Chapter 43:
As soon as this thought occurred, a woman's scream resounded through the mall.
in the crowd!
Basang turned back quickly.
Winter Solstice is here!
The adventure in the underground supermarket just now made him form a reflex to the enemy, and his tense body responded at once.
The talisman turned into a bright light and swept towards the source of the sound. The roar of the beast sounded, and it was another human scream.
Suddenly from the bright environment to the dark, ordinary people's eyes can't fully adapt, but the monster has no such problem at all, because it relies on smell to catch its prey, and before they can react at the winter solstice, there are already two people. Died in the dark.
On the winter solstice, turn on the light of the mobile phone, hold the sword in one hand, and stare at the surroundings closely.
Gu Meiren played the flute, trying to paralyze the monster's action.
Bassan let the crowd gather further, standing on the periphery.
With a bang, there was little movement, but it was particularly conspicuous in the silence of everyone holding their breaths.
The winter solstice's reaction is getting faster and faster now. Almost at the same time as the sound, he has not even had time to see what it is, and the talisman has already flown out!
Roar!
Sure enough, there are monsters!
And the talisman seemed to hit, and the monster swooped into the partition of the ceiling.
Everyone tried to suppress their gasps.
The woman who wanted to cry also gritted her teeth, for fear that she would be the next prey.
The winter solstice said in a muffled voice: "You have to find the emergency power supply quickly!"
The monster has initially possessed the wisdom of human beings. It is precisely because of the weakness that humans cannot see in the dark that it chooses this time to attack.
Basang immediately said: "I'll go!"
The teller stammered: "I-I'm afraid!"
Basang was not angry: "I'm also afraid, so let's stay and wait to die together!"
Winter Solstice said softly: "Basang is very powerful, don't be afraid, go with him, with light, we can deal with the monster, and you can save yourself."
This kind of comfort seemed to have an effect, the teller tremblingly followed behind Basang, grabbed his arm tightly, and the two quickly left.
Winter Solstice was worried that the monsters would attack when they were alone, but he couldn't follow him because there were other people here who needed his protection.
It seems that it has not been more than a year since the encounter on the train to Changbai, but his mentality has changed a lot.
From shivering like this group of ordinary people waiting to be protected, to protecting others on their own.
For such progress, the Winter Solstice can not help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
It would be even better if the male **** could see his heroic performance by his side.
A faint regret flashed in my heart, and the woman's screams were once again heard on the winter solstice.
It's the teller!
His heart suddenly twitched.
Gu Meiren shouted: "Basang!"
What answered him was the sound of fierce fighting and the whistle of Basang, as if some animal was flapping its wings, it should be a falcon summoned by Basang.
The winter solstice reminds Gu Meiren: "Play the flute!"
The latter woke up like a dream and quickly picked up the flute and played it.
Winter Solstice frowned, suddenly remembered something.
If there are more than one monsters, and one of them follows the trail to attack Basang, the other one will stay, and they will take the opportunity to hunt when their hearts are shattered...
A faint fishy smell came from his nose, and without even thinking about it, he threw the talisman fire straight up.
The light of the mobile phone lit up, and the dark shadow flashed by, confirming his guess.
The winter solstice turned around abruptly, and the shadow was dashing behind Gu Meiren.
"Get down!" He yelled, and the man ran away, stabbing Gu Meiren.
Gu Meiren obviously trusts the Winter Solstice a lot. As soon as his words came out, Gu Meiren leaned forward without even thinking about it.
At this time, the sword was just handed to the position where she had been standing for a second, and there was exactly the position where the monster rushed!
The sword blade is inserted into the monster's head!
Gu Meiren only felt the heat in the back of her head, and the fishy liquid splashed on her head, and the strange smell made her retching.
The winter solstice was panting, his feet softened, and he also knelt down.
If Gu Meiren's reaction had been delayed for a second just now, the Green Master Sword would have pierced into her head.
He almost hurt his companion's life.
The lights are on!
Emergency power is on.
Winter Solstice and Gu Meiren looked at each other and smiled.
He said, "Thank you for your trust."
Gu Meiren: "Happy cooperation."
When Basang came back, he dragged his steps with heavy steps, and there was no joy on his face.
Everyone knows why.
Because the teller was killed by a monster just now, maybe in order not to turn her into a zombie, Basang also took her life easily.
