Chapter 159 Training, Chaos, Lu Qingyuan
Ever since what happened on the rooftop, Ye Yunhe and the other two had unconsciously changed their personalities. No changes could be seen when people came, but the long timer on the training ground was clearly visible.
Every morning after breakfast and a rest period, the three would go to the training ground to exercise together. They would train for the whole day, and their degree of sleepless nights and forgetting to eat was shocking. They became familiar to the coaches who were training the newcomers and became "people who need to be learned" in their mouths.
I trained until I was sweating profusely, and only ate a few pieces of bread for lunch. After that, I continued with the intensive training for the whole afternoon. His supernatural powers were exhausted and his whole body was in pain, so he fell to the ground and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Sweat seeped through his clothes and stained the floor, leaving a naked human mark.
They just sat there in a daze for five minutes, occasionally chatting with each other. The formation of the training ground is very unique. It has so much energy that it can be absorbed every minute and every second. After drinking a bottle of potion, the supernatural power will be restored to 70% to 80%, and then you can get up and continue training without interruption.
The newbie's eyebrows jumped again and again, and he immediately increased the intensity without waiting for the instructor to start scolding, and the originally peaceful environment became more and more tense. Finally, he collapsed into a puddle of mud and was carried out of the training ground.
By the time the crescent moon was high in the sky, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and they were the only three people left in the training ground that was once bustling with people during the day. At this time, they closed the door, supported each other, and walked slowly towards the dormitory together.
After waking up, it’s another day of repeating the same routine.
This is too risky. Even an iron man can't withstand such high-intensity training. The strength of the superpower has indeed increased, but the backlash will also come as expected, turning into unstoppable blood gushing out of the nose or throat.
"That's too much!" Xinyi slapped the towel on the three people's faces in annoyance. "You have to improve your strength slowly. If you continue to train like this, your energy will be disrupted. It will hurt you to death."
Ye Yunhe drooped his eyelids, lowered his head and covered his nose with a towel skillfully: "That's just a small probability, it's just too slow to take one step at a time."
"That can't be done." Xinyi was selecting the medicine.
"Forcibly expanding a fixed capacity is not good for the body to begin with, and you guys come two or three times a day, turning a small probability into a big one."
"There's nothing we can do." Si Yu'an, whose nose was covered, said in a muffled voice, "It's much better now, and the frequency will gradually decrease in the future. The dungeons are dropping more and more frequently now, and the difficulty is getting higher and higher. If we don't improve our strength, we will have no chance."
Lin Muyu nodded, uncharacteristically: "I just think it's better to lie exhausted on the floor of the training ground than to lie miserably in the dungeon."
“I want to become stronger.”
Xinyi paused, held her breath for a long time, and then let out a sigh. She grabbed a few bottles of blackened medicine and slammed them onto the table.
"Okay, I can't win against the three of you with just one mouth."
The girl scolded coldly: "Drink the medicine and get out of here. If I see you come in with blood on your face again, I will boil you in the medicine."
The three of them shrank their necks obediently. Each of them picked up a bottle and drank it obediently.
Then I almost spurted it out.
"……vomit!"
The entrance is extremely bitter, so bitter that it makes your spiritual network burst. Si Yu'an put on the mask of pain for a second. Xinyi slapped the towel he had just used to stop the bleeding on his mouth and forced him to swallow the medicine that was like a torture instrument.
When the strong bitterness fades away, it is followed by extreme astringency and sourness, which strangely stimulates every taste bud in the mouth and the tongue that can't help but twitch. I don't know what else was added to this medicine, but it actually has a pungent spicy smell that spreads throughout the mouth, making my whole mouth numb with pain.
Ye Yunhe lowered her head tightly, her fingertips pinching the bottle mouth with such force that they turned white. Her messy hair hid her expression, and only her brows that had never been relaxed could be seen.
Lin Muyu's facial expression was temporarily out of control in this assassination-like atmosphere. The invisible burden made the young man raise his hands to cover his brows and eyes, his whole body stiff in the seat.
With an orderly "gulp" sound, the first sip of the potion was swallowed by the three people.
Xin Yi snorted coldly: "Drink it all."
