"Were there also three people in the last attack?"

"I only saw two people last time."

"Miss Chang, it's impressive that you killed two men all by yourself." The guards gave her a thumbs up.

"That's because I suddenly awakened my spatial ability, took the longswords from their hands, and then took them out with my other hand. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to catch them off guard twice." Chang Dongning calmly dropped a bombshell.

"What? Superpowers? Spatial powers?"

"Yes, at the critical moment of life and death, I suddenly awakened."

How big is the space?

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of energy right now and can't explore the space." Chang Dongning closed his eyes, his face pale.

The sun is still very strong. The protective suits worn by the guards and rescue teams are specially made and can temporarily resist the midday radiation during this season. After a while, the days will become very long, and there may even be several days of polar day. At that time, it will be impossible to be outdoors for about five or six hours during the day.

As soon as the rescue vehicle arrived at the hospital in the safe zone, people were already waiting at the hospital entrance.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Chang? We are from the Storm Mercenary Team."

"Hello, Miss Chang, we are from the Azure Sea Mercenary Team. Our team offers excellent benefits, blah blah blah."

Chang Dongning's head lolled to the side and she fainted. She didn't want to make a choice at this time, nor did she really want to join a private team, so she simply fainted.

Upon entering the examination room, Chang Dongning bravely woke up.

"Ms. Chang, you're awake. The rescue team has already described your injuries. Your wounds have been treated and bandaged, but you fainted at the hospital entrance, so we need to examine you again."

"Forget it, I'm out of points," Chang Dongning said frankly.

"I heard you've awakened a spatial ability, which is a relatively rare ability. People with abilities don't lack points," the doctor stated gently.

"That's for the future. I don't have any points right now, and besides, I can't sense the space anymore."

"It's possible that your body is too weak and your energy is exhausted. We don't really understand superpowers yet; it can only be understood by the superpowered person themselves," the doctor reassured him.

When superpowers first appeared, instruments could only detect a significant increase in bodily functions. Some organizations even went so far as to conduct live experiments, yet the specific reasons for the absence of superpowers have not been investigated. Even now, superpower fluctuations cannot be detected.

Even gene-awakening drugs are developed for the human body, and superpowers are more like mutations in mental strength.

Chang Dongning felt much relieved. The information she could find on her watch was ultimately limited, and anything too confidential would not be made public. She was afraid that someone already had something to monitor supernatural abilities, but her space was based on her soul and might not have any supernatural fluctuations.

The official representatives arrived ten minutes later than the private mercenary team.

"Dongning, do you still remember me?"

"Sister Zhao, of course I remember. You were the one who applied the medicine to my wound last time." Chang Dongning greeted her with a smile. The person who came was Zhao Yuan, a family member who had gone to the oak forest with the officials last time.

"I heard you were robbed, so I came to the hospital to see you right away," Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Yeah, a bit unlucky."

"Security Zone 35 is really something. How could we let these people get away? They've ruined Security Zone 39!" Zhao Yuan said indignantly. The wanted posters for those two people were issued by Security Zone 35, and their location was Security Zone 39.

The numbering doesn't have any special meaning. It's said to be based on the order of their establishment. The official highest government is in Zone 6, and there are also some small private safe zones, which are similar to the feeling of being a bandit king. In the early days of the wasteland, ordinary people simply didn't have the ability to travel long distances. The government even encouraged private individuals to establish safe zones. Only in recent years has the government begun to gradually interfere with the basic ethical boundaries of private safe zones.

Chang Dongning gave a weak smile.

"Miss Chang, I heard you've awakened a special ability? Or a spatial ability?" The person behind Zhao Yuan let the two of them exchange pleasantries for a while before speaking.

Chang Dongning had already seen them. Among them were two familiar faces: Yan Xin, the team leader from last time, and another who had gone on a mission with her, but she didn't know his name.

"Yes, awakened at the critical moment of life and death."

"How big is the space?" a middle-aged man with a good demeanor asked. He had just introduced himself as Mr. Sun, a regimental commander.

"I can't feel anything now, I'm dizzy, but it should be more than twice the size of this room." The examination room where Chang Dongning is currently located is about 30 square meters.

"Sixty or seventy square meters? That's not small. What about the height?"

"Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention; the situation was too urgent at the time."

"It's alright, it's alright. Miss Chang, would you be interested in joining our Fifth Regiment? We are an official team belonging to Safe Zone 39. We usually carry out some cleaning tasks. We have good logistical support. Each superhuman receives 1000 basic points per month. There are mission subsidies and income sharing for missions. Each member receives a low-radiation meat meal every month. We also have a nursery, medical room, trading market and other facilities inside."

"My space doesn't seem very large, and my physical abilities don't seem to have improved much. If I join you, will I be a hindrance during missions?"

"At the initial awakening, the space was already quite large. Superpowers can be upgraded. As far as we know, the largest superpower space is 500 square meters with a height of 5 meters. When this superpower user first awakened, the space was only about ten square meters."

Yan Xin continued, "As for physical fitness, spatial abilities don't require you to charge into battle. As long as you participate in regular training, your physical fitness will gradually improve."

"One last question, are there many tasks? I have a son who is a little over two years old."

"Most of the time, he'll be back on the same day after a regular mission. For larger missions, it might take longer, and you can send him to a daycare. Most importantly, if something happens to you, the legion will help raise your child," Yan Xin said seriously. It's true that superhumans don't earn as much as those in private mercenary groups, but the security is much better.

"Okay, once I've recovered and confirmed that the space is stable, I'll join you."

"We don't need to wait for the space to stabilize. We'll process your onboarding directly. Otherwise, you won't have a moment's peace at home. There are at least five or six mercenary teams waiting outside the hospital."

Chang Dongning thought it made sense and nodded in agreement. Commander Sun added her contact information and sent her a job offer.

After filling out the electronic invitation, Commander Sun conjured up a small machine and created a work badge on the spot, which included Chang Dongning's name, the security zone he belonged to, the legion, and other basic information.

Chang Dongning was more interested in where he got the machine from.

Commander Sun didn't mince words: "It's a space capsule, a technological product. It's only one cubic meter, so it can't hold much."

Although it is described as a technological product, it is actually made using a type of energy stone, rather than being a product of complete technological breakthroughs.
