Chapter 25: The Secret of Awakening
After deciding on the time of departure, the people in the shelter began to pack their belongings and say their final goodbyes to the home they had lived in for a long time.
Han Lin and Wan Yan sat on the sofa and talked.
"I have wronged you today, let's rest here, Wanyan, you can also take care of your injuries."
Han Lin said with a smile and took the glass of water handed over by Kelly.
"No, not aggrieved at all, in such a world, there is a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and there is nothing to be satisfied with, thank you."
Taking the glass, Kelly thanked her, took a sip, and put it on her lap.
"By the way, I want you to help me figure it out, what's going on with this awakened ability? I just woke up and I don't quite understand it yet. ”
Han Lin looked at Kelly and asked.
"I really don't know how you managed to get to this point." Wan Yan glanced at Han Lin depressedly, Xiao Bai was actually so powerful, "This awakening ability only began to appear slowly after the world fusion. ”
"After the world fused, the legendary monsters and demon gods appeared in the real world to slaughter humans, and humans began to fight back with powerful technology and weapons."
"Although the human counterattack killed a number of monsters, there are some monsters that cannot be dealt with with common sense, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to complete effective killing, so human beings are losing and retreating, and the number of people is not one in ten."
"So some cutting-edge scientists have begun to turn their attention to these monsters, and there is a very small chance that killing these monsters will drop some materials and an inexplicable bead."
"People collected these items and began researching, and found that weapons and equipment made from dropped materials were extremely offensive and defensive against these Xenomorphic demons."
"And those inexplicable beads can't be processed, and the use can't be determined."
"It wasn't until an inexplicable experiment that an experimenter made a mistake and touched a strange bead with his hand, and the bead turned into a ray of light and shot into his body, and the secret of the bead was solved."
After talking for a long time, Wan Yan paused for a while, and Xiao Jingyun took over the conversation: "The researcher at that time was entered by the beads, and he felt some inexplicable changes in his body, but through the examination of scientific instruments, nothing was found. ”
"Just like that, when everyone was at a loss, the researcher stumbled upon the fact that he could actually control his body to float in the air."
"This discovery immediately shocked everyone, and then tried to arrange people to contact this bead, and found that there is no one in a hundred who can absorb the awakening power of the bead, it is extremely rare, and the awakening power is also strange."
"Therefore, people named this bead the Awakening Bead, and the person who awakened the ability was called the Awakened One."
"I see, but what are the types of awakening abilities?"
"At present, the mainstream divides awakening abilities into three categories, physical abilities, attribute abilities, and special abilities.
Among them, the Physics Department competes:
Such as strength enhancement, agility enhancement, reaction enhancement and other abilities that directly act on the physical body.
Attribute Ability:
For example, the ability to control attribute elements such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and thunder.
Special Abilities:
For example, the ability to heal, the ability to identify items, the ability to craft, etc., can be used for logistics or only special needs.
Each awakening ability is divided into combat ability, defense ability, support ability, production capacity, etc., according to the application of ability.
The same attribute may contain different abilities, and they are also divided into upper and lower abilities, which you will also encounter later. ”
Xiao Jingyun looked at Liu Jie, who was packing his luggage on the side, and said in admiration: "Liu Jie belongs to the ability of the physics department, but it is a rare composite ability in the physics department. ”
"Like mine, it's the heightened sense of smell, like a dog...... Phew, it feels really bad to say this, anyway, it's a good reconnaissance ability, and Wanyan is energy shooting, which is to shoot out the energy in the body like an ordinary bullet, and it is also a physics ability, but it is full of damage, and it can currently be compared to a blow from a heavy sniper rifle Barrett. ”
Han Lin nodded, he basically understood, this awakening was after the failure of their mission, the world changed greatly, no wonder he hadn't heard of it before, it seemed that the cause of everything was the top-secret mission at the beginning.
When they first carried out the mission, they didn't hear of any special abilities, everyone fought monsters just by looking at amazing technology, powerful combat equipment, and intelligence provided by the state, but no matter what, they were just ordinary people.
"Then the improvement of this awakening ability can only be achieved by absorbing the awakening bead?"
"At present, the only way for the Awakened to improve their abilities is to hunt monsters, and researchers have not yet found a replacement that can be used to improve their abilities."
"So it's very difficult to improve the ability of the awakened, first of all, the probability of falling the awakening bead is surprisingly low, and the monsters of the same level are generally more powerful than humans, and many times the awakened people are covered in bruises and kill the monsters that match their level, but they get nothing. In order to hunt low-level monsters safely, but the Awakening Beads dropped by low-level monsters have a very limited effect. ”
"These problems directly lead to very few high-level awakened people, and we ...... There are more than 200 awakened people in our Dawn Shelter, and there is only one Sixth-Order Awakened One, and that is the leader of the Vault, the Earth King Rod. ”
"And the reason why other awakened people above the fourth order have been able to grow to this point is also thanks to the help and protection of the shelter. There are very few lone wolf awakeners like you who have come this far on their own. ”
Xiao Jingyun took a sip of water, looked at Han Lin suspiciously, and asked:
"But then again, Han Lin, what are your abilities? Is the Department of Physics agile? However, your attack power is a bit high, and you can kill Degarex and Steelfist Chauvin, and it feels like you are not an ordinary agile person. ”
"That's right, my ability is agility and strength compound ability, so my speed attack is okay, and I also had a certain foundation in swordsmanship before, so I can get to this point."
Han Lin didn't tell Wan Yan and the others all about his abilities, whether it was full attribute enhancement or annihilation power or plundering soul essence, this was all his secret, whether it was his hole card in the future, or the fewer people who knew it, the better.
"By the way, have you heard of the 'Afterlife' organization?"
Han Lin asked suddenly.
"Afterlife...... Haven't heard ...... What kind of organization is that? ”
Wan Yan and Xiao Jingyun looked at each other and asked suspiciously.
"No, I've just heard others mention it, and it's okay if you don't know."
Han Lin said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart.
Is it true that the "afterlife" has been destroyed, or is it hidden, and the average person does not know? What about the companions who were on a mission together before? Did you die in battle, or did you lurk and hide?
Han Lin was very puzzled, but all these problems were not something he could solve now, so he could only leave them to find the answers himself after he became stronger.
"Let's eat!"
Kelly's crisp voice came, beckoning everyone to eat.
"Let's go, after a day of fighting, it's time to eat!"
Han Lin got up and said with a smile.
Everyone sat around, eating, talking, laughing, and imagining their future lives.
Even Wan Yan, who was sad in her heart, was infected by everyone's optimism and joined the heated discussion.
After eating, everyone played poker, and after a fierce battle, it was still Liu Jie's face full of Wang Ba, and he went to the night with a sad face.
Han Lin didn't go back to the safe house to pack his luggage, there was nothing he needed to bring, he lay on the ground and thought for a long time, and finally fell asleep.
