Zhou Lin - Chapter 216 Recruitment (5)

The name Dead Sea was given by EAS.

When they named this ability, Bard was already a fierce-level ability user. Before that, Bard’s ability had no name.

At paper level, this ability can only increase the salt content in the body of an individual (human or larger animal) by a small amount out of thin air, and slightly reverse the influence of gravity on this individual.

Putting it into the actual situation, the victim will feel a little dry in the mouth and a little light in the body.

At first glance… this is undoubtedly a very useless ability, so useless that most people would think there is no value in exercising it.

But Bud Levins is not most people.

Bud is a man with a very strong heart. If you want to sum up his character and even his life, it would be two sentences: make_sense and do_everything_he_can.

Bud’s background was very bad. In four words, he was poor and ugly.

His appearance is very ugly, and he belongs to the type who has difficulty making friends in school, and encounters obstacles everywhere when he sets out to find a job in society.

His family background is also very poor, so poor that it is difficult to guarantee even basic dignity.

However, Bud never complained about his background, nor did he criticize the world’s tendency to judge others… because he understood from an early age that blaming others would not change the status quo or solve the problem, it would only make your mentality worse. Oops, it affects your behavior.

This world is based on appearance. It has been this way since ancient times. This is the nature that is integrated into everyone’s bones. It is meaningless to deny this.

If someone who is good-looking criticizes this, it seems hypocritical; if someone who is ugly criticizes this, it is because the butt determines the head and is unconvincing.

Even if you can win an argument, it will only serve to vent your dissatisfaction and will not change the actual situation.

Therefore, Bud didn’t do that at all. In his opinion, instead of wasting time and energy on complaining and venting, it would be better to use it to do something practical.

The same two sentences: make_sense and do_everything_he_can.

Bud believes that something must be logical and can change the status quo before it is worth doing. Only on this basis is it necessary to work hard.

If he decides that something can only make him feel better emotionally, but will not help his situation in the real world, and may even make things worse, then he will never do it.

To sum up, when Bud became an adult, faced with the current situation that he was ugly, the solution he implemented was to exercise his body, train his temperament, and change his appearance… Finally, after saving a sum of money, he immediately I went to have a plastic surgery.

It sounds a bit too real, but not everyone can make up their mind to accomplish it.

In the same way, in order to get rid of poverty, Bud also worked harder than others in studying and working… Although he also knew very well that this kind of effort may not bring equal rewards, but at least it would give him a chance to succeed. get bigger.

Bud is not the kind of person who would struggle with fairness. Those people, that is, the vast majority of people in the world, we generally have this kind of thinking-even though we have worked hard, we are still far behind. However, the second generation who are born with a good family background and possess more resources can easily succeed as long as they rest on the property of their parents or even their grandparents to eat, drink and have fun. And I have put in a lot of effort, but I can barely make ends meet and live a very hard life.

This idea is not wrong, because it is an actual phenomenon; although not all the second generation X conform to the common people’s stereotype of playboys, there are indeed many who do.

Such a comparison will undoubtedly make people dissatisfied and even resentful, and will make people feel that their efforts are worthless and meaningless.

Looking at it from another angle, innate talent, innate beauty… just like innate wealth or status, will make us have similar feelings at a certain time and place.

However… do we really need to have any negative emotions due to this unfairness?

Another example: the clean water you waste when you turn on the faucet, the leftover food you throw away after eating takeaway, can never be sent to the hands of people who cannot take a bath or eat due to war and famine… This is also a fact.

But should you feel guilty for these lifestyle habits you take for granted?

Have you ever thought that if you show these behaviors to those who are hungry, they may also become dissatisfied and resentful towards you?

But there was no such string in Bud’s mind.

He is the one who can’t eat or take a shower, but he doesn’t feel any emotion when he sees those who waste water and food.

His first reaction will be: That has nothing to do with him, because what those people waste will never fall into his hands. He does not expect others to improve his life. He only thinks about what he can do. to change the status quo.

make_sense.

do_everything_he_can.

Therefore, when he discovered that he had a tasteless ability, he was not frustrated at all.

What he can do is accept this, regard this ability as his own unique resource, and research and develop it to the extreme.

Time flies, year after year… Putting aside his status as a capable person, Bard, as an ordinary person, slowly climbed from a grassroots civil servant with no supporter to a middle-level civilian position in the federal army.

Of course, that year, he was already sixty-one years old, and there were only a few years left before retirement (the retirement age for men in some professions during the federal era had been raised to 65).

Until the year of Bud’s retirement, no one even his closest colleagues, his wife and children knew that he was still a powerful person.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed. At the age of seventy-five, Bard is still persevering and quietly training his abilities, and has successfully trained them to the ferocious level…

Finally, his efforts bore fruit at this moment, and his abilities underwent a qualitative change when he reached the ferocious level.

Because his ability was achieved after more than half a century of continuous training and accumulation, his understanding and use of energy are also very solid. Compared with other ability users of the same level, he has never broken through the vicious level bottleneck. , the time required to reach the peak of the ferocious level is much shorter.

Bard mastered his new level of power in almost a month, stopped aging at the cellular level, and began to undergo reverse growth in appearance.

That year, he re-employed in the Federation as an ability user and was directly listed as a candidate for a guard officer after taking the EAS test.

Bud is not a genius. If there is anything outstanding about him, it is his character and mentality.

He is almost the limit of ordinary people’s efforts – no matter what position he is in, he takes all objective unfairness for granted, and then uses his own time and energy cost as a resource superior to others, reasonable and at the same time unreasonable. Invest sparingly to make yourself better and stronger.

He is now a mad-level ability user, and is the oldest, highest-status, and most unfathomable of the seven surviving guards.

