#188 - Awaken! The Man of Destiny?

Chapter 188: Awakening! Child of Destiny?

Song Haitang's mental strength is now very powerful, and her corresponding perception is also very strong.

She quickly sensed that there seemed to be fluctuations of unknown energy in Han Yingying's body.

At this moment, the appearance of this phenomenon made Song Haitang's heart flutter.

"This isn't a normal fever."

Hearing this, the people gathered around were all stunned.

Han Chengjie hurriedly asked, "Captain, what's wrong with Yingying?"

The captain referred to Song Haitang.

The reason for this title was everyone's unanimous agreement.

Originally, everyone called Song Haitang leader, but Song Haitang refused, and it became captain.

As for Zhao Zheng?

In everyone's mind, he was like a god!

No one dared to give him any random title.

"If I'm not mistaken, she's awakening her superpower!"

Song Haitang said.

Regarding the awakening of survivors, Teacher Shen had mentioned it to her once.

Although Teacher Shen didn't explain the symptoms of awakening in detail, Han Yingying's current situation seemed to fit the awakening of a superpower.

Hearing this, the Han family members were both surprised and delighted.

If the Han family could produce a superpowered person, it would definitely be more beneficial than harmful to their survival in the future.

Even Zhao Zheng showed a curious expression.

"Yingying is awakening her superpower?"

Han Minna was first a little surprised, then worried: "But I heard that the process of awakening a superpower is very dangerous..."

As soon as these words came out, Han Chengjun's old face immediately turned bitter, full of worry.

Song Haitang didn't know that there would be danger in the awakening process.

She immediately asked, "What danger is there?"

Han Minna first glanced at her third uncle, then gritted her teeth and said: "I heard that awakening a superpower takes a long time, at least a dozen hours of sleep. If you can wake up, then you are a superpowered person! But many people don't wake up during this process... The success rate of awakening a superpower is less than 50%!"

Han Chengjun's face suddenly turned pale.

Song Haitang thought for a while and asked, "Is there any way to increase the probability of successful awakening?"

Han Minna shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. I only know that the success rate of awakening superpowers was higher during the early days of the disaster, but it has become lower and lower since then."

Song Haitang's heart moved, and she immediately said to Han Chengjun: "Third Uncle Han, go outside and ask if anyone knows anything about this."

Hearing this, Han Chengjun immediately ran out of the RV and went outside.

He asked around outside and quickly came back dejectedly, shaking his head.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Song Haitang.

Song Haitang said: "Xiao Na said before that the success rate of awakening superpowers was higher at the beginning of the disaster, and as time went by, the success rate became lower and lower, right?"

"Yes," Han Minna said, "I heard it from others."

"This should be true," Han Wu next to him said: "Now it is rare to see newly awakened superpowered people, they are all guys who awakened before."

Song Haitang then said: "With this phenomenon, my view is that it has nothing to do with time, it should be a matter of individual physique."

"Awakening a superpower takes a long time. During this process, a lot of physical strength and energy must be consumed! If the body is weak, it will definitely not be able to hold on..."

"At the beginning of the disaster, everyone had only been hungry for a short time, and their bodies were still in good condition. They were able to withstand the consumption during awakening and persevere, so the success rate was relatively high."

"Now, ordinary survivors are almost all sallow and weak, and the little physical strength in their bodies cannot support the consumption during awakening, so the success rate will definitely decrease."

Hearing Song Haitang's analysis, everyone suddenly understood.

It seems that this is indeed the case!

However, after knowing this, everyone was even more worried.

Because Han Yingying often couldn't get enough to eat, and she ate packaged food, which contained various technologies and harsh ingredients, making her body worse and worse, with severe malnutrition.

Her arms were as thin as chopsticks, and there was no meat on her face. The nine-year-old child looked like she was seven or eight years old.

Can such a body withstand the consumption during awakening?

"Then, then what should we do?" Han Minna said anxiously: "Sister Yue, Yingying is so weak, she definitely won't be able to hold on... Do you have a way to help Yingying?"

This man, Han Chengjun, directly knelt down to Song Haitang.

"Captain, please help Yingying. As long as you are willing to take action, no matter what the result, my life, Han Lao San's life, will be sold to you."

Song Haitang frowned slightly. She didn't like this kind of scene.

