Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 45: on the arena

Views:

Alan and Lucy got a rare time to rest. After the wolves receded, they fell asleep in the hours between three o'clock in the afternoon. When he woke up, Alan saw Lucy was pillowing on his lap. The girl slept peacefully, curled up like a lion cub. This is really an apt adjective for Lucy, especially when it comes to her usual fangs and claws.

A few rays of sunlight fell gently on her body, and quietly climbed onto her face as time went by. She frowned slightly, rubbed her small face vigorously, moved to a place where the light could not shine, and continued to dream. I don't know what I dreamed of, and occasionally there will be a smile on my face, but the smile disappears in a flash, and soon returns to calm.

This was a rare quiet moment, and Allen moved his arms to check his body. The trauma had already stopped bleeding, the smaller wounds were covered with a layer of blood scabs, and the larger ones were unable to move vigorously. They made Lucy sew tight, but if there was too much movement, they would open the wound a second time. Fortunately, these injuries fall on less important parts, so the impact is relatively small, which is one of the benefits of selective injuries.

In terms of physical fitness, 60% to 70% has recovered, and even the original strength has recovered a lot. To Allen's surprise, the source force vortex quietly added one, and now it has reached eight!

When instructing Allen, Hughton once popularized some simple understandings of the source force system for him. Before the genetic circuit is formed, the human body is like a sponge, and the speed of generating the source force vortex will be relatively faster. And for a talented person like Allen, his speed can only be described as leaps and bounds. But once the genetic circuit is formed, the growth rate of the source power will slow down.

That's because the source force equivalent required for the first gene circuit has basically reached the upper limit of the human body's capacity at this stage. If it grows as fast as before, the source force will explode the body. Therefore, the growth rate of Yuanli will slow down. At this time, the source force tempered will be naturally absorbed by the body and used to strengthen physical fitness, enhance the adaptability of organs, and increase the upper limit of the body's capacity for source force.

So now, Allen is not overly happy, not to mention that the life-and-death battle with the wolves earlier would stimulate the growth of the source power, which is also reasonable. He still needs to add another source force vortex before he can hope to hit the first barrier. In this way, a circuit is constructed and an imprint is formed. Only when you advance to become an engraver can you open the door to power and become the so-called talent of the Federation.

At that time, even in the ranks of the federal army, it was possible to be a second lieutenant. Otherwise, before forming his own engraving, the source of power is at most a first-class soldier, which is only a little more advanced than cannon fodder.

"Ah, are you awake? Why didn't you wake me up?" Lucy turned around and finally woke up. She yawned and said sleepily.

Allen shrugged and said nothing. Lucy asked again: "How is your injury?"

"Better than I expected, thanks to you." Allen pointed to a wound on his body and said, "Your suture skills are very professional."

"Of course, this lady has systematically learned battlefield first aid techniques!" As soon as Lucy recovered her spirits, she put on a complacent expression.

Allen became more and more interested in Lucy's identity. As far as he knew, a child who grew up on the surface rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with

First aid in the field of this kind of knowledge. That is a real subject of warfare, how can ordinary surface teenagers have the opportunity to learn this kind of technology? A girl who has excellent shooting skills and is proficient in strategy and first aid in the field. Such a person's background is definitely not simple.

Shooting skills can be trained, but the other two things can't be learned at will.

Of course, if Lucy didn't tell, Alan wouldn't ask either. Everyone has their own secrets, and Allen is not stupid enough to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

gurgling...

A strange sound sounded from Lucy's stomach, and Alan glanced at her, who blushed and said, "Why, I haven't eaten since last night. I was running and fighting , It's normal to be hungry!"

"I didn't say anything." Allen suppressed a smile, and said, "We have nothing else now, but there are quite a lot of wolf meat, so let's roast a few hind legs to eat."

Thinking of Allen's barbecue skills, Lucy immediately started to slander, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice. Allen stood up against the wall, picked up Kuantu and wanted to tear a few hind legs from the wolf carcass as food. Suddenly, a small sound was caught in his ears, and he looked up. The sunlight from above sprinkled through the gaps in the mountain, leaving mottled shadows on the rock walls on both sides.

In one of the shadows, something burst out of the rock face. It crawled down, and in an instant it left the shadows, exposing its shiny black shell to the sun. It's a scorpion, with its two big claws stretched out and gently moving like a show of might. Behind the flat body, the tail needle is raised high, which is what a scorpion looks like when it is fighting. More and more scorpions came out of the cracks in the stone, which was an unconventional thing.

