Chapter 155: Phantom Chameleon
Before the apocalypse erupted and society collapsed, Kyoto University was one of the most prestigious universities in the country and the world. Therefore, it is natural for the world to assume that most of the students who can get close to Kyoto University are elite, people with high IQs and analytical skills.
The average high school student cannot be admitted to Kyoto University at all.
Of course, there are always exceptions, and there is nothing that money or power can't solve. But in addition, only the top students in various cities and towns can be admitted.
Bai Ze is naturally one of them. Things are a little more complicated, though. Because his family was relatively poor, in order for his sister Meng Qi to be admitted to a good university, he had to spend a lot of time working to earn tuition.
This made Bai Ze waste a lot of time that should have been spent on studying, and his grades were naturally not worth mentioning, and he was considered average in such a good university.
"Everyone has their own difficulties." Bai Ze replied casually. He didn't want to say that, unlike them and Chen He, he had to fend for himself.
After all, Shirasawa is not one to like to say excuses that sound like pathetic. His grades are mediocre and that's it. There's nothing magical about achieving excellent results, though.
Isn't the current situation enough to prove it?
Shangguan Bingxue and Wu Yijun glanced at each other, and the eyes of the two women flashed with curiosity. Even if he doesn't say it, the two of them can draw their own conclusions from their current understanding of Bai Ze.
After Shangguan Bingxue's question and Bai Ze's selfless answer, the three of them fell silent and walked forward slowly. They may all have different ideas, but if there's one thing in common, it's that each of them has become alert.
...
After walking for more than 20 minutes, there was still no trace of the barracks. However, this is understandable, considering that it is simply impossible for the army and the government to build a military base with an arsenal a few minutes from the main road.
Having said that, Bai Ze still frowned suddenly.
"Something isn't quite right...... Too quiet? Wu Yijun whispered a little nervously.
Shangguan Bingxue squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.
Except for the gentle sound of the wind, the gentle swaying of the branches, or the occasional rustle of green leaves, the forest was silent. There was not even a trace of the beast, and it was strange that they had gone deep into the forest at this time.
This kind of calm made Bai Ze have a bad premonition, and the thoughts that flashed in his mind immediately forcibly retreated.
At the moment, his team is in dire need of firepower equipment. Not only because of the threat of monsters, but also because of Camp Whitespring. Until now, Bai Ze did not know whether the other party was friend or foe, so it was best to be prepared for a possible conflict between the two sides.
After walking for another ten minutes, Bai Ze's face changed suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and the two women who were following him also stopped suddenly.
"Strange ......" Bai Ze frowned deeply and muttered to himself.
"What's so strange?" Wu Yijun leaned close to him and whispered.
Bai Ze ignored her and glanced at his Blood Will skill.
[Will of Blood: 0%/50%]
His Will of the Passive Blood skill hasn't changed...... But Bai Ze could feel that something lurked in the shadows. Maybe it was the passive skill danger sensing, but he didn't know it, but decided to rely on that instinct.
Suddenly, Bai Ze's head turned to the right, and at this moment, there was a strange movement in the grass.
Bai Ze snorted and reached out to catch something flying in the distance.
"Tongue?" Seeing the obviously inhuman long tongue, Wu Yijun took a step back in fright.
"Come here!" Bai Ze let out a low roar and pulled hard towards himself.
An object flew towards him from the sky. But the most surprising thing is that this enemy was green as grass at first, but soon became transparent and disappeared completely.
"What?" Shangguan Bingxue was even stunned by what had just happened. She really couldn't feel where the enemy was!
But Bai Ze still felt that his tongue was caught by him, and he could also feel that the enemy was still flying towards him after being forcibly pulled.
With a punch forward, the seemingly vanished enemy exploded into patches of flesh and splattered all over the dirt road.
[You have obtained Phantom Chameleon level 15 soul power]
[Will of Blood: 1%/50%]
Bai Ze's eyes widened in shock, looked at the woman beside him, and said dumbfounded: "That chameleon is actually only level 15...... But we didn't even notice ......"
Shangguan Bingxue and Wu Yijun's faces changed greatly, and Bai Ze's words were shocking. If the monster is a level 15 creature...... That would undoubtedly threaten Wu Yijun's life.
Although Bai Ze's physical fitness is strong, his muscles have been compressed countless times, so the tongue of the phantom chameleon cannot pierce Bai Ze's body, but even Shangguan Bingxue, if he is attacked by surprise, he may not be able to be unscathed.
"Be careful, you two follow me." Bai Ze commanded in a deep voice, and the second daughter immediately nodded.
Even the arrogant Shangguan Bingxue didn't say a word, silently watching his back follow closely behind him.
The forest is very dangerous, and they already know this fact before they enter. However, the appearance of the elusive chameleon makes them realize that the forest is much more dangerous than they initially estimated.
Even a weak enemy can become a deadly presence. Bai Ze thought silently, reminding himself that no matter how weak the enemies were, don't underestimate them.
Didn't he use different tactics, exploiting their weaknesses to defeat enemies who were stronger than him? Bai Ze didn't want to let his guard down because of his current strength and give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it.
Bai Ze believed that the real enemy who could threaten his life was about to appear. But now he realizes that his life has been in danger!
In this world, there is no such thing as security.
