The world enters the age of myth

In front of everyone in the camp, a middle-aged woman about forty years old asked: "How are their skills? Didn't you compete with them?"

What she was thinking about was not to use blackmail to steal money. A stable transaction could last for a long time, but she could make countless times more money than if she hacked a wave of supplies.

On the contrary, she was a little afraid of these inexplicable mysterious people who had an accident and died in an unknown corner. Or maybe they were robbed by bandits in the wild.

In the post-apocalyptic era, there are many similar things.

"I'm very skilled, I... was killed instantly..." The answer came from a muscular man, who said with a slight guilt, "The opponent's strength is at least three times as strong as mine."

"And the moment I was caught by him, I couldn't move. Many enemies have this kind of immobilization ability, but he didn't explode his anima, which is really strange."

"Can't move? There's no burst of anima."

"Yeah... it's just a very strange feeling, a bit similar to being caught by a shadow monster. My whole body is stiff and I can't move. So before I had time to do anything, I was killed by him instantly - if he really If you mean to kill me."

"Is that so..."

"But the most terrifying thing is not the one who attacks me, but the one standing in the middle. I have a vague feeling that his emotional concentration is the same as that of Doronmon."

Doronmon refers to a 50-meter-long super-large monster with the ability to destroy cities.

The stronger the resentment, the higher the degree of emotional cohesion.

For them, Doronmon is a typical example of being difficult to defeat. If they encounter it, they have to split up and run away in panic. No matter how many people die, it can only be regarded as luck.

"Yes... I can also feel that the other party is very powerful."

Many people here have investigative abilities. Naturally, one has its own set of standards for judging strength.

"Can people really do this? Could it be that they are pretending?"

"How to disguise it? Can't you still disguise your emotions?"

The room fell into silence again, with only a few whispers ringing out from time to time, showing that these people were not in a calm mood.

They were sometimes apprehensive, sometimes excited, with a hint of doubt and curiosity.

The final result of the discussion was-opportunity!

A huge opportunity was born in this way!

In this world that is gradually heading towards death, suddenly a desire for survival is found in the dark environment, so that humans who are good at emotional control have not had such passionate discussions for a long time...

…

The person gesticulating with this big man was naturally the superpower Zhong Peng. Before the gesticulation, they were vaguely worried, but after the gesture, the Yunhai delegation had a general understanding of the local forces.

Not considered weak.

But not powerful.

Although the humans here are able to possess certain supernatural powers through certain special methods, their bodies are still only at the level of ordinary people, and even slightly inferior to ordinary people due to widespread malnutrition.

Physical fitness is the foundation of everything. If your physical fitness is weak, your superpowers will naturally not be strong.

After chatting here, everyone was in a good mood, chatting while warming the campfire.

Zhong Peng said with a smile: "How do you describe the superpowers of human beings here? I think it may have something to do with the strength of the soul. The ability that resentment can use, in the hands of humans, is only one-tenth, or even Only one percent..."

"It's almost impossible for someone like you, Lao Lu, to be able to fly physically."

Lu Yiming nodded: "Actually, they prefer auxiliary abilities, the ones that can increase the chance of survival."

"According to the level of superpowers, most of them are D-level. They can observe people's emotions and have very good investigative abilities. If our scouts have these abilities, their investigative abilities will be greatly improved."

"At most, only a few people can reach C-level. Like Huang Fusheng in our team, and several leaders in their caravan, they can reach C-level abilities."

Scientists on the Unkai are quantifying human superpowers, and people are trying to find ways to classify all superpowers using numerical values ​​or certain levels.

Class D, which is the level of superpowers that most superpowers in the Earth era can be born with at the beginning.

This superpower is very weak.

Like Lu Yiming, he could only levitate a needle at first, and some people could even control a drop of water.

D-level abilities, the ability to interfere with matter, are limited to the most elementary state. The spiritual intensity represented behind it is also limited to the primary state.

As for the C-level, it is the superpower after being strengthened by the first-generation x-enhancing potion, which is equivalent to that of Zhong Peng and Liu Xuwei. Their abilities are very effective in certain situations, but they also have certain limitations.

