There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

After being stunned, Yukinoshita Yukino was no longer so depressed. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. After adjusting her sitting posture, she bowed slightly to Kitahara Sora: "I actually wanted to thank you, Kitahara-san, thank you for saving me."

Kitahara Sora waved his hand to show that he didn't care, took out a cigarette, lit it, and stopped talking.

But Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, then stood up and walked in front of Hirano Toda.

"Hirano-san, hold out your hand."

Hirano Toda, who was talking to Miyamoto Rei, was startled by Yukinoshita's sudden voice: "Yuki, Yukinoshita-san? What's the matter?"

Although he was confused, he still stretched his chubby hand in the air.

Then, under Hirano Toda's puzzled gaze, Yukinoshita took out the evolution core from her pocket and placed it flat on the palm of his hand.

"I tried, but the core won't allow us to strengthen it a second time, so Kitahara-san gave this to me to keep and do with as I please."

Yukinoshita Yukino continued, "If it weren't for your help, Kitahara-san might have been in danger."

Then, in the astonished look of Miyamoto Reito that she couldn't understand, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke again.

"This is a thank you gift."

Chapter 29 Main Attribute: Intelligence

It was Hayato Hayama who was driving again. He had woken up in the middle of the night, and the witch's core had healed all his injuries.

However, his entire temperament has changed a lot. He no longer seems gentle and humble, and no longer seems easy to approach. He speaks less and has become much colder.

Da He Taiyang was sitting in the passenger seat with a map in his hand. He would look at the map from time to time and gesture with his hands. Judging from his occasional smile, it seemed that he had forgotten what happened yesterday.

Yumiko Miura had fallen asleep in the second row. She looked haggard after not sleeping all night. However, from their interactions in the morning, it seemed that Hayato Hayama no longer comforted her in a gentle voice like he had in the past few days.

Nakain Yuka and Ito Makoto were connected because of Sawaonaga Taisuke. These two poor little people who were saved by the same person fell asleep leaning on each other.

Hirano Toda, however, sat upright in the recliner with cold sweat on his head, not daring to breathe a nervous breath, because Miyamoto Rei was sleeping soundly with her arms around his, and his left arm was also tightly held by her, and he was immersed in the incomparably soft great justice.

Yukinoshita Yukino also suffered from insomnia last night. As for the reason, Master Yukino began to hypnotize herself endlessly, telling herself countless "reasons", telling herself that she was just too shocked at the time and the situation turned around too suddenly, so she would endlessly recall the scene at that time.

Lying on the sofa last night, Yukinoshita Yukino kept replaying the scene of Kitahara Sora aiming the bow at her in her mind like a spell. At first she just thought of the scene inadvertently, and then she couldn't stop.

Did he really have that kind of superb archery skill originally? What would have happened if the arrow had been off by one centimeter?

What was that guy thinking at that time? Wasn't he afraid of hurting me by mistake? What would happen if I moved out of fear?

Yukinoshita thought a lot that night. She felt scared, relieved, and angry...but she wanted to be honest.

Looking back, just from an appreciation perspective, it does seem, maybe, a little bit handsome.

Because in the evening, Hirano Toda, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and ran to Kitahara Sora to ask him how he shot the arrow he saw in the sniper scope at that time...

Ye Shan was not driving fast, maintaining a speed of only about 30 yards. Fortunately, he had installed anti-skid chains, so no serious accidents occurred during the journey.

Kitahara Sora had been on alert for four hours holding an AK. Even though his physical fitness was different from that of ordinary people, it was inevitable that he would be a little distracted after being on high alert for several hours.

"Kitahara-san, take a rest for an hour. We'll almost reach our destination." Yukinoshita advised Kitahara Sora as he rubbed his nose to relax.

"It's okay. I just feel a little visually fatigued from looking at the white snow scene all the time. It's no big deal."

Kitahara Sora moved his neck, and the bones made a crackling sound. He glanced at Yukinoshita, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

It has been several years since anyone cared about me this much. As an adult, others don't bring you much, and most of the time you have to rely on yourself to get through it. Sometimes, no matter how successful you are or how much glory you get, the congratulations and flattery you receive are far less than someone suddenly saying to you, "Thank you for your hard work."

Because, the person who can say this to you has you in his heart. He doesn't care what you have or what you have gained. He only sees your efforts and only cares about you.

Just like Yukinoshita Yukino's light advice at this moment, just like she gave the core to Hirano Toda yesterday, all of this made Kitahara Sora feel a little touched in his heart. Maybe she doesn't hate me anymore.

Kitahara Sora really wanted to smile at her, because deep down he already considered this girl, who was usually very smart but sometimes stubborn and silly, as his friend, or from a psychological age point of view, it would also be more appropriate to consider her as a little sister.

