Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Would You Like to Join Us?

After some discussion, He Yongjun and the others decided to use a rope to make a net and pull the insect out.

Of course, they knew what Chu Zixuan had said before, that the pile of corpses were moved by Du Gang. But after knowing that they were just freshmen, there was an inexplicable emotion stirring in their hearts.

They’d rather struggle themselves than let Du Gang help them.

However, they were still quite cautious, having Su Qi watching by their side, ready to suppress the creature with her superpower the moment it showed signs of waking up.

So, without Du Gang’s help, He Yongjun and the others successfully managed to drag the insect into the courtyard.

When the sunlight hit the insect, it instantly became immobile, its leg that was previously struggling now motionless.

Under the direct radiance of the sunlight, the insect completely lost control of its body.

“Give it a kick and see!”

Chu Zixuan interjected.

He Yongjun glanced at him and nodded at one of the officers, who then went up and brutally kicked the insect.

Even after several kicks, the insect showed no reaction, as though it was truly dead.

“Is it dead?”

The crowd was surprised, not expecting the sunlight to cause such damage to the insect.

At this, Chu Zixuan shook his head. He had been using his Mental Power to scan the insect’s internal condition.

Its life force was still there, but under the sunlight, it was suppressed to the maximum.

As he was talking, he glanced at Du Gang and said, “Let me try to see if killing it at this moment elicits any reaction!”

If kicking it didn’t help, he might as well try to cut it.

As soon as his words fell, the blade in his hand started levitating.

While the officers were not seeing this for the first time, they still found it fascinating.

Chu Zixuan controlled the speed of his attack, slowly plunging the blade into the insect’s body at a slow pace.

The blade pierced the insect inch by inch. As expected, there were no screams from the creature as it lay motionless under the sun.

Suddenly, the blade flew out from the other side of the insect, bringing a spray of green blood.

Despite being stabbed, the creature remained still, behaving as though the body wasn’t even its own.

Next, Chu Zixuan controlled the blade to fly towards the insect’s brain.

He wanted to see if this creature would still show no reaction while facing a life-threatening crisis.

It was not until the blade successfully entered the insect’s brain and took out a

crystal that Chu Zixuan sighed, “The suppression of these insects by sunlight is too much. They are completely immobile and they can’t even feel when they are dying!”

He had carefully observed the insect’s internal movement and indeed, there was absolutely no reaction.

“The sunlight must have completely suppressed the insect’s perception of the outside world. It didn’t feel me killing it, it didn’t even realize that it was dead!”

At this time, the attention of He Yongjun and the others was drawn to the crystal Chu Zixuan had taken out.

“What is this?”

Chu Zixuan let the crystal float in the air, speaking lightly, “I call this kind of crystal a Source Energy Crystal. It’s the origin of my superpower. As the name suggests, this crystal the size of a fingernail can awaken superpowers in people and also enhance existing superpowers…”

“What!”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, with the previously calm He Yongjun unconsciously taking a few steps closer.

Soon, Chu Zixuan explained his guess about the crystals, casually mentioning that he had accidentally swallowed one and as a result awakened his abilities.

“So you’re saying, every insect has such a crystal inside its body?”

“It seems so!”

“Wait, that’s not right!”

He Yongjun looked at Du Gang and the others and frowned, “Since you’ve killed so many insects, why haven’t your classmates and teachers awakened their superpowers?”

Chu Zixuan smiled faintly, “They have all eaten the crystals, but only Du Gang has awakened his superpower, the others have not… So, I guess the number of crystals needed for awakening varies according to the individual’s physical talent.”

He Yongjun nodded, that made sense. He looked at Chu Zixuan and understood now. These students were not simple, they had their own ideas. The reason for revealing this information now must be part of some plan.

So, he asked, “What’s your plan?”

“Our destination is Luo An City, our families are there. We should take action while it’s still daylight!”

“Understood!”

He Yongjun nodded. At this time, his expression underwent a slight change, but he quickly covered it up and anxiously asked, “Can you do us a favor?”

Chu Zixuan smiled lightly, “Do you want me to help you extract the crystals from the living insects at the police station?”

When his real intention was guessed, He Yongjun felt slightly awkward. Refusing Du Gang’s help was mainly due to their pride, and now they were again requesting assistance, which felt a bit awkward.

However, thinking that this crystal could awaken superpowers and kill insects, he couldn’t help but feel excited, not caring about saving face anymore.

Chu Zixuan nodded and agreed.

This answer was what they had thought of in advance. Currently, these policemen wanted to extract crystals from the insects, which could be quite troublesome and require a lot of effort.

But if he were to help, it wouldn’t take much time. His psychokinetic power is consumed according to the size of the object. For him, using a blade wouldn’t consume too much Mental Power.

Soon, with Su Qi’s help, Chu Zixuan had extracted crystals from all the insects in the police station, collecting more than thirty crystals in total.

“I suggest each of you take one of these crystals and swallow it to see if your superpowers will awaken. Then, you can focus on awakening one person…” Chu Zixuan’s suggestion was excellent. After a few moments of consideration, they all agreed.

As they washed the crystals with water, Du Gang asked a question, “What are your plans after awakening?”

“Plan?”

He Yongjun suddenly straightened up, saying seriously, “I have to live up to my role, protecting the people…”

“Once we awaken our superpowers, we’ll each go check our homes first, then find a safe place to set up a survivor base. After that, we’ll start hunting insects and rescuing the civilians!”

He Yongjun hesitated before asking, “Chu Zixuan, would you like to join us?”

Compared to the ordinary Du Gang, he was more keen on having Chu Zixuan join them.

“Sorry, my family is still waiting for me in Luo An City!”

The refusal from Chu Zixuan was justified, leaving He Yongjun and the others unable to retaliate.

They could only sigh regretfully, then one after another, started swallowing the crystals in their hands..
