24 hours to save the world

In the pure white room, Zhu Shijiu stood opposite Hei Bing.

Xu Feng's words did not shake Zhu Shijiu at all. He could feel that his body was eager for something, and every cell was roaring and screaming, showing unparalleled vitality to the outside.

However, strangely, his heart remained abnormally calm, even more "calm" than the state of "calm water" in archery.

After hearing Xu Feng's threat, the psychological state that should have at least some resistance did not produce any fluctuations, as if what Xu Feng said was not an exaggeration.

"...Is this the state after all emotions are wiped out?"

Xu Feng had reminded him long ago. Before he injected the Hei Bing potion, Xu Feng said that although this potion was not as good as the Hei Bing potion in improving physical fitness, it had the same effect as the Hei Bing potion in one aspect - erasing emotions.

As long as the potion is injected, people will become ruthless monsters.

Zhu Shijiu recalled his state before the injection, the urgency of wanting to save the world, the pain of seeing his family screaming under the radiation of blue light, the scene of Li Hua screaming for revenge in front of him... all of them didn't matter.

Is it necessary to save the world?

Zhu Shijiu found that when he lost his emotions, his previous determination disappeared without a trace, and the grand goal of saving the world seemed less important.

"Do you still want to start?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Zhu Shijiu's thoughts.

The person who spoke was the black soldier who was only one step away from him.

The black soldier was wearing old clothes. Except for the gun in his hand, all other equipment was complete. Including the helmet and mask, Zhu Shijiu couldn't see whether this person was a man or a woman, what he looked like, and how old he was.

He could only see the black soldier opposite him staring at him with an indifferent look.

A distorted voice sounded through the mask: "After the injection of the drug, all your emotions will be suppressed, and all the things that you thought were valuable before will only become obstacles now. Have you really thought clearly about what you want?"

"You talk a lot."

Zhu Shijiu said: "Start teaching me to fight now. Where to start?"

"You are more determined than I thought."

The Black Soldier said so, and then looked at Zhu Shijiu: "Stretch out your hand, palm up."

Zhu Shijiu stretched out his hand: "My idea of ​​saving the world is much more determined than you think. Even if the emotions are wiped out, my goal has never changed."

The people in the Black Soldier Organization don't understand that his belief in saving the world does not need those great spirits to support it.

Before he injected the drug, the reason for saving the world was to keep himself, his family, and the people he cared about alive. After the injection of the drug, he continued to be determined to save the world, and the reason became purer-to live.

In a heartless and emotionless state, dying lightly would not cause him any emotional reaction, but if the concepts of "death" and "survival" were placed on both ends of the scale, it was obvious that "survival" was more valuable - this was the value he had developed for more than 20 years and could not be easily changed.

So when he became an absolutely rational person, he would only measure the value of both survival and death to determine whether to continue to survive, rather than relying on the survival instinct of the creature.

"Really?"

However, Hei Bing thought that even if all Zhu Shijiu's emotions were erased, he still did not change his lofty ideal of saving the world.

There was a little confusion in his indifferent eyes.

Zhu Shijiu noticed this almost immediately, and then after a little thought, he understood one thing.

Hei Bing was different from him. Before they became Hei Bing, they all put their own life and death aside, abandoned the concept of survival, and instead regarded devoting themselves to the world as the greatest ideal. But after the injection of the drug, the full emotions supporting the ideal melted away, and it would be easier to feel confused.

Zhu Shijiu said to Hei Bing: "If you don't have a firm belief, you are not qualified to be a Hei Bing. But since you have become a Hei Bing, then continue to be firm in your ideals. We are all fighting to save the world."

This high-sounding words were said to Xu Feng.

He knew that Xu Feng was listening and would definitely take this opportunity to judge his beliefs and positions. So in order to prevent Xu Feng from continuing to torture him after the lie was exposed, Zhu Shijiu made extremely rational considerations and finally decided to disguise an image that was extremely consistent with the purpose of the Hei Bing organization.

Disguise. Hei Bing was actually also disguising.

After getting the answer he wanted, his eyes changed when he looked at Zhu Shijiu, and he lost all his confusion and returned to indifference.

——The first task "testing Zhu Shijiu" has been completed, and he confirmed Zhu Shijiu's position.

His second task is "teaching Zhu Shijiu to fight".

Hei Bing stretched out a hand and covered his hand with Zhu Shijiu's hand.

"The only way to defeat martial arts in the world is to be fast. Any fighting technique cannot be separated from speed. After the injection of the drug, your brain will enter a short active period, which is only ten minutes long. After ten minutes, your reaction speed will begin to slow down. These ten minutes are called the 'golden reaction time'."

