Chapter 190 Chapter 190
At the base, Qingtong's life returned to the daily training routine.
There are physical training classes in the morning and ability training classes in the afternoon. The difference from the usual is that the physical training classes in the morning have more and more practical content, and later on they are no longer limited to fists and feet, but all kinds of cold weapons and even hot weapons must be learned.
According to the instructor, no matter what abilities the awakened person has, there will be many different situations they will have to deal with in the future. Learning one more method means one more chance to save their life.
In addition, driving skills such as driving a car and a motorcycle are also included in the curriculum. Compared with cars, off-road motorcycles are more maneuverable and applicable to more places, which are favored by instructors. If a car only needs to be driven, then a motorcycle must be able to play with it in many ways. It is the goal of the trainees' training to be able to move forward quickly and steadily on all kinds of rugged roads.
In the wilderness without asphalt roads, motorcycles are the best means of transportation.
Huang Tianzhen also complained that one day the instructor would fly a helicopter over to teach them.
Little did he know that his casual complaint would actually come true some time later in the future.
After all, some places may not even be accessible by motorcycle, and are uninhabited areas. In view of the possibility of the growth of strange existence, even in the wilderness, once the strange existence is determined to be a must-solve, it must be solved no matter how remote it is. In this case, helicopters are also a good means of transportation. If the destination is too dangerous for ordinary people to go, then helicopters are driven by the awakened themselves.
Another change is that in the afternoon capacity training class, those foreign awakened people are no longer there.
Just like Su Sanan said before, all the awakened ones who have learned the secret book have been sent back. Anyway, they stayed here to test the authenticity of the secret book, and the training and learning during this period is enough to prove this. And if there are foreign awakened ones who want to learn the secret book in the future, they can leave after learning it. The training base of China's weird response department is no longer open to foreign friends.
The daily schedule was very full, so Qingtong didn't pay attention to the vests for several days. After the training, he went back to the dormitory and fell asleep. It was not until the end of the week, when he took a half-day off on Sunday, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the report of the salvation system, among all the vests of Qingtong, the most honest one is the faceless child. He has been staying in the department of dealing with strange things in Heng City and has become familiar with the people there. The department members who were originally afraid of the faceless child's appearance have also become accustomed to her appearance, and some people even think that the faceless child is very cute. In addition, every time the faceless child goes out, he goes to solve the strange things that harm people and save people by the way. Heng City and other surrounding cities have a group of fans of the faceless child. Those people even dare to give candies to the faceless child when they meet him outside and ask for photos. However, the faceless child always ignores them after receiving the candies and lets them take pictures as they please, as long as they don't touch him. Many people commented that the faceless child is the closest person in the Lantern Organization.
Although they both look like children, people have very different attitudes towards the scarecrow boy Qin Xiaocao. After the last trouble, Qin Xiaocao was ordered by Qingtong to stay in the southwest region, but he never went out. He also listened to Qingtong's words to solve strange things and save people. But... the boy's attitude is terrible. He looks at every adult he meets with contempt. His attitude towards children is a little better, but that is only relatively speaking. Every time Qin Xiaocao saves someone, he will spray "waste", "trouble", "get out of here, or I will kill you". And when it comes to treating children, he always scares them, saying that if they don't behave, the scarecrow will eat them. Now there are horror stories about him in the southwest region. Some old people in remote areas will say to children, "If you don't go to sleep, Qin Xiaocao will catch you and turn you into scarecrows."
The first character trait of the Straw Boy is evil. Although his soul has neutralized it, he is not a good person in the end. Qingtong understands this.
Kailet and Utor did not cause any trouble in the Western Continent. They were quietly solving strange incidents and saving people. Qingtong did not pay much attention to them. However, Ariel, the shrieking banshee in the Sifan Kingdom, seemed to have a group of followers who believed in her and called her the daughter of the sea god.
Combined with Ariel's own background story, this name is also appropriate. The believers in the Western Continent are all quite crazy. Qingtong was worried that something might happen there because of their faith, so he asked the salvation system to check. Fortunately, there were not many believers, and they only covered three nearby towns.
Savior System: "They built a statue for Elle, but no church. The Western Continent is very free in terms of religious beliefs, so the host does not need to worry too much."
Qing Tong: "How can I not worry? Many wars in the Western Continent were caused by faith, especially fanatics. It's not surprising that they would do anything for their faith. Think about some religions in history. They believed in completely fictitious gods, but they would fight endlessly for the gods."
