Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

With the arrival of the third batch of awakened individuals, she no longer confined herself to waiting in place, but actively went out to search. As long as the awakened individuals were no more than a kilometer away from her, her bio-electric radar could directly locate the target, which was similar to Qin Kexin's mental communication.

Unfortunately... they couldn't find the Raven Squad that Wang Yuxin had mentioned before... Turning her head to look at the group of people enjoying themselves, Gu Cheng put her head close to her knees and sighed for a long time.

If they all treat people with this unguarded attitude, they will definitely suffer a great loss when they encounter those lunatics.

Section 415, Chapter 407: Synchronization Copying

Sitting for too long is not good for blood circulation, so Su Wanxi loosened her arms and let her long, shapely legs straighten naturally.

About two or three meters away from her, Qin Kexin was already fast asleep. Her two fair and delicate arms were tucked into her sleeping bag, and her pert eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing. Her overall sleeping posture resembled that of a little rabbit who was extremely afraid of the cold and had to curl up.

Su Wanxi stared at her for a while, then quickly looked away with envy.

Exhausted and mentally foggy, Su Wanxi had been in a constant state of tension ever since she entered the crevice, unable to fall asleep and afraid to do so.

She unscrewed the lid, brought her pink lips close, and took a small sip. Instead of drinking it directly, she warmed the water on the tip of her tongue.

It's early winter, and the nighttime temperature is very low. Drinking it directly can easily upset your stomach. The cool liquid left in your mouth can actually stimulate your mind and dispel some of your drowsiness.

"I'd rather you take good care of yourself than look for me."

After a day of searching, Su Wanxi was basically certain that Gu Cheng was not on the island; she might have been swept away by spatial turbulence to some place on the mainland or in the ocean.

Thinking of the second scenario, Su Wanxi unconsciously frowned. Neither lightning manipulation nor concept erasure could help Gu Cheng cross the ocean; all the latter could rely on was the life jacket uniformly provided by the military.

After a long silence, the woman tossed her hair and lightly spat out, "What am I thinking..."

Gu Cheng is no ordinary person. Her physical abilities alone are enough to overpower most awakened individuals. Even if she were unlucky enough to fall into the water, she should be able to swim to shore by now.

Stop worrying about things that aren't your concern.

After comforting herself for a while, Su Wanxi rubbed the corner of her eye, her smooth, white neck making a slight sound from the movement.

The fire still burned outside the tent, and the howling wind sounded like the wailing of evil spirits.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Wanxi suddenly noticed a unique fragrance in front of her. It was elegant and sweet, somewhat similar to lavender at first, but upon closer inspection, it resembled the citrus scent of Gu Cheng, accompanied by a comforting aroma that helped her fall asleep.

Why is this place...? Su Wanxi suddenly regained her senses, her delicate hands gripping the pistol tightly.

The fragrance gradually faded, replaced by a soothing piano piece. My head grew heavy, and my eyelids felt incredibly heavy. This peculiar music seemed to possess a certain magic, capable of enticing people to become lost in its melodies.

Su Wanxi forced herself to walk to Qin Kexin's side, put her hand on the girl's shoulder and gently shook her.

"Qin Kexin?"

Opening her spiritual vision, she saw the space filled with golden ripples, and Qin Kexin was fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Su Wanxi had no choice but to steel herself and squeeze her arm tightly.

"Ooh-ee!"

Feeling a pain in her right arm, Qin Kexin's delicate body trembled. The words that were about to come out of her throat were stopped by a slender white hand. Su Wanxi raised her index finger to signal the other to be quiet, and her pink lips parted slightly.

"Mental communication".

Seeing Su Wanxi's serious expression, Qin Kexin immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly turned on the communication channel.

"What's wrong, Sister Xi?"

"Did you hear that?" Su Wanxi pulled out a magazine to check the number of bullets, her dark eyes reflecting the scattered sparks.

Qin Kexin nodded as she put on her coat: "Hmm...it's very familiar jazz music..."

Jazz? A faint doubt surfaced in Su Wanxi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Different hypnosis methods are available for different groups of people, including B-level supernatural abilities and lullabies.

