Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Zombies

What you learn from books is always shallow. You must practice it yourself to truly understand it.

This was He Junxia's only thought when he looked back on those days after being rescued.

If they can apply the knowledge in books to real life, they may not be so passive when facing the aggressive crocodiles.

So He Junxia decided to sign up for the army.

Only the systematic training methods in the military can enable an ordinary person to master and skillfully apply a large number of combat and self-defense skills in a short period of time, and provide more protection for his next mission.

——If he had not been over the age to sign up for military service in the previous mission world, and had not been restricted by the disaster environment and mission, He Junxia would have tried to apply to join the army no matter what.

Now it’s convenient.

He has completed the task issued by the wisher, no longer has to worry about his life being threatened, and can use up to five years to enrich himself.

Moreover, the wisher has older brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters. One more or one less person in the family will not make much difference. Joining the army can also avoid the problem of his personal image collapsing.

After all, it is not easy to play a person with a completely different personality from your own for a long time, especially in front of the family of the wisher.

After learning about He Junxia's idea, John's parents were very puzzled - their second son was a naughty bad boy who had never thought about joining the army before, and even had some resistance.

However, He Junxia was well prepared for this.

When John's parents asked him about it, he gave a convincing and irrefutable answer - he wanted to join the army to strengthen himself and overcome his psychological trauma about crocodiles.

John's parents knew that the other surviving girl, Barbara, saw a psychiatrist several times a week and had seen the giant 17.72-foot-long crocodile that was euthanized and turned into an animal specimen.

It was a terrifying monster.

Therefore, the two easily accepted their son's explanation.

As for whether you can pass the enlistment test after applying?

The answer is yes.

Unlike He Junxia's native country, this country has not met its conscription targets for several consecutive years. The conscription threshold is so open that there is almost no threshold. Anyone who is an adult can sign up.

After a period of testing and training, He Junxia officially became an army soldier, and was the one who trained the hardest and learned the most theoretical knowledge among all the new recruits of the same period.

(Nonsense! If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to get some free access to the already established military training system and accumulate enough practical combat experience, it will be difficult to learn everything from scratch later.)

…

He Junxia stayed in the second mission world for five years before leaving.

Five years has brought about a huge change.

Even if He Junxia returned to the first mission world or the original world with his own face, his parents, the parents of the He family would not think that the young man in front of them was their own child.

The temperament is too different.

Before leaving this world, He Junxia specially returned to the wisher's home and gave all the salary he received after joining the army to the wisher's parents, as a way of thanking the wisher for the good opportunity he had brought him.

[End the task]

【yes】

He Junxia returned to the rest area again. The hotel-style single room was still the same as when he left, without any changes.

But to be honest, He Junxia felt a little disgusted.

From his perspective, five years had passed, and these things had been gathering dust for five years.

(Although there is no dust in the rest area)

[Internship Task 2: Going Home (Completed)]

[Task Reward: 30 Spacetime Points]

Hidden Mission: Going Home with Friends (1/3)

[Task Reward: 30 Spacetime Points]

【Rest time: 144 hours】

He Junxia raised her eyebrows slightly. There was no mention of hidden tasks in the internship task rules, and the rewards for hidden tasks were actually higher than those for tasks posted by wishers.

If the other two were also alive, he would get 90 time and space points, and the total reward would be three times the internship mission reward.

[System?] [444]

The silent atmosphere did not change at all

He Junxia couldn't remember how many times he had tried to call System 444 in his mind, but no matter how he called the system's name, he got no response.

It was like he had been abandoned by the system.

He Junxia rubbed his forehead.

The only thing left now was to complete the last internship task as soon as possible, become a formal employee of the Space-Time Administration, log into the Tasker's Home APP on the computer, and seek help from the official customer service in the software.

He Junxia did not stay in the rest area for too long. After only one day, he started to draw the last internship task.

【Task has been extracted】

[Internship Task 3: Bring my mother, Xie Liqing, to the survivor base in City A]

[About to enter the mission world, countdown 10, 9, 8, 7...]

…

"According to predictions from experts at the Astronomical Society, a Lyrid meteor shower will arrive on April 19th, reaching its peak at 9:00 PM. Currently, a large number of citizens are waiting at Wenhai Square for the shower to arrive. Let's connect with a reporter on the front lines."

The first thing He Junxia saw when she opened her eyes was the news anchor clearly reporting on the Lyra meteor shower on TV.

