Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 075: The Awakened (3)

Fan Chen looked around, all the troops were still on guard without loosening their vigilance, and even without fear when he saw the strange phenomenon where the carcass suddenly lifted up.

"Can the person who is summoned be the Awakened?"

[System Reminder: Life summoned through the Calling Feature cannot consume Evolution Fluid, but their physique would continue to evolve with training corresponding to an increase of two to three times faster than a normal human being]

Fan Chen had no questions about their speed in increasing, but it seemed like the standardization of Fu Shen and Fu Shan was so high that the Basic Warriors who were already considered elites in the military were managed by the government, he said, but in their eyes, there was still nothing.

Fan Chen took out the Evolution Fluid Version 2.0; unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it straight away. He felt an uneasy taste while drinking it, and finally understood why Fan Xiaoyu would stick out her tongue as if she wanted to vomit.

Suddenly, he felt an uneasy tingling feeling gathering within his stomach, as if a herd of ants were creeping up.

Then he felt his hair stand up, he tried to glance at the part of the hair that usually covered his eyebrows, and found that his hair had stood up like an electrically stung person.

From under his feet, there was an explosion like lightning striking, then electricity began to rise enveloping his body and strike in all directions blindly.

Fan Chen saw that the lightning was about to strike Yun Mingyue, he tried his hardest to pull her again, but did not know how. He simply stretched out his hand and shouted, "Back!"

The lightning that shot out like a snake stopped in front of Xiaochu who was standing in front of Yun Mingyue, trying to protect him from the lightning attack. Then the lightning moved backwards, moving back towards Fan Chen and gathering in his hand as well as enveloping his body.

Fan Chen looked around, all the lightning that was moving wildly earlier had already returned to his body. He raised his left hand, trying to form lightning into a sword; the lightning changed, but it was irregular in shape and very short, not even a blade.

Fan Chen focused his mind on eliminating the enveloping lightning, making the lightning dissipate; thinking of the lightning appearing, it came back; increasing the attack power, the lightning came back, the lightning seemed to expand and let out a sound like a strike.

[System Instructions: The Host drinks Evolution Fluid Version 2.0. Successfully awakening abilities and becoming a Lightning Element User]

"That's it?" Fan Chen really did not expect the abilities he obtained to be not very useful and very easy to control. "Wait!" Suddenly he realized something.

"Yu'er controls Fire and Magnet, Mother controls Water and Magnet. Why am I Lightning?" Fan Chen bowed with a hand rubbing his chin.

"The first process of lightning is the presence of solar heat that evaporates water, the second is particles floating in the air that are usually from sea salt or industrial pollutants, he said, and third is the humidity of an area ..." Fan Chen fell silent again for a while, thinking about why he got Lightning as his ability.

"Fire and Water. Let us suppose that Fire evaporates Water; the particles in the air like sea salt and industrial pollutants, let us transform them into strange particles that transform animals; then there are positive and negative charges, and then there are, let's take from the Magnet's ability that affects Fire and Water this ..."

"If you go back to the beginning, Mother mastered Water and Magnet, but Yu'er suddenly mastered Fire. Thus, it is possible that if Father is still alive and has the qualifications of being the Awakened, the abilities obtained must be the Fire Element User."

Fan Chen looked at his hand again which let out a stream of electricity, then he looked at Xiaochu who was standing far away, his attention fixed on the Reactor Arc hidden behind Xiaochu's clothes. Suddenly his eyes sparkled when he had an idea that he thought was worth a try.

Robotic armors have constraints in power storage technology. If he could use the Lightning Element User ability as fuel, then he would no longer have to worry about the required energy, not even requiring an Arc Reactor whose safety for humans was still in question.

But he knows it's not as easy as turning a hand, there's still a lot to work on:

First, he had to train his abilities and see how much power output was generated, how much Energy was drained when activating the ability, and what distance was effective in usage, whether this flow of electricity could activate the robot armour that was more than ten meters away.

Second, technology! The technology used must be appropriate, it must be able to convert the lightning flowing in its hand into a stream of electricity that can activate the robot's armor, and the semiconductor devices inside must be able to withstand the high frequencies of lightning.

Fan Chen clenched his hand, making the lightning disappear. Then he stepped over to Yun Mingyue, kneeling before her. "Is Mom still tired? Should we go back now?"

Yun Mingyue nodded and replied, "Yes, Mother feels all of Mom's muscles are very weak. But, why is Chen'er okay?"

