The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

Chapter 22: Power Enhancement Ability



"Su Yu, practice how to control the dark flame yourself. The more precise it is, the better. It is best to control the dark flame to shape it into an animal or a sword." After Wang Mingyang entered the room, he ordered Su Yu.

Elemental superpowers are relatively simple. Learn to control energy output, and then learn how to layout and shape energy. Basically, you have mastered the basic superpowers.

Su Yu nodded and started trying to control the dark flame ability while standing in the living room.

Wang Mingyang went straight to the master bedroom bathroom, ready to wash up. He had encountered a group of corpses in the restaurant before, and a lot of blood was spattered on his body. His clothes were no longer wearable.

Fortunately, someone had lived in this presidential suite before, and he had a lot of clothes. If he just picked one and put it on, it would definitely be worth much more than his street clothes.

After a while, the sound of rushing water came from the master bedroom. Su Yu tilted his head, biting his lip and continued to control the flame in his palm.

In the room opposite, Mu Ningxue was sitting in the living room with a solemn expression. There was a button-shaped instrument with a red dot flashing on the coffee table.

"Miss, can the signal be sent out?"

Zhao Ding sat upright on the sofa opposite, looking at the locator on the coffee table, and said worriedly.

"This is my first time using this thing. Now the network signal is cut off, and I don't know if this thing still works."

Mu Ningxue shook her head and frowned slightly. When her father gave her this locator before, he said that even if there was a general signal jammer, it would not affect the signal transmission of this thing.

But now is the end of the world, and the network signal is cut off at the same time, and we don’t know why. Under this situation, Mu Ningxue was skeptical about the effectiveness of this locator.

"If the transmission is successful, under normal circumstances, the helicopter will arrive here in an hour." Zhao Ding nodded. He knew this locator very well. As a personal bodyguard, he had received training in this area.

But just like Mu Ningxue's worries, now that the apocalypse is coming, he doesn't know whether the Mujia security base can survive. Is anyone still aware of the signal receiving device and can a helicopter be dispatched for rescue immediately?

All this is unknown...

"Ignore it for now, Zhao Ding, what are your chances if you face that man?" Mu Ningxue leaned back on the sofa, her hands elegantly placed on her raised legs.

"Miss, if I'm ten meters away, my chance is zero. If I can get three meters closer, I estimate my winning rate is 90%." Zhao Ding was silent for a while, then raised his head and responded with a serious look.

"His ability to control steel needles is very strange, and his long-range lethality is too strong..." Mu Ningxue frowned and spoke calmly.

"Yes, I have observed that his ability seems to be the legendary telekinesis. He can control a total of nine steel needles. Within a range of seven or eight meters, zombies cannot get close at all. It is like holding a rifle, and the rifle's The bullet can also be deflected at any time.”

Zhao Ding nodded, with a hint of envy in his eyes, "This is why I said there is zero chance ten meters away. My enhanced power can only be effective when I am close. It's a pity that Wu Li became a zombie, otherwise The two of us can definitely deal with him if we work together.”

As Zhao Ding spoke, he stretched out his right hand. As he clenched his fist, the originally normal arm quickly became thicker and thicker. Every vein appeared, and it seemed that there was huge power contained in it.

With enhanced power, Zhao Ding is obviously an awakener, but his awakened powers are relatively ordinary. If Wang Mingyang saw it, he would probably think that it was just a D-level power at most.

Wu Li was another female bodyguard of Mu Ningxue. When the apocalypse came, the unlucky Wu Li turned into a zombie.

The awakening of this power also came from his colleague Wu Li. If she hadn't suddenly mutated and pounced directly on Zhao Ding, in desperation, he directly awakened the power enhancement ability and killed Wu Li with one punch.

"You are already very powerful, but your ability is not suitable for group battles. If there are too many zombies, you will be injured, which is very dangerous. Wu Li turned into a zombie. There is nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would I will definitely not survive." Mu Ningxue smiled slightly, with deep gratitude in her eyes.

The two of them hid in the restaurant and saw someone being bitten through the crack in the door. After a while, they turned into zombies and got up. So even if Zhao Ding awakened his superpower during this period, he still didn't dare to rush out and fight the zombies.

"This is what I should do. Miss, I guess even if the base receives the signal, it won't be able to come over so quickly. You should go and rest for a while first. You didn't sleep well last night, and so many things happened today. I'm sure I'm already very tired." Zhao Ding returned his arms to their original shape, put down his sleeves and said with a distressed look.

"That's okay, I do need a rest. Please pay attention outside. If rescue arrives, wake me up as soon as possible." Mu Ningxue nodded, stood up and walked towards the master bedroom.

"Okay, Miss, the red light will turn green when the rescue is nearby. I'll call you in advance." Zhao Ding stood up and bowed his head respectfully.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Mu Ningxue smiled and waved her hand, walked into the bedroom and closed the door. The next moment her face quickly turned cold.

Zhao Ding straightened up, glanced at the master bedroom door, turned around and walked behind the living room door, listening to what was going on outside.

After a while, Zhao Ding returned to the sofa and sat down, continuing to feel the changes in power within his body.

After Wang Mingyang took a shower, he found a set of brand-name casual clothes and put them on, then returned to the living room with the cleaned Mo Ying.

Su Yu's eyes were fixed on the dark flame in the palm of his hand, and he controlled the dark red flame to continuously shape it. One moment it became a sphere, another moment it became a square shape, and now it became a cone shape...

"Try to maintain the shape with the least energy. If you can change the shape at will, your control over this ability will be greatly improved." Wang Mingyang sat down on the sofa and said slowly.

"I have tried very hard to control it, but the fire energy is too active and difficult to control." Su Yu frowned and said, the geometric shape that Dark Flame had just formed shook and returned to the shape of a flame.

"That's for sure. The flame power itself is quite violent, not to mention that your ability also has dark attributes. The combination of the two is even more difficult to control."

"But this is also the reason why this dark flame power is so powerful. You have to work harder than others."

"You can imagine the power energy as a ball of plasticine. If you want to shape this ball of plasticine, you must first have a model in your mind. First, fill the plasticine in as quickly as possible, and then consider the next stage of shaping."

Wang Mingyang said lightly. In his previous life, thanks to the attention of Han Tieshan, the Immovable King, Wang Mingyang was able to contact many high-level powers with the fifth-level strength and get a lot of guidance on power training. It's a pity that his own power is too useless. No matter how he develops it, it can't get out of the category of 'F' level.

But those experiences are used to teach Su Yu at this moment, and they are useful.

Su Yu silently thought about Wang Mingyang's words and began to try to build a model in his mind first...

Seeing Su Yu fall into deep thought, Wang Mingyang picked up the "Basics of Metallurgy" in his backpack and opened it to read.

Metal Control was so useful in the early days of the apocalypse, so he planned to study the book carefully to see if he could get some extra inspiration.

If it were someone else, they would have to wait until seven days later, when crystal nuclei began to appear in zombies and mutants, before they could quickly improve their abilities.

But Wang Mingyang was different. He had another way to improve his abilities. By reading books, he could obtain corresponding ability fragments, and accumulating fragments could directly increase the strength of the corresponding abilities.

So as long as he read enough books, he could be several blocks ahead of others.
