The Place Where Humans Store Superpowers
Chapter 684 The Place Where Humans Store Superpowers
The first thing that caught Luo Ziyu's eye was the blood mist that sprayed out in the air.
It turned out that the teleportation ability user had only escaped half a meter when his body was once again engulfed by the powerful shockwave of the explosion.
This time, the explosion of the mushroom directly blasted his head into a bloody mist, and a small crystal core was ejected from the shredded flesh into the air.
Unlike the prismatic crystal cores of insectoids and mutated plants and animals, the human crystal core is a round bead, which can also appear in different colors depending on the superpower.
This bloody scene immediately shocked many of the enemy soldiers who were still trying to approach Bai Mianmian.
After all, despite the violent impact of the explosion, she was still able to float quietly in mid-air, without a trace of dishevelment or even a speck of dust on her body, and her gentle temperament remained unchanged.
Who wouldn't be terrified by such a scene?
Of course, there were also those who were not afraid of death. They maintained their speed and reached out with a clear goal to grab... that slightly transparent round crystal core that had been ejected into the air.
Bai Mianmian narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw that they all wanted to grab the crystal core.
My first thought was: So the place where people with superpowers store their abilities is actually a crystal core.
My second thought is: Why did those people steal that crystal core?
Humans cannot absorb crystal nuclei of their own kind, because absorbing even a trace of energy from a crystal nuclei of the same kind will cause their own energy to surge violently. If they continue to absorb energy from crystal nuclei of the same kind, they will be blown into "fireworks" in the next second.
Could it be that interstellar space already possesses the technology to safely absorb similar crystal cores?
still is……
Bai Mianmian suddenly remembered that during the apocalypse, she had heard that human crystal cores could be transferred.
Although this claim is not widely circulated, she has witnessed several operations specifically targeting people with superpowers.
At the time, those people were oblivious to their own mortality and tried to hunt her down. In the end, of course, she wiped them all out unscathed and even destroyed their stronghold.
At this moment, seeing those people rush to snatch the crystal core, this long-forgotten memory instantly surged into Bai Mianmian's mind.
With a gentle flick of her slender fingertips, the mushroom spores floating in the air seemed to sense her emotions and suddenly accelerated their flight.
A mushroom suddenly sprouted from the round crystal core, and at the same time, several mushrooms also sprouted from the heads of the people who rushed out to snatch the crystal core.
"Watch out!" someone shouted urgently.
"Boom—!" However, his warning came too late; the mushroom explosion rang out almost simultaneously with his warning.
Before those people could react, most of their heads were blown off, and the crystal cores hidden inside their heads were ejected into the air.
The teleportation ability user's crystal core was also destroyed by the mushroom, but at the moment of shattering, the energy stored inside suddenly surged and caused an explosion, "Boom!!"
Bai Mianmian, who was enveloped by the mushroom phantom and unaffected by the explosion, now focused her gaze on the crystal cores that had shot into the air.
With a flick of her fingertips, clusters of red-capped, white-dotted mushrooms sprouted from the crystal cores.
"Boom—!" As Bai Mianmian flicked her finger, the newly grown mushrooms exploded at the same time.
"Boom!!!" Almost simultaneously, all the crystal cores also exploded.
The enemy, who were already filled with fear, couldn't help but take a step back when they saw this, but no one left.
They were all watching Bai Mianmian warily, as well as Luo Ziyu and the others who were approaching her.
After confirming that none of the crystal cores had been missed, Bai Mianmian glanced at the people indifferently. When she saw them take a half step back, she withdrew her gaze, and the mushroom phantom on her body slowly faded away.
"Sister-in-law..." Luo Ziyu and his team finally approached Bai Mianmian. But just then, just as the mushroom phantom surrounding Bai Mianmian was about to disappear, a spatial energy fluctuation suddenly appeared.
"!" Bai Mianmian's gaze, which had been fixed on Luo Ziyu, suddenly stopped, instantly locking onto the source of the spatial energy fluctuations.
To her left rear, a thin spatial rift was rapidly opening and spreading toward her, before suddenly crashing into the mushroom phantom.
The almost fading mushroom-shaped phantom on Bai Mianmian's body suddenly solidified due to the stimulation of such danger, and forcefully blocked the newly torn spatial rift outside.
The spatial rift that suddenly appeared, unable to tear apart the mushroom phantom, immediately began to twist violently as if its energy was unstable.
Bai Mianmian's eyes narrowed slightly; she was an S-level spatial ability user.
"Sister-in-law, watch out!" Luo Ziyu shouted in alarm, his arm suddenly swinging forward. A metal spike instantly solidified in the air and then shot out like an arrow, "Whoosh—!"
In the blink of an eye, it plunged fiercely into that twisted spatial rift.
Without a sound, the spatial rift pierced by the metal spikes suddenly collapsed and dissipated.
The next second, about five meters to Bai Mianmian's right, a spatial energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in mid-air, as if something was about to emerge from there.
A cold glint appeared in Bai Mianmian's eyes, and her gaze suddenly swept across the area. Almost simultaneously, several mushrooms sprouted in front of the spatial energy fluctuations.
"Boom—!" The powerful shockwave from the mushroom explosion instantly struck the center of the spatial energy fluctuations.
In the blink of an eye, several fine cracks suddenly appeared in that area of air, and at the center of the spatial energy fluctuations, a dark, irregular black hole appeared.
"Pfft!" Just then, a mouthful of blood spurted out from the black hole.
Immediately afterwards, the tiny cracks in the air rapidly closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally even the irregular black hole completely closed and disappeared.
"Sister-in-law." Luo Ziyu, wary of his surroundings, moved a little closer to Bai Mianmian.
"You guys go help the others," Bai Mianmian said decisively.
At this moment, her gaze was coldly fixed on the enemy personnel who had secretly taken half a step forward.
Why half a step?
It was because Bai Mianmian's gaze swept over them the moment they took a step, causing them to subconsciously take half a step back.
Luo Ziyu, who was on guard against a sudden sneak attack from the space ability user, couldn't help but turn around and glance at her upon hearing this, and then replied in a deep voice, "Yes, sister-in-law."
Given the strength she just demonstrated, there's really no use for them staying here. They might as well listen to her and help their comrades kill the enemy.
Luo Ziyu flew away with his team members, taking the two team members left behind by Zhang Weitao with him as well.
As they left, another group of people appeared behind the vegetation and trees; they too wore protective face shields and black combat suits.
After they appeared, they rushed straight towards Bai Mianmian, unleashing increasingly ferocious supernatural attacks.
As they moved, the enemies who had previously hesitated out of fear of Bai Mianmian instantly launched their most lethal attacks.
Their decisiveness and speed in attack made it seem as if the fear they had shown earlier was all an act.
Luo Ziyu and the others, who had just flown a short distance, suddenly sensed something and looked back.
