Tom's eloquence is not good, he is not good at convincing others, but he is very accurate in understanding the key points of the problem. Ouyang Haotian provided him with a good suggestion for his expertise, which is not to try to persuade others, but to reveal the other person's problem and let them persuade him on their own.
Now he is deeply trapped in the territory of mutants. In addition to those mutants who like to eat people, there is also this group of people around him who only want to climb the championship ranks and become the "honorable chosen ones". He needs to carefully screen in order to win over allies.
In terms of attitude, Yu Liangjun is relatively calm. Although like Zhao Xifeng, he is a vulnerable man who is afraid of his girlfriend, his sense of value is relatively positive. This time he came to find Tom privately, and was immediately seized by Tom. He used the phrases "Yu Liangjun still wants to see his girlfriend" and "there is also cannibalism in the shelter where his girlfriend is located", which successfully aroused his desire and made him willing to take the initiative to help him escape with his expectations for the future.
Of course, leaving this camp is not easy. Yu Liangjun is just Zhang Meng's newly recruited mutant younger brother, with relatively low trust and rights. He is constantly threatened by other mutants, let alone helping Tom escape.
But at least, he was willing to help Tom, and the first sincerity he gave was the intelligence about the higher ups of this camp.
Gladiator 176 and others are all prisoners of war, and they can only come into contact with mutants who monitor them, so the level of intelligence they receive is relatively low. For the perspective of the mutated class like Yu Liangjun, they cannot match it.
Firstly, there is the ability of Yu Liangjun and Zhao Xifeng. Yu Liangjun can become invisible himself and can also help others become invisible for a short period of time, similar to Liu Qi's female companion Lin Lulu. Of course, Yu Liangjun is still limited by his invisibility effect, which means he cannot move. Once he moves, he can easily appear, much like Tom.
When Tom returned to the carriage with the soldiers from the Special Investigation Department to search for them, it was Yu Liangjun who was hiding and hiding with Zhao Xifeng, which allowed him to escape the search of Tom and others. And shortly after Tianlong 2 left, he also saw the mastermind behind the animal attack, one of whom was the Purple Rose who was attacking Tom at Longyao's home.
When Yu Liangjun described the image of a woman dressed in purple, wearing an iron mask, and claiming to have four bone spurs, Tom immediately thought of her.
What's even more incredible is that the purple rose actually has a terrible master named Wuwu. Crazy as Purple Rose, this female demon who didn't even sell Wen Sitian's face in order to kill Tom, was so respectful when she saw Warlord that she dared not confront him. It can be imagined how terrifying that tall Warlord was.
In addition, Yu Liangjun also mentioned a guy named Observer 267, who Tom is very familiar with. This guy is the mastermind behind the instigation of Zeng Shisan to deceive the survivors of the camp into feeding insects. It seems that besides Purple Rose, Observer 267 named Chen Ji also harbors a grudge against Tom.
It seems that Tom is very lucky, as several members of the Darwin Order have set their sights on him. What he cares more about is the big guy named Militant, because the encirclement net that rescued him from Wen Yiku before was also a big guy, and it's unclear if these two big guys are the same person.
Yu Liangjun swallowed a blue level 1 energy changing crystal, while Zhao Xifeng swallowed a green level 1 energy controlling crystal, gaining metal shaping ability. However, what sets Zhao Xi apart from Tom is that he can actually shape and control the metal in a short period of time and distance by touching it, which is quite practical.
In Zhang Meng's recruitment test, he threw the metal sword in his hand to a gladiator. As the gladiator picked up the metal sword and swung it towards him, he suddenly activated shapeshifting, causing the metal sword to shoot out sharp spikes from the hilt and kill the gladiator holding the weapon.
After Yu Liangjun and other members of the Darwin Order left, his invisibility finally came to an end. Zhao Xitong, who was extremely sad and angry, insisted on chasing Tom and chased him along the tracks where Tianlong 2 had left. Yu Liangjun had no other companions and could only follow him.
But they didn't know how long they had been walking on the subway track, nor how far they had traveled. In the end, Zhao Xitong, who had no patience, picked a subway station and walked up. As he walked, he met a group of mutant people and was brought back to this camp.
Zhang Meng constantly sends people outside to search for resources and two legged sheep, and naturally has a willingness to accept rational mutants he encounters. That's why Zhao Xifeng and the others were taken in,
Zhao Xifeng offered a suggestion to Zhang Mengjin in order to gain a higher position, which was to tailor a metal fortress tank for Zhang Mengjin to compensate for his low defense.
The metal tank naturally originated from Zhao Xifeng's plagiarism of Tom's Awakened Armor concept, but this tank has four wheels, and Zhang Meng can spray flames through the rear nozzle to drive the vehicle to move. At the same time, there are multiple flamethrowers on the front, which can balance the needs of movement and flamethrower combat whether fighting with humans or cats and dogs.
