Xia Jin's words were like a siren's call, causing the audience present to involuntarily clench their fists.
Because it was a holographic projection, Xia Jin could clearly see what the people on the ground were doing from the audience's side.
An excited young man suddenly stepped forward: "Of course, we don't want to be threatened by zombies, but what can you do?"
Xia Jin's words were like the gentle breeze on a midsummer night, seeping into everyone's hearts, strand by strand.
Xia Jin: "Of course, everyone has the right to become stronger."
He continued, "I believe everyone can see from the live broadcasts these past few days that all species in the world are evolving, but only human abilities are stagnating."
"As you can see, if nature does not allow humans to evolve, then humans can fulfill their own desire to evolve themselves."
"The flames like those you see on the screen are developed by us through special substances extracted from those monsters. This special potion can strengthen human physique and simultaneously awaken abilities, making you even more powerful."
Audience: "Then this stuff won't have side effects, right!"
Xia Jin smiled faintly, seemingly unfazed by the质疑.
"Living examples are right before your eyes. You don't have to become stronger if you don't want to."
Xia Jin's face held an inscrutable smile, and he looked at everyone with a firm gentleness.
Even the supervisors in the logistics department were tempted.
If they had such awesome abilities, wouldn't they have to fear being chased by zombies!
Xia Jin's speech was still ongoing. As he spoke, an interface asking whether they wanted to participate in the ability volunteer program appeared on everyone's wristbands.
"If you also want to try a path to becoming stronger, you can click to sign up for our ability volunteer experience program. It's free in the initial stages, and we promise not to charge you any fees."
As soon as Xia Jin finished speaking, the crowd below became noisy and restless again.
"Will there be any risks in this volunteer program? Why is it free!........"
All sorts of tricky questions instantly bombarded Xia Jin.
But Xia Jin's expression on the screen remained unchanged, still wearing a smile as always.
"Because we are a common community of humanity, we need a portion of people to become stronger first. As for whether this volunteer activity will be dangerous, our initial test subjects are already presented before you. Do you think the flames used by that person earlier looked like a defective product?"
"We already possess such mature technology, how bad can it get?"
It had to be said that Xia Jin's words, spoken plainly, were logical and well-founded.
Many people were persuaded by Xia Jin and clicked confirm on their wristbands without hesitation.
But these people did not know that this confirmation was like a contract, similar to indentured servitude.
They also didn't know what kind of person Xia Jin was, who was eloquently explaining grand principles on screen.
And Xu An knew nothing of all this.
No one knew when Xia Jin had developed a method for artificially developing abilities.
Even less did anyone know what Xia Jin truly intended to do!
After the 20-minute intermission featuring Xia Jin's speech, the live competition footage returned to normal.
However, even Xu An and the others themselves didn't expect that abilities, which were originally rare, had become mass-produced commodities.
It was quite speechless.
This speechless feeling continued until later, when Xu An and Zhou Haimai told others about their abilities, and the other party reacted with a plain expression.
But this also provided cover for Xu An and the others.
After all, abilities were still quite heaven-defying.
If only a small number of people in the Lighthouse possessed abilities, a power capable of destroying everything, that person would be punished.
Precisely because of the fear of the unknown, and the envy of possessing such a treasure, everyone would rather destroy it than allow one person to possess it completely.
However, with Xia Jin's actions, things became very interesting.
Ability users directly became common as ordinary cabbage.
What?
You say abilities are terrifying?
There are ability users all over the streets now, so what's so terrifying about it? Saying it's hard to control is just nonsense.
But all this was a matter for later.
At this moment, Xu An was sitting by an ice lake in the snowfield, lost in thought.
Zhou Haimai, standing beside her, nudged Xu An's leg, "What are you doing?"
Xu An looked listlessly at the calm, unruffled surface of the lake.
"Sitting and spacing out."
"Are there really water monsters in here?" Zhou Haimai frowned, repeatedly tapping the ice surface with her scabbard, with such force that she cracked the ice.
Xu An shook her head, indicating she didn't know either.
"I came here following the map. Please don't put too much pressure on a directionally challenged person, okay? Doesn't the map given by that girl we met also mark this place?"
Xu An's voice was lazy, as if she lacked energy.
Zhou Haimai naturally noticed Xu An's low spirits.
"What's wrong? Not happy?"
Xu An nodded, then shook her head.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I don't know why I always feel like something is about to happen. Do you understand? A sense of unease."
Zhou Haimai took Xu An's hand, "You, you just overthink things. But a person's energy is limited; you can't possibly worry about so many things at once. You're already doing great, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Xu An pursed her lips but remained silent.
After all, pressure wasn't something that could simply be dismissed.
Not to mention anything else, just Yueyue.
Yueyue's whereabouts were still unknown, possibly confined in some dark and damp laboratory.
How could anyone bear to abandon such a young child?
And be willing to confine her to a laboratory from such a young age, waiting to undergo various experiments every day.
Just thinking about these scenes made Xu An feel suffocated.
Her high stakes in this competition were also due to this reason.
Earlier, in the struggle for Yueyue, it was precisely because Xu An was just an ordinary person with no power or influence on the Lighthouse.
That's why Qin Chuan dared to scheme against her.
If she had enough capability, enough authority on the Lighthouse,
Then perhaps Qin Chuan would not dare to scheme against her, and Yueyue would not have been taken away to suffer such torture!