"This is a potion I prepared myself. No one has ever drunk it except you. I guarantee that it will cure your illness and even better, so that you won't collapse on the ground like a dead cow two or three times a day."
"Don't you want to become stronger? Can't you even endure this little bit of hardship?"
The room was quiet for a moment.
After a long time, Lin Muyu's voice became hoarse and he finally looked a little weak: "...Thank you."
"We'll finish it."
The drug took effect almost the next second after it was swallowed. Its power, which was proportional to how unpalatable it was, immediately stopped the nosebleed and even replenished the body's energy. However, a dense, dull pain gradually spread throughout the body, as if being eaten by ants.
Drugs that have both beneficial effects and side effects are not allowed to be delivered to people with special abilities.
So as not to be discovered by others. The three men pinched their noses, closed their eyes, hardened their hearts, tilted their heads back, retracted their tongues, and drank all the medicine in one go. The strange black liquid quickly flowed into their stomachs, causing a burning pain in their throats.
When the bottle was empty, I almost felt dizzy.
Xinyi threw out three more candies, put her hands on her hips and looked at their painful faces: "I really want to take a picture of your expressions...Okay, you can go now. Come to my place every week to get medicine."
Ye Yunhe made an "OK" gesture with difficulty, unwrapped the candy wrapper and put the candy into his mouth, finally feeling a little relieved.
"Then we will leave first... We haven't finished the remaining training yet." Si Yu'an's voice sounded as old as a hundred-year-old man, and his face was wrinkled. "Thank you, kind Xinyi, but can't you make the taste a little friendlier?"
"No, don't you know that good medicine tastes bitter?"
Xinyi pointed at the door, signaling the three to get out immediately.
Lin Muyu stood up, bowed slightly to her, picked up the other two and was about to walk out: "Then we will come at this time next week."
"See you next time..."
A loud noise suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the farewells of several people. At the moment when the four of them turned their heads in unison, it was followed by an even louder noise and a shrill, high-pitched scream, which sounded very panic-stricken and unsettling.
With such a noise coming from a well-soundproof medical building, it was obvious what was happening outside.
The door was opened with a snap, Ye Yunhe stepped out of the room, looked at the nurses in the corridor who were also attracted, and looked around for directions.
It seemed like the noise came from the ward. It hasn't calmed down yet, and the crying and shouting mixed in with the loud noise are unclear.
"What's going on? Is this a medical dispute?" Si Yu'an listened for a moment.
"Go and have a look."
Xinyi squeezed out from between the three people and hurried to the right corridor: "Maybe something happened to the new patients. They are mentally unstable, so it's normal for them to collapse. They have been so well behaved these past few days that I thought nothing would happen."
The new batch of patients.
Ye Yunhe knew about this and his expression changed slightly when he heard this. Not only her, the other two also had changes in expression.
…
A group of people suddenly appeared in the lobby of the medical building a few days ago. Half of them were psychics and half were ordinary people. Without exception, they were all covered in wounds, crying out in pain weakly and about to die. The originally drowsy receptionist suddenly made a sharp explosion. Without time to wonder where the people came from, she immediately called her colleagues to move these people into the operating room.
Half of the people had naked abdomens and chests with many bloody holes, and there were traces of unknown instruments around their temples; half of the people had traces of being tied up, and their wrists and ankles were tied purple, suspected of being electrocuted, but fortunately it was not for long and they were not dying.
Most people broke down emotionally and bit anyone they saw. It was really frightening to see them looking like they were willing to bite off a piece of other people's flesh even if they were to die. Fortunately, he was really weak and his last burst of energy was very short.
The top management held an emergency meeting. In the end, they discovered that this group of people were exactly the same as the people who had disappeared a while ago, and the people with special abilities were also claimed by their respective guilds, and only then were their identities confirmed.
They were all innocent people abducted by the Dark Nest. Ordinary people are the newest batch, and those with special abilities have been tortured for some time, but the latter are several times stronger than the former, so it is hard to tell which one is better between the two batches. In the end, I only picked the one who looked calm to ask.
