Gong Yi frowned.
These mutated beasts are at least twice as strong as they were during the day.
But it is still within his control.
At this moment, a large group of superhumans rushed out from the survivors' settlement.
They began attacking the frenzied mutated beasts, and everyone naturally gathered around the RV.
Wang Dexuan knocked on the RV door and shouted loudly inside.
"Hey, you either go into the settlement or come out and help kill the mutated beasts."
They didn't know that Gong Yi didn't even need to leave the RV to kill all the mutated beasts that rushed up from all around.
But Hua Mi still got out of the RV with her long knife and joined the other ability users in killing mutated beasts.
Some of the superhumans were talking in hushed tones.
"I feel like the mutated beasts were much easier to kill tonight."
"Perhaps our abilities have improved again,"
"Since I have had enough [Energy Drops] to replenish my powers, my power level has been increasing day by day."
"It seems that to improve my abilities, I need to fight more monsters and drink more [Energy Drops] to improve them faster."
His statement was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, except for Hua Mi, who silently continued to kill the mutated beasts.
Before dawn, a group of people came out of the prison. They were Chen Hu's men, and they had joined in killing mutated beasts in order to earn crystal cores.
When they arrived at Gong Yi's RV, someone pointed at Hua Mi and waved to her.
"Hey, come here for a second."
The mutated beasts outside F City will gradually weaken as dawn breaks.
Hua Mi recorded this discovery on her phone, planning to write an article about it when she got back and submit it to the garrison's internal reference to earn some money.
Suddenly, she heard a group of superhumans coming out of the prison calling her name.
Hua Mi looked up and looked over, but at first she didn't understand who the other person was calling.
She saw the other person point at her again and beckon her with their finger, looking quite flirtatious.
Hua Mi frowned, holding her long sword, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The leader of the superpowered individuals beckoned to Hua Mi with his finger, saying, "Come here when I tell you to."
Wang Dexuan quietly sidled up behind Hua Mi and whispered, "They're selecting outstanding ability users, and they've probably got their eye on you."
Hua Mi stood still, "But I don't think much of them."
Wang Dexuan looked at Hua Mi with surprise. There was actually someone who was thinking of refusing Chen Hu's choice?
He said anxiously to Hua Mi,
Do you know what it means to refuse their selection?
"When you're in the settlement, no one will sell you [Energy Drops] anymore."
Chen Hu doesn't like people who don't know how to appreciate kindness.
Wang Dexuan reminded Hua Mi, and then added,
"I really want to be chosen by Chen Hu's men so that I can go to prison."
"No matter what, living in prison still provides some protection for our personal safety."
Hua Mi said coldly, "In this apocalypse, there is no absolutely safe place."
Even in the impregnable city of Xiangcheng, no one would dare guarantee 100% safety, let alone in a prison with concrete walls like this. Chen Hu's henchmen, seeing Hua Mi's ungrateful behavior—refusing to come when summoned—coldly snorted.
Just as he was about to lash out, a teammate whispered something to him.
"The fighting power of these mutated beasts has increased significantly tonight."
"Because the number is small, we mistakenly think they are easy to kill."
All the superhumans around them focused their attention on Chen Hu's henchmen.
The leader asked, "What did you say? How did you get stronger again?"
His expression was one of deep worry, so Hua Mi turned her head to look at Wang Dexuan, asking him with her eyes what he meant.
Wang Dexuan tilted his head, raised one hand to cover his mouth, and whispered to Hua Mi.
"The mutated beasts outside F City are weak during the day but stronger at night."
"But every night, their fighting power is constantly increasing, and their strength during the day when they are in a weakened state is also constantly increasing."
Hua Mi looked thoughtfully at the mutated beasts in the distance.
She asked Wang Dexuan, "Didn't Chen Hu think of a solution to this situation?"
Wang Dexuan shook his head, "At first, the superhumans in the prison could deal with these mutated beasts, but as time went on, the mutated beasts became increasingly difficult to kill."
"Our ability levels increase very slowly. I don't know why, but the more powerful the ability user, the slower their ability level increases."
Hua Mi nodded in understanding. In her previous life, she also used zombie crystal cores to replenish her superpower energy, so after her superpower reached a certain level, she could no longer advance.
Therefore, as both the survivors and the mutated beasts continuously increase their combat power, the mutated beasts' combat power increases faster, while the survivors' combat power increases more slowly.
What's even more frightening is that as long as superhumans continue to absorb the energy from zombie crystal cores, their ability levels will increase more and more slowly.
Ultimately, they will be powerless against the powerful mutated beasts.
Wang Dexuan looked worried. "I'm really afraid that the combat power of these mutated beasts will eventually increase to the point where none of us can kill them."
Seeing that he was really anxious, Hua Mi beckoned and walked with Wang Dexuan to a secluded place.
She took out a bottle of shimmering "energy droplets" from her fanny pack and said to Wang Dexuan,
"I happen to have a bottle of [Energy Drops] here, which I brought from the Xiangcheng base."
"Thank you for telling me so much. Now I'm giving you this bottle of [Energy Drops]."
Wang Dexuan waved his hand, intending to refuse, but his gaze fell on the bottle of [Energy Drops] in Hua Mi's hand.
He suddenly jolted awake and uttered a sound of doubt.
"Does this look like the [Energy Droplet] produced at the Xiangcheng base?"
Wang Dexuan had never been to the Xiangcheng base. Before Wang Dexuan awakened his superpowers, Hua Mi had already sealed off the Xiangcheng base.
By the time Wang Dexuan had a large demand for [Energy Drops], the [Energy Drops] from the Xiangcheng base had become a scarce commodity on the market.
He reached out and took the [Energy Drop] from Hua Mi's hand, looked it over from left to right, and then took out the [Energy Drop] from F City in his backpack to compare it.
It's fine if we don't compare, but once we do, the inferiority becomes immediately apparent.
All that could be seen in Wang Dexuan's hand was a bottle of F City [Energy Drop] mineral water. The bottle had been reused many times, and the cap was already curled up.
The inside of the bottle was slippery and covered with a layer of something I couldn't identify.
The original transparent disposable mineral water bottle has now become rough and brittle, as if it were covered with a layer of dirty dust.
