Chapter 86 The First Ray of Sunshine (three in one chapter)
Chen Ji and Zhou Wan took the big cat, walked into the subway entrance together, followed the stairs, passed through several layers of iron gates to block the cold wind, and went down to the subway station.
Thousands of people in the hall all looked over in unison.
Chen Ji also saw clearly the appearance of the subway station that was transformed into a doomsday settlement.
The entrance of the subway station has been turned into a temporary hospital, with sufficient lighting and certain heating. The walls around the hall have been dug out into rooms, wards, emergency rooms, operating rooms, storage rooms for medical supplies, nurses' rest rooms, and settlements. The command center, broadcasting room and so on.
But still not enough room.
In the hall, there were many people sitting or lying on the ground wearing thick clothes. Their faces were pale and their lips were purple, and their bodies were trembling.
Thousands of people all looked over after hearing the news of the supernatural being.
Shocked, curious, doubtful, fearful and so on, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan looked like giant pandas, which is very rare.
"Don't be nervous, everyone!"
Duan Zhengyan glanced at the mutated black cat, and comforted everyone: "These two newly awakened supernatural beings are named Chen Ji and Zhou Wan. If you can order this black cat, you can rest assured!"
After seeing so many human beings, ordinary mutant creatures rushed towards them viciously.
The big cat next to Chen Ji is honest, with peaceful eyes, and occasionally raises its front paws to scratch the cat's face, as if it has changed into a domestic cat, but its size has increased and its strength has become stronger.
Zhou Wan rubbed Xiao Ke's back with her little fair hand to show that she was friendly.
Everyone was even more surprised.
"Sit down for a while, and I will come to you after the mutant creatures are defeated."
Duan Zhengyan asked several soldiers to follow Chen Ji to act together to prevent the big cat from getting out of control.
He hurried into the subway control room, left after a while, and continued to go up to the ground to command operations.
Soon, the broadcast sounded, announcing the appearance of the three supernatural beings and the important news that the supernatural beings adopted the mutated black cat as a pet to the entire settlement.
The voice of the female announcer in charge of the broadcast was enthusiastic, full of hope, and excitedly praised the bravery of Chen Ji and the three of them, and briefly told everyone about the light and heat abilities, space abilities, and nine-domain abilities.
Nine domain abilities make people extremely powerful in combat, and female high school students can single out dozens of mutant creatures.
The light and heat ability can emit a warm light ball, which makes people warmer, and can also make mutant creatures obedient.
Not to mention the ability of space, the potential is huge, human cognition of time and space may be refreshed, the theory of relativity may be rewritten, etc.!
The sound of the broadcast spread throughout the settlement and reached everyone's ears.
Chen Ji saw the change in their expressions, from the previous doubt and fear to surprise and enthusiasm.
“Humanity needs to see hope.”
Zhou Wan, who also witnessed the changes in everyone's expressions, said softly.
With the current technology in this world, it is very difficult to create a manned spacecraft that can fly to the sun, let alone check why the sun goes out.
Human society must usher in major changes, such as technological change, nuclear fusion, biotechnology, or humans themselves mutating like animals and plants, in order to break the current desperate situation!
The mutated mammal appeared two months ago.
People all over the world waited for another two full months, and after hearing many false rumors, the first supernatural person really stood in front of them!
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, you, are you a person with light and heat abilities?!"
A middle-aged man rushed out from the crowd, ran up to Chen Ji eagerly, and looked at him with bloodshot eyes: "I heard on the radio that you can warm people up, can you save my mother? She has it." Severe hypothermia, the doctor says has been…”
He looked gloomy and did not continue, but Chen Ji could understand what he meant.
In the current doomsday environment, once a person gets a serious illness, there is a high probability that he will be given up directly, because medical supplies, personnel, and even beds are in a high shortage.
"Hypothermia?"
Chen Ji knows this. It is a symptom of people who have been in a low temperature state for a long time. Moderate hypothermia will cause mental confusion and fainting.
"right."