Zhong Peng had to hold his breath, and Liu Xuwei might fail if he encountered someone with high mental resistance.

Level B is the ability controlled by some weird things that humans have encountered before, such as the white-haired girl, the ghost with hanging boots, and some of the weaker enemies in this world. They can use their superpowers as they wish, with almost no restrictions other than some physical rules.

Level A is the level Lu Yiming has reached so far, which is also the upper limit of human beings.

This kind of idealistic power can finally surpass the rules of physics on a small scale. For example, physical levitation through superpowers essentially violates Newton's laws of motion. Theoretically, it is impossible for a person to grab his own hair and lift himself into the sky. Because when one force appears, another opposite force will inevitably appear.

But now, he can use his superpower to pull himself up and fly into the air. Where is the corresponding reaction force?

This kind of psychic ability that can resist the laws of physics on a large scale can be regarded as an A-level ability. This means that the idealistic system woven by the self overwhelms the materialistic system in an area.

And many powerful and strange things can also do this. For example, the faceless woman, the baby hand we met at the beginning, etc. can be considered to be A-level standards.

As for abilities above S level...it is naturally a more complicated world. Anyway, what humans can't reach is basically S-class.

Of course, this entire theoretical system is still being gradually established, and currently there is only a rough framework. It is actually quite difficult to truly use numerical values ​​to measure the strength of superpowers. After all, everyone has different abilities. How to judge the strength?

While talking about this, Liu Xuwei had a sudden thought: "Is there any kind of numerical system that relies on the degree of interference with matter?"

"It should still be under development... I believe we can see it when we go back."

Lu Yiming took out the remnants of resentment one by one from his backpack and looked at them carefully.

He became more and more excited and began to look forward to the enthusiastic expressions of those scientists: "As long as we bring these things back to the Unkai, I believe our scientists will be surprised!"

"Using emotions to adjust the strength of superpowers is a point worth studying."

"There is also the secondary development of the second ability. I think the ability of the baby hand is very similar to Zhong Peng. I wonder if there is the possibility of fusion and enhancement... It would be great if we could obtain stronger abilities. ah."

Lu Yiming vaguely felt that traveling to different parallel worlds to collect more research information might be a very good direction.

For one world, there is almost no solution to the disaster system, but for another world's system, there may be a solution.

After talking about this, everyone thought about "whether the magic medicine in this world will be more completely cracked in the hands of the Yunhai", "whether it can be better developed in conjunction with some of the original theories", "the third Can the second-generation x-drug be successful?" and so on.

Even a nerd like Zhong Peng joined the discussion with great interest.

These are related to the future of Unkai!

So this time, they had to go back earlier. It was not that there was a problem with material supplies. The logistics work was actually very sufficient. Just the high-energy food they ate was enough for more than two months.

During their first inspection, they gained a lot. There were 7 potion formulas obtained from the market alone, as well as 28 kinds of resentment residues. Coupled with the grudges killed along the way, the total number almost exceeds 200, which is already a lot.

"We must go back earlier and bring back the results! The earlier we study, the earlier we get results."

"Okay, let's go to two different markets tomorrow, the closer one, to get more recipes. What do you think?"

Liu Xuwei also nodded slightly: "That's okay... We will continue setting off tomorrow. As long as the people here are not stupid, there should be no problem in cooperating."

He looked carefully at the items collected during this trip.

The remnants of resentment have different shapes, some are like a stone, and some are like a transparent jelly-like substance.

They are all necessary components of the recipe.

"Next time we come here, we need to bring more trading items, portable food, simple electronic products, and industrial tools. I think the most precious thing here should be the soilless cultivation technology. Humans here no longer have any Once industrial capacity is reached, even nutrient solutions for soilless cultivation cannot be produced, so there is a lot to be gained in this area..."

"Moreover, with this stable trading channel, if the Unkai really encounters an unsolvable super disaster, a small number of our people can still escape here... Hey, although this ghost place is not a good place to live, place, but it’s better than total annihilation.”

If you don't worry about the long-term, you will have to worry about the immediate future. Overall, this trip was quite smooth.

But the most important thing is time...

Time is really running out.

There may only be six months until the dark night arrives...
