When the others arrived, before they even had to say anything, Chief Alliance Officer Li poured a glass for each of them, and then they drank and chatted.
"I have some good news to share with you."
"What good news, General Li?"
"This afternoon, our alliance gained more than twenty superhumans!"
"What? How come there are so many all of them? How much special energy reagent did they use?!"
"Not many, only about thirty! The awakening rate is over 90%!"
"That can't be! What's going on, General Li? Tell us quickly!"
General Li happily recounted the events of the evening, the old man's face beaming with excitement, drawing everyone into his story.
After he finished speaking, the bigwigs seemed to be deep in thought: "So, the awakening rate is higher for those who have entered the passage, then is it possible for us to awaken as well?"
"That goes without saying, just look at Xiao Shen and the others!"
"But Liang Huaxin doesn't have it!"
"Perhaps he didn't stay long enough?"
"Are we going to have to live in the tunnel for months?"
"If it could be awakened, it wouldn't be impossible."
"Let Lao Xu study it some more, there's no rush." After saying that, Chief Li asked, "What do you think we should do about settling these superhumans?"
They're all from Haishi! Wen Chao will be ecstatic! They don't even have that many superhumans in their capital city.
Leaving aside Xiao Shen's family, whose situation is special, could we try to keep the rest in the capital?
Although, currently, the abilities of superhumans are rather weak, who can say for sure whether they might become very powerful in the future!
It's best to keep this power in your own hands.
The leaders expressed their opinions, but their overall thinking remained consistent with that of General Manager Li.
"Let's have the entire special operations team, which will be responsible for the highest-level missions in the future."
"Yes, now that there are people with superpowers, who knows, one day those mysterious things will appear."
"Even if not, we'll soon resume diplomatic relations with foreign countries, and conflicts are inevitable. With such a cutting-edge force, we can be said to be invincible and unstoppable!"
"Alright, let's wait until tomorrow and I'll ask for their opinion. We'll show our sincerity, but whether they accept it or not, we won't force them."
“We can set up a branch in Haishi, which will put top-level forces in our own hands.”
The group chatted and laughed until late into the night, and all sleepiness vanished.
Mao Mengguan looked at the bottom of the glass and smacked his lips: "Boss, this water tastes so good! I feel like my head is clear!"
"Hey, I didn't even notice until you mentioned it! I stayed up all night but didn't doze off at all! And my body still feels warm!"
General Li said with a smile, "This soup is made from century-old ginseng, and you're getting a great deal!"
Mao Mengguan asked slyly, "Xiao Kai's inventory?"
Li Zongmengguan smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
He added some more for them: "Take good care of yourselves. Once Lao Xu has a conclusion, we'll drink the energy supplement too."
"I hope all of us old fogies can awaken. But even if we don't, it's okay, living to be a hundred years old is enough!"
"Okay, go to sleep after you finish drinking. I'm really sorry to have woken you up in the middle of the night."
"Hehe, not at all. If I had known that so many people were awakening their superpowers last night, I wouldn't have gone back. I would have just watched."
"Me too! What a grand occasion! Old Li, you actually forgot about us, that's so unfair!"
Li Zongmengguan awkwardly touched his nose: "Well, I just didn't expect so many superhumans to awaken."
I thought there would only be one or two, but who would have thought that in the end only one failed to awaken.
"We need to make the most of the next couple of days and hold a press conference. We should also contact those countries that haven't made any moves yet and try to reach a deal as soon as possible."
Good things should be kept in our own hands.
A group of old men were so excited that they didn't leave until dawn, when they reluctantly returned to their office.
As for home, there's no need to go back. I won't be able to stay there for long anyway, so I might as well stay in the office for a while.
They thought they were too old to sleep much, or that they couldn't fall asleep or would wake up very quickly.
But to everyone's surprise, they fell fast asleep the moment they touched the sofa. Even the noise of everyone going to work didn't wake them.
It wasn't until almost noon that I got up, yawning contentedly. Then, as if I had eaten a ginseng fruit, I was full of energy.
If Shen Yanming knew, he would definitely say that they didn't actually eat ginseng fruit, but it was almost the same. After all, what they ate were the first two words.
Of course, he doesn't know that yet.
Last night, after returning to the temporary dormitory with Bi Qiaoan, An'an, and Nuannuan, the four of us couldn't contain our excitement any longer.
Who would have thought that superpowers would appear in this zombie-free apocalypse? Especially Old Shen's, that's just too strong!
"Dad, did you go all out? It's so much bigger than mine!" An'an asked, a flame the size of an apple appearing on her hand.
Shen Yanming shook his head and said, "We've held back at least half our strength. We always have to keep some trump cards up our sleeves."
An An nodded, then grabbed Shen Yanming's hand and examined it from all angles to see where it was different.
Shen Yanming said with a smile, "It's probably because I was injured by lava and then soaked in spiritual spring water for a few days."
An An was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat unhappily, "If I had known, I wouldn't have entered the space so early, and I would have gotten burned by the flames too."
Upon hearing this, Bi Qiaoan slapped him on the back of the head: "You think your mother isn't worried enough? She was almost scared to death by your father during that time. If you were added to the mix, would our family of four even survive?"
"Exactly, don't you think about how critical the situation was? Even the rotten egg is gone."
He didn't even know when Chou Dan disappeared. Back then, everyone put their people into their spatial storage and only went in after making sure no one was outside.
He was the last to go in, and also the most seriously injured. Perhaps Mao Dan was swallowed by the lava at the very beginning.
An An nodded, realizing she had misspoke, and quickly apologized to the couple.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan weren't angry. They patted his head and warned him to prioritize his own safety and not to blindly pursue power.
Nuan Nuan was initially quite sad because she hadn't been able to awaken her wood-type ability, but after seeing Uncle Liang Huaxin's heartbroken appearance, she felt that she was being a bit too dramatic.
She's already ahead of most people; she should be content.
Bi Qiaoan put her arm around her shoulder and asked, "Baby, are you still sad? Actually, it's all the same. This world doesn't need us to fight monsters, so whether we have superpowers or not doesn't matter much."
If it weren't for Dean Xu's invention of the energy reagent, she would have preferred the planet to return to its pre-apocalyptic state.
Everyone goes to school, goes to work, gets married, has children, and retires in an orderly fashion. Let's just consider the past one or two decades as a dream.
