Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The evolution wave swept across the entire planet; no one could escape it.

Shen Chengyi had no intention of escaping; furthermore, she hoped Shen Yao and the other two would focus their energy on improving their own strength, just like her.

"In just one year, who could have imagined such great changes would happen here?"

"Yeah, a shelter so full of technology, built in just one year—the effort the Official put in is easy to imagine."

"Next, do we still need to focus on ability enhancement? Technological progress relies on those crystal cores, but the main purpose of crystal cores is to enhance abilities."

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning wore ability user clothing provided by the Official; behind them was the vehicle Shen Chengyu had bought earlier for transportation. This car was also very sturdy, and after using it for a year, there was nothing wrong with it.

The two had just returned from outside; their official mission had been completed very well. They not only received generous remuneration but also got a certain period of rest.

Their clothing was somewhat dirty, with small scratches and marks at the cuffs and collars. These were evidence left by mutated plants, not damage they had actively caused to exchange for newer clothing.

The people queuing in front gradually decreased. Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning got into the car one after another. The rumbling mechanical noise drowned out the surrounding speech and also drew the envy of others.

The stability of the New Shelter marked the end of chaos, and the crowd officially entered a new era.

The distinction between ordinary people and ability users became more obvious. If, back at the Old Shelter, some people refused to become ability users for various reasons, then at the New Shelter, these ideas no longer existed as dangers increased day by day.

Even the Official urgently needed more ability users to maintain stability.

Therefore, the number of ability users at the New Shelter entered an explosive period. The number of ordinary people decreased more and more. Except for children, the elderly, and ordinary people who truly could not awaken, everyone else was an ability user.

Because the number of ability users increased, special points gradually replaced points, becoming the mainstream means of transaction within the New Shelter.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had already been ability users before coming over, so the various changes at the New Shelter had no effect on them. On the contrary, because of these changes, their lives were promoted instead. At least ability users lived very comfortably.

"Parking inspection."

The staff member in front pointed to the silver-white gate beside them, gesturing for them to get out of the car for a full-body inspection.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning were very cooperative, and at the same time did not forget to sell the loot they had brought back along the way and placed on the back seat of the car to the Official.

The staff member was obviously very familiar with this process. Especially Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning—they were not as famous as Shen Chengyi, a big celebrity of the shelter, but they were also somewhat well-known celebrities.

"These mutated seeds and stems and leaves have different prices. Seeds are more expensive: ten special points per seed. Stems and leaves are priced by weight: six special points per jin."

After hearing this, Shen Chengyu touched her chin. The prices given by the Official were fair. The seeds and stems and leaves they brought back this time were just picked up casually. "Sell them."

The staff member nodded, then quickly transferred the special points into Shen Chengning's identity proof. That silver small card had long since changed, containing many high-tech technologies. Even if the Official tried, it would be very difficult to break the program set inside the card.

This was a technology the Official had taken out in advance to maintain stability in the shelter. It greatly avoided the possibility of personal items being lost and also eliminated lowly methods such as petty theft or murder and robbery.

But there were indeed people who did not want to rely on labor to obtain things, and there were still ways to take shortcuts.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning got back in the car and left. This time they went nowhere, but first returned home. As for the Mission Center? They submitted through the app on the communication device. Official missions had a special camera function; as long as the uploaded images were not lost or blurry, there was no need to go to the Mission Center again.

This was considered a small welfare for official ability users. If they were civilian ability users or wild ability users, not going to the Mission Center meant they couldn't get missions at all. Similarly, even if they could solve missions, they couldn't get special points.

As the number of ability users in the shelter increased, the Official planned the camps of ability users. Official and unofficial were two situations. In other words, having a status would make life more convenient.

This led to the fact that whether civilian ability users or wild ability users, after understanding the difference between the two, would urgently want to join the Official. And the Official had passed the stage where anyone could enter. They began to have the qualification to actively choose people, and unsuitable ones were all refused.

With two beeps, Shen Chengning took out her communication device—a lightweight phone no bigger than a palm, the latest version developed by the Laboratory. It contained not only apps related to the entire shelter but also apps from other shelters, enabling communication without leaving home.

