Chapter 43: The Price of the Strong
Red Night Market......
Located in the middle of the New Federation, it is a medium-sized city, but the city is very technologically advanced, even less than the capital of the New Federation.
And now, the city has been swallowed by the virus, but it has been completely cannibalized, and the people in the city are still resisting.
"I know......" Lu Qiu stood on top of a building, looking at the city, it was filled with flames everywhere, and the roars of the zombies were endless.
Now, on the eighth day of infection, nearly one-ninth of the territory of the new federation is ravaged by the virus.
This is also the result of the new federal army personally coming in to suppress the virus.
"What is the true face of this city?"
The scenery below the city is no longer zombie lawlessness, but the human army crushing step by step.
This city is the only way to leave Wenhan City, and the army below is probably the army of Major Sule, the A-level superpower who once sat in Wenhan City.
And Lu Qiu's target is this major.
"I said Al, what do you think is the best way to get a person to have the idea of killing someone?"
Lu Qiu asked Arthas, who was standing behind him.
"Hatred." Arthas replied to Lu Qiu with some uncertainty.
"That's right, that's the right answer." Lu Qiu stared at the city below that was shrouded in flames: "Hatred will make a person lose his mind and become stronger. So Al, I need a tool now, to control this tool with hatred, to accomplish my purpose. ”
"But the owner ......"
"Al you know what? Human potential is limited in a sense. ”
“?” Arthas didn't know why Lu Qiu suddenly wanted to say this.
"That Professor Ye provided me with a very good piece of information." Lu Qiu pointed to his head: "According to the research of the New Federation, the potential of human beings is limited, and they are already the limit if they evolve to B-level ability by themselves, as for A-level, according to the conclusion reached by the New Federation, it will take three hundred and seventy-six years for an ordinary B-level ability person to evolve to A-level even if he is fighting all the time and is familiar with his ability." But this is beyond the limits of human lifespan, let alone fighting all the time of the day! ”
"Weird, right?" Although Lu Qiu believed that humans were very adaptable creatures, Lu Qiu did not believe that humans could evolve to the point where they could destroy a city with one hand in a short period of time, which was already against the rules set by the gods.
"So how did the new federation come to have six A-class superpowers?"
Lu Qiu knows... I also know clearly what kind of existence the so-called A-level ability is.
"Breeding." Lu Qiu's lips furled, and he said a word that did not belong to a human being.
“?”
"It's like fighting dogs and crickets or praying mantis... Eat their own kind to gain more power......"
Lu Qiu admired more and more what the new federation had done to strengthen his national strength.
"In the A-class ability training program that was launched decades ago, the guy named Hekin Mustein discovered a special crystal that exists in the brain of a superpowerer, as long as it is liquefied and injected into the body of a person who is also a superpower, the power of the superpower person can be increased to a certain extent."
"This ...... It's called feeding. ”
"This project has been going on so far, selecting young individuals who have the qualifications to become superpowers, letting them live together, fighting each other when they become adults, and those who survive will drink each other's blood and seize each other's power... And the last one who survives will become an A-level ability admired by thousands of people! ”
One will be a success!
That's the price of gaining power.
Blade your compatriots one by one!
"A-class capable people have been lackeys of the New Federation since they were born, and they don't have childhood memories. The Major, too, Souler, I think he must be confused about who he is and when he was born into this world. ”
"And then."
Lu Qiu had a smile on his face.
"I'm going to help the poor Major, to get his lost memories back, and let him know how much the new Federation to whom he is loyal has done his best for him."
"He's right...... Righteous. Arthas vaguely remembered Souler standing up to protect civilians.
"It's interesting because he's righteous, and it's a great title, isn't it? It's even better when you're falling. ”
Lu Qiu felt that it was time to prepare the chess pieces to be used in this war.
"Then Al, while I prepare the pawns for this battle, you can watch from the sidelines, and prepare for the future battle."
This city is not just a simple distinction between humans and zombies, if Lu Qiu guessed correctly, there is another group of people in this city...... Cloaked in human clothes, it is more terrifying than zombies.
Black Watch!
And because this city has a little special reason, it is directly governed by Blackwatch... Because in the underneath of the city, there are some things that are not visible.
………………
"Damn, didn't it say the city wasn't infected?"
A Marine in a bulletproof vest grumbled after killing several zombies running towards him with an assault rifle in his hand.
"I heard that it broke out in Times Square last night, and the source of infection is still unknown."
His teammates answered him.
"Our mission is to destroy zombies, when will it become an escort civilian, it is still so much, how long will we stay in this hell!"
"No way, with Major Souler here, I don't feel like I'm afraid of anything."
"At the end of this exploration mission, there are not many zombies around here, Master Chief should hurry up and return to the team, if you stay too long, you will die."
"I still have a daughter at home waiting for me to go back, how can I die here." Known as Master Chief, the Marine Corps has a thick beard and looks like a battle-hardened veteran.
He had just shot a zombie running over, only to find that the assault rifle in his hand had suddenly jammed.
"Damn, is it taking too long?" He found that it was the first time that he had been fighting continuously for such a long time, following Major Souler, walking through several cities, killing an unknown number of zombies.
"Master Chief!"
The Marines on the side suddenly exclaimed.
"What?" He wanted to deal with the glitch of the gun in his hand, but found a shadow rushing towards him! It's a zombie!
But the gun in his hand could not shoot a single bullet!
Blood splattered in all directions......
"Get out!" The zombie's mouth bit the man's shoulder, he snorted, raised the rifle in his hand, and after knocking the zombie away with the butt, he immediately pulled out the pistol on his waist and shot several shots at the zombie who was about to get up on the ground.
"Master Chief!"
Several soldiers rushed to his side and helped him to the corner of a dark alley.
"Huh... Ha... Ha ......"
He gasped, a large amount of blood spilling from the torn wound on his shoulder.
"I'll help you bandage your wounds right away!" The soldier began to look for bandages.
"Enough!" He scolded loudly and grabbed the hand of the scrambled soldier: "You know what happens when you are bitten by those monsters!" You get the idea! ”
"But... Master Chief! ”
"Now you're the Master Chief of this team." He stared at the recruit with a slightly immature face: "Quick, the major needs our intelligence, hurry up and get out of here, tell the major that there are the fewest zombies on this road, and the food supply is enough, those civilians haven't been fed for a long time!" ”
"But... I ......"
"Like a new Union soldier." He slammed the jammed assault rifle in his hand with his hand: "Hurry up!" That's an order! ”
“……”
They knew what the man was ready for.
"Take care of Master Chief." After handing over the remaining load rifle magazines to the Master Chief, they resolutely chose to leave.
And in the darkness of the night, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at this dying human in a dark corner.
