Li Ning's gun was like a raging sea dragon, exuding a chilling intent to kill. There was no flash of the gun; only the wildness akin to furious waves. In the air, a series of frenzied dragons appeared, sweeping up nearly a hundred members of the Ice King Squad. They cried out and wailed, their voices meaningless.
Death loomed like an abyss, completely engulfing them. The warriors from Hope Gathering Place surged forward like hungry tigers, cutting off all chances of survival. The ground was stained with splatters of blood, transforming into grotesque paintings that mocked those who overestimated themselves.
Standing with his gun lowered, Li Ning surveyed his surroundings. No one dared to meet his gaze. Those from the Ice King Squad who attempted to flee found themselves locked in his sights, like prey marked by a predator. Their blood ran cold as they sensed the blackened corpses behind them, robbing them of their fragile lives.
Without becoming a Superpowered Individual, there was no chance for a final counterattack. Crossbows and long knives were absolute weapons against their kind, even more effective than long guns. Zheng Yifan had this knack for equipping his subordinates with different weapons at any moment.
The battle ended within minutes. Some greedy hoarders clinging to their possessions were astonished to find the sounds outside gradually fading away. A bold food shop boss cautiously poked his head out, only to be greeted by the sight of scattered flesh—perhaps not even flesh anymore, but heaps of minced meat, blood-red and grotesque.
The street was left with only suppressed breaths; no one dared to scream. They had grown accustomed to this oppression in the apocalypse. Those who screamed were already dead; only those who could suppress themselves survived.
"Report! Team member Leihong has completed the mission and requests to return," said the first to finish the task—a young man in his twenties with a fierce expression and bronze skin, muscles rippling with strength.
"Permission granted to return," Li Ning replied softly.
He remembered this guy well; he was one of Left Guard's fiercest wolves. During training, he pushed himself harder than anyone else. While others carried weights for ten kilometers, he secretly stuffed in extra stones to make it a hundred pounds. When others did fifty push-ups, he would do an extra fifty on the side, squeezing every ounce of potential from himself.
In battle, he fought bravely beyond others' capabilities, never hesitating when facing zombies as if confronting sworn enemies—he showed no mercy.
"Hey, Leihong, your Military Merit must be enough to exchange for A-Level Essence now?" Li Ning asked as Leihong brushed past him.
"Report! My Military Merit has just reached the required amount. I plan to exchange it once the captain is free," Leihong replied, his bronze cheeks slightly flushed.
"Go on then; try to activate a decent Superpower. Don't end up like me, needing the captain's help just to unleash your own strength," Li Ning said, seemingly recalling those dark days of his life—when he fought desperately and owed debts of gratitude but ended up being seen as worthless by everyone.
"Don't worry, Captain! There are no useless Superpowers here—only those who can't utilize them," Leihong said lightly with a smile.
"The captain certainly doesn't have any useless Superpowers; however, there is a difference between High-Level Superpowers and ordinary ones—it's significant! I believe our captain possesses a High-Level Superpower in enhancement; what immense power that is!" Li Ning said enviously.
"Captain, your Superpower must also be high-level? Even as a First-Level Esper, your lethality is impressive," Leihong remarked enviously.
"I don't know; there's no comparison available. Besides, all my power comes from special weapons—who knows how it really works? And you! What kind of nonsense are you talking? I'm just an ordinary guard; don't play that Post-Apocalypse game with me!" Li Ning said sharply as he kicked Leihong's backside playfully.
"Yes, Captain!" Leihong grinned and dashed into Hope Mall, leaving Li Ning to mutter to himself.
"Captain, that title really packs a punch!"
After their brief exchange, other warriors began to arrive one after another to report back. This highlighted Leihong's speed. Moreover, he was about to activate his Superpower soon and would likely join the ranks of the guards. They had already prepared themselves mentally for this as they set out.
Inside the mall, in a lounge of over a hundred square meters, Zheng Yifan slowly chewed on an Energy Bar. The shot he had fired earlier utilized the Shock Technique from the three major principles of Break the Thirty-Six Calamities with Guns. As for the technique itself, Zheng Yifan had gradually moved beyond mere adherence to it; each shot was delivered with the most suitable angle and force, no longer confined to simple moves. Of course, this excluded the Wildfire Spreading technique.
