Chapter 16: Zombies also have superpowers?
She paused maliciously, then looked at Lin Cong, "Do you feel anything special about your body right now?"
The others stared at him nervously. Could it be that he wasn't fully recovered yet?
Lin Cong was puzzled: "No... Oh, wait, um, I seem to feel more powerful, and then, it seems like something is running around in my body?"
Zhang Rui's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, I feel the same way."
Lin Cong was excited, "You mean I might have super powers?"
Lu Ming nodded, "Come on, close your eyes and do as I say."
Zhang Rui was also very curious. Lu Ming raised his chin and said, "You come too."
"Take a deep breath. First, feel the extra air in your body, and then guide it to flow through your body. Now, gather all the air you can feel into your wrists...Hold on, don't let up. If you feel it has gathered, push it hard and push it out of your palms."
The two men frowned and tried for a while, when suddenly there was a "boom" sound, and an orange flame as high as Lin's arm ignited from the palm of his left hand, scaring the two people around him, and they all tactically leaned back to avoid it.
"Fuck you, Xiao Linzi, you're committing murder!"
“…”
Lin Cong suddenly opened his eyes and was stunned when he saw the fire in his hand. "Have I become so powerful now?"
Puff, the flame went out again.
Lin Cong clenched his fist and opened it again. Eh? Why can't he release any energy? After trying for a long time, sweat broke out on his forehead. Lu Ming stopped him, "Alright, you just awakened today. It's great that you can release this much energy. Your superpowers are limited. Don't overdraw, otherwise it will be bad for your health."
Lin Cong nodded, indeed feeling a little dizzy.
The others looked at Zhang Rui again, only to see that he still had his eyes closed, sweating profusely and looking nervous.
Lu Ming added, "If we can't gather together, forget it. Let's learn how to release them first."
Zhang Rui did as he was told and after a while he found that the surroundings had become very quiet.
He asked anxiously, "What's wrong? I didn't release it? Why can't I feel anything?"
Everyone held their jaws in shock, and Lu Ming replied, "Well, just open your eyes and see for yourself."
Zhang Rui opened his eyes and was shocked.
There was a cloud of mist all around him, he couldn't see his hand in front of him, and he was completely wrapped up in it.
"Fuck! Did I do this?" Everyone nodded in unison, but Zhang Rui couldn't see it.
He panicked. "I can't even see my own people with this. Can it be used in battle? And how do I take it back?"
Lu Ming: "Feel the mist you released. Imagine your hand is a vacuum cleaner with suction power. Just try your best to suck it back in."
Zhang Rui: “…” Suction, vacuum cleaner?
He tried it and found that the metaphor was quite apt. After a while, the fog slowly dissipated.
The others ran over to hit Zhang Rui with envy and hatred, "Fuck, I want super powers too! That's so cool!"
"Why do you let go more than me? It's not fair."
"Lin Zi, stop showing off. I'm satisfied with what I have."
Then several people stared at Luming in unison, their bright eyes full of admiration.
Cheng Ming praised: "Amazing, how did you know that?"
Lu Ming blushed a little when he was looked at. "Because this is my experience. This is how I use my space. If I can open it, it will be bigger. If I can't open it, it will be smaller. But the things inside will not be affected."
Deer·Actor·Ming: Sorry, I have to compete with you on acting again. I don’t have any special abilities. I only learned this from the background information :)
"Then do you think we can still awaken our superpowers?" Li Hangyuan couldn't help but ask.
Lu Ming thought for a moment, "Okay... Don't look at me like that. I don't know how to awaken either. But take me as an example. My ability didn't awaken because of a fever, but was suddenly triggered in a crisis. Maybe this means that everyone has a chance, right?"
Cheng Ming agreed, a rare moment. "From my observation, the process of awakening superpowers is actually a process of transforming the body. Each person is transformed in different directions, so the types of superpowers are also different. Also, don't you think the process of awakening superpowers is very similar to catching a cold or fever? When the human body is infected with a virus, the immune system uses fever to prevent the virus from multiplying. After recovery, the immune system is strengthened. So I guess, if we can understand how viruses transform the human body, it should be able to promote awakening."
"That's right," Gu Chao added, "It can be speculated that the reason for the mutation into a zombie is probably because the human body cannot resist the virus. In other words, if it can resist it, it may awaken superpowers."
"So is it because the virus is still dormant in ordinary people?"
"No, it's probably because they've developed antibodies to the airborne virus, but these antibodies are ineffective against the virus in the zombies' bodies. That's why they're infected if they're caught or bitten. But I wonder if anyone hasn't mutated after being bitten?"
"If we have it, we can separate the serum."
Clap, clap, clap. Lu Ming couldn't help but applaud them in his heart. They were indeed smart people. They guessed most of the facts through clues in such a short time.
Unfortunately, guessing it was useless. In the original story, countless scientists toiled tirelessly, but no vaccine was ever developed until humanity became extinct. The same was true of research on people with special abilities. After countless dark human experiments, no pattern of special ability awakening could be found.
"Also, I suspect that zombies can actually awaken superpowers." Gu Chao said with a frown.
"What?! Are we going to let people live? We go to chop zombies, but the zombies throw fireballs at us. What's the point of fighting?!" Yan Song yelled.
Gu Chao took out the small crystal from his pocket and showed it to everyone, "Remember that extremely fast zombie this afternoon? I suspect he has speed abilities, and this is what I found in his brain."
It was hard for everyone to imagine that such a beautiful thing could grow from such a disgusting place.
Lu Ming took out two energy crystals and placed them in front of everyone.
"I call this an energy crystal because it feels like it's full of energy."
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Chao's eyes. She actually killed two of those tough zombies in the afternoon?
Seeing Gu Chao's surprise, Lu Ming blushed a little: "These two zombies are so stupid. One has a flower growing on its hand, and the other is walking around with a brick. The rest are just like ordinary zombies."
Everyone was amused. How could there be such a cute zombie?
Gu Chao also smiled. He concluded, "So we currently know of three types of mutant zombies. The speed-type ones have transparent brains, the green ones are probably wood-type, and the yellow ones are earth-type."
Lu Ming sighed casually, "Zombies have so many different superpowers, do humans have them too?"
Cheng Ming and Gu Chao had a flash of inspiration. With so many people downstairs, there must be a few people with special abilities, right? If they could be utilized, they should be more powerful than ordinary people.