He looked at the time displayed in the lower left corner of the TV screen. It was now 7:30 p.m. on April 19th, and there was still an hour and a half before the Lyra meteor shower, as the host said, would reach its peak.

【Transfer Memory】

A flood of information flooded into He Junxia's mind. He quickly checked the important information and made a decision after a moment.

He Junxia finished her meal in big mouthfuls, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Mom, my deskmate recommended a few test papers to me. I'll go to the bookstore to take a look."

Xie Liqing looked at the sky outside and said, "It's so late, let's go tomorrow."

He Junxia: "I'm going to the bookstore on Changchun Road."

Changchun Road is less than ten minutes away from the residential complex. Xie Liqing thought about it and didn't refuse again: "Okay, how much do you want? Is 100 enough? Forget it, I'll give you 200."

Xie Liqing took out two hundred yuan in cash from her bag and handed it to her son.

He Junxia took the money and put it in his pocket, then stood up and put the used dishes into the kitchen sink, then returned to the bedroom and took out the 700 yuan New Year's money that the wisher had hidden in the cabinet.

"Mom, I'm going out."

"Come back soon."

He Junxia closed the door and rushed downstairs. The empty schoolbag on his back swayed left and right as he ran, but it did not affect his movements at all.

Of course, he did not go to the bookstore on Changchun Road, but went straight to a large supermarket nearby and spent all his money to buy a lot of high-calorie foods such as instant canned food, compressed biscuits, and chocolate that were easy to carry and store.

When he came out of the supermarket, the originally light backpack had left deep marks on the boy's thin shoulders.

He Junxia estimated that she would be home in 25 minutes. Xie Liqing looked up and said, "I bought some bananas. Come and have some bananas. I bought them at the fruit store downstairs. They were ten yuan a pound. They said they were imported bananas and hadn't been soaked in any chemicals."

He Junxia put on slippers and broke off a banana. The banana was bright golden yellow, with a smooth skin. It looked very good and there was a sticker with foreign letters on it.

However, He Junxia disagrees with the statement that they are not soaked in medicine - medicine is a general term. If preservatives and fungicides are also considered medicines in the eyes of the public, then most of the bananas on the market are medicine-soaked bananas.

Foreign imports are no exception.

What's more, it is not certain whether these bananas are really imported from abroad.

He Junxia remembers that when he was in high school, his mother often bought imported fruits for home, saying that imported fruits were safer.

However, not long after, the store was exposed in the news for selling domestic fruits as imported fruits, and all the foreign language stickers were purchased online, which made her mother so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

But after all, it was the elders' intention, and since they had already bought it, He Junxia wouldn't be so tactless as to refute or remind them.

"I went in to do my homework."

"Okay, I'll turn down the volume on the TV. Don't forget to drink a bottle of milk before going to bed."

"Um"

He Junxia returned to his room and closed the door, but unfortunately the bedroom door was not locked. He could only use a chair to prop up the bedroom door to avoid being suddenly "attacked" by the wisher's mother.

He Junxia stuffed all the food he bought into the cupboard and began to analyze the mission using the draft paper on the table.

Let me first briefly introduce the wish publisher.

Name: Xie Tengda

Age: 17

About myself: I am an ordinary high school sophomore with decent grades, introverted personality, and a child from a single-parent family.

Family introduction: When Xie Tengda was six years old, his biological father divorced his mother because of infidelity. He took away all the family's money and ran away with his mistress. He has not been heard from since.

His mother, Xie Liqing, has a strong desire for control and takes care of all the big and small matters in the family. After the divorce, she put almost all her energy on her son and had high expectations for Xie Tengda. She is a typical single-parent family mother.

The wisher's request: to enter the survivor base in City A with his mother Xie Liqing.

It's a bit troublesome.

He Junxia tapped the table lightly with her fingertips.

It’s not difficult to play the role of a character, you just need to be as silent as possible.

And as the saying goes, if you don't explode in silence, then keep silent. A shy and introverted child may also explode when pushed to the limit. He can gradually change his image in Xie Liqing's eyes.

But the survivor base in City A is a big problem.

As far as we know, the technological level of this world is equivalent to that of his native world in 2012. Mobile phones are still in the single-button era, and electronic payments have not yet become mainstream in society.

What kind of disaster would result in a base of survivors in a large city of millions of people?

Flu, plague, war or nuclear meltdown?

Or perhaps plants and animals mutate, or aliens suddenly attack?

He Junxia wrote down all his guesses on a piece of scratch paper using symbols that only he could understand, without noticing that his body temperature was slowly rising.
