Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 10. A capricious wave, untitled!
The dim sky, thick clouds, reverberating muffled thunder shuttled between the clouds, the lightning split the cracks in the road and added a touch of fierceness to the oppressive sky, mixed with the moisture of the earth and soil even made the breath a little suffocated, the feeling of rain but not falling, all the body was bound, it can be said that today's weather is the worst day in months.
But it was in this bad weather that it was the day when Zhang He and his adoptive mother Zhang Qiulian were mourned.
Due to the attack of human civilization by the abyssal beast, the end of the 21st century is completely an apocalyptic scene, and finally after entering the 22nd century, in the eyes of human beings who have gone through hardships, the concept of spiritual level has also undergone a qualitative transformation, and the religions and customs that have played an important role in the long history have also been mostly forgotten.
Except for the two Underworld Castles in Asia that still maintain respect for the dead, in the rest of the world, human beings will be cremated directly after death, and there will be no form of mourning at all, so that the dead will return to dust, dust to earth, and reintegrate into the nature of this world.
Zhang Luoyi, who was originally in the prime of his youth and was slim, was shrouded in plain clothes at the moment, his face was not powdered, his face was pale, his expression was sad and joyless, and his body looked extremely thin.
Obviously, for her recently, every day seems to be tormenting, and she is now holding a black and white photo frame in her left and right hands, walking on the empty field with an expressionless face, and the rhythmic wind around her adds a trace of silent sorrow.
It can be seen that she has just entered the age of 18 like Zhang He, and after suddenly losing the two most important relatives in her life, she must have had an extremely bad life, but she is trying her best to show her strength, which is not much a sadness, but it is also a kind of helplessness.
"Luo Yi, let me help you," Mu Xiaoxiao followed her side and said softly.
But Zhang Luoyi shook her head silently, and when she stopped and stood on a small hill in the wilderness, she said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Let me give them a ride at the end, this was once the favorite place for our family of three to come to stargazing, and we can finally end here and scatter their ashes, even if they die, maybe they will bless this land!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Luoyi stood the photo frames on the grass, while she sat in the middle of the two photos, opened the two metal boxes, and raised her palms high, with the breeze coming, the ashes slowly scattered in the air......
The picture at this moment seems to freeze time and space, the thin Zhang Luoyi sits on the ground, two sets of black and white photo frames silently accompany her, while she reaches out to scatter the ashes of her loved ones, a line of tears slowly crosses her cheeks, and a heavy sorrow silently fills the surrounding space.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who took a step back, clasped her hands tightly, and even had a hint of whiteness due to the force, she looked at Zhang Luoyi, and there was always an urge to tell her that Zhang He was still alive, but she also knew that whether it was for her future plans or for Zhang Luoyi's future safety, she had to keep it a secret.
But this feeling is really a harsh ordeal.
……
In the distance in a jungle, Zhang He was dressed in black, standing there with a blank face on his face, and all he could see was a distant hill and a figure like a black spot.
But the scene of Zhang Luoyi's ashes seemed to cross the limit of distance, clearly engraved in the depths of his heart, also under the sunglasses, a tear stain crossed his cheek, and then Zhang He turned around, with the cold dead silence of his whole body, walked to a black military-style off-road vehicle.
The moment he opened the car door, Zhang He stopped and stayed for a few seconds, perhaps in these few seconds, he completely drew a scarred end with the past.
Zhang He knows very well that when he sits in this off-road vehicle, he will also face another life of his own, and in that life, he will also be surrounded by crisis and hatred......
Silently glanced at Zhang He, who had already sat in the car, but Chi Jiufeng's heart twitched slightly, because Chi Jiufeng knew very well that it was he who used Zhang He's emotions to infinitely amplify the hatred in Zhang He's heart.
But it is undeniable that it was the original multiple-choice question that also reawakened Zhang He's dead soul, and this kind of Zhang He is what he needs in the future super devouring plan, but it is not what he Chi Jiufeng wants to see, at this moment, he felt a trace of guilt for Zhang He.
Maybe it was because they were driving in the wilderness and the surroundings were relatively quiet, or Chi Jiufeng didn't know how to speak first, in short, the two people who got in the car fell into silence for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, until he re-entered the streets of the city, Zhang He took the lead in breaking this atmosphere.
"What am I going to do next?"
Glancing sideways at Zhang He, Chi Jiufeng took out a small metal box from the side and put it on his lap.
Gently opening the box, Zhang He found that there were not actually a few things inside, but everything was deeply surrounded by fixed soft materials, showing their uniqueness and importance.
"This bracelet is the latest devourer stabilizer, but you also have auxiliary functions such as tracking and positioning and detecting signs!" Chi Jiufeng nodded at a small metal bracelet in the box and said.
