Love Code At The End Of The World Book 1, Chapter 48 - Radiation Test
"Luo Bing…" Harry looked at me nervously, "That, that, that, that, that, that is the reason I call you my wife. I, I, I, I, I will take responsibility! Although you are more fierce than my mom, I, I, I, I, won't complain!"
"Go away!" I shouted. I put down the gun and turned around. I was trying very hard to control my anger.
"Waifu!"
I turned around and shot next to his ear, "Shut up!"
But the gun only shot out a ray of green light next to his ear. There were no phenomena, like piercing the wall or shooting bullets. 'So, is this just a training gun? It wouldn't hurt anyone?'
"I, it's my fault. I'm, I'm sorry!" Harry ran away hastily. *Ripp…* He tore his clothes and there were only patches of clothes left on the wall in front of me.
I held the gun for a very long time before I calmed down.
"Beautiful!" Sis Cannon shouted, "I am willing to share my men with you!"
I laughed at her response. Heh. I put down my hand, not knowing if I should cry or laugh. Who wants her men? I don't even know how to survive. I don't even have enough to eat and wear. Why would I be thinking about men?
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ The door made the opening and closing sound. Harry, don't you dare appear in front of me again! I will beat you up each time I see you!
"Princess, Elder, Luo Bing's grappling skills are rare and very amazing! Her movement is smooth and clean. No one in Noah City can compare favorably with her. I hope we can make an exception and let Luo Bing join the DR team!" Sis Ceci sounded extremely solemn and sincere as she said this.
I looked up. I wish I will get to enter Sis Ceci's DR team because, besides fighting, I don't know anything else. I can't imagine myself doing needlework if I don't get to join the DR time. Sewing up the sole of a shoe or even patching up a s.h.i.+rt is beyond my imagination.
"But Sis Ceci, what if she runs into metahumans?" Xiao Ying was suspicious, "Punches and kicks don't work on metahumans…"
"I'm asking her to teach all of you." When Sis Ceci said that, I looked at her confident smile in shock. She smiled and nodded at me. Then, she looked back at her team members and said, "All of you happen to be lacking in close combat skills. Luo Bing will become your new military officer to teach you about close combat skills!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.
"I agree!" Sis Cannon was the first to raise her hand.
"Me too!" Da Li raised her hand above Sis Cannon.
Xue Gie walked next to them and raised her hand, "Agreed."
I looked at them in surprise. My emotions were hard to describe. I was so excited that I didn't know what to do. I felt honored! It was a feeling of being trusted.
They gradually put down their hands and looked at Sis Ceci, while Sis Ceci looked at Elder Alufa, "Elder Alufa, please allow Luo Bing to join the DR special force!" Sis Ceci requested sincerely once again.
But Elder Alufa didn't reply. There was a mysterious smile on his face. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"Elder Alufa, do you have other ideas in mind?" It looked like a.r.s.enal was able to see through Elder Alufa's mind.
Elder Alufa smiled at me, "Let her sit for the radiation resistance test."
"What?" Raffles looked at Elder Alufa with a puzzled look. Sis Ceci and the others looked confused as well. Uncle Mason raised his eyebrows as he looked at Elder Alufa.
Raffles walked forward and asked, "Elder Alufa, Luo Bing is already a radiationer. There is no need to go through the radiation resistance test."
"Start from level three directly," Elder Alufu ignored Raffles and gave out a command.
Everyone was surprised by this. Even the 'always-calm' Xue Gie opened her eyes wide as they twinkled with shock.
"Level three?!" Sis Ceci and Uncle Mason exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.
"Level three... my wife can't take it!" Harry suddenly popped out once again. This b*stard went to hide up there!
"Elder Alufa, level three is the radiation volume close to the mid radiation zone. An ordinary radiationer wouldn't be able to endure this level!" Raffles was worried, "Why not, why not try from level two?"
Elder Alufa smiled and looked at me, "Luo Bing, don't be afraid. If you feel any discomfort, we will stop immediately. We wouldn't hurt you in any way. We trust you, so please trust me in return."
Somehow, I trusted Elder Alufa; he was an elder with eyes full of wisdom.
I nodded, "Alright."
"Let's begin,' Elder Alufa nodded at Raffles with a smile.
Sis Ceci and Uncle Mason looked at each other. Then, they creased their eyebrows and turned to look at me suspiciously and solemnly. Even Uncle Mason's expression became extremely serious.
I could sense that the atmosphere for this test was way different from the previous two tests. Everyone became solemn, as though the radiation resistance test was one of the most important tests, and not at all a joking matter.
Everyone was once again focusing on me, and they were looking as suspicious as Sis Ceci.
Harry leaped towards the gla.s.s and looked at me anxiously, "Waifu! Hold on! Shout immediately if you feel any discomfort!"
Pfft. My biggest discomfort is to see you!
I turned around and hugged my shoulders. The moment I thought of him… Ew! I can't take it.
*Retch!* I couldn't help but retch.
"My wife retched just now! Look! She is unwell!" Harry shouted from above.
I rolled my eyes speechlessly.
"Harry, I haven't even started," Raffles said.
"She is retching because she saw you," Sis Cannon spat the truth bluntly.
Then, it finally became quiet.
Finally, I could take the test in peace.
*Buzz.* There was a low frequency buzzing noise in the testing room. The surrounding square boxes moved back, and the walls and the ground were once again flat and smooth. At the same time, the white walls and the ground started glowing in a faint blue light.
"Radiation resistance test begins. Level three radiation volume ready. Ten, nine, eight, seven…"
The atmosphere became tense, and most of the tension resulted from the countdown.
I stood inside the testing cabin quietly and the buzzing sound vanished gradually. Besides being nervous, I didn't feel any discomfort.
"Three, two, one, activated!"
*Pak!*
The surrounding blue light s.h.i.+ned on me. I looked around and I was confused. I didn't feel anything. It was just like regular lights s.h.i.+ning on me.
In my world, everyone was afraid to even hear the word 'radiation'. If it was the old me, I would have been frightened to death. Radiation! How scary! It was colorless and tasteless. It enters your body in silence. Even if you don't feel it, you might end up with a cancerous body in no time, or maybe a mutation. In the end, you would die in agony.
But, on the first day of my arrival into this world, I was informed of being a radiationer by Xing Chanun. Radiationers were not afraid of radiation. So, I hadn't been scared back then.
