The interior of the fortress was very large, so a military SUV was assigned to pick them up. After the three people sat inside, Counselor Pei relaxed and leaned back.

He said, "There will be a short briefing here, mainly to inform you of the dangers and noteworthy points of the convergence zone. After these are completed and adjusted, tasks will be officially assigned.

Oh, there are two other people, who will be assigned to Executor Chen as your team members, who will also attend the briefing.

Executor Chen, would you like to have a meal first, or attend the briefing first?"

Chen Chuan said, "It's getting late now, let's go to the briefing first, don't keep them waiting."

In a certain common lounge, a man and a woman were waiting there. The man was in his early twenties, with a rugged and three-dimensional face, and his eyes revealed a sense of confidence and nonchalance. The buttons on the collar of his uniform were loosened, and his cuffs were rolled up, making him wear the uniform like casual wear.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face, delicate nose and vermilion lips, and willow-like eyebrows. Although she had a face that perfectly matched classical aesthetics, the thick black hair under the brim of her hat was meticulously arranged, and she sat there with her back straight, full of heroism.

At this moment, a message came from the boundary device, reminding them that the captain assigned by the higher-ups had entered the garrison. The man complained, "Our captain has such a big air, making us wait until now."

They arrived here at five o'clock in the morning, but because the captain had not arrived, nothing could proceed, so they had been waiting until now, unable to go anywhere.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the orderly outside saluted them and said, "Two officers, Officer Chen has gone to the screening room, please go over."

"Finally."

The man stretched his arms and legs to loosen his muscles and bones before slowly standing up. Unlike him, the woman stood up without saying a word and followed the orderly's steps.

He muttered, "Why so serious?" Saying that, he moved his neck again and followed.

When they reached the entrance of the screening room, Chen Chuan also arrived at about the same time. When they saw Chen Chuan, both of them were slightly surprised.

Because they originally thought that someone who could become a Level 1 Executor would be in their twenties or thirties, and should be a mature and experienced officer.

But Chen Chuan looked like he wasn't even twenty years old.

The man thought to himself, isn't this guy here to get gilded? The person he dislikes the most is someone like this, because someone like this is okay as a teammate, but leading a team is just坑人, isn't it?

But even if he was unhappy, the situation was still unclear, and the other party was still his superior, so he couldn't give him a bad look, so he slowly raised his hand and gave a salute.

But there was no way. Those people cultivated by the national system liked to use acquaintances and classmates after taking certain positions, but he had progressed relatively quickly. Not to mention that none of his classmates had reached his level, even his senior classmates were not good enough. He usually dealt with teachers, so he could only rely on the arrangements from above.

However, when he became an executive captain in the future, he would have certain authority to choose his own candidates.

After meeting at the door, the three of them entered the screening room. It looked like it could accommodate twenty or thirty people, and in front was a large screen.

After the three people randomly found a seat and sat down, footsteps sounded, and a young woman with black-rimmed glasses walked in. She was wearing a white coat and looked quite pretty.

It's just that she wasn't very tall. At first glance, it looked like a child had walked in. Outsiders felt that her serious appearance made it difficult to take her seriously, but instead made people want to laugh a little.

The woman bowed forward and introduced herself, "Hello, three executives, my name is Tian Yu, and I am the instructor of the briefing."

After the introduction, she added, "I have to inform you first that the field resources of the garrison are limited, and priority must be given to ensuring communication. Other functions are not open unless necessary, so we can only use an old-fashioned projection method to give you the lecture."

She tapped her glasses, "Let's start the lecture now."

At this time, the surrounding lights dimmed, and only the projection screen in front lit up.

Tian Yu picked up the pointer and said seriously, "The three of you are coming to the convergence zone for the first time. The first thing to pay attention to after arriving here is your own brain, and be careful that it goes wrong."

The male team member spoke from below, "Are you afraid that we will go insane?"

Tian Yu looked at him and said seriously, "Executor Yuan Qiuyuan, if you need to ask questions during my lecture, please raise your hand first." It's just that she was small and tried hard to make a serious appearance, which still didn't make people afraid.

Seeing that there was no sound below, she pointed with the pointer, and a picture appeared on the screen, showing many people who had died tragically. Without exception, the upper half of their heads was gone, and inside was a cavity.

Chen Chuan looked at it and always felt a sense of déjà vu.

After this picture passed, the image changed again. This time it was different. Some things that looked like limbs or tentacles were stretched out from a person's seven orifices and were grinning.

This looked like a human being on the surface, but it could be seen that it was definitely not the same as before.

Yuan Qiuyuan shrugged his eyebrows.

After Tian Yu listed more than a dozen pictures in a row, she said, "The reason why these people became like this is because they were infected by something. Their brains came alive by themselves and crawled out from inside, so what I just said about the brain being prone to problems is not a figure of speech, it will really go wrong."

