Lin Tantan immediately understood that this was a dark ability.
Dark powers also have different manifestations, such as the poison-type power summarized by the Academy of Sciences, which can spray out black mist, and those black mists are all toxic. There is such a person in the west of the city, but his poison is currently not enough to poison even a mouse.
It can also turn the space around the body into pitch black, forming a kind of existence called a "field". Other creatures entering this field may have their movements hindered, their mental state affected, and their five senses blocked.
The same effect also applies to non-living things. For example, when countless bullets are about to turn a dark-type psychic into a sieve, he immediately releases his own domain, which can instantly slow down the speed of the bullets.
In short, this is a power that's generally stronger in defense than offense, leaning more towards control. Lin Tantan feels that this power doesn't quite match Mei Bosheng. Of course, there are no bad powers, only people who use them poorly. With dedicated study, one can find the most suitable method for their use.
Mei Baisheng didn't know all this at the time. When he found out that he had superpowers, he was so happy that he became bored after playing for a while.
"I still prefer fireballs. They are so powerful and cool when they are launched all at once!" he said dejectedly.
Lin Tan Tan patted him and said, "It's great to have superpowers. Go back and get some black crystal cores. I'll teach you how to absorb them."
"Oh." Mei Bosheng took two steps and came back. "Are you sure it's black? Isn't it too hasty to sort by color?"
"I've studied dozens of people with special abilities. More than 80% of them have special abilities that correspond to the color of their crystal cores. The announcement has been made. Go quickly."
Seeing Mei Baisheng running towards his residence, Lin Tantan looked in the direction of the city.
The army has arrived, and if the survivors in Yang City who have not left want to leave, this is their only chance. They should do everything possible to meet up with the rescue team. Those who have superpowers but dare not or do not know how to use the crystal cores should also give it a try.
I hope the experiences she "summarized" can be helpful.
…
Somewhere in Yang City, in an ordinary family, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and several relatives who were still alive gathered in this house. There were more than a dozen people, young and old. They gathered around a radio and listened seriously to the local station, which was broadcasting rescue information. It mentioned that fifty rescue teams would enter Yang City, and their town was assigned to the eleventh team.
"Team 011 arrived at Jiangxi No. 3 Elementary School at 9:00 AM. The route we'll follow is: Wutong Village - Donghe Road - Chenqiao Village - Jingyue Garden - Convenience Center - Central Kindergarten - South Bus Station... Survivors, please bring your daily necessities, medicine, weapons, and other essentials and be prepared for evacuation. Stay at each stop for two minutes; no one will be allowed after that. The rescue team has limited vehicles, so survivors are encouraged to drive their own vehicles if possible. Vehicle performance requirements are as follows..."
After listening to the broadcast, a young man in the family took notes and drew a simple map on a piece of paper. "Mom and Dad, we'll wait at the convenience center. I estimate they should be there by 11 o'clock, so we should go there early."
The young man's mother looked worried: "But it takes us 20 minutes to walk to the convenience center, and on the way..."
"This is the closest. It takes more than half an hour to get to the kindergarten," the young man said firmly. "We waited so long and missed this rescue. There won't be a next time."
The elders in the room looked at each other worriedly.
These relatives lived nearby, and they found a way to get together after the disaster. They had also tried to leave Yang City before. They heard that there was a large survivor base in the provincial capital, so they wanted to go there, but they were blocked by a group of zombies not long after they set out.
During their escape, one of the vehicles was surrounded by zombies, and everyone in the vehicle was killed. Inside were two elderly people, a couple, and a three-year-old child. Two young men were also bitten and transformed into zombies.
The heavy blow made them dare not take any action anymore. They just stayed at home and waited. Now that rescue has finally arrived, this is indeed their last hope.
After hesitating for a moment, the young man's mother said first: "I'll go pack my things."
Her sister-in-law also stood up: "I'll help. Don't bring too much stuff. We only have three cars. You must bring food."
The two old men also started to move: "Let's check the stuff we made earlier to see if it's solid. We have to kill a few zombies later!"
The children also started to get busy without knowing what was going on.
