It Was Time to Make a Move

Lin Zichen's senses spread out and instantly filled the entire corridor.

With the amplification effect of [Danger Perception], it quickly spread to the entire third floor, providing 360-degree, blind-spot-free perception.

There are four rooms on the third floor.

In the center of each room stood a fully armed robot.

Three of the robots were covered in signs of attack.

Bullet holes, fist craters, knife marks... his body was covered in them.

However, none of the injuries were fatal; they were all superficial skin wounds.

His gaze fell on the ground, where he saw blood that had not yet congealed, broken teeth, and shattered mechanical limbs.

Most likely, one of the three teams that failed to clear the level was injured by the robot.

Judging from the marks left at the scene, the injuries appear to be quite severe.

This shows that the robots in the room are not only extremely strong defensively, but also extremely strong offensively.

"Has everyone rested enough?"

Zhao Yuanzhong at everyone and said, "Once we've rested, let's go in and find out what's going on."

Shangguan Yueying: "My body still feels numb and I can't muster any strength. Maybe I should rest a little longer."

Zhang Kai stood up from the ground, bent down to mend his arm, and said nonchalantly, "The ABC Teams, which are stronger than our team, have all been wiped out. We'll definitely be wiped out too. There's no need to rest. Let's just go in and finish this."

Zhao Yuanzhong at Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan and asked, "Where are you two?"

Lin Zichen: "Let's go in now."

Shen Qinghan: "I also agree that we should go in now."

Zhao Yuanzhong: "The minority shall obey the majority, so let's go in now."

After making the decision.

All five of them got up from the ground, braced themselves, and prepared to enter the room on the third floor.

"I'm going to open the door and go inside."

Zhao Yuanzhong walked to the door, placed his hand on it, and made a gesture as if to push the door open and enter.

Lin Zichen: "Let's open it."

Zhang Kai: "Stop dawdling, hurry up and drive."

"Creak--"

Zhao Yuanzhong pushed open the door in front of him.

Then, what came into view was a metal room filled with bunkers, and a robot standing motionless in the center of the room.

The robot is larger than an average adult male.

The height is estimated to be around 2.5 meters.

The body is made of pure alloy.

He had machine guns mounted on his arms, Anti-Airflow Propulsion Device on his feet, and a large machete strapped to his back.

They look to have high combat strength.

Upon seeing the robot, Zhang Kai immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap, that's so cool!"

Zhao Yuanzhong, however, was on high alert. "Is this robot our opponent in the third level?"

Do you think there might be a driver inside?

Shangguan Yueying looked at Shen Qinghan beside her and asked.

Shen Qinghan shook her head. "I don't know."

Lin Zichen remained silent, quietly observing the robot in front of him and using his senses to peer inside.

It's all mechanical and electronic parts.

There is no driver inside the robot.

"Click! Click! Click..."

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from inside the robot.

The moment the sound rang out.

A strange red light shone in the robot's dim eyes.

Then, it suddenly raised its arms, which were loaded with machine guns, and opened fire on the five men.

"Da! Da! Da..."

This sweeping action happened in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, all five were very vigilant, and the moment the robot raised its arms, they immediately found cover and hid.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The bullet struck the metal bunker, producing a deafening thud.

In just a brief moment, the seemingly indestructible metal bunker was riddled with craters, leaving behind a large number of shocking bullet holes.

"It's an armor-piercing round!"

Zhao Yuanzhong shouted a warning, "Everyone be careful not to get shot, or your bones will be pierced!"

Even without him reminding them, everyone understood this.

They all huddled tightly behind their cover, waiting for the robot to run out of armor-piercing ammunition.

However, the robot had plenty of ammunition.

They continued firing for almost half a minute, and the firepower showed no signs of weakening.

In fact, it's getting increasingly fierce.

The metal bunker, less than 20 centimeters thick, couldn't withstand such a long period of armor-piercing rounds and was showing signs of being penetrated.

"That robot has way too much ammunition!"

"This can't go on!"

"We must take the initiative and launch an attack before the bunker is destroyed, using its cover as cover!"

Zhao Yuanzhong shouted to the people around him.

He was practically shouting at the top of his lungs.

The sound of armor-piercing projectiles hitting metal bunkers was so loud that no one could hear them unless they shouted.

"How about we forfeit? The first three teams all failed, we have no chance of passing."

Shangguan Yueying suggested.