Scorpions love the shade, and they should hide in a cool place during the day, but they seldom come out of their nests to be active in the sun like they are now. But from last night until now, nothing has been normal. Allen was almost certain that these scorpions, like those wolves, were driven by something to act.

"It seems that we can't finish our dinner," Allen said.

Lucy looked up, her face immediately became ugly. Even when this girl was confronted by violent wolves, her expression remained unchanged, but now when she saw the densely packed scorpions, her expression changed drastically. It seems that girls are so natural, even a single wolf can easily kill hundreds of such scorpions.

"Run, run." Lucy yelled, picked up her things and ran outside. There were still a few corpses of violent wolves stuck in the crevice of the mountain, and it took a lot of effort for the two to get out of it, but luckily the scorpions didn't catch up to them.

As soon as he got out of the cave, Allen felt a chill down his back. Looking back, on a big rock behind him, a violent wolf was basking in the sun. Seeing them coming out, he was looking at the two of them with faint eyes that were like blue flames. The violent wolf stood up, shook his whole body, and then howled with a long neck, and the howling of the wolf immediately echoed in the mountains.

Allen cursed in a low voice, and pulled Lucy up to continue another round of escape.

This time, they ran from afternoon to night. During the period, they rested for a while near a stream and found the body of a teenager. He dug out four or five magazines from his luggage, all of them cheap for Lucy, her bullets were exhausted in the cave battle. Afterwards, the two crossed the river and were driven to a valley by the wolves. After leaving the valley, Lucy saw a large lake in the distance.

The lake glowed like fish scales under the moonlight, and what made people even more concerned was that there was a purple-blue energy shield in the center of the lake, and it was unknown what was protecting it.

At this time, the wolves approached behind him. Although the two knew that without tools, even running to the lake was useless, they had to do so. But when they ran close to the lake, the ground suddenly shook. The lake water churned, causing large splashes. Just in front of the two of Allen, a chain bridge rose from the lake, connecting the shore of the lake with the location of the energy shield in the center.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked in surprise.

"Anyway, it won't be a good thing, but we can't choose now!" Alan yelled, pulling her to run on the chain bridge.

The cable bridge was already wobbly, and the bridge deck was wet just after rising from the lake. Even though the two reacted quickly, they nearly slipped and fell several times while running. As for those violent wolves, their sense of balance was even worse. They rushed up the bridge, either slipped or couldn't maintain their balance and fell into the lake. Once you fall into the lake, you will see a large shadow in the lake, and then the lake boils. The falling violent wolf struggled desperately in the water, but a lot of blood still came out.

Occasionally, one or two dark shadows jumped onto the lake, and under the moonlight, Allen could see clearly. What is that huge fish head and mouth full of sharp teeth, but a bloodthirsty piranha

The iron chain is difficult, and there are piranhas in the lake. But even so, more and more violent wolves ran onto the cable bridge. After Allen broke off, Lucy covered, and the two cooperated with each other, and after fighting and retreating, they finally came to the floating island in the middle of the lake. As soon as he jumped onto the land, Allen gave a loud shout, the lines on the body of Kuang Tu knife lit up, the energy sharp ability was activated, and a buzzing energy blade popped out from the edge of the blade.

He swung Kuang Tu and cut off the iron chains of the bridge in an instant. Then cut across the bridge deck, and immediately cut off the entire cable bridge. With a bang, the cable bridge was thrown into the lake, and hundreds of wolves on the bridge were thrown into the lake at the same time. The lake immediately exploded, and the ferocious piranhas in the water immediately started killing, causing the entire lake to glow with blood!

Allen took a breath at this moment and looked around. The floating island in the lake is empty, only a few coconut trees are planted, and there are not many shrubs. In the center is an energy shield. Looking through the blue-purple shield wall, you can see a square silver metal body inside, and I don't know what it's for. At this moment, the sound of water resounded, but a group of cables floated in several directions on the floating island.

"Isn't that Mike?" Lucy pointed to the south shore of the lake.

Allen looked into the distance, and sure enough, on the other side of the rope bridge, Mike and a teenager ran up the rope bridge. Behind them, there is a group of poisonous tarantulas! Tarantulas were also a third-order dangerous species. They chased the two teenagers and began to climb up the rope bridge. The general scene is also the same on other cable bridges, there are some players in the death ring and all kinds of dangerous species chasing them.

"It seems that this is our last arena." Allen said calmly.

The situation was quite obvious, and the committee used some special means to drive all the scattered teenagers to this place. Next, it is natural for them to kill each other. However, only a week had passed since entering Yellowstone Park, and it seemed that the death ring hadn't come to an end yet, so I didn't know what the committee intended for this arrangement.
