Chapter 7 Recruitment (5)
The name "Dead Sea" is given by Eas.
When they named this ability, Bud was already a fierce ability player, and before that, Bud's ability had no name.
At paper level, this ability can only increase the salt content in an individual (human or larger animal) from a slightest bit, and slightly reverse the impact of gravity on this individual.
In actual situations, it is: the person who is hit will feel a little dry mouth and tongue, and at the same time, he will feel a little light in his body.
At first glance... this is undoubtedly a very useless ability, so much so that most people will feel that there is no value in training at all.
But Bud Levins, is not "most people".
Bard is a man with a very strong mind. If you want to summarize his character and even his life, it will be two sentences: "make_sence" and "do_everything_he_can".
Bard's background is very bad. In four words, it is "poor people are ugly in their faces."
His appearance is very bad, and he is the type of "it is not easy to make friends in school, but he also encounters walls everywhere when he goes to society to find a job."
His family background was also poor, so poor that even his basic dignity was difficult to guarantee.
However, Bard never complained about his background, nor criticized the world's nature of looking at faces... because he knew since he was a child that blaming others cannot change the status quo, nor can he solve the problem, which will only make your mentality worse and then affect your behavior.
This world is based on the face, and it has been like this since ancient times. This is a nature that integrates into everyone's bone marrow. It is meaningless to forcibly deny this.
People who are pretty themselves seem hypocritical to confront this; people who are ugly themselves are "the butt determines the head" and are unconvincing.
Even if you can beat others in arguments, you can only achieve the effect of venting dissatisfaction and will not change the actual situation.
So, Bard didn't do that at all. In his opinion, instead of wasting time and energy on complaining and venting, it would be better to do something practical.
The same two sentences: "make_sence" and "do_everything_he_can".
Bard believes that something must be logical and can change the status quo to be valuable to do it, and on this basis, there is the need to work hard.
If he believes that something can only make him feel better emotionally but it will not help his situation in the real world and may even make things worse, then he will never do it.
To sum up, when Bard became an adult, facing the current situation of "emotional appearance", the solution implemented was: exercise, train his temperament, and change his appearance... Finally, after saving a lot of money, he immediately went to make a look.
It sounds a bit too real, but not everyone can make up their minds to do it.
Similarly, in order to get rid of poverty, Bard also put in more effort than others in his study and work... Although he is also very clear that this kind of effort may not necessarily bring equal returns, it can at least make his own chances of success greater.
Bard is not the kind of person who will be entangled in "fairness". Those people, that is, the vast majority of people in the world, we generally have this kind of thinking - although we have worked very hard, we are still far from being able to compare with those second generations who are born with wealthy families and possess more resources. The latter can easily succeed by lying on the property of their parents and even grandfathers. However, they have made a lot of money, but they are still barely able to make ends meet and live a very difficult life.
This idea is not wrong, because that is the actual phenomenon; although not all X-generations meet the stereotypes of civilians about playboys, there are indeed many that meet.
Such a comparison will undoubtedly make people feel dissatisfied, even resentful, and will make people feel that their efforts are worthless and meaningless.
Looking at it from another perspective, innate talent, innate beauty... are the same as innate wealth or status, which will make us feel similar at a certain time and place.
However... is it really necessary for us to generate any negative emotions due to this "unfairness"?
Another example: the clean water you waste when you turn on the faucet, the leftovers you throw away after eating takeout will never be sent to the hands of people who can't take a bath or eat due to war and famine... This is also a fact.
But should you feel guilty about these living habits you take for granted?
Have you ever thought that if you show your behaviors to those who are hungry, they may also feel dissatisfied and resentful towards you?
And Bud didn't have that string in his mind.
He is the one who "can't eat or bathe", but he will not feel any emotion when he sees those who waste water and food.
His first reaction would be: it has nothing to do with him, because the things that those people waste will never fall into his hands, and he does not expect others to improve his life. He only considers what he can do to change the status quo.
"make_sence".
"do_everything_he_can".
Therefore, when he found out that he had a "sweet rib" ability, he was not frustrated at all.
What he can do is accept this and regard this ability as a resource that is unique to him, research and development to the extreme.
Time flies, year after year... Putting aside the identity of a capable person, Bard, as an ordinary person, gradually climbed from a grassroots civil servant with no backing to the position of a middle-level civilian in the Federal Army.
Of course, that year, he was already sixty-one, and he had only a few years left to retire (the retirement age of men in some occupations in the federal era had increased to 65).
Until the year Bud retired, no one even knew that he was a strong-powered person, his best colleague and his wife and children.
In a blink of an eye, another ten years passed. When he was seventy-five years old, Bard was still persisting in quietly training his abilities and successfully trained him to the level of fierceness...
Finally, his efforts flourished at this moment, and his ability changed qualitatively when it reached the level of evil.
Because his abilities have been continuously tempered and precipitated for more than half a century, his understanding and use of energy is also very solid. Compared with other abilities of the same level, it takes much shorter time to break through the bottleneck of the evil level to rise to the peak of the evil level.
Bud mastered his new power level almost within a month, and stopped aging at the cellular level, and his appearance began to grow counter-growth.
That year, he re-employed in the federal office as a capable person and was directly listed as an alternate to the escort officer after undergoing the EAS test.
Bard is not a genius. If you want to say that he has any outstanding features, that is, his character and mentality.
He is almost the limit of ordinary people's efforts - no matter where he is, he takes all objective injustice for granted, and then takes his own time and energy costs as a resource that is superior to others, reasonable, and at the same time he invests without hesitation, so that he can be better and stronger.
Now he is a crazy-level capable person, and he is the oldest among the seven surviving guards, the highest status and the most unfathomable.
