Chapter 57 The Scarlet Age
Meng Chao benefited a lot from Demon Yan's generous teachings. The most direct effect is that more and more gray skills can be lit up.
Looking at the dense list of skills, Meng Chao was very excited and eager to race against time to contribute more to the people of Dragon City.
Another thing, maybe it was because he was too bright in handling Zuo Haoran's problem, or maybe it was because Yan Motou and the school's senior officials were boasting about his recent performance. During this period, Meng Chao often "encountered" Principal Sun in the cafeteria.
Meng Chao wanted to show off his skills in front of Principal Sun, thinking that this famous "heavy artillery" must start as an elite citizen, or maybe a "legendary citizen, epic citizen" or something like that.
If Principal Sun understands some mysterious and profound martial arts principles under his guidance, how much contribution value can this thing reap?
It's a pity that the wizened little old man is too old, and the injuries he suffered back then were too serious. He hasn't taken action for many years. He comes to the Ninth Middle School to provide for his old age, and he doesn't pay much attention to the children's studies. He only spends the whole day sunbathing in a corner of the playground and taking a nap.
Next, I went to the cafeteria and studied the nutritious lunch recipes with the master chefs with great interest.
Principal Sun is approachable and approachable. He carries the same stainless steel plate as the students. What he eats is not as good as the college entrance examination students, but only lunch meat made from earthworm meat.
This made Meng Chao very embarrassed and wanted to share some of the pure natural monster flesh and blood on his plate with the old principal.
"You go ahead and eat more. I'm not going to take the college entrance examination. Besides, monster meat is so rich in spiritual energy that you'll get high blood pressure if you eat it." Principal Sun was smiling, but he was missing several teeth, and his words were a bit leaky.
.
Meng Chao thought for a while, and the old principal probably wasn't interested in other moves, so he simply waved his chopsticks and used "Seven Explanations of Anti-Guan" to break down the ribs on the dinner plate.
Sure enough, the old principal was interested. Although he did not concentrate on his studies, he took Meng Chao to the kitchen in the cafeteria and competed with the master chefs. The advantage was that from that day on, Meng Chao could eat what the master chefs had reserved for him.
The freshest and most juicy monster flesh.
Just like that, when the day came for the second level of his undergraduate degree, Meng Chao's ultimate boxing power broke 290 kilograms, and he ran 100 meters in 9.29 seconds, far behind the sprint myth Bolt.
There is also an even more terrifying ability that is not reflected in the data, which is the endurance of the master-level "Ripple Power".
Many outstanding high school students can reach their ultimate boxing power of 280 or 290, and even hit incredible numbers like 300 kilograms.
In the 100-meter dash, there is no such thing as a 9.2-second monster in high school.
But Meng Chao can punch more than 200 punches in one breath in three minutes, and his average punching power will not be less than 275 kilograms.
And his average speed of 100 meters, 400 meters, 1,500 meters, or even 5,000 meters is almost the same.
This is terrifying.
In actual combat, such long-lasting and stable output is obviously much more powerful than the beautiful data produced by many "high-scoring, low-energy" people cultivated by exam-oriented education, relying on genetic medicines, enhanced nutrient solutions and training equipment.
"Crack, crackle, crackle!"
At the gate of No. 9 Middle School, Principal Sun lit several 3,000-ring red firecrackers all over the ground.
Three school buses, dressed in red and green, fully loaded with candidates from two rocket classes and one quasi-rocket class, rushed to the district education bureau amidst the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of their classmates.
"Super God, I didn't expect your ultimate punching power to break 290. Do you want to be so exaggerated?" A classmate said with a smile on the school bus.
Ever since Meng Chao once ate the roasted hind legs of two sword-and-halberd demon pigs in the cafeteria in one go, carried another 200 kilograms of weight, and ran for more than 30 laps on the playground, he became famous in one battle and was respectfully called ""
Super God".
"You don't understand Chaoshen very well." Another old classmate from Class 6, "Wu Xueba" said, "Since he has shown an ultimate punching power of 290 kilograms, then his real punching power must have exceeded 300 kilograms long ago.
, just waiting to go to the district to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and become a blockbuster, right, super god?"
"I bear witness."
Before Meng Chao could speak, his best friend Chu Feixiong betrayed him mercilessly, "My ultimate boxing power is now 299. Is it stronger than Meng Chao? But recently, when I sparred with him, I felt like I was being run over by a road roller every time.
If you crush him, his ultimate punching power must have exceeded 300, 290? He's just showing off here!"
"300 kilograms?" The students exclaimed, "Shameless! Scum! Scum! You must treat me to milk tea! Please treat me to breakfast! Please treat me to lunch, dinner and midnight snacks!"
Meng Chao coughed loudly. Why is it so difficult to keep a low profile these days?
Everyone was laughing and joking, and the voice of Demon Yan sounded in front of them.
"That's enough. Let's all be quiet and adjust our emotions and minds."
Demon Head Yan held the loudspeaker on the car and said seriously, "Speed, strength, physical fitness, and combat skills are all important, but if you want to embark on the extraordinary road, the most important thing is the soul!
"Without an extraordinary mind, even if you are lucky enough to gain power, you will not be able to conquer it. Instead, you will become a slave to power, constantly degenerating and losing control. In a literal sense, you will turn into a terrifying monster like a zombie or a monster.
