Dark, cold, dead silence......

It's a chaotic world. There is no heaven and earth, no light, no sound, not even time. Looking around, there is nothing but darkness, only chaos. The space around it is deep and weird, like the devil's giant mouth devouring everything.

In the endless void, it was empty, and there was only Qin Nian's figure.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, his face was calm, and he was sleeping quietly. He seems to be the center of this world, but he seems out of place in this world.

There is no concept of time here, and even the mind is frozen.

Qin Nian didn't know how long he had been floating, a few years, or just a few seconds. It wasn't until a familiar voice sounded that his ability to think was reawakened.

"Welcome back. In the darkness, a magnetic male voice whispered in the void.

At the same time, Qin Nian also slowly opened his eyes, and said with a somewhat expressionless face: "If I come a few times less, I may be happier." I've been brought here by you more and more often. There was dissatisfaction in his tone.

The voice in the darkness seemed to let out a chuckle, but did not care, and said: "Then I may be about to disappoint you, there is not much time left, but there is no way for you to rest to your heart's content." ”

Hearing this, Qin Nian frowned slightly, moved his body, and said softly: "Hekaxiu, we are almost half acquaintances." Can't you tell me a little bit now? ”

Qin Nian was a little helpless, this was not the first time he had asked this question. Don't look at him, Hekaxiu has known each other for a while, but Qin Nian has almost no knowledge of Hekaxiu until now, and he doesn't even know whether the other party is a human or a ghost.

The first meeting between the two only began on Qin Nian's twenty-fourth birthday half a year ago. Since then, every once in a while, Qin Nian would be brought to this world in his sleep without warning, and it was here that he met Hekaxiu for the first time......

And as time went by, the number of times Qin Nian was brought over became more and more frequent. From the first once a month or two, to the last less than a month, he has come here for the third time.

Uncontrollable, without warning, without even the slightest ability to resist, no one would like this feeling.

After experiencing panic, suspicion, and resistance at the beginning, Qin Nian finally found out sadly that he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of information and strength. What you do has no effect on the other party.

Whether it is negotiating, begging, or even all kinds of sabotage and non-cooperation, it is useless.

Even after Qin Nian accepted his fate, he expressed his willingness to cooperate and wanted to ask Hekaxiu for some information, but he didn't get many clear answers.

The other party didn't seem to care whether Qin Nian was willing to cooperate at all, and under all kinds of magical means, Qin Nian felt like a marionette, and could only be at the mercy of others.

So far, the only information that Hekasiu is willing to divulge to Qin Nian is that it seems that he is waiting for something. And the more and more frequent dreams are also preparing for the arrival of that moment.

Hekaxiu's mystery and silence made Qin Nian's heart full of vigilance and resistance. But he was powerless to resist, so he could only go with the flow and quietly see what would happen next. At least, fortunately, for now, Hekasiu hasn't shown any ill will towards him. Qin Nian could only bury his guard deep in his heart.

"I can't."

Not surprisingly, Hekasiu's answer was the same as before, leaving no room for error. "I will tell you what I should know in the future. Knowing too much now won't do you any good. ”

Qin Nian pursed his lips and didn't try to fight for anything more. Previous attempts have proven that any attempt to extract information is useless. As long as Hekaxiu was unwilling to say it, no matter how much Qin Nian discussed, he would not reveal the slightest.

Seeing Qin Nian's appearance, Hekaxiu paused, and said with some half-comfort and half-explanation: "I know your vigilance, but don't worry, I have no intention of harming you." The reason why I didn't tell you is for your own good. There are some things, once you know now, that are likely to lead to disasters that you cannot bear. In the future, if you know, I will tell you little by little. ”

When Qin Nian heard this, although he didn't know what to do, he secretly quietly wrote down Hekaxiu's words, as for whether it was true or false, and what it meant, he would slowly find a way to study it in the future.

Hekasius obviously didn't want to reveal too much, but after saying these few words, he didn't continue to say more.

Although Qin Nian was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't show any emotion on his face, glanced around casually, and casually asked Hekaxiu, "What are we going to train this time?" ”

Listening to Qin Nian's inquiry, Hekaxiu did not respond. It's just that the surrounding environment suddenly began to change slowly. The dark void seemed to distort, and some light appeared.

Qin Nian felt that he faintly heard bursts of artillery fire in his ears, and he also smelled a trace of gunpowder.

The distortion of the darkness became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Nian found that he was standing on a tragic battlefield at some point, and the clothes on his body had also turned into a dark green military uniform, and he was still holding a miniature charge in his hand.

The roar of guns and cannons was all around, and the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the heavy smell of blood rushed towards you.

The deafening explosion around him lifted up layers of dirt, mixed with stumps and severed arms, raining down from the sky. The wails and roars of the soldiers all around make this place like a hell on earth.

Before Qin Nian could react, Hekaxiu's voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "What you want to exercise this time is your perception of danger. ”

"This is a simulated World War II battlefield, and your mission is to follow your faction and attack enemy high ground on the hillside in front of you or blow up a fortress with your own hands. You can't go back, and you can't wait for the other to end the battle, otherwise you will fail the mission. ”

As soon as Hekaxiu finished speaking, the sound of artillery fire around him suddenly became louder, waking Qin Nian's mind up.

Reacting to this, Qin Nian quickly pounced on a mound bunker not far from him.

Feeling the explosion of shells around him, the flying dirt smashing on his hat, and it seemed as if another shrapnel had just flown past his cheek.

Qin Nian took a few big breaths of the choking air to calm his violently beating heart.

