Scarlet Dawn [Apocalypse]

In the second week after the students returned to the Alliance Military Academy after Genesis Day, the high-intensity training content seemed to dismantle and reassemble everyone’s flesh and blood, breaking through the limits and gradually adapting again and again. The bodies of ordinary humans were almost cruelly tempered. Just to raise it to an unprecedented height before genetic modification.

Fewer and fewer special combat reserve soldiers came to the restaurant for dinner. After a day of training, every muscle in the body trembled like a cramp. Once they relaxed, most of them were reluctant to roll out of bed.

"Brooke isn't here again?"

At the entrance of the restaurant, the two met. Ian looked behind Bai Yi and asked casually.

Bai Yi had just taken a shower, his undried hair was still dripping with water, his combat uniform was replaced, and he was wearing a regular shirt and jeans.A day of high-intensity training seems to have no effect on him, except that his face is pale and his spirit is not bad.

"I came out of the bathroom and found that he had fallen asleep. I took some back and waited for him to wake up before eating."

Ian nodded indifferently, looked Bai Yi up and down from the corner of his eye, and said indifferently: "You are very used to this kind of training."

The two walked into the restaurant side by side and lined up behind a group of chatting biochemical creatures to receive food.

"It's okay, I don't feel too tired," Bai Yi shrugged, and said frankly: "I was beaten by Hill for more than eight hours every day last week, which is much better than this."

There was a very inconspicuous arc on the corner of Ian's mouth, Bai Yi was taken aback for a moment, and finally felt that he might have read it wrong, but then he heard Ian say: "Major General...is he able to deal with you?"

"What's wrong with this?" Bai Yi looked at him inexplicably, and waved his hands with a smile, "He will train me hard on the premise of ensuring that I won't get hurt. He is even more perverted than Ah Chen. Every time I Too tired to move and Hill acted like he was fine, it was such a blow."

"Human beings and vampires are indeed very different. After genetic modification, it will be much better," Ian said, "He will provide you with genetic samples, right?"

Bai Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled mysteriously, "In fact, he agreed to provide the three of us with genetic samples."

Ian showed a surprised expression, and Bai Yi smiled indifferently, "For him, there is no difference between providing one tube of blood and three tubes of blood. Besides, I will return it in the end anyway."

"Are you going back?" Ian asked.

The line for receiving meals moved forward slowly, Bai Yi gave a absent-minded hum, and dragged Ian to follow. He raised his wrist to look at the time displayed on the communicator, frowned slightly, and said, "I have something to do tonight, wait a minute." After receiving the food, I can only trouble you to deliver it to that guy Brook."

Ian nodded slowly, and the two fell into silence.

The group of biochemical students in front were chattering about an upcoming experimental assessment in the future. A blond beauty turned her head by chance. When her eyes met Bai Yi, she was slightly startled, and her two delicate eyebrows were raised suspiciously. He tugged at the corner of his companion's clothes, and after whispering to each other, the two turned their heads and looked at Bai Yi without hesitation.

Just when the blond beauty was about to come over to strike up a conversation, Bai Yi looked at the time again and said, "Forget it, I don't have enough time, I'll go there first." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and within two steps, he suddenly remembered what it was right to turn back. Ian said: "There is an additional training at 9 pm, and Hill is in charge. They asked for secrecy. When you deliver dinner to Brook, remember to wake him up. It is said that those who cannot gather on time will have to run a 15-kilometer obstacle."

Ian asked, "Are you... training?"

"Almost," Bai Yi didn't intend to hide it from him, raised his hand and tapped his temple, and said with a smile, "Self-enclosed training in the mental domain, to prevent Hill from always knowing that I'm scolding him~"

Ian hummed without saying anything, and watched Bai Yi disappear at the door. He turned his head and prepared to continue walking with the team, when he saw a blond girl looking at him with folded arms.

"That black-haired one is your friend?"

The other party's attitude was a bit arrogant, Ian didn't answer, but asked in a cold voice: "What's the matter?"

The beauty asked unceremoniously, "What's the relationship between him and that freak Sissi?"

Ian stared at her blankly for a moment, then said lightly, "I think you made a mistake, he never said there are any acquaintances here."

"Impossible, I saw Sissy peeking at him with my own eyes, and said it was her brother." The beauty snorted coldly, and said, "My uncle at the Central Academy of Sciences said that Sissy is a monster whose hands can be transformed into tentacles, the brother of the monster." It's unbelievable that he can still appear in the military academy with a big swagger!"

Ian's eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed, "What do you mean?"

"The accident of the power system failure of the military academy more than a month ago was because of his sister, the monster who was taken away by the special forces..."

◆

Entering the underground passage again, Bai Yi felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart for no reason, as if an invisible hand was gently kneading his heart.

After nightfall, the temperature here was several degrees lower than the ground, the overhead lighting was pale and glaring, and the hallway echoed with the echo of military boots stepping on the metal floor. Finally, when he reached the door, Bai Yi took a deep breath, and the hand on the doorknob was not too tight. Visibly trembling slightly.

He can only vaguely recall the experience of being invaded and tortured, but the feeling of being pierced into the soul is like an indelible sequelae, deeply imprinted in his blood.

The doorknob was turned open with a click, and Bai Yi subconsciously withdrew his hand, staring blankly at the door being opened from the inside.

