Chapter 4: Awakening

Early the next morning, the school bus brought all the students who had passed the three subjects to the Alliance of the Awakened, and those who could not even pass the three subjects had been gradually kicked out of the school gate.

Survival of the fittest, this is the law of survival in the last days, even for students.

In the middle of the 21st century, the global virus crisis broke out, and the living became dead, and the dead became living corpses.

It was a time of despair that plunged humanity into despair, a catastrophe that nearly wiped out human civilization.

It is recorded in the history books that human beings once dominated the earth and were the supreme rulers of the biological chain, with a population of more than 7 billion.

However, after the outbreak of the virus crisis, 60% of human beings were infected by the virus, of which more than 50% were directly infected by viruses and bacteria, and the remaining 10% were infected after being attacked by zombies.

This is the percentage of people infected by the virus.

But if you think that the survival rate reaches forty percent, you are very wrong.

The end of the world broke out, the social order of mankind collapsed, and all people lived in endless fear, and many people directly led to a mental breakdown and chose to commit suicide.

It is said that this figure is as high as 15 percent.

Therefore, only 25 percent of the people who survived the first year of the virus outbreak occurred, but the famine and natural disasters that followed the second year followed, and the vast majority of those who survived died in that year.

This mortality rate is as high as 20 percent, or even more than 20 percent.

There are rumors among the people that during the famine crisis, many people actually died at the hands of humans, and at that time, food was scarce in many places, and the phenomenon of cannibalism was particularly common, especially eating children.

However, this kind of thing is not generally recorded in history textbooks, but can be seen in the literary classics of many literary scholars.

Zombies are infected by viruses, and although the state tried to study serum, it turned out that viruses can evolve on their own, and at a much faster rate than scientists can study.

In the third year, humanity's first awakened person was born, and his appearance shocked the world.

After scientific research, it was found that this person had inhaled a large number of viruses and bacteria in his body, and instead of becoming a zombie, he mutated and evoked strange abilities.

For the study of the awakened, there is no scientific research group in the world that can draw accurate conclusions, but with the birth of the awakened one by one, they have incredible abilities, and in addition to thermal weapons, human beings have added a number of powers against zombies.

In the fifteenth year of the apocalypse, a great Awakened One was born, who raised an army of the Awakened, wiped out countless zombies, and finally created the Alliance of the Awakened.

In the fifty-seventh year of the apocalypse, the Alliance of the Awakened developed a strange power stone that can stimulate the potential of the human body, sublimate the soul, and promote the awakening of people's abilities.

However, the cost of this energy stone is too huge, and the success rate of research and development is very low, so the production is scarce.

Therefore, the Alliance of the Awakened has set up an academy to train outstanding talents to become the Awakened.

The Awakened Alliance in Nandu is just a branch, and the headquarters of the alliance is located in Kyoto, and when Ning Qiu was in Hengcheng, he also entered the branch of the Awakened Alliance in Hengcheng, but the scale is far less magnificent than that of Nandu.

"Brother Qiu, what do you want to awaken?" Pang Xiaobo, like most of his classmates, was excited, like a hillbilly entering the city.

"You said that if I can awaken a thunder system, will there be a lot of girls in my arms from now on?"

"Don't wake up the water system, or you'll be in the mood to die."

Pang Xiaobo kept talking, but Ning Qiu was not worried, he felt that no matter which department he awakened, it would be the same.

The initial stage of the water system is not very dripping, but if you cultivate to the advanced level, you will still be hanging and blowing up the sky.

"I remember that my mother seems to be an awakened person of the water system and the healing system, and as for my father, it seems to be even more powerful." Ning Qiu muttered in his heart.

The leader of the team led the students to a large hall, where the staff of the Alliance of the Awoken were already waiting.

The steps of awakening are very simple, and there is a glass mechanical container with a diameter of three meters and a height of three meters in the main hall, which connects the various instruments and a colorful power stone.

All the students have to do is get into the vessel, relax, and finally if they have a vision, it means that the awakening has been successful.

