Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 4 Awakening Ability
In the early morning of the next day, the school bus brought all the students who passed three subjects to the Awakened Alliance, and those who failed to pass three subjects were gradually kicked out of the school.

Survival of the fittest is the law of survival in the last days, even for students.

In the middle of the 21st century, a global virus crisis broke out, the living became the dead, and the dead became living corpses.

It was an era that plunged mankind into despair, a catastrophe that nearly wiped out human civilization.

According to history books, human beings once dominated the earth and were the supreme rulers in the biological chain, with a population of more than 70 billion.

However, after the outbreak of the virus crisis, 60.00% of humans were infected by viruses, among which more than 50.00% of humans were directly infected by viruses and bacteria, and the remaining [-]% were infected after being attacked by zombies.

This is the percentage data infected by the virus.

But if you think that the survival rate reaches 40.00%, you are very wrong.

The end of the world broke out, the social order of mankind collapsed, and everyone lived under endless fear. Many people directly led to mental breakdown and chose to commit suicide.

It is said that this data is as high as 15.00%.

Therefore, only 20.00% of the people who survived the virus outbreak in the first year, but the famine and natural disasters that followed in the second year, most of the people who survived died in that year.

The mortality rate is as high as 20.00%, or even more than 20.00%.

There are folk rumors that during the famine crisis, many people actually died at the hands of humans. At that time, food was scarce in many places, and the phenomenon of cannibalism was very common, especially eating children.

However, this kind of thing is generally not recorded in history textbooks, but can be seen in the literary classics of many literary scholars.

Zombies are infected by viruses. Although the country tried to study serum, it turned out that viruses can evolve by themselves, and the evolution rate far exceeds the research speed of scientists.

In the third year, the first awakened human being was born, and his appearance shocked the world.

After scientific research, it was found that this person had inhaled a large amount of virus and bacteria in his body. Instead of becoming a zombie, he mutated and aroused supernatural powers.

For the research on the awakened, no scientific research group in the world can draw accurate conclusions, but with the birth of each awakened, they have incredible abilities. In addition to thermal weapons, human beings have added a group of forces to fight against zombies .

In the 15th year of the end of the world, a great awakener was born. He formed an army of awakeners, wiped out countless zombies, and finally created the alliance of awakeners.

In the seven years of the last days, the Awakened Alliance has developed a strange power stone, which can stimulate the potential of the human body, sublimate the soul, and promote the awakening of people's abilities.

However, the cost of this kind of energy stone is too huge, and the success rate of research and development is very low, making the output scarce.

Therefore, the Alliance of Awakened has set up an academy to train outstanding talents to become Awakened.

The Alliance of Awakened in Nandu is just a branch, and the headquarters of the alliance is in Kyoto. When Ning Qiu was in Hengcheng, he also entered the branch of the Alliance of Awakened in Hengcheng, but the scale is far less magnificent than that of Nandu.

"Brother Qiu, what department do you want to awaken?" Pang Xiaobo, like most of his classmates, was excited, like a country bumpkin entering the city.

"You said that if I can awaken a lightning element, will there be many girls in my arms from now on?"

"Don't wake up the water system, or you'll feel like you're going to die."

Pang Xiaobo kept talking non-stop, but Ning Qiu wasn't worried, he felt that it was the same no matter which department he awakened.

The water system is not very good at the primary stage, but if it reaches an advanced level, it will still blow the sky.

"I remember that my mother seems to be an awakened person of both the water element and the healing element. As for my father, he seems to be even more powerful." Ning Qiu muttered in his heart.

The teacher leading the team brought the students into a spacious hall, where there were already staff members of the Alliance of Awakened waiting.

The steps of awakening are very simple. There is a glass mechanical container with a diameter of three meters and a height of three meters in the main hall. The container is connected to various instruments and a colorful power stone.

All the students have to do is to enter the container, and then relax. If a vision appears in the end, it means that the awakening is successful.

"The first classmate, Zhao Mei."