On the high platform of the shelter, Wu Shaoqiu lit a cigarette and slowly gazed at the brightly lit camp below.

His supernatural ability, "Synchronization Copy," allows him, as an S-rank Awakened, to copy the target's abilities as long as the target is within 100 meters. Even his original B-rank "Lullaby" was upgraded to A-rank by his mental power amplification.

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, all the survivors have fallen asleep. Wu Shaoqiu took a deep drag of his cigarette and used the mental communication system he had copied from Qin Kexin to connect with the other Crow Cult members.

"Operation begins. Eliminate everyone except those on the list."

Before another commander landed, he was the only S-rank here, possessing absolute strength and authority.

......

"Qin Kexin, can you connect to other communication channels?"

At the same time, Su Wanxi stood at the entrance of the tent, holding a black Type 95 assault rifle in her hand. Her hair was tied up, and her expression was cold and firm.

“No, no one is responding, and something even more powerful is blocking my communication network.” Qin Kexin bent over to put on her military boots, her pretty face slightly flushed. “But thankfully, one-way communication is not currently blocked.”

To be able to do this... it must be Wu Shaoqiu... Now, Su Wanxi can only assess the situation based on the worst-case scenario.

"Follow my instructions and prioritize protecting your own lives."

A+ level gravity manipulation is no match for S-level Awakener Wu Shaoqiu; they must awaken as many other Awakeners as possible.

The tent flap was opened, and the men on night watch by the campfire were all fast asleep. Qin Kexin increased her energy transmission, trying to wake them up on a mental level. Su Wanxi, holding a gun, looked around warily, not daring to miss any clues.

The wind rustled through the treetops, and a faint smell of blood drifted into the air.

"If we can't wake them up mentally, we'll resort to physical means," Su Wanxi said coldly, while simultaneously slamming the unconscious man's thigh hard with the butt of her gun.

Captain Su, who hadn't been seen for a long time, was back online, and Qin Kexin obediently followed his instructions.

"As expected of the eldest daughter of the Su family, a rising star in the supernatural world, a genius awakener who advanced to A-level at the age of twenty-three."

A thunderbolt struck her heart, and Su Wanxi felt a chill run through her limbs. Her index finger, which was close to the trigger, froze in place.

Qin Kexin needs her consent to establish a mental communication connection, but Wu Shaoqiu's copied mental communication can directly break through the barriers to transmit information. This means that in addition to copying, the other party can also enhance the original ability to some extent.

A familiar power surge emanated from behind her. Su Wanxi turned around and looked up at the sky. A black-haired man was walking on the wind, with a gray-black vulture perched on his shoulder.

A replica of gravity manipulation.

Wu Shaoqiu looked at the two tiny figures on the ground, his lips curving upwards into a confident smile.

"Put down your weapons and live."

"To resist to the bitter end is to die."

"As fellow high-level awakened beings, I'll give you and Miss Qin a chance to choose."

Gravity manipulation can help the crow cross the ocean, and the mental channel is the key to communicating with each other within the rift. Wu Shaoqiu couldn't bear to kill such useful tools.

Su Wanxi glanced at the tent on her right side, stained red with liquid, the hot blood trickling down her trachea, her eyes clear and calm.

She suppressed the force of gravity, raised her Type 95 rifle to aim, and made her stance clear with a gunshot.

Chapter 408, Section 416: The Advantage Lies With Me

As the gunshot rang out, Su Wanxi suddenly realized why Wu Shaoqiu hadn't killed Qin Kexin, the first person he met.

The S-rank strength of "Synchronization Copy" is extremely difficult to utilize when there is a scarcity of ability users. He needs to use mental communication to summon survivors in order to obtain more supernatural abilities that he can use at his disposal.

If Qin Kexin is the bait placed in the river, then the assembled team of handlers is the fish.

Wu Shaoqiu showed no signs of fatigue even while using three abilities simultaneously: lullaby, mental communication, and gravity manipulation. Su Wanxi bit her cherry lips, knowing that the upcoming battle was likely to end badly.