"The first classmate, Zhao Mei."

The team leader read out the name of the first person to be awakened and said a few words that needed attention.

After the girl named Zhao Mei entered the container, she took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes.

About three seconds later, a little light flashed on the power stone, and a blue light appeared around Zhao Mei's body, and gradually, it sparkled.

"The water system is the water system." A classmate immediately shouted.

At the end of the ability awakening, Zhao Mei's face was a little gloomy, and the team leader said two words of encouragement, and asked the next student to prepare.

"Liao Yu, fire system."

Liao Yu walked out of the container, and his face could not hide his excitement.

Among the five major systems of abilities, the thunder system is the most difficult to awaken, and then the fire system, which is quite explosive at the beginning.

The other three systems have a relatively average chance of awakening, but there is no aggression in the initial stage of the water system, and in the face of a low-level zombie, it takes a lot of effort to go one-on-one.

"Next...... Wooden. ”

"Next...... Water system. ”

……

There are more than 400 awakened students, and more than half of them have only passed three exams.

The Apocalypse Academy has a rule that only those who pass six subjects can continue to stay in the academy and be promoted to the senior class. And those who pass the three disciplines, and the ability awakening is successful, there are generally two places.

The first is to join the military, because the military also has a unit of the Awakened to serve the country as soon as possible.

The second is to join a mercenary group and make money with your own abilities, and if you do well, you will have no problem getting rich and rich. There are even some people who can use this to improve their abilities and become a very powerful person.

Only students who have successfully graduated from the academy can join the Alliance of the Awakened, and in the future, they will have no worries about food and clothing, and they can get a good living allowance from the alliance every month.

"Next, Pang Xiaobo."

When the team leader read his name, his body shook violently, and he hurriedly strode over.

After Pang Xiaobo entered the container, it didn't take long for a red color to appear, and the light was shining.

"Fire."

The team leader patted him on the shoulder and told him that as long as he worked hard, he would become a great awakened person in the future.

"Fatty, amazing." Ning Qiu punched him in the chest, and he was happy for him in his heart.

At this time, a cold snort came from my ears.

"Don't think that awakening the fire system is amazing, in the future, in addition to qualifications, you also have to look at ...... This one. Han Chaofeng stood not far away and rubbed his fingers.

Zhou Fu was standing beside him, she glanced at Ning Qiu, there was some surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect to see him here.

Han Chaofeng already knew about Ning Qiu's previous relationship with Zhou Fu, and was proud of his feat of snatching love, so he looked at Ning Qiu with disdain at this time, with a smug expression.

"If the awakened want to improve their abilities, in addition to self-cultivation, they also need to absorb a large number of corpse cores, and the price of corpse cores should not be affordable for poor ghosts like you." Han Chaofeng hugged Zhou Fu's waist and stroked it without any scruples.

Pang Xiaobo felt angry, he was relatively straightforward, and when he was about to scold, he heard Ning Qiu say: "No matter how much you provoke me, I won't sell chrysanthemums to you." ”

"Poof!" When Pang Xiaobo heard this, a mouthful of saliva sprayed directly on the back of the head of a girl in front of him, causing him to quickly apologize.

"Brother Qiu, can you accumulate some virtue in your mouth, don't tease me, okay? I was scolded. ”

Zhou Fu's face turned red when she heard this, isn't this just a change of direction to scold her for glory?

I felt a little sorry for him before, but now I was full of resentment, and gritted my teeth at Ning Qiu: "Do you think you are still the previous young master?" Keep your eyes open and see, this is Nandu, don't kid yourself. ”

Ning Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have never felt that I am a young master, but you have always felt that you are a young lady. ”

"Poof! …… Oh sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to...... Don't, ah, it hurts. The girl in front of Pang Xiaobo was completely crazy, and no matter what place it was, grabbing this fat man was just scratching.

Zhou Fu was already so angry that his neck was red, and when Han Chaofeng saw this, he was about to go up to teach Ning Qiu a lesson, but he heard the team leader call his name.

"Boy, let's see, you'll be better in the future."
