Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Zombies
"OK, everyone is here."
"We are beginning the ability level assessment. Please follow the signs in front and line up in the testing channel for the same attribute."
Instructor Zhang pointed to several giant instruments on the playground, and the 43-person team dispersed into groups of three or four and walked towards different testing channels.
He Junxia deliberately slowed down and fell to the end of the team.
He looked up and looked to his left and right and counted. Among the 43 people, there were 6 fire elements, 7 earth elements, 9 water elements, 10 metal elements, 7 wood elements, 2 wind elements, 1 ice element and 1 thunder element.
There are no space-related and healing-related psychics, which are essential in apocalyptic novels.
However, novels are novels, and reality is reality. We cannot lump the two together just because real zombies also have crystal cores in their heads.
He Junxia cleared away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, looked up and carefully stared at the first fire-type mutant, watching him put his right hand into the instrument under the guidance of the staff.
"Please release the flame with your right hand."
After he finished speaking, the psychic took a deep breath and released his supernatural power.
After a moment, the instrument beeped, and the staff member beside it said, "Okay, sir, please take your right hand out, put your left hand in, and use your left hand to release your supernatural power."
The man smiled innocently and did as he was told.
"Ding ding ding"
The prompt sounded again, and the staff member said with a friendly smile: "The test is complete. Thank you for your cooperation. You can wait a moment and the data will be available soon."
"Next."
The second fire-type mutant sat down and put his right hand into the instrument. The printer on the other side suddenly spit out three A4 papers at a rapid speed.
The staff member picked up the printed data sheet and looked at it. "Your ability activity factor is 8%, and the preliminary assessment is level zero."
What is active factor?
The fire-type mutants looked at the staff member in confusion, waiting for her to give an explanation.
The staff seemed to be well prepared. Facing everyone's puzzled looks, they answered immediately, as if they had memorized the answers countless times in advance.
"The active factor is the more active and aggressive part of a superpower. Below 10% is a zero-level superpower, 10%-20% is a first-level superpower, and 20%-30% is a second-level superpower..."
The explanation was clear and concise, at least everyone present understood it.
One person sighed, "Technology is so amazing nowadays. It's only been a short time since psychics appeared, and already their secrets have been fully understood."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
The scene fell into an eerie silence, and several people simultaneously thought of the gold-type mutant who died from a bullet.
So what if your superpowers are so powerful?
Can it be stronger than the national government and modern technology?
He Junxia also thought of another point.
If the strength of superpowers is related to the content of active factors in the superpowers, is it possible to suppress or enhance the superpowers of the superpower user by suppressing or enhancing the content of active factors?
He Junxia believed that what he could think of would not be missed by scientists who were hundreds or thousands of times smarter than him.
Modern technology should not be underestimated.
I think the base's call for training and level testing of all those with special abilities who have not joined the official organization is also meant to serve as a deterrent - if anyone dares to commit crimes by relying on their special abilities, the base has plenty of ways and means to deal with him.
*
The instrument tested very quickly, and soon it was He Junxia's turn.
He deliberately controlled the energy of the flame when releasing his supernatural powers, attempting to confuse the instrument and reduce its judgment of the active factor content.
"Congratulations, your ability activity factor content is 16%, and the preliminary assessment is level one."
The staff members' smiles became more enthusiastic, and the other five fire-type psychics also turned to look at He Junxia. Looking at the boy's childish face, they couldn't help but sigh that he was so young.
Others are first-level psychics at the age of eighteen.
At the age of eighteen, they study hard at school and watch videos and play games at home.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
However, those who can become superpowers are all one in a million. Although I am surprised and envious, I can't say I am jealous.
Little did he know that He Junxia was regretting it in her heart.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have absorbed the crystal core of the first-level fire zombie when he was almost overdrawing his superpowers.
Otherwise, the active factor content would not be as high as 17%.
It's hard to keep a low profile now. He just hopes that other instruments can detect a few more first-level mutants so that he won't be too conspicuous.
He Junxia silently prayed to the goddess of luck.
Zhang Hongmeng was heard flipping through everyone's ability test sheets and laughing, "I didn't expect our team actually had two Level 1 psychics. One is Comrade He Junxia, whose active factor content is 16%, and the other is Comrade Xu Huajin, whose active factor content is 18%."
He Junxia: Hehehe
Fortunately, there is someone in front of me
Yang Le quietly bumped He Juanxia's arm and whispered, "Xiao Da, you're really good. Xu Huajin is the son of the Xu Group and the Hua Group, and you're only 2% lower than him."
He Junxia: No, hehe
Since ancient times, business and politics have been inseparable. The Xu Group and the Hua Group are the leading enterprises in City A, and the Xu and Hua families are involved in both black and white.
As the child of two families, Xu Huajin, who possesses superpowers, is bound to receive strong support from both families. It is not surprising that he becomes a first-level superpower user.
But the fact that a poor boy like me has an active factor level only 2% lower than his makes it hard not to be curious.
It is conceivable that once the news gets out, the official and private organizations trying to recruit him will become more and more numerous and crazy, and perhaps someone will even set their sights on what's in his head.
He Junxia rubbed his eyebrows.
It seems that the idea of staying out of trouble is out of the question. He must join an organization that can protect him before the situation gets out of control.
The military or private forces?
If he were a normal person with superpowers, joining the army would be the best choice, but he has a time bomb hidden in his body.
Once the bomb explodes, he will definitely be blown to pieces.
"Now I will lead you to visit the renovated psychic training base. Please try to remain quiet and do not disturb other psychics training."
Zhang Hongmeng's words interrupted He Junxia's thoughts. The group followed her to visit the Eighth Primary School and saw the military's method of training people with special abilities.
