Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 13. New roommates
The world behind the metal gate is not what Zhang He imagined......
There is no disciplined barracks atmosphere, only dozens of six-story buildings evenly distributed like ordinary communities.
There are no gates to be screened, not even soldiers to be on guard.
In particular, the greenery on the street can be called the singing of birds and flowers, and the greenery is full of greenery, which is even more abundant and professional than the green belt as a cover above, and more importantly, the sunshine in the sky.
Zhang He touched his skin, and he could clearly feel the blazing roast on his skin through the 'sunshine' on the top, even in the underground world, the temperature was not much different from the world above, and he couldn't feel any cold.
"The area we are in now is about 10,000 meters above the surface, and these rays of sunlight were inspired by the abyssal world where the abyssal beasts live! It's not electricity, it's pumping deeper lava, combined with fusion technology, and you can think of it as a miniature version of the sun! After speaking, Chi Jiufeng didn't forget to pat Zhang He's shoulder, as if to ease the silence just now, and deliberately pretended to be relaxed.
Feeling Chi Jiufeng's kind movements, the corners of Zhang He's mouth drew a slight smile in return.
In fact, Zhang He was not as depressed as Chi Jiufeng thought, although knowing the truth of the facts would indeed make Zhang He feel a trace of negativity in his heart.
But since experiencing a series of changes in his body, Zhang He has undergone a transformation, especially when encountering things, he seems to be more calm, and when he encounters a situation that subverts his understanding, he is also more likely to accept it calmly.
After all, even if Zhang He refuted and scolded loudly, what would it do to everything that had happened? Venting your frustrations? Lost in the past? You know, venting is just venting, and dissatisfaction is also about the past, and this emotion does not help your goals or even the future.
That is, when the glass room is silent, Zhang He's mind often recalls the bits and pieces of life with his adoptive mother Zhang Qiulian, she loves to read very much, so she often shares a lot of remarks worth remembering to herself, and he still remembers that there is a sentence that seems to describe his current self.
"Only when you control your emotions can you enter the world of adults, and the premise of maturity is self-discipline and self-control of emotions!"
Gently stroking the thin stubble on his chin, Zhang He sighed softly, "Yes, after experiencing this, I may be an adult in the true sense!" ”
Then, with the help of the blinding function on the blindfold, Zhang He stared at the artificial sun in the sky.
It was a hood about the size of an ordinary car, with only a ball about the size of an adult man, made entirely of magma, very similar to the real sun, and even spewing lava from its surface.
It is about 2 kilometers above the ground, which can provide light source and temperature, and around it are pipes made of black metal, which Zhang He has never seen before.
"The premise of the artificial sun's fusion technology is that a new material must be used to create a carrying platform, ordinary mineral metals cannot withstand this high temperature, and must be synthesized by the surface mineral of the source spirit crystal in the abyssal beast's body and the magma hotbed, and this new synthetic material is the main material in the source spirit cone that can break through your furious defenses."
With the words, Mu Chen walked to Zhang He's car, and after a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, two burly strong men suddenly drilled out beside him, holding Zhang He's arms one by one, and then Mu Chen waved the needle in his hand and took out at some point, and chuckled: "Don't be nervous, draw blood every day!" ”
Looking at the somewhat handsome director of the Halle Institute in front of him, but his eyes were obviously full of madness and scorching light, Zhang He couldn't help but wail in the depths of his heart.
Because since he came out of the medical cabin, almost every other day, Mu Chen came to draw blood for his own research, at first, he was more concerned about his emotions, and cooperated with the tone of discussion.
But after being silent several times, he actually began to inch in, directly drawing blood, and even this time, he was afraid that he would resist, and he prepared someone to hold him down.
"Relax Zhang He, haven't we cooperated many times? You can rest assured, after today, you will be able to easily at least 48 hours, eh...... It's been less than 48 hours, but at least you won't see me during that time! Mu Chen showed a sly smile while personally drawing blood from Zhang He.
Sighing helplessly, Zhang He didn't make any resistance, because as early as when he accepted Chi Jiufeng's invitation to participate in the Super Phagogy Project, Zhang He knew that there was a condition in it, which was to cooperate with Mu Chen to do biological research.
Zhang He also knew that he was the only human who could survive by injecting more than 20% of the safe standard alienation source liquid, and he also regained consciousness, and he knew what the entire Tario Council and even the Halle Institute wanted to get from him.
However, Zhang He didn't care about these, because his main goal in the future was to avenge his adoptive mother, and these so-called cooperation had already drawn the equivalent of paying in advance for revenge in Zhang He's heart.
