Reunion of Old Friends"

"I must be stronger and never be carried around again."

This is the first thing Tom thinks after waking up.

Within half a month, being picked up and thrown down like a toy by someone twice in a row really made him very unhappy.

The second thing is "who am I", "where am I", and "what am I going to do next?"

Looking around, he found himself locked in a house. From the perspective of a small person, the house was just like usual, not the height of over three meters that had shrunk before. Now it looks around 13 centimeters.

This gave him an illusion, as if he was dreaming that he had not become smaller. Or perhaps he has already been taken back to the shelter of the Haiwei Mini Industry, otherwise he cannot explain why this house is so suitable for his size and height.

He tried his fist and hit the wall in pain. It seemed like he had returned to his previous state of strength enhancement, around 9 o'clock. But doesn't he have 20 points of power? How can the effect of the game not be as high as before?

Tom's first reaction was to be washed away.

Then he tested his reaction speed and felt the pain by hitting the wall. The speed has also returned to the level of around 6 o'clock. Based on the average value of 7 points in the shelter, I am still below the average line. It is gratifying that his body's resistance to impact remains the same as before the mutation, with a conservative estimate of 14 points. It can't be faster or stronger, but at least it's still very resistant to beating.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, the only thing he remembered was on the back of the mutated sparrow. He was picked up like a chicken by the man from the Tianxuan Society and thrown down like that.

Since he is currently unable to get out of trouble, he can only wait and see how it changes. Anyway, with his current abilities, he cannot do anything.

The Awakened Watch he was wearing had already been taken away, but it was this clothing that seemed uninterested to the prisoner, which made him even more speculate that it was in the cell of the shelter of the Hemingway Mini Industry.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound coming from the house without even a door. The wall against which Tom was leaning suddenly shrank and turned into a door.

He immediately remembered the young master named Zhou Zhengping, who had the ability to control the glass at will, among the survivors rescued at the Jinrui Hotel. Named by the R&D department's special ability department as: Glass Forming, it is a relatively small application of special abilities.

Now it seems that the awakened one who opens the door should have abilities such as "cement walls" or rock shaping.

After the door opened, a tall person came in. The flames outside were incredibly bright, but they were shining from behind. Tom, who was facing against the light, couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he could smell a strong pungent smell, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Let's go." The voice of the newcomer was hoarse and rough, even with the sound of a broken gong.

Tom also wanted to figure out where he was now, so he followed the other person's instructions and walked out.

As soon as he left, he was very surprised.

This is a large courtyard with a bonfire in the middle, surrounded by dozens of people. There was also a circle of torches around him, as if he had arrived at a primitive tribe.

He turned around and finally saw the person who had just entered through the flames. I saw that his face was covered in scars... Tom shook his head and said the scars were a bit too severe. It should be said to be something like an abscess, and his whole face was as if it had been disfigured, just like the dead attendant in the movie.

The clothes fit very well, but this style is similar to my voice and a bit rough.

"What are you looking at?" The pustule punched Tom angrily.

Tom saw the punch clearly, but his physical reaction couldn't keep up, neither avoiding nor resisting it. He was punched hard in the chest, causing him to stumble and retreat. At least the body's resistance to impact is still strong, and this punch is not considered painful.

"Eat him, eat him!" The crowd beside the fire erupted into loud cheers.

Tom looked around, and everyone's face and exposed skin were covered in pus, as if they had arrived at the hospital.

"Who are you?" Tom clenched his fists, and the situation here was extremely eerie.

"Eating, eating!"

"Eat it all up, gnaw it all up!"

"His little hook is mine, you're not allowed to grab it!"

Those people crowded around, each emitting a pungent stench that made Tom feel dizzy and disoriented.

"Get lost!" A shout calmed everyone down, and the crowd respectfully parted. A short person walked in, "Tom, hahaha, you finally woke up."

Tom saw some familiar contours through his face, which was also covered in pus, and said, "Are you... are you... Zhang Meng?"

"Hahaha, I can't believe it, Tom. You still remember me, it's really unbelievable." The short man laughed wildly, causing everyone around him to become restless and shout in response.

Tom woke up from the miniature disaster and then searched for companions in his rented building, unexpectedly finding a group of people. At that time, they were planning to parachute down from the rooftop, but the small man who had tied the rope first suddenly pushed his mount gecko biscuit downstairs and attempted to seize a girl named Zhang Jiaqi. As a result, the girl vowed to die and jumped off the railing, landing on her head and dying.

That little guy is exactly the Zhang Meng in front of him.

It was precisely this Zhang Meng who startled the ant swarm fighting on the rooftop before leaving, which led to Tom and other survivors being captured by the ants. In order to escape from the ant nest, Zhang Jiaqi's boyfriend Luo Jun voluntarily lit a big fire in the back and asked Tom to avenge his girlfriend before he died.

