Xiang Yi watched as Gu Ning casually gave the crystal nucleus to Cheng Ming, pursed his lips, gripped the two crystal nuclei in his hand tightly, then with a reluctant glance at the corner of his mouth, he elbowed the Daoist Master Jia next to him twice and handed over a crystal nucleus.
Daoist Master Jia's slender eyes widened as he looked at the crystal cores and pointed at himself, "For me?"
Xiang Yi skimmed his lips, "Well, seeing as you've helped a lot too."
"Hehehe, look at this, how can you be so kind?" Jia Daoist said embarrassed on his mouth, but his hand was flying to grab the crystal nucleus in his own hand, silently thinking in his heart that just because of this crystal nucleus he would never lose his temper again just because Xiang Yi called himself a godly man.
The people with the crystal nucleus in their hands all found a place to lie down and then all swallowed the nucleus into their mouths in a very solemn manner.
Gu's father and mother were a little nervous, and Gu's mother even asked worriedly, "Can you swallow such a big one? Should I drink water to pour it down?"
Gu Ning reassured them for a while.
Only then did they apprehensively take the crystal core into their mouths.
It didn't take long for them to pass out one by one.
Xiang Yi had already tried this many times, this time he swallowed the crystal nucleus and didn't pass out, he just leaned against the wall and let Xiang Xu feel the fluctuations of his supernatural powers.
Those who didn't get this chance were a little lost and ate their breakfast in silence.
Seeing this, San said, "Don't all of you lose your faces, from tomorrow onwards, let's go out every day to kill zombies to get crystal cores."
"That's right. We can only try to get more crystal cores before most people react now, otherwise it will only get harder and harder in the future." Gu Ning said. It was conceivable that if news of the crystal cores were to be spread, it might trigger a craze for hunting zombies, which was certainly a good thing. But the premise was that she had to ensure that her people had priority in evolving, which would allow her to maintain her strength in future battles.
Gu Ning had a vague feeling in her heart that as humans grew stronger, zombies would not be their only enemy. The further back they went, as supplies became scarce, the war between humans would become more and more intense, even more brutal than the war between zombies, and right now, everything was still just beginning.
And grasping this time to enhance strength will be of great use in future wars, whether human or zombie.
When they heard Sango say this to Gu Ning, they were only slightly pumped up.
Gu Ning looked at her watch and quickly converted the time in that world in her mind. There was still plenty of time to stay here, even if she fell asleep for a few hours like that day, she would not delay things in that world.
She took out the pure white crystal nucleus in her backpack and was a little nervous, after all, Xiang Xu said that the green circle of light was a sign that the supernatural power had been stimulated, but for some reason she couldn't feel the supernatural power fluctuations, so she was afraid that eating this crystal nucleus would still have the same result ... The first time she swallowed a crystal nucleus, she was like a pig in a blanket eating a ginseng fruit, swallowing it whole and feeling nothing at all, and afterwards she was only horrified and scared. This time she decided to feel it carefully, the crystal core instantly melted into a cool stream of water on her tongue, as if something was guiding it, it flowed down her throat without the need to make a swallowing motion, Gu Ning could clearly feel the cool stream flowing inside her body, showing clear veins.
Xiang Xu was originally paying close attention to the fluctuations of supernatural energy after Xiang Yi had eaten the crystal core, but suddenly looked towards Gu Ning's side in shock: "What strong fluctuations of supernatural energy."
Gu Ning had already passed out without any awareness.
If she was in the space at that moment, she would have seen the green sea in the space that was originally calm and uneventful suddenly seem to boil up, the huge waves rolled up and slapped on the shore, the tender grass on the shore that was originally finger-length was immediately soaked by the water as if it was given a stimulant and grew up rapidly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, at once it rose more than a meter high. The wind howled in the mountains and the leaves rattled and stretched out in the wind to meet the new, curled-up leaves.
"How strange. Such strong fluctuations of supernatural energy, and all of it gone again at once." Xiang Xu said in wonder. As a rule, if the crystal nucleus excited the supernormal energy in a person's body, it would maintain the fluctuation of supernormal energy for a long time before it would slowly calm down.
Instead, Gu Ning's supernatural energy fluctuations came and went in a fierce manner and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was just an illusion on her part just now.
"How strong was it?" Xiang Yi couldn't help but say.
"If Yan Yu's supernormal ability is a stream and mine is a lake, then sister Gu Ning's is ... a piece of sea?" Xiang Xu said here in a bit of disbelief himself and added, "Even if it's not a sea, it's still much stronger than me."
Xiang Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Quickly help me see what my current situation is."
Xiang Xu shook his head, "It's still not enough."
Xiang Yi could not hide his disappointment, which was a hard emotion to see on his face, enough to prove how depressed he was now: "Then how much more is enough?"
The people who had just fallen into a coma slowly turned awake.
The first person to wake up was Stone Shi Lei.
The first thing he said when he woke up was, "I feel like my body is full of power."
Then he walked over to the wall and punched at it.
There was a bang!
All the people in the room widened their eyes in dismay.
Stone's fist sunk into the white wall, cracks opened up in the white wall with his fist at the centre, and the bricks underneath the fist shattered.
"It's a strength-based ability." Xiang Xu said.