The middle-aged man said full of pain: "My mother lives in the third district. She was shaking when she woke up in the morning. She finally applied for the qualification to come to the hospital after she fainted at noon. But, but...it was too late."
Chen Ji glanced at the hall subconsciously. There were two to three thousand people here, not counting the people in the ward and operating room.
"This gentleman."
One of the fighters following Chen Ji said tactfully: "You should now follow the doctor's orders and take care of your mother by your mother's side as much as possible. After all, the supernatural beings have just appeared."
This is to tell him in disguise that Chen Ji's light and heat abilities may not be so magical.
"I know, but... But, I really can't help it!"
The middle-aged man's voice was blocked.
"Take me to see it first."
Chen Ji said.
"Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Chen, this way!"
The middle-aged man kept thanking him and hurriedly led the way.
Chen Ji patted the big cat on the head to make it calm down, then took Zhou Wan's hand and entered the crowd.
Many, many people suffered from hypothermia. The low temperature caused by the extinguishing of the sun made many people unbearable. Even when they came to the hall and had a certain amount of heating, they were still very cold.
It's not just the cold, it's also related to their long-term depression and anxiety, as well as food shortages.
After Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked into the crowd with the black cat, they kept watching, expecting a miracle to happen.
But I dare not have too strong expectations, lest my hopes fail again.
Soon, Chen Ji met the middle-aged man's mother.
She was lying on a hospital bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, with a hot water bottle on her forehead and in the quilt, but she was still unconscious and her face was purple. There were doctors and nurses beside her, but they were not treating her , but to other patients.
"A person with light and heat abilities?"
Seeing Chen Ji with the big cat, the doctor shook his head and sighed after seeing what happened, "Mr. Chen, I don't know what magical effect your power has, but the symptoms of this hypothermia patient are already very serious, and the ventricle is trembling. , no response to pain, basically can only rely on the patient to survive by himself."
The middle-aged man became more and more nervous, so that his hands were shaking.
At this moment, all his hopes are on the new superpower, and this Mr. Chen happens to be a light-heat superpower!
"I can give it a try."
Chen Ji raised his hand and summoned a ball of light.
The light sphere emits a light that is not bright, and the heat is very low, and the people next to it can't even feel it, so many people are disappointed.
"My ability can warm people up, and it can easily unfreeze a car."
Chen Ji paused, then looked at the middle-aged man: "However, whether it can work on hypothermia is still unknown."
The middle-aged man nodded vigorously, "I understand! I am willing to accept all possible consequences!"
Chen Ji no longer hesitated, and directly hit the light ball on the patient's face, allowing it to blend into her body.
The doctors and nurses, as well as the people around them all watched with wide eyes.
Under the eyes of everyone, the patient with severe hypothermia, that is, the mother of the middle-aged man, has undergone drastic changes:
Her face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, her breathing became steady, and her painful expression softened. There was even a fine line of sweat on her forehead, indicating that there was a lot of heat in her body, or that her body was developing. Quick recovery, can maintain normal body temperature!
"this!"
The doctor and nurse were shocked. After looking at Chen Ji, they hurriedly checked the patient's condition.
quickly concluded:
Not to mention other complications, at least she has recovered her steady breathing now, and she has also responded to the outside world, and she may be able to wake up soon.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Chen, thank you so much!"
The middle-aged man was full of excitement and choked up again.
"This, this... is incredible!"
The doctor looked at Chen Ji and Zhou Wan with bright eyes, "The ability of supernatural beings is so amazing, it completely subverts my imagination!"
The soldiers following Chen Ji, like the others, were also dumbfounded.
Only the big cat rubbed its head against Chen Ji after seeing the ball of light, making Zhou Wan's smile brighter, and stretched out his hand to touch it.
"Mr. Chen, please help my son too, he also has hypothermia and is shivering from the cold now!"
"My husband has been working to earn merit points. Now he is also sick."
"Mr. Chen, help me!"
After the people reacted, they swarmed around. They were no longer afraid of the mutant cat, and only hoped that the supernatural being could cure their illness or that of their relatives.
Several fighters changed from looking at the big cat to blocking the crowd. Everyone's desire for supernatural beings was too strong.
