"Looks like the three of us are the only ones who can fight against each other in this exam area," Fang Da said lazily.
"That's right. I really can't find any interest in fighting against the Rapid Biting Rats and you two." Xie Feng pursed his lips.
Luo Hai turned his head around and cast a glance at the darkness in the distance. He quirked an eyebrow.
'Strange, Meng Chao didn't charge in. Could it be that I made the wrong judgment? Is he really slow?'
Luo Hai said no more. He charged in with his two competitors.
This was originally the largest workshop in Dawn Machine Factory.
But now, it was a gathering place for tens of thousands of Rapid Biting Rats.
"Squeak!"
When there were enough of them, the Rapid Biting Rats would release an astonishing fierceness and pounce on the trio with bared teeth and claws.
Bang, bang, bang!
The trio opened fire calmly. They all fired at short bursts, and each bullet could blow up a Rapid Biting Rat's head.
The cameras and infrared scanners immediately captured the images of their kills. They uploaded them through the tactical data link, and the calculations were instantly completed.
Twenty points, thirty points, fifty points, one hundred points.
The trio's points increased by leaps and bounds.
The number that represented their rank in the entire city became smaller and closer to the front.
The rules of the practical test forbade the examinees from snatching each other's prey. They were also not allowed to fight against each other, or else they would be chased out of the exam area.
Besides, there were plenty of Rapid Biting Rats here. With the amount of ammunition they brought, it was impossible for them to run out.
Hence, the atmosphere between the three elites was rather harmonious. They shot at ease and even had the mood to joke around.
"Hey, Luo Hai, tell me about that idiot from Tiger Forest Region. Why did he choose dozens of expensive hand grenades, napalm bombs, and the cheapest saber, but he didn't even get a gun or a bullet? Is he that unconfident in his shooting skills?" Fang Da said with a smile.
"His shooting skills aren't good, so he chose to bring more hand grenades. At least he knows his limits. But he still wasted a lot of points on first aid kits and field rations? Heh, that's interesting. Is he afraid of hunger or death? Tiger Forest Region sure has a lot of talented people. "Xie Feng smiled as well.
Luo Hai gritted his teeth. He said nothing and just fired fiercely.
The three elite examinees' performance was seen by the high school teachers, university recruiters, military elites, and leaders of the industry on the screen in the monitoring center.
"Fang Da's marksmanship is pretty good. As expected of the son of Eagle Eye Fang Rui."
"Every single one of his bullets entered the Rapid Biting Rats' eyeballs. He fired a total of 327 shots, and none of them missed. This is a good seedling, and we're definitely going to get him!"
"Old Xing, no one is competing with you. There's no need to put on a desperate look."
"Dragon City University has high hopes for Xie Feng. I heard that he finished practicing Raging Wave Stance when he was thirteen. During high school, he ranked at the top of the pole-standing competitions in the city for three consecutive years. No matter which university he goes to, he can become a powerful martial artist, but if he wants to reach Deity Realm, he can only go to Dragon City University's martial arts course and learn the Overkill Style!"
"Wait, what's the rush?"
Another superhuman with a sharp gaze smiled. "Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu is a saber master, but his son isn't too far ahead of Fang Da and Xie Feng with just his marksmanship. Later, when we run out of bullets and have to use cold weapons to hunt them down, we'll see just who is the king of the exam area!"
These experts looked at the immature yet ferocious little fellows in the examination hall, and they all revealed looks of admiration.
However, when they heard the three children bickering, they could not help but be curious. "Who is this Meng Chao they're talking about?"
Meng Chao's performance during the mental strength test in Tiger Forest Region was rather eye-catching.
Just now, he had chosen a large number of hand grenades, napalm bombs, medical bags, and field rations in his own way, which attracted some attention.
Immediately, a powerful fighter brought up Meng Chao's test footage and projected it on the screen along with his data.
The invigilators and powerful fighters discovered to their shock that he had not gotten a single point five minutes into the exam!
"Is this student … taking a stroll in the exam area?" someone could not help but ask.
If the examinees managed to get into the practical test, it meant that their speed, strength, and marksmanship had reached the top level on Earth.
At that moment, aside from Meng Chao, even the weakest examinee had killed more than ten Rapid Biting Rats.
Meng Chao was the only one who strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back. Occasionally, he would crouch down and grab a handful of soil or vines to sniff them carefully. He did a lot of strange things, but he did not kill them.
Just when the invigilators and powerful fighters were shocked, he started to move calmly.
He sifted through dozens of handfuls of soil and finally found a spot he was satisfied with. He swung the engineer's shovel up and down, and soon, he dug a huge hole.
Then, he tore open a bag of field rations and mixed the white sugar and chocolate inside with some of the high-calorie nutritional fluid from the first aid kit. He rolled them into small balls and tossed them into the hole.
In an instant, a large number of mutated earthworms, centipedes, and strange-looking crawlers crawled out of the cracks on the walls of the muddy hole, attracted by the sweet smell.
