The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 18
cold.

Biting cold.

At this moment, Chen Jing only felt that there was no pain in his body, as if even the bone marrow had been frozen into thorny ice slag, and every beat of his heart was extremely laborious.

Are you in a coma?
still is……

Chen Jing struggled to open his eyes, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to shake his eyelids.

The whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice hole for three or nine days.

Cool from head to toe.

"Looks like I'm really cold."

Chen Jing thought so.

Slowly taste the legendary death experience.

I heard that after the death of the body, the consciousness of the brain will remain for a period of time, the brain waves have not disappeared, and it seems that the sound of the outside world can still be heard...

"You... save... save him..."

"call----"

"I... don't understand what you... say..."

"call----"

Chen Jing could tell that the person speaking was Little Skeleton, that pitiful little guy in a raincoat who seemed to be falling apart at any moment, but another voice...

It shouldn't be a voice.

The sound was like the howling sound of the high-rise windows that were not closed tightly after winter, and the cold wind poured into the house through the gaps in the windows.

"How about... you eat me... go ahead... eat me... I have many bones... chewy..."

"call----"

Just when this strange and strange wind whistling sound appeared again, Chen Jing felt as if the top of his head had been hit by some blunt object, and then a tearing pain spread from the wound to the depths of his brain...

I do not know how long it has been.

Chen Jing gradually found that he regained control of this body. Although the feeling of ice slag flowing in his blood vessels still did not subside, he could move at least, and even opened his eyelids slightly...

Open the first glance.

Chen Jing saw the little skull squatting beside him and staring nervously at him, but before he could say anything to comfort him, he saw the old man squatting on the other side of him the second time.

To be honest, the appearance of that old man is really hard to describe.

It's that kind of...

Rare, special, subtle...

Nausea.

In fact, the old man looks quite normal. Judging from his facial features, he looks like an ordinary Caucasian, but this so-called "normal" is based on ignoring the holes in his body...

It was only at this time that Chen Jing realized where the strange wind whistling sound he heard before came from.

The old man's body was covered with bruised holes, the largest one was as big as the mouth of a bowl, and the smallest one was as narrow as a honeycomb cell.

As for why Chen Jing could see it so intuitively, it was naturally because the old man didn't wear any clothes... But it didn't make much difference whether he was wearing one or not, because the area below his neck was covered with "mud".

The old man's body is like a mass of sticky and black asphalt barely condensed into a human shape, only the head still maintains a human appearance, but there are still a few horrible holes on his face.

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose.

The original positions of these human organs were replaced by bottomless voids.

Whenever the wind blows, the cavity in the old man's body will make that strange whistling sound, as if the wind has penetrated into his body along the cavity, and even touched internal organs or bones.

When the wind came out of the hole again, they were all stained with a pungent bloody smell.

Chen Jing stared blankly at the old man and didn't move for a long time.

Because he just woke up and his brain was a little out of order.

and so……

I'm not dead?
He was saved by that little skull... No, he probably didn't have that ability.

This old man saved me?
where is this……

Chen Jing subconsciously looked away from the old man, and then looked left and right at where he was.

"This is the underground garage on the third floor?"

Chen Jing looked at the sign hanging on the ceiling not far away, and then looked at the straight tube fluorescent light above his head in confusion.

If it weren't for the brightly written underground garage on the sign, I'm afraid Chen Jing would never have imagined that the underground garage on the third floor of the sunset red community would look like this...

The walls, floor and ceiling of the garage, everything that should be cement is now "mud".

It seemed that they were all corroded by the power of the old man, and they all turned into that kind of sticky and black asphalt-like substance, even Chen Jing suspected that they were all alive...

It's like the dormitory building where Aunt Hong and the others lived.

Those black asphalt-like substances are constantly wriggling, and occasionally they will bulge and emit huge bubbles. If you listen carefully, you can still hear that weird sticky sound.

"It's great that you're still alive, sir!"