"Get up first and listen to me."

Hearing this, Han Chengjun had no choice but to climb up from the ground.

"I heard you say before that the corpse crystals contain energy that can improve the body, and there are no adverse reactions to eating the corpse crystals. My idea is to feed this child a corpse crystal and try."

After a pause, Song Haitang added: "As for whether it will work, I don't know, I can only leave it to fate."

"If you agree, I will bring the corpse crystal."

The last sentence didn't need to be asked at all.

Because the little girl Han Yingying was already completely in a coma, and there was no way she could survive like this.

They could only treat a dead horse as a living horse!

In addition, everyone agreed with Song Haitang's analysis and felt that this was the best way.

So.

Han Chengjun knelt down to Song Haitang again.

After all, corpse crystals were precious, and Song Haitang was willing to take them out, which was a great kindness.

Song Haitang didn't like this, so she simply ignored Han Chengjun and went back to the bedroom to take out the corpse crystal.

However.

Then there was a new problem.

That is, the smallest corpse crystal in the bag was the size of a fingernail, and the corpse crystal was very hard under normal conditions, so it definitely couldn't be fed directly.

Because Han Yingying was already in a coma, feeding it directly might choke the child to death...

Everyone tried various methods, even using an iron hammer to smash it, but they couldn't break the corpse crystal.

For a time.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"How can it be so hard?" Han Minna said in surprise: "I remember that after I ate it, it was quickly digested, and my stomach was warm."

It seems that corpse crystals are afraid of stomach acid?

"Bring it to me and let me see," Zhao Zheng said.

Song Haitang handed the corpse crystal to Zhao Zheng.

Everyone also looked at Zhao Zheng with hopeful eyes.

And Zhao Zheng didn't hesitate. As soon as he got the corpse crystal, he directly pinched it hard...

He didn't move it!

It's really a bit hard!

Zhao Zheng pinched it again, and this time, a small white air mask appeared on his finger.

Good fellow, in order to crush the corpse crystal, he even used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability...

"Crack!"

This time it finally worked.

Under the powerful Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, the small corpse crystal was directly shattered.

It almost turned into powder!

Seeing this scene, everyone was horrified.

They had just used an iron hammer to knock it, but they couldn't knock the corpse crystal. The hardness was almost the same as a diamond.

Unexpectedly, in this man's hands, it was so easily crushed...

"What are you still standing there for?" Zhao Zheng said, "Get some water and give it to the child."

...

Soon.

The corpse crystal, ground into powder, was mixed with water and fed to Han Yingying.

After she swallowed it, everyone watched Han Yingying with concern, observing her condition.

The little girl's face was originally pale, and she was covered in a cold sweat, looking extremely weak.

Two or three minutes after eating the corpse crystal, the color in her face actually quickly returned, and the cold sweat was no longer flowing as heavily as before.

"It's working! It's working!" Han Minna exclaimed in surprise.

Han Chengjun also breathed a heavy sigh of relief, watching his daughter with a nervous expression.

Song Haitang walked over and touched the child's forehead.

It was still very hot.

"Next, you will take turns observing her condition, and call me immediately if there are any problems."

Hearing Song Haitang's words, everyone nodded.

Han Minna said, "Sister Jiuyue, I understand. You should rest!"

Song Haitang nodded and returned to the bedroom with Zhao Zheng to sleep.

Don't misunderstand, it was just purely sleeping.

Because the current conditions were too poor, water resources were precious, and they couldn't even take a bath.

The two of them hadn't showered for ten days, and they were both clean people, so how could they be in the mood for that kind of thing?

There was no way around it, the apocalyptic environment was just like that.

...

The night passed.

The next day.

After Song Haitang got up, she and Zhao Zheng washed up briefly and immediately went out to check on Han Yingying's condition.

"How is the child?" Song Haitang asked.

It could be seen that the Han family hadn't slept all night, and had been guarding the little girl.

"The situation is currently stable," Han Minna said. "But the high fever hasn't subsided."

Song Haitang walked over and touched the child's forehead, and it was indeed the case.

It seemed that awakening an ability was indeed very dangerous.

The sacred grounds of Blue Star were much better, convenient, fast, and without danger.

"Now we can only rely on her, let's continue to observe!" Song Haitang said.

Everyone nodded.

