Chapter One: The Beginning Unfolds

  "What are you doing? Don't be reckless! Lord Tu will not let you off..."

  At this time, 'Huang Ge' was already tied up with five flowers under Liang Jing's command. Seeing Liang Jing's big hand reaching for his head, his heart suddenly contracted, and he almost reflexively shouted loudly, but felt that his tone was much softer than before.

  Looking at his opponent who didn't seem to care about him at all, the fists that kept getting closer and closer to his head seemed to have some kind of magic power. 'Huang Ge' could no longer control the fear in his heart.

  "No, don't kill me! You can make me do anything you want, really, anything at all. Just spare my life and I'll be your most loyal dog, I'll bite whoever you tell me to..."

  "I am the awakened one, I have great power, I can help you with many things, and I also know a lot about the Zhao family, I know..."

  "Huang Ge" had thoroughly recognized the situation at this time. The other party was not affected by his backstage forces at all, or in other words, the other party was simply a fugitive who didn't care about anything. He was terrified in his heart. He was now an awakened person, transformed from a migrant worker to a high-ranking elite of humanity. His good days had just begun, how could he possibly die like this? He wanted to live on.

  "I am an Awakener, you see that I have powerful abilities, previously it has been calculated that one in a hundred thousand people can become an Awakener..."

  "Huang Ge" seemed to be unclear again at this time, constantly saying various messages he knew while begging for mercy, especially when he saw Liang Jing's movements stopped, as if seeing hope and constantly speaking quickly.

  Liang Jing saw that the other party was so cooperative, and he was happy to stop his actions and listen carefully to the other party's words. From this, Liang Jing understood that they were a group of migrants who had escaped from S City. Because S City was too close to the ocean, there were many mutated monsters, and most of them were extremely powerful. They would land on the shore at any moment. The ZF military could still effectively suppress the mutated monsters' offensive pace at first, but as time passed, the mutated monsters continued to grow stronger, and it seemed that they had unified command. Casualties increased, and ammunition consumption became more severe. To make matters worse, there was no electricity now, making production extremely difficult. In the end, the high-level officials of S City could only come up with a plan to abandon S City and retreat to N City. Of course, this involved having various special groups that needed military protection to leave first. However, this was discovered by the intelligent mutated monsters, which launched a surprise attack on S City. With the reduced number of troops, the defensive line's strength continued to decrease, causing S City to collapse instantly. Many people were killed and eaten by the mutated monsters, and only a few managed to survive.

  In the relatively stable and safe period at the beginning, the higher-ups were very concerned about the Awakened, and they conducted a thorough investigation of these Awakeners. Based on the total number of people in S City before the mutation and the current known number of Awakeners, the result is roughly that one Awakener is born out of 100,000 people. This is a big difference compared to the data obtained from the survivors who escaped from K City. However, both are rough estimates with many errors and unreasonable places, such as some people who can awaken being killed by monsters beforehand, or some Awakeners hiding their identities, etc. But it also reveals a problem: Awakeners are really rare, at least tens of thousands of people can appear only one Awakener.

  It can be seen that the awakened are scarce resources, and now it may not be very obvious, but in the future they will definitely be the main force for humans to fight against various increasingly powerful intelligent growing mutant monsters; and as the power of the awakened continues to increase, firearms have various restrictions, if the ammunition is used up, production will be much more difficult, and humans can only rely on the strong awakened to seek a place to settle.

  The awakened will become the upper class of humanity and the object of contention among various forces.

  "Is the Tuo Gongzi you mentioned from the Tuo family of N City?" Liang Jing knew a little about it, and was very concerned about this enemy who had already made an enemy with him and was cruel and ruthless. Suddenly, he felt a movement in his heart, could it be so coincidental?

  "Yes, Lord Tu is indeed from the Tu family of N City, a powerful and old family in N City. Even our military leaders in this migrant group are very flattering to the Tu family, so...". 'Huang Ge' was somewhat surprised that the other party had guessed that Lord Tu was from the Tu family of N City, but for the sake of his own life, he quickly pieced together all the information he knew and told it to the other party, hoping to survive first. The rest would have to wait until his injuries healed, and then he would see what happened next.

