Cannon fodder in the Interstellar

Chapter 328 - Testing Potential



Lin Kexin was already a late-stage Level 5 Psychic, and assembling mechas below Level 5 was not difficult for her. Once she reached Level 6, it would be even easier.

Ruo Manni felt that Lin Kexin had a great interest in mechanical engineering, and her comprehension ability was several levels higher than hers. She believed that Lin Kexin would do well on the path to becoming a mechanical master. The Earth was in great need of such a pioneer to drive technological advancements.

Ruo Manni had this confidence because Hebrew Adam had high limits in the Gus Empire, and his brainwave interface had downloaded a vast amount of mechanical manufacturing knowledge, ranging from low-end to high-end techniques.

Ruo Manni had instructed him to pass on all the knowledge to Lin Kexin except for the core technology. Lin Kexin was overjoyed, and her attitude towards Hebrew Adam improved as well.

“Hebrew brought many mecha parts with him. Once someone in the base reaches Level 5 in martial arts, Kexin, you will be able to tailor a mecha for them,” Ruo Manni said to Lin Kexin.

“The zombie virus has likely greatly enhanced your bodies; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to reach such high levels in such a short time. I believe the psychics have very good potential for cultivation. Tomorrow, you should check on your subordinates. Those with good cultivation potential should undergo special training. Try to form a mecha team within six months. Once you have a star mecha unit, you won’t be afraid of the aliens anymore,” Ruo Manni said calmly.

Hearing that her sister had a plan and knowing about the mecha issue, Lin Ruihai was also filled with confidence and ambition. With two such outstanding sisters, he couldn’t fall behind.

In reality, Hebrew Adam and his team did not oppose helping the people of Earth deal with the aliens, especially Dean Atchison, who would definitely rush in excitedly.

The mutated animals and zombies here were too weak, and they found fighting them frustrating. Instant kills were simply boring.

However, Ruo Manni felt that since Hebrew Adam and his team were outsiders, not even from this timeline, they couldn’t act as Earth’s long-term protectors.

Since Earth had already attracted the attention of aliens, it meant that this planet was now known to extraterrestrial civilizations. Even if this batch of aliens was dealt with, it didn’t mean that future threats were eliminated. The weak would eventually be bullied, and this apocalypse was a clear example.

Thus, humanity on Earth needed to become stronger and more self-reliant. Otherwise, extinction or enslavement would be inevitable. High-level civilizations could easily deal with lower-level ones. Ruo Manni wanted to use this crisis to unite everyone and make them stronger.

Of course, if Earth’s humanity truly faced the risk of extinction, Ruo Manni and her team would definitely step in to help.

Regarding the equipment used to test potential, Lin Kexin looked at the instructions and figured it out quickly. Ruo Manni handed over all the tasks to her.

Lin Kexin’s martial arts potential was only 3B, average at best. However, her psychic cultivation potential was just as Ruo Manni had expected, similar to Mina-Olli’s, both at E-level.

Lin Kexin had only been cultivating for a year, yet her psychic level had already reached late-stage Level 5. Ruo Manni estimated that this was the special ability she had gained after her reincarnation.

Lin Ruihai and Song Changlong’s martial arts potential also matched Ruo Manni’s expectations, both reaching Level 2D. It was no wonder that they advanced so quickly; however, this was also due to the fact that they had been practicing the body techniques Lin Kexin taught them from the start.

After Li Ziyan and Su Luoxue got caught in the rain, they both developed fevers. Both of them gained the power of abilities, and the test results showed that Li Ziyan’s martial arts potential was Level C, which was considered above average in the interstellar era.

However, the most surprising result was that Su Luoxue’s cultivation potential was as high as Level 3D. No one expected that there would be such a genius on Earth; she needed to be nurtured with great care.

It seemed that if the children were excellent, the parents couldn’t be too bad either. Lin Kexin’s parents had martial arts levels that barely reached Level B. Though they couldn’t cultivate into powerful warriors, they had potential. Even if they only became Level 1 warriors, they could greatly enhance their physical fitness and lifespan. This was something they had to practice.

Lin Ruihai and Lin Kexin acted quickly, and within ten days, they had gathered all the survivors in B City who had a cultivation potential of Level B or above. Young people under 30, along with the ability users, were all brought together.

Lin Ruihai naturally didn’t dare to tell everyone about the aliens directly, so instead, he showed them satellite images of zombies caught in the rain, as well as images of zombies ten days after being exposed to the rain. Those who saw the pictures understood clearly: zombies evolved much faster after being exposed to rain.

Those with some knowledge understood what this meant—it meant that humanity would face an even greater crisis.

“You all know that the number of zombies is twenty to thirty times greater than the number of human survivors. Even if we hide in the survivor base, sooner or later, they will come and surround us,” Lin Ruihai said with a serious expression.

“So what do you plan to do, Base Leader?” Gao Genrong asked, somewhat provocatively.

Lin Ruihai and Song Changlong hadn’t met the same tragic fate as Dai Yanping in the dream, where everyone died. Since Gao Genrong had already developed ambitions to become the base leader, being firmly suppressed by Lin Ruihai made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and naturally, he felt displeased when seeing Lin Ruihai.

Just as Gao Genrong was about to insult Lin Ruihai, everyone in the room suddenly felt a powerful aura emanating from the young girl sitting beside Lin Ruihai. Most of the overwhelming pressure seemed to be directed toward Gao Genrong and his companions.

Gao Genrong broke into a cold sweat. The base leader’s younger sister, who had returned from the international special forces training camp, was rumored to be strong beyond belief—so strong it made one feel hopeless.

No wonder she could kill the Level 4 mutated snake without a scratch and easily run to the northwest to bring her sister-in-law back.

What was even more terrifying was that not only was she strong on her own, but she also had eleven teammates from the same place, all as strong as her.

The second young lady of the Lin family was also a person of great depth. After that day when she “had a talk” with Dai Yanping, Dai Yanping never had another “precognitive dream,” but she did learn how to cultivate psychic control.

Gao Genrong naturally wasn’t happy that Dai Yanping lost her “precognition” ability, but Dai Yanping herself was very happy to have gained an offensive ability instead.

However, it was later discovered that although Dai Yanping could no longer “predict” things, she had developed an extraordinary sensitivity to danger. When they took Dai Yanping on missions, their mercenary team could always avoid danger.

Originally, Gao Genrong had hoped to use Dai Yanping’s loss of her “precognition” ability to stir up trouble and gain some benefits. But now, with the pressure from Miss Lin, he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not entertain any such thoughts.

The three siblings from the Lin family were simply unbeatable, and Song Changlong was still Miss Lin’s boyfriend. Their opponents were too strong.

“I want you all to belong to my team. Starting tomorrow, I will train you using the special training methods brought by Miss Lin Manni,” Lin Ruihai said straightforwardly. “Time is running out. I need everyone to follow my commands and arrangements, to become as strong as possible, and work together to defend the B City base. Only then can our B City base survive in an even more dire situation.”

“Those who are unwilling can choose to leave. You have ten days to leave the B City base,” Ruo Manni continued after Lin Ruihai.

Her expression was indifferent, and the aura around her was terrifying. The room fell silent, and no one dared to voice any opposition.
