Doomsday Hero Academy

A light rain fell from the sky.

Just like waking up in early spring, every spring rain should bring new hope, but pedestrians on the street avoid it one after another, looking unlucky.

"Xiao Shen, don't worry about your stall for now. This damn acid rain is going to get worse and worse soon. Come to the eaves to take shelter from the rain. Otherwise, what will you do if you get gonorrhea!"

Uncle Chen, who sells breakfast, and his wife, Aunt Wang, skillfully covered their dining cart with a raincloth. They saw Su Shen alone there, busy covering his small stall.

"Right away, I'll come right away!"

While cursing the thief, Su Shen continued to brave the rain and hurriedly covered the pancake cart. Then he covered his head with a rag and hid under the eaves in the rain.

Aunt Wang hurriedly took something that looked like a rag and a towel, something that could be called a towel, and quickly wiped the rain off Su Shen's head.

While wiping Su Shen's delicate face, she complained distressedly: "This is the damn apocalypse, with acid rain falling every two days. How can we people live?"

There was a 'click'.

Uncle Chen sat under the eaves, took out a crumpled cigarette from his arms and lit it, put it into his mouth skillfully, took a gloomy sip, and sighed:

"The hemp rope only picks out the finer points, and the bad luck only picks out the miserable ones! I don't know when the end of this day will come! What a thief!"

He took a deep puff of the cigarette, then quickly stubbed it out with his fingers, feeling a little distressed, and carefully stuffed it back into his arms.

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and grabbed Uncle Chen's ears: "I can only make a few bucks a month. If I have any spare money, I have already bought cigarettes. Just smoke it. Sooner or later you will get lung cancer!"

"Hey, hey, it hurts!"

"What do you say!"

Uncle Chen opened Aunt Wang's hand fiercely and spat: "Hurry up!"

Su Shen took the towel from Aunt Wang's hand, wiped her forehead, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Aunt Wang, didn't the big company in the consortium say that they are about to develop some genetic medicine, as long as One injection can not only treat cancer, but also improve the body's mechanism and prolong life."

Aunt Wang sneered: "Just rely on him? I earn these three melons and two dates every day, I'm afraid I can't even afford the bottle of the medicine!"

Uncle Chen smiled coquettishly: "That's not necessarily the case. Don't underestimate people. What if I get rich one day? Let me tell you, when I have money, I will buy something called genetic medicine. Throw one bottle at a time, and what stands out is the boldness!”

Before Aunt Wang could speak, Su Shen suddenly said leisurely: "Uncle Chen, since you bought two bottles, why would you rather buy one and throw away the other than give it to Aunt Wang?"

"Ah, this!"

Before Uncle Chen could react, Aunt Wang's face changed and she grabbed his ears fiercely: "Okay! Tell me, have you wanted to change your wife for a long time?"

"No, honey, don't listen to Xiao Shen's nonsense!"

"Haha, I think you just have an itchy skin! Tell me, are you still thinking about Xiao Cui on the next street?"

"No, honey, listen to my quibbles, no! Listen to my explanation, oh, it's not a slap in the face..."

"On the count of three, show your face!"

"I do not!"

Seeing the old couple fighting, Su Shen smiled and sat on the ground leaning against the mottled earth wall behind him. He looked at the gloomy sky with clear eyes and sighed silently in his heart:

"It looks like the acid rain today won't stop for a while. I guess no one wants to go out. We have to close this stall before it opens. Alas, I can't buy the Xiaolongbao I promised to buy for Xiaomi."

"Hey..."

At this time, Uncle Chen, who had just been severely punished by Aunt Wang, sat next to Su Shen and looked at him with a resentful expression:

"Xiao Shen, I'm usually pretty nice to you. Why are you trying to trick me?"

Su Shen didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that he was just quick-talking and picked up the conversation for some reason?

At that moment, I had to change the subject: "Uncle, I'm afraid the acid rain today won't stop for a while. I don't think many people will come. I'm going to close the stall. What about you?"

Uncle Chen looked at the sky and said, "I'll wait a little longer. After all, I live nearby and there's nothing to do if I go back at this time."

"it is good."

Su Shen nodded, stood up and was about to leave, but Aunt Wang handed him an umbrella: "Xiao Shen, take the umbrella and go home quickly. Don't worry about your pancake cart. Wait for the rain to stop." Well, I will push it for you in my courtyard first, and you can go directly to my house after school tomorrow to push it."

"Is this...appropriate?"

