A heroic spirit user's willpower might be strong.
A machine master's steel army might be fierce.
A monster controller might be mighty and terrifying when he controlled biochemical beasts and an insect swarm that filled the air.
But when a martial artist researched the secrets of spirit energy and genes to the extreme, they could release killing moves that could destroy the world and kill the heroic spirit users, machine masters, and monster controllers.
If their main bodies died, what was the use of heroic spirits, steel armies, and insect swarm beasts?
Hence, martial artists were ranked at the top of the four fighting occupations.
At the very least, it was the case for the time being.
"Martial artists …"
This time, even Meng Chao's eyes shone.
The feeling of using one's own flesh and blood to forcefully open up a golden path was something that no hot-blooded youth could ignore.
While he thought about it, the rumbling sounds from the wheels suddenly became different.
They had already crossed the railway bridge and arrived in Jiangnan Region.
The air here was even thicker than in Jiangbei. It was as if the smell of blood, steel, and smoke had gathered together, and it was like two drills that went into people's nostrils.
Many of the examinees could not help but sneeze. Then, they looked out the window with dumbfounded expressions and forgot to make a fuss.
There were thousands of armored airships hovering in the sky, and thousands of the newest tanks on the ground. They were literally a steel army.
Witnessing such a mighty army with their own eyes was completely different from watching it live on television.
"That's Huge Dragon's Might Cannon, right? It's so damn magnificent!" Some examinees could not help but curse.
Everyone ran to the side of the carriage and leaned out of the window to look.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a super cannon that was as mighty as a mountain squatted on a specially made super wide railway like a steel beast.
Huge Dragon's Might Cannon was Dragon City's ultimate weapon of intimidation.
Its barrel was 88 meters long, and when it was in combat, it was 211 meters long. It was 25 meters tall, and it weighed 7,500 tons. Each armor-piercing shell weighed 20 tons, and the explosive shell weighed ten tons. The fuel needed to propel one shell weighed from two to five tons!
After Dragon City transmigrated, due to the change in materials and spirit energy magnetic field interference, practically all cruise missiles could not be used. The accuracy of tactical missiles was also greatly affected.
Missiles needed satellites to guide them from geosynchronous orbit before they could bring out their greatest damage. Right now, Dragon City did not even have satellites, so how were they supposed to use missiles?
Without a trump card like cruise missiles, it would be very difficult to fight against the king of monsters.
Normal monsters could be killed with a steel army, but the superbeasts who were fast, had high defenses, and possessed a certain degree of intelligence usually chose to fight and run. They snuck into Dragon City to wreak havoc, and before they were surrounded by the Red Dragon Army and superhumans, they fled. It made Earthlings stomp their feet in anger, but they could not do anything to them.
Then, the Earthlings spared no expense and sent a large number of exploration teams to explore Monster Mountain Range. It was the region with the richest spirit energy, and they finally found the nest of the monster kings.
It had to be known that not all corners of the world had the right to become the nests of high-grade superbeasts.
They were the same as humans. They liked to live in "blessed lands" with beautiful scenery and a lot of resources. A good nest was the foundation for a race to reproduce. Monsters would fight to the death for nests.
These nests were mostly located in the depths of the fog. It was impossible to send an army to directly encircle and annihilate them.
Cruise missiles also lost their effectiveness. They could not accurately attack from such a long distance.
But the ancient railway guns could increase their shooting range to more than two hundred kilometers after being enhanced by the metals in the Other World and spirit energy technology.
Huge Dragon's Might Cannon was born.
If an Apocalyptic Beast dared to recklessly invade Dragon City, while Earthlings might not be able to capture it, it was still possible for them to raise Huge Dragon's Might Cannon and blast its nest to smithereens.
Of course, the creation and maintenance of Huge Dragon's Might Cannon used up countless resources. The cost of each shot was also astronomical. Before the Apocalyptic Beast was killed, there was a high possibility that the leaders of the Survival Committee would all have heart attacks.
Besides, the Apocalyptic Beast whose nest was destroyed might instantly go berserk and rush into Dragon City to die together with the Earthlings.
Hence, Huge Dragon's Might Cannon was a strategic deterrent like nuclear weapons. Aside from firing a few shots after it was just built to intimidate high-grade superbeasts, it was rarely used.
But this did not stop it from becoming the guardian of all Dragon Citizens. It was also the symbol of human civilization's most brutal heavy industry.
"Did you hear? The engineers are modifying Huge Dragon's Might Cannon. Right now, it can even fire nuclear missiles!" someone said with a strange look in his eyes.
It instantly stirred up another round of discussion.
Did Dragon City have nuclear weapons? This was a hot topic that the youngsters had been talking about for decades, and they never got tired of it.
