Chapter 1116: Lu Keran's Thoughts
Zhang Yi returned to the Shelter.
Jingwei imdiately erged from the shadow space, and Yang Xinxin ca out with her.
Having Jingwei as this humanoid passenger-carrying space was incredibly convenient.
She gave Zhang Yi an extra new skill—Yang Xinxin.
Not only could she help him analyze the battle situation during combat, but she could also use her [Desire Angel] ability at certain tis to help Zhang Yi secure victory.
Rule-based abilities were a kind of incredibly tricky power to deal with.
Within their domain, they could sotis even exhibit strength that surpassed their actual level!
Even a superhuman like the Dragon King, who had reached the Epsilon-level, could be affected.
However, relatively speaking, if the ability's activation conditions weren't t, then a rule-based ability user would beco extrely weak.
In short, it was a double-edged sword.
And Jingwei's appearance created a perfect link, flawlessly solving the weakness of Yang Xinxin's ability.
As long as her host wasn't in trouble, she could hide in the host's shadow indefinitely.
And Zhang Yi specialized in defense, making him extrely difficult to kill, so the safety of Jingwei and Yang Xinxin could be absolutely guaranteed.
This was simply a perfect closed loop.
Everyone at ho gathered around, asking Zhang Yi about the outco of the battle.
Everything that happened today had also given them a huge shock.
They had never before, as they did today, felt the oppressive power of an Epsilon-level superhuman so closely!
That kind of might, capable of stirring up a tsunami and subrging a city, filled them with deep fear.
Zhang Yi, with his arms around Zhou Ke'er and Yang Siya, smiled gently and said, "It's already over! That guy has been killed by ."
Only then did everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
Fatty Xu, cradling his chubby face, sighed heavily and said, "It's a good thing you're so wise, boss, and discovered their plot early. Otherwise, I really don't dare to imagine what the outco would have been!"
Liang Yue and the others frowned, unable to feel happy after hearing Fatty Xu's words.
This world was still full of dangers.
Especially now that Zhang Yi was becoming increasingly powerful, the enemies they needed to face were also growing stronger.
Of course, this wasn't ant as a complaint against Zhang Yi, but rather worry for the future.
After the Apocalypse, those who were weak could only live day-to-day, uncertain of the next day, with many dying in situations they couldn't even begin to understand.
At the very least, they still had a chance to protect themselves.
Zhang Yi had everyone sit down in the living room, and Yang Siya made hot drinks for everyone.
After a terrifying night, a hot drink could help soothe everyone's emotions considerably.
"We still need to strengthen the Shelter's defenses in the future!"
"You all must not slack off in practicing your superpowers. These abilities atrophy from disuse; they require deep personal exploration to be developed to their maximum potential."
As Zhang Yi said this, he shot a cold glance at Fatty Xu. "Especially you, Fatty Xu! You're the lazi one here!"
Fatty Xu gulped and nodded vigorously like pounding garlic.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely listen to you and train hard!"
Zhang Yi snorted coldly. "Yeah right, you're all about three-minute enthusiasm. Old You will have to put you through your paces properly from now on!"
Fatty Xu was like a pig; he needed soone to supervise him, otherwise he'd definitely start slacking off before long.
"If you don't put in the effort properly in the future and hold everyone back, heh heh!"
Zhang Yi let out a cold laugh. "I'll send you to the Dawn Rain Base by the sea and make you pedal the generators!"
Fatty Xu's face instantly turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, "Boss, please don't! I'll definitely work hard, absolutely won't hold everyone back!"
Zhang Yi wasn't joking with Fatty Xu.
After all, he was a Delta-level superhuman, and Zhang Yi had invested a certain amount of resources in him.
No matter what, he was still a decent combat asset.
If he slacked off again in the future, it would be better to send him to the Dawn Rain Base to contribute so manpower and get a good workout.
Yang Xinxin rested her chin on one hand, crossing one small leg over the other, her foot in a little brown leather shoe gently swaying.
"But, just doing that won't significantly improve the Shelter's safety."
"For superhumans below the Epsilon-level, even if you're not here, brother, we can handle them well enough."
"But against those at the Epsilon-level or above, we basically have no ans to fight back."
Zhang Yi rubbed his head, his mind still confused by the words the Dragon King said before he died.
"Keran, I'll need you to put in more effort on this matter."
"Make good use of all the weapons and equipnt, especially the heavy weapons, we got from Blizzard City, and arm the Shelter as quickly as possible."
"As for defense, the Shelter's defensive capabilities are already maxed out. I really can't think of any way to improve them further."
Zhang Yi was speaking from the heart.
When the rich young master Wang from Shengjing built this house back then, he did it according to the standards of an [Apocalypse Fortress].
It was claid that as long as it wasn't a direct hit from an H-bomb, it could withstand it.
It wasn't that there weren't materials stronger than the construction materials used, such as Adamantine tal.
But even the Jiangnan Region couldn't possibly produce such a massive amount of Adamantine tal to build a huge Shelter.
At this mont, Lu Keran seed a bit hesitant, but still slowly spoke up:
"Zhang Yi brother, I... I have an idea."
Everyone's gaze fell on her, wondering what this genius chanist wanted to say.
"Keran, if you have an idea, just say it!"
Zhang Yi said to Lu Keran with an encouraging look and a smile.
Feeling greatly encouraged, Lu Keran sat up straight and said:
"Actually, ever since I absorbed the source sprites you gave , brother, I could clearly feel that the power of [Divine Machinery Manipulation] has grown stronger!"
She looked down at her hands.
From spending all day in the workshop, her hands had long since developed thick calluses. These hands were very dexterous and strong!
"When I first awakened my ability, I just felt that I could manipulate the structure of matter. Make tal twist, analyze material structures, even slt ordinary materials by hand."
"But now, I have a feeling that's becoming clearer and clearer. My microscopic control over matter is becoming more and more precise! I can even reach the molecular structure level now."
As she spoke, as if afraid everyone wouldn't believe her, she reached out and picked up a glass from the table.
The next mont, everyone saw a very magical scene.
The delicate glass cup turned into a pile of sand-like, finely fragnted material right before their eyes, then spilled all over the coffee table.
Zhang Yi already knew about this. It was precisely this ability that allowed her to modify firearms for him without relying on large-scale instrunts, and even research the composition of Blizzard City's Genetic Drugs.
Lu Keran looked at Zhang Yi, her eyes burning with intensity as she said, "I have a feeling that if my ability can beco even stronger, perhaps I can break through into a deeper level of the microscopic realm!"
"By then, I will definitely be able to develop materials stronger than the current construction materials!"