"In a strange world, life is getting harder and harder. The existence of faith brings salvation and miracles. Debuffs are simply piled up. I won't be surprised if someone comes with a banner and says 'Fight for the glory of XX' and starts a bloodbath!" Qingtong sighed, "You know, the harder life is, the stronger faith becomes. When you believe that survival is unfair, disputes will arise. Faith can be the cause of a war, but it can also be an excuse for a war."
Don't think that modern people will not fight because they are well-educated. The instinct to fight is imprinted in human genes. It was originally to ensure survival, but it may also bring destruction.
The Savior System: "Host, rest assured. This system has investigated and found that there are not many people who believe in Ariel, and they are all people who have been saved by Alice. They believe in Ariel because they have been saved, and they have no ambition to expand their influence or preach."
"That's good."
Then there are the insects in Japan. People there also set up an organization because they worship insects, called the Hundred Butterflies Society. However, they only use insects as a symbol of the organization. In essence, it is an organization established by awakened people to deal with strange things. They receive commissions from the public to solve strange incidents and receive rewards. According to the investigation of the salvation system, the top leaders of Japan defined the Hundred Butterflies Society as a private organization and left it alone.
"It doesn't look like there's any problem." Qing Tong stretched his waist. "Let the powerful monsters be dealt with by the insect traps, and the lower-level ones will be handled by the Ni country officials and the Hundred Butterflies Society there. It's the same for other places."
"Yes, host, there are no problems with the other vests."
"Everything is finally getting back on track." Qing Tong breathed a sigh of relief. "The awakened people from other countries have also returned after learning the secret manuals. Once they have completely mastered the power, the pressure from the vests will gradually decrease."
"By the way, host, this system has been investigating the generation of strange domains." The salvation system said, "Strange domains have appeared several times now. This system has found that before a strange domain appears, there will be a tiny fluctuation of strange power in the area. This system believes that this may be a precursor to the appearance of a strange domain."
Qingtong suddenly became alert: "So, can you now monitor the appearance of the strange domain in advance? If you can predict the appearance of the strange domain in advance and evacuate people in time, you can reduce a lot of casualties!"
"This is just a guess by this system. And that tiny strange force fluctuation is very light, and the date of its appearance is also unstable, but every time it appears, a strange area appears in the place after a period of time. This system believes that it is not a coincidence. So..."
Qing Tong narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "Are there any places now where the tiny strange force fluctuations you mentioned appear?"
"Yes, just now, the system detected a new subtle fluctuation of strange power. It is exactly the same as the fluctuation when the strange domain appeared before." The salvation system said, "It's just that the time when the strange domain will appear is uncertain. It may be half an hour later, or it may be a week later."
“But it’s bound to happen, right?”
"Yes, this system is 80% sure."
"What's the address?"
"Han Country."
Qingtong was stunned. They were actually in Han Country.
Han Country is located in the northwest of Ni Country, next to China. Because there are not enough vests, Qingtong left a few vests in China and only one in Ni Country after setting up the permanent residence of the vests. He completely ignored this small country. Anyway, it is located right between China and Ni Country. If a big problem really occurs, it will be in time to rescue either side.
Of course, if it is a low-level weird one, we can only rely on Han Country’s own people to find a solution. The vests are very busy and there is nothing we can do if they can’t take care of it.
But if it is a weird area, you can't pretend you didn't hear it.
The weirdness in the weird realm is all above level A. If allowed to grow, it can be very harmful.
"Let Shamon of the Invisible Son go." Qingtong said in a low voice.
The vests in the Western Continent cannot be moved, as there is already not enough help there. We can only look for help from within China. And if it is a difficult-to-deal-with strange territory, the strongest Shamon is the best.
"Host, Shamon has gone to the west of China and is solving a strange incident."
"Hmm? Then let's use paper figurines..."
"The paper man was involved in a strange incident in the area." The salvation system said, "Host, the only ones who can be dispatched now and can leave for a few days are Qin Xiaocao and Tong."
"No, let's change it." Qingtong frowned slightly, "Then let the insect cocoon..."
"Host, you can draw a new vest."
"Hmm?" Qingtong immediately opened the card drawing panel, "Can I draw cards again?"
"Yes, host, your several avatars have worked very hard and collected a lot of energy. You can start drawing cards the day before yesterday, but because the host is too tired, this system did not mention it."
Qingtong: ...
It's more than just being tired. The instructor is so inhumane. After a day of training, I don't even have the energy to take a shower. I just lie down on the bed and fall asleep.
Because of the intensity of this training, he almost regretted becoming an awakener and coming to the base.
"Okay, then let the new character go." Qingtong raised his hand to draw a card, and suddenly he thought of something. His eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
