Three months later, St. Petersburg, Russia. (Professionally provide e-book download.)

Christmas was established to commemorate the birth of Christmas, and according to doctrine, it should be celebrated on December 25, so for Catholics and Protestants, December 25 is Christmas. But for the Russian people who profess Orthodox Christianity, the 7th day of January in the Gregorian calendar is the 25th day of the 12th month of the Russian calendar. Therefore, the Christmas of the Russian nation is January 7.

Christmas is a time for Russians to visit relatives and friends, exchange gifts, gather to celebrate and engage in various charitable activities.

For children, it's the day when Santa Claus comes to deliver gifts once a year.

Christmas, the day when the "Dark Star Team Tournament" starts with some special + times compared to previous years.

The main venue of the Dark Star contest is different from one year to another, the last one in Germany and this year in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Zhou Kai is visiting St. Petersburg for the first time, compared to Moscow, St. Petersburg has a stronger Russian national identity, and the ancient Russian buildings in the city are world-famous, many of which belong to the early 18th century.

Through the portholes of the flying car, you can see the various fountains of the "Summer Palace", shining with gilded brilliance and silver shadows of the water under the blue sky and white clouds.

The car slowly landed on the parking apron of the "Gartner Sports Arena", ten kilometers away from the "Summer Palace", which is the exclusive parking apron for the participating teams, and the surrounding security barrier has been surrounded by the world's major media memoirs. The huge parking apron is full of all kinds of business cars, and the team members wearing various styles of team uniforms are all wearing black nano anti-scanning masks on their heads.

Even Mo Yuansheng, who has never liked to wear a mask, now has one on his head, because this is the hard and fast rule of the "Dark Star" competition. Following behind Mo Yuansheng, Zhou Kai walked out of the flying car.

When all the members of the "Thanatos Team" stood on the parking apron, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter. All kinds of complicated eyes swept over one after another, because they all saw the conspicuous team emblem on the black uniforms of these team members—a god of death wielding a blood-red scythe high.

Even if the distance is almost a hundred meters. Zhou Kai could also clearly hear the exclamations of the media outside the isolation zone.

'Look!' Team Thanatos'! A Russian shouted loudly.

"Where? Let me go. I'm going to shoot it. His companion squeezed forward as hard as he could.

"This is what you call 'Team Legends'?" An American asked, writing aside.

"Sixty-eight skipping challenges without a single defeat. Become the shortest team in history to go from one star to five stars; And they qualified with a clean sweep in the 'Dark Star' qualifier some time ago. It has become the only team in the top 50 teams on the 'black list' that has been established for less than half a year. None of these teams can be called 'Legends'. Then there will be no legends in this world. ”

Some other countries don't know about the "Thanatos team" to hear this. I couldn't help but gasp.

Sixty-eight consecutive victories in the challenge of skipping the squad, in their opinion, there is nothing to boast about. Because the level of competition in each country and region is different, for example, the continental champion team in Asia is likely to not even be able to pass the first round in the professional competition in the United States. Although the level in Europe is higher than in Asia, it is difficult to say in the underground arena, and if the team has money at the backstage level, he can use it to pave a dazzling winning streak. In addition, there are loopholes in the selection of opponents, and they can completely choose some of the worst opponents in the upper division, as long as they have a little strength, and the winning streak is not a myth.

What really surprised these people was what they said was that they had won all of the 'Dark Star' qualifiers and entered the top 50 of the 'Black List'. Because no matter which of these two items, it is an affirmation of the strength of an underground team.

The Dark Star's qualifiers are all of the underground teams around the world that are randomly paired against each other, and there's no shortcut at all. To be able to reach the finals with a winning attitude from thousands of underground teams, without strong strength as a backing, it is completely impossible to succeed by luck alone.

And the top 50 teams on the "Dark Team Rankings", which one is not a veteran team that has experienced a hundred battles. If you want to be in the top 50 as a new team, you would never have been able to do it without the impressive results of the top teams.

Since "Team Tanatos" can become the top 50 in the "Dark Team Rankings" in half a year, it only proves that the opponents they have encountered in the previous Skip Challenge and the later "Dark Star" qualifiers are not those low-level teams that have made up the numbers, but those teams that are on the list, and only in this way can they be among the top 50 of the "Black List" in only half a year.

For a while, all the camera equipment outside the isolation zone was aimed at the "Thanatos team" who had just stepped off the flying car.