"She was torn off a piece of meat, and I had to kill her," Basang said.
"You've tried your best." Dongzhi wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but he avoided him.
Bassan turned around slowly.
Gu Meiren took a deep breath.
A few ordinary people subconsciously took a few steps backwards.
Basang's shirt has been scratched, and a bloodstain is slowly seeping out from the upper left to the lower right of the back.
The wound itself was not fatal, but those monsters also carried corpse poison.
Once caught or bitten, what awaits them is the fate of becoming a zombie.
No one can make an exception.
Gu Meiren stared blankly at his wound, speechless for a long time.
Winter Solstice forced an ugly smile: "Maybe, maybe there will be exceptions!"
Basang said dejectedly: "I just saw that woman die with my own eyes, and she began to turn into a corpse, and then I killed her."
Winter Solstice said: "But you are a practitioner, your body is stronger than ordinary people..."
"So after becoming a zombie, it will be more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies!" Basan interrupted him, "Kill me, I don't want to become a zombie."
Winter Solstice didn't even think about it: "No way!"
Basang stretched out his hand and seemed to want to pat his arm, but he withdrew his hand halfway.
Although this Kangba man is careless, he has always been thick and thin, and his unwillingness to implicate his friends makes Dongzhi's eyes sore.
"It's nice to meet you. Really, my master doesn't approve of me at the Court. It was me who wanted to come out and see the outside world. I was cheated on toll fees on the way. At that time, I thought the people outside were really bad, but I knew After you, I feel that my thinking is too naive, there are bad people in the world, and there must be good people, I am very lucky to have two friends who are close as brothers and can live and die together!"
Gu Meiren covered her mouth with a whimper and sobbed.
The winter solstice couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to hug him tightly.
"I originally wanted to invite you to come and play with me during the holiday. Our butter tea is the best brewed in that area, but if there is a chance in the future, I have to trouble you to help me go home and tell me about my death. Father, mother and master!" Basang patted his back and motioned for him to let go.
Winter Solstice: "Stop talking!"
Ba Sang suddenly broke free from him, and the Winter Solstice was caught off guard by being pushed away for several steps, and he saw Ba Sang pull out the short blade from his waist and insert it directly into his throat.
"Basang!" Gu Meiren rushed up.
Basang looked at them with a smile, blood rushed out from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes gradually became slack.
The hand slowly loosened, released from the place where he was holding the handle of the knife, and fell down.
Moisture quickly spread to the eyes of the winter solstice, and his throat seemed to be choked by a stone, unable to move up or down, unable to speak at all.
"Zombie! Another zombie came in outside!" Someone shouted in panic.
Looking back at the winter solstice, there are a few more figures wandering in at the entrance of the mall, swaying around, at first one or two, but if you look closely, there are a bunch of them behind, it seems that you are attracted by the only remaining fresh popularity here. more and more.
Gu Meiren gasped, picked up the flute, and started to play.
The winter solstice gritted his teeth, his body that was hungry and weak was filled with anger because of Basang's death, he clenched his long sword and strode forward.
The only runes left in his pocket were not enough, but he didn't need runes. Today's winter solstice can be like Liu Qingbo. The sword rises and the head falls. Wherever the sword light goes, zombies fall one after another, as if taking the initiative to help him. Give way, fall to the ground, be a slave and a servant.
Gu Meiren stared blankly as he walked among the zombies, raising his sword and falling with ease.
Under the light, the young man had black hair and white skin, and his face was calm, as if he was just doing something extraordinary.
But in the eyes of others, it was quite shocking.
Gu Meiren never knew that killing zombies can also create a sense of art.
The winter solstice didn't feel like killing leeks at all, and he was now holding on to it all with one breath.
Only he himself knew that his hands had begun to tremble, and the light sword in his hand seemed to weigh thousands of pounds at this time.
A zombie grabbed his shoulder from behind, and he was about to bite down when he opened his mouth, and he almost didn't even have the strength to turn around.
too tired.
I miss that big bed in the dorm room of the Special Administration Bureau.
I really want to lie down and sleep.
Zombies poured in one after another from outside the door, as if they couldn't kill them no matter how hard they tried.
At such a critical moment, Winter Solstice suddenly remembered that night when he was in Longshen's dormitory, he received a call from Gu Meiren saying that Huiyiguang had an accident, so he hurried out, but Longshen stopped him, The scene of letting him bring the Green Master Sword.
