Gene locks, special abilities-
Which actually had the advantage?
To settle this question, Shen Jin called Yang Ao over.
To be honest, Shen Jin had never struggled on the brink of death. Even the first time a zombie horde chased him, there had never been a situation where he could have died the very next second.
So... it was hard to understand what unlocking a gene lock felt like.
He was a special ability user himself, and most of his subordinates were special ability users too, so he leaned heavily toward special abilities.

And that was only the most basic special ability. If someone acquired a special special ability, such as... food creator, feces creator, poison fart king, and so on,
They could all gain very powerful abilities.
Flashy and cool!
Although gene lock superhumans were very strong in one-on-one combat, what Shen Jin needed... was a Superhuman Brigade that fought as an army, as a team, not the pinnacle of individual martial prowess.
Most importantly, once Shen Jin had enough Tier 2 crystal cores in the future, he could provide his subordinates with serums that would let them advance to Tier 2.
They would not have to unlock their second-stage gene locks through their own strength, as Yang Ao had.

He was a second-stage gene lock superhuman, so his understanding of gene locks was certainly better than Shen Jin's.
"Brother Jin, what's up?" Yang Ao walked over. He had changed into casual clothes and looked thoroughly
