Chapter 17: The Way of Life
The sound caught the attention of the first two people, and they followed the source of the sound, only to see a young man with black linen clothes and trousers standing about seven steps behind them, and his pale face could be faintly seen in the loose hair.
First Ming asked, "What kind of life?"
The young man did not reply, but stepped forward slowly, the black pupils exposed between his hair kept looking at the two, and he said to the first Ming: "If I guess correctly, you are not a black baby. After speaking, he turned his head to Heiwa and said with a smile: "You are Heiwa." ”
The first Ming said, "So what?"
When the young man heard this, he turned his head to the first Ming, and lifted his loose hair with his fingers, revealing a delicate but slightly pale face under the ends of the hair, and said, "I think we can cooperate." My name is Soul Life. ”
This person showed an evil spirit, which made First Ming vigilant, but it was difficult to figure out the routine in the current situation, so he decided to contact him first, "My name is Ming, his name is Heiwa, how can I cooperate with the law?"
After hearing this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he turned his head to Heiwa again, and at the same time looked around him, and said in his mouth: "I can take you to live, correspondingly, you take me to live." ”
Heiwa didn't like this person very much, and when she saw this person looking at herself, she was a little angry, bowed down slightly, and made an attacking gesture.
First Ming stretched out his hand to stop the walking soul and said, "How can I take you to live?
The soul is also accepted when he sees it, and after being stopped by the first Ming, he no longer goes around in circles, walks back to the two of them, and says, "Why don't you die." He turned to the pile of people who had already passed the test, and said, "Except for those who can pass the next stage of the test, the rest are dead and alive!"
First Ming listened, thought about the matter of the Xiao clan, and said secretly: Even if the beast is fierce, it is impossible to kill all people, why do everyone except the armor die ? With doubts, First Ming asked: "Then what can you do? Why did you choose to come to us?"
Soul Sheng said: "I came to you because Heiwa is very strong, as for the method, I can't say it now." ”
The first Ming said: "How do you know that the black baby is powerful, although I brought it, but the black baby is also considered to have escaped, how can it be compared to those who have tried?" After speaking, he pointed to those testers who failed the test.
Soul said: "Because Heiwa didn't give up the test until the end, it was you who gave up the test, obviously, after the strong man called the dog, the difficulty of the test has more than doubled, so Heiwa has not given up, which means that even if Heiwa's ability is not as good as those who pass, it will not be worse there, which is not comparable to those who have not passed."
The first Ming chuckled and said, "You have a good eye." However, you haven't even said the method, so why should we believe you?"
Soul Sheng said: "I still know some secrets, I can tell you what to do next and what not to do." ”
"Oh, then, what are we going to do next?"
Hearing this, the soul turned to look at the crowd, and said slowly: "In this group of people, the testers still have tests in the second half of the night, and today's test has divided us into three, six, nine and so on, and different levels have different treatments. Those who have passed the test have another test, and after passing the test, they can become the first class, the reserve soldier. Those who fail to pass the second test are second-class, and they are a sergeant in the army. Those who did not pass the first test and did not die were given the third rank, and those who joined the army were corporal overseers. As for the last class, it is like us, those who have not signed up for the test, for the middle and lower ranks of the army, carry baggage, build bridges and roads. ”
"Even if this is the case, if a civilian like us dies and dies, how can the corporal overseer die?"
"Huh. The soul sheng laughed when he heard the words of the first Ming, but his voice was extremely cold, with endless mockery, "If you go to fight people, the Overseer will naturally live, and if you go to fight the Xiao Clan, what is the difference between the Overseer and the pawn? ”
The first Ming listened, thinking back to the bloodthirstiness of the black baby, and then thinking about how irritable the black baby would be if he didn't have himself, he shuddered, and was about to speak, when a voice came from afar. The test was over, and the test sergeant stood on the high platform and shouted, "Pass the tester, follow me!"
After Heiwa, many people withdrew from the game, and after a very few, they were all big men, and there were more than 80 people in the phalanx who joined the pass. More than 80 people were untrained, and the formation was loose, and the leader followed the armor soldiers and walked outside the camp with the phalanx.
"What are they doing here?" asked First Ming.
The soul looked at the marching queue, with some envy in his eyes, and replied: "Conduct an endurance test, and march for a long time after carrying weights, and those who pass can be prepared for armor." ”
First Ming asked, "What kind of existence is the Gang Soldier?"
Instead of replying immediately, Soul Sheng asked, "Do you know about the Bodybuilding Soup?"
First Ming only knew that the health soup seemed to be related to the beast clan, so he replied, "I don't know." ”
Soul Sheng said: "It is rumored that the body soup is the secret medicine of Beijian City, specially made for the armor, the armor eats, not only can endure hunger, for a long time, the strength is long, the body is hard, the more you eat, the stronger the body, over time, the strength is infinite, invulnerable!"