She didn't want to get hurt; she just wanted to end this camp Camp Entrance Assessment as soon as possible.

Zhao Yuanzhong: "No matter how slim the chances of passing the test are, we can't give up, otherwise we'll definitely get a severe scolding from the instructors when we get out."

Zhang Kai disagreed, saying, "I think we should choose to abstain."

After saying that, he continued, "When faced with an invincible enemy, our first priority should be to preserve our lives, not to knowingly go and die knowing there is no chance of survival."

"Only a fool would do that."

"Only by living can we continue to play a role; if we die, we're nothing, and all the country's investment in us will be wasted."

In conclusion, I believe that abstaining was the right choice.

"Not only will you not be criticized afterward, you might even receive praise from the instructor."

Zhang Kai's statement was reasonable, well-founded, and convincing.

However, that's a bit of a misrepresentation.

This is Camp Entrance Assessment, not a real battlefield, so there is no reason to withdraw.

Zhao Yuanzhong knew Zhang Kai was using a fallacy of equivocation and directly retorted, "This is just Camp Entrance Assessment. At most, you might get a minor injury. What right do you have to forfeit your right?"

Zhang Kai ignored him and turned to look at Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, asking, "Zichen, Xiao Shen, what do you think?"

Lin Zichen: "I'll listen to Hanhan."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qinghan said, "Why don't we give it a try? Maybe we can pass the level."

It guarantees you can complete the game.

With Lin Zichen around, it's impossible to fail to pass the level.

However, Shen Qinghan couldn't say it so bluntly.

I could only feign hesitation and tell everyone that I would give it a try.

Seeing that Shen Qinghan said she wanted to try, Zhao Yuanzhong's lips curled up, and he looked at Zhang Kai and shouted, "I, Shen Qinghan, and Lin Zichen all agree to try. The vote is 3 to 2, and the minority must obey the majority!"

Seeing this, Zhang Kai had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Yuanzhong began to formulate an attack plan, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Lin Zichen and I are in the best condition, so we'll be responsible for attacking the robots. Zhang Kai is in worse condition, so he and the two girls will be responsible for providing cover. What do you all think?!"

"No objections!"

"I have no objection either!"

"..."

Everyone agreed to the attack plan.

After everyone agreed, Zhao Yuanzhong shouted loudly:

"Start the operation!"

The moment he finished speaking, he seized the opportunity and approached the robot from the left.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen tacitly flanked from the right flank.

Zhang Kai, a Mechanical Cyborg, promptly launched special smoke grenades from behind to provide cover for the two.

The purple smoke emitted by the smoke bomb can effectively shield the robot from heat.

Shen Qinghan and Shangguan Yueying were not idle either.

The former allows for remote control of the liquid inside the robot.

The latter was trying to create a commotion to attract the robot's attention and draw its fire.

Under the cover of the three men.

Soon, Zhao Yuanzhong and Lin Zichen successfully approached the robot.

Zhao Yuanzhong gestured to Lin Zichen, signaling him to join in.

Lin Zichen nodded, indicating that he understood.

1!

2!

3!

Zhao Yuanzhong raised three fingers in succession, then made an "up" sign, and then charged forward, his target the robot in front of him.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Zichen also unleashed his Ordinary Rank 8 speed and charged towards the robot.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yuanzhong slammed his fist into the robot's head, producing a sharp, resounding impact.

Then, a sound of "Ah!" rang out.

Zhao Yuanzhong felt his finger bones shatter, and cried out in pain, his face contorted in agony.

The robot's head is extremely hard; Ordinary Rank 8 force cannot cause it any effective damage.

"Bang!"

Soon another sound rang out.

Lin Zichen kicked the robot in the waist, making it twitch.

But it was just a slight movement and did not cause any real damage.

Having just reached the Ordinary Rank 8 strength, he was completely outmatched by the robot, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"This robot is at least at the peak of Ordinary Rank 8. We can't break through its defenses at all right now. We need to recover our stamina first!"

Zhao Yuanzhong, who had retreated behind cover, shouted loudly at Lin Zichen.

He was shocked too many times during the second stage, which damaged his muscles. He hasn't fully recovered and can't perform at his best.

His current plan is to stall the robot for a while, and then try to launch another attack once he has recovered some of his strength.

Just as he was thinking about these things.

The robot lowered its arms and stopped firing, then drew its large cleaver from its back and switched to melee mode.