But I couldn't laugh. Ever since my 'death', I couldn't accurately control my facial expressions, whether I was happy or angry. I had simulated a smile in front of the mirror countless times, but in the eyes of others, that was not a smile, it was a threat.

"Yukinoshita-san, did Hirano tell you yesterday what his attributes were? I remember you discussed it, but I didn't participate."

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Ohga Taiyo and the others in the front row, and lowered her voice a little: "Mr. Hirano has the same highest agility attribute as you, but according to him, his agility value is only 25, and the other attribute values ​​are all 10 or 15. He also told me that he didn't feel any particularly obvious improvement in his body, only his vision and hearing have been strengthened."

Kitahara Sora glanced at Hirano Toda in the front row. He had taken off his black-framed glasses at this time, and his vision defects had been repaired after the enhancement.

"What about other aspects?"

When Kitahara Sora asked this question, Yukinoshita Yukino was visibly stunned, and after a few seconds she said in a strange tone: "Which aspects?"

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's reply, Kitahara Sora was also stunned. After a moment, he suddenly felt energetic, and even his pupils were faintly shining, because Kitahara Sora spoke Chinese just now, and Yukinoshita replied in Chinese!

But after she answered Kitahara Sora's question, she covered her mouth in disbelief, looking incredibly surprised.

Sobu High School is a senior high school. Although it cannot be said to be an aristocratic school, it is not far behind. The school has Chinese classes starting from the first year of high school, but they are as scarce as physical education classes in China. And the annoying thing is that they start teaching with traditional Chinese characters, which is really annoying and useless.

Because China's status in the international community is getting higher and higher, Sobu High School has only added Chinese classes in recent years. Due to the strict and rigorous personality of this nation, the school directors said that they would only teach the most formal and orthodox Chinese, and then the students began to learn traditional Chinese, which has been eliminated in daily life in China...

But in fact, it's just like choosing an elective course. The reason why Kitahara Sora was able to enter the top student class, Group J, in the second year, was actually because of his Chinese ability. His Chinese level is almost good enough for him to be a teacher.

Also because of Kitahara Sora, the school leaders recently held a meeting to discuss whether to change traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese.

How is Yukinoshita Yukino's grades? She is a top student, often topping the grade report card, but how is her Chinese level? Anyway, the second-year J group has just finished learning pinyin, started to memorize Chinese characters, learn antonyms and simple sentence construction.

So, when Kitahara Sora spoke that sentence very quickly, Yukinoshita Yukino was able to understand and answer, and it was not because of her good grades.

"So, you can understand me when I speak Chinese, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and opened her mouth, but this time she couldn't say anything because so many pronunciations popped up in her mind at once, and she didn't know how to start without any oral practice.

Beiyuan Kong thought for a moment and continued to speak in Chinese: "I have actually been thinking about the role of your main attribute intelligence, but I can't come up with any conclusion. In fact, when I asked you questions in Chinese just now, I blurted out the questions unintentionally because I am still used to thinking in Chinese in my mind."

"Since you understand, just listen to me."

After placing the AK on the chair, Kitahara Sora continued, "Hirano Toda's main attribute is agility, and his other attributes are also very low. His body has not improved significantly, but the lowest is not lower than 10, so I think 10 is the standard value for a human being. Anything lower than 10 is considered unhealthy. By the way, did he tell you how developed his brain is?"

After hearing this, Yukinoshita opened her mouth to respond, but she closed it abruptly. After silently reciting the Chinese number from one to ten in her mind, she said in non-standard Chinese: "Ten percent."

After a pause, he continued, "Coconut~ flash ten dirty, tower~ dull~ tease a sheep."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say anything." Kitahara Sora's mouth twitched. Seeing her serious, he felt uncomfortable because he wanted to laugh but couldn't: "Well, Ye Shan is 15% like us, but Hirano Toda and Ohga Taiyo are 10%, right?"

After Yukino nodded, Kitahara Sora continued, "I roughly guessed it. I vaguely remember that my head first prompted me to unlock 5% of my genetic potential, and then asked me whether to fuse the core. Finally, I fainted."

"Then I thought about it carefully and overturned my previous guess. The core cannot help us open the blockade of the brain area, but the physical blockade. That is to say, when we enter this space and are on the verge of death, there is a chance to break through the genetic potential. So the unlocking of the brain area has nothing to do with the evolution core. It mainly depends on yourself. Of course, there is a chance. In other words, when Ye Shan was injured by the witch, he had actually broken through his genetic potential. And you almost lost too much blood, and experienced a series of emergencies. Your nerves were on the verge of collapse, so you were on the verge of death, and you only unlocked 5% of the brain area blockade. Hirano Toda and Ohga Taiyo were directly fused with the core when they were healthy and not in danger, so they did not unlock the brain area."

