Chapter 318: The Meeting Before the Upgrade

US time, January 6, morning, in the desert outside Las Vegas.

Oda Nobumi came to the residence of Ueda and Shimoda under the guidance of Kuroda, "This is it, instructor."

Looking at the entire small tent buried in the sand, and at the boundless desert in front of him, Oda Nobumi said, "It's really safe enough."

"The two of them should be looking for something to eat. Except for small lizards and the like, everything else here is not easy to catch. It's too open." Kuroda said, "There are a lot of bugs, but there is no water, and I don't know Toxic." As he said, he trampled to death a bug crawling past his feet, and if he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't know there was something there.

Oda Nobumi asked, "What exam questions did you prepare for them?"

"Wolf." Kuroda said, "Although the body is a bit smaller and has not undergone too fierce competition for survival, the wild nature is still there."

"Barely," Oda Nobumi said, "Here, the wolf is considered to be at the top of the food chain."

"Isn't there no way to do this?" Kuroda said shyly.

"Don't quibble, sophistry shows that you are avoiding." Oda Nobumi said.

"Yes, I was wrong, instructor." Kuroda bowed his head and said.

"What about you?" Oda Nobumi asked, "What are you going to do in the future?"

"I don't know," Kuroda said, "I don't have any confidence to face two lions."

"I took a punch from Ms. Mei Daizi and took a few steps back on the snow, but I was not injured." Oda Nobumi asked, "Do you understand?"

"I don't quite understand." Kuroda said.

"Then you can also take a punch from me." Oda Nobumi said, and hit Kuroda standing on the left with her right fist, hitting Kuroda's hastily erected palm, jumping up lightly to reduce the impact Kuroda hit five paces away.

Seeing Kuroda's trembling and swollen hands, Oda Nobumi asked, "Do you understand?"

"A little bit." Kuroda smiled wryly.

Glancing at the two figures that appeared in the distance, Oda Nobumi asked Kuroda: "Did those guys from the Intelligence Bureau and the Investigation Bureau come to bother you?"

"I've seen it from a distance," Kuroda said, "The drone has also passed through the sky twice."

As the figures approached, seeing the waist-length hair blown by the wind behind one of them, Oda Nobumi asked, "Is that guy Ueda?"

"His hair grew so long naturally, and he felt it was a pity to cut it off." Kuroda said, "I told him that with such long hair, there is only a dead end if someone gets close, but he said here , so I let him stay."

"There is no result of competition," Oda Nobumi said.

"I've thought about it." Kuroda said, "Ueda is calmer. It's okay to be a sniper, so I don't care about it."

Oda Nobumi said: "They are your people, you decide for yourself."

"Shimoda is a typical person with a simple mind and well-developed limbs. He is a person who can perform tasks very well. I plan to let Shimoda follow Ueda in the future. Ueda will command Shimoda and Shimoda will protect Ueda." Kuroda said, "For small-scale missions, As long as the firepower is enough, I can rest assured that I will leave behind them."

Oda Nobumi asked, "Give them a gun?"

"Not yet." Kuroda said.

Looking at Ueda and Shimoda who ran 200 meters away,

"Let them go full speed," Oda Nobumi said.

"Yes." Kuroda immediately shouted, "Full speed."

About forty seconds later, Ueda and Shimoda stood in front of Oda Nobumi and Kuroda panting heavily, and after about a minute, they completely calmed down.

"The cooperation is good, we ran here together." Oda Nobumi asked, "Why?" Then stopped Ueda who was about to open his mouth, pointed to Shimoda and said, "You speak first."

Shimoda looked at Ueda and Kuroda, scratched their dirty faces, and said, "I don't know."

Oda Nobumi asked Ueda, "Tell me."

"Is it necessary?" Ueda asked back.

Oda Nobumi asked: "Your physical fitness is average, are you ready for injury?"

Looking at the feet without shoes, he stretched out his hands and clenched his fists lightly. Seeing a few drops of blood dripping on the ground, Ueda said, "I'm hurting all the time."

"This is inevitable." Oda Nobumi said.

"I understand that tropical rain forests and grasslands are much more dangerous than here." Ueda said, "At least you can see the ground here."

"Since you have the determination, it's not a problem to enter the wolf class." Oda Nobumi said, "Then, Kuroda."

"Yes, instructor." Kuroda stood up straight and said, Ueda and Shimoda quickly stood up too.

"The prey tested by Ueda and Shimoda will be handed over to you," Oda Nobumi said.

"Understood." Kuroda said.

Oda Nobumi said: "Don't cheat, you can tell if it's a wild wolf."

Kuroda said, "Absolutely no problem."

"Okay, relax." Oda Nobumi said, "It's just a handshake and a welcome. In fact, I want you to host it yourself, but the Lion King said that he will come in person."

Kuroda relaxed and smiled, "Yes, this is their honor."

