Yin Jing, Yin Shangwen and Jiang Xihua jumped out of the car carrying several important luggage.
Zhou Chongxian turned a corner and drove the car towards the monster covered in scaly armor.
The roar of the engine.
A few black birds were startled in the sky above the jungle.
It also serves as a reminder to all creatures with hearing.
The child playing in the mud raised his head, and the monster covered in scales turned around, and both of them noticed the speeding car at the same time.
Toyota Prado has excellent off-road performance and a sturdy body.
As it picks up speed and comes towards you.
What it brings is a strong sense of oppression.
The children playing in the mud ran away in a hurry, but the monster covered in scales did not avoid them at all.
This lizard-like monster stretched out its hands and faced the speeding car without avoiding it at all.
"Bang!" A loud noise came suddenly.
The lizardman was not knocked away as expected, but his feet rubbed against the mud ground, leaving two long marks before slowly stopping.
The front part of the vehicle sank where it touched the Lizard Man's hands. It was a deformation caused by the huge impact force and huge pressure.
Fortunately, the vehicle's overall shock absorption and anti-collision performance were good, and the airbags popped out in time to protect Zhou Chongxian in the car, so he did not suffer any injuries.
Seeing this, the lizard man was about to do something.
But he felt a sudden chill at the back of his neck, with waves of cold air rising there.
Before it could think about anything, the cold gun barrel was already pointed at its neck, and the trigger was pulled without any hesitation.
At such a close distance, the lizardman's neck was instantly broken in half.
Next came a long knife.
It penetrated from the back of the neck like a hot knife cutting through butter, and stabbed out from the front of the lizardman's neck.
This made its head droop and its whole body collapsed weakly, lying on the dented hood of the car without moving.
Behind it.
Yin Jing, who was holding a small liquid nitrogen tank, and Jiang Xihua, who was holding a modified gun, breathed a sigh of relief.
This little collaboration needs almost no explanation.
After spending so much time together, Jiang Xihua has already developed a tacit understanding with several of his teammates.
Yin Shangwen silently wiped the blood that splashed on his hands when he used the knife.
Zhou Chong first attracted attention and wrestled with the car, and the three of them came around to launch a sneak attack. This whole set of actions can be said to be smooth and neat.
Without any further ado, they pulled the knife out of the monster's body.
He came to the car door and used the long knife that was mixed with meteorite material to quickly open the door.
After pulling the unconscious Zhou Chongxian out and making sure he had no obvious injuries, the expressions of several people finally relaxed.
"Huh, what's wrong with this monster? It can wrestle with an off-road vehicle?!"
Jiang Xihua looked at the monster's body lying on the hood of the car, murmured in shock.
Putting aside the humanoid appearance covered with scales, the terrifying power is simply shocking.
“Perhaps, this is related to the extraordinary.”
Yin Jing confirmed Zhou Chongxian's vital signs while answering Jiang Xihua's questions.
Although they had been pursuing traces of the supernatural for a long time, this could actually be considered the first time they had encountered real signs of the supernatural.
"In fact, there is also the possibility of genetic mutation. Maybe this is a monster created by some scientific means and has nothing to do with the extraordinary?"
Jiang Xihua approached the monster's corpse, looked at the wound on the neck which did not bleed, and made a reasonable guess.
Then, Jiang Xihua turned around and stopped looking at the monster's corpse.
Instead, he squatted beside Yin Jing and said seriously: "Are we going to take this monster's body away?"
Although this monster looks fragile.
But it is definitely good material and may be of great help to their goal of exploring the extraordinary.
While the two were discussing, Yin Shangwen brought the child who had just run away to his side.
"Kid, don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Yin Shangwen frowned and stared at the child with a scary expression.
They couldn't kill the person to silence him, so they could only scare the child, who might be from a nearby village.
"Forget the monsters we met today!"
"Forget everything that happened today!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Yin Shangwen looked serious, trying to intimidate the seemingly underage child in front of him.
"But I probably won't have the chance to talk nonsense everywhere."
The child pointed around.
Yin Shangwen looked over in confusion.
This one glance made his hair stand on end for a moment.
"What the hell?!"
A black bird flew past in my peripheral vision.
And in the center of his vision, he can see it clearly.
