"I...am not dead...?"
On a hospital bed in a medical room, Yaming slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the tingles coming from his body, he couldn't help but have deep doubts in his heart.
It was obvious that he had been so seriously injured before, but why couldn't he feel it at all now?
He slowly sat up, opened the clothes on his chest, and checked the injured area.
"How can this be……"
I saw that there, where a bloody hole had been shot by the monster's energy attack, it was now completely healed.
If it weren't for the scar still there, he would have even doubted whether he was dreaming just now.
"Could it be that...it was those aliens who saved me...?"
Yaming was not stupid, he was just confused for a moment, and then found the answer.
Based on the injuries that penetrated his chest at that time, unless he teleported immediately to the operating table of the Advanced Medical Center in the Federal Center District, he would definitely be dead.
However, considering the alien identity of the other party, Yaming felt relieved again.
Since it is an advanced civilization that can connect to endless galaxies, it is really easy to treat the mere injuries of an ordinary person like him.
While he was thinking, a slender figure opened the door and walked in.
"Ah! Yaming, you wake up!"
The visitor let out a cry of surprise.
"Lily?"
Yaming was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he quickly jumped out of bed as if he was relieved.
"You...I saw you being captured by that monster...I thought...it's really great that you're okay!"
His expression was a little shy, and he seemed to have already fallen in love with this girl, otherwise he would not have rushed out to save her without risking his own life.
The girl lowered her head shyly and whispered:
"I'm fine. Lord Ji Xing rescued me, and they also healed your injuries..."
"Lord Polestar...?"
Ya Ming is obviously still unfamiliar with this name.
Immediately, Lily told him Zhang Xiaoman's identity before, and also recounted everything that had happened before in an emotional way. Ya Ming was stunned when he heard it.
"By the way, I have another good news for you!"
The girl suddenly said mysteriously.
"good news?"
"Yes, I heard that the Covenant is preparing to recruit new recruits. There are five in total. I heard that you only need to complete the test of hunting aberrations to successfully get a spot."
Her words immediately stunned Ya Ming, and he suddenly came to his senses after a moment.
"Are you telling the truth? They plan to accept five places this time!?"
Seeing his excited expression, Lily burst out laughing and said:
"Yes, everyone is discussing this topic, and many people want to get a spot!"
Yaming couldn't stand any longer and kept walking around the room.
He also knew about the Awakeners of the Star Alliance. Among other things, Nari was the simplest example.
After joining the Star Alliance, you awaken the power called dark energy, and then you can become as powerful as those unattainable genetic warriors in the past.
No, compared to the genetic warriors, the awakened ones are obviously more powerful. This can be seen from the strength displayed by the two aliens.
As a man, who doesn’t have some superhero dreams?
Yaming imagined that he could go to heaven and earth and tear apart monsters with his hands, and his heart became hot unconsciously.
"Quick! Let's go see what that test is! I must seize this opportunity!"
…
In the innermost office building, it is as bright as day. The lighting spell suspended on the ceiling lights up the surroundings, which seems to make people temporarily forget the pain of the scarlet doomsday.
This small ball of light was released by Nari.
As Yang Yangyang's assistant and a person from the Ancient Leng Star who has survived in this doomsday environment for more than three months, the first formula she learned was the lighting spell.
Beside, Zhang Xiaoman was flipping through a booklet in his hand.
Written here is basic information about the survivors in the camp, as well as some material reserves.
The writing was in Chinese, and only three people present could understand it.
"Food and weapons are quite sufficient, and there should be no need to replenish them in a short period of time. However, the local compressed food is a bit scarce, which is not conducive to our subsequent transactions..."
Zhang Xiaoman pointed at a certain location on the booklet and said to Su Ya:
"Suya, later you go sort out all the compressed food, find a few people, and let's go to the black market in the 'Anonymous Zone'."
"I see."
The girl nodded emphatically, turned around and went out.
She is the only native on Gu Leng Planet who can understand Chinese so far. This booklet recording the instructions in the base was written by her.
This is not surprising. After all, Su Ya is an orthodox genetic warrior. Her main transformation direction is manipulation, and her learning ability is naturally not a problem.
These daily camp management tasks were temporarily handed over to her before suitable talents were found.
On the side, Yang Yangyang handed over a list of people who were the most likely to pass the assessment.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the content above and found that he didn't recognize most of them. They should be survivors who had recently joined the camp.
This time, there are a total of five people, and the assessment content is to hunt aberrations.
Of course, weapons will definitely be provided to them, otherwise, ordinary people like them would not be able to defeat the ferocious monsters.
In fact, there should be six talent pairs this time, but one of them has been assigned to Su Ya.
As a genetic warrior, Suya established a survivor camp in the apocalypse and saved dozens of lives. From every aspect, this was very much in line with the Star Alliance's recruitment standards.
"Yes, I'll leave these to you. I won't stay here for too long. After I get the Corona suit, I will go back. If you encounter anything, just return to the organization. You can also find me or Su Changqing."
Zhang Xiaoman handed the list back to him, and the affairs here were temporarily left to him, the resident, to fully manage.
After Yang Yangyang took the paper, a wry smile appeared on his face and he joked:
"Aha, I thought I could practice well here for a while, but I didn't expect to end up doing my old job."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said:
"Okay, you are the best at this in our organization now. After you finish this time, I will officially appoint you as the minister of the Light Blue Department when you go back. Don't let me down again in the future."