  "Oh?!"

  Liang Jing raised an eyebrow, silently pondering, unexpectedly finding that she and the Tu family really had an inexplicable fate. First, there was the matter with the two mothers and sons, and the black-clothed man, Dai Wu, now this matter has arisen again.

  I've already decided to join a group of survivors and migrate to N City to check out the situation and increase our strength. After all, I'm not feeling very safe right now, and every day we spend in the wilderness is a day of fear and anxiety. The pressure is huge, and who knows when we'll encounter powerful monsters like the "Basilisk" or hordes of mutated mosquitoes? If we're led by someone with low intelligence, we won't even have the strength to fight back. But if I join a group, it's different - in my dark heart, I think that even if we face great danger, our combined strength will allow us to escape faster than most people. And when the time comes, all these people will be our cushion...

  Die for a friend, but not for wealth.

  However, I have already clashed with Tu Jia and Tu Gongzi twice, and it can be said that we have a deep-seated grudge. Given their personalities, if they find out it was me who did it, they will definitely not let it go easily. Moreover, that black-clad man, Dai Wu, is still alive and escaped, so the chances of running into them again are high. It seems I need to be prepared, and in the worst-case scenario, I might even have to face an army among the crowd.

  From 'Huang Ge's words, Liang Jing already knew that not far from them was the location of Tu Gongzi, which was also where the crowd that had escaped from S City was located. The number of people was tens of millions or more, moving in groups towards N City. Liang Jing had now decided to wear the 'Fierce Mask' all the time, although it looked quite conspicuous, but the black-clothed man had seen his appearance before, and the probability of truly encountering each other at that time should not be very high. However, Liang Jing still made the worst preparations, but for now, let's just see what gains there will be...

  "What else do you want to do? I've said everything, what more can I..."

  'Huang Ge' saw Liang Jing rushing towards him again, shouting loudly and struggling with all his might. Unfortunately, this was the tendon of a mutated bull, which was very tough. Even if he hadn't been seriously injured, being tied up by Wang Meng and the others would have left him powerless to struggle; in an instant, he was knocked unconscious by Liang Jing.

  At this time, Liang Jing handed over the remaining two little brothers who were hit by Liang Jing's steel balls and broke their wrists to the crowd for questioning. Without avoiding the crowd, a white transparent thin film appeared in Liang Jing's hand and wrapped it around Huang Ge's head, who had already fainted.

  Liang Jing is using his innate ability 'Copy' to scan.

  Liang Jing manipulated the white transparent membrane to penetrate into Huang Ge's head, bypassing various brain tissues and heading straight for the mysterious Sea of Consciousness where the symbol of extraordinary abilities was located. The white transparent membrane slowly wrapped around a mysterious location deep within Huang Ge's brain, slowly analyzing and penetrating. A progress bar also appeared in Liang Jing's Sea of Consciousness as he attempted to analyze and scan it. Unfortunately, as time continued to slip away, Liang Jing's face began to sweat profusely, his complexion gradually turning pale, causing the onlookers to worry.

  Progress bar: 0% —— 0.001% ——

  Huh!——

  Liang Jing suddenly stopped all movements, panting heavily, his face pale, and cold sweat kept flowing out; still no good! Previously wanting to copy the black snake's talent symbol, as a result, even if Liang Jing exhausted all the energy in his body, he couldn't let the scanning function of the white transparent film enter the sea of recognition, and could only reluctantly give up; this time he changed his mind, greedily scanning the sea of recognition together, as a result, the human brain's sea of recognition was opened, which is a very mysterious and complex existence, and it's not something that Liang Jing's current little bit of impure energy can succeed in, suddenly consuming violently, his whole body feeling extremely uncomfortable.

  Although Liang Jing really wanted this enhanced physical defense ability, reality was such that he could only give up dejectedly.