Xiaokulou suddenly cried while hugging Chen Jing, but due to his special physique, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cry. Only the violently beating flames in his eyes could prove how excited he was.

"I thought I was dead..." Chen Jing got up from the ground dumbfounded, and patted the back of the little skull, "Why don't you stutter anymore?"

"Excited!" Xiaokulou wiped away tears that did not exist, and said excitedly, "You actually killed so many people at once! Your strength is also rare in the wasteland! You..."

"Stop, stop."

Chen Jing was a little dizzy from the series of praises from the little skull, and thought that this guy stuttered before, how could he stop stuttering when he got excited, and sound like he was rapping...

"So I killed all those people?" Chen Jing asked.

"Yes!" Little Skull nodded.

Then he thought for a while and added another sentence.

"That batch was killed by you, sir! But the later batch..."

Before the little skull could finish speaking, the silent old man suddenly spoke.

"I killed."

The old man spoke in a dull tone.

Maybe it was because he was in the underground garage, his speech obviously had an echo, but Chen Jing could hear his Mandarin clearly.

Looking at this old man with obvious Caucasian features speaking Mandarin, Chen Jing always felt a little strange, and thinking about it, people in the other world seemed to speak like this...

Chinese occupies the whole universe?
Shouldn't.

Suddenly, Chen Jing remembered that when he first came here, there was such a passage in the "Biological Leap Examination Rules"...

That seems to be the third rule.

The general content is that due to the special situation of the plane, the difference between the inner world and the outer world is too great, the examiner has arranged reasonable identities for all candidates, and has always kept the "language adaptive system" in operation...

"This is what the language adaptive system does?"

Chen Jing couldn't figure it out, but he could only think of this explanation at the moment.

"Not a little courageous..."

The old man leaned forward, and there seemed to be a kind of human gaze in the pair of black hole-like holes, and he asked Chen Jing curiously.

"Do you dare to use such a dangerous ancient relic?"

After all, the old man looked at Chen Jing again, and couldn't help being amazed.

"A weak person who is not even as good as ordinary people..."

"The situation was critical before. If you don't use it, you will die." Chen Jing couldn't help interrupting the old man's words, because he knew that the words that followed must be bad.

It was also at this time that Chen Jing realized that the Holy Grail of the Yellow King that had saved his life before was still held in his hands.

Perhaps it was because of the absorption of blood.

The hourglass-shaped cup body is more pure in color than before.

The original brass color is gradually changing to bright gold, and the pattern on the surface of the cup body seems to be changing...

Chen Jing looked at the holy grail suspiciously, and saw that the grail was still empty, and he didn't know where the absorbed blood went.

"This ancient relic is very dangerous..." the old man said, his tone full of memories, "I once saw a totem similar to it in an ancient relic on the wasteland, with the same pattern..."

Hearing what he said, Chen Jing instantly became alert.

"Which ancient ruin did you see?"

"In the depths of the wasteland, a place called the 'Yellow King's Courtyard' by the local tribe..."

Chen Jing wanted to continue listening, because he was also curious, how could the reward given to him by the examiner have such a deep connection with this world?
But it's a pity that the old man didn't intend to say too much. Of course, it may be that there is only useful information, so the old man quickly changed the topic.

"This ancient relic was given to you by your grandfather?"

"You know my grandfather...you know who I am?!"

"I have seen you before."

Hearing this, Chen Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of the conflict between the old man and grandpa that Kui Nan said...

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

The hole on the old man's face was torn apart suddenly, revealing an extremely weird smile.

"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have done it as early as when you were surrounded by those people."

"thanks……"

"You don't need to thank me." The old man smiled strangely, and he didn't care what Chen Jinghui thought because of these words, "If I wasn't afraid that your grandpa would take revenge on me after you died, I would definitely not have shot, after all..."

The old man slowly came forward and carefully looked at the handsome face in front of him.

"What I like most is the look of despair on people's faces before they die."
