008: Settlement Memories and Reinforcement
The long lake in the early morning is the most beautiful time of the day, the light of the rising sun ripples on the lake, and the calm water surface is like a mirror, projecting the entire sky on the lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the sparkling blue waves and the gentle breeze, Annan leaned on the railing, watching the water slowly paddled by the yacht, waving small waves, as if completely intoxicated by the current beauty.
But in fact, although Annan looked calm on the surface, he was both excited and a little scared in the depths, and it was only at this moment that he was truly sure that he had embarked on this path.
For Little Fox, this adventure is just a simple live broadcast, and in order to be more gimmicky, it has been specially named the return journey of Little Fox and the Secretary-General.
The name is cheesy and shameful, but for Annan, it is a real journey back.
Because it is Annan's hometown, he grew up there, and it was not until he went to university that he went out to study alone, and there are countless beautiful memories hidden in Annan's mind.
And the little fox will only coincide with the meeting, flee and escape there, and then spend the most difficult period of the last days there, which also has a certain meaning for her, but where can it compare to Annan, who grew up.
This time, the little fox suddenly came to the door and invited Annan to join this adventure, according to the rules of survival in the last days that he had set for himself, never do anything beyond his strength.
As an ordinary person and a powerless otaku, Annan never thought that he would agree to the little fox's invitation so easily, you must know that this is risking his life!
But Annan has a reason why he must go back, of course, not the reason for the little fox's strange slogan of "return to the journey, regain the past", but a real sense of redemption.
Annan's hometown had a very meaningful name before the end of the world, called Ping'an Town, which was just one of countless ordinary towns in the land of China.
Similar to today's Changhu New Town, the town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by a small tributary of the Yangtze River, and although it is poor, it is very quiet, and Annan's home is here.
When the end of the world broke out, it happened that Annan finished his final exams and ran back to his home early, and then disaster struck, flooding most of the town, fortunately Annan's family had time to escape to higher ground due to the higher terrain.
After escaping the initial catastrophe, Annan, his family and his neighbors returned to their home beyond recognition, and there was no time to grieve because of the news that the whole world had fallen into the end and that humanity was about to perish.
The news caused great panic, and people who were already panicked by the disaster suddenly found it extremely difficult to feed their stomachs without government guidance and assistance.
To add insult to injury, the disaster accelerated the spread of zombie viruses and animal mutations, and in a short period of time, the surviving people in the town discovered the traces of these monsters.
This exacerbated the dire situation, with lack of food and clothing, no shelter, the loss of loved ones, and the danger lurking, and it was definitely the darkest time, and the townspeople were completely overshadowed by despair.
Fortunately, there are still many wise people among the more than 10,000 residents of the town, led by a few young officials and policemen, who call on all young people to take up arms to protect their families and defend their homes.
Slowly, the situation is getting better, and the town may have survived the initial danger because of the "peace" in its name.
Then there were survivors in the vicinity who knew about this place, and many people had to overcome difficulties and dangers in order to survive, hoping to come to Ping'an Town to continue to live, so the little fox and many people gathered here.
But the good times didn't last long, and the name "Heian" didn't bring "peace" forever, and as the monsters increased, the surviving residents' self-organized guards gradually became unable to resist.
After all, Annan not only lacks weapons and equipment, but more importantly, they are just ordinary people, and they have not only a physical gap with well-trained soldiers, but also a lack of a firm belief.
On a rainy night, the guard circle was breached by a group of terrifying mutated animals, and then surrounded by a horde of zombies, and that night, the situation of the settlement that had gradually improved was reversed in a blink of an eye.
Not to mention the heavy losses of the survivors, what is even more terrifying is that many people have lost hope in their hearts because of this, and many people are frightened by the scene of that night, which then triggered a wave of suicides in the settlement.
It was at that time that Annan forever remembered the smiles of death left by those who were in peace and "sleeping" in the past.
Over the years, Annan has been tormented by nightmares, constantly remembering those smiles in his sleep, and everyone who collected Annan's body stood around Annan, always with that smile on his face, and then stared straight at Annan without speaking.
Every time Annan would wake up from a nightmare, his whole body would be wet with cold sweat, and he would be extremely weak in spirit for the next few days, unable to do anything.
Because of this nightmare, Annan wanted to return to the settlement for a long time, and then go to the place where he buried those people, not for anything else, but to see what had become of it, and then ask those guys by the way why they kept torturing him.
