Chapter 197: Superpowered People

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Xingchen had always adhered to the principle of not accepting useless people. If someone wanted to come here, they had to show enough value.

Even the other survival bases had the same requirements.

He was not afraid that they were ‘perverted,’ but that they were not ‘perverted’ enough.

A few minutes later, the group of people who came out together were almost all killed by this fish-headed monster. After the mutation, the animal was especially lethal and terrifying. It could cut open a person’s stomach with one claw.

The animal’s physical strength or speed was unbelievably fast.

Someone had once posted a video on the internet. A strong man was torn into two by this monster, which gave everyone a deep understanding of this mutated monster. People also gave this monster a name, “murloc.”

A boy was lying in a pool of blood. His breathing was weak and he was severely injured. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the murloc walking towards him step by step.

“Am I going to die? Damn it, if only I had awakened my superpower.”

A strong sense of unwillingness gathered in his mind. He hadn’t avenged his parents yet, and he didn’t want to die yet.

Suddenly, he felt a burning pain all over his body, and his vision became even more blurry. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he vaguely saw a burly man smash the murloc’s head with a punch.

“Captain, there’s an unconscious survivor here,” the person who smashed the murloc’s head said to a man in the distance.

“This boy is about to awaken his superpower. Fortunately, we saved him in time.” Another person came to the boy to check on the situation.

“That’s right. Let’s bring him back to the base and leave this place quickly. The smell of blood here will soon attract a large number of mutants.” At this moment, the captain carefully observed the boy, but this was a slow process.

Many people were killed and eaten by mutated animals before they fully awakened.

These people were a team formed by those who had recently awakened their abilities. In order to get more people to join them, they formed a team to hunt these constantly mutating monsters, including mutated people infected with the virus, and they also looked for people with abilities.

Everyone on this team was very strong. They were like the ones beside Ye Xingchen, who were invulnerable to swords and spears. Both their strength and speed had been greatly improved.

If one had to describe them, it would probably be an upgraded version of a certain country’s captain.

In essence, this was a situation caused by their genetic mutation. This was the same as the group of people around Ye Xingchen.

According to the current situation, those who obtained supernatural abilities from this acid rain were basically people who survived the previous two disasters.

They became the survivors. The genetic mutation caused their body structure to undergo incredible changes. Their bodies were able to adapt to colder- and higher-temperature environments more than ordinary people.

As the number of people with awakened abilities continued to increase, the number of mutated animals and mutated people on the streets of the city gradually decreased. This was thanks to the efforts of the people with abilities. They killed many of these mutated animals and threw them into the lake or sea.

Currently, only a small number of powerful mutated species continue to move around in some abandoned areas.

Ye Xingchen naturally noticed the situation on the street. At first, he saw groups of rats through the surveillance cameras and was worried about whether there would be a plague. Later, the people with abilities continued to emerge and kill these mutated animals in the urban area, making the city that was originally like a purgatory on earth return to its former tranquility.

The appearance of more and more supernatural people gave Ye Xingchen a strong sense of crisis.

In the past, he lived in a doomsday fortress with endless food. In an extremely comfortable environment, no one could threaten him. Occasionally, he would pay attention to how the humans survived the doomsday. It was a great pleasure for him.

However, things were different now. With the rise of people with awakened abilities, there would always be people who would be able to investigate what he did a month before the apocalypse. There would definitely be people who would target the massive amount of resources he had and his perfect apocalyptic fortress.

Both of these conditions were enviable and would definitely cause a new storm!

In fact, there were indeed people secretly investigating Ye Xingchen.

Although no one knew about this disaster in advance except Ye Xingchen, there were always some super-rich people who had some special hobbies, such as building fortresses that happened to store a huge amount of resources.

Although no one had the ability to open a dimensional space like Ye Xingchen, they were lucky enough to survive the devastating blow to humanity with this hobby.

Now, these people were the ones who were openly recruiting superpowered people on the Internet. Only they had the ability to provide food sources and safer living bases for superpowered people who were naturally willing to work for them.

Under the acid rain, there were people who began to mutate and produce abilities after drinking the filtered rainwater with radiation pollution. Ye Xingchen immediately decided to recruit a large number of superpowered people after careful consideration.

The human heart is unpredictable. Once more people were recruited, it meant that there would be more uncontrollable factors in the environment. As for the secret of Ye Xingchen’s possession of the space, it was impossible to let people know. If that happened, the news would inevitably be leaked. Once this situation occurred, Ye Xingchen would only become the target of everyone.

However, if he didn’t recruit people, once the other teams of supernatural people became stronger and stronger, the doomsday fortress he was in would still become a target for attack and plunder.

Ye Xingchen was not naive enough to think that these organizations had gathered their superpowered people to protect everyone. They would do anything for food.

Ye Xingchen and the others couldn’t go out because of the acid rain. Later on, Tian Qiu and the others fiddled with the improved seeds, so Ye Xingchen and other people began to try to grow vegetables in the safety fortress.

Considering that the food in his dimensional space would eventually run out, planting crops in the base became an inevitable trend. In the past, he only needed to eat and wear warm clothes. Now, he had to feed so many people. Ye Xingchen also felt the pressure.

After Ye Xingchen’s subordinates left messages for those who wrote and posted videos about their superpowers, many people expressed their willingness to come and take Ye Xingchen’s test and join his team.

One person’s strength was limited. Everyone was aware of this problem. Other than Ye Xingchen’s team recruiting, many other bases were doing the same. Some of them wanted to form a team spontaneously, while others were recruiting bodyguards and hired thugs.

The environment deteriorated, and humans evolved. A new era was quietly beginning.

Ye Xingchen gave them an approximate address, but for safety reasons, he did not let them directly enter the safety fortress for testing. If an enemy broke in through this method, everyone would be doomed.

At this time, Ye Xingchen put a large piece of thick rubber on the top of the SUV that had been corroded before and then drove the car to the top of the mountain that was connected to the safety fortress.

The four-story house that he had moved from his original villa had its uses. He would place the four-story house on the top of the mountain. When the new superpowered people joined, he was going to have them live here. It was also for the convenience of observing them. For the safety of himself and everyone else, it was impossible for them to live in the safety fortress as soon as they joined. The selection process was left to Yuan Bo and Lin Pei..
