Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ten minutes later, Ye Xingchen and the others were brought to a dark basement.
Ye Xingchen quietly opened his eyes a little to look around. He only saw Zhao Hao beside him, he did not know where the others had been taken.
No one knew what kind of ability Ye Xingchen had. They only knew that Ye Xingchen was a superpowered person with enhanced physical strength, but that he was far inferior to Zhao Hao.
Therefore, other than the first batch of veterans in the safety fortress, a portion of people thought that Ye Xingchen was actually just a person who was a crony to Zhao Hao. They thought that he was just smart enough to trick Zhao Hao into being loyal to him and that such a person was extremely stupid.
If Zhao Hao knew how these people looked at him, he would definitely send them to their ancestors with a punch.
Ye Xingchen and Zhao Hao were brought to the room where the physically strengthened people were kept. There were more than a hundred people in there besides Ye Xingchen and Zhao Hao.
When Lin Sijia came in, Ye Xingchen had already announced that she had no supernatural power but was his family member. The Chen sisters and Qin Tianming were also treated as having no supernatural power like Lin Sijia.
Lin Sijia and the Chen sisters were cute and obedient, so everyone naturally thought that they were Ye Xingchen’s three women.
Lin Sijia, Qin Tianming, Little Black, and the Chen sisters were locked up in the same room as those who had no supernatural power. Only Mo Qi was locked up in a special room. Because Mo Qi had always been used as a weapon by Ye Xingchen, everyone more or less knew that she had a thunder-type supernatural power.
There was a surveillance camera in the room. Ye Xingchen used his superpower to quietly turn the surveillance camera to a different angle and then hid m the blind spot of the surveillance camera to start discussing with Zhao Hao.
“Big Brother Zhao, it seems that these seeds are just a cover. Their goal is to make us surrender.”
“Make us surrender?”
“Yes, I’ve been here for a week. I found that there are almost no superpowered people among the officials. They’re all ordinary people. After they drugged these people, they only locked them up. Other than trying to persuade us to surrender, I can’t think of any other possibility.”
Ye Xingchen pretended not to wake up and waited for the change. After half a day, everyone began to wake up one after another.
At this moment, they woke up with a dumbfounded look on their faces. Everyone looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts. They only remembered fainting after eating the meal sent by the officials.
Not only that, but everyone also found that they could not exert any strength, as if their abilities had disappeared into thin air.
Some people punched the wall and cried out in pain.
“What happened? Usually, I can punch through steel plates with one punch. Ah, it hurts!”
Everyone sensed that something was wrong and tried it one after another. However, the results were the same. Everyone’s physical fitness had returned to the standard of ordinary people.
Some smart people seemed to have guessed what was going on. They sat and secretly thought about how to deal with it.
“Is anyone there? Where the f*ck did you go?”
Some people shouted for the officials to come over and asked what was going
on, but no one cared.
It wasn’t until the evening that someone who looked like a leader finally came to the place where the superpowered people were being held.
“Everyone, don’t panic. We have no choice but to do this. We hope that you can join our official organization. Only under our leadership will you have a better chance to display your talents.”
When the 100-plus people heard these words, they were all burning with anger. They really thought that the officials were so kind as to give them seeds, but it turned out that they had such a wicked idea.
“What did you do to us? Why can’t we use our abilities?” Someone asked anxiously. This was something that everyone was eager to know.
It was not easy for them to awaken their abilities and become a revered god. Suddenly, one day, everything was taken away. This feeling was worse than being killed.
“Everyone, don’t be anxious. Look at what I’m holding in my hand.” As he spoke, he showed the thing in his palm to everyone. It was a sealed chemical test tube filled with a light green liquid.
“This thing was specially developed by our higher-ups for you superpowered people. Previously, we put a chemical agent that we specially developed for superpowered people in your food. This thing is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic, but it can suppress your ability. As long as you are willing to join our official organization, I will give you the antidote to remove the suppression.”
“Of course, I advise you not to be naive. If you want to pretend to rely on us to get the antidote, it’s useless because the antidote to remove the suppression of your super ability can only ensure that you recover your superpowers for a short period of time. As long as you are willing to join us, we will give it to you on time.”
“If someone is willing to be an ordinary person, we will let them go. Whether you want to go or stay, you can decide for yourself.”
These 100-plus people were shocked and angry when they heard his words.
“You guys are really despicable and shameless!
“Damn you!”
“F*ck!”
As he spoke, someone actually spat on him.
“Damn it, you vomited on my face!”
“Aiya, that bastard is standing too far away!”
“If you dare, come closer!”
The bosses of the various factions had always been praised by others and had never suffered such humiliation before. Therefore, they all cursed at the officials,
“Higher-ups? Hmm?” Ye Xingchen keenly captured this keyword. Could it be that the higher-ups of Jinghai City municipality were related to that legendary place? But why did they do this?
The official hurriedly retreated when he saw this. In fact, he was very unwilling to come here. If someone’s superpower was still there or was not completely suppressed, he would be killed if he was not careful.
Their previous plan to artificially create a superpowered person had indeed succeeded, but the price was too high. In order to obtain the resources to create a superpowered person, the government spent nearly ten billion yuan. Moreover, the superpowered person was only an ordinary superpowered person, which was far inferior to those who had naturally awakened their abilities.
Therefore, this plan was put on hold.
In the original plan of the government, they wanted to control the powerful superpowered people in these bases, especially the leaders, to hunt some powerful “monsters,” to get resources, and continue cultivating superpowered people. Moreover, they had many ongoing scientific research projects.
These “monsters” usually had immeasurable value. Not long ago, the M Nation announced that they had extracted a metal substance that had never been seen on the blue planet from the skin of a monster that they had hunted. They had fused it into a combat uniform that could make one invulnerable.
First, there was the monster blood that could strengthen superpowered people, and then there was the monster skin that could be used to create armor. The entire “monster” was a treasure..