Suddenly.
A bright and soft light emitted, covering all the people in the hall.
The closer you are to the center of the light, the more you can feel the warm heat like the sun.
Three thousand people were all stunned.
It seemed as if they were exposed to the sun again, seeing the rising sun, and the world became bright and warm again!
for a long time.
The light slowly disappeared.
"This is my last power."
Meow meow meow!
Beside Chen Ji, the big cat kept rubbing against him.
…
…
To Chen Ji's own surprise, his abilities seemed to have changed again.
The light only shined for about 30 seconds, but it made the subway hall warm for a long time, just like real sunlight, feeling warm after drying objects.
So much so that Chen Ji hid in the control center at the entrance of the subway station, and the people outside were still looking at him eagerly.
Fortunately, the broadcast gave them the concept of "supernatural power" in time, which calmed everyone down.
Chen Ji could not cure those illnesses immediately, but at least he could ease them.
"With Mr. Chen and Ms. Zhou here, our hospital is much easier. Your abilities are very powerful!"
The person in charge of this settlement, Zhang Jiande, took time out to hold Chen Ji's hand tightly, and said excitedly.
And said that after the mutant white rat attack was over, Chen Ji and the three of them would be rewarded with a large number of merit points.
"you flatter me."
Chen Ji was modest, and was about to say that Zhou Wan should count all his merit points, when suddenly, the phone in the control center rang.
"Wait a mininute!"
Zhang Jiande went to answer the phone immediately.
"What? The passage was dug and collapsed by white rats again?"
His first sentence made people feel tense.
Listening to the report, Zhang Jiande's face became more and more serious, and he said, "Try to dig first, and I'll go there right away!"
He hung up the phone and immediately called several people to go underground together.
"Let's go and have a look too."
Chen Ji drank the hot tea in the cup in a few sips, stood up from the sofa, and Zhou Wan also stood up.
"Didn't you guys have different abilities?"
"I don't have one, but Zhou Wan does, and there's also a cat that catches mice."
Zhang Jiande nodded, time was running out, and he told Chen Ji and Zhou Wan about the current situation while walking.
This settlement is mainly built on the subway tunnels. Within a few kilometers nearby, several tunnels and spacious halls have been dug to accommodate the crowd.
Two hours ago, the mutated white rat dug up the ground, allowing the cold wind to pour in directly, causing riots in the settlement and attracting other mutated creatures to attack.
Not long ago, the mutated white rat dug down several tunnels again, including the main passage, emergency passage, vents, etc., all of which collapsed, trapping thousands of people in one area.
"They're so smart?!"
Chen Ji was shocked.
He had heard from Zhou Wan that the mutated white rats would first destroy the colony before attacking.
Listen carefully now, these mutated white rats have actually learned the insidious trick of besieging separately, intending to trap thousands of people to death, and after exhausting the ammunition of those trapped soldiers, they will rush up and attack humans in a nest!
It is almost certain that when the excavator is used to dig the tunnel later, the mutated rats will continue to harass and dig more places, making the rescue progress slow!
"Yes, those mice did get very smart!"
Zhang Jiande explained with a serious expression while walking down the stairs: "We have compared and found that the mutated white mice in other places are not so smart, so there is reason to suspect that there is some special factor in the sea market, maybe there is a mouse king. , or there may be a place for them to mutate."
"Unfortunately, we have organized multiple searches, killed thousands of rats, and repeatedly studied their bodies, but we have not been able to find the cause."
Chen Ji frowned, it was really weird.
"Next time I go to search, I will go with me!"
Zhou Wan took the initiative to invite Ying. She hated the mutated white rats to the bone, and was willing to contribute to find out the reason why the mutated white rats were so rampant.
Zhang Jiande nodded, but now is not the time to talk about this.
A group of people quickly rushed to the place where they were dug and collapsed.
Things are bad.
The blocked soil is nearly ten meters thick, and the outside world has completely lost contact with the blocked area, and even the vents are blocked.
Even if the mutated rats don't take the initiative to attack, the people inside will die from lack of oxygen.