Following Chi Jiufeng's instructions, Zhang He stopped his eyes on the bracelet, which was a very fashionable design, about three centimeters wide, and a lot of exquisite lines were depicted on it in order to be used as a cover for jewelry.
At the same time, near the pulse on the outside of the bracelet, there is a card slot that looks like a bullet, which is almost difficult to find if you don't remove it and look closely, and then, Zhang He picked up the metal test tube about the size of an ordinary bullet and looked at it.
"You should know that every once in a while, phagos need to adjust their own abnormal active cells by injecting stabilizers to keep themselves in a state where they can fight at any time, but your situation is a little special, this is a stabilizer tailored for you!"
"Tailor-made?" Zhang He asked suspiciously.
"Yes, through inspection, we found that the purity content of the alien source fluid you injected reached 60%, so that you gave birth to two kinds of alienated organs, that is, your eyes and bone marrow, this information is good information for us, but at the same time, before you, we don't have any information to refer to, after all, all the people who inject more than 20% of the safe content, you are the first to survive."
"Looks like there should be some additives in there that will reassure you, right?"
Hearing Zhang He's question, Chi Jiufeng was silent for a few seconds and then said: "It's not a top student of Azure Academy, there is indeed a disturbance element added to it, Mu Chen found that your unstable fury comes from your bone marrow ability, and the strange patterns and power born on your right arm are far beyond our known understanding, and they are unstable factors, so injecting this stabilizer will temporarily seal your bone marrow ability." ”
"But the ability of the eyes only has the ability to channel elemental changes, which means I'm a secondary devourer, right?"
"Although it will weaken your ability to fight head-on, but at this stage, this is a way to deal with it that will be more reassuring for both of us, at least in your case, Mu Chen also needs time to study!" Chi Jiufeng took a deep breath and explained.
However, when Chi Jiufeng's words fell, Zhang He directly buckled the Devourer Stabilizer on his left wrist, and then simply adjusted his comfort, and then looked at the other item in the box again, and didn't even say a superfluous defense from beginning to end.
Seeing Zhang He's behavior, Chi Jiufeng felt a little awkward in his heart, but he also relaxed a little, because he was trying to recruit Zhang He into the Devourer 748 Elite Team.
You must know that for soldiers, especially those in the last days, they have to go to the land of calamity to perform tasks for a long time, and under the life of licking blood from the knife edge, trust is no longer as simple as talking, but has become the most basic component of a team, but what Zhang He is facing now is completely inseparable from trust.
This feeling, Chi Jiufeng is actually very resistant to it in the bottom of his heart, but he is also helpless, because he knows very well that it is precisely because of the appearance of Zhang He that there is a more complete second version than the original superphagogue plan, so Zhang He's existence has become an indispensable and important factor in the future.
"What is this blindfold for?" Zhang He took out another item in the box and asked softly, which also interrupted Chi Jiufeng's thoughts.
Following Zhang He's words, Chi Jiufeng skimmed the equipment in his hand and said softly: "It is also a titanium weapon specially made for you, you should know that the titanium weapon device + Devourer Stabilizer is the most important equipment of the Devourer, and it is also the capital that the Devourer can fight against the Abyss Beast." ”
"But the titanium weapons should all be in the shape of weapons, right? Why am I wearing an eye patch? ”
Zhang He pinched it slightly, and it was indeed the same as the active metal he came into contact with when he was in school, which was much softer and more flexible than the conventional alloy material.
The reactive metal is the basic material of the Titanium Force, and it is also a necessary standard, because the reactive metal is the only metal that exists and is known to be able to conduct abnormal energy.
Gazing at the items in his hand carefully, Zhang He found that it was not so much an eye patch as a relatively simple hood, and the whole device was supported by standing on the outer contours of the ears.
At the back of the head, there is a metal bar that connects the left and right, and in the middle of the metal bar there is a row of small holes, near the temple there is a metal protrusion, and on each side there are camera holes that can map the virtual light source.
"You're not the first eater with alienated eyes, but there's no denying that eaters with alienated eyes are indeed very rare, so it's normal that you haven't seen them! When you're in a match, the device will project a virtual screen in front of your eyes, which will show you relevant combat data based on the target you are interested in in your field of vision, so that you can provide more effective guidance changes! Of course, it also has some auxiliary features, such as covering your face as much as possible! ”
Accompanied by Chi Jiufeng's words, Zhang He put it on his head, and then he felt that the back of his head was gently pricked by a row of fine needles, and after a few seconds, a very light vibration came.
In the next second, a virtual blue light screen was automatically projected in front of Zhang He's eyes, which clearly gave extremely simple information data on what he saw in his field of vision......