The team leader teacher read out the name of the first person to be awakened, and said a few words that needed attention.

After entering the container, the girl named Zhao Mei took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes.

About three seconds later, a little bit of light flickered on the energy stone, and blue light appeared around Zhao Mei's body, gradually shimmering.

"Water system, it's water system." A classmate immediately shouted out.

After the power awakening was over, Zhao Mei's face was a bit sad, and the team leader teacher said a few words of encouragement, and then asked the next student to prepare.

"Liao Yu, fire element."

Liao Yu came out of the container, with a look of excitement on his face.

Among the five major departments of supernatural powers, the thunder department is the most difficult to awaken, followed by the fire department. These two departments are quite explosive abilities at the beginning level.

The awakening probability of the other three elements is relatively average, but the water element is not very aggressive at the initial stage. Facing a low-level zombie, it takes a lot of effort to one-on-one.

"The next one... the wood department."

"The next one... the water system."

……

There are more than 400 awakened students, and more than half of them only passed the three exams.

The Apocalypse Academy has regulations that only those who pass six subjects can stay in the academy and be promoted to the senior year.As for those who passed the three subjects and successfully awakened their abilities, there are generally two places to go.

One is to join the military, because the military also has awakened troops to serve the country as soon as possible.

The second is to join a certain mercenary group and make money with your own abilities. If you do well, it is no problem to become rich.Some people can even use this to improve their abilities and become a very powerful person.

Only students who have successfully graduated from the academy can join the Awakened Alliance. They will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and can get a good living allowance from the alliance every month.

"Next, Pang Xiaobo."

When the team leader teacher read his name, his body shook suddenly, and he strode over quickly.

After Pang Xiaobo entered the container, it didn't take long for a crimson glow to appear.

"Fire element."

The leader teacher patted him on the shoulder and told him that as long as he worked harder, he would become a great awakened person in the future.

"Fatty, it's amazing." Ning Qiu punched him in the chest, and was also happy for him in his heart.

At this time, there was a cold snort in his ear.

"Don't think that awakening the fire element is a great thing. In addition to aptitude, you also need to look at... this." Han Chaofeng stood not far away and rubbed his fingers.

Zhou Fu was standing beside him. She glanced at Ning Qiu with surprise in her eyes. She never expected to see him here.

Han Chaofeng already knew about the previous relationship between Ning Qiu and Zhou Fu, and was proud of his feat of seizing love. At this time, he looked at Ning Qiu with disdain, with a look of pride on his face.

"Awakened people want to improve their abilities. Apart from self-cultivation, they also need to absorb a large number of corpse cores. The price of such things as corpse cores should not be affordable for poor ghosts like you." Han Chaofeng hugged She hugged Zhou Fu's waist and stroked it without any scruples.

Pang Xiaobo felt angry, he was quite straightforward, and when he was about to curse, he heard Ning Qiu say: "No matter how much you provoke me, I will not sell you the chrysanthemum."

"Pfft!" Hearing this, Pang Xiaobo sprayed a mouthful of saliva directly on the back of the head of the girl in front, causing him to apologize quickly.

"Brother Qiu, can you build up some virtue with your mouth, please don't tease me? It caused me to be scolded."

Zhou Fu's face turned red when she heard this. Isn't this just another way of scolding her for selling herself for glory?

I felt sorry for him before, but now I am full of resentment, and I gritted my teeth at Ning Qiu: "Do you think you are still the old master? Open your eyes and see, this is Nandu, don't deceive yourself."

Ning Qiu shrugged and said, "I never thought of myself as a young master, but you always thought of yourself as a young lady."

"Pfft!... Oh, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it... Don't, ah, it hurts." The girl in front of Pang Xiaobo was completely mad, and no matter what the place was, she just scratched the fat man for a while. .

Zhou Fu was so angry that her neck was red. Seeing this, Han Chaofeng was about to go up and teach Ning Qiu a lesson, but he heard the team leader call his name.

"Boy, let's wait and see, you will feel better in the future."