Su Shen was a little embarrassed.

Since her adoptive parents disappeared three years ago, Su Shen has been responsible for the family by herself. She gets up early in the morning to sell pancakes at a stall, then goes to school during the day, and continues to sell pancakes after school in the afternoon to support herself and her sister, who is three years younger than him.

Su Shen's character is that he doesn't want to cause trouble to others. He would rather suffer and be tired than ask for help.

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. Xiaomi is still waiting for you at home. Besides, you still can't trust Aunt Wang, are you afraid that Aunt Wang will steal your pancake cart?"

"how come."

Su Shen smiled, showing two rows of neat white teeth: "Thank you, Aunt Wang."

Looking at Su Shen holding an umbrella and leaving, her thin figure in the rain, Aunt Wang, who was still smiling just now, sighed:

"What a good kid, but why does God treat these brothers and sisters so unfairly?"

Uncle Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Su Shen's back, but said with a smile: "Why are you, a woman, worried about all this? In my opinion, with Xiao Shen's character, he will definitely become a big thing in the future, and we may have more The day I begged him.”

"Xiao Shen will be a sophomore in high school in the second half of this year, right? I heard that after the second year of high school, there will be an 'awakening' assessment. If you can awaken, you will be a transcendent. In the future, you can go to Dragon City and attend our training academy in Jinzhou. , the future is even more limitless, do you think Xiao Shen can wake up?"

"I don't know." Uncle Chen suddenly felt like smoking. He lit half of the cigarette he just had and took a deep sip: "But I think it's a bit confusing. Xiao Shen is still too thin. Which of those extraordinary people is not Five big and three thick ones?"

"Hey, according to your statement, those female dolls have to be strong and strong to be awakened?"

"Look, aren't you being arrogant..."

...

Su Shen held an umbrella and walked slowly in the rain.

It's not that he doesn't want to walk fast, it's just that the roads in this slum area are really bumpy and uneven, and there are many places where there are even no manhole covers. If he falls if he walks fast, he will be injured even if he is minor.

It's just an injury. Once the acid rain soaks into the wound, it's not a trivial matter. If it's serious, the entire leg will have to be amputated.

Although if your leg is amputated, you can go to the prosthetic center opened by the consortium to get a prosthetic limb, but the price is not something that a poor student like me can afford.

At this time, he happened to pass by a place that looked like a small courtyard.

Outside the small courtyard is an earthen wall made of rammed loess, but the pits have long been corroded by acid rain, leaving mottled traces of time everywhere. The sound of class could be heard faintly inside:

"Today we continue our history lesson."

"As mentioned in the last class, after the Xia Dynasty in 2023, because the island countries began to pour nuclear sewage into the ocean without restrictions, the ocean will be completely polluted 50 years later. Various polluted mutant organisms began to appear in the ocean, which also caused the world Entering the doomsday era,

Later, because the island nation was the first to be polluted, new mutant beasts began to appear everywhere in the interior, eventually leading to the destruction of the country.

In various parts of the world, due to the evaporation of polluted seawater, acid rain frequently fell. After many years, alien animals and plants that mutated due to pollution began to appear frequently in the wild. In the end, every large city could only build steel barriers to survive. Save,

Students should all know about these barriers. The one closest to us is the Dragon City Barrier to the north.

Okay, let's continue the lecture.

Because of the emergence of mutant beasts, we humans, once at the top of the world, began to decline rapidly. We are no longer the masters of the world. We no longer dare to easily enter the wilderness, and world communications have almost come to a standstill.

After more than 200 years, 16 years ago, the world ushered in a new change, that is————”

At this time, the students in the audience said in unison: "The birth of the extraordinary!"

"Correct!"

The teacher's voice sounded very pleased: "Yes, it was precisely because of the revival of spiritual energy 16 years ago that humans began to awaken to the emblems, extraordinary beings were born one after another, and China has also entered a new situation.

The pioneer army composed of extraordinary people under the council, as well as the mercenaries of the consortium, began to continuously open up the wilderness, establish life passages, build new towns and new human settlements, and then entered the period of our current life. ——The new human era. "

Su Shen listened quietly.

These stories, or history, are not unfamiliar to him, because he also graduated from this small courtyard.

This is a school jointly funded by the Huaxia Alliance composed of a board of directors and a consortium. There is more than one elementary school like this in Jinju.

In fact, the consortium did not plan to open these schools at the beginning. After all, it would not make much money, so it was better to control these resources in its own hands.

