About half an hour later, Huang Shiye and his team hurriedly put on dry clothes and returned to the lobby on the second floor of the Third Canteen.
In order to dry the newly washed clothes as quickly as possible, Liu Jie quickly used his power to light dozens of fires to bake the clothes. Since the boys had too many clothes to bake, the girls came over to help them out of gratitude. clothing.
More than sixty boys and girls gathered around the fire, talking and laughing while holding wet clothes to bake. This harmonious and beautiful scene is as precious as a shooting star in the chaotic and cruel apocalypse.
Xu Xinyuan still remembers that the first dinner was held two days ago. At that time, there were less than 30 survivors. The so-called welcome dinner was more like a dinner with friends. But today, more than one hundred and fifty survivors gathered together. The dinner at this time was not much different from a wedding dinner.
In order to prepare dishes for more than 150 people, uncles and aunts have been busy non-stop. Even Liu Haibo and other boys and girls were assigned to peel potatoes for kitchen work. Xie Fengyi and several other girls were even more busy. It took a whole afternoon to make everyone's little cake.
"Don't mention it, Boss Zhou is quite trustworthy. Not long after the reception banquet was over, he held it again. And this time he brought back more than a hundred new companions. The scale of this reception banquet was much larger than the previous one. ."
Liu Haibo said to Wu Kaiwang next to him while peeling potatoes.
"Otherwise, you think Brother Zhao and I are so convinced of Boss Zhou."
Wu Kaiwang tore into the sausage packaging bag and said proudly:
"Comparing our previous Xiong Hui to our current Boss Zhou, they are not on the same level. Boss Zhou is a great fighter, and he is very stable and confident in doing things. He will definitely do what he says!"
Zhao Jin, who was cutting bacon on the side, also added:
"I don't think these more than a hundred survivors are the end of Boss Zhou. I think one of his goals is to turn the entire campus into a safe stronghold, and then the scope of survivor recruitment may... No, it will definitely be Expanded to the entire Chang City, he may want to be the boss of the entire city!"
"No way!"
A girl who was washing rice couldn't help but exclaimed: "Boss Zhou's ambition... is wrong. Is the ideal so far away? A whole city? Oh my God..."
···
While Zhao Jin and the others were busy discussing, the dishes were gradually prepared and served on the table. After Hu Bin, Yuan Huilin and other new survivors briefly became familiar with the conditions and rules of the stronghold, they also hurriedly set up the dinner venue and passed out the dishes. Everyone was very busy, but everyone wore smiles of happiness and joy.
The dinner started soon. Like last time, Zhou Quan stood at the front of the hall and gave a welcome speech and blessing to Huang Shexue and his party, as well as Hu Bin and Leng Ruohan's party.
However, after giving the welcome speech, Zhou Quan did not leave directly like last time and left the dinner to others. Instead, he stood there and suddenly slowly asked everyone a question.
"Everyone, do you know why I set up such a difficult admission test?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the boys and girls in the audience whispered to each other in low voices. They initially thought that Zhou Quan's so-called "admission test" was just a gimmick and scam to abduct girls as tools for sexual release, and that the boys were going to kill two zombies alone. Only in order to enter, and girls can pass the test as long as they explain their own value and ability. Such unfair test content and passing standards naturally give great doubts and resistance to those survivors who are in contact for the first time, but as they pass the test, they will truly enter. It was discovered after the stronghold that the girls in the stronghold not only did not become tools for sexual release, but were granted protection and personal rights from the stronghold. Men could not forcibly violate and molest women. This made the new survivors rethink whether the comprehensive admission test was really The only purpose is to recruit capable and valuable talents to develop the base and eliminate those cowardly and lazy wastes.
Some people who are good at thinking and observation, such as Luo Zhiyong, Zhao Jin, Wang Ziyue, etc., think even deeper. They all believe that in addition to screening valuable talents, a comprehensive admission test is more about honing the skills of new survivors. Heart and will, help them overcome their inner fears and uneasiness about the apocalypse and zombies, eliminate the false illusions of the past peaceful days, and face the cruel apocalypse again.
But the answer given by Zhou Quan was far beyond the imagination and expectations of everyone present.
"You may think that I set up such dangerous test tasks for boys just to help them overcome their inner fear of zombies and be able to bravely fight or even kill zombies. But in fact, my purpose is much more than that. Some of you may still have The fantasy that the wave of zombie infections will eventually end is just like the Black Death that ravaged Europe for many years in the Middle Ages. As long as enough people die and the chain of infection is interrupted, the zombies and viruses will eventually die out, and human civilization will come back. But the reality is Yes, this wave of zombies is just the beginning of the end of the world. Not only will it not end, but it will intensify, and even replace humans and become a new species on the earth!"
