The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 114 Ji Lang

"Isn't this a wind-type ability?" Team Leader Liu circled the small white stone on the workbench again, then said to himself, "That's right, judging from the color, it looks more like an ice or snow type."

When the topic of ice and snow was brought up, everyone present looked at Pei Sihao. He was the only water-type ability user present, since water and ice and snow share the same origin.

"Xiao Pei, don't you feel anything either?" Team Leader Liu also looked at Pei Sihao, who was sitting to the side.

“I don’t feel anything.” Pei Sihao glanced at the crystal on the workbench, then looked up at the examination room next door. “Or maybe we could have that ice-type kid take a look.”

"That won't do." Upon hearing Pei Sihao's suggestion, Team Leader Liu shook his head vigorously. "He's only 8 years old. What if he absorbs it? Are you going to send an 8-year-old to the battlefield?"

"He might have killed more zombies than you." Zhong Qiang, who was standing at the very edge, muttered after hearing what Team Leader Liu said, but because his voice was very soft, only Ji Lang next to him heard it.

Ji Lang glanced at Zhong Qiang and then at Yang Xiao, who was idly leaning against the workbench next to him. He felt particularly awkward thinking that the two of them had superpowers while he did not.

He had heard that Zhong Qiang and Yang Xiao both had auxiliary abilities, but he didn't know when they acquired these abilities. Team Leader Liu had said that they might have acquired them a long time ago, but the manifestation of these abilities was not very obvious, so they hadn't noticed them at all.

Ji Lang looked down at his palm again. He still felt that his physique had improved, or perhaps he also possessed this kind of subtle support-type ability? He wondered if he should stay and have Team Leader Liu arrange a test for him as well.

Just then, the small white crystal on the workbench suddenly emitted a bright white light, so bright that the people around it could not open their eyes.

"What's going on?" Team Leader Liu was confused. Although the bright light made it impossible for him to open his eyes, he still rushed to the workbench to try to protect the small stones on the surface.

The white light vanished in an instant. Once their eyes had adjusted, when they looked again at the petri dish that Team Leader Liu had been pressing down on, the small white crystals inside had disappeared.

However, none of them rushed around searching, because they saw that Ji Lang was surrounded by a faint white light. At that moment, he was staring blankly at the whirlwind of snowflakes swirling in his palm.

"Is this a resonance?" Yang Xiao glanced at Ji Lang, who was in a daze, and pursed his lips. Why is everyone else the offensive type, while he and Zhong Qiang are the support type?

"Dad, are you feeling really upset too?" Zhong Qiang looked at his comrade-in-arms; they were both in a terrible mood right now.

"Yeah, this guy has superpowers, and I'm really annoyed by that." Yang Xiao didn't know when it started, but he just couldn't stand Ji Lang. He didn't know why, he just didn't like Ji Lang.

"I need to eat two more bowls of rice tonight to balance things out." Zhong Qiang and Yang Xiao's conversation, though whispered, was still heard by everyone because it was too quiet at the moment.

"Xiao Zhong, Xiao Yang, you need to have confidence in your abilities. Without you, their abilities won't be very effective either." In fact, Team Leader Liu had the two of them and Lin Yun do a series of tests together before. When the two of them were nearby, Lin Yun's ability strength was significantly doubled, and his physical defense was also improved. So, such a support-type ability is actually very useful, but the two of them just didn't realize it.

"Okay then." Zhong Qiang couldn't tell whether Team Leader Liu was telling the truth or just comforting him, but since he already had this ability, there was nothing he could do to change it. In any case, he was an ability user after all.

As for Yang Xiao, he was well aware that his ability could enhance the attack power of offensive ability users, so he was more aware of its effects than Zhong Qiang. Therefore, he wasn't particularly frustrated, since the difference in Lin Yun's attack power was significant with and without him. At this moment, he was simply annoyed that the crystal had been absorbed by Ji Lang.

"Go and rest, everyone. Ji Lang can stay here." The two children in the examination room had finished all their examinations and tests and were brought back by the researchers. Team Leader Liu then let everyone go back to eat and rest.

Ji Lang's wish to stay and be assigned a series of tests by Team Leader Liu was fulfilled, while the others happily led the two children to the cafeteria.

After a hearty meal, Lin Yun responsibly took the two children to the registration office, registered their relevant information according to the test results of Team Leader Liu and his team, and issued them identity cards.

The two children were very excited to receive their identity cards. They even saw their friends at the base. However, because they had special abilities, they couldn't live with their friends. But since everyone was at the base, they could see each other anytime and had enough to eat, which made them very happy.

When Lin Yun returned to the dormitory with the two children, Ji Lang was already opening the door to the third dormitory on their floor. His nameplate and his roommate's nameplate had already appeared on the door of his room.

That's right, Ji Lang had to share a room with two kids. He looked at the two little brats who had hit him before, and his expression wasn't as fierce as it had been at the research institute. However, he still told the two kids to get their own personal belongings, which Ji Lang had actually brought back for them earlier.

After returning to the base, they spent another half a day at the research institute, so it was quite late. After settling the two children in, Ji Lang went to the canteen and ate something casually for dinner before returning to his dormitory to rest. They would be going to the research institute early the next morning to learn about the research results of Team Leader Liu and his team.

The news that killing zombies with superpowers could yield crystals, and that non-superpowered individuals had a chance to resonate with the crystals and absorb their energy to gain superpowers, was reported to the other three national security bases that very night. Furthermore, Team Leader Liu and his team received feedback from the Huaxi Base that superpowered individuals could use corresponding crystals to upgrade their superpower levels.

When Lu Yuan and the others woke up and reappeared in Team Leader Liu's research room at the institute, Team Leader Liu, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't wait to tell them this information.

"In other words, we can obtain the crystals of high-level zombies that are lower level than us, or that we can kill together, to improve our ability level?" Gu Nanfeng summarized the words of Team Leader Liu, who was extremely excited but also a little drowsy from not sleeping all night.

“That’s right, that’s right.” Team Leader Liu nodded vigorously.

Sure enough, the mission assignment from the base command was quickly relayed via walkie-talkie. Apart from the two underage children, Li Jue and Lin Lin, the nine members of the South China Base with superpowers were now tasked with going to Province X to kill as many superpowered zombies as possible and bring back the crystals inside the zombies.