"Of course, this is a matter of probability. Just like our deceased companions, maybe they have unlocked it, or maybe not. But even if they unlocked the brain area before they died, there is no way to heal and repair it without the core."

"They didn't unlock the brain area, but they also broke through the shackles of humans and allowed the attribute panel to be unlocked. It is very likely that the core and the attribute panel are bound together, and the brain area is independent. Although I don't know what this blockade means for the time being, I feel that it is far more important than the evolution core. We will discuss this matter later... Let's talk about your intelligence. Your original Chinese level is at most the most basic level, but you can understand my daily language at such a fast speed, which means that your intelligence attribute is playing a role."

"Intelligence does not increase IQ, but the higher the intelligence, the higher your brain's information processing and comprehension abilities. Let's make an assumption. It's easy for most people to do two things at once, but not three things at once. The intelligence attribute may allow you to solve difficult math problems at the same time, which is information processing ability. The most important thing is comprehension ability... So, let me ask you a question first."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and asked back, "Why is that a question?"

This time I spoke in Japanese.

"Yukinoshita, have you ever watched a Chinese TV series before? The original Chinese dubbing, but with Japanese subtitles?"

Yukino asked in confusion, "I sometimes watch documentaries from other countries. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"It's a big problem." Beiyuan Kong wanted to smoke a cigarette, but considering that they were in the car, he put the cigarette back and continued: "Remember what I told you about memory?"

"Memory is the most mysterious thing. When your intelligence improves, your brain's working efficiency is greatly improved. In fact, humans don't forget anything. It's just filtered out. What you have seen will be buried in the deepest part of your memory forever. In the end, your brain will deceive you and cause you to forget."

At this point, Yukinoshita Yukino understood. She asked in surprise, "Kitahara-san, are you talking about the movies and TV shows I've watched?"

Kitahara Sora nodded: "You have watched those foreign TV dramas and movies. Although you don't understand them, the pronunciation has been engraved in your mind. Most people may forget them after watching them, but you have awakened the intelligence attribute. Although you have 'forgotten', you will immediately find those things from your mind when you need them, and you know the meaning, because when you heard the pronunciation, your eyes were also recording the Japanese subtitles. The best proof... well, think about it, can you understand every word I say now, but you don't know how to write the Chinese characters?"

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino pondered for a moment, then widened her eyes and nodded slightly.

Because Kitahara Sora's guess was absolutely correct. He could understand every word he said and what he meant, but he had no idea how to write these words in his mind, just like an illiterate person.

"This is because when you watch this kind of documentary several times, the vocabulary and daily expressions are almost all recorded in your brain... So you only hear the pronunciation, and don't know how to write the Chinese character for that pronunciation - that is to say, when you awaken the intelligence as the main attribute, although it can't make you smarter or increase your IQ, you have a stronger information processing ability, which allows you to understand things that ordinary people can't understand, and also gives you the ability to remember everything you see... But this is all my guess, maybe it's not that complicated. I have read similar books and works before, and this kind of language function can be directly exchanged in the 'Lord God' space."

Yukinoshita's brain was a little confused, but she could understand what Kitahara Sora meant very well.

"However, Kitahara-san, we cannot be absolutely sure before things are confirmed. Although your speculation makes sense, the specific true situation can only be fully revealed when we return to the 'Main God Space' as you said."

Yukinoshita answered Kitahara Sora's analysis very humbly and pertinently, but seeing the girl's eyes change from surprise to obvious uncontrollable joy, Kitahara Sora suddenly felt speechless and even a little envious.

Just like those good friends in the group who show off their SSRs, "Oh, I got this, is this good? Is this useful?"

It's actually quite infuriating.

If it is really as he guessed, although Yukinoshita Yukino is very weak now, if she survives this first trial and grows up, she will definitely be invincible in the future.

Just as Kitahara Sora began to have wild thoughts, Ye Shan stepped on the stomping ground to stop the school bus.

As the strange man outside the car shouted, prompts in my mind also sounded.

"Mission Objective 1: Find the survivors, Bill, Francis, Louis, and Zoe. Reward points: 500."

"Mission objective 1: Completed, reward points 500."

Chapter 30: Brother Cheng is awesome

"I'm sorry we didn't tell the truth."

Bill took off his hat and looked at everyone with a slightly apologetic look: "Actually, our situation is already very bad."

It was already evening when everyone got off the bus and arrived at the small hotel where the survivors were staying. Bill and his group seemed to be preparing to leave due to hunger. As soon as they went out, they heard the roar of the school bus engine coming from a distance. After the four of them pointed their guns at the school bus and forced it to stop, everyone finally met.

To be honest, choosing to set off in the afternoon was an unwise decision, but they no longer had the right to choose.