"Do you think the only enemies you are afraid of are zombies? You are wrong! In twelve days! The intensity of energy radiation will increase. In addition to the deepening mutation of zombies, all living things on the earth will undergo earth-shaking mutations! And this mutation is biased toward chaos. Evil, usually cute cats and dogs will turn into bloodthirsty carnivorous beasts and bite your throat out in an instant! Ants and cockroaches that can usually be crushed to death with one kick will mutate into terrifying killing insects that tear open your skin and burrow into you. body, building a nest in your internal organs! By that time, if you are still just wretches hiding in a dark and small room suffering from hunger and despair, how long do you think you can survive in that environment? That fragile How long can the gate block you? If you can't defeat zombies with the same physical strength as humans now, how can you use your body to resist mutated monsters that are far more powerful than humans?"
Everyone was silent. If what Zhou Quan said about the future was true, then let alone their previous physical fitness, even if they could kill zombies head-on now, they were completely unable to compete with the mutated animals Zhou Quan mentioned. With the kitchen knives and wooden sticks in their hands, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on for one round. If the future Zhou Quan said was false... Zhou Quan couldn't lie to them on this matter, and he couldn't even surpass humans. People with superpowers have appeared, and mutant creatures will definitely appear in the future. It's just a matter of time.
Zhou Quan anticipated everyone's reaction and continued:
"You are secretly guessing how long you will survive when facing mutated creatures, right? I can tell you that even if you have knives and weapons to defend yourself, you will never survive for 10 seconds! Ordinary people will be like ants in the future, being manipulated by other monsters. The bottom creatures who are slaughtered and slaughtered have no resistance and no hope!"
"but--"
Facing the solemn and worried atmosphere and the faces of everyone who began to show despair, Zhou Quan changed his voice and shouted impassionedly:
"I can change your destiny! I can improve the strength of each of you here! I can make you all become powerful people like me! I can give you the right to come and go freely even when monsters are rampant! You want to know why I want boys to kill two zombies alone to pass? Why do girls have to have special skills and values to pass? It’s because in the near future, you will also be radiated by energy and become supernormal. The sooner people change their mentality and cognitive concepts, the sooner they become superpowers! The sooner people kill zombies, the greater the probability of mutating into superpowers! God is unfair, every change It will take away countless lives, but God is also fair. It will give more abilities and gifts to the lives that adapt to the changes in advance! All the boys who have killed zombies, don’t you feel it? Every time you finish killing Zombies, after bathing in blood, will your body become more excited and lighter? Do you think it is just a psychological effect? Wrong! That is your body evolving! In order to better adapt to the killing and bloody battle Make corresponding evolutions and mutations in the end of the world! You will evolve into superpowers faster than other people who can only hide in their rooms and tremble! And the evolved superpowers will also be more powerful! Some people may be able to do it in just a week. To evolve into superpowers, some people may take a year to awaken as superpowers, but more people may be just weak ordinary people until the moment they die!"
Zhou fully released powerful energy momentum and murderous intent as terrifying as a sea of blood, and his deep and powerful voice echoed in everyone's ears:
"Then, tell me, do you imagine a wild dog that can die at any time and live in this world, or do you imagine a tiger that commands all the beasts on the mountain to live proudly..."
Everyone in the audience, whether they were boys or girls, could not help but breathe heavily. Their eyes full of expectation, determination, and even greed were staring at Zhou Quan like laser rays. The answer was self-evident.
"very good!"
Zhou Quan nodded lightly and looked at everything with satisfaction. He opened his hands and said:
"As long as you obey my orders, follow my requirements, and implement my will! I can guarantee that all of you will become powerful superpowers! I swear on my full honor!"
Suddenly, streaks of white power of faith floated out from more than one hundred and fifty survivors, all pouring into Zhou Quan's mind. All the survivors present became Zhou Quan's believers at this moment, and there were even fifty Fanatic believer!
Zhou Quan raised the beer can to everyone, and everyone quickly raised their cups upon seeing this.
"Everyone, I have given our survivor organization a name - 'Fluorescence', hoping that it can bloom the most peculiar and beautiful light alone in the dark night. So, my fellow friends of Fluorescence, I wish you all have an ideal. and a bright future!”
"cheers!!!"