Even though the Survival Committee, Supernatural Tower, and the higher ups of the Red Dragon Army kept it a secret, the people generally believed that it definitely had nuclear weapons.
Just the thought of a huge railway gun firing nuclear missiles made them excited.
"I really want to see the might of Huge Dragon's Might Cannon firing at full power with my own eyes!" someone said covetously.
The other examinees immediately agreed to it.
"Let's not do it," another girl said. "Once Huge Dragon's Might Cannon fires and even fires nuclear missiles, it will mean that Dragon City is facing the most dangerous situation."
Her words stirred up a series of sharp inhales. Everyone thought about it and found that it made sense. Just what sort of terrifying enemy would make Huge Dragon's Might Cannon fire?
'Let's not do it.'
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's mind. His temples stung, and the image of Huge Dragon's Might Cannon roaring appeared in his mind.
His pupils shrank swiftly, but soon, they returned to normal.
They moved past Huge Dragon's Might Cannon and drew closer to the wall formed by the fog.
The Mist was like a huge, solid wave that reached into the clouds.
No, it was not frozen. The fog squirmed slowly like a huge gaseous creature that could devour the city at any moment.
The closer they got to the edge of the city, the more space overlapped with each other. The terrain of Earth and the terrain of the Other World intersected with each other.
There were still rows of skyscrapers in front of them, but soon, lush, primitive forests appeared.
There were neat factories and streets, but soon, they ran into bottomless cracks with strange-looking plants in the Other World growing there.
Occasionally, some agile creatures crawled out of the abyss and swayed in front of the Earthlings before they crawled back into the abyss.
The sound of cannons could be heard in the fog. The endless fighting continued.
The examinees were at the frontlines of the fight for living space between humans and monsters, and their blood boiled with excitement.
"We've reached the examination area! Get off the train! Hurry up! All of you, get off the train!"
From the moment they boarded the armored train, they were placed under a military-style control.
The examinees got off in a single file and were transported by tracked military vehicles to the entrance of a factory that had been abandoned for a long time. It was torn apart and covered in vines.
There were rows of military camps around it, and well-trained soldiers surrounded the factory. They were ready for battle.
Under the command of the officer, the examinees were split into two groups: male and female. They showered and changed their clothes.
This was to check whether they had any serious wounds and to prevent them from bringing in cheating items.
They changed into camouflage uniforms that were as thin as a cicada's wings and were made of biochemical materials. They were covered in really thin wires and all sorts of ports.
Just when the examinees wondered how such thin fighting uniforms could fend against monsters, a group of soldiers with huge spray cans on their backs moved forward. They lifted a flexible tube and connected the nozzle to the chest area of the camouflage uniforms.
Shick!
The jelly-like protective gel in the spray cans was sprayed into the middle layer of the camouflage uniforms, causing them to swell up like inflatable life jackets. But they were not clumsy. Instead, they conformed to the lines of a human's muscles, which made the examinees look strong and strong.
The gel was a non-Newtonian fluid substance, so it would not affect the examinees' normal movements.
But once they ran into high-speed external attacks, such as bullets or monsters' claws, they would instantly become as sturdy as steel. Their defense was much higher than that of normal bulletproof vests.
The soldiers also installed all sorts of monitoring devices, communication devices, and cameras on the ports of the camouflage uniforms to ensure their communication and safety.
Finally, the examinees wore a small and exquisite military communicator on their wrists to give them all sorts of information about the exam.
After putting on the multifunctional helmets made of super light alloy, the examinees looked at each other and were so excited that they howled.
Beep. Soon, the display of the communicator on their wrists lit up.
They first tested the system to see whether the data connection was normal and whether the examinees' physiological parameters were connected to the main control computer.
Then, the contents of the national college examination this year popped up.
Every year, the requirement for the national college examination was to simulate a real fight. It was especially so this year. Even the notification was not about the contents of the national college examination, but about the combat mission.
[Combat mission:
[The fog to the south of Red Dragon River has retreated by ten kilometers over the past half a year, allowing our army to discover quite a number of Earth buildings hidden in the depths of the fog.
[There's a high possibility that a large number of factories have important facilities and strategic resources.
[The mission of Squad 5523 is to clear the area of the former Dawn Machine Factory and destroy all the monsters in the factory so that the factory can return to the embrace of human civilization!]
5523 was the serial number of the exam hall. When the mission information was displayed, it turned into the name of the squad.
[The area of the mission is within the walls of the former Dawn Machine Factory.
[Possible monsters: Rapid Biting Rats. Their numbers are unknown, but we suspect that there are a lot of them. A certain number of Illusion Cats. Other high-grade monsters are unknown.
