196: The army of superpowered individuals has been established.

"I'll go get them for you." Si Nan put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran to her main building, quickly returning with a large bag of seeds.

Professor Xu Zhaofeng quickly took them and placed them inside the quilt in her room. "They can't freeze; seeds are living things too."

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

After the meal, Si Nan did not let everyone leave. "Today is a special day. Luo Sen and I want to check if everyone has the potential to awaken a Supernatural Ability."

"Let's be clear upfront: if you awaken one, it means your life has an extra layer of protection. If you don't, that's also normal. All of us were originally just ordinary people, so just carry on as usual."

She looked around and saw eyes full of anticipation. Even if that anticipation turned into despair later, they still had to try.

"I'll go first. Sister Nan, don't worry. We aren't three-year-olds anymore. If we don't awaken an ability, we won't turn into frostbitten eggplants."

Ma Bufan stood among the crowd, pounding his chest with surging confidence.

"Commendable courage, worthy of praise." Si Nan praised him with a smile.

Luo Sen placed a small bag of green crystal cores on the table, picked up a small one, thought about it, and then swapped it for a large one.

The four youths did not awaken a Supernatural Ability, but their bodies showed no adverse reactions, indicating they could handle the power of large crystal cores.

Crushed, injected—the second was Guan Xiaoning—then the third—everyone inside Yunshu Mountain Villa tried, including the oldest Professor Xu Zhaofeng and Old Couple Zhou, except for Bai Duoduo, who was a few months old, and the newborn Song Xiaonian.

Great news! Song Yuan and Ma Bufan both awakened Supernatural Abilities. Song Yuan awakened a Water-type Supernatural Ability, and Ma Bufan awakened the Earth Evasion Technique. Isn't that strange? The main thing is, he really disliked it.

"Ah, no way? I wanted something awesome, like, I yell 'Sword, come!' and the sword flies over by itself. How did I end up as a groundhog? Does this mean I'm supposed to run away if I can't win?"

His words made everyone in the room who hadn't awakened an ability gnash their teeth in frustration. He actually disliked it, while they didn't even have that talent.

"Brother, I want it! Give it to me, okay? This is so good! If I get upset, 'swoosh,' I can burrow underground, and no one can find me when we play hide-and-seek." Bai Zhuangzhuang suddenly ran in from outside, sweating profusely.

Bai Zichuan, who was disappointed he hadn't awakened an ability, immediately said, "Quick, check if my son has this talent!"

If the father can't do it, look to the son! At least one person in the family should awaken an ability, or he'd feel truly sorry toward Sister Nan.

An An followed him in, pointing at Bai Zhuangzhuang and saying, "Dad, Zhuangzhuang can definitely do it. When I play with him, he has so much strength, he can even push me down."

Si Nan also wanted to try, so she pushed The little fellow in front of Luo Sen. "Hurry up and let Uncle Luo try. If you awaken a Supernatural Ability, your dad won't feel like a frostbitten eggplant anymore."

Bai Zichuan: "..."

He had tried his best to pretend everything was fine, but Sister Nan still saw through him.

"Alright, maybe you can make your dad instantly turn into a dancing potato." Luo Sen was in a good mood and joked around. Three people had awakened abilities all at once. If The little fellow, Bai Zhuangzhuang, could also awaken one, Yunshu Mountain Villa would be greatly strengthened. Training them all up wouldn't that create a special army?

Bai Zichuan's heart suffered another 10,000 points of critical damage. He gave a forced laugh. "Hehehe, it's the same whether my son or I awaken one."

Ma Bufan, who lacked emotional intelligence, was still unhappy and dwelling on his Earth Evasion Technique. "How can that be the same? If you awaken it, it's yours. If your son awakens it, it's his."

Bai Zichuan: "..."

A third critical hit! Can't they just give him a break?

Just as his heart was bleeding, his son's small body suddenly burst open with a "bang." Frightened, he quickly hugged his son tightly. "What's wrong? Zhuangzhuang, don't scare Dad—Oh my, you little brat—Huh? Huh? Huh? Did my son awaken an ability?"

Bai Zichuan had just been shaken by his son in his arms, causing his back to hit the sofa, resulting in an undignified head-first fall. Seeing the power emanating from his son's small body, he instantly scrambled up, ecstatic, and rushed back to his son.

"Don't get close. Luo Sen is teaching your son to control his power right now. Congratulations, your dream has come true."

Si Nan stopped the excited Bai Zichuan; her face was beaming with joy.

Hahaha, now her Master, Song Yuan, Ma Bufan, Bai Zhuangzhuang, and An An are all Ability Users. This special team is quite sizable.

Five minutes later, Bai Zhuangzhuang's power stabilized. The power surge was due to the Supernatural Ability awakening. Excited, he immediately rushed into Bai Zichuan's arms. "Dad, I awakened an ability! I awakened an ability! I'm like An An now."

"Son, you're amazing! You didn't embarrass your dad. You deserve a kiss."

Bai Zichuan was more excited than anyone else, kissing his son frantically. With his son awakening an ability, his family had gained face, and their lives had an extra layer of protection.

"Really? Really? Zhuangzhuang awakened an ability?" Bai Rong, who had gone out to comfort the Child, returned, so happy that she almost dropped the daughter in her arms.

"Mom, I awakened one!" Bai Zhuangzhuang saw his mother rush over after getting down from his father's arms, looked up at her, and puffed up like a proud rooster.

"That's wonderful! That's fantastic! Mommy is so happy she could cry." Bai Rong picked up her son, so excited that she felt like weeping.

In short, today was a day of great celebration. Si Nan and Luo Sen couldn't stop smiling. Their Supernatural Ability Army had been built, and they were invincible.

Si Nan's mood surged like waves. She raised her hand and declared, "I'm treating everyone today. Eat and drink to your heart's content."

"Yeah! Sister Nan is mighty!"

"Ooh, ooh, ooh! That's great!"

This news was even more exhilarating than awakening a Supernatural Ability. Being able to eat a feast was the greatest luxury in the Apocalypse.

With over twenty people, young and old, they opened two tables for lunch. There was chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and shrimp—a true feast, with the same dishes, plus fried chicken and fries that the children loved. Everyone was incredibly delighted.

The men drank, ate meat, and played finger-guessing games at one table, while the women and children laughed joyfully at the other, celebrating as happily as the New Year.

After the meal and a short rest, everyone went back to their tasks. Si Nan and Luo Sen hurried back to the Residential Area; it was time to deal with the 'disturbances' nearby.

An hour later, the sports car arrived at the gate of the Residential Area closest to Si Nan's small villa. What a coincidence—the previous group had returned and was desperately ramming the gate with their heavily modified, hybrid vehicle.

Inside the nearby guardhouse, Gu Jie, Director Lin, Mao Xin, and others were fully armed, leading a roomful of people, watching the enemy ramming the gate with serious expressions.

"Clang—Clang, clang—" The repeated loud noises echoed deeply in the hearts of Gu Jie and the others, shaking their very souls.

They knew clearly that the enemy, attacking a second time, must have come fully prepared. Their ammunition was running low after the last defense battle.

What if—just what if—the gate couldn't hold up under such continuous ramming?

Since the two most powerful figures weren't present, they would face a brutal fight. However, if it truly came to that, they would fight to the death to wipe out these invaders, or else they and everyone's families would be the ones to die.

The sharp-eyed Mao Xin suddenly spotted a sleek sports car driving over, and all his worries vanished instantly. "Look! Sister Nan and Brother Sen are back!"