He still remembered that the light in that room was warm, and the dragon under the light seemed to be a little softer.
That person's heart is not as cold and inhuman as it seems.
The ceiling burst open with a bang, a black shadow descended from the sky, landed in the zombie swarm, and leaped at him quickly!
And a monster!
But the winter solstice didn't have the strength to react at all, and could only watch the monster approach with lightning speed.
In one ten thousandth of a second, the monster swept in front of him from two meters away, and the sharp claws grabbed him head-on, with a strong wind!
Can't dodge.
When Dongzhi realized this, his body could no longer keep up with the response of his brain, and even his spirit became dull.
After fighting for a whole night, he was extremely tired, his eyes were hard to hold up, and there was a feeling of double images when he saw things.
Forget it, fighting to the death is worthy of Basang, even with Gu Meiren behind him, and those ordinary people...
It was bright outside, and dawn finally came.
The winter solstice wanted to turn their heads and let them run quickly, but couldn't exert any strength, and could only watch the monsters get closer and closer.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery was suddenly distorted and blurred, and the eyes were bright.
The monster that was rushing towards the face suddenly disappeared, and the **** smell and stench that filled the nose disappeared instantly.
Together with the shopping mall, and the zombies that poured into the shopping mall, they are all gone.
He just felt dizzy, his legs were weak, and he couldn't help sitting down on the ground.
Dongzhi closed his eyes and felt that he might be too tired and had hallucinations, otherwise why would he suddenly see Wu Bingtian and Long Shen?
He was not the only one who was dazed. All of them were sitting in a classroom, either pale, or with unresolved pain, or gasping for breath, full of vigilance, and obviously they had not recovered from the doomsday crisis just now.
Wu Bingtian stood in front of them with his hands folded and said coldly, "I announce that among the twenty people who participated in the training, only ten survived, namely Li Ying, Liu Qingbo, Dongzhi, Gu Meiren, Zhang Song, Xie Qingning, Liu Si. , Ouyang Yin, Zuo Xinggui, Zhuang Rongrong! All those who died in the simulation training will be recorded on the file. If you are still eliminated in the next training, you must leave the Special Administration Bureau. Come to the exam again next year!"
So, the night just passed, it really was training?
Everyone looked around blankly and looked at each other, and when they saw their companion who had "died" last night, they couldn't help being surprised.
The winter solstice also saw Ba Sang. He just got up from the ground and touched his throat with a painful expression, as if he was still in fear of being pierced by his own dagger before dying. Mouth, shoulders shrugged slightly.
Others are not much better than them, and even more excited than them, someone touched his chest and muttered to himself, "I'm not dead, I'm really not dead."
Wu Bingtian and Long Shen did not stop everyone's gaffe, and let them vent there.
The winter solstice couldn't help looking at Longshen.
The latter seemed to notice his gaze, glanced at him, and nodded slightly.
The little heart, which was so tired from the winter solstice, seemed to be injected with vitality again.
He couldn't help but return a self-confident smile.
Long Shen's smile seemed to be a little deeper.
When Wu Bingtian came over, the mood of the winter solstice had gradually calmed down.
When everyone's emotions were almost vented, Wu Bingcai said: "This holographic simulation equipment is the latest achievement of Sino-US cooperation. Americans believe that biochemical crisis will happen in the future, so the simulation background is the modern city under the biochemical crisis. The bodies of those who died in the simulation training will be ejected from the simulation environment, but in the simulation environment, your 'corpses' still exist and are converted into NPCs. This simulation is the first year to be implemented. This kind of sudden training is to test the on-the-spot reaction ability of each of you."
Everyone smiled wryly, obviously having lingering fears about everything just now.
But Wu Bingtian's face was not good-looking.
"Twenty of you, the final survival rate is half. If this number is included in ordinary people, I will be very pleased, but don't forget, you are a future member of the Special Administration Bureau! You are not ordinary people! As a national level Cultivators, you actually killed half of your people in just one night. With this survival rate, how can you compete with other countries in the world, ah?!”
His voice grew louder and louder, and in the end it was an indisputable rebuke.
Liu Qingbo couldn't help but said: "But we didn't know there was training, we had already had a day's class at that time..."
