the only savior

Chapter 709

"I... didn't die...?"

On a hospital bed in an infirmary, Yaming slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the itching coming from his body, he couldn't help but have deep doubts in his heart.

Obviously I have suffered such a serious injury before, but why can't I feel it at all now.

He sat up slowly, pulled off the clothes on his chest, and checked the injured part.

"how can that be……"

There, the bloody hole that was originally shot by the monster has completely healed now.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a scar, he would even have wondered if he was dreaming just now.

"Could it be that... those aliens saved me...?"

Yaming is not stupid, just a moment of confusion, and he immediately found the answer.

Judging from the wound that was pierced through his chest at that time, unless he was immediately teleported to the high-level operating table in the federal central area, and there was a team of expert-level medical teams beside him, he would definitely be dead.

However, considering the identity of the other party's alien, Yaming was relieved again.

Since it is an advanced civilization that can connect endless galaxies, it is really too simple to treat the mere injuries of an ordinary person like him.

While thinking, a slender figure pushed open the door and walked in.

"Ah! Yaming, you're awake!"

The visitor let out a cry of surprise.

"Lily?"

Seeing this, Yaming was slightly stunned, and then, as if he was relieved, he quickly jumped off the bed.

"You... I saw you were captured by that monster... I thought... It's great that you're fine!"

His expression was a little shy, and he seemed to have admiration for this girl, otherwise he would not have rushed out to save her at that time.

The girl lowered her head shyly, and whispered:
"I'm fine, Master Jixing rescued me, and your injury was also healed by them..."

"Master Ji Xing...?"

Yaming is obviously still unfamiliar with this name.

Immediately, Lily told him Zhang Xiaoman's identity before, and recounted all the things that happened before, Yaming was dumbfounded.

"By the way, I have another piece of good news to tell you!"

The girl suddenly said mysteriously.

"good news?"

"Yes, the Star Alliance is about to start recruiting newcomers. There are five places in total. I heard that you only need to complete the test of hunting aberrants to successfully join them!"

Her words immediately made Yaming show a joyful expression.

"You, is what you said true? They plan to accept five places this time!?"

Lily looked at his excited look, burst out laughing, and said:

"Yeah, everyone is discussing this topic, and many people want to win a spot!"

Yaming couldn't stand up anymore and kept walking in the house.

He also knew about the awakened people of the Star Alliance.

Among other things, Na Rui is the simplest example.

After joining the Star Alliance, he awakened the power called dark energy, and then he could become as powerful as those unattainable genetic warriors in the past.

No, compared to genetic warriors, awakened ones are obviously stronger.

This can be seen from the strength displayed by the two aliens.

As a man, who doesn't have a superhero dream.

Yaming imagined that he could go to the sky and enter the earth, and the moment he tore the monster with his hands, his heart became hot unconsciously.

"Quick! Let's go and see what that test is! I must seize this opportunity!"

……

In the innermost office building, it was as bright as day, and the lighting spell suspended on the ceiling lit up the surroundings, as if it could make people temporarily forget the pain of the scarlet doom.

This small ball of light was released by Na Rui.

As Yang Yangyang's assistant, and an ancient star who has survived in this doomsday environment for more than three months, the first formula she learned was the lighting spell.

On the side, Zhang Xiaoman was flipping through a booklet in his hand.

It contains the basic information of the survivors in the camp, as well as some supplies.

The writing was written in Chinese, and only three people present could understand it.

"Food and weapons are still sufficient, and there should be no need to replenish them in a short time. However, the local compressed food is a bit scarce, which is not conducive to our future transactions..."

Zhang Xiaoman pointed to a certain place on the booklet, and said to Su Ya:
"Suya, later you go to sort out all the compressed food, find a few people, and let's go to the black market in the 'Lightless Zone'."

"I understand."

The girl nodded dryly, turned and left.

She is the only native who can understand Chinese so far on Ancient Lens Planet, and she wrote the booklet that records the hints in the base.

This is not surprising, after all, Su Ya is an orthodox genetic warrior, the main direction of transformation is manipulation, and learning ability is naturally not a problem.

These daily camp management tasks were temporarily handed over to her before finding suitable talents.

On the side, Yang Yangyang handed over a list of personnel who are the most likely to pass the assessment.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the content above, he didn't recognize most of them, they should be the new survivors who joined the camp later.

This time there are a total of five people, and the content of the assessment is to hunt and kill mutants.

Of course, weapons would definitely be provided to them, otherwise, ordinary people like them would not have been able to defeat the ferocious monsters.

In fact, there should be six people in the quota this time, but one of them has been assigned to Su Ya by default.

As a genetic warrior, Su Ya set up a survivor camp in the apocalypse and saved dozens of lives. No matter how she looked at it, she met the recruitment standards of the Star Alliance.

"Yes, I will leave it to you to handle these. I won't stay here for too long. I will go back after I get the Corona suit. If you encounter anything, go back to the organization to find me , or you can go to Su Changqing."

Zhang Xiaoman handed back the list to him, and for the time being, he, the garrison, has full authority to manage the affairs here.

After Yang Yangyang took the paper, there was a wry smile on his face, and he joked:
"Aha, I thought I could practice hard here for a while, but I didn't expect to start my old business."

