Chapter 57: The Confusing
Yuan Xinran's initial false impression of Zeng Nan began with an exam. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to the daily training, the assessment of cultural courses in the military and guard reserves is also recorded in the personal comprehensive evaluation, but the proportion is not large, and all the written examinations together do not account for one-third.
Among them, the course on "Etiquette and Service Awareness when Military Guards Perform Tasks in the City" is purely a formality in the training camp classroom, and even the instructors do not think about it, let alone the students who only want to pass. But this one requires a closed-book exam, and there is a lot of content to memorize, so when it comes to the final test, almost everyone chooses to cheat to pass the test.
For this type of exam, the invigilator has always turned a blind eye. So in the examination room that day, Yuan Xinran found that almost everyone was searching for content and copying answers on the palm screen, except for her and the girl sitting next to her, and the girl was flying like a pen, writing answers without hesitation, obviously confident and well-prepared.
This is a serious and hard-working person. That was Yuan Xinran's initial impression of Zeng Nan.
All exams are completed and results are announced.
Yuan Xinran's written test and actual combat training results ranked high, which was the same as her expectations before the exam, which was a normal performance.
After paying attention to her results, Yuan Xinran naturally went to see who was in front of her, and then she found that the ranking of a trainee's results was very conspicuous.
Yuan Xinran's written test results are good, but someone is better than her, and all the written test scores have won the first place, but the trainee's actual combat results are very dismal, resulting in the final score of the comprehensive middle reach. With such a serious deviation from the ups and downs of the grade line, it is impossible to be conspicuous.
The trainee's name is Zeng Nan, and he even got a perfect score in the formal exam where most of the people cheated. Yuan Xinran's mind immediately appeared the appearance of the girl sitting next to her during the exam, and she knew that the girl must be Zeng Nan, not at all like a practical person.
Later, when Yuan Xinran became familiar with Zeng Nan, she realized that for a high-IQ student who could remember the content after watching it twice, cheating in such a simple written test was simply an insult to her own IQ.
Therefore, Zeng Nan's essence is not the hard work and hard work that Yuan Xinran thinks, but self-confidence and arrogance are her essence.
This is enough to explain many of Zeng Nan's behaviors.
For example, if no one asked, if he was in a bad mood, Zeng Nan would never think to explain why he did this.
Yuan Xinran was covered with a blanket, the blanket was close to her skin, and she could feel that all the external clothes on her body, including the equipment she carried, had been removed, except for her underwear.
Her limbs were not restrained, and there were no other sounds around her. She opened her eyes and sat up.
Looking around, Yuan happily found that Zeng Nan was quite considerate of him.
It is an enclosed space of about 100 square meters, with a dozen large glass jars placed against the wall, each containing a young woman.
These women all **** their bodies, their closed eyes and pale cheeks supplemented by the sound of life-sustaining equipment, indicating that their consciousness is in a deep coma. Through a layer of blurred glass, Yuan Xinran could see that these women were all hot and beautiful, and they were all rare beauties.
Yuan happily walked around the room wrapped in a blanket, and couldn't find a way to get out for the time being. She remembered what Zeng Nan had said, and then looked at these unconscious women, she couldn't help frowning in disgust.
There has to be a way to get out and then stop these women from becoming some hell tribute.
Just as Yuan Xinran used brute force to tear the blanket open to make simple clothes, a buzzing doorbell rang from outside the closed door, and a few seconds later, a figure floated in from the position of the door.
The person who came was Zeng Nan.
Yuan Xinran didn't even want to say hello this time, and continued to tear the blanket and tie the flannel to his body.
Zeng Nan watched for a while and smiled, "I used to think that it was very convenient for people with great strength to do things, I originally prepared some clothes for you, do you still want it now?" ”
Yuan happily stopped his movements and stretched out his hand, "Of course, where is it?" ”
Zeng Nan pointed to the door, "It's just outside the door, but before I open this door, I want you to promise me one thing." ”
Yuan happily sat back on the bed and wrapped his feet in a small piece of flannel, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Zeng Nan sat beside Yuan Xinran, her voice was soft, her expression was sincere, and she didn't have the guilt of attacking her friend half a minute ago, she pointed to the woman in the life-sustaining apparatus on the surrounding wall, and said:
"You see, now in the main city, except for these women, the other people who have escaped the net have been sent to other places by airships. I want you to work with them and protect them until they reach Noah. ”
"What task? Why Noah? ”
"You don't need to know, you just need to keep them safe."
"What are they going to do there? What did you mean when you said you were going to give them as gifts? ”
Zeng Nan frowned, a little impatient, "It's not safe in the city now, it's better for you to stay here and get out of the city." ”
Yuan stood up happily, "You also know the danger, so what should you do?" What to do with those who fainted in the square? ”
"We have the patronage of the Pope."
"It's all this time, what else can he shelter? The whole city fell, and that's how the Pope was sheltered? ”
"Yes." Zeng Nan said calmly.
Yuan Xinran was dumbfounded.
"You're not kidding, so the coma accident in the square was all the work of the Pope?"
Zeng Nan didn't reply, but Yuan Xinran had already got the answer.
She was furious and almost wanted to scold, "Is he crazy?" He stunned the whole city, what the hell was he trying to do? ”
Zeng Nan stood up solemnly, his fingertips filled with energy, his fingers turned into entities, and turned on the projector.
"You'll understand when you read that."