Monsters covered in scales appeared in the surrounding jungle at some point, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't really see them.
A rough count shows that there are at least thirty or forty of them.
This made Yin Shangwen swallow his saliva.
When did they appear around? Why didn't I notice them at all? Just now, a few people took advantage of the opportunity to kill one, and now there are thirty or forty of them. What should I do? An urgent sense of crisis surged in my heart.
Yin Shangwen didn't think that these monsters approaching silently were coming to play house with him. Now everyone's situation has become dangerous.
Complex thoughts kept flashing through Yin Shangwen's mind.
Jiang Xihua, Yin Jing, who were squatting on the ground, and Zhou Chongxian, who had just woken up, heard the swear words that came out of Captain Yin Shangwen's mouth, and they all looked in the direction of Yin Shangwen's gaze in confusion.
And this one glance made the three of them feel a chill in their hearts.
Zhou Chongxian widened his eyes, and at that moment he felt that the way he woke up might be wrong.
Jiang Xihua widened his eyes in disbelief.
Where did all these monsters come from?! Why didn't he notice them just now? When did he become so old and blurry-eyed and let down his guard to this extent?!
Or does this monster actually have some means of concealing its body?
All kinds of unreasonable thoughts flashed through my mind.
But after a moment of doubt in his life, Jiang Xihua immediately stood up, grasped the gun barrel in his hand and walked to the side of Captain Yin Shangwen.
No matter what, the first thing to do now is to save your life.
Yin Jing looked at the bottle of liquid nitrogen in her hand and stood side by side with the captain in silence.
Zhou Chongxian also immediately got up, took out a gun from the car next to him and stood next to the captain.
A bottle of self-developed simple weapon that can spray frozen nitrogen for attack, two homemade simple rifles, and a long sword mixed with meteorite material.
Besides, the four of them had no spare energy.
The four of them looked tense and serious; they had suddenly found themselves in a desperate situation without realizing it.
This might be because they wanted to save people, but at this moment, everyone did not have any regrets in their hearts and still surrounded the child.
There is no point in talking more, just survive first.
………………………………
In a jungle in Yue State.
A Toyota Prado SUV sat motionless on a country road.
It was as if he had never collided with any lizardmen before.
In the car, all the members of SEEKER sat there leisurely and motionless, only the black ravens on their shoulders shook their heads from time to time.
Outside the car, Marlowe was leaning against the car, looking helplessly at the phone in his hand.
His adopted goddaughter was asking him when he would go back to visit next time.
Marlowe had no answer to this question.
It's really hard to take a vacation.
After he finished his vacation due to the incident on Wannai Island, he has been busy almost non-stop.
You know, after the spiritual network was officially set up and launched, all members of Yongri were busy for a while trying to capture the believers of the Abyss.
Moreover, I was assigned to the Southeast Asia branch, which means I can't go back in the short term.
"Once this mission is over, maybe it won't be long before I can relax a little."
Marlowe murmured, looking at the four people in the car who were concentrating with their eyes closed and not moving, and smiled.
As a senior who was sent to guide these chosen ones to join Yongzhao, he was really looking forward to their joining to relieve his pressure.
And based on the information he got.
These four guys seem to be talented. Although they are ordinary people, they can sense the existence of Eternal Day and are on the road to pursue Eternal Day.
In this respect, he is even better than before.
Therefore, it is highly likely that these four guys will become his colleagues who share the pressure with him in the future.
Thinking of this, Marlowe looked at his raven expectantly: "Raven 114514, how far have those guys progressed in the illusion?"
Hearing this, Raven 114514, who was licking his fur on Marlowe's shoulder, replied, "They are struggling under the siege of the Lizardmen. The guy named Jiang Xihua has already rushed out to clear the way for his teammates..."
"I remember that the assessment in the Raven Illusionary Realm only required the selected person to see if he or she had the desire to help others, right?"
Marlowe raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.
Before Yong Zhou recruits people, a background check is necessary, and the ability and character of the selected persons have been screened.
Then use the Raven Illusion to screen again based on character.
However, this second batch of admissions seems to be a little different from his first batch.
"The new decision discussed by the leader and the vice president of the academy has included the spirit of daring to resist into the assessment of the illusion, so the content of the illusion has been extended."
