Chapter 2: Silver Watch
"Hey, if this kind of thing is discovered, you will be arrested!"
"Wait, I got it!" Zhou Ruoling's eyes lit up, obviously realizing something great. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You're an Awakened too, aren't you? I just said, how can ordinary people live alone in the ruins of a city full of zombies and wild beasts? ”
"Sort of." White Night nodded.
"Do you have an ability?" Zhou Ruoling asked.
"Abilities? It doesn't seem to have any abilities, except for jumping a little higher and running a little faster......"
"Well, that means it's just the first awakening......"
Zhou Ruoling was a little disappointed.
The so-called "awakened" is a new term that only appeared during the Holocaust after the outbreak of the Z virus.
While the Z virus swept the world, creating a large number of zombies and wild beasts, it also changed the genes of a small number of people, and these people began to have great strength and various special abilities, collectively known as the "Awakened".
The Awakened are divided into "First Awakening", "Second Awakening", and "Third Awakening".
After the initial awakening, the Awoken will possess superhuman speed, strength, and physique.
After the second awakening, the awakened will be divided into three types: "enhanced type", "super type" and "trait type".
Enhanced is to strengthen a certain aspect of physical fitness, Super is to have some kind of superpower related to combat, and Trait is to have some special ability that is not related to combat.
Enhanced secondary awakening generally focuses on a certain aspect of ability.
For example, after a power-type awakened person awakens for the second time, his strength is often dozens or even hundreds of times that of the first awakening, but there is no such disparity in other data except strength.
In Zhou Ruoling's view, Bai Ye did not emphasize a certain aspect of his special ability, and he must have only awakened for the first time.
Zhou Ruoling herself is a super-energy awakened person, her ability is "spiritual power", and the cyan translucent long sword is a weapon condensed by spiritual power.
Zhou Ruoling took out a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator very well and took two sips.
"So, can I stay here for a few days?"
"No, you can't!" Bai Ye flatly refused.
"Why?"
"Number one, there's only one bed here. Second, I like to live alone. Thirdly, you can go to a nearby military base to live. Bai Ye said.
"I can sleep on the couch! Come on, the beds at the military base are all hard beds, and there are no snacks or drinks at all? Zhou Ruoling put on a pitiful expression.
Although these small and medium-sized cities were abandoned, they basically retained garrisons and existed as outposts.
Some of the Awakened on missions, regardless of the organization they belong to, as long as they do not have a serious criminal record, can borrow in military bases, which is explicitly stipulated by the World Government.
After all, in order to complete the task, the awakened often go deep into the wilderness, and it is not easy to find a place to live.
However, of course, the living environment of the military base is not much better, after all, the military people do not have high requirements for the enjoyment of material life.
"Please, I'll stay for two days, three days at most! You can't bear to let me sleep on the streets, do you? For my sake, let me borrow it for two days!" Zhou Ruoling continued to put on a pitiful expression.
Bai Ye rolled his eyes and thought, "Obviously, you cut down the pet I finally met, okay?" ”
However, Bai Ye thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you can stay." But! Don't mess up my living room! Also, don't drink too many drinks in the refrigerator, they were all brought back from Hanhai City with all my hard work! ”
(Hanhai is the closest central city to here.) )
"Yay! Great! Zhou Ruoling said happily.
Bai Ye reluctantly glanced at the snacks and drinks in his refrigerator, feeling that they were going to suffer.
Six o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Ruoling looked at the rows of various books on the shelves, and his mouth opened into an O-shape.
"Can't you see, you're still a scholar, huh?" Zhou Ruoling said.
“…… Just pass the time. Also, please don't mess with my stuff. Bai Ye was in the kitchen, talking as he cooked.
"I still find it unbelievable, there are no housekeeping robots, not even an antique dishwasher, and I don't have any friends. How the hell did you survive in this city? Zhou Ruoling said while flipping through the book.
Zhou Ruoling's surprise was justified.
In this day and age, all the housework is done by robots, and the lifestyle of cooking and washing the dishes by yourself like White Night is almost like living centuries ago.
It's like a modern person in the 21st century, growing his own vegetables and raising his own chickens.
“…… If I have to say it, it's probably because I'm more withdrawn. ”
Bai Ye put two dishes on the table and served two more bowls of rice.
One meat and one vegetarian are all very ordinary dishes, but Zhou Ruoling eats them with relish.
"You're a great cook! How long has it been since I've had a normal meal? Let me do the math...... It's been almost a month! Zhou Ruoling said while picking up rice in her mouth, without any image of a lady.
Bai Ye eats very casually, and is a little picky.
"Ah, yes! Turn on the TV! Zhou Ruoling said.
Whether inside or outside the city, there are people fighting the beasts almost all the time. Most of the battles around the center city will be filmed or live-streamed for viewers to know.
The scene of some powerful beasts being defeated can give the people a sense of security, and the instant warning of beasts can also avoid some unnecessary civilian casualties.
On the screen, a black dragon that is seven or eight meters tall is spewing flames wantonly. The flames burned, the vehicles on the road burst into flames and exploded, and the pedestrians fled the road, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Although these large cities are heavily guarded, there are still occasional individual powerful desolate beasts that break through the particle barrier and cause great damage.
Suddenly, a woman in a red feather coat appeared on the roof of a building not far away. In her left hand, she held a recurve bow more than two meters long, opened her bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow directly hit the black dragon's right eye!
The black dragon let out a deafening roar and flapped its wings to take to the sky, but soon the second arrow arrived, nailed to the tail of the first feathered arrow with unmistakable accuracy!
The first feathered arrow pierced the brain with a powerful thrust, piercing the black dragon's head entirely!
"Ling Yu, the A-rank hero of [Silver Watch], is really powerful!" Zhou Ruoling said while putting rice in his mouth.
"Silver Watch?"
"Hey, are you lacking in common sense to this extent? I don't know if I don't know the Hunter Alliance, I don't even know Silver Watch? Zhou Ruoling was speechless, "You obviously have a TV here, don't you watch the news?" ”
“…… Well. Bai Ye nodded.
"Well, that's a defeat for you. To put it simply, after the outbreak of the Z virus, a coalition government of countries around the world formed an organization of the Awakened to deal with similar special events such as the attack of the wild beast. ”
"It's called the Silver Watch."
"Inside the Silver Watch, there are five levels of heroes from D-level to S-level, and the one you just saw wearing red clothes is one of the A-level heroes of Silver Watch, called Ling Yu."
Zhou Ruoling introduced while eating.
"Speaking of which, your Hunters' Alliance is still a pheasant organization." Bai Ye said.
"Poof! What to say you! Zhou Ruoling almost squirted out his food, "The Hunter Alliance is independent of the World Government, the largest Awakened Organization in the world, and its strength is stronger than Silver Watch!" ”
"Hmm, what's the difference?" Bai Ye asked nonchalantly.
Zhou Ruoling shook her head helplessly, looking "You are really incurable".
"There are so many differences. The Silver Watchmen are subordinate to the World Government, and they are considered the guardians of humanity, mainly responsible for dealing with the desolate beasts or high-ranking zombies that attack the central city. ”
"The Hunter Alliance, on the other hand, doesn't follow anyone's orders, and its internal structure is very loose. Hunters are pioneers who are primarily responsible for exploring dangerous areas of the world, making it their mission to hunt wild beasts. ”
Bai Ye nodded: "I understand." So you're here for a mission, right? ”
