Chapter 172 Acceleration
Li Xingye was originally worried that Chi Wan would feel uncomfortable seeing this scene and wanted to cover her eyes.
But Chi Wan gently pushed his hand away: "It's okay. So, you became like that because of these primitive genes?"
Speaking of this, Li Xingye felt a little guilty. He touched his nose and said, "I guess so. It's just a guess. The core personnel of Shuguang were also separated from Bayi. The two bases have been in opposition for many years, especially recently, Shuguang has been crazy about Bayi.
"When it comes to understanding Shuguang, I'm afraid no one can compare to Bayi. To be honest, the people from Bayi did see Li Mingyu before, but at that time he used his supernatural powers to change his appearance in the eyes of others, and basically buried himself in the laboratory and didn't come out.
"So until later, when the two bases were completely separated, Bayi didn't know that the mysterious leader of Shuguang had actually lived in Bayi for a long time. It was also because his supernatural powers got out of control that the inside information gradually spread out."
Chi Wan was speechless.
"He must be suffering from paranoia...otherwise why would he hide for so many years?"
Li Xingye shrugged: "Maybe. Whoever finds out that he may have caused the end of the world will probably worry about his identity being exposed."
Chi Wan: ...That’s true. However, when Chi Wan saw Li Xingye about to reach out to take the protective clothing from the vines, he quickly rushed in front and snatched the clothes: "How dare you touch it!"
Li Xingye looked at Chi Wan, who had a fierce look on his face but a look of fear in his eyes. He wanted to laugh but felt a little distressed: "Don't worry, Wan Wan, I know my limits. Didn't I just say that this is a guess? In fact... not only does Li Mingyu want my sequence, I also want the original gene sequence in his hands."
He gently picked up the dull protective suits from Chi Wan's hands: "After Ding Yao was captured by us, Brother Qiang and the others repeatedly asked him to recall the details he saw. He said before that in one ending, he got my superpowers, but in the end he lost control and sucked everything around him dry. Do you remember?"
Chi Wan nodded: "So you are worried that your ability will be completely out of control like he said?"
Li Xingye didn't know what he did, but the protective suits made of special materials in his hands seemed to "wither" and turned into countless powders that slipped from his fingertips.
"Not worried."
He casually patted the remaining dust on his hands, and walked forward with Chi Wan along the path paved by the vines, while slowly explaining: "Perhaps it is because of the intervention of modern technology on your side, or perhaps it is Ding Yao's existence that has accelerated the process.
"We are also conducting more in-depth research on superpowers. Whether it is Shuguang, Bayi, or even the laboratories in our own base group, they have all made the same conclusion after integrating the existing information.
"No matter what superpower it is, the end of its evolution may be loss of control. It's just that some superpowers are weak, so they can't reach the conditions required for loss of control."
Chi Wan tightened his grip on Li Xingye's hand and said, "Isn't Li Mingyu an exception? Is it just because psychic abilities are more dependent on the brain and the psychic power of the psychic that the symptoms appear first? Then you..."
Li Xingye placed his other hand on the back of Chi Wan's hand, wrapped her hand, and said softly: "My ability is a little more special. You can understand it as if other abilities are like a lake. Once the water level exceeds the carrying capacity of the lake, it will overflow and get out of control.
"Then the upper limit of my superpower may be an ocean. Its limit is much greater than other superpowers, but it also means that once it gets out of control, the consequences will be much more terrible than other superpowers."
Just like Li Mingyu's special ability, after it got out of control, the people who were most affected were not only himself but also the people around him.
But if Li Xingye's supernatural power gets out of control, it is very likely to directly destroy the entire world, and of course, destroy himself as well.
No one can devour such a huge amount of power without restraint, and this was the outcome that Ding Yao saw.
For Ding Yao, after absorbing enormous power, he felt that he could do anything.
But if the power absorbed exceeds the limit he can bear, he will collapse first.
Chi Wan took a breath and said, "Then... what you said before, that Xiaoliu's ability had problems, is this also the reason?"
Although he didn't know why the healing ability could get out of control so easily, for Chi Wan, every step in the development of the apocalypse so far seemed a little unexpected.
Li Xingye sighed softly: "I told you before that Xiaoliu can drain all her life force in an instant by stimulating her supernatural power. But after she tried it for the first time, she found that the drained life force seemed to have somehow turned into energy and gathered in her body.
"She's very scared. She's worried that if she loses control completely, she'll destroy everything in the world, regardless of friend or foe. That's why I'm in a hurry to take her to the Bayi Base. Because the same thing seems to have happened to the healing psychic there."
Chi Wan was startled, and some thoughts seemed to flash through his mind quickly.
Until Li Xingye continued: "We compared the timeline that Ding Yao said, and finally found that the changes in the progress of superpowers seem to be accelerating."
Yes, it’s accelerating!
Chi Wan looked at Li Xingye suddenly: "Is it because of me?"
Compared with the previous timelines, the biggest variable is Chi Wan himself.
She lowered her eyes, unable to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. "Is it because I changed too many things that the butterfly effect occurred? If Xiaoliu and the others had their powers out of control earlier, what about you? You just sucked away all the energy of those people. Will it speed up further?
"Brother Xingye, I...is there no way for us to stop this? Since Sister Qianyu and the others have discovered this, there must be a way, right?"
Li Xingye held the flustered Chi Wan in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said in a gentle but firm voice: "Wanwan, don't be afraid, it's okay. If it weren't for you, how would I have the chance to stand here and discuss the future with you? I want to get the original genes from Li Mingyu in order to find a way to solve the problem."
Oh, right, original genes!
Chi Wan raised his head and looked at Li Xingye expectantly: "So you risked your life to stop all this, deliberately inducing them to use the original gene sequence to catch you, right?"
Li Xingye smiled and nodded: "Fortunately, Wanwan is on my side, otherwise if there were such a smart person in Shuguang, I would have no room for maneuver!"
Hearing Li Xingye's deliberately exaggerated tone, Chi Wan couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he still felt a lot more relaxed.
