Chapter 2 Physical Fitness Test, Junior Soldier
Lu Ming was suddenly startled, and then came back to his senses in an instant. 【】
It wasn't because of his strong will, but because of the smell that hit his forehead.
It was a disgusting rancid stench.
He held his breath subconsciously, and was shocked by the sight in front of him the next second.
Why?
Because everything I saw through the biological force field has changed drastically!
The originally desolate and peaceful streets were now filled with giant gray-white maggots!
They are huge and plump, as big as an adult wild boar!
Through their skin, you can clearly see the tumbling liquid inside the insect body and the red, blue and green internal organs.
They squirmed wildly, and streams of thick yellow-green mucus oozed from their abdomens, corroding and decomposing the weeds and dead wood on the streets.
The breeze blew by, bringing unforgettable excitement to everyone. That was the source of the rancid odor.
"Ugh! What are these?"
Looking at those giant maggots, some people retched and others were frightened, but Lu Ming no longer stopped and rushed forward.
The giant maggots are obviously squirming, but they don't seem to see themselves, indicating that they are currently either suppressed or banned.
Considering that he had previously blocked himself and filtered out the biological force field of the foreign alien creatures, Lu Ming speculated that it was probably the same kind of thing, but the countdown of the survivors had not ended yet, and the alien creatures were temporarily unable to move.
As a result, the current top priority is already clear, which is to find a temporary shelter!
"Hello!"
Seeing Lu Ming suddenly running wildly, everyone who was shocked by the giant maggots reacted in unison and hurriedly ran around.
Lu Ming had already distanced himself from everyone, and he was looking around at his surroundings.
It couldn't be considered good luck or bad luck. Their location happened to be in an older commercial street.
No, it's not so much a commercial street as a commercial alley, the kind of ordinary alley with facades on the first floor and residential quarters on the second floor.
Looking up at the residential area covered with grass, Lu Ming was extremely moved.
First of all, the community is a residential building, so there are likely to be leftover survival materials, daily necessities, and even a few handy tools.
Secondly, the community has a commanding height, can observe a larger and farther range, and can obtain more geographical information, which has obvious advantages.
It's a pity that the preparation time is so short. It is impossible to enter it. Not to mention whether you can run into the community from the alleyway. Even if you go in, you may not be able to find an unlocked and safe indoor door.
There is no hope for the first choice, so we can only focus on the present, that is, the shops on both sides.
Private supermarkets, breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurants, and hardware stores are of course good. The first two options have supplies and tools, and the latter option has absolutely complete tools.
Stationery stores, photo studios, barber shops, and real estate agencies are the worst choices. Apart from being able to temporarily avoid the intrusion of alien species, you can't expect anything else.
Finally, there are decent mobile phone agencies (including repairs), home appliance repairs, and affordable pharmacies. The former has repair tools, and the latter has medicines. Medicines will never be redundant at any time, unless they are all expired, which is the end of the world. If I want to give you a big responsibility, I can only admit that I am unlucky.
However, he ran a few hundred meters and scanned dozens of stores. Any store involving food, tools, or medicine was either not open, occupied by giant maggots, or simply full, as if they deliberately did not leave the best choices for them. You, so far, have chosen one option to annihilate your entire army.
There were a few safe stationery stores, real estate agencies, and barber shops. Lu Ming wrote them all down as final backup, and then looked at the countdown in front of him. There were two minutes left, and he still had a chance to try his luck.
Another dozen seconds passed, and Huang Tian finally paid off. With one minute and twenty seconds left in the countdown, he saw a mobile phone repair shop with a rolling shutter half open, a glass door tightly closed, but an empty chain lock. Except for three giant maggots entrenched on the left and right of the door, there were no signs of alien species inside.
That’s it!
After locking the target, Lu Ming sprinted with all his strength, took off the chain lock, squeezed open the glass door, crouched and got half of his body inside.
Instead of rushing in, he looked around and searched in all directions. After confirming that there were no living things left in any corner, including the ceiling, he pushed open the glass door, jumped up, pulled down the rolling shutter door to isolate the outside world, and then closed the door with his backhand, closing the door. The chain lock was wrapped around the inside handle of the door and tied tightly.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
After doing all this, Lu Ming's clothes were soaked, as if he had run ten kilometers, and he sat limply on the ground.
His temples were beating rapidly, and his breathing rate became extremely rapid, but his eyes refused to blink, staring at the countdown.
"30...20...10..."
"5...4...3...2...1"
[The timer is over and the alien force field is lifted. I wish you all the best and an unimpeded road ahead]
The subtitles slowly disappeared and reappeared, but this time it was no longer a countdown, but a property panel.
But before he had time to take a closer look, there was a squirming movement outside, followed by a putrid smell that penetrated the two-story door, and a scream that sounded like a baby crying.
With his hair standing on end and his heart and soul shaking, Lu Ming felt his scalp numb and his whole body moved inward involuntarily.
It wasn't until my back was pressed against the maintenance counter that I finally felt a sense of security.
Obviously, the giant maggots have lifted the blockade, and there is no peace outside the house. The only thing to be thankful for is that he will not be killed at the moment.
After taking a few deep breaths and regaining his composure, Lu Ming focused his attention on the attribute panel in front of him again.
It is very similar to the character panel in the game. The top is my photo, which is consistent with the ID photo. It is very clear. When you click on it, you can see your own full-body mirror image, which is very magical. The bottom is your personal information.
Name: Lu Ming
Sex: Male
No.: 66666
Age: 24
Specialization level: Not detected (click to start scanning the subject)
General functions: [Collection] [World Channel] [Trading Bank] [Space Luggage]
There is not much information, just a few lines, but it raises a lot of questions.
The most concerning thing is the lack of detection behind the specialization level.
Click to scan the subject?
It was becoming more and more like a game, but the reality was so real that it was hard for him to describe it.
With no time to think about these thankless things, Lu Ming clicked Undetected with the attitude of giving it a try.
It's amazing that there is actually touch feedback, just like clicking on the screen of a mobile phone, it feels real.
[Start checking physical fitness data...]
A beam of blue light emitted from the panel, scanning Lu Ming's face from top to bottom.
[Data detection completed, grade assessment: junior soldier]
Instantly, the undetected after the strength level changed to [Junior Soldier].
It seems that this is the state of Jialan's strength in the last days.
Click for details.
Junior soldier: initially possesses the conditions to become a hunting warrior. His strength is slightly stronger than ordinary people. He can upgrade his level by swallowing specialized crystals. Current progress (0/10)
Specialized crystal: a precious energy body that appears after purifying alien creatures. It contains huge energy. In addition to improving the specialization level, it can also be used as a consumable to replace most energy consumption.
After learning about the level and how to improve it, Lu Ming looked gloomy.
As a result, the survival situation that was not allowed to lie flat directly worsened.
Because the currently known way to become stronger is to confront alien creatures head-on.
