Chapter 70: awakening and mutation
In the future this is actually called the holy element that can safeguard the people from undead and some other creatures like zombies.
This is the reason why zombies moved farther and farther away from the location of the current shelter.
Fortunately there are no walls in the place.
The zombies drifted away from this place slowly as they are still tier 0 zombies that did not have any strength other than the ability to poison others and turn them into zombies.
There is some time when those zombies would be stuck with the awakening people in the same room.
When they wake up after awakening they would see the zombies and start to attack them.
This is usually the case unless they are in an open place where zombies would go away.
Well this is also a big problem because there is no place to hide for the awakened person when zombies attack.
The awakening process will take longer for stronger people faster for normal people.
As for awakening some sort of skill or power.
Only a select few that is one in every hundred might awaken a power or an affinity towards something.
The highest number of awakeners usually has body enchantments.
Like improved strength and agility....
There are many elements and the awakened people with elemental affinity are rare compared to body awakening.
Even among them the people related to healing, life, death, time and space are far lesser.
Well these are naturally awakened people.
But the people that did not awaken can also awaken using the monster cores they got from killing various mutated monsters.
The monster cores usually did not have any affinity and are blank crystals.
The energy inside them can be used to awaken the people that did not awaken any ability.
Also they can help people improve their power.
At the same time the monster cores with affinity to certain elements can be used to awaken new elements too.
But training both of them would be an extremely hard work and costly in this apocalyptic world.
If people awakened too many things they would have hard time improving.
Vicky was stuck in this kind of situation in the past life.
Unfortunately he awakened something like jack of all trades.
So he has affinity to everything but he cannot improve anything at the same time.
That is because he usually did not get monster cores.
Even if he get a monster core it is not enough to improve anything properly.
When using the monster core he has to improve his affinity collectively.
Even if he wants to improve a single thing the energy in the monster core would be wasted.
...…..
Time passed by slowly for over 5 hours.
The first person in the group awakened.
Immediately at that time few more people awakened.
In all of them, there is an awakened person that has awakened the improved his strength.
Now the people that woke up looked around and wanted to find if the other people have awakened or not.
When they found that other people are still in comatose state, they went to steal things.
But the people woke up in batches and within 15 minutes more than half of the people awakened.
Some of them area guards and the immediately took the action to control the mob.
At that time they noticed that many people are actually missing.
Far away they noticed that the slowly moving shadows that looked like humans.
They did not believe that others would enter into the rain as it was very dangerous as there is a chance of acid rain.
So the panicked crowd calmed down quickly under the fear.
The soldiers also woken in batches and they found that some people has actually awakened super natural powers.
The person with improved strength has broken the concrete slab when he woke up.
Someone actually awakened the fire affinity and immediately there is a strong fire on his hands.
Fortunately he was sober and did not burn down anything.
There is a person that showed water affinity and created water bubbles flying by her side.
As time passed by the new batch of people woken up but the woken up batch of people has more number of awakened with various affinities.
Radha and Sakura woken up before Vicky and them each awakened a different element.
Radha awakened the affinity of water while Sakura awakened the affinity of fire.
Vicky is the last one to wake up and during this time Radha spoke in Vicky's stead telling people to get ready for any form of attack.
The zombies would become more active during the night time and they are extremely dangerous.
Finally after 8 hours Vicky woke up.
He was also awakened and his power is jack of all trades again.
Vicky sighed and determined in his heart that he would be strong in the future.
Well he also has a system that feeds on the spars also known as monster cores.
Vicky immediately got to work and told the people to check how many people are actually missing right now.
The military advisors and the old minister also came to Vicky.
At the same time Vicky told them to organize all the people that have awakened any form of power or anything.
There are real people and there are also fakes.
Fortunately Vicky's jack of all trades also has the sensing capability and he can tell if the other person is really awakened or not.
Vicky wants to become famous with his sensory type ability in the future.
So he immediately started to get into the work.
After calculation there are more than 5000 awakened people including themselves.
At the same time there are more than 500,000 people that are missing with a rough estimate.
Vicky face changed immediately.
Living in the open space with so many zombies around would be no different than suicide.
So Vicky first took his girls to scout around before all the....
