Deep in the Living

Chapter 12 Threat Elimination
【Records Department】

The department does not need to adjust the equipment in the institute, nor does it need to carry out relevant processing for the experimental scene.
All they need to do is to analyze in real time and record the entire practice process in detail. If they find any possible dangers in advance, they will report them immediately to ensure the overall stability of the practice.

The office is equipped with several mobile blackboards.
The theme of this practice is written on the blackboard in the center - "Growing Zombies*"

*The difficulty of this topic is floating and the final difficulty will be determined before midnight based on the subjective behavior of the participants.

At this moment, the employees in the records department are becoming excited and gradually relaxing both mentally and physically.

The subjective behavior demonstrated by the four young people greatly reduced the difficulty of this topic and greatly improved the stability of practice. The estimated pass rate is over 90%, and we can even open champagne in advance.

The department head also smiled and put a red label "Ritual Interruption" on the blackboard.

【Mansion-Master Bedroom】

The two girls, soaked in sweat and rain, were taking out spare clothes from their backpacks.

Their kindergarten, primary school and junior high school are all in the same school.

Unfortunately, the two of them should have been together in high school, but Wu Wen transferred to another school because of something. In the past two years, their time together has been greatly reduced, and they can only see each other on weekends when they don’t have cram schools.

Girls experience the greatest changes at this age.

When the two took off their shirts in the master bedroom, Wu Wen was also shocked by the scene in front of her.

Anna not only has a height and muscle mass far exceeding the average for girls, but her physical development is also not lagging behind and is also above average.

"I haven't seen you for two years. You've grown so much!"

Although the two of them usually behaved very generously, Anna still subconsciously put her hands in front of her and glanced at Wu Wen with a strange look.

Just when Anna was about to say something, she was suddenly stunned because she saw something strange on Wu Wen.

"Wenwen, what's wrong with your body?"

"Ah? Oh, you're talking about this... The tutoring class my dad arranged for me has reached the highest level of difficulty. The teacher is very strict, so it's inevitable that I'll make mistakes and get hurt."

"This isn't an accidental injury, is it?"

Anna wiped the water stains off her body with a tissue and moved closer to look carefully at the blue and purple streaks, some of which left scars.

Just when Anna wanted to see clearly, Wu Wen had already put on a black short-sleeved shirt.

"The human body is very strong. You should know this better than me, Anna. As long as it helps me grow, it doesn't matter if it's a little too much. After all, what we are going to face in the future will not stop just because we leave scars."

"Wenwen, is your uncle too strict with you?"

"Dad is just concerned about me. After all, I made a mistake. If I want to catch up with the top teams, this is the only way to make up for it. If I could have caught up with them back then, I could have gone to the same school as you... But it's also good. You won't meet interesting guys like Rody there."

"That's true. This guy is indeed a little special."

Anna also changed into a white short-sleeved shirt.
When the two opened the shared map, the light spots representing the two boys had already moved towards the mansion.

The monitor had already put on his raincoat and took out two extra ones to give to the returning boys.
"Shall we go downstairs and pick them up? If they really dealt with the body, they'll probably have to deal with the remaining tree in the backyard. Rody really made the right decision by buying that chainsaw."

Meeting Hall,

When everyone met again, the monitor quickly noticed that Gao Yuxuan was a little uncomfortable, and asked curiously:

"How on earth did you two deal with that body? You were able to do it so quickly."

"Throw it away." Rody responded.

The squad leader nodded. "Did you find a slope and throw it directly down the mountain? No wonder you guys were so fast. By the way, what are you going to do with the tree in the backyard?"

"Chopped."

Since everyone agreed, they went to the backyard again.

A sudden downpour interrupted the flies' feast and masked some of the pungent smell.

Also because of the heavy rain, the heat generated by sawing wood will be quickly taken away, and the probability of explosion will be greatly reduced.

The squad leader attached light strips to the surface of the tree trunk to avoid forming "corners" during the cutting process. When the high-frequency rotating saw teeth landed on the surface of the tree trunk,
(ah!)
Everyone heard a faint scream, which seemed to be made by the tree, and the whole locust tree began to shake slightly.

Rody did not stop his actions and continued cutting.

Sometimes foul-smelling juice would splash out, just like blood spurting out from a cut blood vessel.
Sometimes the leaves above my head would suddenly fall in large pieces, and it seemed that each leaf carried a painful expression on a human face.
Less than ten minutes.

The whole locust tree fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The cross section of the trunk does not have a growth ring-like structure, but is completely moldy and rotten, with dense small holes all over it, which makes people's scalp tingle just by looking at it.

The tree is already so rotten that it should have withered long ago.

……

Four raincoats were hung in the front yard, and the rainwater was responsible for washing the stains on them.

Outside the master bedroom door,

The two girls were waiting, and this time it was Luo Di and the other person who changed their clothes inside.

Gao Yuxuan put the clothes he took off directly into the garbage bag and tied a knot, as if there was no need to wash them because they were extremely dirty.

Just as he stood up and prepared to put the garbage toward the door, his eyes were immediately attracted by a certain "spectacle".

It was a set of muscular outlines that looked like those in paintings or those that could only be seen on TV shows. The back muscles were completely different from those of a person of this age group, and at certain angles, one could even vaguely outline a hideous human face.

Although Gao Yuxuan's sports performance ranked third in the class, there was a big gap between his scores and those of the first and second place.

He didn't expect that Rody would have such a body. No wonder he could always maintain the first place. He also knew that Rody's family background was very ordinary. To get such a body, he must have experienced a lot of hardships. He also had a little more admiration in his heart.

The time came to the afternoon [17:00],
From the time they set out in the early morning till now, the four of them had only drunk a few sips of water and had basically no nutritional intake.

Even though they are considered the best among young people, their bodies can hardly hold on, and they feel tired and hungry at the same time.

Since we knew the total duration of this practice in advance, everyone's backpacks were filled with some food bought from the supermarket, including but not limited to various self-heating convenience foods and energy snacks.

"Roddy, yours."

Luo Di had just eaten two wafers when the squad leader personally brought him a bowl of steaming hot rice.

Of course, it wasn't just him. The squad leader prepared self-heating rice for everyone.

"Thank you."

As he ate the warm and delicious meal, Rody reviewed everything that happened today, trying to figure out the ultimate threat of the simulation practice. But as he thought more deeply, a worm-like feeling of tiredness immediately began to move in his brain. He was too sleepy.

Luo Di could only give up thinking for the time being and prepare to take a short rest after dinner.

Anna on the other side seemed not satisfied with just eating. She rummaged in her backpack and took out two bottles of high-concentration vodka with Russian writing on them.

"Would you like to drink? I just got caught in the rain, so this is a good way to warm myself up."

Everyone naturally shook their heads. Not to mention minors, drinking will affect the thinking and actions of most people.

But for Anna, who has a pure bloodline and grew up drinking at home, eating without drinking is like not eating. Alcohol seems to make her feel better and rest better.

"Hey~ You don't want to drink? Then I'll drink alone."

Anna didn't care and just put the bottle to her lips.

A stream of hot liquid that burned her throat went down her throat, and her face immediately turned red. Her sitting posture gradually became less like that of a girl.
When she took a few bites of food and was about to take the fourth,
despair!
An unidentifiable "snapping" sound was received by the cochlea, which instantly sent chills all over her body, and she was so scared that she almost threw the bottle of wine away.

Anna looked at the others who were eating. They didn't seem to hear the sound.

"Is it because of drinking?"

She decisively sealed the bottle with a cork, and today's drinking ended there.