Fan Chen had already prepared his answer while he was thinking about making the robotic armor earlier. "Perhaps because I am the Awakened One with Three Abilities, and the addition of one ability does not impact much on the physical."

Yun Mingyue thought, and found there was indeed nothing wrong about it. Creation Ability was more energy consuming than Lightning Element Users, so this alone should not exhaust Fan Chen.

—Mingyue Defense—

Fan Chen and Yun Mingyue had already returned, this time they were in the Hospital in the same room as Fan Xiaoyu.

Fan Chen sat on the floor with Yun Mingyue sitting on the sofa, he was massaging her mother's smooth and long slender legs. "About, how many people did the fellow Capitals bring from the Imperial City?"

Yun Mingyue shook her head and replied, "Mother doesn't know, we rarely communicate due to the rules of the code of conduct. When Team Alpha is disbanded, all members are separated except those who are married, and no one is allowed to meet their fellow members except the Captain who calls."

"What about Controlled Heavy Nuclear Fusion?"

Fan Chen looked up at his mother who was still reading the old magazine. "Died doing the last check, if tomorrow is fine, from tomorrow, we have unlimited energy. Graphene Chip and Graphene Battery output will meet the supply; humanoid robot, worker robot can be increased to thousands; Main Project and Rocket Launch Site can be completed faster; quantum Computer construction can be completed completely."

"Then we can open a new project that is currently still in the planning."

Yun Mingyue nodded her head, she was no longer surprised about the robots that were starting to take over the job. Because after all, robots are just taking over physical work, and humans are still behind the scenes to keep experimenting.

Even the Blacksmith who was initially very meritorious, after the birth of the robot arm, the Iron Man lost his job. But not long after, it merged to form the Materials Department in search of a special metal alloy that was better than gold-titanium.

Yun Mingyue himself did not expect that there would be many groups of humans who had quick learning.

At the beginning of Mingyue Defense was formed, these people were only tasked with bringing zombie corpses to the Decomposer, but due to the presence of robots, now they switched jobs. Starting to learn a certain field from the beginning to be truly proficient, some are able to master the excavator in just two days, and some are intervening to help simple stitching operations after seven days of study.

Fan Chen stood up, sat down beside Yun Mingyue and began massaging her hands.

Yun Mingyue turned his head to look at Fan Chen. "Why don't you ever want to massage Mom's thighs?"

"I'm ashamed." Fan Chen bowed.

Yun Mingyue was stunned, then chuckled lightly as she rubbed Fan Chen's head. He patted her on the thigh and said, "You want to sleep on Mom's lap?"

Fan Chen pondered, then nodded and placed his head on his mother's lap. As for the matter regarding the voltage testing of the Lightning Element it possessed, it could be delayed for a while.

Yun Mingyue gently rubbed Fan Chen's head.

Just as Fan Chen closed his eyes, suddenly Xiaochu's voice appeared in his ear: “Master, the Alpha Team that Master had asked to monitor earlier was facing a problem. The chase team enlisted reinforcements in another Protection City and tried to hold Team Alpha.”

Fan Chen opened his eyes, he got up and took out a holographic device on the table. "Connect with the holographic device and show how they are at the moment."

Fan Chen looked at his mother who wanted to get up to look, but due to the overwhelming muscle fatigue, it was hard to get close. He helped her by holding her mother's back from leaning against the back of the sofa.

The two saw a holographic image where there were dozens of cars driving with dozens of other cars chasing behind. Pursuit cars have heavy weapons on them such as the GAU-19, M134 Minigun, and M61 Vulcan.

Yun Mingyue was dumbfounded when she saw this, she immediately took out her phone and opened the communication app to contact Yin Mengqi.

"Sister Yin!"

“Xiao Yue?!”

"Sister Yin doesn't need to worry about pursuers, we've already sent reinforcements in the sky."

“Ap-What did—” mean Before Yin Mengqi on the other hand could finish her words, Yun Mingyue cut them off first.

"Foot!"

In a holographic image, the Scanning Drone carrying the Laser Gun 1K-20AM fired a laser shot. A red-orange glow shot through the air, hitting one of the chase cars.

Boom up!

The car exploded immediately as its fuel tank was hit by a laser and caught fire, resulting in a loud explosion with flames rising. If it was a shot that came from a bullet, the tank would have been hollow, but it didn't explode like this.

Yin Mengqi who was far away on the other side, was speechless when she saw the pursuing armored car suddenly explode. He looked up at the sky, trying to find the source of the shot, but he could not see it at all.
