"The nuclear crystal is really good... I also understand the pleasure of absorbing this refined nuclear energy... But you must know what the cost behind this is, think clearly... Since we have awakened and have a second chance at survival... don't waste it!" Vivian's words pierced Mud and Chuchan's hearts like ice, her voice was not loud, but enough to make the whole space heavy. She stood there, tall and straight, with sharp eyes, as if she could see through people's hearts. The only candle in the room flickered with a faint flame, reflecting on Vivian's face, making her already stern face look even more severe, and every word seemed to be engraved in Mud and Chuchan's hearts, unable to be erased.
The nuclear crystal in Chuchan's hand emitted a faint light, this kind of energy from nuclear radiation indeed had an irresistible attraction for the superhumans. But Vivian's words reminded them that having superpowers does not mean they can unreservedly rely on external forces, the cost behind it is huge. They were the chosen ones, the few in this post-apocalyptic world who could bring hope to themselves and others. Wasting this power would be betraying the opportunity for this second chance at survival.
Chuchan appeared somewhat uneasy under Vivian's stern gaze, feeling the crystal in his hand grow heavier. He realized that his actions might have been excessive. Mud shared his sentiment, knowing that every word Vivian spoke hit home. Despite gaining special powers in the apocalypse, they should learn to use them rationally, rather than indulging in fleeting pleasures.
Every word from Vivian filled Mud and Chuchan with awe. They understood that Vivian was not just their leader, but also a strict elder guiding them on how to survive in this harsh world. Though Vivian's expression was stern, her words conveyed care and expectations for them. She hoped they would become true wielders of supernatural abilities, rather than being enslaved by the energy like madmen.
Chuchan's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of remorse and determination. When he looked directly at Vivian, his firmness was somewhat unexpected. Vivian seemed somewhat satisfied with his response, her sharp gaze softened slightly, but she remained silent, quietly observing their reactions. The silence carried an expectation for their future actions and a test of whether they could maintain self-control and not be swayed by their abilities.
Mud, on the other hand, remained even more composed. After carefully examining the core crystal in his hand, he cautiously placed it in his pocket. This action not only showed respect for Vivian's teachings but also served as a reminder to himself - in this post-apocalyptic world, every bit of power should be cherished and used wisely. His actions silently conveyed to Chuchan and himself that even within an organization like The Curse of the Wild, they could maintain clarity and self-control.
Chuchan, under the guidance of Mud, seemed to have gained some insight. He looked at the crystal in his hand again, took a deep breath, and then put it away. At that moment, both of them understood Vivian's intention - she was not only teaching them how to become more powerful supernaturals, but also how to become wiser and more responsible individuals.
In an awkward silence, Vivian suddenly spoke, "I have a question... both of you must answer me..." Before she could finish, Mud already felt a bit troubled. This question was definitely going to be the most difficult kind. He unconsciously swallowed, and Vivian continued, "Who do you think is stronger, Red-eye or me?"
Mud's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This question was undoubtedly a very tricky multiple-choice question for him. He glanced at Chuchan and noticed that Chuchan also looked extremely troubled. In "The Curse of the Wild," Rein's power was well-known to everyone, his ability to generate high-voltage electric currents to create nuclear crystals was a source of awe for all. However, Vivian's poisonous mist was also a deadly weapon, and her ruthless and decisive nature in battle was equally fearsome.
Mud and Chuchan exchanged a glance, and the air seemed to freeze. This question was not only awkward but also seemed like a trap. In "The Curse of the Wild," Rein's prestige was unmatched, and his superpowers were universally recognized as the strongest within the organization. However, Vivian's strength and methods were equally awe-inspiring. No matter how this question was answered, it seemed it would provoke one side or the other.
Mud swallowed and tried to stay calm. " Sis, you and the boss each have your own strengths. The boss's electrical abilities are indeed powerful, but Sis, your strategy and tactics are also admirable." Mud's words sounded like beating around the bush, but he tried to remain neutral, hoping this ambiguous answer would satisfy Vivian.
Chuchan appeared even more nervous, lightly fidgeting with his fingers. "Yes, Sis, I also think... everyone has their own strengths, we can't simply compare who is stronger." His tone revealed a clear sense of uncertainty, and he avoided direct eye contact with Vivian, as if searching for a safe place to hide.
Vivian After listening, her expression was hard to read. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became even more solemn. However, she suddenly laughed, "Haha, you two are such scaredy-cats." Her laughter echoed in the dim room, "Got it, I understand what you mean." Her attitude seemed to change at that moment, no longer the stern leader, but a sister who could joke around.
Mud and Chuchan breathed a sigh of relief. The tense atmosphere finally eased, and they exchanged a smile, feeling like they had just passed a life-and-death test.
