Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 616 - Why Is the Whole World Against Me? (Part One)

Chapter 616: Why Is the Whole World Against Me? (Part One)
Zhang Xiu returned to the camp as the other members were setting up mines and traps.
The two members who followed him said excitedly, “Zhang Xiu’s ability has awakened!”
The others were slightly surprised and came together. “Really? What’s your power.”
At this point, one’s ability awakening had a great effect on their defense and could improve their overall fighting strength.
Zhang Xiu looked at his finger and then pointed it at the corner of an area wall, releasing a sticky silk shot that stuck onto the wall forming a spider web.
Everyone was happy for a brief moment before they all looked a bit awkward.
Could this f*cking be used as a weapon?
No one else dared to say anything but Mario couldn’t help but chuckle. “What the f*ck can that do? What’s your range? Even if you had Spider-Man’s powers, there’s no buildings here for you to swing around on.”
He walked over and couldn’t resist touching the spider web.
Zhang Xiu wanted to stop him, but who knew that Mario would have already reached out to touch it.
Then, Mario’s entire face turned green and his body fell to the ground hard. His whole body became paralyzed, and he started to foam at the mouth.
“F*ck! It’s toxic!” The others reacted and rushed downstairs towards the basement to get the serum from Lin Dong, and then ran up to inject it into Mario, returning his face to its original color.
Mario had a frowne and said, “Fack my life! I’m already black enough, and now it turned me green.”
Zhang Xiu looked at him strangely. “You are basically asking to be treated like a lab rat when you are the first to stand out every time. I haven’t even had a chance to tell you not to touch anything and you did. Although my webs aren’t as strong as Spider-man, they are poisonous. So today we met a dozen independent mercenaries, and they were all poisoned to death. It seems the poison is absorbed through the skin.”
“Good stuff.” Duursen smiled. “That means you can sneak up on someone at night and you can secretly screw people over with this ability.”
Zhang Xiu shook his head, “I threw up a lot before and now I feel weak. It’s probably draining my energy and function; that’s why it doesn’t shoot out webs like it did before. It seems that I have to watch myself when I use it.”
“That’s still better than us.” Luo Yi said, “You five all have superpowers now, and the 23 of us haven’t awakened any yet. What a hurry, the other three major mercenary groups are just a day’s journey away from us. The odds will be better if we can awaken as many as we can.”
The other members who hadn’t awakened their abilities yet kept their heads down and didn’t speak.
Mario quickly regained his liveliness, and he comforted the group, “Maybe this war will inspire everyone’s abilities too. Don’t be discouraged. Let’s pull ourselves together, and even if our abilities don’t awake, we’ll still get through this.”
The others nodded their heads and walked away one by one. Their fighting spirit was not affected by this, but rather the awakening of Zhang Xiu’s ability gave them more hope.
Mario came out sweating from detoxifying his entire body, and he ran over to take a shower.
Li Wei went to check up on Xu Cheng in the basement.
Lin Dong said to him, “The water in the bucket needs to be replaced and more water will be needed.”
Li Wei nodded and brought Luo Yi to fetch water.
Mario took a shower by the well. He put the bucket into the well with one hand, and when the water was full, he directly flung the bucket up while shaking just his wrist. The bucket flew into the air when he got it with one hand and poured towards his body.
Li Wei put the large wooden bucket down and said to Mario, “There’s not enough water in the basement for Big Brother Cheng.”

Mario nodded and filled the bucket that Xu Cheng used with water first.
Li Wei squatted down and wondered when his ability would come out. Luo Yi looked at him in confusion and said, “Don’t worry, Big Brother Cheng said that the appearance of one’s ability is only related to the integrity of the body absorbing the cellular genes. This kind of thing cannot be forced.”
Li Wei nodded. “I’m just curious what my ability will be.”
Luo Yi patted his shoulder, and when his hand touched Li Wei’s shoulder, he felt an electric current that scared him.
“F*ck.” Luo Yi withdrew his hand.
“What’s wrong?” Li Wei asked curiously.
“Your f*cking clothes’s got static electricity, eh?” Luo Yi laughed, “It just pricked my pores.”
“Are you stupid? I’m wearing a linen-cotton fabric, not synthetic fiber. Where could the static electricity have come from?” Li Wei scowled at him. “Learn some common sense, okay?”
Luo Yi also froze for a moment and then went to touch Li Wei’s shoulder, feeling that this time there was no electric current.
“Was I just hallucinating?” Luo Yi muttered, though his arms didn’t retract yet from Li Wei’s shoulder when he heard Li Wei sigh, “I don’t know if we’ll be able to make it through tomorrow. I just hope that Big Brother Cheng will be fine.”
As he sighed, an electric current immediately erupted. Luo Yi, who was patting his shoulder, was in a state of shock as his pores expanded and his hair stood erect.
“Oh Sh*t!” Luo Yi jumped straight up like a fighting chicken.
When Li Wei saw that his friend was reacting like this, he frowned at him and asked, “Are you sick?”
“You’re the one who’s f*cking sick, you just had a huge electric current all over your body,” Luo Yi also said in surprise.
Li Wei was stunned, and then became a little happy. “But I didn’t feel it.”
“Don’t worry, try it slowly.” Luo Yi also told him to calm down. “Try touching something that conducts electricity.”
“It’s conductive, eh?” Li Wei thought, “I’ll try with a metal rod.”
“Why get a metal rod, isn’t there water here? Water conducts electricity as well.” Luo Yi looked at him like he was looking at an idiot.
“Ohhh.” Li Wei had also become a little nervous and excited, so he felt that his IQ had dropped.
He squatted down and felt the water, then looked over at Mario who was fetching water as he frowned. “You’re probably mistaken, right? There was no electricity since Mario can’t even feel it. He would feel the electricity if he’s wet.”
Luo Yi also squatted down and felt the water, finding nothing.
At that moment, Mario turned to the two and said, “The water is full, let’s carry it over. What are you two doing?”
Luo Yi looked at Mario and asked, “Did you feel a slight electric current?”
“I can feel a bit of wind, but where the hell is the electric current coming from? Is there a leak?” Mario wondered.
Li Wei was greatly disappointed. “I told you it’s not easy to awaken one’s abilities.”
He remembered that Luo Yi was upset when he had stung him earlier on, and he immediately said, “Don’t move, you just keep this mood and put your hand on the water to see.”
Luo Yi put his hands back into the water and this time, a powerful stinging electric shock surrounded the water, making it move like it’s boiling.
Then on the side, Mario started to twitch nonstop, pouring a big bucket of water down his body. After his hair puffed up like a lightning bolt had struck him and his eyes rolled up, Luo Yi finally realized and pushed Li Wei away.
Mario’s entire body was charre; he already had a dark skin tone, but now he was so darker that only his teeth could be seen.
He collapsed in the pool, and his whole body twitched randomly once in a while like a fish on shore that was about to die.
“Why…. is the whole world against me…” Mario glanced at Li Wei, the culprit behind this, and fainted right after.
