The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 788 The Superpowers of the Two Company Leaders

Liang Yuan was astonished. The board members of Kerry Technology Company were all experts whose gene recombination progress had reached 60%.

He couldn't help but look at Wang Tianan beside him, his expression questioning.

Wang Tianan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "The minimum requirement for entering the board of directors is that the genetic recombination reaches 60%, and several board members have been there for several months now. I estimate that some of them have a strength of more than 60%."

Liang Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit exaggerated.

He himself is a superhuman and is well aware of the difficulties of gene recombination.

From the apocalypse to now, it's only been a little over two years, yet someone has already broken through the 60% genetic recombination barrier?
Having your own system is what allows you to progress so quickly.

How do other people cultivate so quickly?
"Could it be that they have really developed a powerful gene recombination technology?"

Liang Yuan couldn't help but suspect this, otherwise there was no way to explain it.

He then asked, "How many members are on the board of directors of Kerry Technology?"

"There are three people: our chairman and two others."

"These two were once masters who dominated a region in Yuzhou Province. They were very powerful, until they met our chairman and were eventually defeated by him. That's why they joined our company."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Who is your chairman? Does he have any special abilities?"

Wang Tianan said, "Our chairman is a foreigner named James. He was sent by the European headquarters. After the great flood, our company naturally lost contact with the headquarters, and he became our company's only direct superior."

Liang Yuan frowned deeply: "A foreigner, and you're actually willing to risk your lives for him?"

Wang Tianan smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Liang, this chairman is principled, has a clear sense of right and wrong, and treats us all equally, unlike some shelters built by his own people, where people use connections and backdoors to get in."

"Most of the leaders of those shelters are nepotistic, regardless of right or wrong, they only care whether someone is obedient."

"In comparison, this Mr. James was much better, so in the beginning, many people were willing to work under him."

"Then, with the addition of a group of foreign executives who controlled a lot of access permissions and confidential information within the company, a shelter base was eventually built around them."

"Of course, the more important reason is that Mr. James's superpower is very special, which is why he has been able to maintain his position as leader."

Liang Yuan immediately asked, "What is his special ability? Is there anything special about it?"

Wang Tianan said solemnly, "James's superpower is called [Silence]."

"[Silence]? What does that mean?"

"This is a mental ability. Under his mental power, all other ability users' abilities will be silenced and become unusable. Even the most powerful ability users will become ordinary people."

Liang Yuan was startled. This ability sounded a lot like the effect of a sealing talisman!
His expression turned serious. He knew that the energy-sealing talisman was extremely powerful. Once someone was enveloped by the energy-sealing talisman, their internal energy would be unable to flourish and would stagnate.

Liang Yuan never expected that there would be someone whose awakened ability was the same as the Sealing Talisman.

If they were to start fighting, wouldn't everyone just end up fighting like ordinary people?

Liang Yuan then thought of another question: "Wait, his ability only turns others into ordinary people, but even so, what advantage does he have? Everyone is an ordinary person, so he may not necessarily be able to defeat the other party, right?"

Wang Tianan shook his head slightly: "No, the Silence ability can silence the opponent's abilities, but his own ability energy is not sealed."

"In other words, his supernatural energy can power various supernatural weapons and rune armor."

"Once the enemy's abilities are silenced, they will be unable to use their powers or activate any special weapons or other effects."

Liang Yuan immediately understood that this meant the other side could use supernatural weapons, while he could not.

This is a more flexible way to seal abilities than using a sealing talisman.

The sealing talisman doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, but James's ability only seals enemies, not himself.

Liang Yuan then asked, "Can he designate a specific person to be silenced?"

Wang Tianan nodded: "Of course, his ability follows his mental power. Wherever his mental power covers, that place will be silenced."

Liang Yuan's expression became much more serious.

In other words, this person's special ability can even play a significant supporting role in team battles.

"To become the leader of a force, one must indeed have the means."

Liang Yuan pondered how he should deal with James if he were to encounter him.

"If my superpowers are restricted by the other party, they can use various superpowered equipment to attack me. How can I fight back?"

Liang Yuan frowned, and a question suddenly occurred to him.

While energy-sealing talismans can seal the flow of supernatural abilities, they cannot stop genetic recombination.

The superhuman's genes recombine, and they will immediately transform into a giant beast.

Although they cannot use their superpowers, their destructive power is still astonishing in their behemoth form.

So, can James's ability to 'silence' prevent genetic recombination?
Liang Yuan immediately asked Wang Tianan, "Can James's silence ability limit the genetic recombination of superhumans?"