It's just that when Zhang He swept his gaze to Mu Chen's side, he found another acquaintance, at least in his consciousness, after walking out of the medical cabin, his new life actually has few acquaintances, and Mu Xiaoxiao is definitely one of them, but her current dress is slightly different from the past few times.
The first time I saw Mu Xiaoxiao, she was dressed in a policeman's silver-gray uniform, with a cold and noble temperament, and with the smile on the corner of her mouth, she would always give people a feeling of warmth in the cold.
The second time I saw Mu Xiaoxiao, it was when she accompanied her little sister Zhang Luoyi to attend her funeral, that is, about two hours ago, she was wearing a black long dress, like a black tulip, exuding a kind of mystery and nobility in her bones.
Although Zhang He was only a distant glance, he still left a deep impression in his unintentional eyes, and the third time, that is, Mu Xiaoxiao who was standing behind Mu Chen in front of him.
Her original long hair was pulled up high, she was wearing a black and orange military uniform, her originally handsome and beautiful face was expressionless, and at the same time, her legs were spread apart, her arms were crossed at the back waist, her body was straight, and her whole body exuded a heroic spirit, reflecting the posture of women who did not let their eyebrows go.
"From today onwards, Mu Xiaoxiao will be your only roommate, because she knows everything about you, and she has also volunteered to apply to be transformed from a Strengthener to a Devourer!" Chi Jiufeng looked at Zhang He, then at Mu Xiaoxiao, and said softly.
However, Zhang He, who heard what Chi Jiufeng said, turned his head to look at Chi Jiufeng suspiciously, although Zhang He's face was wearing a half-face mask, Chi Jiufeng seemed to be able to feel the puzzled eyes under Zhang He's mask.
"Here, there is no so-called difference between men and women, here, there are only two identities, namely the eater and the alternative, so, don't be bound by the conventional morality of ordinary people, you are comrades-in-arms now, and you may even become teammates in the future!"
Hearing Chi Jiufeng's words, Zhang He refocused his gaze on Mu Xiaoxiao, and the two looked at each other for a while.
At this moment, on Zhang He's blindfold, Mu Xiaoxiao's body information is clearly displayed, in addition to all the girth data, it even includes her body temperature and muscle strength and other data, but these are not what Zhang He is concerned about.
Because Zhang He was attracted by a pair of serious and seemingly cold eyes, and more importantly, behind those cold and serious eyes, Zhang He actually saw a trace of heat from the depths of Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
At the same time, for Mu Xiaoxiao, the Zhang He in front of her really made her interested, because from the news revealed from her brother's words, she actually organized a lot of secret and important information through her policeman's logical thinking.
That is, from Zhang He's body, he should be able to study how to break through the limit of the devourer, and this limit is likely to help humans fight against the abyssal beast more effectively, and will the humans who can master the two abilities open up a new situation? Perhaps this is the consideration from above that has taken him in.
But no matter what, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he had changed a little when facing Zhang He, at least from the initial palpitations about his bumpy fate, to the current normal, even...... Expectations and interest in the future.
However, just as the two of them looked at each other, suddenly on the back of the off-road vehicle, several young people who were also wearing black and orange military uniforms with Mu Xiaoxiao blew a sharp whistle, and then the voices of several escorts applauded.
"Yo, new here, this blindfold is cool! How about going back and borrowing buddies to play? ”
It's just that the two people who heard the words didn't have any special reactions, and Chi Jiufeng walked out from the side of the off-road vehicle, stared at the three people opposite and shouted, "Too much nonsense, energetic, right?" Run five laps around the base! ”
After seeing Chi Jiufeng's black and red formal devourer military uniform and the golden five-pointed star on his neckline, the young men in black and orange military uniforms had depressed expressions as if they had eaten shit.
Because the officers who have been training them all the time are also devourers, but the neckline is only a silver five-pointed star, if you want to become a golden five-pointed star, you need to save enough three to be promoted, and this difficulty requires at least 3,000 or more abyssal beasts to be possible.
As for the only big guy with a golden pentagram in the base, almost every soldier here knows that it is the legendary strongest devourer Chi Jiufeng, and of course the most terrifying and stern captain Chi who has been rumored!
At this time, Chi Jiufeng's stern voice did not interrupt the two people who looked at each other, only to see Mu Xiaoxiao generously walked in front of Zhang He, and at the same time stretched out her fingers like jade onions, and chuckled: "Under the formal understanding, the reinforcement army number 5691 Mu Xiaoxiao!" I'm no longer a superintendent, you can call me Xiaoxiao or 5691 in the future! ”
However, Zhang He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in front of him, but a shallow smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time reached out to hold her palm......
