It's not that Li Nian is slower to react than other superhumans. Based on Zhang Lan's experience of both her previous and current lives, it's likely that Li Nian's superpower is quite unique. In the early stages, it only functions as a power bank and cannot be used for offense or defense. She must wait until she reaches a certain stage of growth before she can powerfully project it out of her body for offense and defense.
Zhang Lan's guess was correct, so she and Zhang Gang had been trying to suppress Li Nian and prevent her from truly growing up. However, what Zhang Lan didn't expect was that Li Nian's soul had now been replaced by a ghost with a bunch of strange memories.
Everyone quickly returned to their group. Along the way, Zhang Lan and Zhang Gang kept their expressions unchanged as they communicated telepathically, discussing whether Chu Nian should announce that she had superpowers.
In the eyes of the Zhang siblings, this woman was incredibly stupid to reveal her superpowers without having sufficient protection.
Zhang Gang: "Li Nian will be divided up by a bunch of superhumans."
Zhang Lan: "She brought this upon herself; she has no one to blame but herself."
Zhang Gang: "But I still hope to have her superpower all to myself."
Zhang Lan: "You used to have a chance, but now you probably don't."
Zhang Lan was genuinely indifferent to this. Whether Li Nian's superpower was shared among the team members or monopolized by Zhang Gang, in her view, Li Nian was equally miserable.
She really wants to see Li Nian suffer! The more miserable, the better!
Therefore, regarding Chu Nian's claim that she would reveal her supernatural abilities, she had no intention of taking any action and showed no unusual behavior. Her approach was very wise, as it ensured that no one suspected her whatsoever.
However, some team members have begun to doubt Zhang Gang's motives, after all, Chu Nian just said that Zhang Gang claimed to know the secret of her superpower, which is why he tricked her into coming out alone.
Thinking about it this way, they couldn't help but become even more curious about Chu Nian's special abilities.
If what Chu Nian said is true, then her special ability must have attracted Zhang Gang's covetousness. Otherwise, why would Zhang Gang call her out alone to talk? It couldn't be about romance, could it? Judging from their expressions, that's clearly not the case.
Although some team members had already realized that Zhang Gang's motives for bringing Chu Nian out alone were impure, no one wanted to question him. After all, Zhang Gang himself was very strong, and no one in the team except Zhang Lan and Qin Hao could beat him. Besides, he was also the captain Zhang Lan's brother. Who would go looking for trouble with him when it didn't concern them?
Back at the camp, Chu Nian announced his special ability to everyone: "My special ability is currently irrelevant to offense and defense, but it will be very useful to everyone. It is a 'power bank'!"
"A power bank? What kind of superpower is that?"
"Yes, I was completely confused by what I heard."
"I don't quite understand either."
...
Not only were the team members with superpowers discussing it, but the ordinary people in the team without superpowers were also very curious: "Niannian, when did you awaken your superpower?" "Did you only awaken it recently?" "It's been more than a year since the apocalypse. Didn't they say that those who could awaken their powers had already awakened, and those who hadn't mostly wouldn't be able to awaken them anymore?"
...
Chu Nian could only start by explaining things to everyone, step by step, from simple to complex: "I'm sorry everyone, actually my superpowers were awakened a long time ago, but I didn't know it at first."
"The reason I call my superpower a power bank is because it can help superpowered individuals recover or enhance their abilities, and even help them break through to the next level."
The crowd marveled at what they heard, but most remained skeptical.
"Zhang Gang said before that you would attract zombies, what's that about?" Xiao Li asked. In fact, the team members had been wondering about this all along the way.
Chu Nian smiled and said, "As you all know, people with superpowers are far more attractive to zombies than ordinary people. My superpowers are probably special, so my attraction to zombies is higher than that of ordinary superpowered individuals."
Zhang Gang chuckled and muttered, "That's easy for you to say."
He should have kept quiet, because the moment he spoke, the team members who had just searched the underground parking garage immediately thought of Chu Nian's "power bank" ability. Chu Nian had just said that her ability could even help ability users break through their limits, so they could guess what Zhang Gang wanted to talk to Chu Nian about by calling her out alone.
He wants to monopolize Chu Nian's "power bank" superpower?!
However, understanding something is one thing, believing it is another. Most people are skeptical of the so-called "power banks."
Qin Hao asked in bewilderment, "You said your ability can help other ability users break through to higher levels, is that true? And how do you help other ability users break through to higher levels?"
His superpower had been stuck at the peak of level six for some time, while Zhang Lan had broken through to level seven two months ago. This put a lot of pressure on him, making him a little anxious to break through as well.
When Zhang Lan heard him ask the question, she felt a pang of jealousy, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes that went unnoticed by others.
Although she successfully stole the male lead as soon as she transmigrated, and in order to prevent the male lead and the original female lead Li Nian from developing feelings for each other again, she kept a close eye on the two of them and always guarded against them having too much contact.
But every time Qin Hao paid even the slightest attention to Li Nian, she felt extremely uncomfortable. If Li Nian dared to look at Qin Hao even for a second, she would want to tear Li Nian to shreds on the spot.
The original owner of this body, Li Nian, did indeed have feelings for Qin Hao, who was tall, handsome, responsible, and especially powerful. However, after learning the truth about her past and present lives after her death, she lost all interest in Qin Hao.
Although Qin Hao doesn't have memories of his first life, and he doesn't know the true nature behind Zhang Lan's strong, generous, and other beautiful appearances, Li Nian still can't feel love for Qin Hao again like she did in her previous life and in her first life.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Lan had hurt her so badly, yet Qin Hao still fell in love with Zhang Lan!
Zhang Lan's subtle expression did not escape Chu Nian's notice. She found it amusing. This female lead gets jealous over such a small thing. She really doesn't know how she'll live in the future!
Chu Nian replied to Qin Hao, "A power bank, of course, needs to be fully charged before it can charge others. But the special thing about my ability is that after absorbing a certain amount of energy, and after about half a day of absorption and conversion, I can input more than one and a half times the energy into the person who gave me the energy. Moreover, I can guarantee that the energy I output will be much purer than the energy I absorb, and will be easier for you to break through than the energy you get from the zombie crystal core."
"Tch!" Upon hearing this, the team members became even more suspicious and unanimously scoffed.
Zhang Gang chuckled again, "You're clearly trying to trick us out of our superpowers, or rather, you're trying to steal our superpower crystals."
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Zhang Gang, you actually know far more about my abilities than I do myself, don't you? How do you know so much?"