"Qin Kexin, do everything you can to ensure that the public channel is not breached by Wu Shaoqiu. That is the key to awakening the other awakened ones."

Su Wanxi did not believe that Wu Shaoqiu could maintain a high level of suppression over Qin Kexin in the battle with her. Every time a survivor was awakened, the scales of victory would tip more in their favor.

Seeing that the woman stood still and did not fire a second shot, Wu Shaoqiu's lips curled up slightly. He swung his arm to create a gravity field a hundred times stronger, and rolled over the camp from left to right.

In an instant, dust rose up, countless makeshift tents collapsed under the pressure, and the awakened ones, who were deep in sleep, had no time to react before their internal organs were torn apart and they passed away forever. Drops of blood stained the earth like blooming red plum blossoms.

"Ms. Su, it's all thanks to your convenient abilities."

Wu Shaoqiu's voice was calm, as if he had just done something insignificant. Su Wanxi's breathing became erratic for a moment upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her balance, her eyes cold and icy.

"Killing so many people, you won't have many options left."

With a light push off the ground from her boots, Su Wanxi charged toward Wu Shaoqiu like an arrow released from a bow. Her delicate hand shifted, and a gleaming military dagger fell into her palm.

As the original user of gravity manipulation, Su Wanxi was well aware of its strengths and weaknesses. Long-range shots could not break through the force field defense, and all bullets would embed themselves in the ground before hitting the target.

The current strategy is to find variables in close combat.

"You are no match for me in close combat."

Wu Shaoqiu casually tossed out a sentence, then moved with superhuman speed, appearing behind Su Wanxi in the blink of an eye. His pure black tactical military boots kicked the woman hard in the back, the action forceful and showing no mercy whatsoever.

Hearing a crisp sound of air being cut, Su Wanxi immediately realized that her move had missed. She then used her flexibility to dodge the attack, and with a flick of her wrist, she plunged the knife into Wu Shaoqiu's eye.

"Click".

The dagger stopped at the man's face, unable to advance an inch. The air condensed into a transparent glass, firmly wedging the tip of the blade, and the dense cracks were making a creaking sound.

Another ability.

In mid-air, Wu Shaoqiu turned his head to look at Su Wanxi, his eyes widening suddenly, as if a flame was burning in his pupils.

Sensing the rising temperature around her, Su Wanxi increased her mental energy output, and her delicate body was pulled towards the ground by a force.

Flames rose, and a massive fire dragon, as large as a mountain, tore through the sky. It opened its jaws and spewed fiery breath in all directions. The scorching light that followed burned the night sky crimson and also illuminated the woman's pale face.

The two completely different forces of rising and falling changed too quickly. Even a strong awakened person would find it difficult to withstand the backlash. Su Wanxi's internal organs felt as if they were out of place, and she felt a slight pain with each movement.

However, compared to being burned to ashes by flames, this level of injury is really not that serious.

"Su Wanxi, I have met your father..." The fire dragon dissipated, and several miniature suns lit up around Wu Shaoqiu, their scorching light enveloping his body.

"I thought you would be as smart as him, knowing that a wise person knows when to yield."

Wu Shaoqiu did not intend to kill Su Wanxi directly, as her gravity manipulation was crucial to the subsequent actions.

Therefore, he would try to be as gentle as possible and spare the other person's life.

Su Wanxi placed one hand on her chest, raised her face and stared at Wu Shaoqiu. The small hair tie that she used to tie her hair off during the fight had come loose, and her long, black hair was quietly scattered over her shoulders.

After a brief exchange, she finally found a glimmer of hope to defeat Wu Shaoqiu.

Unlike Gu Chengyan or Mr. Liu, who are genuine S-level awakened individuals, Wu Shaoqiu needs the assistance of other awakened individuals to unleash combat power far exceeding that of A-level. If judged solely on individual abilities, Wu Shaoqiu is at most only A-level in strength.

Everyone is A-level, so there's no reason for Wu Shaoqiu to be stronger than those Awakened Ones who possess abilities. It's like he can replicate gravity manipulation but can't use it as freely as Su Wanxi, let alone construct small black holes and gravitational tides.
