49 Outrageous Superpowers and the Shelter

"Okay! We've successfully made contact."

Su Qiangwei's voice echoed in Ma Ran's mind. "The fact that you can transmit your voice means you're alive and conscious, right?"

"I haven't been researching the [Concentric] ability much lately; I've been training [Aero-control]."

"Heh heh... Although you're a little stronger than me right now, you can't fly, can you?"

"Ah, I'm getting off track, sorry."

"Let's get straight to the point!"

"We don't know what the situation is in Area A3 right now. For the time being, we can only transmit information unilaterally through superpowers."

"Ma Ran, Ma Ran, are you listening?"

"Sigh... The [Concentric] ability can only transmit messages one-way, and I can't talk to you directly. It's frustrating..."

As she spoke, Su Qiangwei seemed to receive a warning, and her tone suddenly became serious. "From now on, try to stay quiet and listen to me."

"It's been four and a half hours since Area A3 lost contact."

"The entire Area A3 is covered by electromagnetic waves similar to 'Type A Radiation.' All electronic equipment has completely failed, and even near-orbit satellites can't capture what's happening in this area."

"The situation is very serious. We have no idea what's happening inside, and our intelligence is very limited."

"Since you lost contact until now..."

"Nanyang, Shiyan, Suizhou, and Jingmen have each dispatched four elite support teams, a total of seventy-four people."

Hearing this, Ma Ran's brow furrowed.

These people coming to support wouldn't be weak.

Once they were parasitized by the Nightmare Spores, the Nightmare Mother's strength would increase by another level.

After a moment of thought, Ma Ran's brow relaxed, and he regained his composure.

The rescue team's scale was slightly larger than expected.

But...

It was only seventy-four people. It wasn't a big problem; the situation was still under control.

As long as he didn't make any rookie mistakes, he could save the vast majority of people in Area A3!

"After they entered Area A3, all contact was lost."

Su Qiangwei's voice carried a hint of worry and anxiety. "Not only did they fail to transmit any intelligence, but not a single person has safely left Area A3."

"The Director said your biggest task right now is to ensure your own safety!"

"One hundred and fifty meters northeast of the armory, lift the manhole cover and walk five hundred meters down the sewer, and you'll find a nuclear-grade shelter."

"If you still have your Supernatural Phenomenon Researcher Certificate, you can get in by swiping it."

"If you accidentally lost it, the password is SJHP79234781FRCS."

"Let me repeat that, the password is SJHP79234781FRCS!"

"Actually, I think with your intelligence level, you didn't need me to repeat it at all. Old Huang kept nagging next to me."

"I hope I haven't wasted your precious time."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Su Qiangwei's voice sounded again.

"Ma Ran."

"If it were you, you probably wouldn't go to the shelter, would you?"

"The help we can provide isn't very meaningful to you."

The girl said with great certainty, in a tone that stated objective fact, "You show-off, you'll definitely find a way to save everyone."

"I know you too well."

"Anyway, the message has been delivered."

"Whatever you do is your freedom."

"If it were you, you should be capable of making the most correct judgment."

"So..."

"Please, please..."

"Don't let down my trust in you!"

"Live for me!"

With that, Su Qiangwei abruptly changed the subject.

She spoke to herself, "You only went to Area A3 for a few days, and that place completely lost contact."

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"So..."

"It's [Limited Precognition], isn't it?"

Student Su Qiangwei transformed into a master detective, her pleasant voice carrying the melody of wisdom: "You foresaw the disaster in advance, but for some reason, you decided to act alone."

"Based on the current situation, the sudden incident in Area A3 is indeed not something that can be solved by sheer numbers."

"It's just that we're too weak right now and can't help much."

"So, I don't blame you."

"However…"

"I'll catch up soon."

"When that time comes, you can just be a full-time prophet!"

"Oh my god… I'm exhausted!"

"The consumption from [Concentric] is way too high!"

"I'll contact you later!"

The mental link was severed!

After hearing Su Qiangwei's words, Ma Ran had only one thought.

Is [Myriad Transformations]…

really a superpower?

What are its limitations?

Does it really not need to abide by the laws of superpowers?

Su Qiangwei's existence made the law of "gaining something means losing something" sound like a joke!

Could it be true, as she said, that by obtaining [Myriad Transformations], she also lost her troubles?

The Sister Die of this era had quite a good temper, not immediately crushing Su Qiangwei to death…

In his past life, by the time Ma Ran became a guardian of civilization, Su Qiangwei had already died on the battlefield, her corpse dried out.

Therefore, Ma Ran's understanding of her abilities had always been limited to the descriptions in the files.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did Ma Ran realize how outrageous [Myriad Transformations] truly was!

Proper superpowered individuals were like Sister Die and Brother He.

In the initial awakening stage, they would use [Concentric] to exchange a few words from afar, or use [Aero-control] to fly a few hundred meters, and then their mental energy would be depleted, forcing them to pay a "price."

Yet, Su Qiangwei could use her copied abilities to chatter endlessly in Ma Ran's mind, her mouth as busy as a teenage girl discussing her idol with her best friend.

If ordinary superpowered individuals were blessed by providence, then Su Qiangwei was practically being force-fed by providence itself!

Her style was completely different from everyone else's!

Come to think of it, there weren't a small number of Earth's prodigies with potential similar to Su Qiangwei's.

Unfortunately…

Not a single one of them managed to fully mature before Earth's destruction.

They either died early, or under the so-called "great trend," they betrayed their home planet, underwent genetic modification surgery, and defected to alien civilizations, changing their citizenship.

Ma Ran shook his head, suppressing his chaotic thoughts.

He took out paper and a pen from the general store, wrote down a password, and handed it to Song Chu.

"You should know how to get to the armory."

"Starting from the armory, go northeast for 150 meters, lift the manhole cover, and follow the sewer for 500 meters. There's a shelter there."

"This is the access password."

Upon hearing this, Song Chu, who was about to take the note, froze.

He slowly retracted his right hand, his eyes filled with annoyance, looking as if his feelings were deeply unsettled: "What do you take me for?"

"Do you see me as someone who fears death?"

"Like a rat, hiding in a safe place."

"And then, after you've dealt with all the trouble, I'll shamelessly pop out and tell others that I fought alongside you and experienced all of this together?"

Ma Ran was stunned for a moment, then a smile suddenly bloomed on his face.

He reached out and patted Song Chu's shoulder: "You're overthinking it."

"I meant for you to be the bait."

Thanks to "╰＊落ㄋの叶" for the 110 points!

Thanks to "My Little Dried Fish" for gifting Ma Ran's little chicken legs (100 points)!

Thanks to "Don't Want to Rely on the Mountain" for the 100 points!

Thanks to "Mo Yu Xing Yuan" for the 100 points!

Thanks! (▽)

Song Chu: You're pulling all these stunts just to make me a decoy?

Ma Ran: 1.
