"Ren Tongxin died. He was too flustered during the battle and accidentally fell to the ground. The Horned Python behind him took the opportunity to attack. Its venomous fangs pierced through his calf. In less than a minute, his face turned purple and he started foaming at the mouth. His vitality was quickly fading away..."
"On the third day, we encountered a small team. They tried their best to be friendly to us, but the mottled blood on their clothes and their sinister gaze still exposed them. They were a group of hunters, the blackened ones that the instructor mentioned."
"They were too strong. Only nine of us managed to escape. Half of our loot was taken away, and we also lost more than half of our supplies. The situation will become very dangerous from now on..."
"It's so cold. I feel like I'm going to die. Today, the team encountered a group of zombies. Damn it, why are there such things here?"
"There are only five people left in the team. I personally twisted Ning Lan's neck. She was bitten by a zombie. She had only successfully awakened the day before, but her injuries were too severe. Her internal organs had already been invaded, and her eyes started to turn white and lifeless. The others suggested to wait, but I didn't dare to take the risk. If Ning Lan really turned into a zombie, everyone... will die..."
"There's only me and Huazi left. This is the last day. As long as we hold on for a little longer, we can complete this training. Why are there footsteps outside? Damn it... Someone broke in... "
In a simple room, there was nothing but the usual table, chairs, and bed.
A thin figure with a face as pale as snow. His vitality was extremely lacking, as if he had yet to recover from a serious injury. He gave off a very weak feeling.
Closing the diary, Li Kanghua stood up from the bedside. Listening to the noise outside the door, Li Kanghua was expressionless. His heart, which had long been numb, became even colder at this moment.
He was lucky. Out of the nineteen people in the team, Li Kanghua was the only survivor. He had to lie in the mud for the remaining eleven hours, and only then did he manage to survive the ordeal.
In the three days since he returned to the reserves, Li Kanghua had become more and more reclusive. He was silent, neither happy nor sad, and treated everything around him coldly.
Of the twelve thousand people who had trained together, only two thousand nine hundred people were left. In just seven days, three quarters of their lives had been lost. Reality proved that the seed of darkness, under the irrigation of time and jealousy, had slowly sprouted and grown into a bloodthirsty man-eating flower.
Darkness, betrayal, slaughter, bewilderment, helplessness, resentment …
No one knew how these people had survived for seven days, but one thing was certain. They had witnessed death and slaughter, blood and battle. They were no longer caged birds, but real young eagles that had fallen off the cliff.
In such an environment, apart from a small number of people who still yearned for the light, the majority of people had already understood the so-called darkness. They loved killing and witnessing blood. They became the talents and new recruits that the Alliance desired the most.
Perhaps the most unbearable thing was that familiar teammates disappeared in front of their eyes one after another.
Ren Tongxin, who had made a solemn vow and acted as if he knew everything, died the next day on a nameless path. His girlfriend also slipped and fell into an ant nest in the evening. In normal times, the entrance of an ant nest was only the size of a finger. However, in the apocalypse, the ants mutated. Ordinary ants were the size of a fist. Everyone heard Ren Tongxin's girlfriend's cry for help. Her body was covered with ants, and even the sound of them biting her flesh could be heard clearly.
Rescue?
That was simply impossible.
The ants in the ant nest had already been alarmed. If they rushed to rescue her, they would only implicate themselves. And in that case, even if they really rescued her, it would only add to the pain. It would not be long before she died tragically from the infection of her wounds.
Li Kanghua was right. The group was walking on a cliff. If they were careless, they would fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
Through this experience, Li Kanghua understood that this was not important. In this chaotic era, strength was the only thing that mattered.
At this moment, Li Kanghua took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a thumb-sized pill. The pill was blue in color and had a faint mint smell.
After many bloody battles, the spoils of war were not completely useless. During the assessment of the spoils, Li Kanghua was the only survivor in the group. In addition, he had triggered a mutation in a part of his energy. As a result, he had received an Awakening Pill!
The Awakening Pill had mild medicinal properties. It was refined from the sap of the Fallen Star Tree. It could stimulate one's physique, strengthen one's senses, and purify one's strength.
The City of Silver was made up of dozens of forces, big and small. Naturally, they had some means. This Fallen Star Tree was a product of another dimension. It had existed for countless years, and its sap had an extremely strong vitality. After being concocted by some pill masters, it could stimulate one's potential. Although it could not be compared to the more precious gene medicine, it was valuable in that its medicinal properties were mild and did not do any harm to the human body.
The Awakening Pill could stimulate one's potential. For ordinary people like Li Kanghua, it could increase the chances of awakening as a professional. For reserve forces, it could be said to be a treasure among treasures. After all, possessing it was equivalent to obtaining an entry ticket to the peak.
This was a world where strength reigned supreme. Those few days of dark training had a great impact on Li Kanghua. It was like a brand that had been embedded in his heart and could not be removed.
This feeling was very subtle. Although there were no changes to his physical appearance, Li Kanghua could feel how explosive the aura that emerged from his heart was.
Awakening!
To Li Kanghua, he had worked so hard for so long for these two words.
"Pa pa …"
Just as Li Kanghua was still thinking, a series of noises came from outside the door. He could not help but feel puzzled. He went forward and opened the door.
When the door opened, he saw that there was a crowd outside. It was as if it was a festival. Everyone's face was filled with complicated expressions.
Li Kanghua took a step forward and grabbed one of them. He asked, "Brother, what happened?"
The man was in his early thirties. He looked a little anxious, as if there was something urgent. He said loudly, "Don't you know? I heard that there's a faction called Order thousands of miles away. They're in dire need of manpower, so they're recruiting people from the City of Silver. There's no age limit. I heard that if you go, you'll be given free housing and food. People are going crazy, especially the old, weak, sick, and disabled. They didn't have much hope in life to begin with, but they all passed the interview! "
"By the way, there's another big thing. The training operation that was scheduled for a few months later has been canceled. I heard that we've reached some agreement with Order. It seems like there's a possibility of completely banning such operations. If you ask me, we should've done so long ago. Every few months, large numbers of people die. It's a sin!"
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'll tell you the truth. My right leg was broken while working last year. Now, I'm a cripple. If I stay in the City of Silver, I'll starve to death sooner or later. I want to sign up. I want to give Order a try!"
After the man said that, he broke free from Li Kanghua's arm and limped off into the distance.
Li Kanghua stood rooted to the ground. He didn't care about Order, nor did he want to delve into the bitterness behind the man's disability. In his mind, there was only one sentence.
[The training might be banned!]
