Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 428: Activity

The interior of the fortress was vast, so a military off-road vehicle was assigned to transport them. After the three people sat inside, Councilor Pei relaxed and leaned back.

He said, "There will be a brief introductory course here, mainly to inform you about the dangers and noteworthy aspects of the Convergence Zone. After this is completed and adjustments are made, official missions will be assigned.

Oh, and the other two people, who are assigned to Executive Officer Chen as team members, will also attend the course.

Executive Officer Chen , would you like to eat first, or attend the course first?"

Chen Chuan said, "It's getting late, so let's attend the course first, and not keep them waiting."

Meanwhile, in a public lounge, a male and a female Martial Artist were waiting. The man was in his early twenties, with a rugged and angular face, and his eyes revealed a sense of confidence and carelessness. The buttons on the collar of his uniform were undone, and his sleeves were rolled up, making his uniform look like casual wear.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face, delicate nose, and cherry lips. Her eyebrows were like willows, and although she had a face that perfectly matched classical aesthetics, the thick black hair under the brim of her hat was neat and tidy. She sat there with her back straight, exuding heroic spirit.

At this moment, a message came from the Boundary Token, reminding them that the Captain assigned to them had entered the Base. The man complained, "Our Captain has such a big presence, making us wait until now."

They had arrived here at five in the morning, but without the Captain , nothing could proceed, so they had been waiting until now, unable to go anywhere.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a soldier outside saluted them and said, "Two officers, Executive Officer Chen has gone to the screening room. Please go there."

"Finally."

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

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

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

Because they originally thought that someone who could become a First-Class Executive Officer would be in their late twenties or early thirties, and should be a mature and experienced officer.

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

The man thought, isn't this guy here to get some easy merits? He disliked this kind of person the most, because such a person would be okay as a teammate, but leading a team would be a disaster.

But despite his displeasure, the situation was still unclear, and the other party was still his superior, so he couldn't show a bad face. So he slowly raised his hand and gave a salute.

The woman gave Chen Chuan a very standard salute.

Chen Chuan returned the salute. He noticed that the male team member's gaze was examining him, and seemed to show some distrust. But he didn't mind. Third-Limit Martial Artists were a very self-centered group of people. Since they weren't familiar with him, he couldn't expect them to be too enthusiastic right away.

On the contrary, those who were enthusiastic to everyone they met and had slippery personalities were not easy to lead. He preferred his subordinates to be straightforward, so at least they wouldn't play tricks on you.

Of course, it was best to use people he was familiar with.

But there was no way to do that. Those who were cultivated by the national system liked to use acquaintances and classmates after taking on certain positions, but he had progressed relatively quickly. Not to mention that there were no classmates who had reached his level, even his senior brothers and sisters were not up to par. 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 some authority to choose his own candidates.

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

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

However, she was not tall, and at first glance, she looked like a child walking in. Outsiders looked at her serious appearance and felt that it was hard to take her seriously, and instead wanted to laugh a little.

The woman bowed forward and introduced herself, "Hello, three Executive Officers, my name is Tian Yu, and I am the instructor for the introductory course."

After the introduction, she added, "I must first inform you that the energy field resources of the Base 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 lecture you."

She adjusted her glasses, "Let's start 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, "This is the first time for all three of you to come to the Convergence Zone. The first thing to pay attention to after arriving here is your own brain. Be careful that it goes wrong."

The male team member said from below, "Are you afraid that our Spirit will go awry?"

Tian Yu looked at him and said seriously, "Executive Officer Yuan Qiu Yuan , when I am lecturing, if you need to ask a question, please raise your hand first." But she was small and tried hard to look serious, which still didn't make people afraid of her.

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, leaving a hollow inside.

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

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

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

Yuan Qiu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

After Tian Yu listed more than a dozen pictures in a row, she said, "The reason why these people have become like this is because they have been infected by something. Their brains have come alive on their own and crawled out from the inside, so I just said that the brain is prone to problems is not a figure of speech, it is really going to have problems."

She said seriously, "A person is a whole, but at the same time not a whole. The human body is composed of multiple systems and organs, and they have their own independence in terms of function and structure. If you don't pay attention to them at all times and ignore them for a long time, they will have their own ideas and thoughts."