Leaning back in his chair, Zheng Yifan closed his eyes in deep thought. In the corner opposite him, there were two three-person beds next to a bathroom, specifically prepared for Superpowered Individuals after activating their Superpowers. In the future, all members who activated their Superpowers at Han Sui City Gathering Place would undergo this process here.
Two Post-Apocalypse nurses attended to them, providing warm water and food—everything they needed.
Zheng Yifan was becoming increasingly familiar with caring for Superpowered Individuals post-activation and had developed a comprehensive care plan.
What intrigued him now was what kind of Superpower Tian Ye and Wu Yingzhou would activate.
Time passed slowly like flowing water, and differences began to emerge in both individuals. First, Vital Energy gradually coalesced around their bodies, followed by a surge of power that caused the two female nurses to step back in surprise. They understood that these two were activating their Superpowers and knew that if they contributed enough, they could also attain this coveted power.
However, that was not for now; they were self-aware enough not to dare attempt something that might not succeed. Consuming Essence Fruit required immense willpower and a ruthless determination towards oneself.
Suddenly, a jolt of electricity coursed through Tian Ye's body before vanishing into thin air. Tiny static charges made everything with fur nearby stand on end, including his own hair and Wu Yingzhou's.
The surrounding Vital Energy became even more agitated, transforming into lightning that wrapped around Tian Ye's body, slowly nourishing him and stimulating his cells.
This was Zheng Yifan's first encounter with such unusual Vital Energy; while others harnessed the most fundamental forces, Tian Ye converted pure Vital Energy into Electricity stored within himself and every one of his cells.
Zheng Yifan felt a surge of anticipation at this unique display. It was an unexpected twist—possibly a High-Level Superpower—and it was the formidable force of lightning. Throughout history, lightning had been a power only deities could wield; figures like Lei Gong from Chinese mythology or Thor from Western mythology came to mind.
In every culture's lore, thunder represented punishment and symbolized unparalleled strength.
Now, this powerful force had descended into the mortal realm, stored within an ordinary human body. Zheng Yifan couldn't help but wonder where the limits of this evolution lay. Could it truly transform into a thunder god capable of annihilating all Zombies? He didn't know.
But he knew that his power would always surpass everyone else's. His unwavering belief instilled no fear in him; it was not arrogance, but confidence.
Gradually, the lightning dissipated into nothingness, leaving only the scattered remnants of electricity stored within Tianye's body. They once again concealed themselves, lurking in every minuscule cell.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Tianye sat up straight, roaring with all his might. His body was wracked with sharp pains and tingling sensations. It felt as if countless needles had pierced through him, pain seeping into his very core. Then, a large amount of black liquid almost cocooned him, as all the electricity within his cells was activated to expel the toxins from his body.
Every toxin from the food he consumed, every toxin from the air he breathed, every toxin acquired with each movement—living in an industrialized society meant that a multitude of toxins invaded his body. Now, they were being rejected by the current and slowly expelled from his system.
Zheng Yifan could clearly feel that the current within Tianye's body was unleashed all at once. The massive vital energy transformed into electricity was quickly consumed, leaving only a faint trace behind.
From heaven to hell was just a thin line; before Tianye had the chance to experience his immense power, he had already become half incapacitated. According to Zheng Yifan's estimation, if he could reach 100 volts of electricity within him, he would be grateful to the earth, and the duration of its release would definitely not exceed one minute.
"You've successfully activated your superpower! Hurry up and wash off the filth on you in the bathroom; this entire room is filled with your stench—it's absolutely disgusting!" Zheng Yifan's words were undoubtedly harsh, but Tianye didn't care because he could also smell his own foul odor and noticed the disgusted expressions on the faces of the two beautiful nurses nearby.
In an instant, his cheeks turned as red as ripe tomatoes as he hurriedly dashed into the adjacent bathroom. Following that were sounds of running water and waves of overwhelming stench.
"Crackle!" The electricity sparked repeatedly in the bathroom, causing Tianye to jump around uncontrollably. At this moment, he couldn't control the electricity within him; those cells storing electricity were releasing it uncontrollably.
"Fool! Hurry up and control the electricity! Do you want to waste your last bit of power?" Zheng Yifan's voice boomed like thunder, ringing in Tianye's ears and urging him to focus and control the current coursing through him. It was instinctual—like how a newborn cries and moves naturally upon entering the world—the current gradually began to be absorbed back into his cells.