Jokes aside, Annan actually just wanted to see the graves, of course, it would be best if he could figure out the cause of the nightmare, and Annan had always had a hunch that he had to go back there.
So in the past few years, he has spent all his savings and kept trying to inject enhancement potions, hoping to successfully become an enhancer, so that he can have a chance to cross the dangerous wilderness.
But unfortunately, the seventeen failed reinforcement records wiped out the hope in his heart.
Annan, who had already planned to give up this idea, did not expect to usher in a turning point, and the little fox's invitation was poking at Annan's deepest wish.
And being able to follow a D-class enhancer on an adventure is better than taking risks alone, this kind of opportunity is too rare, because D-class enhancers are rare, at least ordinary people like Annan are difficult to access.
Since the advent of the Human Enhancer, the changes it has brought about are not only for humans to fight back against monsters, but also for the human being.
It forcibly divides the original same human beings into two groups: ordinary people and enhancers, ordinary people are worried about survival every day, and enhancers work hard every day to improve their strength, which can be said to be completely two worlds.
Although the status of the Enhancer is not explicitly stipulated, the human nature of the Strongman is admired, and the Enhancer is automatically divided into a privileged class among the human race, and the status is very similar to that of the knights of the Middle Ages.
The enhancers also consider themselves to be superior to ordinary people, and for various reasons, they slowly draw a line between themselves and ordinary people.
This is not to say that reinforcements are all unconscionable things, but because this situation is inevitable, just like people with different diplomas and ideological heights before the end of the world, it is difficult to become confidants and friends, and the enhancers have nothing in common with ordinary people at all, and gradually it becomes very mysterious.
As a rare D-class enhancer, the little fox can be said to be difficult for ordinary people to easily contact, if the other party hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door, even if Annan took seventeen human enhancement agents as a fee, there would not be any real D-class enhancer who would have accepted it at all.
The Enhancers have the pride of the Enhancers, they shuttle through the dangerous wilderness, and they dare not say that all the Enhancers, at least most of them, look down on ordinary people who are getting by and busy all for survival.
Of course, there are good people among the enhancers, such as the little fox, who is psychotic, but more people are still people like the captain of the Swan, Sao Baonan, who does not want to have too much contact with ordinary people.
At least after Annan got on the ship, he had only seen each other once when he was despised by the other party before, and then he had never seen each other, and it was obvious that the other party did not want to have too much contact with Annan.
Annan even understood that if he hadn't been personally invited by the little fox, Captain Sao Bao might not have been willing to let him get on the boat, and would have driven him away.
If it weren't for the initiator of the Little Fox Club's operation and the boss of the Swan, more importantly, the Little Fox's fists would be bigger and more powerful than the captain Sao Bao Nan, maybe before he came out of the New City Wharf, Annan would have been thrown directly into Long Lake by the other party.
Just like the difference between an ordinary person and an enhancer, there is also a difference between an enhancer and an enhancer, and they are generally divided according to strength.
The division of strength is based on the level of the strengthening elixir, and it was said earlier that the strengthening elixir can stimulate the potential of the human body, but the effects of different levels of elixirs are definitely different.
The raw materials of ordinary potions come from ordinary zombies and mutant animals, which are generally for ordinary people to be strengthened for the first time, it can help the human body slowly improve and improve the genes, after the enhancement is successful, it will greatly enhance the strength and other strength of the human body.
This kind of potion is called the basic strengthening potion by many people, that is, the strengthening potion that Annan has injected seventeen times, and the success rate of this potion is very high, about 90 percent, and Annan belongs to the other 10 percent.
Then there is the D-rank enhancement potion, which is aimed at those who have already had basic enhancements, and if they succeed, they can evolve into D-class enhancers, but the success rate of this level drops to seventy percent.
The little fox belongs to the seventy percent of the lucky ones, and the first injection of the booster will be directly successful, which is very rare, because the enhancement agent can be injected continuously, and the success rate is related to all aspects.
Sometimes because you hit the plane the night before, it may lead to the failure of reinforcement the next day, of course, this is just an exaggeration, but the success rate of reinforcement is closely related to the mental state of the human body.
Therefore, most people will make new reinforcement attempts after failing once, after a period of preparation and exercise.
And the little fox's ability to succeed once shows that her potential is very huge, and she can even reach a higher level in the future and have more powerful strength.
To put it bluntly, don't look at the little fox as having "neurotics", but its future potential is unpredictable!
