In the registration records of the shelter, the soldier with the highest strength is a soldier from the Special Investigation Department, with a strength of 15.
Most ordinary people are only between 8 and 9, and reaching 10 is considered a passing line.
Due to the occurrence of micro scale disasters, people have become smaller, resulting in a smaller power gap between people than before. Therefore, compared to the general passing line, the person with the strongest strength only has 0.5 times more strength. Of course, this 0.5 times difference can indeed form a crushing force, because after all, after humans shrink, their body weight is also lighter.
And the last time Tom and Zhao Xin went to Zhenhua Machinery Factory, they did a test and had a power of 20.
Everyone who knew about this, except Zhao Xin, Yuan Feipeng, and Yang Caishan, died at the machinery factory.
Because Tom joined the psychic office, Zhao Xin must have told the instructors about Tom's strength situation, so it was obvious that he knew about it on the 23rd.
Let Tom face Cretos' provocation directly, naturally hoping to teach these crooked mouthed people who speak ill of Shen Jiayi a lesson.
So far, Tom and Shen Jiayi have said no more than thirty words in total, and they have been sarcastically accusing him of relying on masculinity to rise to power, saying that having no temper is fake, but he is not naturally fond of competition.
Now that he spoke on the 23rd, he had no reason to refuse.
Since the 23rd is planning to let Tom showcase his strength in order to shatter some of the recent rumors that Shen Jiayi is acting recklessly, it is natural for Tom to have a bad luck match in public, and let them see if Shen Jiayi's promotion of Tom is for personal reasons, and whether Tom is worthy of Shen Jiayi's promotion.
So, with the consent of General Leader No. 17, all the soldiers, except for the person in charge of guarding, gathered around to watch Tom and Cretos face off.
In the eyes of many people, Tom is just a little transparent, relying on his sudden acquisition of abilities to gain Shen Jiayi's favor. Not only did he gain status, but he also gave him the latest awakening armor, the Jade Rabbit Type 3 Type 1 prototype armor.
In Liang Guodong's view, if his younger brother wore the Jade Rabbit Type III armor, he would definitely do better than Tom.
So even though Tom killed the mutated cockroach, they still felt that Tom was just relying on his identity as an awakener and the capital of advanced awakener armor.
Now that Tom is going to compete with the towering Kratos, they naturally need to broaden their horizons and see if Tom, as a small figure, is qualified to enjoy the current honor after losing his identity as an Awakened One.
The comparison between the two sides is close combat, and Kratos himself is a retired soldier in the special forces, who has a good way of catching and fighting. Tom didn't even learn basic combat knowledge, and from childhood to adulthood, fights were always self-taught. When the two sides started fighting, he took two punches and then used 20 points of force to break open the following blackmail and widen the distance.
As soon as these two sides engaged in a fight, they knew if there was any, and this time, Kratos's face turned black first. Of course, the people around him couldn't see his face turning black.
Skills, experience, and physical fitness determine a person's combat effectiveness, but when the gap in physical fitness is widened to a certain extent, the role of skills and experience becomes much smaller.
At this point, Kratos regretted being encouraged by Angus to serve as a stepping stone for Tom, but in the world of mercenaries, weakness is the original sin, and cowardice is the unforgivable original sin. He, who has studied Chinese and knows many idioms, only then truly realized the meaning of riding a tiger is difficult to get off.
There was no way, Kratos could only grit his scalp and wrap it around him, hoping to use various joint clamping techniques to suppress Tom's exertion.
However, the tall and burly Kratos mostly relies on his own strength to fight, and he is not very good at this type of technical attack, at least compared to Angus.
Now, relying on his rich fighting experience, he finally fought for a few rounds and successfully grabbed Tom's neck from behind, thinking of using his arm strength to knock him unconscious. As a result, Tom exerted all his strength and forcefully pulled his arm apart, even with too much force, causing his arm to be injured.
The torn muscle had just spread in Kratos's brain when Tom grabbed him and threw him to the ground.
A fierce punch hit Cretos in the ear, and the powerful force made him immediately realize the terror.
If this punch hits his head, with the current bone density of the little person, it is estimated that it will really crack directly.
"Do you still want to fight?"
Tom looked down at him lying on the ground, their faces very close together, so close that he felt a sense of fear towards this Eastern face.
"I... I admit defeat!" Cretos murmured, but the 23rd referee next to him sternly asked again, "What are you saying?"
Kratos was both shy and resentful. On the 23rd, he had to repeat it again, which he couldn't bear. So he raised his voice a little more and said, "I admit defeat."
On the 23rd, waving his hands, he loudly declared, "Kratos has given up!"
