chapter 4: Power and Privilege

During the conversation with Wei Ling'er, Mu Qiu learned the specific information about the so-called "awakened ones":

"Awakened" refers to special humans who, after being infected by viruses, instead of mutating into zombie monsters, have awakened strange abilities.

Among them, those who can prevent their brains from being invaded by viruses and retain their rationality are the noble "awakened ones" after the end of the world. Conversely, those who lose their rationality and only have eating and destructive instincts are called "heretics."

There are all kinds of superpowers, strange and varied, but generally speaking, they are divided into three categories: superpower system, mutation system, and element system.

As the name suggests, the "elemental system" means that the body can control awakened elements at will. Just like Mu Qiu's previous incarnation as the Fire Demon Lord, who could independently control fire, and the flames emitted could burn down an entire building in an instant! The Fire Lord was rated as a dangerous S-class "heretic" by Yuhai Base.

Another example is the ice zombie heretic that he later devoured. Although its level was not high, it was still a rare and powerful individual among the zombies. According to the level classification, it was at least B-level.

"Elemental system" superpowers are extremely rare among the entire group of awakened people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a million. This is because their destructive power is astonishing and far beyond comparison to the other two systems. Once the ability is raised to its peak, the ability of the Awakened One is enough to overwhelm mountains and seas and destroy the world!

The awakened ones of the "mutation type" tend to have physical mutations. Some are as robust as bears and become so powerful that they can blast through a building with one punch. Some grow the claws of a running wolf. Their speed can be comparable to that of a running wolf on the grassland. However, this type of awakened person usually has a strange appearance and a physique different from ordinary people.

The last kind of "superpower type" awakened people are the most special. They often do not have the super destructive power of the elemental type, nor do they have the powerful physique of the mutation type awakened people, but the biggest feature of this type of awakened person is their ability to use strange abilities such as teleportation, invisibility, telekinesis, etc., which are all classified as superpowers.

"Elemental elements are rare among the three categories of awakened ones. Now you know why the organization attaches so much importance to you!" Wei Ling'er raised her eyebrows.

Mu Qiu spread his hands and stared at his palm. Strictly speaking, he should belong to the awakened person of the superpower system, but his "swallowing" ability was too overbearing. Even among the mysterious awakened people of the superpower system, he was the best.

As if she noticed something strange about Mu Qiu, Wei Ling'er turned around and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded?"

Being stared at by Wei Ling'er's crystal blue eyes, Mu Qiu felt a little guilty and asked hurriedly, "What about you? What kind of awakened person are you?"

Previously, Wei Ling'er escorted Mu Qiu back to the Yuhai safe zone. Fortunately, she didn't encounter any large monsters along the way.

Even if there were some zombies blocking the road, they were all knocked away by Wei Ling'er's car. Mu Qiu had no chance to see Wei Ling'er's superpowers.

Wei Ling'er stood up, put an index finger against her red lips, blinked her watery eyes, and said, "Keep it a secret!"

"You will know if you do the awakening test this afternoon!"

Wei Ling'er gave Mu Qiu a wink, and then left with brisk steps. Seeing this, Mu Qiu shook his head, threw the bread packaging aside, and turned back to the small house where he lived.

As soon as he entered the door, soldiers were distributing food. These foods were usually distributed to survivors and refugees like Mu Qiu who had just entered the base. Of course, they were also some moldy and rotten biscuits, bread, etc. Most of them were distributed to the survivors and refugees who had just entered the base. Sometimes, they couldn't even do the most basic things.

He sighed softly. Although he had the red bean bread sent by Wei Ling'er to cushion his belly, it was obviously not enough to fill him. So, he went to get the food. As expected, Mu Qiu received a bag that was already seriously moldy. Mu Qiu tried to bite the biscuit, and the feeling in his mouth was comparable to chewing raw steel bars.

After the soldiers who handed out food left, Mu Qiu sighed and put a bag of "small steel bars" on his pillow, intending to use it as emergency food when he was extremely hungry.

"Hey, new guy!"

At this time, a fat man walked over from the side. The fat was almost piled up into a meatball. Mu Qiu really wondered how this fat man could eat in this apocalyptic world where he only had one meal and no next meal. He looked like this.

"I saw with my own eyes that you came back after eating bread outside. After eating, you still dare to share the limited food with everyone!"

The fat man looked fiercely at Mu Qiu, but his eyes never left the "little steel bar" that Mu Qiu placed on the bed.

Mu Qiu smiled and said, "There is no rule in the base that you cannot receive food after eating it. Besides, it seems that it is not up to you whether I receive food or not, right?"

The other survivors in the room didn't speak, but they all stared at Mu Qiu's bag of small steel bars with salivating eyes, as if they were seeing some rare treasure right in front of them.

The fat man swallowed his saliva, looked at Mu Qiu, and said, "Now is such a critical moment, every bite of food means one less bite. Don't be so selfish, give me the food, and I will share it with everyone..."

After saying that, a pair of big hands grabbed the "small steel bar" that Mu Qiu placed on the bed.

A cold light flashed across Mu Qiu's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of red deep in his pupils...

"Crack!"

The fat man's rough arm was still suspended in the air, but was suddenly grabbed by a white and slender hand. The fat man looked closely and found that it was Mu Qiu who grabbed his arm to stop him. The fat man wanted to say something else, but Mu Qiu lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face, which made him a little uneasy.

"You, get out of here!"

"With delicious food in front of us," the fat man didn't intend to be polite anymore, and swung his big palm to hit Mu Qiu.

But in an instant, the fat man suddenly felt that the air around him was a little cold, and then there was a tingling sensation in his right arm. In the blink of an eye, his right arm actually lost consciousness!

The fat man lowered his head and found a scene that made him dumbfounded—

Mu Qiu's eyes were lowered, and there was no expression on his cold face. Frost condensed on his white palms, and then the cold quickly spread to the fat man's arms, until the fat man's entire arm was frozen. The fat man staggered to the ground with a look of horror, tightly grasping his frozen right arm, and wailed.

"Awakening, awakener... He is an awakener!!"

Some survivors in the room saw that it was Mu Qiu's method, and immediately shouted in horror. Mu Qiu raised his head slightly, and glanced at the survivors around him with an indifferent expression. He saw that these people's eyes were filled with fear, anxiety, envy, respect, and other emotions.

The only thing that disappeared was the greed in his eyes when he saw the food just now!

This is the benefit of power. The word "possession" has always been a privilege for the strong!
