Lu Ping'an really didn't understand this time.
He didn't even feel the presence of pollution, not even as good as the last Keeper exam.
Because in terms of "quantity", it has indeed decreased.
After all, the improvement this time is quality. If the "quantity" is the same as last time, others will probably not have to live.
Just look at Ping An's current pollution resistance... His defensive walls are at the "quasi-divine kingdom" level!
As long as he is not stupid enough to take the initiative to spy on the true god, nothing will happen... Just like when he advanced last time, he spied on the incarnation of "The Immortal in the Pavilion" and actively tried to connect to it.
For him, this rule-level "aftermath" after being "reduced" cannot break through his "firewall" at all, and he can treat it as if it does not exist.
"Ha, why can't it work?"
When Lu Pingping turned around, he noticed that the situation was quite bad.
Unlike the previous one where there were a hundred people at a time, this time the room was larger, but there were only twenty people.
And this was just the beginning, eleven people were dragged away, and the remaining eight people were all in terrible condition.
Some were gritting their teeth and rolling on the ground, and some were holding on by holding on to the mutated areas... It can be seen from here that this is different from the last "clearance standard".
Last time, it was necessary to pass the "resistance" test in full condition. If there was a slight variation, you would be kicked out directly. The test was the lower limit.
But this time, as long as there is no tendency of irreversible mutation, as long as the rationality is still there and the line is slightly crossed, I will grit my teeth and endure it.
Among the eight people, the two who were in the best condition had time to see Lu Ping'an...and then showed shocked expressions as if they had seen a ghost, thinking that they had fallen into a hallucination.
This test was very short. When the red light ended and the pressure dropped sharply, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Pingan scratched his head. He was too embarrassed to say "that's it" because after the news spread, several people in his small circle were panicked... But in the end, Guan Xinxian and Xia Qin didn't give up.
Lu Ping'an just followed the team out, then received a "commemorative medal", pasted it on his handbook, and left like that.
On the way, the "candidates" who were surrounded by medical staff gave him the deepest impression in this exam.
What's even more impressive is that an unlucky guy who has mutated into a half-human, half-lizard monster is being locked up and about to be... It seems that the previous "Death Responsibility Letter" is still there. It's really not just a threat.
"......Pity."
At this time, he suddenly stopped, and a bold idea flashed through his head.
As a professional, the occasional flash of inspiration is a kind of wealth.
".......Step aside!"
Try it without spending any money.
"Don't go there, he has lost his mind and is hopeless... Hey!
"
The moment Lu Ping'an passed by, he patted him gently, but the other party's mutation suddenly stopped!
The mutated organs and parts still exist, but his tendency to slide into the abyss has stopped!
"Deferred payment of life...is this okay?!" Lu Ping'an was probably no less surprised than the onlookers who looked incomprehensible.
"...Theoretically, it seems to work. Mutation is a kind of evolution in a sense. It is the directional and non-directional mutation of life under the erosion, influence and interference of external objects. It is also the evolution of life. It is also the price of life. It can be divided into installments, which makes sense in theory..." Big Cat suddenly gave a plausible answer, which was very logically consistent.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lu Ping'an was a little confused. This ability is quite important.
"..." Silence probably doesn't need any explanation, of course it's...
"It turns out it was an afterthought."
For ordinary professionals, compared with the weird abilities of "conceptual staging of injuries" and "staging of physical strength", staging of "alienation process caused by pollution" actually seems more normal.
At this time, Lu Pingan had no chance to joke with the big cat. He was suddenly surrounded by the rescue team, asking him what he had done and whether the man could still be saved.
"...I can't reduce the total amount of pollution, but I can control the 'mutated stimulation' he suffered from it to one-third or one-sixth. Plus he has been separated from the source of pollution. Maybe it can be saved..." Lu Ping'an pretended to think and asked Big Cat to give the most convincing reason.
"...I can only postpone the price it will bear. If it is divided into three parts, it will break out again at this time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If it is divided into six parts, it will break out again in the next five months..." "
Lu Pingan's words immediately caused the rescue team to explode.
"Report it, report it quickly!"
"Hurry, hurry up, tell us quickly, how many people can be saved..."
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Lu Ping'an knew that today's plan might be completely messed up, and he might not be able to leave.
The alienation reaction of pollution is a chain. If it exceeds the threshold, it will cause mutation, and the mutation will produce more mutations, and finally become completely inhuman... In a sense, it is similar to cancer cells.
As long as Lu Ping An stops it and one-third of the "cancer cells" are controlled in time, that person can still be saved... The early stage and the terminal stage of cancer are not the same thing.
"How much does your ability cost, and how many times can you use it..."
how many times? Lu Ping'an looked at the panel and saw that there seemed to be no restrictions.
"...There is no price to pay for not having the ability. I don't want to say the exact price. But now, I can use it many, well, many times."
Giving your ability, paying the price, and getting rewarded are already the golden rules in the life of a professional secret keeper.
Lu Ping'an didn't want to show "no cost", then the gratitude and reward would be severely compromised, but he also didn't intend to give up on saving more people... Anyway, it was just a matter of taking a photo, it was just convenient.
So, after "We will definitely compensate you, I swear on the honor of a professional secret keeper," Lu Pingan embarked on a day of temporary overtime work.
That extra day of overtime work... Lu Ping'an was even forced to put on a dark protective suit. Dressed like a shady visitor from a foreign land.
He is not professional enough, but others have enough sense of confidentiality, and this ability must be carefully hidden.
By the time the road was safely cleared, it was completely dark.
In fact, he wasn't tired, because there weren't many people in total that he had to take action... He still saved the lives of dozens of people.
The other rescue team members already regarded him as God.
Just after returning to his hotel, Lu Pingan saw his fellow candidates.
"Hey, it looks like things are going well?"
Although both Xia Qin and Guan Xinxian looked ugly, at least they did not see any obvious changes.
Lu Ping'an glanced at the two of them, opened his spiritual vision, and felt his vitality... After confirming that everything was fine and there was no need to accept his "delayed treatment", he relaxed.
In fact, he was not worried about Xia Qin. The resistance of the Sword Master was always outrageous. As a fourth-level warrior, he might be looking down on her.
Guan Xinxian's condition is much better than expected... If he were in the same room with me, he would probably be at the level of the two people who were in the best condition, which is a bit beyond his third-level level. .
"I have accumulated a lot. Also, the protection system naturally has some advantages in this regard. Well, it may have taken a lot of advantages."
Xia Qin nodded beside her. The pressure she endured was less than expected. She was used to stacking protection/restraint armor...but considering that she had experienced the sacrifice night, even if Without stacking armor, her chances of having problems are extremely low.
And they were discussing the hottest topic among candidates...
"Lu Ping'an, have you seen the 'man in black'? He is the god-level doctor who can still get you back even if you have crossed the line."
"Well, it can interfere with deep mutations within individuals, at least at the rule level. Maybe it's a quasi-god." Guan Xinxian nodded with certainty on his face.
Lu Ping'an opened his mouth, where to start.