The young man rubbed his head and opened a recording file on his mobile phone. It was a broadcast he had recorded before. Although this broadcast was repeated every day, he was worried that the broadcast would be paralyzed at any time, so he recorded it directly. When he opened it, a solemn yet gentle female voice came out.
"Next, I'll report some information about superpowers. According to research, the superpowers discovered so far include fire-related, manifested in the form of fireballs, flames, and fire chains... Flames are generally red, and superpower users can absorb corresponding red crystal cores to replenish their energy... Wind-related, superpower users can create wind and release wind blades, corresponding to cyan crystal cores."
"Each superpower has a corresponding crystal core. Absorbing it carelessly can be life-threatening. If you're unsure which crystal core you should absorb, please don't try rashly. When absorbing a crystal core for the first time, be extremely cautious and have those around you avoid it..."
As the young man listened, he took out a colorless and transparent crystal core from a small bag.
A younger girl saw this and asked nervously, "Cousin, do you want to absorb the crystal core? What if you absorb the wrong one?"
The ability in her form is rather peculiar. It is not any of the abilities mentioned in the broadcast, but the ability to manipulate objects remotely, so she is unsure which one to absorb.
The young man smiled and comforted her: "Didn't the broadcast say that? Space and perspective absorb this colorless thing, so this kind of formless thing should all be like this. Besides, the other crystal cores won't match either."
But the words used in the broadcast are "should", "maybe", "roughly", so who can be 100% sure?
The young man murmured to himself: "Someone has to try it. This risk must be taken."
In the last operation, his brother, cousin and younger cousin all died. There are more than a dozen people in his family, and he is the only young man. He has no idea whether he can bring his family to the convenience center. If his superpowers can be stronger... He can now control the knife within a range of five meters, but the energy consumption is very high. Basically, he will be exhausted after killing two zombies with this method. If he can be stronger, his hope of survival will be greater.
He gripped the crystal core tightly: "I'm going into the room, don't come near me."
At this time, the voice of the upstairs resident came from the balcony. It was the young man's mother calling out, and she deliberately lowered her voice, fearing that the zombies downstairs would hear: "Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, the army is coming, are you going to leave or not?"
The young man's mother quickly responded: "Let's go, let's go, do you want to go too?"
"Of course we're leaving. Let's go together. There's strength in numbers."
"Okay, we're going to the convenience center. You guys come down or we go up, let's discuss it."
…
Elsewhere in Yang City, in a building, more than 200 people were sitting on the ground with their hands tied, as if robbers were holding hostages. There were two people on their left and right pointing guns at them.
At the front, a bald man with a face full of flesh was sitting calmly on a chair, with several younger brothers serving him attentively. In front of them, several people with bloody heads were lying on the ground.
The bald man snorted coldly, "You want to leave? You want to follow the army, right? You guys are so short-sighted!" He held a cigarette in his hand and pointed, with an expression that said, "How can you be so stupid?" "Count how many people died in Yang City, and how many people left. Now this city is ours! If Ning City can build a base, why can't we in Yang City? You have to run all the way here? You are such a loser. Stay and follow Brother Long!"
The bald man became more and more excited as he spoke, and no one dared to say a word. The bald man escaped from prison after the apocalypse. He had thunder powers and easily killed the prison guards, stole guns, and recruited a few vicious people. He also robbed some women, and finally pretended to be a good man to trick some unsuspecting survivors into entering the building, and he also recruited hundreds of people.
Of course they would not go to the base established by the military, as their identities would be exposed by then. They would rather stay in Yang City and perish with the zombies.
Of course, they don’t think it’s a downfall. Zombies are so stupid that if they kill a little bit every day, they will be killed all one day. Even if they can’t kill them all, it will be enough to be the local tyrants here for a few days.
So when they learned that the army was coming and the people in the building were preparing to leave, they revealed their true colors and stopped these "people and slaves" who ensured their quality of life. These few who were beaten beyond recognition were the ones who secretly tried to leave after being warned.
"Listen to Brother Long, eat the soup and drink the meat, otherwise these will be your fate." The bald man's younger brother said proudly, then pulled out a gun and fired at the people on the ground. Some hit and some missed. The smell of blood immediately filled the air. Everyone in the field screamed and many people were scared to tears.
