MM Racing Chapter 38 Breakthrough in Superpowers
Chapter 38 Breakthrough in Superpowers
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gao Yuan and Zhao Yongqiang carried over a large black garbage bag containing several large pieces of pork that had begun to become sticky and smelly.
When the elite zombie saw the pork, a distinct glint flashed in its dark yellow eyes.
It squatted down, stretched out its large, grayish-blue hand, grabbed a piece of pork, and stuffed it into its mouth.
It swallowed the food without chewing it much, then the second piece, then the third. Its eating style was direct and efficient, like that of a wild beast.
As the food entered its stomach, a red glow gradually appeared on its body again.
The red light covered the dense wounds, and tiny wisps of flesh began to wriggle along the edges of each wound.
Shallow wounds heal and scab over at a visible speed, while deep wounds show signs of regeneration and filling of the surrounding flesh and blood tissue little by little under red light.
This scene left everyone speechless.
Previously, during the battle, the elite zombies demonstrated a regenerative ability far exceeding that of ordinary zombies, but in the heat of battle, no one had time to look closely.
Observing this almost supernatural self-healing ability up close now is even more awe-inspiring than during combat.
After the initial shock came the excitement.
The stronger the elite zombies are, the more advantageous it is for them.
"Alright, it's all over."
Lu Chen clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention away from the elite zombies. "Everyone, let's go back and rest!"
He took the lead and walked up the stairs, followed by 8 zombies. One elite zombie occupied 3 control slots, and now 8 zombies was the maximum he could control.
After returning to the 5th floor, he rearranged the 8 zombies to the balcony, the connecting bridge, and the windows, allowing them to continue absorbing the red moon.
On one hand, it was to recover from the injuries, and on the other hand, it was to continue to increase their strength.
Gao Yuan and the others were not idle either. They sent the reserve zombies back to the 4th floor and locked them up one by one.
By the time everything was settled, it was already 1 a.m.
Normally, everyone should be resting by now. But after just experiencing such a life-or-death battle, who could truly fall asleep?
Seeing this, Lu Chen simply went to find Sun Xiulan.
"Sister Sun, everyone's exhausted after all that work. Why don't you make some late-night snacks, especially for the field crew who helped out? Make sure to get them plenty of meat."
Although the battle lasted only a short time, the field crew went back and forth between the 4th and 3rd floors, dragging down the zombies that weighed hundreds of pounds one by one. They also had to carry equipment such as helmets, scarves, and knives. They were busy going up and down, and everyone was sweating a lot.
After he finished speaking, he instructed Gao Yuan, "Those who contribute tonight, remember to record their contribution points."
"I've observed that Ning Tieshan and Zhao Yongqiang have contributed the most and are also very brave. While the elite zombies were fighting downstairs, they were dragging the zombies without slowing down at all. I plan to focus on training them, and you should increase their compensation accordingly."
"No problem." Gao Yuan immediately took out his notebook, which was already curled at the edges, and quickly wrote a few lines on it.
Soon, Sister Sun brought out the late-night snack: several steaming bowls of noodles made from dried noodles she had scavenged from various rooms that day, along with slices of ham sausage and leftover braised pork broth from yesterday.
Although simple, the food emitted white steam at 1 a.m., and the aroma wafted far down the corridor, attracting several people who had already lain down to sit up.
Lu Chen took his bowl, finished it in a few bites, put the empty bowl aside, and got up to go back to 501.
He lay down again on the balcony to rest, allowing his body to automatically absorb the red moon's energy for cultivation.
……
5am!
The sky was beginning to turn a very faint grayish-white, and the red moon's light was dimmer than it had been late at night.
After several hours of sleep, Lu Chen's mental energy finally recovered.
He naturally came to his senses and checked the time.
"5 a.m.? Just as I expected, I can still do one more accelerated training session."
He closed his eyes, concentrated his mental energy, and began to draw upon the energy within the red moon.
During this cultivation session, Lu Chen felt that the bottleneck was becoming more and more obvious. Before, he could only vaguely sense a certain boundary.
Things are different now. You can clearly feel that a bottleneck is looming in front of him, as clear as a wall.
This feeling reached its peak, especially after practicing for half an hour.
At this moment, his superpowers were already filling his body, and he even felt a slight overflow, but the bottleneck was stuck there, causing the overflowing energy to swirl around inside his body without finding any outlet.
He could clearly sense that as long as he broke through this bottleneck, his superpowers would improve.
Lu Chen had no experience in how to break through bottlenecks.
In the entire city of Wanshun, and even in the entire country, there are probably very few people with superpowers who have reached the point where they need to break through their bottlenecks.
There was no prior experience to refer to, no guides to consult, and not even a simple hint.
He could only try and figure it out by trial and error.
Based on his intuition, he directly used his supernatural ability to crash into the bottleneck.
That energy within my body, like a fist brimming with power, slammed solidly into that unseen wall.
At the moment of impact, Lu Chen felt his entire chest cavity vibrate, not physically, but as an energy-level echo.
Then a very subtle feedback came back from the wall—a feeling of loosening.
It will work! This is the right direction.
Lu Chen immediately withdrew his superpower, gathered his strength, and rammed into it again.
The second impact loosened the area more than the first.
The 3rd time, the 4th time—
However, problems also arise, as each breakthrough requires a large amount of supernatural power.
After several repetitions, the supernatural power within his body began to decline at a visible rate.
Under these circumstances, Lu Chen could only try to break through the bottleneck while absorbing energy from the red moon to replenish himself.
Under normal circumstances, the rate of replenishment cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.
This is where the wonders of mental power come into play.
With the aid of spiritual power to accelerate the process, the absorption and recovery speed of the Red Moon's energy is 10 times faster than normal.
Although the energy expenditure was still significant when breaking through the bottleneck, he seemed to be handling it with relative ease thanks to the 10x recovery speed.
And so, under wave after wave of impact, the bottleneck began to loosen.
During the 10th impact, fine cracks began to appear on the wall formed by the bottleneck.
By the 20th round, cracks had spread across the entire wall.
Finally, a quarter of an hour later.
Lu Chen charged his superpower to its limit, channeling all his energy into a single force, and then smashed it into the bottleneck with all his might.
At the moment of impact, he heard a faint cracking sound.
The invisible wall that had been blocking their way finally gave way after withstanding dozens of impacts and broke open.
The bottleneck that had been blocking our way has disappeared.
At this moment, Lu Chen could clearly feel a special change occurring in his body.
The moment the bottleneck was broken, it felt as if a door that had never been opened before was pushed open inside the body, behind which was a larger space, a wider passage, and a higher ceiling.
The body rapidly absorbs the energy of the red moon, undergoing a kind of transformation.
The feeling was wonderful; it wasn't pain, nor was it tingling or numbness, but rather a sense of fullness that surged from the depths of the cells. Every inch of skin, every muscle, every bone was being permeated and reshaped by some kind of energy.
This transformation didn't take long, probably because his mental strength accelerated the absorption of the red moon's energy. The entire transformation process progressed exceptionally quickly, lasting only 10 minutes.
After it was over, Lu Chen couldn't wait to start observing his own condition.