Yuan Qiu Yuan muttered below, "This sounds so funny, is it a clip from some childish cartoon?"

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

She reminded, "Don't think that you are Martial Artists and are an exception. Although Martial Artists are more resistant to this, once there is a problem, it will not be a small problem. The pictures above all show Martial Artists ."

Yuan Qiu Yuan raised his hand.

Tian Yu said, "Executive Officer Yuan Qiu Yuan , what is your question?"

Yuan Qiu Yuan folded his arms and leaned back in his chair, saying, "I guess there must be no Third-Limit Martial Artists in here, right?"

"There are none."

"That's it then." Yuan Qiu Yuan spread his hands and pointed to his head, "I can keep an eye on my own brain."

Tian Yu said to him seriously, "Executive Officer Yuan Qiu Yuan , although there are no Third-Limit Martial Artists here, it does not mean that Third-Limit Martial Artists will not be infected, but it is more hidden. To put it extremely..." She looked at the three people, "Perhaps someone here is already infected."

"What do you mean?"

"This is what I am going to say next. If Executive Officer Yuan Qiu Yuan you are patient and listen, you will not ask this question again."

Tian Yu picked up the pointer and pointed, and a thing appeared on the projection screen that had many tentacles, but its appearance was still recognizable as a brain.

"Third-Limit Martial Artists have a high degree of brain mutation. They often possess extremely strong Spiritual Power, so they can usually restrain themselves, but it does not mean that they do not lose control. It's just that once they lose control, the form they show is different from the ordinary. 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 not the original person anymore."

They are more cunning and intelligent, rather than purely relying on instinct. They will observe everything around them, imitate the original appearance and habits, and even familiar people usually find it difficult to recognize them.

But there is also a situation where it does not know that it has changed," she pushed her glasses and looked below, "and even thinks that he is a normal person."

Yuan Qiu Yuan clicked his tongue.

The female team member raised her hand at this time.

Tian Yu looked over, "Executive Officer Qin Qing Que , what is your question?"

Qin Qing Que earnestly asked, "Instructor Tian, if there is such a person around, how should we distinguish them?"

"Well, we have a measure to judge these things, which is the "Activation Index'.

Activity Index is defined from zero to one hundred, with thirty as the boundary in the first stage. More than thirty is a warning stage, more than sixty is a dangerous stage, more than ninety is a transformation stage, and one hundred is a complete stage."

She paused and said seriously, "Then it is irreversible."

At this time, she walked to the side and turned on the lights, and then notified with the Boundary Token. Three soldiers walked in from the outside and walked to their respective positions, handing them three metal boxes.

Tian Yu said, "This is the "Activity Line'. Use this thing to connect to the Boundary Token to see the Activity Index intuitively."

The three opened the boxes and saw that inside was a jade-colored whisker coiled there, which looked quite beautiful on the surface. As soon as they reached out, the thing moved, and one end spontaneously wrapped around their wrist, while the other end connected to the Boundary Token.

Chen Chuan felt it, and the thing was very tough and basically did not affect his movements. After connecting, a line of green numbers seemed to float on the Boundary Token.

A "zero".

Tian Yu said, "The "Activity Line' can sense the activity changes in your bodies at any time. The numbers are green in the normal stage, yellow in the warning stage, and red in the dangerous stage.

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

Well, I forgot to say one more thing just now. After the brain of Third-Limit Martial Artists is activated, the body is no longer the most important thing. Under certain conditions, they may change 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 Qiu Yuan couldn't help but say in disgust, "How disgusting."

Tian Yu said, "So you should pay attention to the activation index of yourself and your teammates. If it is too high, then you have to find a way to lower it.

Third-Limit Martial Artists can usually do this by relying on Spirit suppression, but the effect is generally not good. We will have special people here to teach Breathing Techniques that are specifically used to restrain Activation, which have better effects.

Because considering that you may not have time to do these things after high-intensity combat in the wild, 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 adapt, the activated parts may also adapt."

Qin Qing Que raised her hand again at this time. After being allowed, she asked, "Instructor Tian, I want to ask, is the activated part only the brain?"
