Chen Mochuan and others looked at Ding Muzhi who was chatting with strange expressions, as if they didn't expect that he was so well-informed and so daring to speak out.
After introducing five popular candidates in a row, Ding Muzhi set his sights on Zhong Xu. After careful consideration, he continued, "Actually, I think you are also very strong. You definitely have the ability to hit the top five in the province. If you are lucky enough, you might even have a chance to get the top pick."
Hearing this, Zhong Xu didn't react at all and looked very indifferent, as if Ding Muzhi was not talking about himself.
Zhong Xu behaved like this, making Ding Muzhi very helpless.
He had experienced this kind of situation more than once in his high school career. He thought that the other party looked different today than before, but he didn't expect that the result would still be like this. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Menghulu!"
At this moment, among the people in the circle, Xia Ze, who had never spoken before, said, "Actually, you missed one person----"
Ding Muzhi frowned slightly, seemingly unconvinced, "Who else could it be?" All this information was collected by someone he commissioned, so how could there be any omissions.
Xia Ze raised his hand and pointed at Chen Mochuan beside him, and said calmly, "You missed him."
Ding Muzhi was very surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about what Xia Tang said when they first met, these siblings are both from Antu, and they probably know some additional information. Combined with the impressive record of Chen Mochuan Martial Warrior, he seemed to understand something for a while.
He turned to Chen Mochuan and said with an exaggerated expression, "Brother Chen, you are so secretive!"
Chen Mochuan just smiled and shook his head, but did not answer the call or express his position.
Seeing this, the others knew that it was not convenient to delve into the matter, so they stopped asking. Instead, they tacitly brought the topic to the experience of martial arts practice and recent insights, and continued chatting.
Not long after, the time was approaching eight o'clock.
Some soldiers wearing straight military uniforms and solemn expressions reunited more than sixty Mortal Shedding candidates who were scattered in Outpost Camp.
A serious officer stood on the temporary high platform, his eyes swept across every young and energetic face in the audience like lightning, and began to preach the specific rules and important precautions of this actual combat assessment in a loud voice.
The content mainly includes:
The corresponding points that can be obtained by killing Ferocious Beast at each strength stage;
It is prohibited to use private storage treasures. During the assessment period, only the military-provided treasures, including various basic medicines,
Standard equipment package of rations and tools, otherwise it will be treated as a violation;
Vicious fights and snatching of prey between candidates for the purpose of robbing points are strictly prohibited. Violators will at least have some of their assessment points deducted, and at worst, they will not only be immediately disqualified from the assessment, but may also face subsequent severe accountability:
If you encounter an extremely dangerous situation that you cannot handle during the assessment, you can call for emergency help through the allocated Personal Terminal. However, once the distress signal is activated, you will be deemed to have given up the assessment immediately, and 30% of your current total points will be deducted at one time.
As a "give up price", the final score will be settled.
At the end, his tone became more serious than ever before, even with a hint of warning. "I believe you must have learned about it from school or various channels before coming here - this assessment has a death indicator! Wilderness Zone is not a game ground. No matter how well-prepared the military region is, there is no guarantee that each of you can return safely -"
He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his words sink into the hearts of every candidate. "So, remember, you must do what you can, don't be carried away by the points, greedy for merit and rush forward! You must know how to assess the situation, advance when you need to, and retreat when you need to! I don't want a cold corpse to be lifted out of the wilderness a few hours later."
After giving everyone in the audience some time to digest and think, he waved his hand and pointed at the weapon racks lined up next to him, "Now, according to the order of the admission ticket number, go forward and choose the weapons you are comfortable with!"
In this actual combat assessment, the weapon restrictions for candidates have been relaxed a lot, and are no longer limited to Gauntlet. Everyone can choose other conventional weapons provided by the army for self-defense according to their own habits and tactics, including knives, guns, swords, sticks, shields, etc.
Chen Mochuan saw many people choosing a shield in addition to destructive weapons, but after thinking about it for a moment, he still only picked up a pair of standard Gauntlet that he was used to, wrapped up to the forearm.
For him, this pair of "iron fists" is the most trustworthy partner, making it easier to use.
The time soon came to eight o'clock, and with the departure signal that resounded throughout the camp, the actual combat assessment officially began!
More than sixty candidates were like tigers coming out of the gate, pouring out of the camp gate in an orderly and rapid manner, and threw themselves into the vast and unknown Wilderness Zone.
The few people who were chatting together just now, after entering Wilderness Zone and walking together for a while, saying "be careful" and "good luck in the assessment" to each other, separated in a tacit understanding and started to move alone in the direction they chose.
Even the two siblings Xia Tang and Xia Ze, who have the closest relationship, looked at each other and nodded at a fork in the road before choosing different paths.
Because one of the core goals of this actual combat assessment is to examine each candidate's individual strength and independent combat ability to the greatest extent possible.
The rules not only discourage traveling together, but also provide a corresponding "punishment" mechanism.
If multiple people cooperate to kill a Ferocious Beast, the intelligent brain system responsible for monitoring and settlement will first deduct 50% of the basic kill points of the Ferocious Beast as a "punishment", and then distribute the remaining half of the points according to the proportion of each person's contribution in the battle.
The setting of this rule has greatly reduced the benefits of team hunting, and also means that if they want to obtain high scores and hit the top rankings, candidates can almost only rely on themselves to fight alone.
Chen Mochuan opened the Personal Terminal equipped by the military, called up the electronic map of the assessment area and took a glance. His current location is not too far from the starting Outpost Camp, and it is still a relatively safe "buffer zone". The strength of the surrounding active Ferocious Beast generally ranges from Tenth Rank to First Order Initial Stage.
With his current strength, he naturally looks down on the "little shrimp" whose points are not too high.
His eyes swept across the map, skipping several red areas marked with mid-level first-order Ferocious Beast and a small amount of First-Order Late Stage Ferocious Beast, and finally focused on the scarlet area at the outermost edge of the entire planned examination room and the deepest into the wilderness - [S2].
In the detailed information displayed on the map, [S2 Zone not only has a large number of First-Order Late Stage Ferocious Beast, but there are even traces of a small amount of First-Order Perfection Ferocious Beast activities. The danger level has been clearly marked by the military as the highest [extremely dangerous★★★] in the examination room.
Without any hesitation, Chen Mochuan tightened his tight-fitting standard equipment bag, quickened his pace a bit, and sprinted straight towards the [S2] area in the southeast, quickly throwing away the "safe zone" behind him.
