Chapter 2 Physical Fitness Test, Junior Soldiers

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses in an instant. [ ]

It was not because of a strong will, but because of the peculiar smell that rushed straight to his head.

It was a disgusting sour and rotten stench.

He subconsciously held his breath, and was shocked by the scene in front of him the next second.

Why?

Because everything he saw before through the biological force field had changed dramatically!

The originally desolate and peaceful streets were now full of gray-white giant maggots!

They were huge and fat, and their bodies were comparable to adult wild boars!

Through their epidermis, you can clearly see the roiling liquid and colorful blue and green internal organs in the worm body.

They squirmed frantically, and streams of yellow-green thick mucus oozed from their abdomens, corroding and decomposing the weeds and dead trees on the street.

The breeze blew by, bringing everyone an unforgettable stimulation, which was the source of the stench.

"Ugh! What are these things?"

Looking at those giant maggots, some people retched, and some were terrified, but Lu Ming did not stop for this and ran forward.

The giant maggots were clearly wriggling, but they seemed not to see him, which meant that they were either suppressed or sealed.

Considering the biological force field that had sealed himself off and filtered out foreign creatures, Lu Ming speculated that it was most likely the same thing, but the countdown for the survivors had not yet ended, and the foreign creatures could not move for the time being.

In this way, the current priority was already clear, that is, to find a shelter where they could take temporary refuge!

"Hey!"

Seeing Lu Ming suddenly run wildly, the people who were shocked by the giant maggots reacted in unison and quickly scattered around.

Lu Ming had already distanced himself from everyone, and at this time he was looking around at the surrounding environment.

It was neither good luck nor bad luck, as they happened to be in an older commercial street.

No, rather than a commercial street, it was better to say a commercial alley, which was the kind of ordinary street with storefronts on the first floor and residential areas on the second floor.

Looking up at the residential area full of creeping grass, Lu Ming was very excited.

First, the community is a residential area, and there is a high probability that there are still some survival supplies and daily necessities. At worst, you can find a few handy tools.

Second, the community has a commanding height, which can observe a larger and farther range, and can obtain more geographical information, which has obvious advantages.

Unfortunately, there is only so much preparation time, and it is simply a fantasy to want to enter it. Not to mention whether you can run into the community from the alley, even if you enter, you may not be able to find an unlocked and safe indoor door.

The first choice is hopeless, and you can only focus on the present, that is, the shops on both sides.

Private supermarkets, breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurants, and hardware stores are of course good. The first two options have both supplies and tools, and the latter option has absolutely complete tools.

Stationery stores, photo studios, barber shops, and real estate agencies are the worst choices. Except for being able to temporarily avoid alien invasion, nothing can be expected.

Finally, there are decent mobile phone agency points (including repairs), home appliance repairs and affordable pharmacies. The former has repair tools, and the latter has medicines. Medicines will never seem redundant at any time, unless they are all expired. That means God wants to give you a great task, and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

However, he ran a few hundred meters and scanned dozens of stores. Any store involving food, tools, and medicines was either closed, occupied by giant maggots, or simply filled with them, as if deliberately not leaving the best choice for you, so that the best choice was completely destroyed.

There are a few safe stationery stores, real estate agencies, and barber shops. Lu Ming wrote them all down as the final backup, and looked at the countdown in front of him. There are still two minutes left, and there is still a chance to try his luck.

Another few dozen seconds passed, and finally Huang Tian did not let him down. When there was one minute and twenty seconds left in the countdown, he saw a mobile phone repair shop with a half-open roller shutter door and a closed glass door, but the chain was hanging empty. Except for three giant maggots squatting on the left and right of the door, there was no sign of aliens inside.

That's it!

After locking the target, Lu Ming sprinted at full speed, removed the chain, squeezed open the glass door, crouched and slipped half of his body in.

He didn't rush in, but looked around and searched around. After confirming that there were no living creatures in any corner, including the ceiling, he pushed open the glass door, jumped up, pulled down the shutter door to isolate the outside world, and then closed the door with his backhand, wrapped the chain around the door handle, and tied it tightly.

"Hu... Hu... Hu..."

After doing all this, Lu Ming's clothes were soaked, as if he had run ten kilometers, and he sat limp on the ground.

His temples were beating rapidly, and his breathing frequency became extremely rapid, but his eyes refused to blink, staring at the countdown.

"30...20...10..."

"5...4...3...2...1"

[The timer is over, the alien biological force field is lifted, I wish you all the best, and a smooth road ahead]

The subtitles slowly disappeared and reappeared, but this time it was no longer a countdown, but an attribute panel.

But before he could take a closer look, there was a turbulent movement outside, followed by a foul smell that penetrated the two-layer door and a scream like a crying baby.

Horrified, his heart and soul were shaken, Lu Ming felt his scalp tingling, and his whole body moved inward involuntarily.

It was not until his back was against the maintenance counter that he finally felt a little safe.

It was obvious that the giant maggots had lifted the blockade, and there was no peace outside the house. The only thing to be thankful for was that he would not be killed at the moment.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Lu Ming refocused his sight on the attribute panel in front of him.

It was very similar to the character panel in the game. At the top was a photo of the person, which was consistent with the ID photo and very clear. Clicking it could also see a full-body mirror image, which was very magical. Below was personal information.

Name: Lu Ming

Gender: Male

Number: 66666

Age: 24

Specialization level: Undetected (click to start scanning the subject)

General functions: [Collection] [World Channel] [Trading] [Space Bag]

There was not much information, just a few lines, but there were many questions in return.

The most concerned one was the "Undetected" after the specialization level.

Click to scan the subject?

It was getting more and more like a game, but the reality was so real that he couldn't describe it.

He had no time to think about these thankless things. With the attitude of giving it a try, Lu Ming clicked "Undetected".

It was amazing that there was actually touch feedback, just like clicking on the screen of a mobile phone, and the feel was real.

[Begin to detect physical data...]

A beam of blue light shot out from the panel, scanning Lu Ming from top to bottom.

[Data detection completed, level assessment: primary soldier]

Instantly, the "undetected" behind the strength level was changed to "primary soldier".

It seems that this is the strength realm of Jia Lan's end.

Click to view details.

Primary soldier: initially possesses the conditions to become a hunting warrior, slightly stronger than ordinary people, swallowing specialized crystals can increase the level, current progress (0/10)

Specialized crystal: a precious energy body that appears after purifying alien creatures, which contains huge energy. In addition to increasing the specialized level, it can also be used as a consumable to replace most energy consumption.

After learning about the level and the method of increasing the level, Lu Ming's face was gloomy.

In this way, the survival situation that did not allow lying down was directly made worse.

Because the only way to become stronger is to confront alien creatures head-on.
