Chapter 573 Return to reality
A boy was running in a small alley. He turned around from time to time, as if something was chasing him behind him.
A buzzing sound came from the sky. After the boy heard this sound, his expression on his face became even more frightened. He ran even harder, but the sound was getting closer and closer.
Soon the thing appeared. It was a drone, a four-rotor drone. It looked bigger than the civilian ones, and it was hung with various weapon systems. An electronic sound was transmitted from the drone.
"Jiang Xinliang, stop your escape, otherwise we will use force. Repeat the side and stop your escape, otherwise we will use force."
The young man was dead in front of him, and he turned around and faced the drone. His eyes suddenly became cold and a ball of flame condensed in his hands.
At the same time, a group of technicians far away in the command center panicked.
"Be careful to avoid. His flames are devastating to the drone. When will the Special Forces arrive?"
"A minute left. This drone is equipped with non-lethal weapons and we can deploy a counterattack."
"What are you waiting for?"
"A electric fork flew out of the drone, crossed about twenty meters away, and directly hit the boy named Jiang Xinliang. The boy twitched and then fell to the ground. Although he showed the superpower of the flame system, it was obvious that his body did not have superhuman resistance."
"The special forces have arrived at the scene, and the rest is left to them. A capability awakening incident has just occurred in the suburbs of the north city, with some corrosive ability. All residents in the entire neighborhood have been affected. Several of them have even suffered corrosive injuries on a large scale. They are severely disabled.
The other party's ability is scope-based and very tricky. Team One and Team Two now put down their work and give me a response plan within half an hour. In addition, there are clues in the incident in the Garden Community. Team Three will follow up. Well, who has less than three cases at hand now, come to me to get two more. Everyone moves, hurry up."
The unknown office suddenly became a mess again. However, there were more than one similar situation, and it was all in hidden command posts across the country.
The specific time when all this happened was sixteen months ago. The government departments at that time confirmed the information of the first "Awakener". Although Zhang Jian gave a warning based on the clues disclosed by Lin Xuan, his level was obviously not enough in this national-level decision-making.
The country gave the first awakened person a great resource tilt. He tried to find the reason for his awakening and quantify it. In fact, the awakened person's ability does not have combat attributes. His vision has undergone certain changes, and he can see the spectrum that ordinary people cannot see. In the naked eye, he can see it whether it is infrared, ultraviolet, or even some trace rays.
This ability has no effect on an ordinary person at all. However, it is extremely useful for some special scientific fields and some special tasks. As for what Zhang Jian said, this is a dangerous sign, which has indeed attracted some attention. But it is just attention. After all, there is no evidence at all. In fact, Zhang Jian himself does not understand the so-called crisis that Lin Xuan mentioned.
In any case, the research continued. Moreover, after the country invested a certain amount of resources, the second and third awakened people were soon discovered. Like the first, their abilities were extremely ordinary. One was able to slightly change the temperature, and the other was able to make their palms shine. It was about the same as the ten-watt light bulb.
In the following months, the awakened people appeared in a stable and sparse number. Until eleven months ago, the situation began to change suddenly. The number of awakened people began to increase and the speed became faster and faster. The state quickly established special departments to deal with this series of events. But it was already a bit too late.
The number of awakened people was increasing, and their abilities were gradually increasing. Until an awakened person who could control current appeared and injured the government personnel who went to negotiate. The special operations team at that time reacted a little too fiercely and directly used a deadly weapon to kill him.
This incident caused a great sensation at that time. The most important thing was that it drew a deep scar between the government and the awakened ones. From then on, the situation began to become subtle. Although the country tried hard to save the situation, under the hype of some people with ulterior motives and bewitching, the contradictions eventually became irreconcilable.
Unconsciously, the awakened people formed an opposition between the government. This is the scene that the government least wants to see. Although so far, the government has maintained absolute force suppression, they have also discovered an unstoppable trend. That is, as time goes by, the new awakened people seem to be more and more powerful and more ‘supernatural’.
The ability to see special spectrums or make the body shine. Although it is magical, it is essentially a biological alienation. Even the ability to rub fireballs with hands can be explained as a combustible substance secreted by the hands, which naturally encounters air.
But four months ago, a special awakened person appeared. He could make a part of his body larger and smaller. The most important thing is that when he uses his ability, the overall mass, or the tissue of the body, actually grows and shrinks. This is incredible, because this has violated the law of conservation of mass.
This is an extremely bad phenomenon. Although the organization has responded to it as much as possible. However, no matter how much it is prepared, it will be useless.
The country has established a complete response system at the fastest speed. It has eliminated the top members of the special forces, the awakened people who are dependent on the government, and almost endless reserve resources to deal with the increasing number of awakened people and increasingly severe forms.
