#589 - Transhuman Registration

Katie felt like she was going crazy, doubting Gwen's words, thinking about using Hyperion as a jump rope?

However, seeing Gwen's certainty, Katie wasn't sure if Gwen was telling the truth, but since she had no other options now, she might as well believe Gwen for the time being.

Seeing that Katie seemed to be in a better mood, Gwen invited her to spend the night in her room, anyway, her bed was big enough for two girls to sleep in without any problem.

Katie didn't refuse, she really needed to do some ordinary girly things now to relieve those terrifying, world-destroying things.

Even if the world was going to end, it wasn't now, now was the time for good children to sleep.

Looking at Katie's softened sleeping face, Gwen decided to wait and see what happened, and if there was a real crisis, she would contact Yang Le to solve the problem.

King against king, general against general, don't take on work that is not suitable for you, Gwen still understands this principle.

...

Faint lights flickered in the dark space, Reed and the others were sitting around an oil lamp. It was already late at night, but no one here could sleep.

The reason was the radio in front of them, placed in front of the oil lamp. Just a few hours ago, it had broadcast Hyperion's speech. Although there were no visuals, they could piece together what happened on the scene based on the sound.

Hyperion's declaration of dictatorship, coupled with his cold-blooded performance, none of the four people present could completely trust him.

"Sounds like he's going to drag us to the Golden Triangle," Johnny said jokingly, wrapped in a rag.

Because he had been a Fire Man not long ago and had burned through three sets of clothes after extinguishing, the other three unanimously decided not to give Johnny any more clothes.

At first, Johnny protested, but he gave up after being ignored by everyone for a long time.

"Then I must be good material for hard labor now," Ben said in a muffled voice, picking up Johnny's words. He was very upset about turning into this stone man, but he felt relieved when he saw Johnny on fire.

Seeing Johnny able to turn back into a human, he was filled with hope, after all, they were irradiated with the same kind of energy, although they each gained different abilities, they should still belong to the same kind of people.

Ben felt that since Johnny could change back, there was no reason why he couldn't. Reed also thought so. According to his speculation, it should be a matter of energy consumption. Johnny was a Fire Man and was constantly burning, so the energy consumption was naturally faster, so he would return to human form faster than Ben.

Ben only had the mood to joke after listening to Reed's words, after all, this friend of his had never made a mistake in academics since he was a child. In Ben's opinion, Reed's words were more useful than any comfort.

Only Reed knew that he was actually just comforting Ben. Without professional equipment to check, even he couldn't deduce unfamiliar knowledge out of thin air. He said the kind of untenable words earlier because he was afraid that Ben would think wildly.

But Reed was confident that even if Ben wouldn't change back on his own, he could find a way to change Ben back, but the prerequisite was to leave here.

"Reed, what do you think?" Susan obviously wasn't in the mood to joke, and turned to ask Reed, who had been repairing something, but the progress was very slow because of the light.

"Let's wait and see," Reed put down the machine he was tinkering with. "Let others test the waters for us, we'll know if it's good or bad at a glance."

Not everyone understands the principle of the early bird catches the worm, there will always be some impatient or frightened guys to test the waters for them, there is no need to rush.

"We have more important things to do right now," Reed pointed to everyone present. "That is to completely master your abilities. If everything is really stable and improving, then we must ensure that we are not as uncontrollable as Johnny, otherwise it will easily hurt others."

Johnny looked at Ben with lingering fear. The first time he uncontrollably combusted, he was standing next to Ben, touching his rock head. Fortunately, Ben was a stone man and nothing happened. It would have been terrible if it had been an ordinary person.

Johnny imagined himself picking up a beauty in a bar, and then driving her back to his apartment to chat, everything was going smoothly, and when the charger was connected to the phone, the charger suddenly caught fire...

Oh, never mind.

Looking at Johnny nodding vigorously, Reed felt strange, but continued: "During this time, we will stay in this underground garage. We will go search for supplies later. Ben, you are the strongest, you go find something to block the exit to prevent others from breaking in."

"Is it okay to do this?" Ben scratched his head. "Completely ignoring the life and death of others, wouldn't that be bad?"

"Don't trust human nature too much, Ben," Reed said with a serious face. "In this ruin, we can only trust each other, don't forget that we are also victims, and we don't have the energy to take care of others."

Reed's ideas have not changed. If he has the energy to spare, he doesn't mind helping people in distress, but he doesn't think he has the ability now.

You can say that his help is charity from a high position, Reed will not argue with you, it will only make him realize that you are an idiot, it is difficult to protect yourself and help others, it sounds noble, but Reed thinks it is even more idiotic.

Reed is the backbone of this team, his decision is not absolute, but everyone at least agrees in their hearts, and they are not idiots, Reed has broken down the words and chewed them up, just short of feeding them into their mouths.

If you want to save people, let's save your own life first.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

After confirming this prerequisite, the four of them began to explore in groups of two. By the way, Johnny's injuries were all healed, probably because he had turned into a Fire Man before.

...

The next morning, Reed turned on the radio, not worrying about not hearing useful information at all.

Now everything about Hyperion is big news, those hyena-like reporters will definitely bite it to death.

Sure enough, Reed turned on the radio and heard the information he wanted to know after tuning a few stations.

"According to news from frontline reporters, starting at eight o'clock this morning, guidelines related to superhuman registration have been posted in front of the Supreme Squadron's building, and a number of people who may be superhumans have also gathered in front of the building. They may all be waiting for the registration to begin."

Time passed by every minute and every second, Susan and the others also woke up one after another and gathered around the radio to listen to the information. After a few hours, they didn't hear any unfavorable news until the live broadcast ended.

"It seems that there's nothing wrong with this registration," Johnny said with a relaxed face. "Why don't we go tomorrow?"

"No!" Reed shook his head. "Wait another day."