Haven't even eaten.
Wu Bingtian said angrily: "If a crisis is going to break out, people won't care if you are hungry or sleeping! What is a crisis? It happens when you are unprepared! What is a sudden training? The ability to react under the situation! Will the zombies call you first and then come out! Will those monsters and ghosts send a text message to notify you first!"
Some people couldn't help laughing out loud, but they were quickly choked by Wu Bingtian's eyes.
Wu Bingtian glanced at everyone, and as far as his eyes could see, many people lowered their heads and dared not look at him.
He snorted coldly: "I know that you have lived in a comfortable environment for a long time, and feel that the world is still safe, at most there are occasional emergencies, but I want to tell you! The world is unsafe, and dangers are everywhere. And many dangers are lurking in the dark. If you are as ignorant as ordinary people, you don't know when you will die, and you don't even know how to die! Just like you, you can't even protect yourself, and you can count on it. Are you going to protect ordinary people!"
This killing power bar is obviously very effective. During the day, Director Jiang came in to give a thought class. While everyone was surprised and amused, there was a feeling that "the Special Administration Bureau is just like this". As a result, just when the mind was just relaxed, the Special Administration The bureau gave them such a vivid lesson.
I guess it will be hard for everyone to forget it in this lifetime.
"You think that you have passed the written test and interview, and you have already stepped into the door of the Special Administration Bureau, don't you? I tell you, there will be countless tests waiting for you, if you hold I'm lucky enough to come here and hang around, and when the training is completed, on the day of the practical exam, maybe even my life will be lost!"
Seeing that everyone was honest and depressed, Wu Bingtian sneered and stared at Chi Banxia: "Chi Banxia, you think it's safe to follow Li Ying, so you stick to him when you go in and out, but you still lose your life, I'll tell you. , The Special Administration Bureau has never raised dodder grass, but if you hold the idea of depending on others, reality will teach you to be a human being, this 'death' is just a lesson, I hope you can remember the lesson!"
Chi Banxia was so trained that her face was flushed and she couldn't raise her head.
Wu Bingtian: "And you, Basang! At that time, the second-level zombie attacked behind your back. If you were more flexible and reacted faster, you might not be able to avoid it, but because of the difference of half a second, you lost your life. You feel wronged yourself!"
"Injustice! From now on, I will definitely practice my reflexes!" Basang nodded again and again.
Wu Bingtian commented on the people who died in the training one by one.
The Winter Solstice found that their performance last night was clearly seen by the leaders, including what everyone did, how to deal with the crisis, how to get along with their peers, how to treat ordinary people, and so on.
But then again, the future backbone elites of the dignified Special Administrative Bureau will be wiped out in half when they encounter a crisis, so it is no wonder that Wu Bingtian is very annoyed.
Not only were the "dead" people scolded one by one, but the survivors were also unable to escape.
Wu Bingtian said, "Liu Qingbo! You were on a team with Li Ying at that time, why did you leave on your own and run back to the Special Administration Bureau!"
Liu Qingbo defended: "I want to go back and see if there are any survivors in the bureau..."
Wu Bingtian: "What about the ordinary people in the mall, don't you care? Leave them all to your comrades! Even if there are survivors in the bureau, but Xiang Yong's car experience is vivid in my mind, your behavior is not called Brave, reckless! No brains!"
Liu Qingbo was not convinced: "But I survived to the end!"
Wu Bingtian said with a cold face: "So what? If you didn't pass by the cafeteria and happened to find an electrician's workshop, would you still be so lucky?"
His voice became more and more severe: "Don't forget, you are not single-handed practitioners, you represent the Special Administration Bureau, which means that you not only have to protect yourself, but also be responsible for the lives of ordinary people! You are another meaning. The law enforcer and defender on the top! You leave your companions and ordinary people who need to be protected. Even if you survive to the end, what is there to be proud of? You are ashamed of your identity! If you do it again, I would rather have Basang or Late Banxia, don't want a selfish person like you!"
Being reprimanded like this in front of everyone, Liu Qingbo's face turned blue and white for a while, and he couldn't get off the stage.
Because of his father's background, since he came to the capital, he has been taken care of all the way. When meeting his leaders or elders, they are all pleasant and praising him for being young and promising. Even the deputy director Wu Bingtian and Wu had a good attitude towards him before. Kind and amiable, let alone reprimand, not even a single heavy word. Liu Qingbo, who has always been surrounded by praise and praise, has been so disgraced for the first time in public.