Excavators and various equipment are still on their way.
The temporarily built tunnels are not wide enough and not well built, making every step of the rescue operation full of uncertainty, and we must be careful when digging.
In addition, there are a large number of mutated white mice lurking in the soil, which may come out to attack at any time!
Things couldn't be worse.
"Let me try it."
Zhou Wan stood up calmly, and hundreds of soldiers and excavation staff all looked at her.
They already knew about the supernatural being, and they just learned about Chen Ji being in the lobby.
But at this moment, doubts still arose in my heart:
"Can it work?"
Zhang Jiande looked at her and Chen Ji with hopeful eyes.
There is too much soil that has collapsed, and there are also broken concrete walls mixed with it. They really can't imagine how strong the space ability is to dig the tunnel!
"You can give it a try."
Zhou Wan used a tone similar to Chen Ji's and smiled at him.
Then, she walked to the collapsed tunnel, followed by a dozen soldiers for protection, preventing the mutated white rat from suddenly jumping out and attacking.
"My ability can control all objects within a certain range."
Zhou Wan slowly stretched out her hand towards the blocked mud wall.
She closed her eyes, as if she was feeling and remembering something.
"Space is distorted, shortened, extended, broken and condensed in my hands, everything is under my control."
"As Xiaoxiao said, within the extension range of my supernatural ability, all objects that rely on space must obey my orders!"
In her perception, there was only one big net left in the world. She stretched out her hand, held the control line of the net, and pulled it gently.
Boom!
A flash of thunder flashed across Zhou Wan's mind, and something seemed to be broken in her brain. She seemed to have caught something, and opened her eyes to take a look.
The blocked tunnel has been separated, forming a neat road with a width of two meters and a height.
Looking back, Zhang Jiande and others were also stunned.
Only Chen Ji came to support her, and gave her a thumbs up, expressing that she did a great job.
Leaning on him, looking at him, Zhou Wan pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "I seem to have become a little bit stronger."
"It's not a little, it's a lot!"
"whee."
…
After one hour, the mutated creatures were temporarily repelled.
The news of the existence of supernatural beings spread like lightning. Before the Doomsday Response Center officially released an announcement, many cities already knew what happened in the sea city.
"A person with light and heat abilities can actually emit a warm light like the sun?!"
"Can also cure diseases? Any disease? My god, is it true?"
"Spatial powers are so against the sky?!"
"That's still false, that Miss Zhou waved her hand, and the tunnel of thousands of meters was instantly opened!"
"I am Cao!"
"What is a Nine Realm supernatural being? It can actually make a high school girl beat hundreds of mutant creatures!"
The personal information and abilities of the three of Chen Ji were discussed intensely by countless survivors, and the spread became more and more outrageous, because the information can only be transmitted through the command centers between cities, and ordinary people cannot access the Internet.
Chen Ji didn't stay in the settlement at the subway entrance of the stadium for too long. After discussion and research, comprehensive transportation, security protection, personnel transfer and other factors were considered, the settlement in Haishi was reduced to three again.
The people here will be gradually transferred to large air-raid shelter settlements in the outskirts, where more people can be accommodated after four months of excavation.
Moreover, that air-raid shelter is digging a huge wellhead a thousand meters deep to release geothermal heat, and the temperature will be more suitable for living than here.
Chen Ji, Zhou Wan and Mu Xiaoxiao went to the new settlement by car.
Chen Ji could hear the huge roar of the machine from a distance. Amidst the bright lights, a large number of workers were working on the ground in the severe cold. They wanted to build the underground city of the air-raid shelter into a huge underground city.
In the absence of nuclear fusion, only by relying on geothermal heat can human beings survive!
The arrival of Chen Ji and the three of them could not have alarmed the engineering team, but after Qiu Chengguo got off the car, he immediately spread the news.
In an instant, many workers and engineers in thick clothes came to watch, their eyes full of eagerness.
Chen Ji could only greet them, and released a football-sized ball of light over their heads, letting the ball of light bloom in the middle of the crowd, and a radius of tens of meters was suddenly warm as spring.
