138: Test, eight elements!
The news of Shen Yuan's awakening quickly spread throughout the base, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as the crisis of the base being massacred was finally resolved.
Professor Du Shaojie, hearing of Shen Yuan's awakening, immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed towards the infirmary. Injecting five Super Serums at once had never been attempted before. One Super Serum could, at most, awaken a Second-Class Ability User. The probability of that was already one in a million.
Five doses, there was probably only this one case in the entire world. It was just unknown what level of ability Shen Yuan could reach now.
Pushing open the infirmary door, Tian Ming's expression was no longer cold. As soon as Professor Du Shaojie entered the infirmary, he saw Shen Yuan wearing a monkey mask, which looked a bit comical.
“She's awake, she's finally awake.” The huge stone weighing on Professor Du Shaojie's heart finally lifted.
Tian Ming stood up and said to Professor Du Shaojie, “Old Du, have your people clean up, and have the base personnel clean up as well. We're relocating, everyone is moving to my Shelter.”
Professor Du Shaojie was stunned, somewhat troubled. Ever since the leader was killed by Tian Ming, everyone's hearts had been in turmoil, but this place was originally a research base, and a complete relocation was not an easy matter.
“What do you mean?” Professor Du Shaojie asked.
“It means, come to my place, and I will give you better research conditions. Any theoretically existing material, I can create for you,” Tian Ming said indifferently.
Professor Du Shaojie's heart trembled: “Theoretically existing? You can control all known elements in the world?”
Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, “I can probably control unknown ones too, as long as they are basic particles with mass. Oh, right, Shen Yuan has also awakened. Currently, it seems she can control at least three: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The rest are unknown.”
Upon hearing this, although Professor Du Shaojie was shocked, he nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, “Alright, I'll go with you. As for the others, I can't make the decision.”
Tian Ming smiled slightly and said, “You don't need to make the decision; I will make it for them. Is there a radio station here? I'll send a message to my Shelter and have them send helicopters to pick us up. All scientific researchers will fly directly. The rest will go by car, and I will personally escort them.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Professor Du Shaojie nodded repeatedly.
Tian Ming took Shen Yuan to the base's radio room and sent the message. Inside the Shelter, there were twenty-four-hour listeners. Generally, they would reply within five minutes of receiving a message. However, this time, there was no reply for a long time.
“Boss, could something have happened to the Shelter?” Shen Yuan asked.
“It shouldn't have. It's only been ten days since I left. The Shelter's walls are over seven meters high, and there are hundreds of Ability Users. With a Corpse King like Iron Dude guarding it, it's unlikely anything would happen. Let's wait a bit longer, just have them monitor here,” Tian Ming said.
Professor Du Shaojie, who was beside them, said, “Miss, we have ability testing in our base. How about you go for a test first? This will help you use your ability more familiarly. I have the official standards for Ability User classification, as well as some guidance on how Ability Users use their abilities.”
Shen Yuan, however, turned to look at Tian Ming: “Boss, should I go for a test?”
“Okay, let's test it. I'm also curious about the official classification of Ability Users,” Tian Ming nodded and said.
Shen Yuan stood up and said to Professor Du Shaojie, “Let's go, Old Du, take me to test it.”
Professor Du Shaojie nodded and led Shen Yuan to the base's ability testing room.
In the testing room, there was a circular testing platform with a diameter of two meters. The testing platform was made of metal, with various scales on its surface, and a half-meter-long induction column in the center.
Professor Du Shaojie said to Shen Yuan, “This testing platform can detect all the element types you can currently control. Point your ability at the testing platform, then use mental power to activate your ability. Your ability's reaction to the elements will trigger the various elements stored within the testing platform. This testing platform contains 100 stable elements from nature. However, some heavy elements are not included; those elements are radioactive and difficult to store.”
Shen Yuan nodded slightly. She took a breath, relaxed her mind, walked to the testing platform, and extended her hand towards the induction column.
As Shen Yuan concentrated and sensed the elements in the testing platform, the adjacent computer display screen also began to show abnormal vibrations from the sensed elements.
Hydrogen
Carbon
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Iron
Calcium
Chlorine
Sodium
There were actually eight types, Professor Du Shaojie was stunned. Currently, the highest Superpower User could only control six elements. Shen Yuan could actually control eight types. Another Ability User who surpassed Superpower Users had appeared in this world.
Professor Du Shaojie hurriedly took out the handheld tablet from the laboratory table and pulled up the official ability breakdown chart. In the subsequent series of tests, Shen Yuan's demonstrated abilities shocked him.
Shen Yuan's self-healing ability reached Level 8. Levels 1-3 involve wound self-healing, where the body's injuries can heal quickly. Levels 4-6, in addition to healing wounds, also allow for a short-term improvement in the function of body organs, such as rapid blood production after injury, automatic detoxification after poisoning, and so on.
Above Level 7, it's quite impressive: limb regeneration, spontaneous hormonal regulation, and so on. As long as there's a breath and vital organs are intact, with sufficient nutrition, one can survive.
Of course, the top-tier self-healing ability definitely belonged to Tian Ming, an immortal body, surpassing all Ability Users. Tian Ming's immortal body and other Ability Users had a fundamental difference. Even if Tian Ming was broken down into particles, he could reassemble and revive.
In addition, her body strength, power, and speed all reached Level 6 or above.
Among control abilities, Shen Yuan also gained three: levitation of objects, alteration of matter states, and temperature control. In the temperature control test, Shen Yuan could only raise the temperature of matter to about 3000 degrees Celsius. However, that was already very impressive; for example, Sun Wentao's temperature increase range was only 1000 degrees.
Shen Yuan's temperature control ability was also bidirectional; she could lower the temperature to around minus 50 degrees Celsius.
In the ability range test, Shen Yuan's ability range was only 8 meters. Ability Users evolved through the Super Serum generally had fixed attributes. To evolve again, they would need another injection of the Super Serum, but the higher the level of the Ability User, the higher the death rate they faced when evolving again.
Professor Du Shaojie pondered for a moment, then pulled out all of Shen Yuan's ability data and handed it to Shen Yuan. Testing was just the basics; how to apply it was up to Shen Yuan herself. Just like Tian Ming, who at first could only replicate soft bread from feces, which seemed very idiotic and also very childish.
At this moment, a staff member rushed over, holding a piece of paper. Tian Ming's Shelter had replied. Shen Yuan took the note, and her brows immediately furrowed.
“Boss, Meng Xian said that Gouzi, along with Qiu Wuhui, Director Han, and Zhang Hao, rebelled, causing damage to the Shelter's power plant and a loss of over thirty percent of warehouse supplies.”
Tian Ming's brows also furrowed. Gouzi would rebel? He wouldn't believe it even if he was killed. And such a huge loss?