The soldiers were happy for the stone for a while, after all, Gu Ning had said that the chances of inspiring a supernatural ability were very low. And the odds were already very high for them in total.
They didn't know now how much Gu Ning's news about the crystal nucleus would benefit them; in fact the first people who swallowed the nucleus were taking advantage of the best time, and the later they got, the later they inspired it, the smaller the chances were. The later they are, the less chance they have of activating it, and the smaller the "reserve space" they have in their bodies at the start.
The first group of people to consume the crystal nuclei will get the best resources and the most benefits.
This benefit will be increasingly evident in future wars.
Even Xiang Xu was only able to gain some fragmentary revelations from the fragments, but could not get a glimpse of the whole picture.
After the stone had awakened and gained its power, the soldiers began to speculate excitedly about what powers the next people to wake up would gain and how long it would take for them to wake up respectively.
Amidst the chatter, San smiled and asked, "Little girl, guess who will wake up next as well?"
Successfully drawing everyone's attention to her side, they all knew how special Xiang Xu was and were curious if she knew.
Xiang Xu's mental power had long covered the whole room, so the intensity of everyone's psychic power fluctuations were all in her head. A small finger pointed to Huang Mengyao.
The soldiers were curious to see if Xiang Xu's guess was right.
Half an hour later, Huang Mengyao did slowly open her eyes. The soldiers all tsked in wonder.
It had taken no more than twenty minutes for Shi to wake up from his coma.
Huang Mengyao, on the other hand, took almost an hour to wake up.
She felt the slow flowing river in her body, then opened her palm, her eyes looked unblinkingly above her palm, feeling her rapid heartbeat, she pursed her dry lips and concentrated slightly, and all of a sudden, a flame appeared above her palm, the moment this flame appeared, her eyes abruptly lit up and an extremely bright smile bloomed on her face.
"Fire Ability." Xiang Xu said with a smile, feeling the fluctuations of that flame's supernatural energy for a moment before adding with satisfaction, "Stronger than that Yan Yu's."
Huang Mengyao's eyes brightened even more.
Subconsciously, she looked in Gu Ning's direction, impatient to show her Gu Ning when he woke up.
A soldier coaxed, "Xiang Xu, did you just make a blind guess? Why don't you guess once more who wakes up next?"
Xiang Xu's finger directly pointed at Cheng Ming and Jia Daoist, then said, "These two, I just don't know which one is in front and which one is behind." Their psychic energy fluctuations were not too far apart, so Xiang Xu didn't know who would wake up first between the two of them.
This time they waited for another half an hour.
And Cheng Ming and Jia Daoist woke up almost at the same time.
Third Brother couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up! Let's see what kind of supernatural powers you have!"
Cheng Ming and Daoist Master Jia looked at each other and both revealed a smile.
Then at the same time, they took a deep breath.
Suddenly, there was a wind rising, a harsh gust of wind swept through the crowd, then several wind blades swirled around Cheng Ming with a faint sound of breaking air.
"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth ... What kind of supernatural power is this?!" Third Brother asked in surprise.
Xiang Xu also shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Cheng Ming scratched his head and said after giggling twice, "It should be wind?"
"That should also be a type of mutation system." Xiang Xu said, then looked at Daoist Master Jia, "What about you, Daoist Master?"
Everyone looked at Daoist Master Jia.
Daoist Master Jia's already slender eyes narrowed into slits with glee at this point, and he asked with a smirk, "Don't you guys feel that this room is suddenly a bit cold?"
Only when he said that did the crowd feel as if the temperature in the room had suddenly dropped quite a bit.
"Ice?!" Xiang Yi looked at the basin of water for washing crystal cores with a thin layer of ice on top of it in surprise.
"The floor is also iced over!" A soldier said in surprise.
People looked down, and sure enough, a layer of white frost had appeared on the ground somehow, and it was starting to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye--
"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth ... This is the mutation system again?!" Sango said with wide eyes.
Daoist Master Jia laughed heatedly a few times, "Since it hasn't been named yet, then I'll call this one the Ice Department from now on."
Then the only ones left were Zhang Xiaobai and Gu Ning.
This time they waited for an hour.
Only then did Zhang Xiaobai slowly open his eyes, looking at everyone's expectant eyes, somewhat stressed out.
He took several deep breaths before his rapidly beating heart calmed down a little, then after taking another breath, he stretched out his hand, and with a single movement of his mind, something more appeared in his hand.
It was a flickering lightning bolt that swam back and forth in his palm, faintly emitting a bursting sound that was a little bit appalling just to look at.
"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth ... Another mutation system?!" Sango's voice changed in tune.
"It just looks so awesome ..." Luo Long said in shock.
"Why do I feel that the more we get to the back of the line the more bullish this ability becomes?!" Zhong Xu half-heartedly held out a sentence.
Then all the eyes in the room instantly gathered on Gu Ning who was still unconscious over there.
Third Brother gulped and said in a daze, "Then wouldn't Gu Ning be a bully?!"
They felt tingling all over just imagining it, too shocked to speak.
Little did they know at this moment that what happened in this humble room today would be recorded in the future as a dazzling legend in post-apocalyptic history.
And today is the beginning of that legend.