Raven 114514 answered Marlowe's doubts.
No recruitment rules can remain unchanged.
Considering the need to reduce the workload of re-screening within Dawn Academy and the pressure on Everday members in the future, the top management of Everday has listed the spirit of resistance as a compulsory option before joining.
The spirit of resistance means that when facing a powerful opponent, you still have to draw your sword resolutely even though you know you cannot win. Even if you fall down, you will become a mountain or a ridge!
Even if you encounter insurmountable difficulties, you must face them bravely. Failure is not terrible, but what is terrible is the lack of courage to face it.
This is a quality that every member of Everday must possess.
The erosion of the abyss will only become more frequent and severe in the future. The current tranquility is only a temporary illusion.
They always need members who are willing to do something knowing it is impossible.
Hearing this, Marlowe nodded.
He naturally knew what it meant to do something knowing it was impossible and what the spirit of resistance was.
When facing Kun at the beginning, he was left alone to deal with it.
When faced with the flesh and blood monster, he resolutely took on the most dangerous job of flying the monster kite.
The future may become more and more dangerous, and those who join Everday must be aware of this.
While thinking, Marlowe suddenly looked inside the car.
I saw that the boy named Jiang Xihua had woken up and was groping himself up and down with a confused look on his face.
Apparently his illusion test was over.
Seeing this, Marlowe couldn't help but chuckle.
Jiang Xihua's reaction made him recall the past.
I remember when I died in the illusion, I was also confused when I suddenly woke up.
And heard Marlowe's laughter.
Jiang Xihua obviously came back to his senses from his confusion.
He looked at his unconscious companions around him, then looked at Marlowe who was looking at him outside the car, and it was obvious that he had vaguely realized something.
Jiang Xihua slowly got out of the car and came to Ma Luo's side.
Looking at the raven on Ma Luo's shoulder, and then looking at the raven on his own and his companions' shoulders, Jiang Xihua said after a moment's silence: "Just now, I seemed to have been torn into pieces by a bunch of lizard monsters."
He recounted his experience.
Obviously the pain is so real.
But why is he still alive now?
Why do all my companions seem unconscious, as if everything that just happened was just a dream?
This made Jiang Xihua look at the man in front of him with doubt.
He believed that he might be able to learn something from this man.
"Wait a little longer."
Ma Luo did not answer Jiang Xihua directly, but looked at the three remaining people in the car who were concentrating with their eyes closed.
He has to do more than just lead the way.
If the purpose is to lead the way, just using ravens is enough. The omnipresent forces of Eternal Day may even bring surprises to the chosen ones in the process.
It’s just that the situations of the four people in front of me are somewhat special.
Because it is rare for all four people to be qualified to be selected, the superiors simply let him come to supervise the whole process to ensure that there are no mistakes.
Not long after, the other three woke up one by one.
Marlowe looked at the reactions of the ravens above the people's heads and immediately realized that everyone had passed.
Looking at the four people in front of him who were vaguely wary of him, Marlowe finally spoke: "In fact, the illusion began when you saw the black crows flying past you."
"There were no children, and no lizard monsters."
Marlowe opened his mouth and explained the doubts of several people.
Without waiting for the others to react, Marlowe signaled the ravens on their shoulders to start the process.
I saw four ravens transform into golden light, and then condense into a sentence written in the air: [Eternal Daylight·Dawn Academy]
[Dean: Chen Sheng, the fourth generation leader of Yong Zhou]
[Dear Sir/Madam: We solemnly inform you that you have been admitted to study at Everday Morning Academy. ]
[If you agree to contribute your strength for the bright future of mankind, please silently agree. ]
[Vice President: Zhang Zihang]
This was a letter similar to an invitation letter, which made the four people, who were full of doubts, stop in their tracks.
"If you agree, we can continue."
"But as a bored senior passing by, I want to solemnly remind you."
"There's an abyss ahead!"
Marlowe said, smiling.
This sentence can be said to be a metaphor or a real statement of fact.
I just finished taking care of my elders and was discharged from the hospital. My mind is fuzzy and I don’t know what I’m writing.
If the plot is a bit boring recently, please bear with me.
I'll sort out what to write next tomorrow.
