Chapter 444 Awakening of All
Unlike the silence inside the stone house, the atmosphere inside the bus was almost deathly still.
Especially after Doubao and the others left, Rui Jiaying and Liu Ruizhe looked ashen-faced, while Liang Hong and the other women remained silent.
Surprisingly, it was Director Liu who had the best mindset. He was about to go to sleep when Shao Bing brought such explosive news.
Fortunately, he didn't have much of a psychological burden. If he hadn't refused the awakening potion before, perhaps he would feel the same way as Rui Jiaying and the other person.
That wasn't just a deathly pale face, it was a deathly pale heart.
"Let Sister He go? She..." Finally, one of the women, named Zhao Sui, broke the silence. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but to everyone else, they were the ones who needed the most strength.
Because they are actually the ones who lack the most sense of security.
"Me? I can't."
Sister He—He Xiuying—is the oldest of the seven and usually takes the most care of them. Without her, many of them might not have had the courage to live.
"I'm too old, it would be a waste for me to awaken. Give it to Xiao Zhou, she's young." He Xiuying shook her head, her voice hoarse.
"Sister He...no!"
Xiao Zhou's real name is Zhou Wan. She is the youngest of the seven, only nineteen years old.
At that moment, her eyes were red, like those of a frightened rabbit.
Listening to the people passing the buck to each other, Rui Jiaying and Liu Ruizhe were heartbroken.
"Let's go," Rui Jiaying said in a low voice, as if squeezed out from between his teeth. He couldn't stay any longer and just wanted to get out of the car to clear his head.
Liu Ruizhe didn't move; he had completely lost his strength.
"Don't let people look down on you!" Rui Jiaying pulled him back and turned to get out of the car.
Liu Ruizhe took one last look, then finally started walking and followed behind him.
Inside the bus, the pushing and shoving continued.
"Sister He, please don't refuse," Zhao Sui said, her voice trembling with tears.
"You've protected us for so long, it's time for us to protect you."
"But I..."
"I've made the decision. This time it'll be Sister He and Xiao Zhou! Next time, we'll have the other sisters!" Liang Hong made the final decision.
When Shao Bing led the two of them, who were crying and sobbing, to Fu Xiaojian's barracks, the people inside were already inside the barrier and beginning their breakthrough.
The only remaining potions on the stone table were the [Vegetative State Sequence Awakening Potion] and the [Barber Sequence Awakening Potion].
Shao Bing gave Fu Xiaojian a look, and Fu Xiaojian just sighed and didn't say anything more.
"These two are the [Vegetative State Sequence Awakening Potion] and the [Barber Sequence Awakening Potion]. Which one do you want to choose?"
The reason there are only two doses left is because their names always evoke negative associations.
Of course, the bone collectors were also included, but Fang Bo ultimately chose them.
Such an intriguing sequence name suggests that their combat strength shouldn't be too weak.
And he finally got what he wanted.
He Xiuying and Zhou Wan exchanged a glance, both of their eyes red.
"Sister He, you choose first." Zhou Wan wiped away her tears, her voice still trembling with sobs, but her tone was much firmer than before.
He Xiuying shook her head and reached out to grasp the barber's sequence awakening potion, which had a bluish-gray luster.
In her mind, a person in a vegetative state is better than a hairdresser!
"I choose this one."
She gave a better opportunity to Zhou Wan.
Fu Xiaojian noticed it, but didn't point it out.
"This is the contract. Sign the contract first, then drink the potion!" Fu Xiaojian handed over a contract from the table, which already had many names signed on it.
Currently, they lack sequence energy, so signing is the most direct way to enter into a contract.
He Xiuying and Zhou Wan exchanged a glance, signed the contract, and then walked into the barrier one after the other.
Jiang Li sealed the barrier and nodded to Fu Xiaojian.
"here we go."
The camp fell silent.
Doubao was the first to take the medicine, by which time the commotion within the barrier had gradually subsided.
The awakening process in the Mudman sequence is not as intense as in other sequences; rather, it is more like a slow, inside-out reshaping.
At this moment, the bean bun looks a bit like a lump of bubbling mud.
His body had completely turned into mud.
The muddy consistency of the bean buns lasted for about 15 minutes.
Then his body stopped churning wildly as it had at first, and gradually gathered, solidified, and took shape.
First the limbs, then the torso, and finally the head.
Then, Doubao transformed back into human form.
He opened his eyes, and his eye sockets were a pure gray, with no whites or pupils, like two polished pebbles.
Fu Xiaojian and Jiang Li exchanged a glance. Fu Xiaojian waved his hand in front of Doubao's eyes, and Doubao raised his little head.
"It's alright, I can see it!" His biggest worry was that the cost of the Mudman Sequence was too high for Doubao to bear.
"How are you feeling?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"It's a bit strange!" Doubao didn't know how to describe it. He felt like he was clay, able to become whatever he wanted.
"What about your eyes?" Fu Xiaojian asked about the eyes.
"Eyes? My eyes are perfectly fine!" he said, apparently he couldn't see them himself.
While the two were watching Doubao's condition, commotions rose and fell within the barrier.
Qi Dai took the [Archer Sequence Awakening Potion]. The awakening process was much more intense than that of Doubao. Her arms became strong and well-proportioned, and silver-white lines appeared on the surface of her skin, like the vibration of a bowstring.
Qian Dafu chose the [Madman Sequence Awakening Potion]. This middle-aged man in his forties was like an enraged trapped beast inside the barrier, roaring, charging, and howling. Jiang Li had to reinforce the barrier again and again, fearing that he would break through the barrier and hurt others.
Fang Bo took the [Bone Collector Sequence Awakening Potion], and his reaction was the quietest, so quiet that it almost made people think he had failed.
He just stood there, eyes closed, breathing steadily, like a statue.
But on the ground inside the barrier, the tiny pebbles and dust began to tremble slightly, as if responding to some kind of summons.
Mu Qingqing and Gu Momo each took the [Witness Sequence Awakening Potion] and the [Sculptor Sequence Awakening Potion], respectively.
The awakening processes of the two were both eventful, but neither could be considered thrilling.
Nirvana roof.
Xu Si withdrew his gaze.
"One by one," he called out in his heart.
"Hmm?" Yi Yi's voice came from the depths of her consciousness. She looked exactly like a five or six-year-old child.
"Do you know how to reduce the level of the eerie corruption?"
"What is the 'Strange Corrosion Level'?" Yi Yi asked curiously after a moment of silence.
"Never mind, it's alright!"
It would be more appropriate to ask the system about this, but the system did not provide an answer. As for asking Yi Yi, it was a gamble on her intermittent racial memory inheritance at that time.
It seems the results were not ideal.