Tom immediately released his grip and stood up, turning around to look around, especially on the side of the foreign mercenary group. His eyes were full of pride, as if asking, "Who else is there?"
The laughter erupted in the crowd, and Kratos crouched on the ground in anger. He saw Tom with his back to him, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger from his leggings, piercing Tom's waist at lightning speed.
The kidneys are a very fragile and deadly area for humans, and once severely impacted, they can lead to paralysis.
Kratos made a silent surprise attack, and although the 23rd, which was still loudly announced, was discovered, it was too late to give a warning.
However, the hand that stabbed the dagger was caught by Tom turning around at a strange speed, as if he had an eye on the back of his head, and he had already noticed his surprise attack.
With a crisp sound, his wrist was broken, and before Kratos could cry out in pain, another fist hit his face. In the excruciating pain, Kratos saw Tom quickly fly forward, and then he fainted in darkness.
The screams of surprise echoed in the crowd, and then Zhao Xin and others quickly cursed, cursing Kratos for being despicable and shameless, even though they admitted defeat, they still wanted to launch a surprise attack.
Tom looked coldly at Cretos, who had been knocked over by his punch more than thirty centimeters away and was still alive and dead after crushing two onlookers. Then, the dagger of the surprise attack was raised high and loudly asked the people around, "Do anyone else want to come?"
With his personality, he wouldn't actually make such a provocative move, but just now Kratos did sneak attack as he expected, which made him angry and excited. This strong black man, who was two meters tall before, was punched by him Oh, it's like ants.
The deputy captain of the foreign mercenary regiment is a white man named Harris, whose figure is not as prominent as Kratos, but his eyes are extremely sharp. With every move and gesture, it can be vaguely seen that his body can burst out with powerful force at any time.
On the other hand, Angus appeared very unwilling, "Did he cheat? With the power of Kratos 13.6, how could he be easily defeated by him? Did he use a power?"
Zhao Xin, who was standing beside him, was displeased and suddenly stood up loudly, saying, "Hmph, Tom has 20 powers and can easily crush him without using any special abilities to strengthen him. Cheating? Does this require cheating?"
Everyone was in an uproar, especially the foreign mercenary group. They were quite familiar with the digitalization of physical fitness created by the shelter and had a clear concept of strength. Unexpectedly, Tom exceeded the highest record held by the shelter by so many.
Liang Guodong, who was also from the supernatural team, became suspicious and said, "Hmph, I heard that a few days ago I caught a person who mutated because he ate crystals. Mutants don't need crystals to increase their strength. Isn't Tom also a mutated person? Mutants also eat human flesh!"
Zhao Xin was immediately annoyed. Everyone was from the Eighth Courtyard. What did you mean by burying yourself? He immediately cursed at Liang Guodong, "What are you talking nonsense about? Have you ever seen Tom eat people? What do you think mutated people look like? You haven't seen them before. When you were on a mission with us, a mutated person scared you so much that you almost wet your pants. Did you see Tom have that zombie like appearance?"
"Perhaps his mutated appearance can also be covered up," Liang Guodong snorted coldly. "Otherwise, how could such a thin and small body have such strong power? This must be a monster. I suggest grabbing him and thoroughly examining him."
"Enough!" The 17th stood up and coldly scanned the surroundings. "The farce has come to an end, let's go back and do our own things now."
Since the general leader spoke, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and only Kratos was still lying on the ground, with no one to care about him.
At this moment, Tom stood in the same place with indifference. Zhao Xin comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Ange. These are just the barking of the weak. Liang Guodong is usually a fool and insists on playing with his younger brother. However, his younger brother hung up and couldn't accept it. Instead, he resented you. You should treat him like a dog."
Tom didn't move, he went to take a picture of Tom and said, "Ango..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tom suddenly turned around and grabbed his arm. His cold gaze startled him, "Ang... what's wrong with you?"
Tom was stunned for a moment, his sharp and cold eyes instantly faded. He sighed and said wearily, "I'm sorry... I'm a bit confused."
"It's okay... I..." Before Zhao Xin could finish speaking, Tom left him feeling a bit confused. He turned around and looked at his four teammates looking at him with a bewildered expression. Then, pretending to be relaxed, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tom just shot a big guy and was slandered by those fools. He's not in a good mood. Let's not bother him, let's go, pack up our things."
Due to the special permission on the 17th, Tom didn't need to participate in collecting supplies, so he found a corner and sat up alone.
He felt that he could have a power of 20, beyond everyone's range, probably because he had also mutated, but this mutation... For some reason, he did not indulge in human flesh like Yue Zhenghui, nor did he lose his rationality. He was just a little worried about whether he could make it to the day he arrived at the hotel and found clues about his sister.
