Divergence and Betting

"I heard Ajie say you invited Tom to dinner, so I ran over. It seems that you haven't eaten enough."

Cheng Jie glared at her and snorted coldly, "The man your sister-in-law is interested in, I didn't eat it. Are you relieved, Sister Afeng?"

The woman sitting was Yue Shanshan's sister-in-law, Yue Zhenbang's wife Pan Rufeng. With a smile, she stood up and walked over to embrace Cheng Jie's waist, taking her to sit down in front of the sofa.

"Our Shanshan is quite imposing. You've already been in this battle, and she doesn't feel uneasy guarding that girl. Either she's very reassured about the boy, or... maybe she doesn't mind, especially if it's you. And I think that boy is quite dull and slow about relationships between men and women. Maybe he's still a beginner, so it's good for you to adjust him."

"Go, go, go, go, I sound like the mother of an ancient brothel, like Sang." Cheng Jie was somewhat dissatisfied with her best friend's teasing, but still leaned back on the spacious sofa and sighed, "This kid has a kind of calming magic. As we chatted, we were unconsciously attracted by what he said. Now I can say that I am very certain that his character is very good. Your sister-in-law, as well as 796 people here, can trust him."

Pan Rufeng nodded and said, "Changfeng and his team have been guarding the power station, and they have worked hard for them. With the technology he provided, our power upgrade has been very effective, and the Endeavour will soon start operating."

Speaking of Cheng Changfeng, Cheng Jie regained her energy and had a long conversation with Pan Rufeng. After a while, she looked at the time on the wall and finally stopped talking.

"That's something you need to worry about, and I..." Cheng Jie stood up, "I have to go take care of his precious sister. If there's another mistake, that kid might go crazy."

Then Cheng Jie returned to the room where Luo Xuan was, and Tom was guarding her. Cheng Jie checked Luo Xuan's body and found that there was still no change in the situation. She could only comfort him, "No change, that's the best change."

A day passed like this, and Tom also stayed in this room for over a day. During this time, Cheng Jie came and went, and when he left, he arranged for another doctor to accompany him and monitor Luo Xuan's situation at any time.

In order to avoid accidents, Tom did not hold on forcefully. Instead, he would squint and rest every few hours to ensure that he maintained sufficient energy. For some reason, he always felt that the mutated rabbit had come a bit strange, as if something bad was about to happen.

He told Yue Shanshan about this speculation, and Yue Shanshan took it very seriously. She immediately ran to mention it to her brother. After much thought, Yue Zhenbang also thought it was better to be cautious, so he raised the alert level of the Endeavour and sent out all the reconnaissance soldiers, asking them to immediately signal for any abnormalities.

At 22:56 the night after Luo Xuan implanted the crystal seed, the Endeavour sounded its alarm.

A messenger hurriedly came to inform Tom to prepare for the bridge command room as soon as possible, while an Awakener squad leader would lead four experienced soldiers to guard Luo Xuan on his behalf.

The soldiers who took over from him quickly arrived, and Tom sealed off the room. Apart from him, Cheng Jie, and Yue Zhenbang, no fourth person could open this door, even if it was made of metal.

Tom rushed to the bridge and found that the atmosphere inside was extremely tense. Yue Zhenbang briefly told him about the threat of the discovery.

A wolf with a body length of about 132 centimeters and a shoulder height of 82 centimeters is running towards the direction of the Endeavour, which was an urgent message sent back half a minute ago. According to its running speed, it will arrive at the Endeavour no later than 11 minutes later.

Yue Zhenbang has urgently ordered all personnel outside who are unable to return within 6 minutes to seek shelter nearby and await further instructions from the Endeavour. The rest of the people returned to the Endeavour at the fastest speed, and the Endeavour entered full closed mode.

Can a big wolf break through when facing a high-speed train?

It was almost impossible in the past, even the glass windows were tempered, and it was impossible for an adult wolf to break them.

But in the current context of micro scale disasters, it is difficult to say. After all, this wolf, like the gray rabbit, has a clear goal. Even if it weren't for guidance, Yue Shanshan wouldn't believe it. It is highly likely to be mutated, with mutated insects having stronger bodies and even more unique abilities. And a wolf that may weigh over forty kilograms, once mutated, no one can guarantee that its mutated ability cannot tear open the iron wall of the Endeavour.

The Endeavour has developed various attack response plans, including situations where powerful mutated creatures tear open the body of the Endeavour.

A awakened person who can charge crystals has arrived at Platform 2 Square with a level 3 yellow energy storage crystal. The iron walls there are the strongest, and his task is to absorb a large amount of energy from the energy storage crystals after the attack begins, amplifying the crystal source radiation emitted by his human flesh, and striving to attract mutated creatures here.

And the large army will also gather around it, striving to fight it to the death.

Tom is skeptical about this and hopes that in addition to the ambush force, a portion of the mobile forces will also be distributed in key locations to ensure timely support for the nearest location.