"During this period, if you focus on training your reaction ability, then after the time passes, your original reaction speed will be greatly improved. After the golden time is over, I will formally teach you to fight."

Zhu Shijiu looked at his hand with the black soldier. No words.

The black soldier said without even looking at it, "The method to train your reaction speed is very simple - I will put my hand on your hand now, and I will pull my hand away later. What you need to do is try to touch my hand again after our hands separate."

Zhu Shijiu was puzzled: "Is it that simple?"

"Yes."

"Are there any restrictive rules? For example, you can't move, and you can't hide your hands behind your back."

"Whatever." The black soldier replied without any fluctuation in his tone, "As long as you can touch my hand, you can use any method."

"...Okay."

The black soldier was so confident that he almost said "You can't touch my hand."

"When does it start?" Zhu Shijiu asked.

"Now."

The black soldier raised his hand without waiting for Zhu Shijiu to be ready, and the two of them separated their hands.

Zhu Shijiu was indeed not ready, and he didn't react, but at the moment when the black soldier separated his hands, his highly active brain immediately told him what happened - the game started.

The black soldier's hand first raised up, and Zhu Shijiu's hand followed, but just when it was about to touch, the black soldier's hand retracted a little.

Zhu Shijiu did not insist on standing still and playing games with the black soldier. He took a step forward and prepared to use the movement of his body to make up for the lack of reaction speed.

But at the moment when he was about to catch him, the black soldier also took a step back.

How can reaction speed only be determined by the movement of the hand?

The black soldier saw the movement trend of every part of Zhu Shijiu's body, and could easily predict what Zhu Shijiu would do next.

The quick reaction speed of ordinary people refers to the unthinking nerve reflex, but the reaction speed of the black soldiers refers to the reaction speed that can still be performed without thinking after thinking. The difference between the two has become a gap in the reaction between ordinary people and black soldiers, which cannot be crossed.

At least people who have not been trained cannot learn the skill of "thinking before reacting" in a short time, which is easier said than done.

Zhu Shijiu forced the black soldier back a step.

With his brain highly active, Zhu Shijiu saw clearly that the black soldier did not play tricks, and his movement speed was always maintained at a level similar to his. Seeing that the black soldier's hands looked so relaxed just now, he knew that the black soldier must have some spare strength, as deep as the abyss.

He did not give up and took another step forward.

This time, he almost used all his leg strength to rush forward! And his right hand went straight to the black soldier's hand!

However, the black soldier retreated again.

The black soldier still maintained a speed that Zhu Shijiu could barely catch up with, so Zhu Shijiu always thought that he had a chance to catch his hand. After fishing Zhu Shijiu's hand with an ordinary fake move, he stretched out his foot and "coincidentally" touched the toes of Zhu Shijiu's sprinting forward, and stepped lightly.

Zhu Shijiu's reaction was quite fast.

If the normal level before the injection of the drug was 60 points, then his reaction speed has now increased to 90 points, but compared to the black soldier, this is not fast enough, at least he can't pay attention to grabbing the black soldier's hand while guarding against the black soldier's sneak attack.

So the black soldier's kick made him lose his balance, and the whole person fell forward directly.

The black soldier gently turned sideways and released his foot that was stepping on Zhu Shijiu's toes.

If it were normal, Zhu Shijiu would definitely fall, but now he barely stabilized his body and regained his center of gravity after stumbling forward two steps.

He turned around and looked at the black soldier with a calm face: "I didn't expect you to sneak attack me."

"The only rule of this game is that your hand touches my hand. You can try all other methods you can think of, such as attacking me. I just gave you a demonstration. At least I won't be stingy with small tricks outside the rules." The black soldier said lightly.

Yeah. I remember, I must catch you off guard next time.

Zhu Shijiu rushed towards the black soldier again.

He didn't believe that he was still so useless after injecting the drug.

The speed of the black soldier in front of him was almost the same as his, but he just couldn't touch the black soldier's hand.

This was what he expected. Now he was absolutely rational and tried to master the black soldier's action style and movement trajectory. If he could master the black soldier's actions and get familiar with it for more than a dozen times, he would probably be able to judge the black soldier's personal style.

He rushed towards the black soldier again, this time using both hands.

...

In another room, Xu Feng finally filled in Zhu Shijiu's personal evaluation form.

In the reaction speed column, Zhu Shijiu's evaluation was C+-very poor.

Before the fighting teaching began, Xu Feng felt deeply disappointed.

Is it just this extent?