*******************************************************************************************************

All the achievements of the "Tanatos team" in the past three months have nothing to do with Zhou Kai, and his arrival in St. Petersburg today is the first time he has walked out of Guan Nantian's scientific research institute in three months.

These three months were three months that Zhou Kai would never forget. Because during these three months, he experienced a cycle from birth to death, and from death to life.

Yuan Tao was indeed not wrong at the beginning, because Zhou Kai had just broken through at that time, his strong keen senses had not brought him many side effects. But when he can't sleep peacefully even when he hides in a soundproof room, when his mind is filled with all kinds of noises all the time, when he can smell the body odor of everyone around him, when a little chili pepper can sting his nerves|<

So much so that he hid in a soundproof room almost every day, and everyone around him wore thick protective clothing, and even his diet was made by hand. But even so, he is getting thinner and thinner, and his temper is getting more and more weird, often inexplicably hot. In addition to the cultivation of the second layer of "control", he always walked around alone in the soundproof room talking to himself.

So everyone who saw him was very worried about his prospects, but there was nothing they could do to help him, unless all his sensory nerves were cut off by surgery, but in that case, his whole person would be ruined.

This period of time lasted for two months, and no one in the institute had ever laughed during those two months, and Zhou Kai's emotions affected them. Everyone is doing their work with their heads down every day, and they don't even say much, they are all waiting, waiting for Zhou Kai to either break through or go crazy.

The training of Ding Xiaowei, Di Hu and Wei Chigang was also suspended, and Zhou Kai's situation made them unable to see the future at all. Everyone began to wonder if the "Heart Refinement" itself was problematic, and the best proof was why they had never heard of a "person" who was different from ordinary people before, and if there must have been, it was only in mythological stories.

Sadness spread in the institute, and even the continuous proud results of the "Tanatos Team" led by Mo Yuansheng did not change everyone's mood.

Since Zhou Kai's mood deteriorated, Guan Nantian has not been to the research laboratory again, it is not that he doesn't care about Zhou Kai, but he can't bear to see Zhou Kai's appearance with his own eyes, he doesn't know how to comfort him, and he doesn't know how to save him. Every time Yuan Tao went to the office to report Zhou Kai's situation, he could see Guan Nantian's red eyes, and from his choked voice, even if he was a fool, he could know that he must have cried when no one was around.

Guan Nantian has been hesitating since someone proposed to cut off Zhou Kai's perceptual nerves, he can't make such a decision, but if compared to Zhou Kai going crazy or dying, this is undoubtedly the only way to save Zhou Kai. Is it to let Zhou Kai live and become a wasted person? Or will he end up insane or die? Either choice is not what Guan Nantian wants.

reported Zhou Kai's situation once a day, which later became once in the morning and once in the afternoon, then once every two hours, and finally once an hour. As time went on, everyone's nerves tightened, and several female researchers have already proposed to take time off because they can't afford this oppressive work environment.

Zhou Kai didn't know all this, he had very little time to sleep, and almost most of his time was spent cultivating "The instinct of controlling survival made him not give up on himself, and the strong survival ** allowed him to overcome the negative effects of various bodies and train persistently."

Finally, one day two months later, he finally succeeded! After successfully controlling his "brain power", the first thing he did was to sleep beautifully, which was the thing he wanted to do the most in two months, so much so that he went straight to sleep without even thinking about informing anyone.

From the monitor in the soundproof room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhou Kai lying on the soundproof mat and sleeping soundly for an hour. Although they knew that even if they screamed outside, it would be impossible for the sound to enter the soundproof room, they still involuntarily lowered their footsteps, they didn't want to disturb Zhou Kai's rest.

One hour

Two hours

Three hours

Some people feel that something is wrong, because they know that Zhou Kai has had a daily rest for nearly a month, and it has not taken more than two hours together.

Four hours

Five hours

Guan Nantian, who had been guarding outside for a long time, couldn't help it, could it be that there was something wrong with Zhou Kai? But all the vital sign monitors in the soundproof room showed that everything was fine.

Six hours

Seven hours

Guan Nantian couldn't wait any longer, he had to figure out what was going on, so he asked someone to open the soundproof room.

To tell the truth, the overwhelming monthly passes are something I didn't expect at all, dozens of monthly passes may be nothing for the gods, but for me, I'm really moved, thank you! Thank you so much for your support! (A friend said that the book review area is swiped, in fact, this is automatically laid out after the revision of the **book review area, anyone votes for a monthly ticket, and the system will thank me on behalf of the post.) Including every time I upload a chapter, the system will also post an announcement. ）