Zhang Xiaoman also smiled and said:

"Okay, you are the best at this in our organization right now. After you finish this time, I will formally appoint you as the head of the Light Blue Department when you go back. Don't let me down in the future."

"Thank you boss!"

Yang Yangyang said happily.

"By the way, about this recruitment, you haven't forgotten what I told you last time, have you?"

"Don't worry, Boss, I'll remember everything. This place is different from ours, and there are not so many restrictions on recruiting new members. As long as there are no problems with the basic principles, the main thing is to focus on combat effectiveness."

"That's good."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

"Let's go and see what the Corona suit you said looks like."

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the house, and seven or eight survivors outside were ready.

They were all selected by Su Ya. They were considered to be the best in physical fitness among this group of personnel. They were all young and strong, and they were usually responsible for the security work of the base.

But now, security work does not need them for the time being.

Zhang Xiaoman assigned ten star knights to stay here, and they will be responsible for the security of the ancient edge star base in the future.

At this moment, when a group of young people saw this Master Jixing appearing in front of them at close range, they all seemed very nervous and cramped.

Zhang Xiaoman came up to the crowd and quietly sized them up.

The first batch of awakeners in the future should be among them.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he actually saw the injured person in the crowd.

He didn't know what this person's name was, but although he was a little stunned, his courage was commendable after all, which left a little impression on him.

"Old Yang, you go with them. I will arrange two star guards to follow you. If there is an emergency, you can tell me through the star guards."

Zhang Xiaoman confessed to Yang Yangyang in a low voice, then flew into the air, and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to run down slowly with these guys.

When everyone saw him leave, for some reason, they breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no way, staying with this person, the psychological pressure is too great.

Zhang Xiaoman took a step ahead and flew directly to the bottom floor of the building, which is the "lightless zone" that Na Rui and Su Ya said.

The dark zone is located below the entire city, and it got its name because most of the light is blocked by buildings hundreds of meters high.

It can be said that the dark areas of the whole city are connected together.

Here, there are large and small black markets, mercenary organizations, private medical clinics, romantic places, etc.

It's all the filth and chaos, an area that normal people would never want to set foot in.

Zhang Xiaoman's goal is the black market here.

Normally, if you want to enter the dark zone, you need to pass through the warehouse area at the bottom of the building. Down there, you can see an iron door with golden flowers.

After opening the iron gate, you still need to pass through a processing plant. Finally, at the end of the pipe, you can see the iron gate with the same style again. Passing through it, you will be in the dark zone.

Of course, there is an easier way.

That is to jump directly from these buildings and guarantee to reach the destination within tens of seconds.

Zhang Xiaoman naturally chose the quickest and easiest method.

When his figure descended from the sky and appeared in this dark zone, there was a series of "bang bang bang" sounds of doors closing all around.

He looked around inexplicably, although it was darker than the upper floor, it was nothing to him.

The modification of Sun Essence gave him the ability of simple night vision, and he was still able to barely see the surrounding scene clearly.

It had to be said that the environment here was worse than he had imagined.

Zhang Xiaoman could see that not far from his feet was a small river full of sewage, from which the rotten smell kept wafting.

All kinds of pipes can be seen in all directions, both for ventilation and for water.

It seems that this whole dark zone is built on such pipes.

"Da da da~"

A series of footsteps came, accompanied by several bright lights.

Zhang Xiaoman looked up, and saw a group of people running towards him holding homemade torches in the distance, and when they approached, they surrounded him with alert expressions.

He raised his eyebrows. He didn't know where these guys were making trouble. Could it be that this is the way of greeting in the dark zone?
Just as he was about to see what tricks these people were planning to come up with, he saw them suddenly stop what they were doing, and then, as if they were relieved, they put down the weapons they were aiming at him. .

"What, it turned out to be a person, it scared me."

"Yeah, I thought another monster fell from the sky. 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 fall to his death from such a high place?"

"Hey! Why don't you care about him! Anyway, he's not a monster, it's just that he can't eat you!"

"I guess I fell from the first and second floors, so I didn't fall to my death. Haha, this kid is lucky!"

"Let's go, let's go..."

"..."

A group of people came in a hurry, and left cleanly, and soon disappeared.

Zhang Xiaoman stood there speechless, he also heard the reason from the conversation of these people just now, and he figured out the ins and outs of the matter in general.

It turned out that the reason why the people around closed the door immediately was because everyone heard the sound of heavy objects falling from a high altitude.

For people living in the lightless zone, under the disaster of the scarlet light, the impact here is minimal.

After all, there is not even a single light on weekdays, let alone being polluted and turning into a monster.

Therefore, compared to the well-lit civilian areas upstairs, the probability of people here becoming aberrants is actually lower.

But less light doesn't mean it's safe.

Occasionally, due to various accidents, deformed monsters would fall from the sky into this area.

Coupled with the powerful vitality of the deformed monsters, many of them would not be fatal after falling, and then began to move around in this area.

The no-light area is inherently dark, and the aberrants are good at hiding and sneaking.

Their combat capabilities are brought into full play here, and once humans encounter these guys, they will suffer heavy losses.

Over time, everyone will develop a tacit understanding.

Whenever there is a monster that suddenly appears from the sky, no matter what, all the people nearby must work together to kill it, so as not to cause more serious harm.
