389: Welcome to join the special group
Just then, Zhu Qing stepped forward.
He looked at Gao Shengqiang and then said firmly, "I'll try first."
Gao Shengqiang looked at Zhu Qing, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Gao Shengqiang reminded him, "Although it's a test agent, there's still a risk of death."
Zhu Qing smiled indifferently and said, "Only those who aren't afraid of death are worthy of living."
Qiu Qian glanced at Zhu Qing, a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
She took out the test agent, walked up to Zhu Qing, and asked, "Are you ready?"
Zhu Qing took a deep breath and nodded.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the test agent to be injected.
Qiu Qian quickly and accurately injected Zhu Qing with the test agent.
Immediately after, Zhu Qing's body began to tremble violently, and his face became incredibly pale.
Gao Shengqiang watched Zhu Qing nervously, his hands clenched into fists.
He knew this was the potion's impact on the body, and it was up to Zhu Qing's willpower and physique whether he could withstand it.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhu Qing's body trembled more and more violently.
Suddenly, he let out a painful groan, then his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.
"Zhu Qing!"
Qiu Qian waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, just a normal reaction. This guy's physique is pretty good, and his willpower is strong."
She squatted down, felt his pulse, smiled, and said, "Alright, his heart rate didn't go over two hundred. I'll take this person."
People who can withstand the test agent generally have a ninety percent chance of successfully enduring a formal injection of the high-energy Superpower Potion.
A moment later, Zhu Qing slowly got up, his face extremely pale.
"You passed. Shave your beard, and then go to the temporary outpost. I'll get you new equipment," Qiu Qian said.
Seeing Zhu Qing pass, the other team members raised their hands one after another and stepped forward.
"We want to be tested too!"
Qiu Qian emphasized again, "You might die, understand?"
Seeing that Zhu Qing had passed, those people gritted their teeth and nodded.
If they didn't take the chance now, there would be no opportunity.
This time, Qiu Qian gave injections to three people; the injectable was one hundred milliliters, but only one milliliter was pushed in each time.
This time, the three people were not like Zhu Qing; one person's body instantly went into shock as if electrocuted.
Another person, unable to endure the immense energy impact, directly bit off his own tongue, his face covered in blood, and even his mandible fractured under the immense force.
All three failed; the team member who bit off his own tongue died on the spot.
The remaining two recovered, their eyes filled with horror.
Many people got cold feet, originally thinking that if Zhu Qing could endure it, they could too, but what happened afterward was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
"Who else wants to come?" Qiu Qian asked.
At this moment, no one dared to gamble, but Gao Shengqiang, as the Commander, still took a step forward and said, "I'll do it, but I have a request: if I don't pass, just finish me off directly."
Qiu Qian's lips curved into a smile and she said, "Don't worry, if you don't pass, you'll either die immediately, or if you don't die, you can finish yourself off later.
It's just a test agent, no need to make it so tragic."
Gao Shengqiang nodded and said, "Come on, Team Leader Qiu!"
Qiu Qian injected Gao Shengqiang with the test agent, and Gao Shengqiang's body also began to tremble, his face becoming incredibly pale.
But unlike Zhu Qing, he never made any sound, nor did he lose consciousness.
He gritted his teeth, doing his utmost to resist the potion's impact.
Time passed minute by minute, and Gao Shengqiang's body trembled more and more violently, but he never gave up.
His willpower was very firm; he knew he couldn't fail, otherwise he would lose everything.
Finally, the test agent's effects wore off, and Gao Shengqiang's body gradually returned to normal.
He felt as if he had struggled back from the brink of death; he had succeeded.
Qiu Qian looked at Gao Shengqiang: "Your physique is even stronger than Zhu Qing's.
Congratulations, welcome to the Special Operations Group."
Qiu Qian extended her hand, a slight smile on her face.
Gao Shengqiang looked somewhat dazed.
He paused for a moment, then extended his hand and shook Qiu Qian's hand.
Qiu Qian's hand was very soft and warm.
At this moment, he knew he had become a member of the Special Operations Group.
The surrounding team members all looked at Gao Shengqiang, their eyes filled with envy and awe.
They all knew that Gao Shengqiang's ability to pass the test was certainly due to his strong physique.
Subsequently, no one dared to be tested.
They felt that if they could just endure for fifteen days, they could survive until the second wave of supplies, and they wouldn't die.
If they were killed by the test, it wouldn't be worth it.
Ji Wenhao was the most conflicted at this time; he wanted to be tested, but he knew his own physique.
He was not strong to begin with, and had almost failed to withstand even a light dose of the Superpower Potion, let alone this level.
Zhu Ming looked at Ji Wenhao and said, "You'd better not get tested.
This kind of pain is not something ordinary people can endure."
Ji Wenhao didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Zhu Ming gave all his supplies to Ji Wenhao.
"It was good to have met you.
Good luck," Zhu Ming smiled and patted Ji Wenhao's shoulder, but these words were extremely cruel to Ji Wenhao.
Ji Wenhao silently took Zhu Ming's supplies, his heart a mix of emotions.
He knew Zhu Ming was being kind, but this kindness made him feel even more helpless and frustrated.
He didn't have the courage to accept the test, which meant he couldn't receive the protection and help of the Special Operations Group like Gao Shengqiang and Zhu Qing.
"Thank you," Ji Wenhao said softly, his expression a bit downcast.
"We should go," Gao Shengqiang said, glancing at Ji Wenhao and the remaining team members.
"Take care."
With that, he and Zhu Qing and the others followed Qiu Qian and left.
They knew that from now on, their fates and those of Ji Wenhao and the others would be completely different.
Ji Wenhao watched Gao Shengqiang and the others' retreating figures, his heart filled with envy and helplessness.
The Special Operations Group's temporary outpost was in a bunker ten kilometers away, where backup energy was stored.
There was also a temporary command post.
As they entered, Tian Ming walked out of the bunker.
This was Tian Ming's number one clone; for most of the time, Tian Ming controlled things remotely.
There was a prior agreement that Tian Ming would not participate in combat, and even his clones would not easily show themselves.
Qiu Qian stepped forward and said, "Boss, I brought back two people who withstood the test agent.
I plan to recruit them into the Special Operations Group."
Tian Ming nodded slightly, glanced at Zhu Qing and Gao Shengqiang, and asked, "Are these them?"
"Yes, these are them," Qiu Qian nodded and said.
Zhu Qing looked at the person in front of him, feeling a bit familiar.
Even that powerful woman called him 'Boss', could he be the legendary Ability Users?
His expression became excited, and he quickly and respectfully asked, "You, are you the All-Element Ability Users?"
