Chapter 2: The Chosen One
Sixty years ago, the world underwent a strange change, and fierce creatures that suddenly appeared around the world attacked the human world.
They are of all kinds, some of them are huge and like a small mountain, some are fierce and bloodthirsty, like murderous machines, and some are hordes of beasts, and everywhere they go is like the transit of death, and no one is exempt.
Humans call it "Warcraft".
In just one year, the population has plummeted by more than 50%, and humanity has been threatened with the greatest extinction in history.
However, humans are not easy to mess with, and five years after the Warcraft Rebellion, humans have launched a survival counterattack.
A large number of "warriors" appeared.
With the invasion of Warcraft, the entire human world seems to have undergone some wonderful changes, and among humans, there are some strong people who can be comparable to Warcraft.
They are the hope of mankind.
Powerful warriors went forward one after another, relying on their strong strength and wisdom far beyond the enemy, and forcibly snatched a part of the living space belonging to human beings from the hands of Warcraft.
Today, cities are covered by powerful power grids, which are the barriers to human survival and the cages of human self-captivity.
As it stands, humanity cannot take back the entire world. Because it takes a lot of time and money to train a warrior, unless it is a genius-like existence, it often takes 5 to 10 years, or even 20 years to form an effective combat power.
The death of any warrior is an irreversible loss.
However, with the development of medical technology, mankind has ushered in new opportunities.
Temporarily transfer the soul to another container.
This fantastic technology was originally only used in the medical and heavy industry industries. Let the special mechanical equipment do the delicate or unusually heavy work that cannot be done by a normal human body.
But the astute military, as early as the beginning of the advent of this technology, saw its true value and developed it.
Just a few years later, the first generation of "Shadow Warriors" was put into action.
The body of steel, coupled with flexible operation, makes just the initial version of the shadow warrior have the strength of a near-third-level martial artist.
And more importantly, even if the whole army is wiped out due to the beast tide, as long as the soul is successfully recovered before the soul is exhausted, the operator will not be in mortal danger, and after a period of recuperation, the mecha can be replaced and continue to fight.
However, this technology has just been introduced, and although it has been applied on a large scale on the battlefield, the selection of combatants is often carried out only within the army.
Although Xu Chen also considered trying, there was no suitable opportunity.
If you don't have the talent to become a strategist, you can't say it well, and the shadow warrior is the last hope.
And the man in front of him, the genius strategist Zhang Yao, may be the medium through which he became a shadow warrior.
Who made him a genius, he usually doesn't come to class, no one knows what he does every day, or who he comes into contact with.
Others mentioned the Shadow Warrior, most of them were bragging, but if it was him, even if it had something to do with the military, Xu Chen would not feel any surprise or surprise.
After all, in order to fight against Warcraft and fight for the survival resources of human beings, genius strategists will sooner or later be with the army, or even command the army.
"Why do you want to help me? Also, where are we going?" Leaving the school, Xu Chen was pulled by Zhang Yao into a luxury sightseeing car.
Xu Chen's city is called "Yecheng", and the name of the city is usually to commemorate the warriors who made great contributions at the beginning of the city, and Yecheng is no exception.
Initially, Yecheng was just a small city, but with the development of time, today's Yecheng has already become a medium-sized city that can accommodate 50 million people, with the expansion of the city and the increase in population, security has become a top priority, around the main city, often built some military defense-oriented acropolis, which is not only a barrier, but also an outpost for further expansion and exploration.
As a communication link between the main city and the acropolis, a kind of transport vehicle that runs quickly in the power grid channel came into being.
Of course, the military has its own dedicated channel, this kind of transport vehicle is only used for civilian use, and it can open this kind of power grid channel suspended in the air once, which requires extremely high energy consumption, so the high price makes the vast majority of ordinary people prohibitive.
This is also the helplessness of being in the cage of the city.
Gradually, this kind of transportation, which only the rich can afford, is nicknamed a sightseeing car. Who made this rare opportunity to get out of the city, and it is no different from sightseeing.
"Hey, I spent a lot of money to buy two tickets, are you sure you don't take this opportunity to take a good look at the world outside the city?" Zhang Yao ignored him, but leaned on the chair, with his back to Xu Chen, looking intently at the desolate land outside the city.
“......。 ”
"By the way, boy, this is your first time in this car. Seeing that Xu Chen didn't talk, Zhang Yao turned over, sat down again, looked at Xu Chen and asked leisurely.