Yue Zhenbang rejected his proposal, believing that in the face of such a wolf, we should concentrate our forces and disperse them. Once it breaks through, it will be too late for the mobile forces to come back.

As a result, Mr. Wang came forward to support Tom's proposal, stating that he couldn't gamble on it all. Since the wolf could be guided, no one could guarantee that it wouldn't ignore the bait and choose other positions to break through.

Once such a situation occurs, it will be a catastrophic disaster for the Endeavour.

With a reserve mobile unit, they may die, but they can make the most of the terrain advantage to hold down the wolves and buy time for the upcoming troops.

Yue Zhenbang changed his mind in just two seconds and immediately proposed a new deployment plan, which was quickly conveyed to every corner of the Endeavour through the internal broadcasting system.

Each soldier has their own unit number for a long time, and according to orders, they can quickly reach their rightful position, which is enough to show that the training of the Endeavour is very well done on a daily basis.

The X tank also quickly started up and was deployed to the ambush site. Tom, as the commander, should have gone, but he suggested letting others take command, and he acted as a member of the mobile unit.

His combat power is the highest and his speed is also the fastest. In the event of an accident, he can rush to the destination at the fastest speed. Secondly, since this plan was proposed by him, he has no reason to hide in the place with the most troops and relatively safer, and wait for others to sacrifice.

Yue Shanshan originally wanted to join the mobile unit, but was refuted by Tom and others, so she had to hold her mouth and rush to join the X tank.

In just 5 minutes, the observation post on the roof of the Endeavour spotted the trail of a wolf in the distance, and it had already arrived outside.

After Tom put on his power armor, he immediately went to his responsible area and led a team of 16 to defend a section of the vehicle.

"Warning, the wolf has entered the base and is expected to arrive on the Endeavour in one minute. All personnel should be prepared and non combatants should immediately go to the shelter area."

"Warning, the wolf is only 20 seconds away from the Endeavour, everyone is best prepared for battle."

At this moment, everyone in the car is holding their breath and waiting for the arrival of the wolf, waiting for another challenge from fate.

"Dong!" A muffled sound echoed from the nearby car body, and the car radio quickly broadcasted: "The wolf has attacked the outer wall of Area 5, so the mobile unit is ready for support!"

The outer wall of Zone 5 is where they set their ambush, and it seems that this wolf cannot resist the temptation of the powerful human crystal radiation and attacked there.

The sound of a thud kept ringing, and the car radio immediately issued a new command: "There is a serious depression on the outer wall of Area 5, confirming that this is a mutated wolf. It may break through the iron wall at any time and enter. All mobile units, quickly rush to Area 5 to participate in defensive combat! Repeat..."

My teammates looked at Tom together, and the more he did, the more anxious Tom became. "No, stay still, broadcast to me!"

A soldier handed him a broadcast microphone and quickly shouted, "Bridge, please do not withdraw the mobile unit. The firepower in Area 5 is enough to withstand the attack of the mutant wolf for a period of time. We must be wary of it changing direction."

"Losses must be avoided as much as possible. It has been confirmed that this wolf has attacked Area 5. All mobile units should rush to provide support immediately! Those who do not follow orders will be dealt with by military law!"

The soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and under the leadership of the deputy captain, they quickly rushed towards Area 5.

Tom sighed, luckily he remembered the deployment plan of the Endeavour, and as no one came, he went on his own.

"Brother, you don't believe Tom! If you don't go, I'll go!"

On the radio, this is the angry voice of Yue Shanshan.

Tom sighed and didn't respond. Instead, Yue Zhenbang's angry voice came from the bridge: "Yue Shanshan, return to your position!"

The sound of thumping is still being transmitted inside the car, and everyone is even more worried about the upcoming attack. They no longer have the energy to manage Yue Shanshan's departure, including Yue Zhenbang.

"Stop it!" someone shouted excitedly on the radio, "The mutant wolf has run away, it has given up!"

No!

Tom gritted his teeth, and as expected, things were heading towards a worse direction,

"Quickly disperse the mobile troops!" Yue Shanshan's anxious shout came from the broadcast, but everyone felt relieved and had no intention of moving again.

"Not good! Zone 2... Zone 2 has been breached. This is metal shaping, how could it be? With such a thick iron wall, how could metal shaping break through such a thick iron wall?"

In Zone 2, Tom is currently near Zone 3 and immediately runs towards Zone 2.

With a loud bang, the earth shook and the mountains shook. A heavy sound came from afar, and Tom smelled a strong odor.

Quickly, a tall gray figure appeared in the distance. In a few seconds, the gray wolf came to Tom's side and then stopped.

"Dare to block here alone, I know who you are," a hoarse voice came from the back of the mutated gray wolf. "Tom, take off your helmet."

Tom took off his helmet, and the gray wolf lowered its head and leaned in front of him. Two people emerged from above.

One was the mutated person possessed by the mutated green crab that Tom had seen before at the bus stop, and the other was vaguely distinguishable from his almost twisted face.

"Zhao Xifeng, I knew you were still alive!"
