"We shouldnāt think like this."
Qian Deli said calmly, "What seems absurd is actually a twisted manifestation of the instinct for civilization to survive. In times of crisis, the human subconscious always hopes for a strong leader to lead them out of disaster, which is very logical."
"Yes," Jian Xuwei said, "Dawn City lacks nothing but recruitment activities. Major convoys expand their teams here and accumulate resources. As long as they havenāt entered the Underground City, they are basically prepared to escape the night. So itās very normal for survivors to be fanatic about these powerful Superpower Users. Underground fight clubs, superpower exchanges, mechanical modifications, weapon salesāthey have everything you can think of and more."
"Are these peopleās peak superpower values the same as the standards of the Phoenix Society? Isnāt reaching Angel Level too quickly?"
"You canāt look at it that way. Some people have only just gained superpowers, and their peak values already exceed the average person. For example, Yu Huaiāan from the Wanderer Alliance awakened his superpower on the first day of Apocalypse Day, and already reached Frenzy Level. He was among the first batch of testers in the Angel Plan," Jiang Yun said. "And now with the increasing concentration of dark invasions, the downside is more mutations occur, but the upside is that evolving superpower users among the survivors is accelerating."
"Itās also related to killing S-Class entities," Jian Xuwei added. "After that great battle, the values of many superpower users skyrocketed. Didnāt you notice this in Xilan City?"
"We noticed, but we havenāt had time to focus on the issue."
Lin Xian sighed slightly. After leaving Xilan City, they faced danger in Yijin, then moved to Akse, and before they could catch their breath, they were drawn into Star Abyss No.5, facing continual battles.
He certainly understood the frantic transformations driven by Hell Black Chrysanthemum, which accelerated the evolution of Infinity members. Every time Lin Xian received a Mechanical Source Point, it started from 1000. Imagine how significant this boost was for others. Even the children on the carriage, the women handling logistics, no longer had the frail physical strength of the early apocalypse.
However, they were always up against either corpse chasers or Abyss Demons, so Lin Xian really hadnāt noticed how much KIKI, Brother Huo, and others had enhanced their superpowers.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian raised his hand, and a light screen appeared, a peak Spirit Vibration Value detector crafted through a construction sequence landed in his hand. He immediately activated it, and accompanied by the roar of the Mechanical Heart, his superpower peak value suddenly soared to 3650.
At 3650, given Lin Xianās ultimate coefficient, this value would reach 7300, indicating that his superpower had reached Destruction Level, a threefold increase compared to when in Xilan City.
Lin Xian immediately tossed the detector to KIKI and the others to re-evaluate. The results were astonishing. KIKIās peak superpower value had increased to 4800, while Lu Xingchenās was even more impressive, reaching 5300. Combined with the ultimate coefficient, Lu Xingchen was at 9010, approaching Angel Level growth, surpassing KIKIās 7680.
"9010!" Lin Xian looked at Lu Xingchen surprised, "Did you progress so rapidly?"
"Hey, hey, hey, how did you surpass me?" KIKI was a bit unconvinced, took the detector again, and exerted all their strength, but the peak value still didnāt exceed 4800.
Lu Xingchen was rather proud at this moment, "It seems my diligence in daily cultivation is indeed paying off."
Jiang Yun frowned beside, "Did you use some kind of Taboo Item?"
"Uh..." Lu Xingchen nodded, "Thatās true, will there be any effect?"
"Taboo Items resonate with more Spirit Vibration Values, they will have an effect, but no one would consider it significant, it will all be seen as part of your strength," Ren Huixian said at this time.
"Well, youāre impressive." KIKI pouted, not wanting to dispute it at that moment.
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, "Much obliged, much obliged~"
At this time, Monica, Ning Jing, and others also re-evaluated using Lin Xianās detector. Actually, Lin Xian only obtained the latest blueprint for this detector after entering Silent City. Before that, the people on the Joint Train hadnāt had a chance to re-evaluate.
The results were out quickly, Monica had grown the fastest here, reaching a superpower index of 7400, even higher than Lin Xian.
Next was Ning Jing, as a Pure Gene Evolver, her superpower index reached 7200, then it was Qian Deli with only 6600.
However, this young girl Shi Zhi, although not skilled in combat, her superpower index was surprisingly at 6900. But she was not surprised at all; according to her, after coming out of Star Abyss, she underwent a routine assessment with Mochizuki Masashi, and had already reached 6700 a week ago.
"According to this assessment, the strongest evolved humans now can only battle A-level opponents, so the enhancement in superpowers still hasnāt changed our situation of being hunted by darkness. Pessimistically speaking, thereās no real difference," Lin Xian said. "However, for humans themselves, this power increase is still enormously strong."
Jiang Yun nodded in considerable agreement, "S-Class, World-class, Dark Invasion, Star Abyss, up to now, we still donāt have absolute confidence against the S-Class, which is why the Federation has been planning the Breaking Curtain operation, and we donāt have much time left."
After speaking, he looked at the time and said to Lin Xian, "Captain Lin, the curfew will be lifted after daybreak. Although there will be some trouble with the Federation here, at least in the city, it is temporarily safe, no need to worry too much about Abnormal Bodies and zombies. Of course, we canāt let our guard down completely. You can take a rest now, in the Old District, we have people from our Alliance responsible for scouting messages in each area, which should be quite helpful for your actions."
