After some discussion, He Yongjun and the others decided to use a rope to make a net and pull the insect out.
Of course, they knew what Chu Zixuan had said before, that the pile of corpses were moved by Du Gang. But after knowing that they were just freshmen, there was an inexplicable emotion stirring in their hearts.
They’d rather struggle themselves than let Du Gang help them.
However, they were still quite cautious, having Su Qi watching by their side, ready to suppress the creature with her superpower the moment it showed signs of waking up.
So, without Du Gang’s help, He Yongjun and the others successfully managed to drag the insect into the courtyard.
When the sunlight hit the insect, it instantly became immobile, its leg that was previously struggling now motionless.
Under the direct radiance of the sunlight, the insect completely lost control of its body.
“Give it a kick and see!”
Chu Zixuan interjected.
He Yongjun glanced at him and nodded at one of the officers, who then went up and brutally kicked the insect.
Even after several kicks, the insect showed no reaction, as though it was truly dead.
“Is it dead?”
The crowd was surprised, not expecting the sunlight to cause such damage to the insect.
At this, Chu Zixuan shook his head. He had been using his Mental Power to scan the insect’s internal condition.
Its life force was still there, but under the sunlight, it was suppressed to the maximum.
As he was talking, he glanced at Du Gang and said, “Let me try to see if killing it at this moment elicits any reaction!”
If kicking it didn’t help, he might as well try to cut it.
As soon as his words fell, the blade in his hand started levitating.
While the officers were not seeing this for the first time, they still found it fascinating.
So, he asked, “What’s your plan?”
“Our destination is Luo An City, our families are there. We should take action while it’s still daylight!”
“Understood!”
He Yongjun nodded. At this time, his expression underwent a slight change, but he quickly covered it up and anxiously asked, “Can you do us a favor?”
Chu Zixuan smiled lightly, “Do you want me to help you extract the crystals from the living insects at the police station?”
When his real intention was guessed, He Yongjun felt slightly awkward. Refusing Du Gang’s help was mainly due to their pride, and now they were again requesting assistance, which felt a bit awkward.
However, thinking that this crystal could awaken superpowers and kill insects, he couldn’t help but feel excited, not caring about saving face anymore.
Chu Zixuan nodded and agreed.
This answer was what they had thought of in advance. Currently, these policemen wanted to extract crystals from the insects, which could be quite troublesome and require a lot of effort.
But if he were to help, it wouldn’t take much time. His psychokinetic power is consumed according to the size of the object. For him, using a blade wouldn’t consume too much Mental Power.
Soon, with Su Qi’s help, Chu Zixuan had extracted crystals from all the insects in the police station, collecting more than thirty crystals in total.
“I suggest each of you take one of these crystals and swallow it to see if your superpowers will awaken. Then, you can focus on awakening one person...” Chu Zixuan’s suggestion was excellent. After a few moments of consideration, they all agreed.
As they washed the crystals with water, Du Gang asked a question, “What are your plans after awakening?”
“Plan?”
He Yongjun suddenly straightened up, saying seriously, “I have to live up to my role, protecting the people...”
“Once we awaken our superpowers, we’ll each go check our homes first, then find a safe place to set up a survivor base. After that, we’ll start hunting insects and rescuing the civilians!”
He Yongjun hesitated before asking, “Chu Zixuan, would you like to join us?”
Compared to the ordinary Du Gang, he was more keen on having Chu Zixuan join them.
“Sorry, my family is still waiting for me in Luo An City!”
The refusal from Chu Zixuan was justified, leaving He Yongjun and the others unable to retaliate.
They could only sigh regretfully, then one after another, started swallowing the crystals in their hands..
