Chapter 248 Entering the Research Institute
With the reward of high salary, the more than one hundred people who came here were full of fighting spirit. They were divided into groups of twenty. Li Yao's number was sixty-three, which put her in the fourth group.
Li Yao saw that three people had defeated the security team within ten minutes. She calculated that as long as she could keep it at nine minutes, she would either be fourth or fifth.
This position is also very important. People generally pay attention to the top three, and few people pay attention to the fourth and fifth. This is the gap that Li Yao wants.
By the time Li Yaocheng defeated her, she had controlled the time to eight minutes and forty seconds. Her performance made Gray look at her sideways. This woman was very agile. The people she defeated grimaced and complained in a low voice about what she had eaten to grow up and how strong she was.
After all the one hundred people were selected, only thirty were selected, no more, no less, and only six people could get one thousand two hundred points. Li Yao was stuck in fourth place, and there happened to be a woman in sixth place.
Li Yao took a look and saw that he was in his thirties, with smooth muscles and sharp eyes. His temperament was a bit similar to Gray, so he should be a retired soldier as well.
That night, those who were eliminated had to be sent out with regret. There were too many secrets in the core area, and the research institute was the one that could not be told among all the secrets.
Li Yao and others were also blindfolded and taken away. When the blindfolds were taken off, they had already entered the research institute.
The temperature here is just right. Many people are amazed when they come in. It is spacious yet warm here. I wonder how much energy is consumed every day.
Twenty-nine out of the thirty people who came in felt that they had made the right decision, not only could they get eight hundred points, but it was also as warm as spring here, so they wouldn't have to freeze to death when they went out to relax.
Gray explained the rules here, and told them not to go anywhere except where security guards were assigned.
At this time, someone brought a bracelet, one for each person.
Gray: "Here's the bracelet, put it on."
Li Yao knew what this was. There was a small syringe hidden inside. The highly toxic substance inside was undiluted energy potion. Ordinary people had limited tolerance, and their data before death would also be part of the research.
After they put it on, they heard a clicking sound and they couldn't take the bracelet off.
Gray raised his hand: "As a security guard here, your life does not belong to yourself." He had the same bracelet on his wrist.
Many people panicked after hearing this. Gray said, "There is a small syringe inside. It contains a highly toxic substance, but don't be afraid. As long as you follow the work system, nothing will happen."
Li Yao looked at the bracelet on her wrist. She didn't care. When she was alone, she would use her supernatural power to take it off and have a look at it.
The six people selected this time were taken away individually by Gray.
It would be a waste for six of them with their abilities to serve as patrolmen on the periphery.
The reason for the ten-minute condition is to discover talents, and capable people are responsible for more important places.
"You six are responsible for different positions. Today, I and a few other captains will lead you."
Gray looked around and kept Li Yao and the first one.
Gray looked at them and said, "From today on, the two of you will follow behind me to get familiar with the work. When I think you can act independently, you can be in charge of an area by yourself."
Li Yao didn't know how big the research institute was, but she later used her special abilities to discover that there might be several floors underground.
She was the one who stayed in the institute the longest among all the experimental subjects, and she had not been to all places.
After it was discovered that her body could perfectly integrate the energy potion, she was kept in solitary confinement, and her every move was observed except for bathing and going to the toilet.
The first superpower she awakened was water-related, which made the people in the research institute very happy. They cultivated her water-related superpowers over the next two years.
Since she can succeed, there will be people who can succeed in the future and awaken the power of thunder and lightning.
Later, more people awakened one after another, and the research institute put the awakened people together. At first, everyone was wary of each other, but after several tests, those who awakened the power of thunder and lightning became more arrogant.
Li Yao has always been a marginal figure in that group. She is beautiful and quiet, and never interacts with others.
But these people didn’t know what Li Yao’s abilities were. They only knew that this beautiful woman had been here before they came, and that the director attached great importance to this woman.
Li Yao is the person who has been injected with energy potion for the longest time among all those who have awakened superpowers. She has been able to hide her abilities long ago. If she hadn't been wearing an energy ring containing a large amount of drugs, she would have escaped long ago.
She tried to escape more than once, but failed every time. Because of her special nature, the director always looked at her as if she were an unreasonable child, which made Li Yao feel sick.
Later, the man with lightning ability wanted to use force on Li Yao, but his lightning was not even enough to tickle Li Yao's eyes.
Her mild water-based ability turned into ice-based ability when she fought with that man. If the researchers had not injected her with anesthetic, the man who provoked her might have turned into an ice sculpture and died.
In the face of absolute power, everything is empty.
Now Li Yao has become a security guard in the research institute. Sometimes one has to say that fate is a very strange thing.
Now Li Yao and Ge Rui are familiar with the places they patrol every day.
With her was Ke Rong, who tried her best to please Ge Rui, but when she glanced at Li Yao, she looked disdainful, as if Li Yao was some lowly thing.
Li Yao was not surprised at all. A man with such great skills as Ke Rong had been praised by countless people after the apocalypse. Now he was number one, so arrogant that even Gray might not accept him.
Li Yao believes that as long as Ke Rong doesn't bother her, she and Ke Rong will have nothing to do with each other.
Gray also noticed the dislike between the two, mainly because Ke Rong looked down on Li Yao, but Gray always felt that Li Yao was not that simple.
The man who fought against Li Yao was trained by him and was considered the best among that group of people.
He is in charge of the entire selection. If Ke Rong meets that person, he may not get first place.
So Gray felt that Ke Rong's first place was exaggerated, and Li Yao's sixth place was better than the first place.
They followed Gray to the laboratory and introduced Ke Rong and Li Yao to the director of the institute: "These are the ones selected today. They are both good. They may be responsible for your safety in the future. I will bring you to meet them."
Li Yao had often seen this director in her previous life. He was the right-hand man of the director of the institute.
Jin Rong smiled and said, "The people selected by Director Ge must be good."
Ge Qing said: "I'll have to trouble Director Jin to give me permission for an hour so I can take them in to familiarize themselves with the game."
Seeing that both of them were wearing bracelets from the research institute, Jin Rong readily granted them access.
Gray said, "You two follow me closely."