It is also natural to deal with Tappe, the "surrendered" principle, according to his two principles of conduct.
…………
"What are you doing?" Shimura looked at Tappe who was floating in the air, and was shocked and suspicious for a moment, and quickly spoke up to question Bad.
Although Shimura is a hawkish and Tappe is a dove, under the situation in front of him, it seems that the escorts are a bit out of the way to kill each other.
"Didn't you hear it just now? Not only did he clarify his intention to surrender to the other party, but he also had a tendency to instigate others." But Bard responded in a very calm tone. At the same time, the use of his hands did not stop, as if killing Tappe was as easy as stomping the stones at his feet.
"He is just asking for your opinion..." Pang Haoye couldn't stand it anymore. Although he didn't have a deep relationship with these people, in his opinion, Bud's approach to his comrades easily was not very particular.
"Do I have to answer his question first, and then wait for him to be on guard against me or even murderous intent... before taking action?" Bud asked back, "Why should I take the risk of being attacked first by him to do that kind of thing? Just to be able to tell myself with peace of mind... he did it first?" He paused, "If I had to meet such conditions for every killing someone, then let alone whether I could still be competent for the position of guardian, I'm afraid my life would have been explained long ago."
What he said was nothing else, it was make_sence...
Pang Haoye could not refute it. After all, he had killed many people, and many of them didn't even see clearly. If he wanted to go into it, he naturally could not treat everyone with the same standards.
"Um————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"I'm a little curious, where will he go?" At this time, Liu Qiba, who had not said a word yet, suddenly spoke with a smile on his face, "Is it possible to keep going to the outer space?"
Obviously, Liu Qiba didn't care much about Tapé's death.
"If he had not died of energy and could use energy, it would be possible to withstand the high temperature of the atmosphere and successfully float into space." Two seconds later, Bard responded to him in a casual tone, "It's a pity that Tappe is not the kind of constitution that can survive the potassium content in his body, so... he should be burned to ashes when he passes through the outer layer of the atmosphere."
"Hehe... this is the 'Dead Sea'. Although I have heard of it before, it is the first time I have witnessed it with my own eyes." Liu Qiba smiled, "I just don't know if this ability is useful to this young master Zilin?"
"You'll know if you try it." Bard said, and with a thought, he used the "Dead Sea" to Zilin.
The crazy-level "Dead Sea" actually has the same two effects: one, increase the salt content in the target's body out of thin air; two, reverse the impact of gravity on the target.
The difference is that when he is at the paper level, he can only make a little salt, but now he can make various chemical substances including but not limited to sodium, potassium, and calcium in the target body. The proportion can be as good as he wants. Although the total amount is not to an exaggerated level, it is more than enough to die.
The gravity of the earth can basically make people rise vertically like a balloon, and the farther they are from the ground, the faster they rise. Even if they enter outer space, they will not stop. The target will continue to move straight in the opposite direction of the earth. Of course... it will not accelerate infinitely, and when it approaches the speed of sound, it will reach the upper limit.
As for the number of targets that the "Dead Sea" can act at the same time, it is one at the paper level. Now... If Bard is willing, it is OK to let all residents in a metropolis with a population of tens of millions of people "go to heaven".
However, he generally won’t do such operations, unless he can make it clear that at least 95% of the targets in a certain area are enemies, he will launch such a large-scale "Dead Seaization" attack from the field of vision.
There is no doubt that this crazy-level "Dead Sea" is very powerful... Take the other six guards present for example. Any one, including Xiwen, either, or you will not be able to win. Anyone who gets this move will die.
At present, Bad's couple left no room for action.
Bard's position is always clear. He is not a hawk or dove. He just believes that if a person like Zilin wins the world, it will not be better than the Federation. Therefore, he has to resist...
"It seems you are the most troublesome one..." However, after a few seconds, Zilin stopped in place, safe and sound, and calm, "Compared to people like Shimura, you are the type that you can't communicate with..."
His words were astonished as he was between the lines, and his murderous intention was already revealed.
"Is even the Dead Sea invalid for you?" When Bard realized that his ability had no effect and heard Zilin's words, he had accepted the fact that he would die soon, so... since that, and so, his tone was still calm, "Even if Nakanvo couldn't do this, what did you do?"
"Change the structural units of proteins in the body from the molecular level, so that these proteins can automatically peel off and isolate the water molecules in my body from the salts you generate, and then remove these salts..." Zilin said this, suddenly stopped, coughed twice as if he was about to spit, and then spit out a walnut-sized crystal object from his mouth, and then continued, "...it's just discharged."
His answer was equivalent to not answering, because even Bud didn't understand what he was saying, and others wouldn't understand even more.
As for why he did not "go to heaven", there is no need to explain, because he had just shown a flying ability. As long as this ability can offset the ability of the "Dead Sea" that makes people "float", Zilin will naturally not go to heaven.
"You do it, I'm mentally prepared." After a breath, Bud said this sentence he thought was his last words.
There is no regret in his life, nor has he ever regretted it. He is a person who always looks forward, even when facing death. Even at this last moment, he said this "giving up" because he thought he had "do_everything_he_can".
At this moment, he only hoped to leave with dignity, that's all.
"Okay, don't worry, your family will be properly arranged." Zilin said, taking a step forward.
The next second, he saw his figure flashing and he had arrived in front of Bud.
At this time, as long as Zi Lin's fingers slightly on Bad's body, Bad will turn into dust and dissipate with the wind...
However, at this moment, one hand grabbed Zilin's wrist that was stretching out.
The person who stopped Zilin was not someone else, but Liu Qiba.
