling became cautious and cast a spell on Feng Yuan, immobilizing him.
"Witch, what kind of superpower is this? Why can't I move? And how many superpowers do you have?" Feng Yuan looked at his immobile body in panic. If he couldn't move, his plans would be ruined.
Han Dongling did not reply to Feng Yuan's words, because after she immobilized Feng Yuan, she used her divine sense to check Base 37 again, and this time, she discovered something unusual.
At the very edge of Base 37, the bodies of survivors were buried, and they were clearly in a state that they had just left.
However, in the post-apocalyptic world, the treatment of survivors who have died is to bury them far away from inhabited areas and bases.
It's very unusual that Base 37 buried the deceased directly within the base. Moreover, through her divine sense, she saw that the state of the deceased was also very strange. It didn't seem like they died from injury or infection, but rather as if their life force had been completely drained.
Han Dongling couldn't help but think of the wind-based superpower that Feng Yuan had just used, and she couldn't help but connect the two together, and a horrifying guess came to her mind.
Thinking of this, she shouted to her men, "Quickly tie all these people up and take them back to the base for interrogation. As for their previous theft of supplies from other bases, Uncle Han and Uncle Wu should also be involved in punishing these people."
However, Han Dongling's immobilization spell couldn't last that long. Just to be on the safe side, Han Dongling also used a weakening potion on all of them. That way, when they returned to the base and were locked up in the base prison, with her Five Elements Trapping Array in place, these people wouldn't be able to escape.
After locking everyone up, Han Dongling focused her interrogation on Feng Yuan. She didn't waste any time and immediately administered the truth potion and used a recorder to make Feng Yuan confess all the bad things he had done.
After hearing Feng Yuan's confession, Han Dongling regretted that she had been too lenient with him last time. She hadn't thought to interrogate him directly and let him go. As a result, this person had caused a lot of trouble recently.
Before the apocalypse, Feng Yuan seemed like an honest person, but that was only because the conditions didn't allow it. After the apocalypse, the order collapsed, and he awakened his superpowers, so the darkness he had been suppressing could no longer be contained.
After establishing his base, he became a local tyrant. Anyone he fancied, whether male or female, would become his tool for sexual gratification. However, out of a desire to survive, those people were no match for Feng Yuan and chose to swallow their anger and eke out a living under his rule.
Ordinary survivors were not treated as human beings. They were given a mouthful of food to keep them alive, and their labor was exploited to the fullest extent.
Recently, after meeting Han Dongling, Feng Yuan realized that he had met his match. He began to panic, and the man who used to enjoy comfort began to yearn to become stronger.
However, improving one's superpowers requires many factors, including practical experience, time, and opportunity. That's when Feng Yuan started to have crooked ideas.
He heard that Han Dongling actually had dual abilities, not only spatial abilities but also offensive abilities, so he wondered how he could become a dual-ability user.
Then he began various experiments, which evolved from finding mutated animals outside to conduct experiments on humans.
At first, he drank the blood of superhumans directly, but found that it didn't work.
He then thought of the crystal cores that mutated animals possess. Absorbing those crystal cores could enhance one's abilities, albeit slowly, but it was indeed effective. So, could people with superpowers also possess superpowers, and could they also be used to absorb them?
Then, in order to verify this, he began to kill superhumans in a frenzy.
At first, he didn't kill anyone from his own base, nor did he even search the vicinity. Instead, he had Huang Liang take him underground to search in a more distant place.
He had killed several superhumans without finding any crystal cores in their bodies. Just when he was wondering if he was going in the wrong direction, he actually found a crystal core on one of the superhumans. It was transparent.
Feng Yuan was quick-witted and immediately understood that only a level three ability user could condense a crystal core, and this ability user happened to be a wind-type ability user, whose crystal core was transparent.
Feng Yuan originally wanted to absorb it directly, but since superhumans can only absorb the crystal core of their own attribute superhuman ability, he thought about eating it directly, but he was afraid that there would be some kind of rejection reaction. So he turned his attention to the people around him.
However, out of caution, he chose someone with a relatively weak ability and had him directly consume the wind-element crystal core.
Surprisingly, it actually worked; the other person awakened a wind-type ability after eating it.
Seeing the other party's excited appearance, Feng Yuan did not hesitate at all and immediately froze the person. After killing the person, he dug out the crystal core again and swallowed it without any disgust, since it was just dug out of the other party's body.
When Feng Yuan discovered that he had indeed awakened wind-type abilities, he was extremely excited. He felt that with this method, he would eventually become the strongest person in the apocalypse.
Therefore, he would not share this news with others. Instead, he began to have ideas about the superpowered individuals under his command. He wanted to take those with three or more superpowered abilities for himself if he thought their abilities were good.