However, all their consortiums are under the supervision and management of the board of directors. They are forced to obey the call of the board of directors due to the agreement they signed together before.

The Council is not a consortium, they have no power of their own, but the entire alliance is managed by the Council.

In other words, the entire alliance can be their power.

This is also the reason why the consortium must obey. In addition to being a member of the alliance, the main reason is because the council has the alliance's first army, the Pioneer Army.

Most of the warriors in the Pioneer Army are the first batch of 'transcendents' who have awakened the heraldry. They are also the army with the most extraordinarys and the strongest high-level combat power in the entire China.

Xia Yuan, the commander of the council, is one of only a dozen B-level experts in the alliance.

The core concept of the Council is to protect China and lead China back to the period of unification thousands of years ago and towards rejuvenation.

But this is the end of the world after all. The consortium has firmly controlled its own territory and established its own political situation and military system in the past few hundred years, so even if the council wants to unify, it is not that easy.

Moreover, since the first batch of extraordinary beings appeared due to the revival of spiritual energy 16 years ago, the consortium has not been idle. They are also actively cultivating their own extraordinary beings, but they are far behind the Council for the time being.

It is currently known that there are 13 B-level extraordinary beings under the Council, each of whom has the ability to destroy heaven and earth, and there are as many as hundreds of C-level extraordinary beings under their command!

As for the consortium's subordinates, there are only a dozen or so C-level ones at most. As for B-level ones, I have never heard of them. Maybe there are, but they are just hidden.

These B- and C-class extraordinary beings have become the high-end combat power of the pioneer army under the council, not to mention that there are still countless D-class, E-class, and F-class warriors standing behind them.

As for why the consortium does not have so many high-level combat capabilities, it is said that it is because there is a leader on the council who has the "inherited" skills left before the end of the world, so he can cultivate so many B-levels.

Even so, there are only a dozen B-level players in the entire league.

Su Shen stood quietly in the rain for a long time, until she felt the rain getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly woke up: "I have to go home quickly, Xiaomi is still waiting for me at home!"

After a quick glance back at the teacher standing on the podium, Su Shen decided not to disturb him today.

The teacher's name is Chen Jingping. He came here ten years ago. No one knows where he comes from. Su Shen only knows that this teacher Chen is very knowledgeable. There seems to be nothing he doesn't understand. When he was fine in the past, he I am also particularly willing to come and ask Teacher Chen for advice.

But I really don’t have enough time today, otherwise I would go home...

The rain keeps falling.

Su Shen hurried back to his small courtyard.

It was a two-story courtyard located in an urban village called Anning Village. Su Shen's adoptive parents were the owners of this courtyard.

Three years ago, Su Shen inherited this compound after his adoptive parents disappeared, but the name of his sister, Yuan Xiaomi, was written on the property certificate.

After all, Su Shen was an adopted child. Even if Yuan Xiaomi was willing, Su Shen didn't want to take it.

16 years ago, Su Shen was abandoned in front of Yuan Xiaomi's parents, and was adopted by them. Three years later, she had Yuan Xiaomi.

Although Su Shen was adopted, her adoptive parents never regarded Su Shen as an outsider and as their own child, and the relationship between the brother and sister was very good.

Su Shen stretched his hand through the door hole, gently pulled the door bolt, and slowly pushed open the courtyard gate. The somewhat rusty door creaked.

"Su Gougou, why did you come back!"

A coquettish voice came from upstairs. A girl who was so beautiful that she looked like a porcelain doll was standing proudly on the second floor, staring at him with her hands on her hips: "You left a beautiful girl like me alone?" Doesn’t your conscience hurt at home?”

Su Shen walked up to the second floor and rubbed Yuan Xiaomi's head: "How can you, a child, get so many dramas?"

Yuan Xiaomi slapped away the hand that was stroking his hair: "I don't care. I'm scared to be alone at home. You must take me to sell pancakes with you tomorrow!"

"No", Su Shen shook his head, took Yuan Xiaomi's hand and walked home: "Don't think that I don't know what your idea is. You have to go to school and don't even think about selling pancakes."

"what the hell!"

Yuan Xiaomi sat on the sofa unwillingly: "Then you also have to study at night, why can you ask for leave?"

"Can you do the same with me?"

As he said that, Su Shen looked at Yuan Xiaomi proudly: "Your brother, I am a top student, and my test scores are usually above 650 points. What about you?"

When this was mentioned, Yuan Xiaomi became a little discouraged: "Who wants to compete with you, Su Gougou..."

