Chapter 97: Training
Energy affinity, a term that only appears among people with special powers, can it be possessed by ordinary people?
"Mr. Bai Zhou: Why not?"
In this world, there will always be people with untapped talents. They are classified as ordinary people because they have no special abilities, but they have a keen intuition about the energy concentration in the air, and they are also aware of the coming of black fog, and can leave the threatening area before it happens.
They are even more repulsive to the malice contained in the black fog, but because of their physiques they have the ability to carry the fog, the malice that can corrode internal organs in an instant is bound and suppressed in their bodies, and can only slowly devour the internal organs of the carrier, thus transforming people into powerful "bombs".
When this ability is discovered by someone with bad intentions, it will cause unpredictable serious consequences.
But fortunately, there is still time.
"Ke Yan: The personnel sent out have basically settled down. The government will move people from remote areas to central locations and recruit specialized personnel to provide regular care."
"Ke Yan: The fact that cults can accurately identify "energy affinity bodies" among people shows that they must have the corresponding means. The energy detection devices used by supernatural beings have no effect on ordinary people. We must develop corresponding instruments as soon as possible to identify the "energy affinity bodies" among the people who are unaware of it and protect them."
"Mr. Daylight: Of course you can do it."
"Mr. Bai Zhou: The abilities of energy affinity bodies are still in the undeveloped stage. I believe that once you succeed, this place will undergo earth-shaking changes."
"Mr. Bai Zhou: The Dark Nest won't cause any trouble during this period, so just focus on your research."
"Ke Yan: Okay, I will. I will proceed with the next experiment and inform my colleagues of my guess."
"Mr. Bai Zhou: There's no need to be so anxious, Ms. Ke Yan. Your colleague should have just finished writing the report and hasn't even handed it over to the higher-ups yet, right?"
"Mr. Bai Zhou: The most urgent thing is to get a good night's sleep instead of risking sudden death on the operating table by continuing research. I will report the government for abusing its employees, okay?"
"Ke Yan: Please don't do that. I am working overtime voluntarily."
"Mr. Bai Zhou: That's a terrible statement."
"Mr. Bai Zhou: By the way, there is a welfare event being held near the medical center at 2pm. Remember to go and have a look after you wake up. You may gain something."
"Ke Yan: I didn't know about this event yet. Since it might be helpful to me, I will go on time."
"Ke Yan: Then, I will go tell my colleagues to go to bed on time. Goodbye, Mr. Bai Zhou."
"Mr. Daytime: Goodbye^ ^"

"Welfare activities?!"
In the quiet place, several people collapsed on the ground and repeated in shock, their blood and sweat almost blurred together due to their expressions.
All around, the deformed monster's fallen body was torn into pieces, it stopped breathing, and after flashing rapidly, it completely disappeared from sight. The battle just ended. The two-hour high-intensity training made it hard to hide the fatigue. While gasping for breath, I felt as if my whole body was filled with an indescribable mixed smell.
"Hey, when was this event held? How come I've never heard of it?" Sweat flowed into the scars on his face, stimulating a sharp pain. Si Yu'an grimaced and wiped it fiercely. "Oh my god, this is several times the pain. The moment the monster chopped me, my eyes went black."
Everyone present was in a very miserable state, with injuries to varying degrees on their bodies. The consequence was that their sense of pain became several times more sensitive, and a small scratch would bring severe pain, almost killing the person. Based on the premise of the drill, this running-in training added some unfriendly fun.
Fortunately, the moment the barrier is removed, the current "reality" will return to "falsehood", the wounds and blood of unknown origin will be cleared away, leaving only real sweat soaking the clothes.
"Since this is a sudden event, how about it? Are you interested in going shopping together?" Lu Qingyuan held the ring on the phone case in her mouth and spun around happily. "I heard there are a lot of new and interesting things. Since it's a welfare event, there will definitely be benefits, right?"
"The results of your running-in training are good. You only need to practice once more tomorrow morning. So... do you want to go? Do you want to go? It will start at 2 pm!"
"Sister Qingyuan, you just want to go." Ye Yunhe brushed back her messy hair, looking listless again, "But I am indeed very curious, so let's set this as the afternoon's itinerary."
"Yeah, we want to go check it out, too. The guild rarely holds this kind of activity!" The Lingyao team at the side raised their hands and waved, expressing the same agreement.
Wumatu sat quietly with his knees hugged, staring at the ground in a daze. His only action after the fight was to rub his face against his collar as the sweat dripped down.
Lin Muyu pinched the sweaty hair on his forehead, feeling that the stickiness on his body was unbearable. There seemed to be a strange and unpleasant smell lingering between his nostrils... Could it be that his sense of smell had also been made more sensitive?
"It's still too early to two o'clock now." He stood up with the help of his long sword and looked at the large electronic watch on the top. The time "11:26" was obvious. "Why don't we go back to the dormitory and wash up first, and then gather at two o'clock."
The decision received widespread praise. Although Lu Qingyuan was not one of the ones sweating profusely, she couldn't help but nodded after seeing the disheveled appearance of several people.
"Indeed, my body was sticky with sweat. Even though it was fake, I still felt like my clothes were stained by the deformed genitals."
Si Yuan lifted the collar, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then showed an exaggerated expression of disgust: "Ugh."
Lin Muyu smiled and looked at the Lingyao team gently: "Would you like to have lunch together, everyone? There is no rule of not talking while eating here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"Of course. We were originally looking for someone to recommend us some delicious food that we must try in the cafeteria." The healing psychic put his hands together in a pious manner, "I'm counting on you."
