After leaving Shen Qing, Du Yao's expression immediately turned gloomy.
How shameless!
After saying so many soft words, Shen Qing didn't even give him a good look.
This made him very unhappy.
Aren't they just superpowers?
An ordinary woman like Shen Qing can awaken, how could he be worse than Shen Qing?
Wait for him to awaken his powers and give Shen Qing another chance.
If she is still so ignorant, we will deal with her later! ,
With this thought in his mind, Du Yao didn't even listen to Zhao Qian's emphasis on the consequences of failed awakening.
"We don't know anything about the probability of awakening powers now. You may all be able to awaken powers, or you may all die... or even mutate."
"I have said these words twice before coming here. This is the last time I want to confirm to you, are you ready?"
"Yes!" The same answer came out all at once.
Among them, some lost their families due to natural disasters, some lost their families due to mutant beasts, and some, like Shen Qing, had people they wanted to protect in their hearts.
Either way, these people were prepared to die.
"good!"
"The power awakening experiment begins now!" Zhao Qian was emotionally affected, and his voice became excited.
"Group of ten, enter the isolation room and wait for the crystal cores to be distributed!"
"Once you enter the isolation room, you can't regret it!"
"During the experiment, any trespassers will be killed!"
After the rules were explained clearly, everyone lined up and entered the isolation room in an orderly manner.
Excitement was written on their faces.
Shen Qing looked heavy.
She knew that most people here thought that she would be the one who could awaken supernatural powers, so they didn't think too much about death.
By the time death truly comes, it will be too late to regret.
The experiment would start in a while. Shen Qing looked at Lu Qian aside and asked curiously: "I'm curious, how did you awaken your superpower in the first place?"
Lu Qian, like other members of Team Zero, was a person who awakened before taking the crystal core, so he was a gifted person.
But besides talent, there should be other factors.
Lu Qian was silent for a moment, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
Shen Qing realized that she might have mentioned his sadness, and quickly said: "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask this."
After all, superpowers rely on potential to activate. Without the guidance of a crystal core, the only factors that stimulate potential are pain, despair or a very small chance of luck.
Lu Qian blinked and fanned the moisture from his eyes.
"It's nothing, it's been a long time."
"That was during the high temperature period." Lu Qian paused and moved the timeline forward, "Our family runs a supermarket in S City."
"Before the heavy rain, some employees noticed that a customer was buying daily necessities in large quantities and felt it was a bit abnormal, so he told my dad about it."
"My dad was very cautious and shipped a large truck of supplies home on the second day of the heavy rain."
"During the months of heavy rain, we had enough supplies and lived a stable life."
"But it was precisely because of our stability that we aroused the suspicion of our neighbors. That day..." He choked up, "That night, the neighbors in the entire building ganged up and smashed the door of my house."
"They robbed everything from the house like crazy..."
Lu Qian's eyes were covered with mist again, "Just robbing is not enough. They blamed us for not sharing the supplies earlier. They used this excuse to beat my parents to death."
"I almost died. Before I died, those scumbags were still discussing the corpses of my parents..." Lu Qian couldn't go on. At that time when food was in short supply, people who had lost their humanity could do anything. If he could figure it out, Shen Qing would naturally guess it.
"At that time, unwillingness, hatred and anger overwhelmed my mind. It was like an exciting drug was injected into my body."
"I miraculously stood up even though my bones had been broken. I remember that everything around me was cold at that time. They looked at me as if they were looking at a madman."
"My mind went blank. When I woke up, I had already killed them all."
"That's it."
Shen Qing's eyes were filled with distress.
She could relate to Lu Qian's helplessness, anger and hatred at that time.
After feeling distressed, she realized something was wrong.
"Where is your original supermarket?" Shen Qing's head was a little swollen.
Can't it be such a coincidence?
"Middle of Garden Road."
Shen Qing's head buzzed loudly.
The middle section of Huayuan Road...
Isn't it the same supermarket where she made a big purchase before?
The manager at the time also helped her deliver goods several times.
So... Shen Qing's eyes were complicated.
"What about you?" Lu Qian raised his head slightly and asked Shen Qing.
Shen Qing thought for a while.
Her situation was so special that she didn't know how to explain it reasonably.
Just as her brain was running rapidly, she heard Zhao Qian's voice: "Preparations are complete, start distributing crystal nuclei and prepare for experiments!"
Shen Qing felt relieved and said, "I will tell you my affairs when I have the opportunity."
Lu Qian responded.
When the experiment begins, the two of them must immediately enter a state of alert.
The crystal nuclei were quickly distributed.
The supervisor watched them swallow the crystal core and then leave the isolation room.
The door to the isolation room was locked from the outside.
Once inside, you can only wait until the experiment is over before opening the door.