"The mission audit has passed," Shen Chengning told Shen Chengyu, then read that the official squad had encountered several wild attacks, with wild ability users involved. The shelter interior would be under martial law for a few days, and the app reminded ability users to pay attention to safety when going out recently.

Mm.

Such situations happened often, especially after the concept of wild ability users appeared.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning hadn't expected that evolution would be so thorough that there were actually people living alone outside.

Oh.

It couldn't be said to be independent evolution. Some ability users had run out from other shelters, and they had more or less committed crimes.

As long as the matter wasn't serious, other shelters wouldn't pursue their responsibility, and they could rely on daily missions to exchange for daily necessities.

But such people were ultimately a minority, because most wild ability users were not very particular. Usually they either attacked official ability user squads or ambushed official resource points. The two sides met most often in the wilderness.

Shen Chengning curled her lip, obviously not caring much about the shelter being under martial law.

Shen Chengyu turned the steering wheel, and a turn brought them between several tall buildings ahead.

There were parking spots for vehicles, no points charged, but their identity proofs would be checked.

The identity card was swiped on the machine beside them. With a light sound, the car parked, and the two got out and returned to their residence.

No one was home. Shen Yao had gone to the Mall, and Shen Chengyi was busy with her own business.

After contacting Shen Yao through the communication device, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning ordered food they liked, then each returned to their room to rest and relax.

By the time Shen Yao returned from outside carrying big and small packages, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had already slept, and their spirits and bodies were much more relaxed.

Wearing loose clothes, Shen Chengyu took the food Shen Yao handed over. "Is this from that shop at the Mall?"

It smells really good. It seems that as long as auxiliary abilities evolved from abilities are used in the right place, one can harvest a lot.

"Yeah, there are a lot of people there. Fortunately, I reserved a few portions in advance."

Shen Yao also bought some daily necessities. Some were put in the kitchen, some sent to the bathroom. Food was placed on the table in the living room. Although the renovated living room had lost most of its area, the remaining space was enough for them to eat.

Shen Chengning helped unpack the other portions of food. The sweet and fragrant smell filled their mouths and noses, and saliva unconsciously secreted in their mouths.

After ability users evolved, all kinds of abilities would appear.

Among them, the most were naturally Five Elements attributes. Besides that were various auxiliaries. The shop at the Mall that Shen Chengyu mentioned referred to an ability that could enhance smell and taste. That is, the food made by that person could satisfy people, whether ability users or ordinary people.

This Gourmet Shop, once opened, became popular throughout the area around the shelter. Both ordinary people and ability users wanted to consume here. However, this shop was not unrestrained; there were fixed portions every day.

Shen Yao knew the owner of this shop, so every time she wanted to buy something, she would contact in advance. This was also the main reason Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning could eat as soon as they returned. After all, Shen Yao could put the food she made into space for preservation.

The several portions of food on the table were all eaten by Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning. The two had been on a mission for several days this time. Although it couldn't be said they were eating wind and sleeping in the dew, fighting mutated plants required constant attention, so their daily eating, drinking, and lodging were rather casual.

"It's really nice to be able to rest for a few more days this time," Shen Chengyu said, patting her belly and closing her eyes with emotion.

Shen Yao tidied up the finished food and threw it into the garbage bin to one side; when it was time to go downstairs, she would throw all the garbage out together.

Shen Chengning took out from the space some of the loot they had brought back this time, completely different from the seeds and mutated stem and leaf sold to the Official; the loot they could bring back was all edible.

"These are all mutated fruit from the forest depths; the specific variety is unknown, and they taste different when eaten," Shen Chengning pinched a crystal-clear white fruit and handed it to Shen Yao, indicating this one tasted somewhat like lychee; the other few fruits of different colors each had their own taste, even the rather strange seven-color fruit, which tasted like cake when eaten.

Shen Yao marveled that the great world contains nothing strange; there are so many mutant creatures in here, so the mutated fruits produced must certainly all be different.

