Soon, the morning exam began. The first subject was History of God Change.
The God Change calendar started counting years from the day of the God Change. It was now the year 986 of the God Change calendar, which had a history of nearly a thousand years.
Lin Zhen was very familiar with this history.
986 years ago, it was still the year 2026 of the Christian calendar. A meteor shower from the constellation Leo descended on Earth.
The people who were watching the meteor shower in high spirits soon noticed something strange.
These meteors were different from the flashes of light that streaked across the sky. They were heading straight for Earth. Tens of thousands of meteors crashed into the earth's surface. There were even more meteors before they entered the atmosphere, smashing most of the communication satellites into pieces.
The largest meteor had a diameter of several hundred kilometers. This process caused natural disasters. Landslides, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and countless other disasters followed one after another.
Earth had no power to resist. Humans cried out in grief during the disaster. Earth's population also decreased sharply, from a peak of seven billion to three billion.
After the disaster, the people who were preparing to rebuild their homes were shocked to find that Earth had undergone a huge change.
All life forms, whether they were humans, animals, or even plants, were infected by an unknown gas and changed.
Humans' potential increased, and they began to become more powerful. Some people could jump onto roofs, some could move cars with their bare hands, and some could even control bullets to fly.
The changes to animals were even more shocking. The small insects died immediately, while the slightly larger ones evolved and gained all kinds of abilities. Their bodies also underwent a huge change.
Rats became the size of wild dogs, and they chased humans in groups to devour them.
Sparrows and swallows became the size of eagles, and they also began to devour flesh.
Fish in the water grew sharp teeth and could even go ashore.
As for the animals that were once large, they were even more terrifying. Pythons that were dozens of meters long could swallow cars, and eagles in the sky became the size of fighter jets. Even real fighter jets were no match for them.
Tigers in the forest could overturn tanks, and tall bears couldn't even be killed by cannonballs.
Moreover, the intelligence of these beasts had greatly evolved, and they began to attack humans in groups. From then on, the battle between humans and beasts began.
Humans had once been forced to the point where they practically had no room for survival. Firearms were less and less effective against monsters. It was only when humans perfected the martial arts system and powerful fighters appeared nonstop that the situation gradually turned around.
Today, there were less than two billion people on Earth. Most of the countries had been completely destroyed. Only China, America, the European Union, the African Union, India, Russia, and Brazil still existed.
Of course, these countries were also filled with foreigners. For example, in the Indian region, there were people from many countries, including the Christian calendar. People from all ethnic groups gathered together, but the Indians were the dominant group.
Furthermore, each country did not have as large a territory as before. People were holed up in their respective base cities, barely managing to survive.
The land, sky, and sea of the past were all monsters' playground.
People began to believe in the existence of the gods. The evolution of mankind was the grace of the gods, and the predicament of mankind was the might of the gods. Therefore, on the day of the Leonid meteor shower, people named it the Day of Divine Change.
For the last thousand years of the Divine Transformation era, countless wars had occurred and countless heroic deeds had been recorded. Historical knowledge was rich and had officially become a subject of study.
Lin Zhen sat in the exam room, writing rapidly.
"The Day of Northern Base Establishment … Year 475 of the Divine Change era, the hero Yan Qiye slew the Red Flame Tiger King in Xiao Xing 'an Mountain. He also worked with the Gun King Chen Chong to kill the monster in the Heavenly Lake of Changbai Mountain, ensuring that the Northern Base was not lost …"
"Year 398 of the Divine Change era, the epoch-making Genetic Evolution Fluid was successfully developed. Every warrior had to undergo genetic evolution, and the effect of the evolution depended on the individual's talent …"
"Year 622 of the Divine Change era, the first war between humans broke out. The War of the Black Sea between Russia and the European Union. Many warlords participated in the war."
Lin Zhen answered one question after another. About half an hour later, he put down his pen.
"I'm done. I can't say I got full marks on this paper, but I got at least ninety-five. Although cultural studies are not that important anymore, I can't ignore them. Ignorance is not a good thing."
After finishing the history exam, Lin Zhen left the exam room. He ate something on the way and saw Mengdong again.
Mengdong didn't seem to do very well, but Lin Zhen knew that he passed, so he wasn't worried. Soon, the next exam began.
There were only two subjects in cultural studies. The second subject was mutant beasts.
If one wanted to become a warrior, they had to have some understanding of mutant beasts. Although it was suspicious of being an armchair strategist, if you didn't even know the basics, then you would be the first one to die when facing a mutant beast in the future.
Lin Zhen dared to say that even the teachers in the school couldn't compare to him in terms of understanding of this subject. After all, Lin Zhen had experienced too many things and killed too many mutant beasts with his own hands to count.
"Mutant sheep, low-level mutant beast. Classified as E class. Relatively low intelligence. Attacks mainly by ramming. Able to resist handgun type firearms. The best way to attack is to cover it with heavy firepower. Recommended for warriors to kill it from the side. Weak point is its abdomen."
"Mutant wild boar, D-class mutant beast. Strong resistance to firearms. No obvious weak point. Recommended to attack from below its neck. Best effect is to cut the blood vessels."
"Mutant owl, C-class mutant beast. Fast speed. Appears at night …"
This time, Lin Zhen was even more proficient in answering the questions. Very quickly, he finished the test and left the examination hall.
After a while, Mengdong came out. The two of them waited for the exam results together.
After a while, the results were shown on the electronic screen in the exam room.
First place: An Ning. Total score: 197. History: 97. Mutant beast knowledge: 98.
Second place: Lin Zhen. Total score: 195. History: 95. Mutant beast knowledge: 100.
Seeing Lin Zhen's results, Mengdong said excitedly, "Well done, Lin Zhen. You actually got second place. Although this is not the only criterion for the Martial Arts School to recruit people, but for people with the same grades, those who get first place in the cultural class will be given priority. Also, because of the physical condition of girls, they will not participate in the three physical tests. An Ning also has to take the civil service exam in the base city. You are the actual first place."
Lin Zhen said, "You are also good. You passed two subjects. Now you are qualified to take the three physical tests."
"Hehe, I have some confidence in the physical test. These cultural classes give me a headache. Now I don't have to memorize anymore."
Soon all the results came out. Most people passed smoothly. The physical test in the afternoon was about to begin.
