Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 17 Catastrophic Awakening
Sitting on the sofa, Qiu Tu opened the cloth bag.

The first thing that caught my eye was a document that was as thin as only two pages.

He put the information aside first and then checked other things in the bag.

1 Aurora Stone, 3 small goldfish and 12 silver coins. This was all given to Yan Ai by Qiu Tu yesterday, and now it can be regarded as returning to its original owner.

Satisfied, Qiu Tu picked up the information he had put aside and read it.

There is not much information, and it is very simple and rough, but it is enough for Qiu Tu to get a glimpse of the extraordinary power of this world.
However, the more he read the information, the more Qiu Tu frowned. When he finally put down the information, his face was serious enough to drip.

'If this information is true, then I have encountered the worst possibility.'

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu also recalled the contents of this information:
According to the records, thirty years after the disaster, the entire world became unrecognizable. A strange and mysterious force quietly awakens, reshaping the context of the world and the shape of life.

Among them, the most chilling thing is that the creatures in nature have begun to undergo unusual changes:
For example, the wall-crawler began to expand and twist inexplicably, becoming as thick as a water pipe in an abandoned city;
The most common weeds on the roadside were normal during the day, but under the moonlight they were as sharp as knives, exuding a cold edge;

Those ants that were so tiny that ordinary people couldn't detect them are now as big as giant dogs in the dark night, wandering among the ruins and roaring like a nightmare.
At that time, human beings were trapped in the struggle of life and death and had no time to take care of these abnormal life phenomena.

It wasn't until 15 years ago that the first shelter stood tall, and human elites from all walks of life gradually gathered here, and gradually embarked on a journey to explore the outside world, only to be shocked to find that the world had fallen into an even more bizarre situation.

Not only have the strength, speed, intelligence and aggressiveness of those aberrant animals and plants been significantly improved, some individuals have even gained incredible abilities.
Human beings speculate that all this is due to that unprecedented cataclysm, so they call this incredible phenomenon "Catastrophe Awakening".

However, what is puzzling is that [catastrophic awakening] has occurred in biological groups all over the world. But only humans have not changed at all.

Therefore, surrounding this phenomenon, two kinds of speculations gradually emerged within human beings.

First, humans may be awakening, but the life cycle is too long and the ability to reproduce is too weak, so it will take several more generations before new humans with mysterious powers will naturally be born.

Second, the level of human life is already very high, and even a catastrophe cannot fully awaken humanity. Therefore, only by actively stealing the alienated power from other creatures can humans truly realize their own awakening.

These two speculations continued to quarrel during the development of the sanctuary.

It was not until 8 years ago that a [Pharmacist] accidentally prepared a [Catastrophic Potion] and successfully gave the experimenter some strange power, which temporarily stopped this debate.

With the birth of [Catastrophic Potion], the value of [Catastrophic Materials] in various mutated creatures has also begun to rise, and professions such as [Pharmacist] have also begun to rise rapidly.
If the information was only recorded here, Qiu Tu's brows might not be so furrowed.

What really troubled him was the second half of the information.

According to the records in the data: After using the cataclysmic potion, humans cannot 100% obtain the mysterious power. On the contrary, the probability of failure is as high as 80% or more.

Once it fails, the person who takes the potion will undergo irreversible catastrophic mutation and become a monster with no intelligence but astonishing destructive power.

And even if you are lucky enough to be among the lucky few, the direction of [Catastrophe Awakening] is not fixed, but varies from person to person.

This means that except for the moment of awakening, no one can predict which unknown road they will go further and further...

'It's so fucked. I originally thought that I could change my destiny with extraordinary power. ''As a result, not only is the probability of success low, but the extraordinary power of this world is still a bit weird. '

'Who knows if this power will have any side effects? '

While thinking this, Qiu Tu took out a match from his pocket.

"Crack!" Accompanied by the sound of a match striking, a weak flame ignited the two thin documents.

Watching the information burn into ashes bit by bit in the beating flames, Qiu Tu also silently pondered.
'Now the way to solve the crisis by relying on extraordinary power is temporarily unavailable. "

"Yan Ai probably possesses some kind of weird extraordinary power. Escape without a plan is equivalent to death."

'So, it seems that I have to go to Qin's house for a visit in the end.'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's eyes were a little deep,

'However, it just so happens that we can take the opportunity to interrogate the young pharmacist. '

'Maybe the information I got from her will be different? '

After a moment, the information was burned out, Qiu Tu stamped out the last spark, glanced at the treasure box in the upper left corner with only more than 8 hours remaining, and then got up to find Qin Shuman.
There is not much time left for him.
[8:27:39 (treasure box)]

Following the maid, Qiu Tu climbed two flights of winding stairs and turned two deep corridors before arriving at the door of Qin Shuman's boudoir.

Arriving at the door of Qin Shuman's boudoir, the maid took a step forward and knocked gently on the door.

The next second, Qin Shuman's voice as sweet as a nightingale came from inside, "Please come in."

Opening the door, the two walked in and saw Qin Shuman wearing a pink slit cheongsam, sitting by the window, drinking tea and looking out the window with melancholy eyes, like a golden girl who only yearned for freedom. bird.

"Ms. Shuman, Agent Qiu is looking for you." The maid said softly with a slight salute to Qin Shuman's back.

Hearing the maid's words, Qin Shuman, who was still holding the tea, quickly put down the tea cup and turned around in surprise, with unconcealed joy in his eyes, "Agent Qiu Qiu, are you here?"

Because there was an outsider, Qiu Tu didn't show too much intimacy. He just smiled and nodded, "Yes, Miss Schumann, I have something important to discuss with you."

After saying that, he gave Qin Shuman a wink.

Qin Shuman understood instantly. She stood up gracefully, and then said reservedly to the maid at the door, "You go down first, and Agent Qiu and I will have a private chat."

"Yes, Miss Schumann." Upon hearing this, the maid bowed slightly, then turned and left the bedroom, but when she left the door, she deliberately left the door ajar.

Qiu Tu looked back and said nothing. He made a gesture towards Qin Shuman, and then walked to Qin Shuman's side.
As soon as he arrived at Qin Shuman's side, what hit him was Qin Shuman's light body fragrance, as elegant as cherry blossoms in early spring.