"Speed and strength have been tested in the first round. Those gathered at the District Education Bureau today are all the leaders of the 'Hulin District'. What we want to test is your soul!
"Remember, the flower of the soul blooms from the flesh and blood, but it transcends the flesh and blood. It is the sublimation of the spirit. It does not mean that you have a strong mind if you are powerful and fast. You will never know until the moment of life and death.
, am I a coward with no brute strength, a bully villain, a selfish rat, or - the absolute master of my own power!"
After a few words, the students all became quiet.
"I understand, let's get out of the car." Yan Motou said, "The district education bureau is here."
The school bus stopped in front of a sunken square among tall buildings.
Surrounded by cold dark tones, mainly black and bronze, plus piles of ruined walls with exposed steel bars, it looks like a ruins or a cemetery.
In fact, this is indeed the ruined battlefield that was repeatedly ravaged by zombies, thugs, and monsters when Dragon City traveled through it.
As Dragon City grew stronger and stronger, other ruins were cleared and rebuilt into a taller, stronger, and larger steel fortress.
Only this place remains as it is, and architects and artists were specially invited to solidify and process it, turning it into an eternal memory to commemorate those black years.
Walking down the black marble steps into the Sunken Square, the candidates of No. 9 Middle School felt that the temperature suddenly dropped by seven to eight degrees.
Even Meng Chao shuddered.
All that comes into view, apart from the fragmented and collapsed debris, are statues one after another.
The sculptor used extremely exaggerated techniques to create crazy zombies, ferocious monsters, and thugs who became uglier than the zombies and monsters in order to snatch food, water, energy and other resources.
In the face of these threats, the statues of ordinary citizens appear particularly weak and helpless.
Meng Chao saw a statue, a monster that looked like a cross between a mantis and a jackal. It grinned and raised its sickle-like blade, aiming at a mother holding a baby in her arms.
The mother hugged the child so tightly that she wanted to rub it back into her belly.
But no matter how strong her arms are, it will be difficult to avoid the tragedy that follows.
The sculptor injected soul into this group of statues. When the cold wind blows, it seems that you can hear the whimpering of people and the neighing of monsters.
In this era, the Education Bureau had great power. In addition to educating young people, it was also responsible for the ideological work of all citizens.
Only by keeping history in mind can we open up the future. The District Education Bureau and the district's "Travel Memorial Hall" are connected together.
From kindergarten to high school, my classmates have been here many times during spring outings, autumn outings, and during anniversaries.
But today, candidates who aspire to become extraordinary people react particularly strongly to these statues.
Many people breathed heavily, and Chu Feixiong gritted his teeth.
Meng Chao also had ups and downs in his heart and could not calm down for a long time.
Having seen the doomsday coming in his nightmare, he has particularly deep feelings for Dragon City.
He was determined not to let any monsters or monsters touch this land filled with the blood of his compatriots.
Fortunately, apart from the rather tragic statue at the beginning, as they went deeper into the ruins, the theme of the statue gradually became brighter.
At first, the unarmed citizens could only be slaughtered by zombies, monsters and thugs.
Gradually, weapons appeared in the hands of citizens, which could pull out the teeth of zombies, chop off the claws of monsters, and let the thugs accept a fair verdict.
In the end, those powerful citizens who opened their arms to protect the children had gorgeous spiritual patterns appearing on their skin and were surrounded by golden light. Some of them even controlled flaming swords and drove domesticated biochemical war beasts.
, trample zombies, monsters and thugs under your feet.
"This is the extraordinary one." Chu Feixiong looked at the statue and said to Meng Chao.
"It won't take long, we can do it too," Meng Chao replied, taking the lead out of the ruins.
At the end of the ruins, there are two huge monuments, with names densely engraved on them in small golden letters.
The one on the right contains the names of all the citizens who died in this area in the past fifty years. There are five characters on it: "May the deceased rest in peace."
On the one on the left are the names of all the warriors and heroes who died heroically in this area. There are also five big characters on it: "I wish the brave men immortality."
Two monuments form a gate, and behind it is a huge entrance that leads directly to the ground.
Meng Chao and his classmates walked down the stairs along the 20-meter-wide black passage and soon entered another world.
Surrounded by a 360-degree three-dimensional large screen, the smoke, strong smell of blood and various sound and light effects are used to create an atmosphere that is both illusory and real.
The panicked screams of the citizens, the ferocious roars of the thugs, and the twisted and terrifying roars of the zombies instantly made Meng Chao and his classmates understand that they had arrived at the first floor of the Time Travel Memorial Hall, the "Age of Blood."
"The first decade when Dragon City just traveled to another world was a bloody era of confusion, chaos and misery."
A rich bass floated slowly from above their heads, "We have lost most of our energy and industrial capabilities, destroyed social order and state machinery, dimmed the light of humanity and the majesty of the law. In order to survive, countless well-dressed civilizations
Humans have turned into thugs who prey on the weak, or even beasts that drink blood from their hair.
"There is also a mysterious virus that spreads among citizens, and soon escalates into a plague that sweeps the entire city. The infected people turn into zombies that have lost their minds, but have ten times greater appetite and aggression.