The bald men were very satisfied with the effect. They laughed and seemed to find the chicken-like reactions of these people very funny.
A woman lying on the ground had been shot twice, and a pool of blood quickly formed beneath her. She could no longer feel the pain, only the rapid ebbing of her life. Looking at the smug, ugly grins of these people, she felt only despair and hatred. In her clenched hand was a red crystal core. She had been too timid before and had never killed a zombie before. This red crystal core was also picked up, but she had awakened her water power the day before yesterday.
She didn't dare tell others that she was a mutant, because none of the female mutants here could escape the clutches of these people.
The broadcast said that the water element corresponded to a blue crystal core. She thought that after catching up with the rescue team, she would find someone to replace the red crystal core with a blue one. She could live a good life with this ability, but now it was impossible.
It will never be possible.
She smiled and instinctively absorbed the energy in the crystal core crazily. A huge and unstable energy was drawn out from the crystal core. The girl used all her strength to pounce on the bald man. With a bang, the girl and the bald man exploded. Several younger brothers around were all affected. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere in the hall.
Everyone was stunned. One of the more than 200 people who were held hostage suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Kill them! Kill them!" People jumped up and rushed madly towards the stunned gunman.
…
In this city, deaths are happening all the time. Everyone is trying their best to survive, but not everyone can succeed. The news of the rescue gives them hope and makes them more anxious.
Many people gritted their teeth and picked up the crystal cores in their hands. Some succeeded, while others failed.
Some people carried their bags on their own, while others went door to door to mobilize people, and they united to form an objective team.
As the sun moves from east to west, the rescue teams become larger and larger, and the pressure from zombies they face becomes greater.
On the west side of the city, after a busy day, they finally made arrangements for 150,000 people, loaded all kinds of supplies onto the vehicles, and formed a convoy of vehicles of all sizes. As long as people got on the vehicles, they could leave.
As dusk gradually fell, people here began to be on high alert. Then the first team came back, bringing a large group of survivors, and naturally, a lot of zombies followed them.
Lin Tantan also participated in the battle.
This is different from the past. In the past, when a group of people arrived, they would be busy for a long time, doing inspections, registrations, grouping, treating the wounded, arranging temporary resting places, distributing necessary food and supplies to those who did not have enough food, etc.
We even have to inspect and refuel the vehicles.
Bai Cheng is very careful and has taken every aspect into consideration. There has been no problems in the west of the city for more than half a month, and he has made an indelible contribution.
But this time Bai Cheng did not organize these things. He only led some fighters to participate in solving the zombies. After the zombies were killed, he would take everyone back to rest.
Zhu Xin's expression was a little gloomy: "Bai Cheng, I heard that you didn't treat survivors like this before."
Zhu Xin is the hedgehog. Among the 20,000-strong army, only one or two thousand people were left, and the temporary leader was Zhu Xin. He had a bad temper and a strong personality, and he disliked Bai Cheng and the others. He was jumping around all day trying to get his hands on the personnel in the west of the city.
Bai Cheng reacted calmly to this and let him interfere, except for two points. One was that the supplies were firmly in his hands and Zhu Xin was not allowed to touch them; the other was that Zhu Xin wanted to bring the people they trained, including those with special abilities, over to him for his own use and command, but Bai Cheng refused to give in.
Zhu Xin then found that he could only take care of a bunch of messy things, and he got angry several times. Sometimes he said that Bai Cheng was too unobedient, and sometimes he said that he had bad ideas and was individualistic.
Hearing him say this, Bai Cheng said, "Didn't you say I'm not ideologically conscious? Just because I took control of these people, you think I'm plotting and power-hungry. If I try to get my hands on these people you brought back again, you're going to chop my hands off."
When he said this, there was a smile on his face, and he looked gentle and harmless, but Zhu Xin felt that his face was full of sarcasm.
Zhu Xin choked a little and said with a straight face, "What's your attitude? We are all serving the people, and you still have personal emotions? Putting aside other things, some of these people are injured. You have to let the medical team come and treat them. And what about that wood-type mutant, that woman, what's her name?"
He glanced around and saw Lin Tan Tan, pointing at her: "That's her!"
