Everyone nodded in agreement. There was competition in these kinds of things. Everyone wanted to be valued by Chen Hu, and no one wanted someone with exceptionally strong fighting ability to enter their prison.
Otherwise, they would seem utterly useless.
Wang Dexuan's teammates followed him as he ran, and from a distance they could see the RV slowly moving forward.
His teammates asked, looking puzzled, "Captain, where are we going?"
"Go and get the genuine [Energy Drop]."
Wang Dexuan killed a mutated beast with a single blow, then said to his teammates, "I suspect that what Chen Hu sold us wasn't some kind of [energy droplet] at all, but rather a potion he got from somewhere that would suppress the upgrading of our superpowers."
The teammates didn't know what Wang Dexuan was talking about, but none of them were particularly powerful figures who had followed him to the gathering place in F City.
If they were truly that capable, Chen Hu would have already chosen them to go to prison.
Everyone deeply understands that in this apocalyptic world teeming with wolves and tigers, the key to survival lies in understanding the importance of teamwork.
So they followed Wang Dexuan and fought monsters behind Hua Mi and Gong Yi's house.
As the mutated beasts near the prison grew increasingly ferocious, the information groups in F City were filled with comments about how powerful the mutated beasts were today.
Someone in Wang Dexuan's team said strangely, "I noticed that there are very few mutated beasts following behind this house, and we are dealing with them very easily."
No one knew what was going on. Were the mutated beasts attacking the survivor settlement outside the prison? Or had Wang Dexuan's superpowers become stronger? Nobody knew the reason, so they just followed the RV and fought the monsters.
Around noon, Hua Mi and Gong Yi's RV had circled around to the side of the prison.
Gong Yi completed a small portion of his unfinished prison map, and then told Lin Zhigang to stop and rest.
Wang Dexuan and his group, along with a small team, also stopped to rest in the RV.
He walked to the RV, knocked on the door, chatted with Hua Mi for a few words, and then turned around to find Wang Dexuan holding more than a dozen bottles of "Energy Drops" in his arms.
The teammates who followed Wang Dexuan were all terrible power users; they had never even been to the Xiangcheng base.
They saw Wang Dexuan holding more than a dozen bottles of a shimmering liquid in his arms, and they all gathered around him with great curiosity. "Captain, what is this?"
Wang Dexuan is also a very loyal person. He distributed the dozen or so bottles of liquid he was holding to his teammates, saying, "Try them, and tell me how you feel after you've tasted them."
Everyone was confused, but because Wang Dexuan was usually very loyal and treated them very well, they didn't suspect anything and opened the disposable bottle caps one by one, taking a sip.
At first, no one could taste anything, and some people even gulped down more than half the bottle like cattle drinking water.
But then, the superhuman's face turned bright red, making him look like he was drunk from a distance.
Someone pointed at him and laughed, "You don't even know what this is, and you drank a whole bottle? Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?"
The superhuman, his face flushed red, turned around and punched the charging mutated beast, punching it right through.
The laughter of everyone abruptly stopped, and they all stared blankly at the scene before them.
Some people carefully felt the abundant energy within their bodies, an energy they had never felt before.
Someone picked up a stone from the ground, squeezed it hard, and crushed it into small pebbles.
They looked at Wang Dexuan in surprise and asked, "Captain, what is this?"
Wang Dexuan explained, "This is the genuine [Energy Drop]."
He crouched down and beckoned to his brothers, saying, "The [Energy Drop] is designed to enhance strength, and with prolonged use, our skills will improve rapidly."
“I’ve even heard before that an ordinary person who uses the [Energy Drop] for a long time has a high chance of becoming a superhuman.”
A teammate next to him nodded, "Yeah, I've heard that rumor too."
"However, we have always drunk [Energy Drops], and we have never heard of any ordinary person evolving into a superhuman after drinking [Energy Drops], nor have we heard of any superhuman whose superpowers have been enhanced after drinking [Energy Drops]."
The kind of "energy droplets" they're drinking in F City, covered in green mold, can only replenish a little of their depleted supernatural energy.
After listening to his teammates' chatter, Wang Dexuan thought for a moment and said angrily, "I'm going to tell you a secret now. The moldy liquid we drank in F City wasn't the real [Energy Drops], it was a pirated version."
"These pirated [Energy Drops] can only restore our overdrawn supernatural energy, and have great side effects on our bodies. If we use pirated [Energy Drops] for a long time, a lot of toxins and impurities will accumulate in our bodies, gradually dragging our bodies down and pushing our minds into a state of collapse and mania."
"Actually, you've all just tried the genuine [Energy Drops] yourselves, and you know how effective it is."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but one teammate hesitated, saying, "This genuine [Energy Drop] is so amazing, it's no wonder they all say that the superhumans who come out of the Xiangcheng base to do missions are all high-level superhumans. If you randomly pull one out and ask them, their superhuman ability level is much higher than that of superhumans outside."
"That's right, they drink genuine [Energy Drops] all day long, how could their superpower level not increase quickly?"
"Unfortunately, the Xiangcheng base does not sell [Energy Drops] to the public."
Wang Dexuan glanced at the RV and said quite frankly, "It's no wonder that the Xiangcheng base has sealed itself off. Do you remember what happened more than half a year ago when the Xiangcheng base was attacked by Chen Hu and Qu Shiheng together?"
Back then, no one stepped forward to help the Xiangcheng base. Now that they refuse to sell [Energy Drops] and supplies, who can they blame?
After hearing Wang Dexuan's words, the teammates gathered in the open space fell silent.
At that time, they were just ordinary survivors struggling to survive in the harsh environment of the apocalypse. They simply listened to everything that happened to the Xiangcheng base as a joke, as if it were none of their business.
Now that they have tasted the authentic [Energy Drop], they understand what the survivors of the entire apocalypse have truly lost.
