Inside the control room, before Han Yuer could react, Lia rushed over and pinned her hand firmly against the Control Core!
The identification needle that sprang from the cubic core instantly pierced her palm. Almost simultaneously, a series of cold system notifications rang out:
"Beep. Native human identity verified." "Beep. Examinee Han Yuer, ID E71651, has made contact with the Control Core. Awarded 40 points!" "Beep. Warning! The exam scenario is undergoing a major change. Prevent the Rebels from obtaining the Control Core!

Bang!!
A muffled gunshot rang out. Han Yuer reached behind her with her left hand, drew her gun, and fired at Lia without hesitation.
Flame spat from the muzzle, and a burst of blood instantly stained her entire face red.
At point-blank range, the high-speed bullet tore through Lia's right hand, severing the hand she had reached toward the module.
Yet Lia seemed unable to feel pain. She roared like a wild beast and lunged to bite Han Yuer's neck.
Chen Qing's expression changed drastically. With Lia almost completely overlapping Han Yuer, he could only fire at Lia's lower abdomen as quickly as possible.
With a thunderous bang, the powerful kinetic force of the large-caliber bullet sent Lia flying backward. A cloud of blood burst in midair, and she looked like a shredded rag doll, a horrifying hole blasted through her chest.
Even with her