Then he cursed as if venting: "Hekasio, you bastard, you have such a big game this time!"

Hekaxiu didn't seem to care at all about Qin Nian's curse, and said lightly: "There is no better place to exercise your ability to react to danger than on the battlefield. Here, you'll have to keep an eye out for dangers from all around you, invisible bullets, and massive shell explosions. If you want to survive, you can't just rely on the rational thinking of your brain, more often than not, you have to accurately grasp the body's emergency response and judge where the sense of danger comes from, and a second of hesitation can lead to your death. Finally, good luck, don't die too much too quickly, it hurts a lot of ......" The last sentence, Hekaxiu's tone was full of ridicule, obviously a return gift to Qin Nian who scolded himself just now.

"You ......" Before Qin Nian's words could be finished, he was interrupted by an explosion.

A forty-eight-petal melon grenade was thrown not far from Qin Nian, and the huge shock wave directly lifted Qin Nian out, fortunately, with this mound of dirt as a buffer, Qin Nian was not harmed, but was buried by the overturned soil.

Bah! Bah! Qin Nian wiped the dirt from his mouth twice, didn't care about slapping the dirt on his body, quickly got up from the mound, grabbed the submachine gun next to him, and ran towards another bunker.

It was not the first time that Qin Nian had experienced similar training, and he had been arranged by Hekaxiu in various different scenes before, both difficult and easy.

Whether it's locked up in an ancient Roman arena or battling a small, unknown monster, being put on an aerobatic plane for extreme action, or hiding from a pack of wolves in the primeval jungle...... Each time the scene is different, and the tasks assigned are different.

After the initial fear and resistance, Qin Nian gradually discovered that Hekaxiu was not torturing him with a bad taste, but purposefully improving his ability to survive.

So far, Qin Nian has experienced many challenges. Although there is no clear object of comparison, Qin Nian feels that his survivability under some extreme conditions may be no less than that of the top special forces in some countries. After all, the exercise between life and death is the most effective. Those special forces don't have an infinite chance of resurrection.

However, even if he could be resurrected indefinitely in these exercises, Qin Nian was not willing to try to die easily.

Unlike real-life technologies such as VR, the realism here is more than any technology on earth. The pain and fear of death are clear. If he couldn't do it again and again, Qin Nian would probably really think that this was the real world.

At this moment, in the battlefield

Qin Nian hid behind cover, occasionally seizing the opportunity to counterattack once or twice. It's not about the head or anything, it's harassment at best.

The enemy's firepower was fierce, and Qin Nian tried to rise several times, but was pressed back by the enemy's machine gun. After trying again and again, finally, Qin Nian seized an opportunity. With the help of a dash cover from his comrades, Qin Nian quickly rushed out of cover and ran towards a large rock higher up.

From time to time, one or two bullets flew past Qin Nian's periphery, bouncing out an arc of death on the ground around him.

Qin Nian pressed the tension in his heart, and his speed under his feet did not decrease, and he had to bend down as much as possible to reduce the target.

It's not that he's not afraid of death, he's not afraid of pain. But after so many exercises, Qin Nian had already discovered that simple waiting and fear were useless. The passage of time in this space seems to be entirely in the hands of Hekasius, and it is very different from the real world.

No matter how long it takes to train each time, in reality he always wakes up on time, whether it is a few hours apart or a few minutes apart......

Blindly waiting, there is no point, the mission will start again, and only finding a way to complete the task is the only way to end this devil's training.

Qin Nian's bunker just now was only twenty or thirty meters away from the big stone, in normal times, it was just a matter of a few seconds of sprinting, but at this moment, on this battlefield full of bullets, it was a life and death crisis step by step.

It was only when he had only run a distance of more than ten meters that Qin Nian's direction unfortunately attracted the attention of the enemy's defenders.

The fire of three light machine guns and a dozen rifles began to tilt in this direction, and the red-hot bullets fired wildly in this direction, forming a small network of fire.

The surrounding comrades-in-arms were shot and screamed and hurriedly dodged.

Qin Nian also suddenly increased his pressure, but the arrow was already on the string, so he had to send it. It was obviously too late to run back to the bunker just now, and the only chance to survive was to run behind the big rock in front as soon as possible.

Roar!

Qin Nian's mouth let out a desperate roar, and he accelerated and rushed forward in a frenzy.

Bang! A bullet hit Qin Nian's shoulder, and the severe pain made Qin Nian's figure stagger. Quickly stabilizing his body, Qin Nian endured the severe pain and continued to sprint.

To stop is to die, to rush over, and to live......

Perhaps it was the favor of the goddess of luck, Qin Nian staggered over the remaining ten meters to dodge many bullets, and rushed over without danger all the way.

Seeing that he was just a few steps away from hiding behind the cover, Qin Nian suddenly felt his heart tighten, and then there was a huge explosion.

A howitzer exploded directly at a distance of one or two meters next to Qin Nian, and Qin Nian was undoubtedly directly lifted into the sky, and the huge power made his body instantly explode in two from the middle.

The broken upper body was still conscious at the moment, and Qin Nian saw in a daze that on the ground not far in front of him, there was a broken leg that had been blown to a bloody blur. Subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, but did not touch the leg muscles, but touched a section of the stomach that was still warm.

Qin Nian felt that his nerves were about to collapse, and the suffocating pain rushed straight to his brain, and the extreme madness filled all his thoughts, making him can't help but let out a miserable howl of extreme pain.

But immediately after, Qin Nian felt that his eyes were gradually darkening, and his consciousness was completely lost.
