I’m A Wasteland Giant Chapter 53 – The Levels and Evolution of the Superpowered!

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Levels and Evolution of the Superpowered!

Arctic Circle – Command Centre of Hua Nation.

At this moment, Yao Zhenguo was worriedly looking at the report prepared by his subordinates.

Out of fifty-five military districts nationwide, three were scattered and lost complete control overnight…

Eleven military districts had suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of their troops were wiped out because they failed to find the Dawn Stone.

Only forty-one local military districts managed to keep most of their combat power, as they managed to obtain the Dawn Stone before nightfall, but the situation was still grim. The amount of Dawn Stone spreading was simply insufficient to protect the nation.

At this moment, Lu Zhou walked in again with a pile of documents.

“What’s happening now?

Yao Zhenguo had mixed feelings about Lu Zhou. Sometimes he would bring good news, but sometimes the news was not so good.

Lu Zhou didn’t care about his tone and calmly said, “The God-making plan has made some progress!

“Go on!”

Yao Zhenguo instantly perked up.

The God-making plan was initially proposed by Lu Zhou. It was about providing resources to the most talented superpowered people with the Arctic Circle’s troops to observe if humans can save themselves through evolution.

Lu Zhou nodded and began to explain with the document in hand, “In the first batch of the God-making plan volunteers, there were ten people. Eight were naturally awakened, one awakened by swallowing Red Crystal, and one by swallowing Orange Crystal…”

“In the first stage, we employed Red Crystals as the primary crystal for their cultivation. Among the ten people, eight of the naturally awakened individuals could ingest and digest the crystals the quickest, absorbing them the best. Generally, they could absorb one crystal within a minute…”

“The other two individuals who awakened by swallowing crystals had a slightly slower absorption rate, often needing approximately two minutes to absorb one crystal…”

“We discovered that every time these superpowered individuals ingested a hundred Red Crystals, their superpower would strengthen…”

“These eight naturally awakened individuals, after continuous consumption over sixteen hours and forty minutes, in total consumed a thousand Red Crystals and almost simultaneously evolved again. This time, their reactions were different…”

Lu Zhou said seriously, “This time, their bodies showed extreme non-human characteristics. An invisible oppression emanated from them, causing fear, apprehension, and even submissive emotions among all the research department personnel, including some of the awakened ones, who saw them…”

“Hence, I deduced that these eight volunteers have transitioned from quantitative change to qualitative, evolving to another level of existence…”

“A level of existence higher than ordinary humans!”

“Oh?”

Yao Zhenguo quickly asked, “What about their combat power? Did it increase?”

Lu Zhou nodded, “Among the eight volunteers, four are non-combatants. Hmm, their superpowers tend towards brain domain development… Their combat power has only been strengthened somewhat through their physical attributes, no substantial enhancement in their methods of attack…”

“However, the other four combat-type volunteers have seen significant enhancements in their combat power, essentially to the extent that they could penetrate the carapaces of the beetles…”

Yao Zhenguo nodded, feeling somewhat reassured.

“What about the other two volunteers?”

He wanted to know if the evolution was only limited to the naturally awakened ones, or if it encompassed everyone.

“The other two volunteers also consumed a significant amount of crystals in the following sixteen hours. The volunteer who swallowed the Red Crystal stopped improving his superpower and did not evolve to another level of life after consuming more than a thousand Red Crystals. In other words, he hit a bottleneck! ”

Lu Zhou continued, “The volunteer who swallowed the Orange Crystal evolved to a higher level of life without any difference from the natural awakened ones, after consuming a thousand Red Crystals…”

“However, after we provided an Orange Crystal to the volunteer who had awakened from the Red Crystal, he smoothly evolved and became a higher being! ”

Yao Zhenguo nodded, released a sigh of relief and laughed,

“So it means that as long as there are enough crystals, anyone can evolve?”

Just as his smile emerged, he saw Lu Zhou shaking his head on the other side.

“No, after the first batch of eight volunteers evolved, our research center urgently launched the second and third batches of the God-making plan…’

“To make the data more reliable, we expanded the sample… err, volunteers.

The second batch of the God-making plan had twenty people, and the third batch had fifty…”

“We conducted tests as diversified as possible this time…”

“The result we’ve got so far is that people with better talents have better effects when swallowing crystals. The resources, time, and possibility they consume to evolve to a higher level of life are better than those with poor talents!”

“One thousand Red Crystals are the minimum consumption for the best talented individuals to evolve!”

“Ordinary people, if they want to evolve, will need to pay a higher price!”

“Even worse, one of the volunteers consumed tens of thousands of crystals but didn’t come close to the edge of evolution…”

“What’s even worse is that after reaching the edge of evolution, they couldn’t even advance smoothly by swallowing Orange Crystal!”

“Huff!”

After listening to this, Yao Zhenguo couldn’t help but exhale.

He understood: this world is about to undergo major changes!

Those naturally awakened ones, those with good talents, will become stronger and stronger as time goes on. They will widen the gap with ordinary people and would eventually evolve into another species – gods!

But the good news is that it is still the early days of the apocalypse, and these people haven’t realized these facts yet, nor lost control!

“Our research department temporarily classifies the awakened individuals’ level according to the color of the crystals!”

“We refer to superpowered individuals who just awakened as Red Crystal Grade, and those who have evolved to a higher life level as Orange Crystal

Grade!”

“However, to evolve from Red Crystal Grade to Orange Crystal Grade, they must evolve nine times. So, we set up sub-grades within their main grade…”

“We temporarily refer to the newly awakened individuals as Red Crystal Rank

One. Each evolution will promote them by one rank, until Red Crystal Rank

Ten…”

“After an individual at Red Crystal Rank Ten evolves again, he becomes Orange Crystal Rank One, a level that could pose a threat to golden beetles!”

Yao Zhenguo quickly asked, “What’s the highest rank among superpowered individuals now?”

“Orange Crystal Rank Three. It’s only attainable by those few from the first batch of the God-making plan. We don’t have much Orange Crystals left…”

“What about the level above Orange Crystal? Are there any other grades?”

“Yes! Yellow Grade!”

“Yellow Grade?! ! ”

“The Western Military District killed an Egg-laying Mother Beetle yesterday and found a Yellow Crystal inside it!”

Thinking of the price Anzhong Military Zone paid to kill that mother beetle, Yao Zhenguo couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Because last night, the Western Military District used a nuclear bomb!