Zhang Meng immediately appointed Zhao Xifeng as the Chief Engineer and granted him higher authority and status. Through chatting, Zhang Meng learned that they all had a common enemy, Tom, which brought them closer together.
Tom was discovered by the mutant patrolling four nights ago in the Louvre, which is the name of the glass shed building where they are located.
At that time, Zhang Meng recognized Tom and locked him in a room without a door. It wasn't until three days later that Tom woke up. Then Zhao Xifeng recognized Tom in front of the campfire and ran towards him out of control. Finally, Zhang Meng restrained him.
Zhang Meng is extremely narcissistic and cruel. Anyone who goes against him or disobeys his commands, even mutants, will be mercilessly killed. If it weren't for Zhao Xifeng being the builder of the "Apocalypse Tank", he would have burned Zhao Xifeng to death that night.
Afterwards, Zhang Meng prohibited Zhao Xifeng from coming into contact with Tom. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xifeng was very clever and knew how to find Mao Mei from the big health team. At the cost of two bottles of undiluted Maotai liquor (based on the standards of villains), Mao Mei came to fight Tom the next day at work, hoping to cripple Tom. That way, Tom will lose his combat power on his debut as a new gladiator three days later.
After explaining the matter, Yu Liangjun hurriedly left. At present, the only thing he can help Tom is to provide some intelligence, and there is really no other way. But for Tom, this was already good. Returning to the prison of the Ghoul Squad, he thought a lot and had some doubts about the rules of this gladiator in his heart.
Jiangshan is easy to change, but it's hard to change one's nature. A villain like Zhang Meng can actually create such perfect rules and embody humanized management everywhere. This is very rare due to the unstable and manic nature of mutated individuals.
Combining with last night when Zhang Meng raised his hand and burned a mutant just to show off to Tom, the punishment Zhao Xifeng received for ignoring his orders to kill Tom made him feel that Zhang Meng's vengeful and cunning personality conflicted with the previous rationality.
Don't think about it for now. What Tom needs to do now is to resume training as soon as possible.
According to the statement on the 176th, Tom will make his debut as a gladiator tomorrow evening at dinner. He will face a challenge from a gladiator with less than 5 points in the opposing healthcare team. This battle is not a life and death battle, but his initial score as a newcomer will be determined based on his performance.
Mao Mei used a lot of strength in a fight with him yesterday, but she injured him quite badly. At this time, she also walked with a limp and may have broken one of her ribs. This had to be done in the past, and it would take at least two months to recover. So far, he has felt a little better, and it doesn't affect his ability to perform some simple attacking actions, but it will still be very painful to engage in large-scale activities.
If his initial score is below 5 points, he cannot serve as the captain of the Ghoul Squad. And if the score is below 2 points, he will be directly judged as a two legged sheep and deprived of the qualification to become a gladiator, which may also be the motivation for Zhao Xifeng to find Mao Mei.
If he becomes a two legged sheep, then Zhao Xifeng will be more convenient to deal with him.
So tomorrow night, how will he face his gladiator debut? Tom feels the need for some combat training tailored to his current physical condition.
It has to be said that the gladiator rules formulated by Zhang Meng are really humanized. Compared to his own irritable personality, these rules are like a 3A level game.
The next day, the gladiators were still carrying supplies, but Tom, who was about to participate in his debut show tonight, was an exception. He was allowed to eat his fill and enjoy a training room alone, allowing him to focus on preparing for tonight's fight.
A shield made of sticks, fists, and cockroach skin, which is a practice tool open to gladiators in the training room. Tom is here to constantly experiment and improve his combat strategy.
Unconsciously, dinner time had arrived, and the gladiators had finished their tiring day of moving, nibbling on the limited edition biscuits assigned to them and touching their half full stomachs to visit Tom in front of the training room.
Quickly, two mutated individuals holding weapons led Tom through a long corridor and arrived at the closed iron gate, waiting for the upcoming gladiatorial battle. At this moment, Tom was somewhat excited. Since the battle was inevitable, the best solution for him was to face the challenge with his best mental state.
Quickly, the iron door was automatically opened, and Tom felt that it was most likely a metal sculpture controlled by Zhao Xifeng hiding in the next room.
The glaring campfire made Tom's face warm and he was also reflected in a crimson glow.
On the other side of the bonfire, a relatively small man emerged, but his eyes were shining with shrewdness. Behind Tom, there was a cry of surprise from number 97: "That's the 95 point executioner number 136. What about the agreed opponent with less than 5 points? This bastard ranks third in the strength of the big health team. Tom, you're done!"
The exclamation of number 97 may sound like a schadenfreude for Tom to others, but in Tom's eyes, it seems to remind him to be careful of his opponents.
It seems that... my own judgment is correct, and my psychological preparation has just met expectations.
