Chapter 122 Doomsday 20 Trial
Lu Huai's skin there was extremely sensitive. Although there was a layer of clothing blocking it, he felt very uncomfortable being held like that.
When he looked up, he met Jun Mo's burning gaze, which was fixed on his lips as if seducing or inviting him.
Lu Huai felt uncomfortable and embarrassed, so he turned his head away, but saw Xiao Yuan looking at him meaningfully, wondering what he was thinking.
So I had to deliberately turn my gaze to the traces left by the long years on the wall.
Compared to a hot-tempered person, it seems that only by coming into contact with cool and quiet things can he feel at peace.
The two men were left staring at each other, their faces not yet clashing, but as if they had determined each other's presence was a threat. Their usual self-possessed manner had vanished, and their glances met like lightning, a flare of fire that ignited the air.
This anxious feeling really made all three of them feel uncomfortable.
Jun Mo and Xiao Yuan both knew that they had a common crush on each other.
They saw the guard holding a flashlight sweeping across a corner of the wall not far from them, and then everything returned to calm.
"Has the person left?"
Lu Huai struggled to pull himself out from between Jun Mo and Xiao Yuan, and suddenly felt like a shivering and weak piece of paper.
A gentle breeze might just blow it away.
Xiao Yuan wanted to speak, but Jun Mo was afraid that Lu Huai would give him the opportunity to feel secretly happy again like before, so he took the initiative to interrupt his spell.
Xiao Yuan pushed it away helplessly with one hand and waved his other hand to show that he had no intention of "leaking the secret".
"Gone"
He uttered these two words slowly with his lips, and his appearance seemed a little pitiful to Lu Huai.
"Then let's go." He had been in this awkward position for a long time, so after looking around to make sure that there was no one in sight, he and the other two psychics followed closely in crossing the alley in the dead of night.
Xiao Yuan seemed to know something. After the two of them walked for a distance, he turned back and fiddled with it at a certain angle for a while. When Lu Huai looked at him in confusion, he explained gently.
"Meng Er is more cautious. I noticed there was something similar to a camera here, so I processed its circuit."
"Thank you..." Lu Huai replied politely.
Jun Mo gritted his teeth and didn't appreciate his kindness at all.
The two of them sent Lu Huai to his original residence. Indeed, the young man was very efficient and the room had been renovated.
However, considering Meng Er's special habits, Jun Xiao and the others checked it out of concern and made sure there were no cameras before leaving.
Mo Chengze had anticipated that Jun Mo, his good roommate, would help him achieve his goal.
In order to avoid suspicion, he did not show up at the first time, but he was still kind enough to call two other annoying teammates for his Xiao Huai.
So Lu Huai opened the door and had to grope his way around the dark room.
But suddenly a hand clamped his wrist.
"Ah!" Lu Huai screamed in surprise subconsciously, but the hand pulled him into the arms.
"Hey! It's me, Huaihuai!"
The voice with a tone of grievance turned out to be Jian Sui'an!
At the same time, a familiar cold face appeared in front of him with the sound of a switch.
Lu Huai was surprised to find that Jian Suian and Jiang Fengnian were predicted to appear in his house.
This wave is really unexpected.
Jian Sui'an was the kind of person who was very expressive. He hugged Lu Huai's slender waist tighter than Jun Mo did, almost making Lu Huai breathless.
But he looked at the joyful Jian Sui'an with gentle eyes and heard him say, "Great! You're finally back!"
Although Jiang Fengnian looked like he really wanted to kill someone who was occupying his space, he didn't ruin the atmosphere.
"Welcome back!"
Thinking of the consequences, Lu Huai's mood dropped after being moved: "Will I cause trouble for everyone..."
"Don't worry, Ah Huai, everyone is very happy that you are back."
Jiang Fengnian, however, was a rational and pragmatic person. He immediately asked, "So, what are your plans next?"
"I want to join everyone on the front lines to fight the enemy. I heard that the zombies are getting closer and closer to us, right?"
"yes"
Jian Sui'an sighed. He didn't need the base to constantly update the latest situation and route map. He could probably sense everything on his own.
"well···"
"That energy is constantly growing, and its forward momentum is not slowing down at all."
"I used to have absolute faith in us humans, but after what happened last time, and now, I feel a little lost."
But he, they can't lose.
He also wants to live with the one he loves until the haze dissipates and the sun rises.
Jian Sui'an seemed to have something else to say, and Lu Huai noticed that he was giving him a long look.
Jian Sui'an held back his confession and didn't say it out loud, but he took out his treasured little drawing notebook and changed the subject to talk about the current situation:
The leader of the zombies seems to have very strong perception ability, and the trajectory of their movement is very regular and purposeful.