"Thank you, boss!"
Yang Yangyang said happily.
"By the way, regarding this recruitment, have you forgotten what I told you last time?"
"Don't worry, boss, I remember everything. This place is different from ours. There are not so many restrictions on recruiting new members. As long as there are no problems with the basic principles, the main focus is on combat effectiveness."
"That's good."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded.
"Let's go and see what the Corona suit you mentioned looks like."
The two of them had already walked out of the house while they were talking, and seven or eight survivors were ready outside.
They were all selected by Su Ya, and they are considered to have the best physical fitness among this group of personnel. They are all young and strong, and are usually responsible for the security of the base.
But now, Zhang Xiaoman has assigned ten Star Knights to stay here, and they will be responsible for the security of the Ancient Ling Star Base in the future.
At this moment, when all the young people saw this powerful being appearing in front of them and others at close range, they all looked very nervous and embarrassed.
Zhang Xiaoman came to the crowd and looked at them quietly. If nothing else happened, the first batch of awakened people should be among them.
Somewhat surprisingly, he actually saw the injured man in the crowd.
He didn't know what this man's name was, but although he was a little confused, he was still brave enough, and it still left a little impression on him.
"Lao Yang, you go with them. I will arrange two actions to follow you. If there is an emergency, let me know through actions."
Zhang Xiaoman confessed to Yang Yangyang in a low voice, then jumped into the air and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
Naturally, he couldn't accompany these guys to run down slowly. That would be too cheap. As a star master, he had to maintain a sense of mystery.
When everyone saw him leaving, they felt relieved for some reason.
There is no way, the psychological pressure of staying with this person is too great.
Zhang Xiaoman took the first step and flew directly to the bottom of the building through sword control, which was the "lightless zone" in the words of Na Rui and Su Ya.
The aphotic zone is located underneath the entire city. It is so named because most of the light is blocked by buildings hundreds of meters high.
It can be said that the aphotic areas of the entire city are connected together.
Here, there are large and small black markets, mercenary organizations, private medical clinics, romantic places and other places. All the filth and chaos are gathered together. It is an area that ordinary people will never want to set foot in.
Zhang Xiaoman's target is the black market here.
Normally, if you want to enter the lightless area, you need to pass through the warehouse area on the lowest floor of the building. Going down, you can see an iron door inlaid with golden flowers.
After opening the iron door, you need to pass through a processing factory. Finally, you can see the same iron door again at the end of the pipe. After passing it, you will reach the dark zone.
Of course, there is an easier way.
That is to jump directly from these buildings, ensuring that you can reach your destination within tens of seconds.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally chose the fastest and easiest method.
When his figure fell from the sky and appeared in this lightless area, there was a series of "bang bang bang" sounds of closing doors all around.
He looked around inexplicably. Although it was darker here than the upper level, it didn't matter to him.
The transformation of the sun essence gave him the ability of simple night vision, and he could still barely see the surrounding scene clearly.
It has to be said that the environment here is worse than he imagined. Zhang Xiaoman can see that not far from his feet, there is a small river full of sewage, and the rotten smell is constantly wafting out of it.
Various pipes can be seen in all directions, both for ventilation and water.
It seems that this entire aphotic zone is built on such pipes.
"Da da da da da~"
A series of footsteps came over, accompanied by several bright lights of fire.
Zhang Xiaoman looked up and saw a group of people running over in the distance holding homemade torches. As soon as they approached, they surrounded him with wary expressions.
He raised his eyebrows, wondering what the fuss was about these guys. Could it be that this was the way to say hello in the Aphotic Zone?
Just when he was about to see what tricks these people were planning to pull out, he saw them suddenly stop what they were doing, and then, as if they breathed a sigh of relief, they put down the weapons that were originally aimed at him. .
"What? It turned out to be a human being. It scared me."
"Yeah, I thought another monster fell from the sky, but it turned out to be just an ordinary human being. That's good, that's good..."
"No, if he wasn't a monster, why didn't he die after falling from such a high place?"
"Hey! You don't care why he is! Anyway, he is not a monster. As long as he can't eat you!"
"I guess I fell from the first or second floor, so I didn't fall to my death. Haha, this kid is lucky!"
"Let's go, let's break up..."
"..."
A group of people came in a hurry, and left neatly, and soon disappeared.
Zhang Xiaoman stood there speechless. He also heard the reason for the matter from the conversation between these people just now, and got a rough idea of the future.
It turned out that the reason why people around him closed their doors immediately was because they heard the sound of heavy objects falling from high altitude.
For people living in the aphotic zone, the impact here is the least affected by the disaster of scarlet light.
After all, it can't even get a light on weekdays, let alone be polluted and turn into a monster.
Therefore, compared to the civilian areas with good lighting upstairs, the probability of people here becoming aberrations is actually lower.
But less light does not mean it is necessarily safe. Occasionally, aberrant monsters will fall from the sky into this area due to various accidents.
Coupled with the strong vitality of the aberrant monsters, many of them will not be fatal after falling, and they have begun to move around this area.
The aphotic zone is inherently dark, and the aberrations are good at stealth and sneak attacks.
Their combat capabilities are brought into full play here, and humans will suffer heavy losses once they encounter these guys.
Over time, everyone developed a tacit understanding.
Whenever a monster suddenly appears from the sky, no matter what, everyone nearby must work together to kill it to avoid causing more serious harm.
