Chapter 533 The Extraordinary
Chapter 533 The Extraordinary
Su Chen then asked Luo Xiaotian about the situation regarding the apocalyptic disaster.
To his disappointment, aside from the previous information, Luo Xiaotian didn't know much more than Su Chen.
"Commander Luo, that move you just made..."
Su Chen gestured with his fist and chuckled.
"How exactly did this happen?"
He agreed to negotiate with Zhao Yang in order to work for the province behind Luo Xiaotian.
It wasn't just because of concerns about the provinces and regions; on the other hand, it was also because they wanted to gain greater strength.
"Well, it's a long story."
Luo Xiaotian smiled.
"Let's start with the extraordinary individuals!"
"Extraordinary beings? What are those?"
Zhao Yang, standing to the side, asked in confusion.
"As the name suggests... it refers to people with extraordinary powers, including evolved individuals and those with supernatural abilities!"
Luo Xiaotian explained,
"Take General Zhao for example, do you consider yourself an evolved being or an esper?"
"I?"
Zhao Yang scratched his head, unsure whether to categorize himself as an evolved being or an ability user.
After all, his only skill is going berserk, so it's not really appropriate to categorize him as either the former or the latter!
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said,
"Commander Luo, from what you're saying, besides evolved beings and superhumans, there must be other people with extraordinary powers?"
"Boss Su is indeed intelligent."
Luo Xiaotian gave Su Chen an approving look.
"In fact, long before the apocalypse, there were many extraordinary people in this world!"
"Otherwise, where do you think the micro-bases came from?"
Su Chen then remembered that the purpose of establishing the Microscopic Base was to study various supernatural phenomena!
"You two must have heard of Qigong, right?"
Luo Xiaotian suddenly spoke again.
"Of course I've heard of it, but that thing... isn't it a scam?"
Su Chen frowned.
Qigong was originally a traditional Chinese method for health preservation, disease prevention, and treatment.
By regulating breathing, body, and mind, one can achieve physical fitness, disease prevention and treatment, health maintenance and longevity, and the development of potential.
However, in modern times, some self-proclaimed Qigong masters have engaged in fraudulent activities.
As a result, Qigong was immediately exposed as a scam!
"Boss Su may not know, but General Zhao should know that there is hard qigong in the army."
Luo Xiaotian looked at Zhao Yang.
"Yes."
Zhao Yang nodded.
"Many soldiers in the army practice combat techniques that include hard qigong."
"But most people's exposure to hard qigong is actually very superficial."
Luo Xiaotian continued speaking.
"Only the elite soldiers can practice true hard qigong."
"Their strength is basically the same as that of a newly initiated Evolver."
"The most powerful among them can reach the level of a beginner-level evolver!"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Luo Xiaotian.
"Commander Luo, did you practice hard qigong before the apocalypse?"
"Not bad!"
Luo Xiaotian nodded with a smile.
"Moreover, besides hard qigong, there are actually many other martial arts techniques and secret manuals!"
"Perhaps it's because of his or her qualifications, or perhaps because he or she lacks something."
"Most of the cultivation techniques and secret manuals are impossible to practice."
"Only the most basic hard qigong has managed to spread in the army!"
"But after the apocalypse... things changed!"
Zhao Yang couldn't help but say,
"What's the difference?"
"Take me for example. After the apocalypse, my hard qigong, which had stagnated for many years, suddenly made rapid progress!"
Luo Xiaotian chuckled.
"Furthermore, cultivation techniques and secret manuals that were previously impossible to practice can now be practiced!"
"That move of hitting an ox across a mountain just now is the skill I practice."
That's it!
As Su Chen realized this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).
Chinese culture is indeed profound and extensive!
Luo Xiaotian's technique is no different from that of a martial arts master in a novel.
"Commander Nara, could you teach me this?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Zhao Yang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Luo Xiaotian with anticipation.
As the saying goes, it’s always good to have many skills.
In this apocalyptic world, it's always a good idea to learn more skills and improve your abilities!
"This is confidential, and I cannot disclose it."
Luo Xiaotian said earnestly,
"However, if you want to learn, there are ways."
"May I ask, Commander Luo, what is your plan?"
Su Chen asked.
"As I said before, I hope you, Boss Su, will do things for the province."
"As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the province, you can receive a reward."
"Besides my technique of striking from a distance, there are actually many other more profound martial arts techniques and secret manuals."
"Among them are cultivation techniques that can enhance strength without absorbing energy!"
Luo Xiaotian's words surprised Su Chen and Zhao Yang once again!
To know.
Since the apocalypse, there are only three paths to improve one's strength and realm.
They either kill zombies and other superhumans to obtain energy crystals.
Either find the Energy Fruit.
Either hunt monsters to obtain energy cores.
There was no other way.
But now, Luo Xiaotian actually said there is a fourth way: to improve strength through cultivation.
If that were really the case, then there would be no need for superhumans to fight each other!
"I cannot give you more detailed information."
"You will naturally find out once you have made great contributions and are sent to the provinces."
Su Chen nodded slightly, feeling a sense of anticipation.
Then, as if remembering something, he asked again.
"Is there anything in the province or region that needs our assistance?"
Provinces and regions represent the official authorities, and there are also cultivation techniques and secret manuals that can improve one's strength through practice.
Their power is naturally immense, so they shouldn't need Su Chen and his group to do anything!
"Boss Su, you don't know, the current world situation... is extremely complicated!"
Luo Xiaotian sighed and explained with a wry smile.
After being ravaged by apocalyptic natural disasters, the world order completely collapsed.
You should know that it's quite easy to cause damage.
But rebuilding would be extremely difficult!
In the past, in addition to the three major survivor groups—the Fierce Tiger Gang, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and the Iron Shield Alliance—there were countless other smaller survivor groups in Shannan City.
If the situation is so complicated in just a small city like Shannan, imagine how complicated it is in other provinces and cities!
Against the backdrop of chaos, the desires and darkness within the human heart expand infinitely!
Many people are unwilling to return to order and prefer to live in chaos!
Moreover, internal chaos has also emerged within the official organization.
This makes the situation even more complicated!
Various factions fought and killed each other in a struggle for power and resources!
Shannan, Xinlu, and Hsinchu all belong to the Central Taiwan Province.
In Yucheng, the capital of Zhongqi Province, there are more than a dozen self-proclaimed official forces!
After paying a heavy price, Luo Xiaotian's faction finally integrated with other factions.
So they sent out a lot of people to contact military forces like Zhao Yang and Lin Yuxin.