And according to his two principles of dealing with things, it is also natural to deal with the surrender Thapae.

…………

What are you doing? Shimura looked at Tappe floating in the air. He was filled with surprise and doubt for a moment, and quickly asked Bader.

Although Shimura is a hawk and Tape is a dove, under the current situation, it seems too much for the guard officers to kill each other.

Didn’t you hear that just now? Not only did he make it clear that he wanted to surrender to the other party, but he also had the tendency to incite rebellion against others. Bard responded in a very calm tone. At the same time, Shi Wei in his hand did not Stopping was as easy as crushing the stones at your feet.

He’s just asking for your opinion… Pang Haoye couldn’t stand it anymore. Although he didn’t have a close relationship with these people, Bud’s way of easily attacking his colleagues was really offensive to him. Not very particular.

Do I have to answer his question first, and then wait for him to become defensive or even murderous towards me… before I take action? Bard asked, Why should I take the risk of him attacking me first? Doing that kind of thing? Just so that you can tell yourself with peace of mind afterwards… that he did it first? He paused, If I need to meet such a condition every time I kill someone, then let’s not talk about whether I can still do it. I’m afraid my life has been handed over to me as a guard officer.”

What he said was nothing more than make_sense…

Pang Haoye couldn’t refute. After all, he had killed many people, and he didn’t even see the faces of many of them. If he wanted to dig deeper, it was naturally impossible for him to treat everyone with the same standards.

Hmm – cough – While they were talking, Tapei had already floated stiffly to a height of tens of meters, and stopped breathing with his last few moans.

I’m a little curious, where will he go? At this time, Liu Qiba, who had not said a word so far, suddenly said with a smile, Is it possible for him to ascend to outer space like this? ?

Obviously, Liu Qiba didn’t care much about Tapei’s death.

If he hadn’t died and could still use energy, it would indeed be possible to withstand the high temperature of the atmosphere and successfully float into space. Two seconds later, Bud responded to him in a very casual tone, Unfortunately, Tower Pei is not the kind of person who can survive when the potassium level in his body suddenly increases, so… he should be burned to ashes as he passes through the outer layer of the atmosphere.

Ha… this is the ‘Dead Sea’. Although I have heard of it before, this is the first time I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Liu Qiba said with a smile, I just don’t know if this ability is useful to this young master Zi Lin… What’s the use?”

You’ll know after you try it. Bard said, and with a thought, he used Dead Sea on Zi Lin.

The crazy-level Dead Sea actually has the same two effects: first, it increases the salt content in the target’s body out of thin air; second, it reverses the influence of gravity on the target.

The difference is: at the paper level, he could only produce a tiny bit of salt, but now he can produce various chemical substances including but not limited to sodium, potassium, and calcium in the target’s body. The proportions can be arbitrary, although the total amount is not exaggerated. level, but more than enough to cause death.

As for gravity, it basically allows people to rise vertically like a balloon, and the further away from the ground, the faster the rise. Even after entering outer space, it will not stop, and the target will continue to move in a straight line in the opposite direction of the earth. . Of course… it won’t continue to accelerate indefinitely. It will almost reach the upper limit when it approaches the speed of sound.

As for the number of targets that the Dead Sea can act on at the same time, it was only one at the paper level, but now… If Bard is willing, he can let all the residents in a metropolis with a population of tens of millions go to heaven.

However, he would generally not do such an operation unless he could be sure that at least 95% of the targets in a certain area were enemies, and then he would launch such a large-scale Dead Sea attack outside the field of vision.

There is no doubt that this crazy-level Dead Sea is very powerful… Take the other six guards present, for example, any one of them, including Xiwen, must either avoid it or be hit by this trick. die.

At the moment, Bard is leaving no room for action against Zi Lin.

Bud’s position has always been clear. He is not a hawk or a dove. He just believes that if people like Zi Lin win the world, they will not be better than the Federation, so he wants to resist…

It seems that you are the most troublesome one… However, after a few seconds, Zilin still stopped in place, safe and sound, and said, Compared to people like Shimura, you are the type who can’t communicate at all. …”

His words were filled with murderous intent.

Even the ‘Dead Sea’ has no effect on you? When Bard realized that his ability was ineffective and heard Zi Lin’s words, he had already accepted the fact that he would die soon, so… So, just like that, his tone was still calm, Even Nakanwo can’t do this, how on earth did you do it?

Change the structural units of proteins in the body at the molecular level, allowing these proteins to automatically strip and isolate the water molecules in my body from the salts you generate, and then remove these salts… Zi Lin stopped suddenly when he said this. He coughed twice as if he was about to spit, then spit out a crystalline object the size of a walnut from his mouth, and then continued, …just expel it.

His answer was tantamount to no answer, because even Bud didn’t understand what he was talking about, let alone others.

As for why he doesn’t go to the sky, there is no need to explain, because he has just demonstrated an ability similar to flying. As long as this ability can offset the ability of the Dead Sea to make people float, Zilin will naturally It won’t go to heaven.

Go ahead, I’m mentally prepared. After a breath, Bud said what he thought were his last words.

He has no regrets and has never had any regrets in his life. He is a person who always looks forward, even in the face of death; even at this last moment, he said the words give up because He thinks he has do_everything_he_can.

At this moment, he just hopes to leave with dignity, that’s all.

Okay, don’t worry, your family will be properly arranged. Zi Lin said as he took a step forward.

The next second, Dan saw his figure flashing and already in front of Bud.

At this time, as long as Zi Lin’s finger touches Bader’s body lightly, Bader will turn into dust and disperse with the wind…

However, at this moment, a hand grabbed Zi Lin’s stretched out wrist.

The person who stopped Zi Lin was none other than Liu Qiba.