"That being the case, this guy thinks that he can share some soup and water in it, so it is second-class. However, since this thing is made exclusively for armorers, what does it have to do with armor preparations?"
The soul replied, "This is one of the secrets. As he spoke, he looked around and saw that the crowd gathered just now had dispersed, so he lowered his voice and continued: "This health soup, others only say that it is magical, but in fact, its essence is just Xiao broth!
After speaking, he stared at the first Ming, ready to cover his mouth at any time, for fear that he would be startled. However, the first Ming's reaction surprised him, and he saw that the first Ming was not only not surprised after hearing it, but only nodded slightly, and asked, "That's the case, what does it have to do with the armor guard?"
Seeing that his secret did not cause surprise, the soul was slightly shocked in his heart, so he lowered his voice even more, and approached the first Ming and whispered: "This health soup is not something that everyone can drink... The Xiao clan is irritable, the eater will go crazy, and if one is not careful, he will become half beast and half human in an instant!"
I see! First Ming suddenly realized, this can also explain the existence of the armor guards, and even more can explain why those armor soldiers are moody and short-tempered, not because of their nature, but because of the reason for eating Xiao meat! However, he was still a little unsure, so he asked: "Since it is not for everyone to drink, and the body soup is so precious, how can there be a man, this kind of loophole, it is unknown?"
Bending over and speaking made the soul a little uncomfortable, he took a step forward, straightened up slightly, and replied: "You must know that not everyone can do it, the stronger the body, the more likely it is, so it is considered the second screening of the people above, if you can withstand the power of the beast and not lose your mind, then you can pass the test to become a soldier, if you lose your mind and kill something, it will not be effortless." ”
The first Ming listened, did not ask again, but fell into silence, this world did not let him feel like a traverser dragon into the sea, but every step was like walking on thin ice, no matter how cautious he was, the road ahead seemed so dangerous.
If Earth has an invisible food chain pyramid, then this world is a naked pyramid structure, and there is no way to change one's class here except to become stronger in physical strength. Even if he is as noble as a city lord, he can only tremble in front of the strong.
Seeing that First Ming didn't reply, Soul Sheng didn't intend to end there, he pointed to the people scattered on the school field and said to First Ming: "These people don't know how terrifying the beast clan is, and when they go to the battlefield, most of them will be killed by the beast before they can react." Those who are tested, if they become armor soldiers, will have a one-month training period, during which time they will receive Xiao broth and become armor soldiers. Originally, your vitality was to become a soldier through Heiwa, and then bless you, but now Heiwa has no chance, and in less than a month, only two days later, we will be transported to the front line of Beijian City to serve as a baggage man. If you're unlucky, you'll be killed by the Xiao on the first day you're sent to battle. In other words, at the shortest, we only have three days to live. ”
First Ming listened, took a deep look at the soul life, and asked, "The longest, how long will it take for us heavy men to come back." ”
Hearing this, the soul life's pale face became a little paler, and he turned his head, with a strange look in his eyes, revealing a strange smile: "There is no return date, and you will return after death." ”
First Ming suddenly stared at the soul and said, "Then how did you come back!"
When the soul heard this, his eyes were a little sluggish, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm back, what's the difference between not coming back and not coming back? Aren't I here now?" ”
Sure enough, this person is here for the second time! But looking at his appearance, there must be a story in it, but he doesn't know good and evil, and he still needs to continue to observe, the first Ming thought secretly, and said: "In this case, you are also qualified to cooperate with us, I hope you know everything." ”
After hearing this, Soul Sheng showed a look of great joy on his delicate face, his sloppy eyes condensed, and he said happily: "I must know everything, the three of us are currently tied to the same boat, and only cooperation can survive!"
First Ming nodded, and then asked about Soul Sheng's last experience, Soul Sheng smiled bitterly, and was about to say it, when there was a commotion outside.
The first Ming thought that the people who were testing were back, but the people who didn't think about it were crying, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear that there were old and young among them. This attracted the attention of everyone in the field, and everyone in the field looked towards the camp gate. But seeing the commotion at the gate of the camp, a black-armored soldier came in after a while, shouting: "Wait for the queue to come and see our execution, so that you can know the fate of your escape!" After speaking, a bunch of sergeants with leather whips came out from behind him, and they slammed at the crowd in the field.
Seeing this, the first Ming hurriedly led the two of them to run into the field, so as not to be whipped.
After about ten minutes, the sloppy standing in the field formed multiple phalanxes, and the armor soldier nodded after seeing it, turned around and waved his hand to signal forward. First Ming and the others were in a row of three, and they also followed the soldiers out of the camp.