On the balcony, the mutated saplings planted earlier by them swayed their bodies, moving without wind.

"I heard the Shelter plans to clear a surrounding area and arrange manpower to farm," Shen Yao felt this step was a bit too large; if handled badly, a group of people might die.

Shen Chengning rested her chin on her hand, "The Official probably wants to move the unstable factors out."

Those who struggle for power are unwilling to give up power wherever they are; as members of the Official, the two of them have both heard some hidden internal situations.

Shen Chengyi understands this aspect better; the reason is Shen Chengyi's position — the Official does not deliberately avoid Shen Chengyi in any matter.

The three women spoke for a while about the Official's situation; however, with their current capabilities, even knowing these things they have no way to interfere, and since Shen Chengyi is not counted among the unstable factors by the Official, whoever is moved out does not affect them.

Lying on the bed, Shen Yao slept steadily; she moved her body while mobilizing her mental ability, the silk-like mental ability forming a net and roaming unobstructed through the room until it ran into Shen Chengyi entering, whereupon the mental ability was forced to rebound back into Shen Yao's body.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning ran out of their rooms at the first moment; they had not seen Shen Chengyi for some days, even though Official missions were currently trending toward stability.

"Here, for you two," Shen Chengyi tossed what was in her hands to Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning.

The two people unwrapped the outer packaging, revealing two incomparably sharp long blades inside.

The material is forged from special material, produced by the Laboratory yet personally processed by Shen Chengyi; ordinary weapons cannot damage them at all.

Shen Chengyi's weapon is also forged from this material; otherwise Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning would not have coveted them and wanted the same long blades.

"Pity this material is scarce; the Official still needs it to forge other items," only enough for Shen Chengyi to make two long blades.

As the words fell, Shen Yao opened the door and came out; Shen Chengyi handed her the long whip she had secretly hidden away, "This is a material with very high extensibility; the long whip made from it can change shape," very suitable for a mental ability user like Shen Yao.

Shen Yao took the long whip and examined its material, then nodded in satisfaction, "Paired with mental ability, it can unexpectedly bind people."

Shen Yao rarely leaves the Shelter's range; the dangers she can encounter are relatively limited — this is also the main reason Shen Chengyi did not choose other materials; expensive does not necessarily mean good, suitability is key.

Raising her hand to pat Shen Chengyi's shoulder, Shen Yao took out food from the space and placed it on the table.

Shen Chengyi indeed had not eaten much; the food bought back from the Mall suited Shen Chengyi's taste, while the others could only eat home-cooked food.

"... Currently it is like this, but no one can foresee the later situation.

The Official is more willing to seize the initiative; the ability users' situation will not be especially relaxed recently."

The content released by the Official is on the surface; in reality, there are quite a few hidden conflicts; just the incidents where Shen Chengyi personally took action number no less than several.

You must know very few people ignorantly come to provoke Shen Chengyi; yet those wild ability users act as if they took the wrong medicine, truly baffling.

The System chose this moment to come join the fun; although the other three cannot hear its words, it can discuss with the Host.

Shen Yao:...

"Even if it is a conspiracy, at most it only counts as taking advantage of the situation," both sides have certain intentions; otherwise one side alone could not stir up waves.

"Host, perhaps in the end the Official will suffer," the System sneakily glanced at the oblivious Shen Chengyi, thinking these days it had followed Shen Chengyi and seen much excitement; if nothing unexpected, this time too Shen Chengyi would be the main force, the Official assisting.

"Rest assured, even if the Official suffers, it can still bite off a piece of the other side," she did not believe so many people are all stupid eggs; there are always a few clever ones.

"This time is it targeted at wild ability users, or including civilian ability users as well?"

Shen Yao wanted to gauge the Official's determination through Shen Chengyi's words.

"Mainly wild ability users; their danger is higher and they are more unstable.

But word was also released to civilian ability users; if any have thoughts of profiting from chaos, the Official intends to handle them simultaneously."

With thunderous methods giving no reaction time, the Official also does not want to drag it out with them.
