This is an abandoned factory with a dilapidated appearance.

The dark blue iron gate is covered with mottled red rust, and large areas of wall paint have peeled off, revealing the dark cement underneath.

Weeds grew haphazardly, almost covering the entire open space in front of the factory, and the sound of insects could be heard from time to time.

Obviously, no one has taken care of it for a long time.

With such an appearance, it is naturally impossible to have the kind of well-equipped training place that Nuo Lan imagined before coming here.

The development of the situation seems to be getting worse and worse.

Nuolan couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart.

I originally thought of running away after grabbing the last vote, but I didn't expect to fall into someone else's trap.

If only I could be more cautious and resist my inner desire for power.

Perhaps, his situation would not be as bad as it is now.

In fact, if you look at it objectively, you can’t blame Nolan entirely.

After all, his main purpose in One Punch World now is to improve his strength as much as possible in a short period of time so that he can deal with Ulver when he returns to the pirate world in the future.

He has spent more than half a month recovering from his injury, and this is because one arm needs to be put in a plaster cast.

There is really not much time left for Nolan.

In this case, it is unavoidable to bear some risks.

If it were any other person, put in Nolan's position at that time, I am afraid that most of them would choose to accept Cara's invitation.

If you win the bet, your strength will increase dramatically, and you may be able to fight against Ulf;

Losing the bet will only make an already difficult situation even worse.

Nuo Lan comforted herself in this way and calmed down her ups and downs.

His eyes were looking at the overgrown ruins in front of him, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

At this point, it is meaningless to think about whether his choice is reasonable. What he should really consider now is how to deal with the upcoming crisis.

Escape is naturally impossible.

Let's not talk about whether his body, which is just recovering from a serious injury, has an advantage over Carat in terms of speed.

The heavy plaster on his right hand alone was enough for him to rule out any need to consider his agility attribute.

To sum up, all Nuolan can do now is still only four words:

Be adaptable.

…

"Plop, plop."

The sound of footsteps echoed faintly, the dusty cold air clung to the skin, and the turbid environment made people frown.

The machines inside the abandoned factory have long been evacuated, leaving only a large empty space filled with dust.

The bright sunlight shines in through the narrow window, like a veil covering it, and can only illuminate part of the factory.

The overall environment seemed extremely dark and difficult to see.

Nuolan hung alone at the end of the team, deliberately keeping a short distance from the people in front.

He looks calm and relaxed on the outside, but in fact he is already tense inside.

The power of perception and the domineering power of seeing and hearing were quietly activated to the limit, alerting everything around him.

In such a strange environment, no matter how much they believed in Cara, the two students who were traveling with him could not help but feel doubts and even fear in their hearts.

Nuo Lan, whose senses were fully activated, could clearly see that the mental force fields of the two people in front of them were fluctuating violently, like two invisible whirlpools, with negative emotions spreading silently from the inside out.

"Senior brother, haven't we arrived yet?"

The male student finally couldn't suppress the growing doubts in his heart and took the initiative to ask.

Kara walked with her back to the group of people, her steps gradually slowing down quietly.

"What are you here for?"

The soft voice came from the front, and Carat's unique gentle tone seemed a bit low and hoarse against the backdrop of the spacious environment.

"Senior brother, didn't you say that you wanted to teach us new moves?"

Even the female student, who had always admired the other party, seemed to be unable to bear the increasingly weird atmosphere at this moment, and replied in a low voice.

"What is the purpose of learning new moves?"

Like a persuasive teacher, Carat guides everyone's answers in a certain direction.

"For power?"

As if she sensed something growing deep in the darkness, Nolan frowned and said.

Unconsciously, his body took two steps back.

"Haha...power..." As if she finally got the answer she wanted, Kara stopped.

Whispering, he slowly turned around, and the dim light shone on his handsome face, reflecting an indescribable and strange smile.

"Is it really that easy?" He squinted his eyes, a look of recollection on his face.

"Year after year, hard training day and night."

"Lost everything and countless precious resources."

"There is no one in ten thousand, an outstanding talent that far exceeds that of ordinary people."

"Can these... gain power?"

"Oh."

"In the end, all I gained was a body that was exhausted both physically and mentally."

Smiling softly, Kela raised his head and looked directly above his head, as if his eyes had penetrated the empty ceiling and penetrated into a deeper place.

"Human beings have their limits after all."

Even Nolan didn't notice it. Unknowingly, a black suitcase appeared in Cara's hand.

Holding the bottom with one hand and facing the three of them with the opening, Kara carefully opened the suitcase.

"Boom, boom."

They were five purple-red hematomas beating like hearts.

The uneven surface was covered with thick blood vessels, as if some kind of dark purple pus was flowing inside, exuding bursts of indescribable weird aura.

Pupils shrink suddenly!

Just by looking at it, Nolan recognized what was in front of her.

Weird cells!

In the one-punch world, there is a special definition for the word "weird":

It can be a genetic mutation of humans due to some special hobby or pressure, or it can be modified through technological means, and it can also refer to other special species other than humans.

That is to give up being a human being and completely separate from the existence of the human world.

And "weird cells" are one of the ways to transform ordinary humans into weirdos.

As one of the key elements of a certain plot in the original work, Nolan was extremely impressed by it.

In his memory, the weird cells seemed to be created by a powerful individual.

Once it is swallowed, the human body and mind will undergo great changes, becoming a monster that has completely lost its humanity and is dominated by negative emotions.

The evil force "Weirdo Association" in the original plot used this object as a foothold to expand its sphere of influence on a large scale, and even once caused the entire world to collapse.

Thinking of this, Nuo Lan couldn't help but trembled all over and raised her head suddenly.

I saw that there were already three pairs of spider-like blood-red compound eyes on Kela's handsome face.

The foul-smelling black spider silk spread silently above the ground, smiling strangely, with the corners of its mouth grinning almost to the base of the ears, revealing the jagged and ferocious teeth underneath.