[I... I am an idle psychic. My powers are of little use on a daily basis. The guild is unwilling to accept me, and I am unwilling to clear dungeons. 】The psychic with a hoarse voice spoke softly, his speech a little unclear. He always felt that there was still phantom pain in his body.
[I was afraid of death in the first place, who knew that I would be kidnapped by those damn bastards and subjected to some cruel experiments. Every day I lived a life worse than death... If I had known this would happen, I would rather die in the dungeon. At least I would die with dignity. 】
[It’s amazing that you managed to survive.] 】The person who asked the question had a gentle voice,【We know very little about the Dark Nest, and you can bring valuable information. You are heroes and deserve the honor you deserve. 】
Can you tell me how you got out? 】
The psychic was silent for a while, his brows furrowed, his expression painful because of the memories. In that never-ending torture, he did see a figure in a trance, and then he felt the talisman being stuck on his forehead. After being dizzy, he fell heavily to the ground and almost lost half his life.
[I remember... it seemed to be a man, and judging by his figure, he was a young man. 】He hit his head hard and gasped, [I couldn't see his face clearly... It was all red as if it was covered in blood. When he opened the door, there was a strong smell of blood. It seemed that those bastards were all dead...]
[Then I saw him wearing a windbreaker, black...with white underneath, stained red with blood. Then he came in and cut off those broken instruments... Then it hurt, so much pain that I felt like I was going to die...】
Finally he passed out. The psychic covered his chest with his hands in fear, it was obvious that the man was his savior, but for some reason, he didn't really want to see him again.
Perhaps it was because when that man walked in, he looked too much like a Shura who came to take his life. The unrestrained pressure of supernatural powers came straight over his head and could be easily dealt to him.
[But he is indeed a good man... Anyone who killed those bastards must be a good man...]
The psychic murmured in a trance.
The person asking the question paused after hearing his description, with a complicated expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Who the young man the other party was talking about was already clear. As for the rich man's attitude of scattering teleportation talismans, I had actually thought about it from the beginning, but now I am completely sure of it.
[…It is daytime.] 】After closing the door, the person questioning told him quietly.
[……] The officer waiting on the side was silent. He glanced and swept his eyes across the faces of the senior officials around him.
I don’t know what the people present at the time were thinking, but they were all shocked. After all, everyone’s expressions at that moment didn’t look fake.
The story of "breaking into the secret nest alone in broad daylight, killing a group of cult members and rescuing innocent people" spread within the government. Fortunately, the employees kept quiet and the eye-popping incident was not spread outside, otherwise the residents would have made some big noise to celebrate. But ordinary people have to go home eventually, and this matter will eventually spread outside.
This matter was too positive and too unbelievable. No one knew how Bai Zhou could accomplish such an earth-shattering feat. Even the senior executives who always liked to go against the grain were strangely silent. Apart from sending messages to the young man that would not be replied to, he seemed to have lost all his strength and means.
All in all, Bai Day's reputation rose significantly again.
In short, the entire government is now waiting for daylight to return.
…
The timeline returns to the present.
Because of their concern, the trio followed Xinyi towards the ward.
Passing by the figures of people who stopped to look into the distance, the last thing that came into view was a voice that became clearer as the distance got farther away.
"It's you... It's you!! Why are you here! Where is this place? It's not safe here..."
"I want to leave! Let me go, you are in the same group... You are in the same group!!"
…
Various voices overlapped together, the tone was collapsed and desperate, and the crying sounded incessantly. It was very loud, but just listening to it made people feel heartbroken.
"It seems something has provoked them." Xinyi quickly figured out the reason and pushed through the crowd to look inside.
The last person who appeared in front of her surprised her.
The patients who were being held down by the medical staff cried out one after another, raising their hands and pointing them at one person.
And in the direction pointed by several fingers, in front of the ward door, there was a person standing there in a daze, at a loss, frowning and trying to explain.
"What's going on...it's not me. Was my appearance misunderstood?" the man responded helplessly. The people around her kept some distance from her, looking at each other and then hesitantly at her.
The person noticed the gaze and turned to look at Xinyi with a look of "I'm saved" in his eyes.
It’s Lu Qingyuan.