The image shows a large underground highway. Yuan Xinran was very familiar with that scenery, which was the only way to Noah, the city of machinery, and the last part of the journey. Yuan Xinran passes by here almost half of the time every year.
The underground road in the picture is very secluded, there are no travelers, no transport machinery, and no zerg. The surroundings were quiet, and there were no living creatures except for the glow of the fluorescent bacteria underground.
"What do you want to show me?" Although Yuan Xinran felt that this section of the road was a little unusually quiet, she had not yet seen anything strange.
Zeng Nan pointed to the picture and asked her to continue watching.
Finally, there was a living thing in the picture, and there was more than one.
Huge Zerg of various sizes appeared. The strange thing is that unlike the previous surging in groups, the zergs that appeared this time were all in pairs, one group after another, as if they were controlled by something, and crawled towards the gate of Noah.
Yuan Xinran has been wandering on the underground highway for so many years, and there are many Zerg in the picture who have seen it and many who have not seen it. Especially those zergs who are extremely large in size but have some similar racial characteristics have never been seen before. But soon, she recognized the attributes of these zerg from those reproductive organs.
These insects, which were extremely huge and Yuan Xinran had never seen before, were all queens of the Zerg who bred the next generation. Their job is to lay eggs and they never leave the nest from birth.
But now the mothers entered the gates of Noah in pairs with a strong male worm, just like ordinary human couples. What's even more peculiar is that there is only one pair of each type of zerg, and there is no third one.
These few but multi-racial Zerg were not hindered by any of Noah's origins.
Yuan Xinran saw those zergs enter the gate of Noah City all the way, and his heart was cold, and the mechanical defenses that Noah City was proud of were all invalid.
This is a wonder that Noah has never had in more than 100 years since the founding of the city.
Zeng Nan's tone was floating, "If you go to the underground highway now, you will find that you will never see any kind of insect again, not a single one." ”
"Why?"
"Because they were all killed, every Zerg died except for the breeders and partners. The last surviving ones to be close to the road to our main city should be dead by now. ”
Yuan Xinran had never liked those zergs, but the person who was able to accomplish such a feat in such a short period of time terrified her even more. After so many years of underground transportation, she knows how terrible those bugs are. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Ideal City, it has exterminated those zergs several times for energy extraction, but it has never been able to do so.
"Who killed them? Who manipulated them," Yuan Xinran pointed to the picture, "They entered Noah, why didn't Noah move at all?" Noah also fell? ”
Zeng Nan nodded, "Noah has already fallen, I heard that Maya is still resisting, but it should be soon." ”
Yuan Xinran felt chills in her heart when she heard this, she couldn't believe that the two major city polities had fallen silently like this.
Who the hell is it? Where did the forces come from to make such a big move?
There are five cities in New Enlightenment: Ideal City, Noah, Maya, Olympus, and Atlantis.
Maya, an agricultural city, and Noah, an industrial city, have been assigned to the Ideal City because of their early defeats. Atlantis is an undersea city that has been closed off from the rest of the country for more than 100 years, and now no one can enter or exit the country, and its unique defensive barrier makes it impossible for the outside world to explore the internal situation, and most people think that it is in ruins. Only Olympus remained, but Yuan Xinran, who had been there, knew very well that with the strength of the divided factions there, it was impossible to capture any city.
"Who the hell is it? What's going on? If it weren't for the great change, the Pope would never have stunned everyone with the celebration. Also, what are you trying to do when you go around arresting people? ”
Zeng Nan didn't answer, she manipulated the projector and converted the picture to another place.
This place was extremely familiar to Yuan Xinran, and every person from the main city of Ideal City had been here.
Holy Church Square.
In the picture, nearly 300,000 people lie motionless on the ground, and golden and fluorescent rain falls from the sky again.
Yuan Xinran couldn't help but walk in to take a closer look, she suspected that she was mistaken.
The nearest body in the picture has faint signs of crystallization. And there is more than one, almost all of them have a more or less bloom on their exposed skin.
Yuan Xinran gasped a few times, and she found that just now, she had unconsciously stopped breathing.
"W-what's going on?"
Yuan Xinran felt a feeling of suffocation rushing from his chest to his brain.
Zeng Nan turned off the projector, and his body returned to the virtual shadow again.
"This is how the Pope protects us, and only then can they be safe."
"! What kind of asylum is this? Deprive them of consciousness and crystallize them all? What kind of joke are you kidding! ”
Yuan Xinran was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, almost wanting to smash something to vent his anger.
Zeng Nan's expression was still very calm, and she floated directly in front of Yuan Xinran.
"As long as their bodies are fully crystallized, they will be able to become permanent soul guards, and there will be no more danger, no death, much safer than I am now."
"Nonsense! The Pope is crazy, and you are also unconscious? Do you think that's good? Yuan Xinran put his hand on Zeng Nan's shoulder, eager to shake her awake.
"The capture of Noah and the destruction of the Zerg were a group of outsiders with mechanical bodies and powerful weapons. How can you defeat them without creating more soul guards? How many of you guards? You're kidding. ”
"How do you know no? We don't even see the shadow of the enemy now......"
Zeng Nan curled the corners of his mouth, smiled and raised the index fingers of both hands, and crossed his fingers to point around.
Yuan Xinran finally came to his senses.
These airships are machines that belong to outsiders, and the soul guards on the airships have undoubtedly rebelled.
