Chapter 268 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (57)
This situation can also be resolved with the X-02 reagent, but everything comes at a price. Once a superhuman uses the X-02 reagent, they will be completely reduced to an ordinary person.
After these superhumans found out, they absolutely refused to use the X-02 reagent.
The X-01 reagent can only relieve the symptoms, but injecting the reagent is not a long-term solution. Once they inject an excessive amount of X-01 reagent, their bodies will begin to collapse.
By then, no one will be able to save them.
Shen Chumo could understand them. After all, to be able to raise their superpower level to such a high level at this time, they had to put in several times or even ten times more hard work and effort than others.
Now they are being asked to give up the superpowers they have worked so hard to cultivate and turn back into ordinary people with no special abilities. This is undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing for them.
Those with superpowers hold a special status, enjoying privileges unavailable to ordinary people at the base. For them, superpowers are a means of survival. However, the situation is not entirely clear, and no one knows what the future holds.
But as long as they possess special abilities, they will at least have the ability to protect themselves no matter what happens.
Therefore, they would rather endure their physical discomfort than receive the X-02 reagent.
What Shen Chumo wants to research now is how to remove the blood sting energy from the bodies of current ability users while preserving their abilities.
Even Ying Chu had started to show symptoms. If she hadn't accidentally discovered that Ying Chu had locked himself in the basement and then came out to cook for her right when she got off work, she would have been in trouble.
Ying Chu didn't know how long he had to keep it from her.
Logically speaking, Ying Chu should have developed these symptoms long ago, but Shen Chumo frequently fed Ying Chu spiritual spring water, greatly improving Ying Chu's physical condition.
That's why Ying Chu has been able to hold out until now.
Thinking of how Ying Chu always acted as if nothing was wrong with her, Shen Chumo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Although Ying Chu still had one last resort—injecting the X-02 reagent—Shen Chumo wanted to try and see if she could find a better way.
Regarding the blood sting reagent, the most authoritative voices were Lin Yu, Lin Yuan, and Professor Zeng, but Lin Yu is dead.
Lin Yuan himself deeply resented the blood stings in his body and injected himself with X-02 a long time ago. Now, Lin Yuan is just an ordinary person.
Professor Zeng has done some research on blood stings, but he doesn't have much of a clue about how to preserve superpowers.
After learning of Shen Chumo's thoughts, Lin Yuan realized that there might still be records about blood stings in Lin Yu's laboratory, so he secretly went back to his old school and found the document.
Shen Chumo finished reading the document, and an excited expression appeared on her face.
As expected, the one who understands Blood Sting best is Lin Yu, or rather, Lin Yu who is controlled by "Lin Yuan".
This folder records the specific mechanisms by which blood sting energy is used to stimulate supernatural abilities and interact with natural energy.
This is crucial information that Shen Chumo and the others had been unable to fully understand before.
If this mechanism is fully mastered, not only can the abilities of existing superhumans be preserved, but it might also stimulate ordinary people to awaken their own superhuman abilities.
In the future, this world will likely evolve into a world of superhumans.
"Great, Xiaoyuan, I've got an idea. Let's go find Professor Zeng."
Professor Zeng was focused on studying a sample in the laboratory when he saw Shen Chumo and Lin Yuan rushing in. He was quite surprised and asked, "Chumo, what happened to Xiao Yuan? You two seem to be in a hurry."
Shen Chumo, without even taking a breath, quickly handed the folder to Professor Zeng: "Professor, please take a look at this. This is Lin Yuan's research record of Lin Yu, which details the mechanism by which Blood Sting energy stimulates supernatural abilities and interacts with natural energy."
I think we can find a solution to the blood sting problem based on this, while retaining our special abilities.
Professor Zeng took the folder and carefully flipped through it. His expression gradually changed from surprise to joy: "This...this is really important! If these records are true, then we may indeed find a breakthrough."
Shen Chumo excitedly pointed to one of the pages of data and said, "Professor, look, this mentions that when Blood Sting energy combines with superpowers, it forms a special energy field. This energy field can absorb and transform the surrounding natural energy, thereby enhancing the abilities of superpowered individuals."
However, at the same time, the blood sting energy will gradually erode the body and mind of the superhuman during this process.
If we can find a way to break the dominance of blood sting energy in this energy field, allowing natural energy to be used stably and continuously by those with supernatural abilities, without being controlled by blood sting energy, perhaps we can solve the problem.
Professor Zeng nodded slightly, lost in thought: "Hmm, it's theoretically feasible, but in practice it might not be so easy. We need to find a substance or energy form that can precisely act on this energy field, and we also need to ensure that it doesn't cause too much harm to the superhuman."
Lin Yuan listened to their discussion from the side. Although there were some parts he didn't quite understand, he could sense the importance of this record: "So what should we do?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Chumo said, "I think we can start by looking for substances with special energy properties, such as crystals or minerals that contain pure natural energy, and see if they can affect the energy field formed by the blood sting energy."
At the same time, we can also try to use some energy guiding devices to adjust the way and frequency of natural energy entering the body of the superhuman, so as to avoid excessive absorption of blood sting energy.
Professor Zeng agreed: "Yes, this is a good direction."
We also need to conduct more detailed physical examinations and energy monitoring on individuals with supernatural abilities to understand the specific state of their blood energy and supernatural abilities, in order to better develop personalized treatment plans.
Once the plan was finalized, the three of them immediately began to take action.
Shen Chumo was responsible for organizing and analyzing the physical data of the superhumans, while Professor Zeng led the team to search for potentially useful special substances, and Lin Yuan took the initiative to assist Shen Chumo in collecting data and preparing experimental equipment.
A year later, Shen Chumo officially announced the Y-01 reagent and a method for ordinary people to awaken their superpowers.
During this year, humanity has reclaimed several large cities, and with the help of those with superpowers, those once desolate and broken cities are gradually coming back to life.
The ruins on the streets were gradually cleared away, and the collapsed buildings were rebuilt with the help of the superhumans using their various abilities. The once desolate place began to be filled with lively atmosphere.
Most people moved back to the city, and the government allocated housing to them according to their population. The houses had electricity and water, and their old appliances could be reused.
In a daze, they thought they had returned to before the apocalypse.
