"Are you ready?" one of the guards asked her with a hint of indifference in his tone.

Shen Wu nodded. "Fu'an" had been locked up here for half a year, and she had gotten used to this kind of inspection. Every once in a while, these guards in black uniforms would come and inspect all the people trapped in this abandoned city.

The Eternal War has lasted for half a year, and countless lives have been lost in this war. In order to fight this terrible disaster, the government has established a research institute in the safe zone, trying to develop an effective vaccine or drug to fight this terrible infectious organism.

However, there has not been much progress in the research, and people can only watch the monsters wreak havoc around them.

In this battle against infected organisms, people like Fuan, whose bodies are in an unbalanced state and whose talents have been awakened, naturally become the most valuable research subjects.

Therefore, all those who were bitten by monsters and could not use their talents to awaken were regarded as "useless resources" and thrown into this abandoned city. Fuan was one of them. Her task was to sit here every day and wait for the guards to check and draw her blood.

As for her hands, they were the wounds left after Fuan tried to forcibly use the fire skill and failed. Her fire actually burned her.

"Roll up your sleeves," the guard ordered, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Shen Wu did as she was told, and she slowly rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pale, thin arm. The guard took her pulse, then took out a reagent and squeezed a drop onto her arm.

The reagent reacted quickly, emitting a pungent smell, and the guards carefully observed her arm and monitored her breathing.

After a while, the guard told her: "You are fine, you can have your blood drawn."

"Okay." Shen Wu nodded and raised his arm without moving.

Fuan had always believed that the purpose of drawing her blood was to research an antidote. As long as the virus in her body was cleared, her flames would be under control again! But later she discovered the fraud of the research. They wanted to make an awakener bomb. Once she was infected, she would be taken away and dropped into the battlefield. The force of the explosion could crush monsters within a hundred meters!

So, she planned to escape.

Shen Wu had no way to resist the guards now and allowed them to draw two bottles of blood.

Then watch them go to the next place.

Fuan was the first one to be sent to this place. She stayed there for half a year. Every day, someone would send them food and clothes, which was why Fuan was so clean. After Fuan planned to escape, she knew the patrol routes of the guards. The only threat to her was the outer electric fence...

Shen Wu felt the connection with the pet space, and sure enough, the connection was still there.

Therefore, it is the physical appearance that is changed by the power of the simulated environment.

In fact, this body is still your own, and it is the situation of the owner of this body at that time that affects this body.

Shen Wu flipped through the clean clothes sent today and saw a bottle of medicine powder and a roll of gauze. She opened the bottle cap expressionlessly, applied medicine and bandaged herself, treated the wound on her hand, and ran out quickly in the night.

At this place, there is a security base station.

If there were contestants who got the status of "useless resources" like her, they would definitely go to the base station.

……

Secure base station.

When Xiaoyue woke up, she found herself tied tightly to a chair. She tried to move, but found that her limbs were tied with strong ropes. She wanted to shout, but found that her mouth was sealed with tape, and she could only make unclear sounds.

She looked around and found herself in a strange room. The room was small and filled with all kinds of strange instruments and tools. Xiaoyue was very scared. She didn't know where she was or who had kidnapped her here.

She was diagnosed as an infected person during the day and was taken to a safe base station and isolated. Unexpectedly, she fell into a coma after having lunch. When she woke up, she found herself tied up here.

Just then, the door opened and a strange man walked in.

He was wearing a black robe and a mask so his face couldn't be seen.

The man walked up to Xiaoyue, squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. But I need your help."

Xiaoyue looked at him in horror and tried to struggle, but the man held her shoulders with his hands.

"I know you are an excellent hacker. I need you to help me crack the password of the base station's main computer. As long as you complete the task, I will let you go."

Xiaoyue didn't believe it and wanted to refuse, but the man took out a knife from his pocket and gently cut her wrist. Bright red blood gushed out of the wound, causing Xiaoyue to feel a sharp pain.

"If you don't cooperate, you will bear the consequences," the man threatened.

“Mmm…mm…”

Xiaoyue realized that this was no joke, and she nodded vigorously, trying her best to agree to the man's request.

The man untied her and handed her a small signal device.

"After deciphering the main brain code, use this signal source to overwrite the main brain's original code..."

Is this man going to rebel?

Is he also an awakened person imprisoned here?

Xiaoyue was shaking with fear. She was a natural awakener but her development direction was a hacker. She was an awakener without attacking ability. After being sent to the battlefield, she could only be eaten by monsters, but she did not die, just got bitten. The virus carried by the monster was only effective against enhanced awakeners, and she lied that she was a water awakener, so no one discovered her true ability.

But he knew this man, he must have stayed in the abandoned city for a long time.

Xiaoyue's face was gloomy. What the man said was right. Her hacking ability was excellent. She discovered almost instantly that the source of the signal device was a virus. After covering the main brain with the source of the virus, the main brain would definitely be completely destroyed!

-

On the other side, Shen Wu also sneaked into the security base station.

This place is on the edge of the abandoned city, and it is the only place with communication signals and a main brain, which is mainly responsible for managing the "useless resources" here and contacting people outside to deliver supplies. Medicines are in short supply here, and the person who can send her medicine and gauze must know this place better than her body, and may even be a contestant with a higher status who has more information than her.

Did that person give her the tip because he noticed Fuan's plan to escape?

What if he guessed wrong and this identity wasn’t the contestant?

Shen Wu's face was expressionless. Her hands were wrapped in gauze for emergency treatment, and it was a little painful from running. She could feel the wound bleeding, but she didn't have time to stop. Her figure quickly passed by under the light of the emergency lamp, turning left and right, and went to the treatment room on the third floor.

She stood at the door and turned the doorknob without hesitation. Click, the door opened.

A man in a white coat stood inside: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Commander Shen."
