When Thomson woke up again, two days had passed.
During these two days, Nina had been taking care of him.
Meanwhile, James and his pair of legs named Lester, were guarding outside.
The hunters in the underground shelter did not know what had happened either.
Only two people came up at the beginning. After they retreated under James' intimidation, they never appeared again.
After understanding the basic situation, Thomson had an idea.
"Nina, is there another exit to this base?"
"Most military bases have one, but they require a specific password to pass through. I believe they don't know."
"That's easy."
Thomson walked out and saw James and Lester, who had been in the illusion.
James was the first to speak. "Boss, how do we... Deal with him? He wants to... Kill... Us."
"I know."
Thomson did not look at Lester. He looked at James calmly and said, "I can't treat your legs for the time being."
James' kneecaps had been shattered by the bullets. Without sufficient medical conditions, he could not perform any relevant surgery.
He only bandaged it up and took some anti-inflammatory drugs. If he did not treat it, he might not be able to stand up again in the future.
When James heard this, he did not feel disappointed.
He understood Thomson very well. Although his superpower was very powerful, it was not to the point where he was strong enough to make a living corpse.
If he could do it, he would not be human.
"It's okay. I'm... Already... Used to it."
Nina was moved by his words.
In regard to outsiders, she, who was even more cold-blooded than Thomson, was rarely touched by others.
This could be seen from her previous battle with Taylor.
Thomson had only broken the limbs of those hunters, making them lose their ability to move.
However, Nina had shot them in the head, leaving no survivors.
"How long can you control him?" Thomson asked.
James thought for a moment. "If... I can only control one... Ordinary person... I can continue... Like this."
When Thomson heard this, he handed over a bottle of potion.
It was the superpower evolution liquid.
"This thing can allow your superpower to evolve."
Thomson smiled and said, "I hope you can still help me."
James' body trembled. "Boss... Boss, you..."
People with superpower were very clear about what it meant to evolve superpowers.
The value of this potion could only be imagined.
As long as it was thrown out, countless people would definitely fight over it.
"There's no need to say thank you."
Thomson wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but he was sitting on Lester's shoulder, which was much taller than him. His outstretched hand could not help but freeze.
James quickly controlled Lester to kneel down.
Perhaps it was an illusion but Nina and Thomson seemed to see the muscles on Lester's face twitch slightly.
Nina could not help but smile. "Lester, you can live like this, just as you wish."
The muscles on Lester's face trembled even more frequently.
It was not known whether he was angry or scared.
Only then did Thomson realize that his mission to subdue his three subordinates had been completed.
It seemed that the system had recognized that the person under James' control would also be one of his subordinates, thus completing the mission.
Next, there were three more rewards.
"One: gene-optimized liquid type I ×3."
"Two: random elemental ability activation liquid (success rate 50%, can be taken multiple times. The success rate will be reduced to half of the original, current success rate - 50%.)"
"Three: elemental summoning card (can selectively summon certain elemental natural conditions to descend. The card contains elements such as wind, fire, thunder, and water.)"
...
There were a few new things, two of which were related to elemental abilities.
According to Taylor's explanation, the four attributes of the human body - strength, agility, physique, and spirit, each represented a type of ability.
This was an ability that belonged to one's own body and could be continuously improved.
However, elemental special abilities were not the same.
This was a gift from nature, something shared between heaven and Earth.
Of course, due to different natural conditions, the number of different types of elements would also be different.
For example, when a volcano erupted, the fire element would reach its peak and the water element would become extremely rare.
When the wind and rain interacted, the amount of wind and water elements would increase greatly and the fire elements in the world would be suppressed.
These were all external forces.
Like Thomson, he had previously thought of using his psychic power to control these natural elements.
It was very strenuous and there was no bonus.
It was using a huge amount of spiritual energy to control the power of the elements.
This also caused Thomson to exhaust his spiritual energy in a short period of time.
After all, it was not something that he could control, so it was normal for it to be difficult to use.
"Do you want it..."
The elemental-type special ability activation liquid was obviously much better than the elemental summoning card.
One was to give you the ability to control the elements and the other was to create a space full of elements.
The former would be useful for a lifetime while the latter could only be used as a trump card.
The power of the elemental ability was far beyond Thomson's imagination.
It allowed him to defeat Taylor, who was even stronger than him and had the ability to restrain all of his abilities.
Compared to such a powerful ability, the 50% chance was not too low. It was completely acceptable.
Moreover, this activation liquid could be taken multiple times.
Thomson looked at Nina who was beside him.
"If I give you a chance to activate your elemental superpower, but there's only a 50% chance of success, do you want to give it a try?"
Nina was stunned.
"Ah?"
She seemed to have not reacted yet. Could a superpower be given?
Thomson repeated, emphasizing the role of the activation liquid as well as the difference between elemental superpower and elemental superpower.
Once Nina figured it out, she said, "I don't care if I have powers. I'll do whatever it takes to help you."