At that time, Tom swore that he would definitely kill Zhang Meng, but he never found Zhang Meng's whereabouts afterwards. Unexpectedly, almost a year after the micro disaster, he was reunited with the culprit who almost wiped out the entire team in this situation.

"Zhang Meng... Zhang Meng... I'm going to kill you... Ah..." Tom just roared out when he was heavily punched by the big guy just now. This was not particularly painful, but then the stormy punches hit Tom repeatedly, making it impossible for him to resist.

"Alright, let go of him." Zhang Meng watched the big man fight for a while before stopping. The tall man was very obedient and immediately stopped, but still stood on the side, carefully and vigilantly staring at him.

Zhang Meng grabbed Tom's hair and pulled his head up: "Kill me? Hahaha, do you have that ability now? Without crystal, you can't even beat an ant, but kill me? Do you know how powerful I am now? Watch, open your dog's eyes."

As he spoke, he abandoned Tom and walked towards the campfire that had been cleared by the crowd. The tall man grabbed Tom and pressed his head, allowing him to see Zhang Meng's performance.

But seeing another tall man emerge from the crowd, he roared and smashed his hands onto the ground, lifting a large block of mud and throwing it towards Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng raised his hand high with one hand, and his palm unexpectedly emitted sparks. Then he quickly ignited flames and shook his hand, causing a half sized fireball to collide with a large mud block in the air. The mud was quickly ignited, still shedding its weight and flying towards Zhang Meng. Just as soon as the burning mud touched Zhang Meng, he immediately hovered in the air and was pushed back by him, hitting the tall man who had just lifted the mud.

The tall man quickly caught fire all over his body, running around with a mournful shout. He took a few steps and fell to the ground, but the flames continued to burn. But Zhang Meng snapped his fingers, and the flames quickly extinguished, leaving behind a charred human body, unaware of whether it was alive or dead.

"Hahaha, did you see that? Tom? Aren't you claiming to be the savior? You're amazing, thinking that having a gecko as a mount can make you stand out, but I can use superpowers without crystals. Not only me, but everyone here... they don't need crystals to have superpowers. Do you still think you're amazing?"

Tom finally realized why these pungent smells were a bit familiar to them. When he was in the same room as the mutant Yue Zhenghui in the shelter, Yue Zhenghui had a faint smell of this. It's like a mixture of decay and the foul smell of mice.

"Have you all... eaten crystals?" Tom asked tentatively.

"Will eating it turn into a zombie? Who wouldn't know there's a risk. But only the chosen ones can survive the mutation period and become true chosen ones. Everyone here is a chosen one, and they haven't become zombies. Instead, they have retained their rationality and possessed superpowers."

Zhang Meng's excited introduction excited everyone in the room, and they all raised their hands and shouted, "The chosen one, I am the chosen one. The heavens have chosen me to become the chosen one."

Tom's heart skipped a beat as he thought it was rare for him to retain his mind even after the mutation. The Darwin Order should have had technical support for this effect, and I should have had a chance not to lose my sanity. Unexpectedly, there are at least thirty people here, but none of them have turned into zombies. It seems that the cost is that their appearance really looks a bit like zombies.

"I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!" A person rushed out from behind the crowd, and then Tom felt a flash of light rushing towards him. The tall man next to him quickly grabbed a needle shining with metal, but he grabbed it.

The needle is only a few millimeters away from Tom's head. If it weren't for the tall man grabbing it, he might have just pierced his head.

"Catch him!" Zhang Meng was furious and someone interrupted his performance, which made him very angry.

Several mutated individuals rushed forward and grabbed a man who had just run out. One of them even held down his forehead, causing him to struggle and unable to unleash his abilities.

"Boss, he took away my woman's heart and killed my woman again. You want me to kill him."

Zhang Meng angrily walked up and kicked the captured man in the abdomen, then his palm caught fire and pressed against his face. He struggled in pain, and the smell of burnt meat filled the air. "Whether to kill him or not, when will it be your turn to decide? Don't think your superpowers are useful, I will make you cut in line."

"I'm sorry... boss, please spare me. I know I was wrong."

At this moment, another man ran out next to him and quickly knelt on the ground. "Boss, he was also blinded by hatred and lost his sanity. He must have remembered your lesson, please spare him. Your steel fortress is halfway completed, kill him, and finding someone else will also delay the progress."

Tom recognized the kneeling man by the firelight, who was Yu Liangjun who had disappeared from the subway station in Jiangxia Village.

He remembered that Yu Liangjun had also mutated at the time, but he still held onto his rationality and didn't bite his girlfriend Lu Qiuman. In the end, he desperately dragged another crazy person and let Tom take Lu Qiuman away.

Since Yu Liangjun is here, the identity of the person who just took action against Tom and is now being punished by Zhang Meng is very clear.

Zhao Xifeng, the man who turned into a zombie and lost his sanity, bit and ate his girlfriend Feng Hanyun's flesh.