Meng Chao used the engineer's shovel to dig out the colorful, slightly acidic, and venomous insects. He tossed them on the ground and examined them carefully.
"What is he doing?"
The invigilators and powerful fighters looked at each other at a loss. They could not understand what was going on.
That's right. These insects could be considered as monsters, but they could be considered as well.
But killing these insects did not give him any points!
Meng Chao did not know that he had become the center of attention.
Even if he knew, he would not care.
He chose the insects he needed and brought out a lancet and suturing needle from the first aid kit. With a few cuts, he dissected dozens of the insects and harvested some materials.
Then, he used the heater from the self-heating MRE and the utensils from the first aid kit to create a simple extraction device.
He crushed the insect materials and tossed them in. He added glucose water, heated them, stirred them, and extracted them.
Half a minute later, the murky insect juice gradually shone with a crystalline blue light.
Meng Chao raised his arm so that the insect juice was as far away from his body as possible. Then, he fanned the opening of the extraction device gently.
A slightly pungent stench crawled into his nostrils.
He nodded. 'That's the smell.'
Meng Chao sealed the test tube properly before he calmly started hunting.
At that moment, most of the students had already killed dozens of Rapid Biting Rats.
Most of the elites from the three famous schools had killed more than one hundred Rapid Biting Rats.
Meng Chao did not bring any guns, so his efficiency with a saber was not high.
Besides, he seemed to have some sort of preference for Rapid Biting Rats. There were a few times when a few fat Rapid Biting Rats swaggered past him, but he ignored them. He could not be bothered to use his saber.
Another ten minutes passed, and he only killed five Rapid Biting Rats.
"This student … only kills female rats?" an invigilator asked hesitantly in the monitoring room.
The male rats were bigger. Their fur was sleeker, and their fangs were sharper.
But if they were converted into points, they would be the same.
Besides, the female rats were smaller, so it was harder to hit their vitals, which made them harder to kill.
Did this student have a grudge against female rats?
"Look, he's sitting down again!"
In the video, Meng Chao held the tails of the five female rats and searched for a dry, empty spot. He sat down comfortably and continued harvesting.
The lancet knife flew up and down like a silver butterfly. The suturing needle seemed to possess a strange magnetic force. It dug out an incredibly fine and fragile material from the depths of the female rats' abdomens.
Meng Chao tossed the slightly red material into the worm juice and injected a certain amount of Doxylamine and Teran. These were common drugs in emergency medical kits. The former could increase blood pressure, and the latter could stimulate the heart.
This time, he only heated it to around sixty degrees Celsius before he moved the heater away.
Then, he squeezed out all the sweet and greasy fried rice with meat juice from the MRE and rolled them into ten huge rice balls.
Then, he injected the semi-transparent liquid that was mixed with monster materials and worm juice into the rice balls.
Soon, the rice balls that were injected with worm juice released a strange blue light.
"What he just removed seems to be the reproductive glands of the female rats, and the worm juice has the effect of stimulating the nervous system."
At that moment, a few of the university recruiters finally figured out something. "With Doxylamine and Teran, it turns into some sort of stimulant? And it's not for humans … "
Meng Chao brought the ten rice balls with him and went to the sewage pipe in a corner of the machine factory.
Decades of sewage and mud had accumulated there, and the stench was so bad that it was nauseating.
Besides, there were traps all over the place. The seemingly dark ground might be a disaster if they stepped in.
Regardless of whether it was normal examinees or the elites from the three famous schools, none of them were willing to come here to hunt.
Besides, he could not see many Rapid Biting Rats in his field of vision.
Occasionally, he would find one or two, but before the humans could aim at them, they would run back into the sewage pipe like lightning. Bullets would not be able to catch up to them.
Meng Chao grinned and tossed the ten rice balls with added ingredients around the drainage pipe.
He was very skilled, and he made sure that each rice ball was a few meters away from each other.
Once he was done, he took two steps back and crouched down. Then, he removed all the grenades and napalm bombs and placed them in front of him.
In the distance, some of the examinees could not see the rice balls he threw. They only saw him crouching in front of the sewage pipe with his hands propping up his cheeks. They could not help but laugh in their hearts. 'Just what is this guy doing? Everyone knows that the Rapid Biting Rats are incredibly wary. You're so big, and you're standing there. Even if the rats can't see you because they're short-sighted, can't they smell you?'
'Waiting for a rabbit by a stump isn't that law-abiding. Even if they squatted there until the sun rose, not many Rapid Biting Rats would crawl out.
The examinees shook their heads and looked at the empty magazines in their hands. They decided to toss their guns to the side and draw their cold weapons to carry out the second stage of the hunt.
But the expressions of the recruiters, the powerful fighters from the military, and the leaders of the industry in the monitoring room were completely different from the examinees.
Because they noticed a large wave of Rapid Biting Rats charging madly at the sewage pipe through the infrared detectors inside and outside the sewage pipe.
It was as if Meng Chao was playing an invisible flute and using a mysterious tune to control the minds of the Rapid Biting Rats!