"I heard you coming." The bright passage contrasted sharply with the pitch-black torture room. Su Chen stood at the junction of light and darkness, half of his body hidden in the darkness. He made room for one person to pass through. He smiled and said: "It seems that Conrad has left you with a very bad memory. Your thinking feedback is too intense. I can feel your fear from the moment I step into the corridor."

Hearing this, Bai Yi raised his head suddenly, and asked doubtfully, "You are human...could it be human too?"

Su Chen said: "Weapons that can read minds are very rare. This is a rare mutation in genetic modification. I am honored that I am the only one since the birth of this technology."

Bai Yi looked at him in disbelief, "There's only one?"

"Well, without my rare mutation, human beings might never be able to close the spiritual domain." Su Chen let Bai Yi in, the door closed again, and the door clicked into the lock, his voice sounded in the darkness, "The first person to understand The first step is to establish connections, and only when bridges exist can we have the opportunity to explore unknown territories, which makes sense no matter where the application is."

The claustrophobic torture room was completely dark and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Bai Yi's eyes adapted to the darkness but he still couldn't see anything. Under Su Chen's guidance, he sat down on a soft armchair.

"The closed training of the mental domain can only be carried out in this environment, because the original form of the mental domain is a closed dark space, which displays shelves and memory balls." Su Chen said: "And the darkness makes it easier for you to concentrate."

Bai Yi's heart sank in vain, and he asked calmly: "You mean, the original state will change as it grows?"

"Well, the spiritual domain reflects the spiritual world of a creature, which is affected by many acquired factors, so as the age and experience deepen, the spiritual domain will gradually become richer."

Bai Yi could feel Su Chen sitting down opposite him, so he asked in his direction: "Does this mean that this change is inevitable?"

"That's right, the original form will be maintained until the birth of the first independent consciousness," Su Chen explained: "And the spiritual domain of all creatures has no boundaries, and it will extend infinitely until it ends."

"The memory at the moment of death will be condensed into the last memory ball, and at the same time the spiritual domain will stop extending. With the disappearance of the consciousness body, the entire spiritual domain will be in a closed state. You can also understand that the soul leaves and the body becomes an empty shell—— In short, a clear boundary will appear in the spiritual domain after death."

Sensing the other party's silence, Su Chen smiled meaningfully, and said softly, "Bye, are you thinking, what if I find out that your mental domain is in its original form during training?"

Bai Yi pursed his lips tightly, and after a few minutes of silence, he asked, "Did Hill tell you about me?"

Su Chen hummed, and said: "Currently there are three pure-bloods on the earth who can read thoughts. I am a weapon with the same ability. You haven't had the chance to meet Admiral Brian yet. He can ignore it for now, and I, as a The chief instructor in charge of the 28th reserve, Hill knows very well that you can't hide from me."

"So, during orienteering, did you intend to fight the ninth-level mutant?" Bai Yi asked.

Su Chen generously admitted, "It can be said so."

Bai Yi rolled his eyes, "You lunatic."

"Thank you for the compliment~" Su Chen said modestly, "I'm just tired of living."

Ignoring the other party's joke, Bai Yi leaned back on the back of the chair, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes unconsciously fell on a certain point in the darkness. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "My spiritual domain is the original form. , Is it because this body is an artificial body, or because the first host of the body is Nine?"

"I personally think it's the second one," Su Chen paused, Bai Yi couldn't see his expression, and didn't know what the pause meant, and then his voice sounded again, "D virus is an ideology in the body Wake up, even if you have the same wisdom and behavior as human beings, man-made products are only man-made products after all, no matter how similar they are, in the spiritual domain, which is the initial field of human beings, science cannot replace nature to achieve perfection.”

Bai Yi didn't speak, suddenly, he felt a cold hand caressing his cheek, his jade-like thumb gently traced the slightly raised brow bone, and then Su Chen spoke in a rare gentle but solemn voice Said: "In any case, you have to remember that you are a human being and a host, and it is a virus, destined to be conquered by you."

Under the enhanced vision of the senses, the dark torture room was completely bright, and the boy's icy white skin seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of light. Su Chen noticed that Bai Yi's lips curved into a smile, and the complicated emotions in his eyes receded. , the frowning brows were slightly relaxed, he knew that the other party could not see him under such conditions, but he still looked into Bai Yi's eyes without turning, and finally smiled silently.

"Ah Chen, thank you." Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and patted the back of Su Chen's hand as if responding, "When shall we start?"

Su Chen stopped, as if she didn't hear the question, but said, "How is your physical fatigue recently?"

Bai Yi was stunned for a while, and said lightly, "It's okay."

"Well, that's good." Su Chen said, "I will continue to invade your mind, and you will find ways to resist, including handing over your body to virus mutants."

Bai Yi was shocked, "What did you say?!"

Su Chen: "Start now~"

"Wait for me--!"

The cold fingers clasped his chin tightly, and Bai Yi was forced to raise his chin. In the darkness, his blood-colored eyes suddenly became clear. He didn't even have time to close them, only feeling that the air around him seemed to be viscous and distorted.

A swaying soul was strangled by a flexible force, and fell into chaos in an instant.

In the mental realm, Su Chen mentioned the sleeping Nine, his eyes were cold and disdainful, and he said coolly, "You've been asleep for too long, it's time to wake up."