Everyone was shocked by the army's generosity.
The training base provides almost unlimited amounts of zero-level crystal cores to new recruits. This means that the level of superpowers isn't solely determined by the number of crystal cores absorbed. Otherwise, not only would third-level superpowers be bred, but even ninth- and tenth-level superpowers could be crammed into the system.
To be honest, He Junxia was a little moved.
The zombie hordes near the base had already been wiped out by the army, and the few that had escaped were the targets of zombie hunters.
If he wanted to obtain a large number of crystal cores, he had to go several kilometers away, but the special nature of his body made it difficult for him to team up with others, so he could only fight alone.
After all, people with special abilities are more attractive to zombies than ordinary people. If they go out as a team a few times, careful people will find that ordinary zombies don't attack them at all.
The more zombies gather in a place, the more likely it is that zombies with special abilities will appear.
Unlike ordinary zombies who ignore him, zombies with special abilities will hunt him as prey if he is alone. It’s okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it will be unbearable.
He Junxia almost got into trouble the day before yesterday.
If he hadn't reacted in time and made a makeshift insulating suit using the things around him, he would have become a delicious meal for the thunder zombie.
He Junxia was lost in thought, unaware that two people were observing him discreetly, and were lost in thought when he showed envious expressions.
The time came to 12 noon.
Zhang Hongmeng took everyone to the cafeteria of the training base for dinner. The configuration of two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, one soup, one fruit and one dessert once again shocked everyone.
Not to mention that the appearance of zombies caused the production line to collapse, even before the zombie outbreak, few people could eat such good meals every day.
Zhang Meixing muttered in a voice that most people could hear: "I thought I would be sent out to kill zombies after joining the army. I didn't expect them to live so well. If I had known, I would have signed up too."
Zhang Hongmeng smiled and said, "Student Zhang, what are you thinking about?"
"Even ordinary recruits have to go through a period of training before they can go on a mission. What's the difference between what you said and sending people to die?"
"What you just saw were only the psychics in the combat department. After dinner, I will take you to the manufacturing department to see how the psychics in the manufacturing department are trained."
Being caught saying bad things, Zhang Meixing touched his head awkwardly: "What is the manufacturing department? Can people with special abilities choose which department to go to?"
Zhang Hongmeng said cheerfully, "Of course. We respect the wishes of every psychic. If you like excitement and want to kill zombies, go to the combat department. If you prefer a stable life, go to the manufacturing department."
Zhang Meixing was clearly interested. "Instructor Zhang, could you tell us what the manufacturing department does? I've never heard of it before."
Zhang Hongmeng smiled and said, "Because this is a newly established department, it is under the full jurisdiction of the military, and no other agencies are involved."
"The manufacturing department is simply divided into the weapons manufacturing department and the civilian tool manufacturing department. Research has found that weapons and tools tempered by superpowers have stronger attack power against zombies. The manufacturing department was established for this purpose."
"Can water-based abilities also be used to refine weapons?"
"Can."
Zhang Hongmeng smiled and nodded. "I won't say more. Let's eat first. I'll keep it a little bit mysterious for you guys."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Yang Le excitedly pulled He Junxia aside to chat.
He Junxia twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head. Silly boy, you can't tell that they are a "group".
However, if Zhang Hongmeng was not lying, most of his concerns would be resolved.
At least the probability of being discovered in the manufacturing department is lower than in the combat department.
"Can I sit here, please?"
A gentle voice interrupted their conversation. He Junxia looked up and saw that it was another first-level psychic, Xu Huajin. He had a smile on his face and was gentle and refined, looking like a child of a wealthy family.
He Junxia said calmly: "Whatever."
He probably knew Xu Huajin's intention, but he couldn't choose between the Xu and Hua families.
Not to mention that the intrigues within the big family could easily affect Xie Liqing's normal life, he himself was also very likely to become Xu Huajin's energy storage, waiting for the right time for the other party to dig out the crystal core and absorb it.
He Junxia has always been afraid to speculate about the behavior of large families with the greatest malice. After all, people with pure nature cannot make a company bigger and stronger.
Xu Huajin's expression was a little stiff.
He didn't expect that even though he condescended to speak to him, this poor boy didn't understand at all. His tone was cold and indifferent, and he didn't even stand up.
A first-level mutant dares to take advantage of him.
Xu Huajin was very angry.
Once he gets this brat to the Xu family, he will definitely curb his arrogance.
He Junxia finished her meal in a few bites and stood up to leave. Yang Le quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, Xiaoda has a bad temper, even to his mother."
Xu Huajin tried hard to keep a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, so his expression looked a little creepy.
Yang Le also quickly finished his meal and left.
He found He Juanxia and warned her, "Xiao Da, you seem to have offended Xu Huajin. Be careful, in case he finds a chance to target you."
He Junxia smiled and said, "Don't worry about him."
No matter how powerful the Xu and Hua families are, they are just local tyrants in City A, and it is not their turn to interfere in military affairs.
Yes, He Junxia has decided to join the military's manufacturing department.
After the group finished visiting the manufacturing department and disbanded, he made his intentions clear to Zhang Hongmeng.
Zhang Hongmeng didn't expect that Xie Tengda also wanted to join the manufacturing department. According to her understanding of young people, they should be eager to become heroes of the people.
But it's a good thing after all.
The director of the manufacturing department often went to the director of the superpower management department to cry and complain that the zero-level superpowers assigned by the higher-ups could only work for a few hours and had to rest for the whole day to make way for a few high-level superpowers.
Now that a first-level psychic has come to her door, and he is a young man with great potential, she must be very happy.
