Chapter 77: Lu Ming’s Potential Awakening
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Turning ordinary people into Awakened individuals was a topic that ng Jie had once raised.
Unfortunately, Guangping Street lacked the necessary experintal equipnt and assistants. It was already comndable that ng Jie could research the evolution of Awakened individuals through devouring zombie crystals. Any further progress was beyond her capabilities.
However, ng Jie could not do it, but Huo Sheng was different.
Firstly, his knowledge was indeed superior to ng Jie’s.
Most importantly, he had the support of the entire official shelter—both people and equipnt, were readily available.
A long ti ago, Huo Sheng had already started researching the topic of artificially creating Awakened individuals.
Not to ntion the difficulties encountered along the way, but in short, until a few days ago, Huo Sheng finally found a safe and effective thod to turn ordinary people into Awakened individuals.
“The key lies in the mystery factor.”
“It is known that for ordinary people to beco Awakened individuals, the cells in their bodies need to combine with the mystery factor.”
“And Zombie crystals are pure amalgams of mystery factors.”
The thod was simple.
Extract and dilute the mystery factor from the zombie crystal, mix it with special substances, and inject it into the human body through intravenous injection.
“The key here lies in the quantity of the mystery factor.”
“Even the lowest Tier 1 zombie crystal can explode an ordinary person! Therefore, the difficulty of the experint lies in how to further separate the mystery factor in the zombie crystal.”
When it ca to professional knowledge, Huo Sheng’s expression imdiately changed. He beca excited and focused, speaking fluently and non-stop.
However, when he saw that Lu Ming and Zhang Chengcheng did not show much interest, he sighed softly and went straight to the point.
“Mr. Lu’s body is different from that of ordinary people.”
“If an ordinary person directly swallowed the zombie crystal, their cells would imdiately be crushed by the mystery factor and they would definitely turn into zombies within ten seconds. However, due to the strength of your physical abilities, Mr. Lu, you can directly consu the Zombie crystal, and you will be able to completely absorb the mystery factor within it.”
“Once the concentration of the mystery factor in your body reaches a certain threshold, you will complete your Awakening and beco a Level 1 Awakened!”
Being stronger indeed made a difference.
Even the mystery factor had to open a back door for you…
In short, Lu Ming and Zhang Chengcheng understood Huo Sheng’s words.
If Lu Ming wanted to progress further and beco an Awakened, all he needed to do was to consu Zombie crystals.
Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 zombie crystals were fine.
If one was not enough, he would take two. If two were not enough, he would take three. He would continue to consu them until Awakening!
Zhang Chengcheng’s face revealed excitent.
Brother Lu was already strong now. How powerful would he beco after Awakening!?
Lu Ming, on the other hand, remained calm.
After thinking for a mont, he asked, “Are you sure it’s not dangerous?”
Huo Sheng nodded affirmatively, “I’m sure! There’s absolutely no danger.”
However….
Eating the nucleus of a zombie…
This was really a little disgusting.
However, for the sake of strength, Lu Ming could tolerate a bit of disgust.
The problem lay in the level of risk.
Unlike acquaintances like Zhang Chengcheng, Wang Xiong, and ng Jie, Lu Ming was not very familiar with Huo Sheng. Lu Ming was not completely convinced by what he said.
After so thought, Lu Ming continued, “I want to see the entire process of an ordinary person becoming an Awakened. Is it possible to start from the stage of processing the zombie crystal?”
Lu Ming’s caution did not co as a surprise to Huo Sheng.
Instead, he smiled slightly, as if to say, “I was waiting for you to say this.”
After that, he said, “Coincidentally, I also have the intention to beco an Awakened individual this ti. Let personally demonstrate it to you. What do you think?”
That could not be better.
Huo Sheng was a smart person.
Even though he had not interacted much with Lu Ming, Huo Sheng had indirectly learned what kind of person Lu Ming was.
Otakus did not like to interact with others.
At the sa ti, he had a bit of paranoid delusion, always thinking of things in a negative light and believing that soone would harm him.
—This could be seen from the fact that Lu Ming had not allowed anyone, not even Zhang Chengcheng, to step inside his ho.
To gain the trust of such a person would inevitably require prolonged contact. However, at the mont when the Tier 4 zombie tentacle monster appeared, Huo Sheng realized that humanity’s ti was truly running out…
The zombies were evolving, becoming stronger and more terrifying!
anwhile, the evolution of human Awakened individuals had stagnated— Tyrants were difficult to find, Zombie crystals were scarce, and leaving the safety zone to actively hunt Tyrants was too dangerous and not worthwhile at all.
To put it bluntly, the main purpose of Huo Sheng’s visit today was not to discuss the issue of Tier 4 zombies with Lu Ming, or even to inform Lu Ming that he could progress further and beco an Awakened individual.
Huo Sheng simply wanted Lu Ming to beco an Awakened individual!
Lu Ming had to progress further and beco an Awakened individual!
Otherwise, the future of humanity was really worrying!
Of course, Huo Sheng also knew that Lu Ming, who was not an Awakened, must have a secret.
But was that important?
It did not matter at all!
Digging into the secrets of a strong individual and offending the strong—let’s not even ntion whether he had a way to control Lu Ming or not. Even if he did, as a leader, if he were to do such a thing, humanity might as well be destroyed, and there would be no point in the struggle.
What was the point of a bunch of idiots fussing around…
The location of the experint was in ng Jie’s laboratory.
Taking out a Tier 1 zombie crystal, Bai Tianyu helped Huo Sheng retrieve an instrunt—a small centrifuge that resembled a blender.
Under Lu Ming’s interested gaze, Huo Sheng activated the centrifuge and placed the zombie crystals inside.
Soon, the zombie crystals began to lt, transforming into streams of air with twinkling specks of light. The streams flowed out of the centrifuge through another opening and were collected.
Bai Tianyu and his warriors brought more equipnt and raw materials.
As Huo Sheng concocted so kind of pale red liquid, he explained, “Actually, the difficulty in turning ordinary people into Awakened individuals lies in the quantity of the mystery factor. Have you seen those streams of air? Those are the diluted mystery factors.”
“If you don’t mind the pain, you can directly inhale the diluted mystery factors to beco an Awakened individual. However, although this thod is not dangerous, it is very painful and difficult to endure.”
After speaking, Huo Sheng shook the test tube containing the mixed liquid and said, “This is a painkiller that can fuse with mystery factors. When combined, it can reduce the pain to a level that an ordinary person can endure.”
With that, ng Jie stepped forward and rolled up her sleeves.
After properly fusing the painkiller with the mystery factor, Huo Sheng injected it into ng Jie’s body.
Soon, ng Jie began to experience fever and body convulsions, indicating that she was in pain.
However, Huo Sheng no longer paid attention to ng Jie and instead looked back at the experintal table.
He picked up a portion of the collected Mystery Factors, pulled out the test tube stopper, took a deep breath and sucked in the other portion of Mystery Factor into his nasal cavity.
Veins popped out on his forehead.
Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.
Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Huo Sheng turned to look at Lu Ming. As he trembled, he smiled and said, “I recomnd Mr. Lu to directly consu the zombie crystals.”
“Just like what I… am doing now…”