Xu Chen was stunned at first, and then nodded after a while: "I can't get a hundred thousand tickets, even if I have this money, I don't have time to waste on it." ”
Zhang Yao kept nodding: "I understand, you waste all your time on learning useless things." If I were you, let alone go out, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have time to go to the toilet. As he spoke, Zhang Yao looked at Xu Chen's crotch with strange eyes, and asked in a weird manner: "Oh, you won't wear diapers all the time to save time, right?" ”
Xu Chen frowned and said, "You are bored, you know?"
"Ahh Zhang Yao didn't care.
Xu Chen urged: "Say it quickly, what are you going to do when you drag me to the East Acropolis." ”
Zhang Yao looked at the time: "It's almost an hour away, what are you anxious about, after you arrive, you will naturally know." ”
"That's ....... ”
Seeing that Xu Chen was going to continue to ask, Zhang Yao hurriedly interrupted: "By the way, young man, in half a year, I will go to school." ”
Xu Chen was anxious in his heart, and nodded impatiently: "Well, there are still six months and nine days." ”
Zhang Yao continued to ask, "Have you decided which college to apply for?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Chen said calmly: "If I can discover my talent within six months, I want to apply for the Genius Academy." ”
Hearing the name Genius Academy, Zhang Yao's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked again: "If you can't find it, where do you want to go?"
Xu Chen said: "Even if I still don't have any talent after six months, I will still apply for the Genius Academy." ”
"Oh, the obsession is so deep. ”
Xu Chen let out a sigh of relief: "The Genius Academy, the highest institution of learning jointly established by all countries, the palace where human elites gather, is a super organization rooted in various countries, but independent of each country, and its achievements represent the limits that human beings can reach, and they are the ranks that I have fought for my life and want to join." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Chen, who had been sitting upright, leaned back on the chair for the first time, his eyes were empty, as if he saw a person standing between the vast world and mastering everything, that ...... It's the feeling of freedom: "Genius, what a wonderful word." Who can't help but look forward to it. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yao laughed: "Do you remember? I said that the two of us are very similar." This is definitely not meant to comfort you, nor is it a lie. You are exactly the same as me "before". ”
Saying that, Zhang Yao turned around again and looked at the world outside the city: "Don't worry, if you really want to become a genius at all costs, I will give you a chance, even if you retreat, I will recommend you to try to become a shadow warrior." How you choose when the time comes is up to you. ”
"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Yao's words, Xu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, originally, Xu Chen just wanted to know if he had tricked himself into coming out to hang out with him, or if he really wanted to recommend himself to try if there was any possibility of becoming a shadow martial artist.
But...... After hearing these words, Xu Chen faintly felt that things were not so simple.
"Oh, by the way, boy, speaking of my intention, it's also a genius academy....... ”
In the rushing power grid, sightseeing cars gallop towards the East Acropolis.
In the East Acropolis, three people in black uniforms are approaching the station from different directions, and their expressions are solemn, as if they are looking for something.
"Boss, it's the wild "reincarnation" again! Two dead in the alley, it seems that he is right. One of the men in black used a communicator to tell his companions what he had seen.
"Damn!" the other gritted his teeth angrily and said viciously: "It's this guy again, let me touch it, see how I clean him up." ”
The man known as the leader whispered through a communicator: "Abu, don't be impulsive, this guy is very cunning, it is speculated that the target can still maintain a high level of human consciousness, but the depth of reincarnation is unknown, the ability of reincarnation is unknown, and it is extremely dangerous, and the destructive power is amazing, don't act rashly, so as not to cause panic among the masses." ”
"But the boss!"
"Abu, don't let the people and the military know about the existence of the reincarnation, just quietly eliminate this guy before he makes a big fuss. After that, the man said to another person: "Ah Shi, is there anyone in the branch? This guy must have fled towards the densely populated station, and with only the three of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture him quietly." ”
"Mr. Marcus is supposed to be in the East Acropolis, but not in the branch, and it may take a little time to contact him. But...... Mr. Pei is resting in the branch, do you want to invite Mr. Pei to come over? ”
"Mr. Pei, forget it, we have to use Mr. Pei's words to deal with such a guy, then let's just go farming." ”
"Hey, if Brother Zhang Yao is here, with him in command, he will definitely be able to complete the task easily. Abu complained.
Listening to Abu's words, Ah Shi retorted: "Mr. Zhang has a very important exam today, and he should come back tomorrow, so don't fantasize, besides, you, don't expect gentlemen to do everything, then what's the point of us." ”
"Boom......!"
Just as the two were arguing, a loud bang came from the direction of the station, billowing smoke, and the three of them secretly said in their hearts at the same time, "Oh no! ”