Han Chengjun stood up and said, "I'll go drive the car."

His eyes were red and bloodshot, clearly worried all night.

"Third Uncle, you haven't closed your eyes all night, let me drive!" Han Wu said.

Seeing the uncle and nephew arguing, Song Haitang said, "Stop arguing, we won't leave today, we'll rest here."

Anyway, her and Zhao Zheng's plan wasn't to travel so fast, it would be better to stay here for another day.

"This..." Han Minna whispered a reminder: "Someone just came to urge us once, asking when we would set off..."

The 'someone' she was referring to was definitely those people outside.

Song Haitang immediately frowned and said, "Go tell them that they can leave whenever they want, they don't need to wait for us."

"Yingying is at a critical moment, she can't be jostled around, we'll wait until she wakes up."

Hearing these words, Han Chengjun almost knelt down again.

What could he say, when it was for his daughter's sake?

Thus.

The convoy stayed where it was for another day.

Because Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang didn't leave, the others didn't dare to leave!

Even an idiot would know that following these two big shots would definitely be safer.

Letting them go to Hancheng on their own, it would definitely be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!

...

It wasn't until after two o'clock in the afternoon.

That Han Yingying's fever broke, and she slowly woke up.

"Yingying? You're awake? That's great!"

Seeing this, Han Minna, who was guarding by her side, immediately shouted loudly, "Third Uncle, come quickly, Yingying is awake."

Hearing this, Han Chengjun, who was checking the car chassis outside, immediately crawled out from under the car and ran towards the RV.

"Dad!"

Han Yingying called out.

Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, Han Chengjun was moved to tears and quickly rushed to his daughter's side: "Yingying, is there anything that feels uncomfortable?"

Han Yingying thought for a while, touched her stomach and said, "Dad, I'm hungry..."

Song Haitang was also alarmed and when she rushed over, she happened to hear these words, and immediately picked up a packaged bread and handed it over.

"Eat!"

"Thank you, Sister Jiuyue!"

Han Yingying thanked her politely, and then ate it in large bites.

After the little girl finished eating, Song Haitang curiously asked, "Yingying, what ability did you awaken?"

Han Yingying didn't react for a moment, and showed a puzzled expression.

Han Minna then said, "Yingying, Sister Jiuyue is asking you if you've noticed anything different about your body?"

Han Yingying was a smart child and already understood Song Haitang's meaning.

She thought for a while, raised one hand, and exerted a little force...

Instantly!

In the middle of her palm, a soft green light appeared, looking lush and verdant.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up.

It was obvious that Han Yingying had successfully awakened her ability!

However...

"What kind of ability is this?" Han Minna asked curiously.

Han Yingying didn't explain, her gaze swept around the RV, and when she saw an unknown plant that was about to wither on the shelf next to her, the little girl's eyes lit up.

She ran over, took out the plant, and then reached out her hand, pinching a yellowed leaf.

The ability activated!

Instantly!

The plant that was about to wither actually came back to life at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to grow rapidly, a vibrant scene.

Seeing such a magical scene, everyone was stunned.

Even Zhao Zheng showed a surprised expression.

"This, is this the ability that Yingying awakened? It's too amazing," Han Minna said blankly.

"My head is spinning..."

Han Yingying said, letting go of the plant and sitting on the sofa.

She looked a little weak.

"What's going on? Yingying, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Han Chengjun asked quickly.

Han Yingying thought for a while and said, "So tired, so sleepy, Dad, Yingying wants to sleep."

"It should be excessive consumption," Song Haitang said from the side. "This child just finished awakening, and she was already weak, and then she used her ability, which led to excessive consumption."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time.

Song Haitang suddenly said again, "Regarding the ability that this child has awakened, I suggest you keep it a secret! Never tell anyone."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Song Haitang said, "She can revive plants, such an ability, appearing in this apocalyptic environment, I think, I don't need to emphasize her importance anymore, right?"

"Plants occupy a very important link in the food chain!"

"When her abilities become stronger in the future, she may be able to save all the survivors!"

"Once the news spreads, all the major shelters will definitely compete for her."

"If she falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, this child is likely to be reduced to a machine for cultivating food."

Hearing these words.

Several members of the Han family were shocked!

A deep look of worry appeared in Han Chengjun's eyes.
