Danger? Pressure? Fear? NONONO！
The pressure in the C Grade restricted region wasn't that great. After all, they were only here to survive, not to resist or exterminate. Furthermore, they could still run if they encountered powerful mutated beasts. Especially after the appearance of the KD Heavy Industries' weapons, everyone's confidence grew to an unprecedented level.
Now, everyone was extremely excited. Even a few of the more cautious ones were stirred up by this atmosphere.
They had been training the entire day. Truthfully speaking, they had long lost interest in it. What they wanted the most was to have a real fight in a place like this. This was true training. Furthermore, with so many people and powerful weapons, what could stop them?
Indeed, Hymin's choice was slightly out of his expectations. However, it didn't matter much. Although there would be a small variable, it wouldn't affect the overall situation. Everything was under his control. At this moment, he was increasingly looking forward to the life of hunting and killing in the Disorderly Burial Lake Region.
The armored vehicle sped along. After over five hours of driving, everyone finally arrived at the restricted region closest to Tianjing — the Disorderly Burial Lake Region.
As a B Grade restricted region, one could see the difference between this region and other places from a distance.
Mysterious dimensional energies were gathered here under the influence of a peculiar law, forming a dark grey hemispherical region with a diameter of roughly 300 kilometers. The inside and outside were clearly two different colors, as if they were two different worlds.
Ordinary people definitely couldn't enter the restricted region. Even if it was a C Grade restricted region, the radiation contained in the dimensional energy was far more intense than in the wilderness outside. It was at least two to three times denser. This could be seen with the naked eye from the obvious color difference between the two regions.
As the vehicle got closer and closer, all the students couldn't help but feel excited and nervous. Everyone had heard quite a bit about the various restricted regions, but just like their first time seeing the refugee camp, it was a first for them to see and experience it with their own eyes. Everyone quietened down and stared at the barrier that was getting closer and closer.
The instant the off-road vehicle passed through the barrier, all sorts of sensations immediately appeared.
First was the feeling of their bodies sinking. The oncoming wind pressure instantly increased by more than two to three times. The density of the dimensional energy, or the dark matter that filled the air, was clearly higher than that of the air outside. It made people feel that the air resistance had clearly increased as they moved at high speeds in the vehicle. Furthermore, the gravitational force from the ground had also increased, almost to the extent of double gravity.
The second was breathing. The air here was filled with a trace of sourness and a little corrosive. When one was not used to it at first, every breath felt as if a knife was scraping the nasal cavity. But the amazing thing was that when this sulfuric acid like air was breathed into the lungs, it did not cause any damage to the lungs. Instead, it felt extremely refreshing from the inside.
The second most important factor was the radiation that permeated the entire region. Such a thing existed all over the world. The only difference was the degree of concentration of the radiation. The cities and towns of the Freedom Federation were protected by rune arrays, so the radiation was the thinnest. Even ordinary people wouldn't be able to sense it. Next was the vast wilderness. Ordinary people might feel uncomfortable or even mutate after staying for a long time, but new humans wouldn't feel anything.
However, it was different in the restricted region. Practically everyone immediately felt an itch on their skin, and this was only the surface. What was even more frightening was the fact that the radiation could actually penetrate through the skin and into the human body. Their size was too small, as small as the molecules or even atoms of the old era. Yet, they possessed an extremely powerful destructive and assimilative nature.
The effects of soul power immediately became apparent. The energy from the soul sea was stimulated by the radiation and automatically protected the body, rapidly expelling the 'invading elements' from the body.
"It's hard to avoid the itch on the skin. It's best not to scratch it. The more you scratch, the more itchy it will become. Otherwise, it's common for you to scratch your skin or even your flesh." Seated in the three vehicles, Grace and Marcus did their best to guide the rookies that had just entered the restricted region. "Soul power will automatically expel the invading radiation from the body. However, you have to pay attention to your own emotions and control your soul power. If you panic, it'll be very easy to consume a large amount of soul power. Endure it. After two or three days, your body will get used to it. When that time comes, it'll be much easier. "
Although it was easy to say, it wasn't easy to accomplish. The itch on the skin was still manageable, as they weren't ordinary people. Although it was very uncomfortable, they still had some self-control, mainly in the aspect of soul power control.
Without personally entering the dimensional forbidden zone, and without personally experiencing this level of radiation with their bodies, the vast majority of new humans who possessed Soul Power would find it hard to control the consumption of Soul Power to a balanced range to resist the radiation.
Generally speaking, if one had good control, such consumption could be completely smoothed out with normal recovery speed. However, if it was excessive consumption, it would be a huge problem. Not only would they lose their combat strength due to soul power exhaustion, when the time came and they lost the protection of soul power, just the radiation alone would be enough to cripple or even kill a new human.
The fearsomeness of the forbidden region's radiation could be seen in any relevant textbooks, and the method to control soul force wasn't some secret either. However, even though everyone had long since made mental preparations, to the extent where they had even experienced two or three times the amount of radiation in a laboratory, when they sat in a laboratory compared to the bumpy vehicle in the forbidden region, regardless of whether it was their physiological state or mental state, there was still an enormous difference.
After entering the restricted region, almost half of the people still felt the pressure from this aspect. Quite a few of them were unable to leisurely observe the changes in the scenery around them. All of them did their best to calm their emotions, closing their eyes and making the best use of their remaining time to adapt to everything.
It had to be said that the first stage of training had cured everyone's greenhouse disease, allowing them to calmly deal with everything.
Wang Zhong's situation was still alright. Within the five-man group, other than Barran, who was frowning, the other four appeared to be more relaxed. Be it Emily, who was born in a small aristocratic family, or Grai, who hid his abilities, their fine control of soul power was far from what ordinary students could compare to. There was no need to talk about Wang Zhong, as fine control of soul power was his specialty. Furthermore, with his terrifying soul sea, he simply wasn't afraid of any form of consumption.
Hymin, on the other hand, was rather special. She gently patted Barran's shoulder, causing him to immediately feel an ice-cold sensation spreading throughout his body. Although this low temperature wasn't able to completely isolate the invasion of the radiation, it was clearly able to weaken a portion of it. Barran immediately felt the pressure on his body lighten, and even the slight itchiness on his skin had stopped due to the cool feeling.
"Thank you, senior sister Hymin!"
"Don't say such useless things. Call me big sister Hymin!" said Hymin with a faint smile. She was also expressing her sincerity towards this group.
