Xiao Qiang saw the video the woman handed him. Without a word, he rushed forward, regardless of whether the item was real or fake, and handed it directly to the supervisor with a fawning expression.
"Yes, yes, supervisor, I accidentally lost it. How dare I not work?"
The supervisor looked at the USB drive in the man's hand with suspicion. Although he still didn't quite believe it, he waved his hand, signaling the man to play the video about Su Xiao.
The man, with a nervous heart, trembled as he prepared to play the video. As he passed by the woman, her calm smile made Xiao Qiang temporarily cease his suspicion.
As soon as the video started playing, whether it was the supervisor or the passing colleagues, they were all gradually drawn in by Su Xiao's skills.
Unlike the harmonious atmosphere with Xu An, perhaps because no one was willing to team up with Su Xiao after the Silver Wolf incident, Su Xiao was always alone.
She was like a lone wolf walking in the wilderness.
After a brief look at the video, the supervisor immediately told the woman and Xiao Qiang.
"Now, the two of you don't have to do anything else. Just be responsible for editing videos of Su Xiao. Don't release them on a large scale yet, start with a small release to test the waters."
Seeing this, the woman's lips curved into a smile of determination. She knew that investing in Su Xiao would not be a loss.
Others might not know, but as the sole viewer of Su Xiao's livestream, no one understood how Su Xiao had come this far better than the woman.
No one knew better than her how terrifyingly fast Su Xiao's strength was constantly improving.
Meanwhile, Xu An knew nothing of this. She looked at the points that had been credited to her wristband.
"That bear was exchanged for 45 points," Zhou Haimei said, walking towards Xu An with her rice bowl.
Xu An nodded. "Hold onto it for now. We'll split it when we get out."
Zhou Haimei nodded and agreed.
Sometimes, the points for monsters they killed together would be awarded to the person who delivered the final blow.
Basically, whoever landed the last hit would have the points credited to their account.
However, unlike other teams who would immediately divide the points, there were no such issues with Xu An.
Even though Li Cheng and Li Xin insisted on not taking Xu An's points, Xu An had promised to divide them equally, and she would.
At this moment, as the contestants ventured deeper, they gradually began to converge.
This was why Xu An had initially set up the camp so far away; it was because beasts could be guarded against, but human hearts were the hardest to defend.
Not far from Xu An, in a deep pit, a man covered in dirt held his last dagger, looking at several well-dressed individuals before him.
"You, you can't kill me. My father is a high-ranking official at the Lighthouse. I warn you, if you can protect me and ensure my safe return, the rewards the Lighthouse can offer you, I can also have my father give to you."
However, the several burly men standing in front of the man did not take the words of the man cowering on the ground to heart.
"Go out?" the man asked with an evil grin. "Waiting to go out and have your entire family put on the wanted list by the Lighthouse? We're not that foolish."
The next second, a flame about half a person's height suddenly erupted from behind the man.
In the next second, the inferno submerged the kneeling man in flames. The man was engulfed by the giant tongues of fire.
Beside the man who had spoken was a man who looked like his subordinate.
"Boss, your fire ability has improved again. It seems the championship this time is yours!" the henchman constantly flattered him.
Although this man was not good-looking and had an arrogant demeanor, the ability to casually conjure a ball of flame shocked everyone.
The crowd watching on the screen was finally in an uproar.
"Holy crap, holy crap, what am I seeing!"
"Mom, I've made it! I'm actually seeing superpowers in my lifetime!"
"No, wake up, upstairs. Isn't this just a magic trick? Do superpowers really exist in this world? Stop joking!"
More and more people were commenting and starting a mockery.
Especially when everyone realized that this was not a magic trick at all, but the superpower displayed by the tall and burly man in the video, and many videos and content began to leak out.
"Damn, so will we also evolve superpowers? This is the first superpower I've seen. This person is definitely going to be the champion!"
Amidst countless弹幕, a user named "Bu Chi Tu Tu" suddenly posted a message in the vast stream of comments.
"What's so special about superpowers? All species in the world are evolving, only humans evolve the slowest, it's only a matter of time."
However, this comment did not attract much attention. On the contrary, except for a few sharp-eyed trolls who directly argued with "Bu Chi Tu Tu," it disappeared without a trace.
Inside the camera.
Under the instigation of his companions, the man with yellow hair casually used his abilities to deal with the surrounding mechanics and small monsters.
At this time, the participants in the arena did not know that the matter of superpowers, which they had painstakingly kept hidden for so long, had been ruined by a few people who had appeared out of nowhere.
The man's name was Liu Xing.
He had also accidentally obtained his superpower not long ago.
However, Liu Xing's superpower was different from Xu An and Zhou Haimei's.
Liu Xing's superpower was not due to natural evolution, but an equivalent exchange that came at the cost of burning his lifespan.
It was a type of man-made weapon.
No.
Or rather, it was almost a man-made killing intent.
And Liu Xing was one of the first test subjects of this experiment.
As Liu Xing's superpower was exposed to the public, the true intentions behind the competition organized by the Lighthouse also gradually revealed themselves.
After watching the live broadcast for nearly a week, the crowd had never seen the broadcast paused before.
The live broadcast screen in front of everyone changed to a man in a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses.
If Xu An were here, she would realize that the man appearing before everyone was none other than Xia Jin, who had been silent for a long time.
"Hello everyone. As the person in charge of Rebirth Technology, I must bring you good news."
"For the past four years, humanity has suffered from attacks by zombies and beasts. Our living space has continuously shrunk, forcing us to retreat further and further.
"Until today, we have been forced to abandon the yellow earth where we have lived for thousands of years and are forced to struggle for survival in the sky. I believe that if given a chance, everyone would want to become stronger."