"Hahaha, don't think about this. I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat hot pot, spicy food, cross-bridge rice noodles..."

"Okay, I'll make you clear soup noodles!"

Yuan Xiaomi fell on the sofa in frustration and muttered: "Then you still ask me?"

But she didn't complain because she knew how hard Su Shen had put in for this family.

The reason why she wanted to accompany Su Shen to sell pancakes was not only because she didn't want to study at night, but also because she wanted to help Su Shen share some of the burden so that he wouldn't be so tired.

Seeing Su Shen busy in the kitchen, Yuan Xiaomi put away her arrogant expression and showed a hint of distress:

"Su Gougou, how about we rent out the house downstairs, so that we can at least subsidize the family income?"

Su Shen's voice came from the kitchen: "Yuan Xiaomi! I warn you not to call me Su Gou Gou, call me brother!"

"Isn't Su Gou Gou a nickname given to you by your classmates? I think it's quite vivid. Who told you to be such a stubborn person?"

Su Shen poked his head out of the kitchen, pointed at her with a shovel and sneered: "Classmate? Haha, classmate Yuan Xiaomi, do you really think I don't know who gave me the nickname?"

"Besides, what do you think I am called Gou? What I call a cautious person!"

Yuan Xiaomi suddenly felt guilty and smiled: "Okay, okay, Brother Gou, I was wrong!"

Su Shen: "......"

Why don't you just call me Su Gou Gou, Brother Gou, Brother Dog? It doesn't sound like a good name for a person.

"Su Shen, did you hear what I just said?"

"what?"

Su Shen really forgot what Yuan Xiaomi just said.

"Hmph! You really don't value me at all! So, love will disappear, right?"

"Yuan Xiaomi, I told you to read more books and watch less short videos. Look what you have learned!"

"Su Gougou, don't change the subject! I'm angry, hum! I won't eat tomorrow morning and I'm going to kick the rhubarb at the door!"

Su Shen poked his head out again in confusion: "Dahuang is fine and didn't mess with you, why did you kick him?"

"Okay, you don't even ask me why I didn't eat breakfast. You really don't love me anymore!"

Su Shen: "..."

What's all this mess?

Su Shen felt very bad and quickly looked back to prepare noodles.

At this time, Yuan Xiaomi walked to the kitchen door, leaned against the door and asked, "I just said, how about we rent out the house on the first floor, so that we can at least subsidize the family income."

"no!"

Su Shen refused without thinking.

There are indeed many empty rooms in the yard, which were originally rented out.

It's just that after Su Shen's adoptive parents disappeared mysteriously, Su Shen stopped renewing the lease when the original tenant's rent expired, and he didn't plan to rent out any more.

It's not that he is not short of money, but that only the 16-year-old himself and Yuan Xiaomi, who is three years younger than him, are left at home.

Now, in the last days, especially in Anning Village, which is considered a slum, the order is even more chaotic, and the Order Department doesn't care much about it.

I am usually not at home, and Xiaomi is the only one at home. Once something happens, I will regret it.

Being prudent as he was, he immediately decided that the empty room in the yard would no longer be rented out. Even if he had a harder time as a result, he could not put Yuan Xiaomi in potential danger.

"Huh, you don't rent out, is it because you, a single dog, are afraid of being attacked by the tenants' dog food?"

Su Shen felt that her little heart was stabbed twice by Yuan Xiaomi with a knife again.

He couldn't help but think of what happened before the last tenant left.

They were two students from the training academy, a pair of young men and women around 20 years old. Every night they would make that huge strange sound with painful wails...

In short, Su Shen never had a good night's sleep during the days they lived here.

Fortunately, the management of the training academy is strict and they are not allowed to go out at will. They will only come to stay for a few days on weekends. Otherwise, Su Shen would have gone crazy.

At this time, the clear soup noodles were also cooked. Su Shen quickly took out the noodles and brought them to the dining table in the living room.

"time to eat."

Watching Yuan Xiaomi eating noodles, Su Shen suddenly thought that Xiaomi's character is a bit precocious. Now that her parents are gone, as the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Shouldn't he give her some correct guidance on some things?

Su Shen said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, uh... Xiaomi, you are also a big boy. After dinner, I have to talk to you about some things between men and women..."

Yuan Xiaomi finished the last bite of noodles, drank the soup in a gulp, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Su Shen seriously:

"It's okay, brother. Don't be embarrassed. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