"No problem." Lin Muyu turned his head to look at Lu Qingyuan again, his eyes falling on the fingertips of the other party typing. Although he roughly knew the other party's answer, he still asked, "Where is Sister Qingyuan, do you want to join us?"
"No, I'm going out to eat with my colleagues."
As expected, Lu Qingyuan, who was busy with many things, scratched his face and rejected the invitation. He waved his mobile phone, revealing the blurry chat history on the screen and the faintly visible 99+ red dots.
"By the way, I just created a group and added you guys to it. Aren't we supposed to meet at 2pm? You can just locate it in the group when the time comes. It will also be convenient for notifications."
Upon hearing this, several people opened the software and took a look, and sure enough, they found a wild group chat, lying there naked.
"Seven people and two teams bravely enter the dungeon (in the process of adjustment)"
——
After returning to the dormitory and washing themselves, several people informed each other in the group chat, and then walked towards the cafeteria together after everyone gathered.
Ye Yunhe changed into casual clothes and looked around at the five people except himself. He was not surprised: "How did he solve the need for lunch?"
"Usually we help bring him to his dormitory door, and he will open the door and take it himself." Low Ponytail decoded it in a second and answered, "The cafeteria is always crowded. It's the same with him in the guild, but there is a special auntie who brings him food." After all, he is the face of the Lingyao Guild's superpower, so how can he not have some special treatment.
After the running-in training, the protagonists have deeply witnessed the power of this team and also deeply understood the essence of Wumatu's "silence". For the entire morning, they never made eye contact with the thin young man. Occasionally, Si and An wanted to speak to each other tentatively, but the next second, Lu Qingyuan, who was beside them, nudged them with their elbow and silently stopped them.
It seems that Sister Qingyuan has also tried hard.
That's harmless. Ye Yunhe shrugged and didn't care: "Although he doesn't like to talk, he will listen to his teammates' arrangements and suggestions in battle, that's enough." It's just that the feeling of the bug rubbing against his leg is a bit weird.
"But he always touches the back of his neck. Is he injured?" She raised the issue that she was concerned about during training.
"The back of the neck..." The ponytailed mutant was a little confused, and then suddenly realized, "Oh! That should be his friend. Training is different from actual combat. He really brought it with him."
"Friend...?" Now it was someone else who was confused. Ye Yunhe and Si Yu'an looked at each other, both a little confused.
Does Wumatu have a friend on the back of his neck? Why does it sound so scary?
"No, no! It's his centipede friend, it stays at the back of his neck, Wuma Tu often interacts with it. Shockingly, he once introduced the centipede's name to me, it's called Xiao Qu."
As soon as he saw their expressions, the low ponytail mutant knew that his words had been misunderstood, and he immediately waved his hands hurriedly to explain, his words being somewhat incoherent.
"But because Xiao Qu is just an ordinary centipede, it is too dangerous to bring it to the dungeon, so Wu Ma Tu usually keeps it in the dormitory."
"Wow." Si Yuan exclaimed, thinking it was so cool, "It sounds a lot like Princess Dion."
"Which of Princess Dion's friends is a bug?" Ye Yunhe couldn't help but complain, and once again felt the compatibility between superpowers and their holders. Sure enough, the superpowers' abilities all have their own reasons.
"In fact, I also noticed that he interacted frequently with Xiao Qu today, which confirmed my inner guess." The low ponytailed mutant glanced around and lowered his voice as if he was guilty of a thief.
The others approached silently and leaned forward. It was clear that they were legitimate, but the people in the corridor inexplicably gave off a sense of stealing. Lin Muyu walked at the edge with his back straight and did not join them. He smiled and stood a few inches away from them.
The shadow under his feet honestly reached over there and climbed up to Si and An's shoulders holding the monitor.
"I think..." the ponytailed mutant said almost in a whisper, "The reason why he has been in such a bad mood for the past month may be related to Xiao Qi."
"Is it true?" The companion responded quietly, with a look of doubt on his face, "Do you have any evidence? I think he is no different from before."
"Just because you're slow doesn't mean I'm slow too, okay?" The psychic with a low ponytail rolled her eyes, wishing she could use her powers to turn this guy into a mahjong tile in her hands.
"Haven't you noticed that he spends more and more time with Xiao Qu? Sometimes he even touches the back of his neck when they're walking together, as if he's worried about something. There's a lot of difference."
As she spoke, she suddenly became uncertain again: "But his mood these past few days is different from before. I can't tell what it is, but it's just a hunch."
Her companions were impressed by her observation skills.
"It seems that Mr. Wu Ma protects Xiao Qu very well." Lin Muyu suddenly joined the topic and withdrew his ability to listen. "Can I ask when did he make this friend?"
Good question.
The three psychics of Lingyao fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, one of them answered hesitantly, "It seems... since we formed the team, Xiao Qi has been by Wu Ma Tu's side. I vaguely remember him stroking the back of my neck at that time."
"Maybe he's even further away," another one also said hesitantly. Judging from the speed at which his eyes moved, his brain must be working at full speed. "Before I joined his team, I also ran into him in the guild. He seemed to be holding something and talking. I took a quick glance and left. Now that I think about it, maybe he was chatting with Xiao Qu?"
Ye Yunhe looked at the three of them quietly. He felt that the relationship between these three supports and the main C was like that of the most familiar strangers. It was hard to believe that this was a team that had been together for nearly a year.
With some thoughts in mind, Lin Muyu calmly changed the topic, pulling the three people who were still thinking back from their memories. The focus of discussion gradually turned to the food in the cafeteria, which aroused the appetite of those who had just experienced high-intensity training, and they hurried to the cafeteria.