Step by step, they integrated the scattered ones into a larger group and pointed their swords directly at the central base.
It was as if they knew that this was the base camp and destiny of the human survivors.
The zombies that have not been eliminated yet are still wandering in every corner of J City, but recently they seem to have received a call from afar, as if they have been inspired by something.
"Do you want to come to our selection?"
When Lu Huai heard his invitation, his eyes suddenly lit up again.
———————
The current situation is not optimistic, and expanding reserve forces has become a top priority for war preparedness.
Lu Huai learned that this scout raid had destroyed nearly 80% of the external defenses that everyone had previously built with great hope, and had also successfully created a certain amount of panic.
The most terrifying thing is that the belief in absolute safety is collapsing, and the reconstruction procedures become extremely difficult.
Those ordinary people who are as docile as sheep are no longer satisfied with living in the residential areas outside. They dream almost every day of being eaten by zombies.
He began to use all his strength to get into the base - the residences of people with special abilities and the rich and powerful.
For this, they are even willing to sacrifice their personality and dignity.
During the inspection, some civilians who had warmly welcomed the arrival of the leader and were full of hope lowered their heads in despair, trying to hide the brand of "slave" maliciously carved on their cheeks.
But how could such a subtle action be hidden from a psychic whose eyes and ears are sharper and whose five senses are much more acute than those of ordinary people?
This kind of inhuman reality made Mr. Xiao almost unable to bear to watch it anymore. Xiao Yuan, who was beside him, supported him with an extremely serious expression.
But he had to stand up to give everyone confidence and stabilize the morale of the troops. He could only face everything calmly and firmly and appear to be the most calm.
Only Xiao Yuan understood his anxiety.
Every day, seriously injured psychics are carried back for treatment on stretchers, and the situation on the front line is obviously bleak.
It was completely different from when they first arrived at the base, when they were all full of energy and anticipation.
The bloody scene was played out almost every day.
At this moment, the team members were watching the blue figure walk into the trial field which was tightly sealed by the iron gate.
Her long black hair was combed into a neat high ponytail, and the hair was smooth. It was not difficult to imagine how lazy and lazy she would be when it was let down.
The point is that this candidate was quite unexpected.
Not only did he pass the previous written and strength tests, he even surpassed the excellent seeds originally cultivated by various forces, which was truly jaw-dropping.
Lu Huai's sudden rise has aroused the curiosity of many people.
Therefore, not many people paid attention to this dangerous scene before, but today, inexplicably, people surrounded it in three circles inside and three circles outside.
The protagonist has arrived, but he is extremely unexpected.
The long-awaited person who created several limits in one go is actually the most delicate and beautiful newcomer among those who came to participate in the assessment.
One can't help but doubt whether those not-so-strong shoulders can bear the energy that is almost equivalent to 120 TNT.
The burly man, who was originally brandishing a mimic axe, lost his agility when he saw his opponent was a petite and handsome boy. He couldn't help but jokingly said:
"Are you kidding me? Wasn't someone waterproof during the previous strength test? Why didn't they meet my standards? Why did such a skinny beauty come? Are you sure we didn't get the wrong person?"
"I'm too embarrassed to use all my strength to fight like this!"
Although Jian Sui'an, one of the examiners, should have avoided suspicion, he couldn't help but retort on behalf of Lu Huai, who had a dull expression:
"Judging people by appearances isn't a good virtue. You can be complacent now, but there will be a lot of zombie samples inside later, so don't run out crying!"
"you!"
The big man was also a little irritated. After all, in his eyes, he was just stating the facts. How could he be "educated" by others? This "education target" was even a young boy.
But when he saw the examiner badge hanging on his chest, he immediately became as obedient as a quail and dared not act rashly again.
When the time came, he and Lu Huai walked into the martial arts field and began their assessment.
In order to hone those with special abilities and select the true elites.
The Central Base is well aware of the principle of "no tiger training, no tiger cubs". The training grounds are full of real zombies, and they even take measures to feed mutant beasts in order to preserve their bloodiness.
However, people with special abilities are an important asset of the base, and we cannot sacrifice them like raising insects just to select the best.
Secondly, we cannot just let a large group of unstable factors disturb the people's hearts, so these zombies are also used as samples for zombie virus research, although the serum has not yet been fully developed.
But thanks to the efforts of Dr. Zhai's team, the spread of the virus among the zombies here has been blocked, which means that even if the psychics are injured, they can still survive after receiving treatment.
The base encourages everyone to participate and provides a full range of healing services for people with special abilities, so Lu Huai can still see that besides himself and the big man, the other three candidates are also ready to go.
No one was afraid of this battle with the zombies.
He took a deep breath and heard 0359 shouting "Come on!" in his sea of consciousness.
