A teenager was running in a hurry in an alley. From time to time, he looked back, as if something was chasing him behind him.

There was a buzzing sound in the sky. When the boy heard this, the expression on his face became even more frightened. He ran harder, but the voice was getting closer.

Soon that thing appeared, and it was a drone, a quadcopter drone. It's just that it's a little larger than the civilian one, and all sorts of weapon systems are hung on it. An electronic sound emanates from a drone.

"Jiang Xinliang, stop your escape, otherwise we will use force. Repeat and stop your escape, or we will use force. ”

In front of the young man was a dead end, and he turned to face the drone. His eyes suddenly froze, and a flame condensed in his hands.

At the same time, a group of technicians who were far away at the command headquarters panicked.

"Take care to dodge. His flames are devastating to drones. When will the special operations team arrive? ”

"One minute left. This drone is equipped with non-lethal weapons, and we can deploy counterattacks. ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

"An electric fork flew out of the drone, spanned a distance of about twenty meters, and directly hit a teenager named Jiang Xinliang. The boy convulsed, then fell to the ground. Despite his display of flame-based superpowers, it is clear that his body does not have superhuman-level resistance. ”

"The special forces have arrived on the scene, and the rest will be left to them. A power awakening event has just occurred on the outskirts of the northern part of the city, some kind of corrosive ability. All the residents of the entire surrounding neighborhood were affected. Several of them even suffered corrosive damage on large areas of their bodies. I am severely disabled.

The opponent's abilities are range-based and very tricky. The first and second teams will now put down their work and give me a plan to deal with it within half an hour. In addition, there are clues to the events in the garden community. Three teams went to follow up. Well, whoever has less than three cases in hand right now, come to me and get two more. Everybody move, hurry. ”

The unknown office suddenly jumped again. However, there is more than one similar situation, and in all of them in various hidden command posts throughout the country.

All of this happened sixteen months ago. The government authorities at the time confirmed the information of the first 'Awakened'. Although Zhang Jian gave a warning based on the clues revealed by Lin Xuan. But in such national-level decision-making, his rank is clearly not enough.

The state gave the first awakened a great deal of resources. Try to find the cause of his awakening and quantify it. In fact, this Awakened Person's abilities do not have combat attributes. His vision has undergone a certain anomaly, and he can see a spectrum that is invisible to ordinary people. In the naked-eye state, whether it is infrared, ultraviolet, or even some trace rays, he can see it.

This ability is of no use to an ordinary person at all. But for some special areas of science. As well as some special tasks, this ability is still extremely useful. As for what Zhang Jian said, this is a dangerous sign, and it has indeed attracted some attention. But it's just a matter of paying attention. After all, there was not the slightest evidence, and in fact, Zhang Jian himself did not understand the so-called crisis that Lin Xuan was talking about.

Regardless, the research continued. And, after the state invested a certain amount of resources, the second was soon discovered, as well as the third awakened. Like the first, their abilities are extremely ordinary. One is the ability to change the temperature slightly. The other is the ability to make your palms glow. That's about a dozen watts of light bulbs.

In the months that followed, the Awoken appeared in a steady and sparse number. It wasn't until eleven months ago that the situation began to change dramatically. The number of Awakened is starting to increase, and it is getting faster and faster. The State quickly set up a special unit to deal with this series of incidents. But it's already a little too late.

The number of Awakened is increasing, and their abilities are increasing. Until an awakened person who can control the electricity appears, and injures the government personnel who went to negotiate. At that time, the special operations team reacted a little too violently, and directly used lethal weapons to shoot him dead.

And this incident caused a great sensation at the time. Most importantly, it has left a deep scar between the government and the Awakened. Since then, the situation has become delicate. Despite the country's best attempts to salvage the situation. But under the hype and demagoguery of some people with ulterior motives, the contradiction eventually became irreconcilable.

Unconsciously, the awakened and the government form an opposing situation. This is the last thing the government wants to see. This is despite the fact that so far the government has maintained absolute force repression. But they have also found an unstoppable trend. That is, as time goes on, the newborn awakened seem to be more and more capable and 'supernatural'.

For the ability to see a special spectrum, or to be able to make the body glow. Although it is magical, it is essentially a biological alienation. Even the ability to rub fireballs by hand can be explained by the fact that the hand secretes a combustible substance that naturally encounters air.

But four months ago, a special awakened person appeared. He can make parts of his body bigger and smaller. The most important thing is that when he uses his abilities, the overall mass, or the tissues of the body, really grows and shrinks. This is incredible, because it already violates the law of conservation of mass.

This is a very unfortunate phenomenon, despite the fact that the organization has done its best to deal with it. But in the face of these abilities beyond cognition, no matter how much you prepare, it will not help.

The state has established a complete response system as quickly as possible. Drain the top members of the special forces, as well as the government-dependent Awoken, and a near-endless reserve of resources to deal with the growing number of Awoken. and increasingly grim forms.

The scene that appears at the beginning of this chapter is a microcosm of countless actions. It is influenced by contemporary networks, as well as European and American film and television dramas. The vast majority of the awakened are distrustful of the government. There are even some secondary two teenagers who have made up various 'missions' in their brains. They changed their previous humility and cowardice, and vented their suppressed emotions in an almost hysterical way.