"This is the power of a supernatural being? Oh my god, it's too powerful!"
"If more than a dozen people with light and heat abilities release this light ball in turn, our work speed can be increased by five times. The weather is too cold!"
"It's really warm, just like being exposed to the sun."
Everyone in the engineering team was very excited.
In such severe cold weather, there is nothing more inspiring than Chen Ji's ability.
Down to the underground colony.
Chen Ji saw more people.
Three hours later.
Tens of thousands of people crowded into the spacious hall, eagerly waiting for a special live broadcast.
Soon, the live broadcast started.
The leader of the Doomsday Disaster Response Center delivered an important speech. This live broadcast is for the entire country and wherever the signal can be received. People use radios, public projectors, computer TVs, and live in tens of thousands of shelters and settlements. , Crowds gathered in warm places such as hot springs, volcanoes, nuclear power plants, etc.
Even many countries around the world have already known the news, trying to find a way to broadcast this special live broadcast in advance.
It can be said that this is the highest-rated live broadcast in the world since the end of the world, or in history!
People from other countries don’t need to understand, they just keep their eyes open and wait for one thing:
stranger!
"My name is Zhou Wan, and I am a space power user."
The leader's speech ended, and as the first supernatural being since the end of the world, Zhou Wan took the stage first.
After she came to the settlement, she took a hot bath and put on simple makeup. When she stood on the stage, her exquisite facial features and elegant temperament complemented each other, making her even more stunningly beautiful.
What's more, she is only wearing a few thin clothes, which are different from the audience at the scene and the countless people watching the live broadcast, which brings out her special charm as a supernatural person!
When Zhou Wan briefly narrated her experience, and manipulated the liuyue dagger to flash and spin around her, and the dagger went up and down, she could control it freely.
She is the goddess in the hearts of countless people around the world!
The director gave Zhou Wan split space at the right time, and forcibly opened up a video of a nearly ten-meter-long tunnel, which was once again amazing to watch.
But it is far from shocking enough!
Nine domain supernatural beings, high school student Mu Xiaoxiao with round cheeks appeared.
"I created a sword technique, if you want to learn it, you can follow along."
The Empress of Destiny from the Nine Regions was very straightforward. She didn't say what her abilities were, but only released a video of her sword skills, which included some explanations of her.
The audience stared wide-eyed, not knowing why.
The ability of this female high school student is swordsmanship?
It wasn't until the director played a video that they were suddenly so shocked that their scalps went numb!
In the video, sixteen or seventeen-year-old Mu Xiaoxiao stood in front of a pile of mutated creature corpses with a long sword in his hand. His petite figure was nimble and swift, and the sword light was swaying recklessly, harvesting the lives of one mutated creature after another.
The video is not coded at all, and it is shown to everyone in the most shocking way!
Bathed in fresh blood, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was fierce and mighty, stepped on hundreds of corpses of mutated creatures, made everyone's blood surging.
They also want to be so strong.
They also want to get out of the ground, go up to the ground, and fight the mutated creatures!
After the shock, there is hope.
Chen Ji was the last to appear.
He didn't talk too much nonsense. For the effect of this live broadcast, he deliberately traveled back to the earth to fill up his supernatural powers.
At this moment, Chen Ji stood on the stage, facing the audience, raised his hands, picked up a ball of soft and warm light, spread it in all directions, and slowly rose into the sky.
The sun-like ball of light radiated light and heat above everyone's heads.
The light is not dazzling, it illuminates the entire underground space, tens of thousands of people are bathed in the warm light, and the chill is greatly dispelled.
Many of them were moved to tears.
Countless viewers opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
They saw the sun!
This is the first ray of sunshine after the apocalypse!
Zhou Wan's space ability represents the hope of human beings to break through technology.
Mu's small Nine Domains ability represents the hope of human evolution.
Chen Ji's light and heat abilities represent the sun. People looked up at the dark sky again, looking at the extinguished sun.
It's still there.
After this live broadcast, the superhumans officially stepped onto the post-apocalyptic stage.