My confidence, which was already pretty good, became even stronger.
"I will!"
Lu Huai also sent a message back.
He nodded to Jian Sui'an and Jiang Fengnian, who had worry in their eyes but made affirmative gestures to encourage him, as well as Liu Jingyan, who came to serve as a medical soldier and looked at him intently without blinking.
Then he walked into the venue.
Afterwards, the entire gate of the venue was completely exposed, leaving only the latest tempered glass to see through everything inside.
The zombies were extremely excited when they smelled the scent of flesh and blood.
They immediately stopped huddling together tightly and started to attack the few psychics with a purpose.
Apart from the inactivation of the virus, the disgusting and hideous appearance had not been rescued at all, so when Lu Huai got closer, he could still see the half-detached ribs on the chest and the rotten internal organs inside.
The stench lingered at the tip of the nose, almost making this sense dull.
But it’s just the beginning.
Lu Huai paid close attention to his surroundings. The time he had spent in City Z had played a significant role in this. In addition, after coming to the base and gaining experience fighting zombie rats, his combat awareness had indeed improved qualitatively.
The feeling of having your own safety in your own hands and no longer being controlled by anyone else is truly fascinating.
For the first-level zombies, nine out of ten times they can be dealt with by using icicles and area-of-effect freezing attacks.
When the mutated agile zombie attacked, although Lu Huai was not as fast as the opponent, he used the ice blade condensed in his hand to block it and dodged it smoothly.
The icicles are like countless tiny blades, seemingly thin but extremely sharp.
The blow was a fatal one, hitting the roaring zombie in the fatal spot.
The familiar scene immediately evoked memories of the witnesses on the day of the zombie rat invasion.
"He's the one?"
People who didn't know the situation asked him, "Who is this?"
The person who first raised the question, with eyes full of longing and admiration, replied: "It's that 'Snow Demon'."
On the day when the rat tide attacked, it was too sudden and unexpected, and the ground was occupied by air force, so it was very difficult to provide support.
At the beginning, apart from Jiang Fengnian and several other team members who were on the mission, only the few psychics stationed on the periphery could be considered to be at ease.
Others find it difficult to protect themselves.
But I never heard that some of these people had ice-type abilities and actually stepped forward against the flow of people and rescued many people.
Those people have always wanted to see their savior.
But unfortunately, everyone in the base had been speculating for a long time about the origin of this psychic, and almost no one was familiar with this newcomer with considerable strength.
But in the battle the day before, almost everyone who had seen it kept this memory deep in their hearts.
The hardship and suffering after the disaster really trapped them for a while, but the people in the base had seen a lot of things.
The broken windows in the outer circle are like lost eyes. Although unwilling, they can only lie quietly in the wreckage and sleep deeply.
The remains of the victims were collected, and to prevent them from turning into undead corpses that would swing their knives at their companions, they were completely destroyed with a fire. After a period of sadness, everything had to return to normal track.
Death is the norm, and most people choose to accept the departure of their loved ones, pick up their spirits and continue living one day at a time.
So someone secretly broke the silence and gave a special nickname to the ice-type mutant and the beautiful evil spirit who was fighting the rat tide that day.
It is beautiful and has some indescribable meaning of the namer, so it is called "Snow Demon".
But what is disappointing is that some people could not forget him at first sight and asked around afterwards, trying to find out the name of this person with special abilities, but no one could respond, not even someone who had seen him.
Today, this person with superpowers finally unveiled his mysterious veil and revealed his true appearance, which really caught those who had been searching for him off guard.
It turns out that he is the "Snow Demon".
It really is... a huge surprise.
But Lu Huai was walking out of the venue, exhausted, with everyone looking at him with either astonishment or envy.
The voice of the uninvited guest was heard, and Lu Huai's good mood disappeared immediately.
Meng Jingtang applauded and gave his evaluation: "Very good performance."
"That's Ah Huai, have you forgotten what we agreed on?"
Lu Huai's face turned pale. The blood color that was not taken away in the previous battle showed signs of fading now.
The white-haired young man sitting in the wheelchair had no one accompanying him at the moment, and seemed too weak to pose a threat.
In fact, the person he intended to communicate with was very clear, and no one dared to obstruct his expression.
Those ink-black eyes stared at Lu Huai, especially the clothes of different colors that she couldn't wait to change into as soon as she left him. She spoke in an elegant and lingering tone:
"It's a good thing that you want to contribute to the base. But why didn't you tell me before?"
Combined with the name he said and the ambiguous words in it when you look closely.
Everyone immediately recognized the identity of this beautiful candidate.
Isn’t this Assistant Lu?
Why don't you stay in the golden cage, but instead come out to be exposed to the wind and rain?
Some people don't understand this.