She said earnestly, "A person is a whole, but at the same time, not a whole. The human body is composed of multiple systems and organs, each with its own functional and structural independence. If you don't pay attention to them from time to time and neglect them for a long time, they will have their own ideas and thoughts."

Yuan Qiuyuan muttered below, "This sounds so ridiculous. Is it a scene from some childish cartoon?"

Tian Yu tapped with the pointer, "I am absolutely not joking!"

She reminded, "Don't think that being a Fighter makes you an exception. Although Fighters are more resistant to this, once a problem occurs, it won't be a small one. What was shown in the pictures just now were all Fighters."

Yuan Qiuyuan raised his hand.

Tian Yu said, "Executor Yuan Qiuyuan, what is your question?"

Yuan Qiuyuan crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, saying, "I bet there are no Third Threshold Fighters in here, right?"

"No, there aren't."

"Then that settles it." Yuan Qiuyuan spread his hands and then pointed to his head, "I can keep an eye on my own brain."

Tian Yu said to him seriously, "Executor Yuan Qiuyuan, although there are no Third Threshold Fighters here, it doesn't mean that Third Threshold Fighters can't be infected. It's just more concealed. To put it extremely..." She looked at the three people, "Perhaps someone sitting here is already one."

"What do you mean?"

"This is what I'm going to talk about next. If Executor Yuan Qiuyuan, you listen patiently, you won't ask this question again."

The newest novels are all first published on 69shu.com!

Tian Yu picked up the pointer and tapped it. A thing appeared on the projection screen that had many tentacles but still looked like a brain.

"Third Threshold Fighters have a high degree of brain alienation. They often possess extremely strong mental power, so they can usually restrain themselves. But that doesn't mean they don't lose control. It's just that once they lose control, the form they exhibit is different from the norm. In most cases..."

She pointed to the strange brain in the picture with the pointer, "Even if they have autonomy, they will always stay there, but the person is no longer the same person.

They are more cunning and more intelligent, and don't simply rely on instinct to act. They will observe everything around them, imitating the original person's appearance, habits, and actions. Even familiar people usually find it difficult to recognize them.

But there is also a situation where they don't know that they have already changed," she said, pushing up her glasses and looking down, "and even think they are a normal person."

Yuan Qiuyuan clicked his tongue.

The female team member raised her hand at this time.

Tian Yu looked over, "Executor Qin Qingque, do you have any questions?"

Qin Qingque earnestly asked, "Instructor Tian, if there are such people around us, how should we identify them?"

"Well, we have a metric for judging these things, which is the 'Activation Index'.

The activation index is defined from zero to one hundred. The initial stage is demarcated at thirty. Exceeding thirty is the warning stage. Reaching sixty or more is the dangerous stage. Above ninety is the transformation stage, and reaching one hundred is the complete stage."

She paused and said seriously, "Then it's irreversible."

At this time, she walked to the side, turned on the lights, and then notified them with the interface device. Three quartermasters walked in from outside, walked to their respective positions, and handed them three metal boxes.

Tian Yu said, "This is the 'Activation Thread'. Use this thing to connect to the interface device, and you can directly see the activation index."

The three people opened the boxes and saw what looked like a jade-colored whisker coiled inside. On the surface, it looked quite beautiful. As soon as a hand reached out, this thing moved, one end spontaneously winding around the wrist, and the other end connected to the interface device.

Chen Chuan felt it. This thing was very tough and basically didn't affect his movements. After connecting, a line of green numbers seemed to appear on the interface device.

A "zero."

Tian Yu said, "The 'Activation Thread' can sense the changes in everyone's body activity at any time. In the normal stage, the numbers are green. In the warning stage, the numbers are displayed in yellow. In the dangerous stage, they are displayed in red.

Teams can choose to share observations. I suggest you do so, so that even if you don't notice it yourself, your teammates can detect the problem in time.

Oh, I forgot to mention one more thing. After the brain of a Third Threshold Fighter is activated, the body is no longer the most important thing. Under certain conditions, they may switch to another individual.

The closest teammate is the best choice. They will kill their teammates, enter their bodies, and then devour their brains, and then reside in them.

Yuan Qiuyuan couldn't help but say with disgust, "How disgusting."

Tian Yu said, "So you have to pay attention to your own and your teammates' activation index. If it's excessive, then you have to find a way to lower it.

Third Threshold Fighters can usually do this by relying on mental suppression, but the effect is generally average. We will have specialized people here to teach breathing methods specifically used to restrain activation, which have a better effect.

Because we considered that you may not have time to do these things during high-intensity combat in the field, there are also special potions that can temporarily suppress it."

Speaking of this, she emphasized, "But try not to rely too much on drugs, because once you get used to it, the activated parts may also adapt."

Qin Qingque raised her hand again at this time. After receiving permission, she asked, "Instructor Tian, I would like to ask, are the activated parts only in the brain?"
