Chapter 011 Life, Death
The first year of the alliance, May 25
Outside Lobito
Zheng Qi's face was gloomy. He looked around and looked at everyone who appeared in front of him... One hundred, one hundred people standing in full. The fastest and most stable updates were made. Dukank and others were wearing black uniforms with equal solemn expressions. The joy of the past has disappeared from the group of people. They persevered and survived, becoming the first batch of transformed humans.
But the price was too high. Thirty brothers of the other fifty brothers fell down completely and never saw them stand up again. Only half of them could continue the surgery of the cyborg, and half... Most of them were atrophy of muscles throughout their bodies, deformed bones, and even breathing became a big problem. They were always lying on the bed, and some even could only use nutrient solution to maintain their lives. Their eyes were dead and they no longer had their former expressions.
Thinking of this, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, his throat seemed to be strangled, and his breathing became a little difficult. Nearly 40% risk, 20% mortality rate. For this group of special soldiers, especially the soldiers he trained, he could not accept and bear this ending at all!
Thinking of this, he asked, "Ianti, what will they do in the future?"
"The alliance will take care of them," said Ianti. "They used to be the most agile and strongest fighters... but they cannot take this step, which is also destined, but we will take care of everything they have, because they are the heroes of the Tigers, and they dare to do things that others dare not do!"
A bitter feeling appeared in his heart. Then he raised his head and closed his eyes.
...
"Now, we will return the sacrificed brothers to the dust!"
Zheng Qi shouted, wearing a black suit, his face tensed. In front of him, the soldiers took shovels and slowly placed black urns wrapped in the national flag into the soil, and then let the yellow soil bury the black jars, burying everything they had struggled.
"Remember!" Zheng Qi shouted, "Honor and courage will always give them! Even death cannot deprive these qualities from them!"
"salute!"
The ceremony was held, with the national flag lowering and the gun fire ceremony was carried out. A total of thirty guns were fired thirty times. Although there was a group of people in black suits around, they were silent. After the gunshots were heard, they still watched silently, no one spoke or moved.
Zheng Qi looked at it until the land in front of him was filled with white flowers covering the flat land, and he put down his salute hand.
"All disband!"
Everyone looked like stone sculptures. They looked at everything in front of them, but still had no movement.
Zheng Qi looked at them, at least he hadn't lost everything yet! The boss, handsome guy, thin monkey, black bear, eagle... they all survived. Especially the handsome guy, he changed his hair to a very short one. Zheng Qi still remembered that his original hair was relatively long, and he once criticized that if this continued, it would be no different from a street gangster.
He Ximei only woke up later. She woke up much later than the rest of the world. After waking up, she didn't say anything. Although twenty days have passed, her face is still a little pale. The nightingale next to her followed her and gently grabbed her palm with one hand.
Zheng Qi walked over, grabbed her other hand, and the three of them walked forward without any sound.
...
Tigers Comprehensive Training Room.
Zheng Qi walked into the venue wearing a loose training uniform. It was still early and no other soldiers arrived. But he was still used to coming to train early and adapting to his... new body.
The training room has very complete equipment. It is usually a training area dedicated to the special forces of the Tiger Regiment. There is a boxing ring, a fighter, and a variable gravity training room next to it. The outside area can obtain about one quarter of the gravity of one g or one g. Inside, there are two gravitys of different sizes of g. These are very challenging and difficult for ordinary people.
Zheng Qi walked to the artificial gravity area, glanced at the door, and then walked in.
As soon as his front foot stepped in, his body suddenly felt the pressure and his breathing became heavier. This is a standard gravity acceleration environment that is twice as fast as possible.
He made preparations and moved his hands and feet. Then he walked to the squat barbell and selected a few more weighty iron pieces. He grabbed the barbell, squatted down and stood up, and went three or four times in a row - it seemed that the weight was insufficient. He took a look and found that it was now 300 kilograms, which was definitely a terrible thing if he did this. What's more, it's not in a room with standard gravity now?
He added some barbell pieces again, this time it was 400 kilograms - it came a few times in a row, but still didn't feel much weight-he walked out and jumped a few times in the spot - it felt normal, this should be the feeling that it should have in a gravity environment - but why did he almost feel too much weight-held?
It was so strange that he even became suspicious.
Then, he tried again until he added the barbell to six hundred kilograms - "Ah!", he shouted, and he made two moves, happy! This feeling was finally right!
But if this is in a normal environment outside, it will be 900 kilograms, which is nearly one ton. He has felt the limit now, but it also proves that his ability is at least several times stronger than usual. Compared with the world's squat record - more than 500 kilograms, his current record can be scary!
For twenty days, he has been adjusting and resting. He usually absorbs some high-protein foods and physical function checks several times a day. Until today, it is not until today that he has experienced the enhanced body for the first time. Moreover, he feels that his brain's calculation speed is much faster. He throws a barbell piece weighing dozens of kilograms into the air, then rushes over, and waits for a while to catch the barbell piece - this is twice the gravity environment!
He could quickly calculate the final speed of the barbell piece that had just fallen into his hand through the acceleration of gravity here and the time when the object just fell in his mind. It was very fast, but the result was really amazing!
The other special forces soldiers felt the same as him. They vented their comrades' sacrifices into the training room, trying to numb themselves with training. They were all surprised to find that everything here seemed to have changed. Things that were originally difficult have become easy now. It was not until later that people crowded the multi-gravity training room that they found a familiar feeling.
Zheng Qi walked out, and the training inside was no longer suitable for him.
Ianti and Artemis stood side by side, while Glass, holding a bunch of data, knew they were waiting for him, so he walked over quickly.
"Your Majesty." Artemis and Glas nodded at the same time and put down what was in their hands.
Zheng Qi nodded slightly, looked at Yianti, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Ianti didn't say anything, but Grass was the first to say, "I mean, will you feel uncomfortable after strenuous exercise?"
"No." Zheng Qi shook his head, "It feels very comfortable, and it feels that all the objects in the world have become much lighter."
Glas nodded to the other two, and then said to Zheng Qi: "Your Majesty, you guys talk, I'll go and do my business first."
He walked to the training room, and it seemed that he was going to count other people's data.
"You performed well!" said Ianti.
"Is there only a few words to praise me?" Zheng Qi said, but he couldn't laugh now. He knew that the two of them would never be just praising him. They were very busy - busy with energy, scientific research, and the warships that were about to be developed. They had to pay attention to every detail.
Ianti smiled slightly, and Artemis said, "Your Majesty, we are preparing to measure your physical data and design new armor. The original old ones may no longer apply to you - except for protection, your physical fitness is beyond the ones given by the first generation of armor."