"Bring an ambulance and a blood bag," Oda Nobumi looked at Ueda and said, "His strength is still a little weak, and he will be entangled for a while."

Kuroda said, "It's ready."

"What did you have for breakfast?" Oda Nobumi asked.

"Half-cooked snake meat, and two small lizards." Shimoda laughed.

Oda Nobumi asked, "Are you full?"

"I'm full." Shimoda smiled, "Although it's not very tasty."

"Then go find something delicious." Oda Nobumi said, and then shouted, "Look at me." Then he looked at Ueda and Shimoda standing on the spot, his face quickly turned pale, as if he saw something terrible The same thing, nodded, and said to Kuroda whose legs were trembling beside him, "This is my gift to you."

Kuroda smiled wryly and said, "I suddenly found a big lion standing beside me. I don't want it at all."

About fifteen seconds later, Shimoda came back to his senses, half-kneeled on the ground, and vomited on the floor, "Wow!", and then Ueda also half-knelt on the ground and vomited.

"Fifteen seconds is enough for at least forty-five shots. Even with a knife, Shimoda, you have died many times." Oda Nobumi said, "And you, Ueda, if you are alone, maybe Twenty seconds, or more."

"What is this?" Ueda asked.

Kuroda said: "I don't know if you have ever seen a lion in a safari park? Of course, you were sitting in a car, and when you were walking or going to the toilet in the wild, you suddenly found a lion beside you. It should be this feeling. My mind is blank, my whole body is tense, and it's normal to spit it out."

Ueda asked, "Why is this happening?"

"Momentum, aura, or the idea in the heart, self-hypnosis and so on." Kuroda said, "It's like cheering yourself up before going on stage. This is because the instructor thinks he is a lion, and the most ferocious lion you have come into contact with The only wild beasts are wolves. If it is in Africa, if you get in touch with it more, you will have some immunity. Or if you are very vicious, you will not be suppressed for such a long time."

Shimoda asked, "How can this happen?"

"Facing people with weak personalities, you can already do this. You can calm them down just by staring at them. Not everyone is determined to kill wolves empty-handed." Kuroda said, "If you want to make people like the instructor I become like a lion in the feelings of others. I can only say that I can’t do it now, and it will be difficult to do it in the future. This is not performing on stage, it’s not just a matter of cognition, it’s just a matter of completely treating myself as a lion is not enough."

Oda Nobumi said: "This is your lack of training."

Kuroda said, "No way, I really don't feel any danger here."

"No, you're wrong. I feel that this place is very dangerous. I have to be wary of many people walking on the street." Oda Nobumi said, "Many people here have guns. If multiple people suddenly shoot within ten meters, I will It’s also hard to escape.”

"It can't be." Kuroda said with a dry smile, "That's too bad luck."

"Your heart has begun to relax, and your people have begun to adapt to ease." Oda Nobumi said.

After a moment of silence, Kuroda sighed, "Maybe."

"In this way, if you have time to go to the aquarium, go to see the big whale, touch it, feel your insignificance, and then go to see the man-eating shark, it is best to meet it." Oda Nobumi said, "You You will definitely get back that tingling feeling in your scalp.”

"Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable." Kuroda said with a smile, "I will go."

"You can try it too." Oda Nobumi said to Ueda and Shimoda, "Be careful."

"Thank you." Ueda said.

Oda Nobumi said: "Let's go, Kuroda." Then he turned and left.

"Clean it up, or change the place." Kuroda said.

"Understood, boss." Shimoda said, "It's a pity for the meat."

"Okay, I'll treat you to a big meal after the upgrade," Kuroda said.

"Boss, what level is this lord?" Ueda asked.

"Although the instructor is young," Kuroda smiled, "she is at the level of the Six Lions. She was in the team of the dictator who went to Zayer more than ten years ago. Now if there are not too many children in the African base, it is too It's noisy, I guess she will stay."

"Kuroda!" Oda Nobumi's voice came from afar.

"I'm leaving." Kuroda said, "Call me if I have something to do."

Ueda said, "Understood."

Not long after, Kuroda caught up with Oda Nobumi and asked, "Instructor, what happened just now, can you control your breath now?"

"Almost." Oda Nobumi asked, "You don't think I've been assimilated, do you?"

"Well," Kuroda smiled sheepishly, and then asked, "Instructor, how about teaching me?"

"You don't have to." Oda Nobumi said, "My original situation was like, um, how should I put it, by the way, First Blood, Rambo, you've seen it."

"Even he has seen it himself." Kuroda smiled, and then asked, "You mean the aftermath of the war?"

"That's almost what it means. Some people have mild sequelae that don't affect their lives, while others have severe sequelae that directly affect their lives." Oda Nobumi said, "I have symptoms of overweight, and the kind that hurts people when I'm not good."

"I see." Kuroda smiled, and then asked, "Instructor, do you also watch movies?"

Oda Nobumi said: "I still play video games." Then he looked at the car on the road not far ahead and said, "Go and drive."...