Wang Tianan nodded: "Okay, once targeted by his ability, if the superhuman does not show his genetic recombination form in time, he will completely lose the opportunity to transform into his genetic form and can only face him in his ordinary human form."

"However, there are also rumors that even after genetic recombination, if James's superpower targets it, it may not be able to maintain the genetic recombination form and will directly degenerate into an ordinary human form."

"Of course, this is just a rumor, because James hasn't made a move since his fight with Kim Se-yong, the head of Sprout Company, a few months ago."

"So whether he can 'silence' genetically modified ability users, nobody knows." "Jin Shirong?" Liang Yuan immediately grasped the key information.

He became interested and asked, "Is this Jin Shirong the boss of Mengya Company? Can he really fight James?"

Wang Tianan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Jin Shirong is the boss of Mengya Company, and the entire Mengya Company revolves around Jin Shirong."

"Jin Shirong is a notorious lecher in Yuzhou Province. He built a palace on his floating island, where all the women he had taken from him by various means lived."

"The only person who can currently rival LeBron James is him."

Liang Yuan became interested and asked, "How did he manage to compete with James? Isn't James supposed to be invincible?"

Wang Tianan smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, there is no invincible superpower in this world. There is always a way to counter another superpower."

"Jin Shirong, as the CEO of Mengya Company, has extremely rare abilities, which are somewhat similar to yours."

Liang Yuan asked in surprise, "My ability?"

Wang Tianan said, "Your superpower is a copying type, right? Otherwise, I really can't understand how you can master so many superpowers at the same time."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "You mean, Jin Shirong's special ability is the ability to copy?"

Wang Tianan nodded: "Yes, the reason why Jin Shirong's Sprout Company is so powerful is entirely due to his existence."

"Jin Shirong is a womanizer who has defiled many respectable women, yet he is still able to live a carefree life and even built the Sprout Company by himself, all because of his powerful supernatural abilities."

"If there is truly an invincible ability in this world, I think Jin Shirong's ability can be considered invincible."

"Jin Shirong's superpower is to copy the abilities of others. After copying someone's abilities, he will temporarily possess their abilities and talents, and he can even copy their gene recombination talents."

"Not only that, he can replicate multiple talents in a short period of time, which means that he can control multiple talents by himself."

Liang Yuan's expression changed slightly.

This ability is absolutely insane.

You have to understand that even for him, if he wanted to gain an additional ability, he would first have to condense the gene of that ability before he could use the Hundred Transformations Demon Ape talent to transform into the corresponding talent ability.

But this Jin Shirong doesn't even need the step of condensing a gene seed; he can directly copy the other person's abilities.

Furthermore, it can replicate the abilities of multiple opponents simultaneously.

If a real fight were to break out, Jin Shirong would be practically invincible.

He has all the superpowers you have.

He may possess superpowers that you don't.

If his gene recombination progress is higher than yours, then there's practically no chance of winning.

"So he played against James, who won?" Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Think about it: a silent ability user and a copying ability user.

When these two exceptionally gifted individuals clash, who will ultimately prevail?

Even Liang Yuan couldn't guess the answer.

Wang Tianan also shook his head: "I don't know. Back in Yuzhou, both Kerry Technology and Mengya Company developed rapidly. Their territories soon bordered each other, and serious conflicts occurred."

"Then the two leaders personally took action, intending to finish off the other side."

"They were fighting and fell into the water. It took a long time for our chairman to return."

"He was covered in injuries at the time, and much of his equipment was ruined."

"Since then, there has been no further conflict between the two forces. Orders have also been issued that both sides use Minghu Island as the boundary and each must restrain their subordinates from crossing the boundary."

"Until recently, as the two forces expanded outward and occupied the floating islands, friction and conflict arose again."

"But both sides are still exercising restraint, and there has been no major action between them."

"That's why we didn't go looking for trouble with Flying Manta Island after we occupied Hell Island and Divine Tree Island."

"Otherwise, given how close Flying Manta Island is to us, Kerry Technologies would never tolerate their existence."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that these two forces had clashed before.

Even the leaders of various factions have personally intervened.

Liang Yuan estimated, "I'm afraid these two will be evenly matched and neither will be able to win, so they will stop fighting and go their separate ways."

“It’s possible,” Wang Tianan nodded. “Many of us guessed that way back then.”

While the two were talking, Zheng Yuan watched coldly with a sneer on his face.

Clearly, he didn't take Liang Yuan and his group seriously.

A mere Yangshan dares to go against the company? They're practically courting death.

He thought this to himself, and when he looked at Wang Tianan, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"This fool surrenders now. Once headquarters arrives, all these people from Yangshan will collapse immediately. I want to see how you handle this!"