"Buzz!"

A loud popping sound rang out.

The robot activated the two Anti-Airflow Propulsion Device under its feet, and in a flash, it rushed in front of Zhao Yuanzhong and slashed at him with its sword.

"Grass!"

Zhao Yuanzhong cursed and reacted swiftly, dodging the knife by sidestepping.

The metal bunker behind him wasn't so lucky; it was cleaved in two with a single strike.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Yuanzhong broke out in a cold sweat.

"Buzz!"

Another loud popping sound rang out.

The robot shifted its target, suddenly rushing towards Lin Zichen and slashing at him with its blade.

Lin Zichen reacted extremely quickly, dodging the blade before it could fall.

"Buzz!"

The robot flashed forward again, charging towards Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan wasn't fast enough to dodge.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zichen immediately flashed forward and delivered a flying kick, sending the robot back two body lengths and causing it to miss its target with a single strike.

"Buzz!"

The robot, having adjusted its position, immediately rushed towards Shangguan Yueying, who was nearby, and chose to attack her.

Its attacks are designed to be evenly distributed, avoiding continuous attacks on the same person.

"Careful!"

Zhao Yuanzhong shouted.

At the same time, he suddenly exerted force with his calves, and his whole body shot out like a cannon.

Then, with a loud "bang," it slammed heavily into the robot, sending it flying several body lengths and successfully rescuing Shangguan Yueying.

After adjusting itself, the robot charged at Zhang Kai on the other side, knife in hand.

Zhang Kai was clever; he immediately rolled into the purple smoke not far away, shielding the robot from its thermal sensors and causing it to lose its target.

"Captain, we can't beat this level, let's just give up!"

Shangguan Yueying didn't want to play anymore and wanted to surrender.

Zhao Yuanzhong recalled the scene of the robot splitting the cover in two with a single strike, and felt a lingering fear in his heart.

But after thinking it over, unwilling to give up, he shouted to Shangguan Yueying, "Let's try one last time. If it still doesn't work, then we'll give up!"

"Alright!"

Shangguan Yueying reluctantly agreed.

The other three had no objections and agreed to try it one last time.

Soon.

The five of them worked together seamlessly once again.

Launch an attack on the robot.

However, before they could organize themselves, the robots launched an attack on them first.

Suddenly, a valve opened on the robot's chest, revealing a suction device that instantly sucked in all the surrounding purple smoke.

Without the purple smoke obstructing it, the robot's thermal sensors were fully restored.

"Buzz!"

A whooshing sound rang out.

The robot unleashed unprecedented speed, brandishing its knife and charging towards Shen Qinghan, the greatest threat to it.

It could clearly sense that Shen Qinghan could manipulate the various liquids within its body, causing considerable trouble for its operation.

"Careful!"

Zhao Yuanzhong shouted a reminder.

As he spoke to warn him, he suddenly took a step forward and rushed towards the robot at top speed to stop it from attacking Shen Qinghan.

However, the robot was too fast; he couldn't save it in time.

"It's over!"

Zhao Yuanzhong.

Zhang Kai and Shangguan Yueying felt the same way.

Just when all three thought Shen Qinghan was about to be slashed by the robot.

Lin Zichen appeared just in time to Shen Qinghan's side, pulling her away and allowing her to narrowly escape the knife attack.

The three people who witnessed this scene were all shocked. Lin Zichen's speed was incredibly fast!

"Buzz!"

The familiar popping sound rang out again.

This time, the robot shifted its target to Lin Zichen, leaping high into the air and raising its large cleaver to slash at him.

Faced with this explosive strike, Lin Zichen didn't dodge at all, but instead raised his hand and threw a powerful punch.

He felt that was about right.

It's time to clear the game.

"Bang!"

A loud bang was heard.

Lin Zichen's fist slammed hard into the robot's chest.

He sent him flying with a single punch.

It slammed into the ceiling with a "bang".

They smashed a hole in it.

His head smashed through the ceiling, and half of his body was stuck up there, teetering on the verge of falling.

Below the ceiling.

Zhao Yuanzhong, Zhang Kai, Shangguan Yueying were all stunned.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

What's going on?

A simple punch sent the robot flying?

How is that possible?!

Hallucination, it must be a hallucination!

Or he's dreaming!

None of the three wanted to believe what they were seeing.

PS: One more update is coming, around 3 PM.
