When the Executioner Group returned to the city, they immediately announced that the nightmare threat affecting Zion had been eliminated.
The organization will immediately begin to sort out the entire incident and award rewards to those who contributed to the incident.
At the same time, we will also comprehensively review the entire process of the nightmare invasion, patch the loopholes in Zion’s current security system, and avoid similar incidents from happening again.
Yi Chen and Jin walked together and arrived at the downstairs of the collective apartment building.
It seemed as if he recalled the scene of two children throwing iron balls at each other when the two went upstairs a few days ago. It also corresponded to the abnormal behavior shown by the Zion civilians at the beginning of the nightmare incident.
After going through the entire nightmare event, the thing that differed the most from Yi Chen's initial estimate was 'Catherine's nature'.
Yi Chen originally thought that the other party was an unforgivable villain with extreme evil intentions to exterminate the human race, but after getting in touch with her, he found that Catherine's nature was more inclined towards black and white, that is, chaos.
Such people are equally unforgivable in a civilized society and must be eliminated.
But in the current world view where survival is the first issue, perhaps only a chaotic existence like Catherine is most suitable for survival.
After this incident,
In addition to the increase in his own disease value (1→2) and the overall improvement in his melee skills, Yi Chen also realized a more cruel fact.
Even Catherine, a patient who happened to pass by and got excited on a whim, could turn Zion into a city of soldiers and crises... Once a real crisis comes, I'm afraid this city, known as the last refuge of mankind, will collapse.
The reason why Zion has been able to exist safely for so many years and continuously eliminate the sick people around it is largely due to its support of the leather field.
"Catherine said that the leather field is currently facing a crisis. As a lower-level organization attached to the leather field, we are no longer protected by the original protection and may be invaded by other forces at any time.
I guess the selection of the first gentleman will start soon.
I must strive to become the first gentleman to learn more and more details... As long as I have the yellow skin in my hand, I will definitely be able to achieve "reform", at least to allow more people to survive. 』
"William, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and catch up." Jin was already standing at the entrance of the apartment building, waving.
"Jin~ I just woke up from a nightmare and now I can't fall asleep at all.
And you have been busy chasing and killing, so you probably haven't collected enough imitation meat? There is nothing to do up there now, do you want to go to the academy with me?"
"What are you going to do at the academy?"
"Visit Mr. Zed."
"The... the death row inmate who was pardoned by special exception? Okay, let's go."
Jin still had no idea about Zed's killing spree in the Nightmare Game Room. He had only heard of this strange man who was pardoned and sealed away by the organization because of his great strength.
…
After the nightmare event ended,
Hogeni Zed rejected invitations from Wrinkle Spacey and Kimberly Cabrera, deputy director of the Power Plant Research Institute.
On the pretext that he had used up the time he had been away from home during the week, he returned alone to the academy and went back to his underground office which was like a prison.
Passion
Zed, who had been imprisoned for many years for committing a crime, had not felt the emotions of his youth for a long time.
However, this time, the dream made him regain his passion, and he even felt that his old and pale body had become lively again.
Especially the battle with Mosander of the circus, the collision of flesh against flesh, completely unleashed and without regard for consequences, once again ignited the fire in Zed's heart, and he wanted to go outside again.
When Zed was lying on the sofa, raising his mouth to take a rest, the visitor had already arrived.
Yi Chen pushed the door open as if he was going home and introduced his friends to the teacher.
"This is Jin Almeida, born in Gethsemane, with a cancer-related complex. She just participated in the last nightmare exorcism and followed me here."
Card!
The response given to Yi Chen was the sound of twisting ankle joint.
Zed, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately moved close to him and punched him in the face.
If it were in the past, Yi Chen would definitely not be able to react in time and would have been knocked away by this punch, or even have his head knocked off.
However, Yi Chen, who had just experienced many life-and-death fights in nightmares and had received long-term physical training, automatically reacted when he heard the sound of his ankle.
He instantly judged the 'gap' that existed in this punch, as well as the huge gap in Zed's lower body.
A series of optimal counterattack actions have been generated in the epileptic brain and fed back to various parts of the body, allowing perfect movements to be made in synchronization.
Dive down to dodge and grab him! He even wanted to throw Zed away.
When this series of actions was completed, Yi Chen crossed his hands and tightly hugged Zed's thighs and buttocks. When he felt the cold and soft touch, he realized that this scene seemed familiar.
"Teacher, that punch you just made was intended to induce me to do a 'dive and throw', right?"
Zed's voice came from above: "Then why don't you fall out?"
"I don't want to be hit by a frontal knee strike, that could really kill me... As expected, Teacher, you saw through my identity very early in the dream.
No matter how much I disguise myself, the nature of my body cannot be changed."
Zed also changed his usual casual tone and said seriously:
"Since you can perform so well in dreams, your physical training will be completely reformed in the future. You will have a real hand-to-hand fight with me every once in a while, and I will try my best not to kill you.
Currently, the organization has increased my weekly time out to ten hours.
If I accidentally hurt you badly, I can send you to the hospital immediately."
"Ah, this..."
At this moment, Jin raised his hand and interrupted: "Can I be added? William looks like he has no confidence."
"Jin, don't..."
Just as Yi Chen was about to stop him, Zed politely made a 'come in' gesture and invited Jin to go to the park to conduct practical physical training.
When Jin arrived at 'Zed's Paradise', he was immediately shocked by the 'fitness equipment' in front of him.
"William? Have you been training in a place like this all this time?"
"Haha, yes."
"No wonder your body is so different from others. The physical weapons made from your body are also much stronger than those of individuals of the same level... How interesting! Such perverted places are rarely seen in Gethsemane.
So how do we conduct actual combat?"
Zed responded, "As long as you try not to damage the equipment and the venue, you can do whatever you want... I used to just be a sparring partner. Now that you have all made breakthroughs, I can show my true strength and have fun."
Yi Chen could tell from the teacher's words and expression that Zed had become a little different after the nightmare incident.
The previous gloomy feeling has mostly disappeared, as if I have started to love life again.
After seeing the changes in his teacher, Yi Chen was quite relieved. He temporarily stopped worrying about whether he might be disabled and prepared to accompany his teacher for entertainment and relaxation.
Jin seemed a little impatient, and his pink tongue slightly stuck out from under the mask.
As Zed gave the order to start the sparring, the two of them rushed forward immediately.
Five minutes passed.
Zed sat on the armrest of the treadmill, took out a homemade tobacco and lit it in his mouth, while slightly adjusting the blindfold with one hand.
Where he was facing, Yi Chen and Jin were hanging on the equipment like two puddles of mud. They lost consciousness for a short period of time and were unable to move again.
With the support of cancer cells, Jin woke up early, and then took out the gravy injection and gave himself and William an injection respectively.
"Hey! William, wake up!"
"Wow... Don't wake me up~ Wouldn't it be better to just faint like this?" Yi Chen was a little puzzled. He had just been beaten out of his dream, and now he was being beaten again.
"Let's ask Reagan to come over... maybe the three of us can do it."
"Go ahead and yell, if he's willing to come." Yi Chen didn't care about anything now. As long as he could get beaten less, it didn't matter.
Kim called and told Reagan that there was a free dinner tonight, and Reagan, pregnant with a big belly, came to the door within ten minutes.
