Apocalypse King System
Chapter 129 129: New Supernatural Power

The girl's small mouth almost formed an "o" shape, looking very cute and interesting. Tess, who was standing beside her, had the same expression. She had never expected that the master she had only met once would possess such terrifying power. It was far more powerful than the power Angelica had unleashed before, countless times stronger.

Even though Tess didn't have much affection for Derick, witnessing this amazing scene couldn't help but evoke some admiration and awe for this incredible power.

"Alright, stop staring. Let's all work hard to kill the zombies and try not to disappoint the master..." Mu Ling said to the group of female warriors who were speechless for a long time.

Derick clicked open his system panel, which had now quieted down. Nearly a hundred thousand points were displayed, as if he could buy a new supernatural power. Although it was still far from the advanced temporal and spatial abilities, it seemed that he could afford the Five Elements ability with a hundred thousand points.

"But this ability seems pretty good..." Flipping through the system store, Derick suddenly brightened up when he saw an ability called "Magnetic Field Control," which could control the magnetic force at the molecular level. Wasn't this the ability of Magneto?

"Two hundred thousand points, just a little bit more, but it should be quick..." Derick wasn't in a hurry. He now had over 190,000 points, which should be enough after killing another wave of small zombies.

Waving his hand to disperse the thunderclouds over the Zhonghai Building rooftop, Derick turned and left. At the same time, the terrifying dark clouds that had enveloped the area began to slowly dissipate, looking as if they had returned to their original state. Only the scorched earth bore traces of the previous divine might...

Derick's move wiped out nearly a hundred thousand zombies in the city center, directly upgrading his supernatural power, shocking the women inside the base and causing a huge sensation.

The terrifying phenomenon that enveloped a radius of ten kilometers was akin to the size of some small cities. Such a large-scale thunderstorm was observed by numerous survivors, deeply shocking countless people. Although it was a bit far, many survivors with professional photography equipment managed to capture this scene. At the same time, many people also took clear photos of the figure controlling the thunderclouds from the top of the building, although the face was not clearly visible.

Unfortunately, communication during the apocalypse had been largely cut off, and these survivors had no way to upload the captured images to the internet, despite their excitement.

In the outskirts of the Grizzly Bear City, within the Grizzly Bear Military District...

"Report..."

"Come in..."

A soldier entered the tent and reported to several dignified officers, "We just detected a large-scale weather anomaly over Grizzly Bear City. It is suspected to be of human origin."

"Weather anomaly, of human origin?" Inside the military district conference room, many senior officers frowned. A lieutenant walked up, took the data from the soldier, and handed it to Liu Yuanbing, the commander-in-chief of the Grizzly Bear City Military District.

Although the Grizzly Bear City Military District was under the jurisdiction of the Modu Military District, it was not small in scale. It had a permanent garrison of up to 100,000 soldiers, as well as armored vehicles, anti-aircraft missiles, armed helicopters, and permission to launch some small missiles. The equipment was sophisticated, and the training was highly disciplined.

After the apocalypse, although there had been a series of minor disturbances, Liu Yuanbing acted decisively and quickly ordered the clearance and elimination of mutated soldiers within the military district. This action prevented the entire military district from collapsing due to the zombie virus infection.

After gaining control of the entire Grizzly Bear Military District, Liu Yuanbing quickly established contact with the headquarters and the Modu Military District above. He was then tasked with advancing to clear out zombies, rescue survivors, and establish contact with the Grizzly Bear City government agencies.

Liu Yuanbing also ordered the soldiers to mobilize armored vehicles from the suburban base to advance towards the city center. However, as the military convoy had just set out for the city's outskirts, it attracted a large-scale zombie attack. The continuous influx of zombies wasted a large amount of their weapons and ammunition, resulting in significant casualties. Eventually, they had to retreat.

If it were just ordinary zombies, the military's continuous heavy firepower would have easily repelled them. However, after killing a certain number of zombies, three extremely terrifying mutated zombies emerged from the zombie horde. These zombies were five meters tall, massive in size, and had extremely grotesque and eerie appearances, resembling mutated versions of regular zombies.

The army's rocket teams, machine guns, and even aerial cannons could barely breach the defenses of these three mutant zombies, making it difficult to inflict effective damage. As a result, they suffered heavy losses in both soldiers and weapons.

In desperation, several senior officers within the military district discussed and sought permission from higher authorities to launch missiles. Finally, it took the use of two high-yield missiles to kill one of the mutant zombies. The other two managed to escape after destroying a large number of weapon positions and causing casualties among the soldiers.

From then on, Liu Yuanbing dared not mobilize large forces to attack the zombies within Grizzly Bear City. Instead, after suffering significant manpower losses, he seemed to lose interest in rescuing survivors as well.

"Come and take a look at this..." Liu Yuanbing handed the data to the people around him for them to take a look.

"It's truly unbelievable. Is this the power that humans can possess?"

"Control over lightning and thunder, with such range and power, it's almost comparable to a small nuclear bomb..."

"Cough, everyone can express their opinions about how to deal with this human who can control lightning and thunder..."

The discussion in the meeting room quieted down for a moment. Sitting on the left side, Liu Yuanbing's eldest son, Colonel Liu Yu, spoke up, "Commander, I think that this apocalypse may be an evolution, and the zombies are the failed products of that evolution. The person who controls lightning and thunder is a successful case of evolution."

"He may have some special abilities or have had some extraordinary experiences, which triggered his evolution. As for other people, it may be a subtle and imperceptible evolution. Have you noticed recently that the survivors are gradually becoming physically stronger?"

Liu Yu's words made sense. It wasn't just an isolated case. Anyone who didn't turn into a zombie at the beginning of the apocalypse would notice that their physical fitness was gradually improving over time. However, this process was extremely slow and not as obvious as the evolution of zombies.

"Let's talk about the three zombies we encountered last time. They were probably evolved from ordinary zombies. If zombies can evolve, why can't humans?" Liu Yu began to speak confidently.

"So, we must find a way to control this person and uncover the secret of his evolution. This way, we can unlock the gateway to human evolution."

At this point, the eyes of many senior officers in the military district lit up. They had witnessed the horror of the three mutated zombies last time, and even the heavy artillery had difficulty breaching their defenses. If they were to obtain a terrifying lightning ability like the one in the video, they could certainly redeem themselves.

At this moment, not only others, but even a glint of ambition flashed in Liu Yuanbing's eyes. With such powerful control over lightning at his disposal, there was no need to obey higher commands to rescue any survivors; it was simply a joke.

As everyone in the meeting room began to fantasize ambitiously about unlocking the gateway to human evolution, Liu Yuanbing's second daughter, Liu Wanting, stood up and said, "No, we can't do this."

"Let alone what kind of ability that person has, even if we rashly advance into Grizzly Bear City, we don't know what powerful zombies it might attract. It will definitely be dangerous," Liu Wanting began to feel anxious. Attacking without understanding the situation was tantamount to playing with the lives of soldiers.

Before Liu Yuanbing could speak, Liu Yu and several veteran officers interrupted Liu Wanting's words. "Don't worry so much. You are too cautious. This is not a good thing."

"That's right, no matter how strong he is, if he can withstand bullets and artillery fire, his control over lightning may just be a coincidence. Besides, this is for the evolution of all humanity. Can he refuse?"
