In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Lei chuckled, "It was my fault, please continue."

Commander Liu took a sip of water and continued explaining the science.

"Superpowers can be broadly categorized into three main types."

The first category is elemental abilities, which is relatively common.

Currently, the elements that have appeared are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, which are also our main fighting forces.

Elemental abilities are generally weak when first awakened and require continuous training before they can be used in combat.

However, experts have calculated that the growth potential of elemental types is the highest among all categories.

Even the weakest water elemental ability can eventually unleash a devastating tsunami.

Of course, very few people can actually make it to that point.

Wenren Lei muttered to herself, "Where exactly is the water element weak?"

Commander Liu asked, "How far have you progressed?"

Without hesitation, Wenren Lei replied, "I can make firearms."

Commander Liu: "...Have you considered joining the military's special operations team?"

Wenren Lei realized she had let something slip and tried to cover it up: "I was just kidding, the water element is very weak."

Commander Liu had gradually gotten used to Wenren Lei's tendency to talk nonsense, and said helplessly, "Call me when you want to join."

Wenren Lei said, "Very well."

Commander Liu said, "The second type is mental abilities."

The probability of a superhuman awakening is one in five thousand, and the probability of a mental superhuman awakening is one in ten thousand out of that five thousand.

These types of superpowers have a very high base strength when they are first awakened.

The biggest difference between it and the elemental system is that it does not directly affect physical matter, but directly affects thought, perception, and consciousness, causing the opponent to collapse when they are completely unprepared.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious: its growth potential is low, and releasing it once will deplete a lot of mental energy.

Currently, psychic ability users need at least half a day to recover after using their abilities once.

Hearing the tears, Yu Guang glanced at Fu Yan.

Fu Yan's copying ability should be classified as a mental ability, and it can be considered a bug-level ability.

Moreover, so far, he has neither discerned Fu Yan's upper limit nor seen Fu Yan bound by mental power.

"The last category is auxiliary abilities, which are as rare as mental abilities. Typical examples are spatial storage and healing abilities. The strength of these abilities is mainly reflected in the spatial capacity and the degree of healing."

This is the current knowledge about supernatural abilities. Due to the small number of awakened individuals, a ranking system for supernatural abilities has not yet been established.

After explaining the three major superpower systems, Commander Liu asked again, "You really don't want to join us?"

Wenren Lei was still processing the information about supernatural abilities when she casually said, "I don't want to."

Commander Liu chuckled, "Still trying to act cute?"

"I didn't!" Wenren Lei changed the subject. "What about the zombies?"

Speaking of zombies, Commander Liu became more serious: "Currently, only three levels have been identified; there are no records of stronger mutants yet."

Wenren Lei propped her elbows on the table and leaned forward: "Level three?"

"Their level depends on the crystal core. Those without a crystal core or with a white crystal core are the most basic level one zombies."

It will level up to level two after consuming a sufficient amount of flesh and blood.

The crystal core will turn green. Agility, strength, and defense will all increase significantly, and there are already quite a few level 2 zombies.

The most troublesome ones right now are the level 3 zombies, which have yellow crystal cores growing inside their bodies.

Besides eating people, these zombies are also driven by a level three instinct to devour the crystal cores of their own kind, causing their size and physical defense to increase dramatically.

According to our calculations, some zombies will remain stuck at level three forever, while others will awaken supernatural abilities and break through to level four.

Wenren Lei glanced at Fu Yan and asked, "What does a Level 4 zombie look like?"

Commander Liu said, "We haven't found any examples yet, so we can only infer from calculations."

Level 4 zombies possess rationality and continue to devour the crystal cores of their own kind; theoretically, they still have room to level up.

Wenren Lei glanced at Fu Yan again: "Does a Level 4 zombie's pupils show any special changes?"

Commander Liu said, "The color of a zombie's pupils does not change as its level increases."

Wenren Lei wondered: What's going on with Fu Yan?

He pondered for a moment, then continued, "If zombies possess reason, is it possible for humanity to negotiate a peaceful coexistence with them in the future?"

Commander Liu said, "We have conducted relevant experiments. Even if zombies advance and mutate, they will slowly rot and their physical strength will decline if they do not eat flesh and blood. They will die out in about five years."

This physical weakness will not disappear as the zombie's level increases.

If that's the case, it's basically impossible to reach a truce and reconcile with rational zombies.

"Commander Liu, what about the zombie that the superhuman turned into?"

Commander Liu said solemnly, "After a superhuman undergoes zombification, they retain their superpowers, and they are already at level three in the early stages of transformation, making them extremely difficult to deal with."

If you encounter this situation, you must not confront it head-on; you must seek help from the military.

Wenren Lei suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

The giant zombie that was above the commercial building today was intelligent; it was a level four zombie.

Zombies of level three or higher will instinctively try to devour the crystal cores of their own kind.

From this perspective, it seems that it was simply scouting ahead, with its target being the crystal core inside Fu Yan's body.

"Feed? Little Fu? Remember? We need to ask the army for help."

Wenren Lei snapped out of her daze and recounted the story of the giant zombie, adding, "I deduce that it is a level four zombie. It has reason and is cooperating with a human girl with sonic abilities."

Commander Liu said, "I will arrange for a search and rescue team to enter the city to conduct a search. You should try to minimize your outdoor activities in the near future."

Wenren Lei said, "You must be extra careful during the search."

"Alright." Commander Liu took another sip of tea. "Really not joining us?"

Wenren Lei: "...No."

Commander Liu pressed further, "What about your grand-nephew? Has he awakened yet?"

Wenren Lei felt guilty and immediately started lying: "Fu Xing... doesn't have any special abilities. He's lazy and sleeps all day long, he even has trouble getting out of bed, it makes me so angry."

Commander Liu lamented, "So young and already so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized)."

Wenren Lei, afraid she would burst out laughing if they continued chatting, said, "You're absolutely right, so pathetic. Um, I'm hanging up now, I'm pretty busy."

Commander Liu said, "Alright, contact me anytime you want to join!"

"Okay, goodbye."

After the phone call ended, the living room remained quiet for a while.

Yi Yang said quietly, "Can I interpret this as that big zombie being lusting after Brother Yan?"

Han Mingjie said, "Our Brother Yan is so powerful, if that big guy eats his crystal core, he'll definitely level up!"

Han Mingjie had barely finished speaking when Cheng Nianli slapped her on the head: "You're the one who's being eaten!"

Han Mingjie quickly slapped her mouth: "Ptooey! Nobody can eat Brother Yan's crystal core!"

Meng Fan calmly said, "We might not be able to deal with level four zombies, but the little girl with mental abilities is even more difficult to handle."

That hit the nail on the head. Wenren Lei said, "Mental attacks are impossible to defend against. We can only try our best while her skills are on cooldown."

Meng Fan asked, "What if she uses her skill and then hides?"

Chi Qingmo suddenly asked, "Would earplugs even work?"