After everyone worked together to carry the supplies into the hotel, re-lit the fire in front of the fireplace, and introduced themselves, Bill sincerely apologized to everyone.

"I basically guessed your situation from our first phone call, Mr. Bill. In fact, it doesn't matter to us whether you are from the military or not."

Bill turned his gaze to Kitahara Sora who was speaking, and then carefully inspected these new partners who brought them hope. Looking at these slightly tired and immature Asian faces, his heart was filled with gratitude but also helplessness. They were even younger than Zoe, and they were still a group of children.

"We have been trapped in the Shelson Hotel for many days, but the food in the hotel will eventually run out, so we chose to leave."

Kitahara Sora gave a cigarette to Bill, Francis and Louis respectively, which made them more favorable towards Kitahara Sora. After replenishing their food, nothing could be more refreshing than smoking a cigarette.

Old Bill is easy to talk to except for asking him for a cigarette. He will act like an old nun facing a mob and refuse to give.

Louis even verbally scolded him about this matter, and as a result, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by the old man.

"Oh~Praise God, Wrigley cigarettes! It's a collector's edition!" Louis took the cigarettes and looked at them carefully before exclaiming, "Hey, man, where did you get such a top-notch thing?"

Beiyuankong lit up Bill, threw the lighter to Louis, and then took out three unopened packs of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to the three of them. He said nonchalantly: "There are two new ones in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, and there are still a lot of drinks in the wine cabinet, but I don't like drinking much."

"Ah, man, I like you." Louis danced happily and shouted to Kitahara Sora with a smile: "From now on, you are my brother."

Francis also laughed carelessly after taking the cigarette, patted Kitahara Sora on the shoulder and joked: "Boy, you better be careful, this guy is a homosexual."

"Bullshit, Francis, I'm going to get under your covers tonight!"

Click!

After Zoe loaded her rifle with a smile, Frances and Louis stopped immediately. She put down her AR automatic rifle and gave everyone an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, my classmates, these two bastards are always like this."

"But I'm curious how you were able to hold out in the city center for a week and then evacuate safely. How did you do it?"

Facing Zoe's question, Bill and others also looked puzzled. When the virus in White Eagle City became uncontrollable, the government didn't even have time to mobilize troops, and the entire city was paralyzed overnight. Just as Bill said on the phone, perhaps a tactical nuclear bomb would explode here soon.

Three days after the situation got out of control, the government no longer needed to send in a large number of troops, but it also dispatched at least twenty rescue helicopters to conduct a three-day comprehensive search and rescue. However, not many survivors were rescued. One person who was rescued onto the helicopter had a wound in a hidden part of the body. He concealed the fact that he was bitten by a zombie, which led to a plane crash in the city.

It was not until this heavy snowfall, which violated the laws of nature, that the military temporarily gave up the search.

It took less than a month for the virus to spread widely, to the fall of entire countries, and then to the entire world. According to incomplete statistics, the entire Western population has now dropped by more than 50%.

Bill and others were just passing by this city and had no intention of entering, but just happened to be trapped here.

However, it was a coincidence that the satellite phone in Louis' hand was obtained from the pocket of a zombie he killed, and Sawaga Taisuke also found one in a room in the hotel and accidentally pressed the replay button, which directly made the phone in Louis' hand ring.

After listening to Zoe's explanation, Kitahara Sora and others were about to speak when they heard Louis interrupt: "Friends, didn't you say that you have more than ten people? How come..."

“We started with 20 people.”

Hayato Hayama, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted Louis' question. He hadn't smiled in the past two days since Tobe Sho died. "The person who called you is dead. We are exchange students from Japan and are temporarily staying in that hotel. We were very scared when the city fell into panic, so we stayed locked in the room and didn't come out."

"I'm sorry... ah, I meant to say..."

"Shut up, my dear Louis, from now on, you'd better be dumb!"

"It's like this." Kitahara Sora interrupted Francis's serious rebuke and deliberately changed the subject: "We collected our weapons and ammunition from the West Street Weapons Store. At that time, all the weapons on the shelves of the store had been robbed, but we found the store's inventory compartment in a secret door inside the store."

"We also saw the government helicopters, but they didn't find us trapped in the hotel. We didn't even dare to go out at first, but in order to survive, we had to go out to find weapons and food, which also cost us a very painful price."

Beiyuan Kong calmly explained and then asked Bill, "We are in a foreign country because we have no choice. So I said that whether you are from the military is not important to us. However, do you know what is happening in our country now? Will there be any rescue? We have been completely cut off from the outside world."

"I'm sorry, kid."

After the survivors looked at each other, Bill shook his head and said, "All flights around the world have been cancelled. The whole world has been paralyzed. Now we can only seek refuge in Grizzly City, which is under strict control of the military. This is what I know so far."
