Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 859 The unshakable fortress

On the seventh day after the disaster broke out, the Academy of the Brave was hit by a storm that suddenly appeared nearby.

The outlying cities built on the basis of the academy were all destroyed in the storm. Countless monsters with strange shapes emerged from the storm and began to hunt the surviving humans.

All prosperity seems to disappear in disaster...except the academy.

"According to statistics, about 30.00% of the residents chose to leave the college before the storm... We can only conclude that all of them are dead now."

"The barrier covering the academy is very stable. Neither storms nor monsters can invade at all... But where does that barrier come from?"

"The supplies terminal suddenly stopped working. Although we still have reserves, there are so many people in the college now, and we probably won't be able to hold on for long."

What suddenly appeared and covered the entire exterior of the academy, completely isolating the inside and outside was a huge dome-shaped barrier.No one knows where this barrier came from, but everyone knows that without it, the college would be in ruins.

"...Is there something wrong with the principal? Shouldn't she have come to the conference room long ago?"

So many things happened in a short period of time, but Shi Ya, as the dean of the college, has not come forward to explain.The managers responsible for various affairs of the college naturally had some doubts and began to whisper.

"Did something go wrong with the previous test? Didn't the technical department say they couldn't determine the specific condition of the dean?"

"It would be terrible if that's the case..."

However, before the people in the conference room could discuss a result, a frightening atmosphere suddenly erupted in the room.Whether they are experienced warriors or talented newcomers, they all feel a strong sense of suffocation under this cold pressure.

"I'm really flattered that everyone can talk about it like this."

No one saw clearly when Shiya appeared. When everyone at the conference table realized it, she was already sitting in her seat.

However, Shi Ya, who had always been dressed in men's clothes, changed into quite feminine clothes this time for some reason.The white sleeveless shirt paired with loose low-waisted wide-leg pants and high-heeled women's leather shoes perfectly showed off her capable feminine charm that was originally concealed.

——Of course, the most frightening thing is the huge silver-white coat of arms with a pattern like a clock dial that is constantly rotating slowly behind her.

"What do you think of the current situation? If you have any questions, you can ask."

Shiya crossed her legs very casually and took out a silver pocket watch.The ticking sound of the second hand was clearly audible in the somewhat depressingly quiet conference room, vibrating everyone's soul like a constant hammer.

Now Shi Ya is no longer the person they are familiar with.

"President, can the barrier outside be said to be..."

"Just a little trick."

Is the barrier that completely blocks out the storm and monsters just a "little trick"?No one could understand what kind of power it was, and Shi Ya didn't seem interested in explaining it to them.

"The barrier can protect the academy from any attack from the Golden City, of course, only the academy."

Anyone who leaves the academy can only live and die on their own terms - Shi Ya's attitude is very clear, but this does not really solve everyone's problems.

"The material terminal in the college is no longer in use. The logistics department estimates that the reserve can only last for ten days for the entire college."

"I guess that thing is not really unusable, but that you can no longer exchange things with crystals, right?"

"...That's right."

The terminal in the Golden City is actually still operating, but the Origin Crystal, which was originally used as currency, can no longer be used.Those crystals now have no other value except that they can slightly enhance the power of human beings themselves.

"As I expected, the Golden Capital has updated the rules of this world. If you still want to survive, go hunt the monsters outside."

The academy's new weapons have just passed the actual combat test, and only a small number of combatants are currently equipped.Although they do have the strength to fight against disaster monsters, they are no longer able to maintain an absolute advantage in the battle like in the past.

Not only does the power of the Driving Star run the risk of losing control at any time, but fighting against disaster monsters is also not an easy task.A medium-sized monster requires at least three to four people to defeat it. If the opponent calls for support, the brave warriors who participate in the battle must retreat immediately.

"Change the material rationing plan. Those who are willing to participate in combat and can adapt to new weapons can get three times the ration. Those who are willing to participate in service work in the academy will receive normal rations. Those who are unwilling to do anything will directly stop the rationing."

"This, most people will object to this..."

"If they object, then let them leave the academy and find a way to survive on their own."

The Golden City mocked the weakness of mankind and used storms and monsters to destroy the civilization that mankind was proud of.Although the Academy of the Brave protected some survivors in time, it had no obligation to support them for free.

He who does not work shall not eat - this simple truth applies at all times.

"...the technical department agrees with this decision."

The short Benoir stared at Shiya closely from beginning to end, but he failed to see through the hidden secret in the end.And Shi Ya has now become the key to ensuring everyone's survival, and of course he knows exactly what he should do now.

"I have seen statistics from the logistics department. There are less than a hundred people who really have physical problems and are unable to participate in any work. The college can be responsible for providing these people with the minimum living security, but if other normal people don't want to contribute, , there is no need to stay here.”

"That's a good summary. Do you have any other questions?"

"...There are definitely technical issues."

Although Shi Ya continued to exude an astonishing sense of oppression, Benoir still stood up from his seat, as if he intended to explore some unknown truth, and he spoke out about himself or everything without any scruples. That question everyone wants to ask.

"The new weapon we created is to restore human vitality to the more primitive "Star Power", so that we can have the possibility of fighting on an equal footing with "Disaster". According to our calculations, as long as "Star Power" and vitality are As long as the ratio does not exceed a certain value, humans can stably manipulate them without losing control. Once this ratio is exceeded, the power will immediately go out of control, completely devouring human souls, and turning humans into monsters made purely of raw energy. "

"So, what's your question?"

"The "Star Power" detected from your body has already exceeded the limit value dozens of times... In the end, are you still a human being?"
