Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Public Reveal of Mental Element Ability
Su Jin and others were quite surprised: Liang Jiuhui actually announced the existence of the Mental Element Ability during the summary meeting.
The people at the base were instantly unsettled, wondering what kind of ability this was.
"In short, when Mental Element Ability Users first awaken, they are like living maps, able to know the number of zombies and humans within a certain range, and they can also lead everyone to avoid danger,"
"In the later stages, they can use spiritual power, which we ordinary people cannot see, to create Defense Barriers, or even to attack others, just like the Mutated Zombie on the animals the day before. The Heart Talk Team and Captain Ye’s attacks were blocked by the Defense Barrier of that Mental Element Zombie,"
Jian Zongzheng and others were also listening intently, finding this ability to be quite incredible. Setting aside the later defensive and offensive capabilities, the mere functionality of a living map could bring such convenience to a team!
"What kind of divine ability is this, yet we have not seen it before,"
Han Xiao exclaimed loudly, wondering how the base had come to know of this ability.
However, Liang Jiuhui soon provided a reasonable explanation.
The Mental Element Ability was also something that the people of the base learned about through a member of a team they encountered while out killing zombies, and the base had also captured a few Mental Element Zombies, which led to this conclusion.
"In short, if anyone feels that their Sixth Sense is unusually accurate, or even senses things that others cannot, please do not doubt that you are hallucinating. You might very well be a Mental Element Ability User. If there is anything about this ability that you do not understand, you can come to the administrative building of the base at any time for consultation,"
Liang Jiuhui’s words made Han Yue grind his teeth in irritation.
They actually knew about such an ability?
And they even announced it publicly?
Could it be that he didn’t have the "Divine Knowledge" that Han’s father spoke of, but had simply awakened a Mental Element Ability?
To think that Han’s father had called it "Divine Knowledge" given by the gods to the Han Family after learning about his ability. He had always believed it was some miraculous chance that granted him this power, so this was just a Special Ability...
In the Heart Talk Team’s villa, everyone sat together, quietly listening to the broadcast outside.
"It seems that Liang Jiuhui does not plan to disclose the abilities of Qiqi and Sheng Jing,"
Lu Hao commented, otherwise, he wouldn’t have fabricated that explanation. After all, it was Su Jin who told them about the Mental Element Ability.
"It’s better they did not disclose it,"
Mao Zhihang did not want to expose his daughter’s ability at a time when everyone was curious about such abilities.
Su Jin smiled, realizing that Mental Element Ability Users were quite rare. Liang Jiuhui took the opportunity of everyone seeing that Mental Element Zombie to announce the ability, which was not, after all, inappropriate. It might even help the base discover more Mental Element Ability Users.
In a sense, this Zombie Tide not only improved everyone’s overall strength; it also provided some income for the people inside the base during the blizzard when they couldn’t go outside. The base even upgraded the previous night-only heating to 24-hour heating.
This was because there were too many zombie corpses outside the base, along with those of the giant Mutated Zombies. A single Mutated Zombie’s body could burn for a long time, so the base didn’t have to worry about running out of "fuel" for heating.
However, Liang Jiuhui still warned everyone not to let their guard down. If the blizzard continued, there could be a second Zombie Tide, and the base must do everything necessary to prepare its defenses.
"Alright, now we can finally get a good rest,"
Lin Xiuyuan stretched lazily after the summary meeting.
The blizzard wasn’t all bad; if it were before the Apocalypse, it would be his winter vacation.
"Then you’d better make the most of your time because this snow is probably not going to last much longer,"
Su Jin said with a smile. Moreover, she didn’t think they would have an easy time in the next few days.
Indeed, on the day after the base’s summary meeting, the Survivors at the base, having received their Crystal Core rewards, directly flocked to the two Heart Talk Stores.
Watching the long queue forming outside in the heavy snow, the family split up to help out at the two Heart Talk Stores.
Lin Xiuyuan resigned himself to counting crystal cores for the customers, but fortunately, he had the Wood Spirit Space; he could sneak in there for a rest from time to time, or else he truly felt like he’d be worked to death each day.
Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t help with selling goods because just their presence seemed to generate some kind of "star effect."
There were quite a few people who came just for their autographs, and some even brought along old mobile phones to take photos with them.
Although those old mobile phones had lost most of their functions, they could still take pictures and tell time.
This left the originally helpful Su Jin and Lu Hao both laughing and crying; they had no choice but to slip away when no one was paying attention, for their presence was not only of no help to the shop, but it was actually affecting business.
"Perfect, it’s about time we collect our rewards,"
Lu Hao saw Su Jin was bored, so he suggested they go collect the rewards for their Heart Talk Team, which they hadn’t yet claimed.
Upon hearing this, Su Jin indeed became interested. She was curious how many crystal cores the base would give them -- just from those zombie animals, they were owed a whopping 500,000 crystal cores.
...
Inside the administrative building of the base, Liang Jiuhui looked at Su Jin and Lu Hao, who arrived hand in hand in front of him, and seemed to remember something. He quickly instructed Sheng Jing behind him. Sheng Jing nodded with a smile after hearing the instructions and then greeted the two before walking out.
It looked like the base leader was going to bleed heavily today.
"I was planning to find time to send them to you, but you went through the trouble of coming here personally,"
Liang Jiuhui hurriedly served them tea and water.
He had no choice, as Sheng Jing had been sent to fetch the crystal cores; guests still needed to be entertained.
"Don’t be so formal; we were idle anyway, just came to see you,"
Lu Hao said with a smile.
Su Jin also generously took out several bottles of cigarettes and alcohol from her Space and handed them to Liang Jiuhui.
"How can you say such things? How could I take something from you?"
Liang Jiuhui refused, saying they were more than welcome to visit; taking gifts from them would be too much.
However, a sentence from Su Jin made him comfortably accept them, as she said, "We are friends, after all; keep them."
For their family, cigarettes and alcohol didn’t hold much value, plus she had a huge stock of them in her Space.
Since it seemed like Sheng Jing would still need some time to prepare, Liang Jiuhui chatted with the two.
"That zombie cockroach mission, are you really confident about it?"
Liang Jiuhui wanted to confirm with them one more time. If they insisted on taking it...
"There shouldn’t be any problem, especially since it’s the first mission Heart Talk Team has taken on,"
Su Jin replied.
Seeing Su Jin say this, Liang Jiuhui was relieved, for Lu Hao listened to Su Jin anyway.
"If that’s the case, I have a mission that’s on the way; do you two want to take it along too?"
Liang Jiuhui asked.
A mission that’s on the way?
The two became interested. If it’s on the way, why not take it?