The isolation room is not capped, so if something happens, Shen Qing and Lu Qian can take action at any time.
"I'll keep an eye on No. 1 and No. 2. Can you handle the remaining three?" Shen Qing asked.
Lu Qian smiled and said, "After these few battles, my powers have been strengthened. Don't worry, leave it to me."
Shen Qing nodded.
Isolation room.
"How many of the ten of us can successfully awaken?" Someone looked for a topic to relieve the tension.
"half?"
"Half? Are you kidding? Half is too little. I think there are at least eight." The man who spoke had several missing teeth and looked a little funny.
"Eight? The success rate is so high? Then won't the streets be full of superpowers in the future?" The person who first asked the question was a little unconvinced.
"Hmph, weren't those in Team Zero once ordinary people? They just had better luck! Now it's our turn to have good luck." The front-toothed man said disdainfully.
"That's right. I've long disliked them. Why do they live in a single room? Why do they get special treatment?"
The man with front teeth smiled and said, "Don't get excited, good times will soon be our turn."
Ten minutes passed.
Nothing happened in the five isolation rooms. There were no supernatural beings, mutations or deaths.
Zhao Qian looked at Shen Qing for help and asked, "Miss Shen, do I need to increase the dosage in this case?"
This is the first experiment. If so many crystal nuclei are wasted but there are no experimental results...then the superiors will definitely blame him for his incompetence.
Shen Qing shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Not so fast."
With Shen Qing, Zhao Qian felt much more at ease.
In the isolation room, everyone chatted for a while, and gradually began to lose their patience.
"What's going on... Why is there no reaction yet? Could it be that they gave us fake crystal nuclei?"
"Hey, can you give us some more crystal nuclei? If we continue like this, I will almost fall asleep."
Shen Qing is calmer than them.
She sat there, staring quietly at the isolation room in charge, without any anxiety.
"Did it take this long for Shen Zhian to awaken his powers before?" Lu Qian asked curiously.
Shen Qing shook his head, "The crystal stone Zhi'an took is of better quality and the reaction is faster."
"These are ordinary crystal stones that they take, and it will take up to twenty-four hours for the reaction to be completed."
Lu Qian opened his mouth, "Twenty-four hours?"
Is this considered overtime?
Then I thought... wouldn't he be able to be alone with Shen Qing for twenty-four hours?
It seems that working overtime is not so difficult to accept.
"Yeah. But the quality of the crystal core this time is purer than what we collected before, so it shouldn't take that long."
She speculated that there would be results before dark.
Isolation room.
Everyone has lost patience and is even a little irritable.
"I think the idea that this crystal core can inspire superpowers is a lie! It's impossible that none of the fifty of us can become a superpower, right?"
"Hmph, you don't have any patience, and you still want to become a superpower? It's almost like becoming a joke."
"What did you say? Are you looking for a beating?"
The two people who had a dispute got into a fight, and the people next to them continued to boo instead of trying to dissuade them.
The two punched each other hard, as if they wanted to beat each other to death.
"When I become a superpower, you will be the first one I kill!"
"Humph, just for someone like you?"
not far away.
Lu Qian's eyes were cold.
"Is it really a good thing for such people to become superpowers?" Lu Qian frowned.
Shen Qing said lightly: "Humanity will amplify as strength increases, which is uncontrollable. Let's wait until they really become superpowers."
The scuffle between the two was stopped when supervisors intervened.
In order to avoid further disputes, the supervisors assigned the two troublemakers to two other isolation rooms.
At this point, it had been four hours since the experiment started.
By the fifth hour, there was finally a reaction in the isolation room.
Everyone was waiting out of boredom and were closing their eyes to relax when they suddenly heard a painful cry.
Following the sound, there was movement in isolation room No. 1.
The one who made the noise was a woman. Her face was pale and she was rolling on the ground in pain.
"Ah...ah...it hurts! My head hurts!" the woman howled in pain.
The people in the isolation room were frightened and stepped aside.
Shen Qing's eyes narrowed, and he raised his gun and aimed it at the woman's head.
The woman's screams echoed in the gymnasium, making her heart twitch.
Soon, the sound stopped and the woman died.
He curled up into a ball in a strange posture, his face was swollen and his facial features were squeezed into a ball, and his eyeballs were squeezed out of the sockets, which looked particularly weird.
Others in the isolation room screamed in fear.
"It's dead! It's dead!"
"Carry her away quickly!"
It is naturally impossible to carry it away.
The supervisor recorded the situation in Room 1.
The same situation happened one after another in the other four rooms. Coincidentally, the people in the other rooms were also women.
The difference is that the location of their pain is different, and their appearance when they die is also different.
Zhao Qian frowned and said, "There are forty people left."
