This was Li Xingye's greatest secret and deepest fear, something not even Qiangzi and the others knew.
Ever since his superpower awakened when he was just ten years old, Li Xingye had vaguely sensed its power and terror, and had subconsciously hidden it.
He carefully controlled his superpower, consoling himself that for fighting zombies, it was naturally the stronger, the better.
But as order collapsed in the post-apocalyptic world, despite his best efforts to avoid it, he was one day forced to use it on a superpower user who ambushed him.
The power he absorbed from superpower users was far more potent than what he got from zombies. Before he could even react, their flesh and blood would be completely drained, leaving nothing but ash.
This realization made the young Li Xingye feel immensely disgusted and pained.
He was afraid he would be assimilated by the apocalypse, that he would lose his way, that one day he would turn on his own kind simply for the sake of power.