He clenched his fist tightly, but couldn't say a word to refute.
Wu Bingtian: "Winter Solstice, your abilities are relatively simple now. In your three-person team, once Ba Sang dies, the combat effectiveness between you and Gu Meiren will be greatly weakened. If the simulation time just ended, there will be another name on the death list. Also, when Li Ying proposed to separate, not only did you not try your best to convince him to stay, but you let him take people away, and a team was completely dismantled. If there are really zombies attacking, all of you will eventually have to Destroy the group! Your total score ranks first, but if you don't have the corresponding team leadership skills, what's the use of a higher score?"
What he said was very pertinent, and the Winter Solstice was straightforward: "I was wrong."
Wu Bingtian glanced at him, then turned his eyes to the others: "And you, Li Ying. You took Chi Banxia and Liu Si to find the big army, and you saved a group of ordinary people along the way, but at the same time committed a fatal Error, do you know what it is?"
Li Ying nodded: "When I was saving people, I didn't check their identities carefully, ignored the dangerous elements hidden inside, and even caused the death of Banxia."
What dangerous element? The crowd looked curious.
Wu Bingtian said: "In the simulation scene, the lethality of ordinary zombies is average, and it may be fatal to ordinary people, but to practitioners, except for the large number, it does not pose a threat. The second-level zombies are Winter Solstice and Zhang Song. The evolutionary body encountered has no vision, but the sense of smell is very sensitive, and its mobility is much faster than that of ordinary zombies. , it can simulate biological forms in a short time, such as humans, this kind of zombies can be mixed with ordinary people, and it is hard to prevent them, this is what Li Ying and the others encountered."
That's too bad, who would have expected zombies to simulate human form!
In this way, they can also simulate animal forms, and even plant forms, how can they be prevented?
Seemingly seeing everyone's doubts, Long Shen, who was silent on the side, finally said: "You are not ordinary people, you have to do better what ordinary people can do, and what ordinary people can't do, you have to do even more. , the incompetent can only perfunctory and comfort themselves with excuses like 'negligence', 'not paying attention', and 'careless'."
Wu Bingtian nodded: "Long Bureau is right, this sudden training is to teach you a profound lesson and let you know how far you are from a truly qualified Special Administrative Bureau personnel! You know the United States. Is there a survival rate for them? In the first burst training like this, there were fifty people in total, and in the end, twenty-nine people survived. The survival rate is 58%, which is 8% higher than ours! This five Among the ten people, there are some ordinary people who are not practitioners, but what about you?"
The people were disgraced.
Wu Bingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were all slumped.
"I hope that through this training, you will be able to discover your own shortcomings, instead of blindly looking for excuses to evade prevarication! A person who does not know how to reflect will never make progress. No matter how much you cultivate, your realm will only stop. Before! Take a day off tomorrow, at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, class as usual, dismissed!"
After he finished speaking, he remembered that Long Shen was beside him, and hurriedly said, "Is there anything else the Long Bureau has to say?"
Long Shen said lightly: "Ju Wu has finished speaking, I have nothing to add."
Wu Bingtian choked: "That's it, disband!"
Rumors that Jiang Ju is not good at business and loves to command blindly are widely circulated in the Special Administrative Bureau. It is said that the impression of him is not as good as before. The news of Jiang Ju being dismissed or transferred from time to time. If the news is conclusive, then it is true. The position of the bureau is vacant.
Wu Bingtian was naturally eager to move in the position of the main game. He could not keep Song Zhi in his eyes, but he did not dare to underestimate Long Shen, a powerful competitor.
But these are competitions between high-level executives, and they have nothing to do with the Winter Solstice.
Many people haven't eaten yet, but they don't feel hungry when they are too hungry.
People who "failed" in training are naturally dejected, and "survivors" may not be so happy. For someone with high self-esteem like Liu Qingbo, scolding him is more uncomfortable than killing him. He walked away with an ugly face. No one dared to come forward to provoke him.
Gu Meiren helped Ba Sang to stand up, and turned to look for the Winter Solstice, but found that the other party had disappeared.
"Dragon Bureau!"
The winter solstice chased out of the classroom and called Long Shen in front of him.
