At this moment, other than a few students who were focused on resisting the radiation, everyone, including Wang Zhong, was curiously sizing up the restricted area around them.
It was said that the Disorderly Burial Lake Region was an extremely prosperous leisure resort in Tianjing City before the Great Cataclysm. There was also a beautiful Tianjing Lake Region. However, following the invasion of dimensional energy, this region was completely abandoned and became a C rank restricted area.
Amidst the messy shrubbery, one could occasionally see traces of humans from the old era. There were broken stone tablets and stone chairs overgrown with weeds. In fact, everyone could even see a tall building that was over twenty stories tall. However, it was already covered in moss and vines. One could only vaguely make out its past identity from the decaying walls exposed by the vines. From time to time, there would be flocks of strange mutated birds flying out of the windows of the buildings surrounded by vines, letting out ear-piercing screeches. The screeches echoed in the air of this abandoned, decaying land filled with dark green haze, adding a sense of unpredictability to this quiet area.
The restricted area had always been a paradise for adventurers. Due to the massive amount of mutated life forms present, many mercenary organizations and even refugees would choose to come here to hunt mutated life forms. They would sell their corpses and mutated crystals to the government or various powers that needed them in exchange for the resources they needed. Other than that, there were also many government departments that engaged in scientific research that would often choose to come to the restricted area to do some research. For example, there were dimensional scientists that researched dimensional energy or biologists that researched mutated life forms.
Admittedly, such a place was filled with danger. However, it was also filled with an enormous amount of vitality and future. Ever since the advent of dimensional energy, mankind's research into the new scientific system had obtained a lot of valuable original research materials from these restricted areas that were scattered all over the world.
Danger would always be directly proportional to opportunity, regardless of whether it was in the old era or now …
The off-road vehicle had entered the restricted area for around four to five kilometers. However, it did not encounter any attacks from mutated beasts. Clearly, this small stretch of road had been specially cleared.
After slowly advancing for another 30-40 minutes, a moderately sized campsite appeared in front of them. The vehicle finally came to a stop, and within the campsite, there was a small team of around 20 people, surrounding 17 to 18 tents. Around them were sturdy defences that could be dismantled, and in the middle of the campsite was a large screen Skylink receiver, displaying the entire area of the restricted area.
It couldn't be said to be very advanced, nor was it very large in scale. However, although it was small, it had all the essentials. An inland city like Tianjing didn't even have a large-scale army stationed there, and military resources were relatively scarce. To be able to prepare to this extent in just a short half a month, including a map of the entire Forbidden Zone, was something only Grace could do. If not, even Tianjing's government might not be able to do it.
Grace didn't allow this group of students to rest or make any adjustments. Instead, she sent everyone's location information to the large screen in the middle of the camp. After which, she carefully verified it.
"When the effective range is around 25 kilometers, your Skylink will be able to receive the token's signal. Remember, every team must have a token, or the entire team will be eliminated." Grace made her final instructions. "If you can't survive, you can send a signal. It will be displayed here, and I will immediately arrange for rescue. However, don't expect rescue to arrive immediately. It's best to leave at least two hours of time for rescue."
As she spoke, the Markis brothers beside her shook their heads helplessly. Their captain was still too soft-hearted when dealing with these little fellows. When it came to the army, there was no need to speak so much nonsense. If they died, then so be it. The earlier they died, the earlier they could reincarnate, so as to avoid being a burden to their teammates. Furthermore, it wasn't a good thing to leave them with the hope that they could wait for rescue in the face of danger.
Just like in the OP, the greatest difference between the elite division and the heroic division didn't lie in their soul power grassos. Instead, it lay in their combat techniques, combat awareness, and combat intent. Tianjing Academy's foundation was actually pretty good. It was just that their lives were too easy and comfortable. Just relying on the first phase of the group training would at most cause them to suffer a little. If they didn't use true life and death experiences to grind away the sheltered atmosphere of this group of students, then they wouldn't even have the slightest bit of competitiveness in the outside world.
"If you're ready, then set off by yourselves. We don't allow anyone to spend the night here." Grace waved her hand. At this moment, there was no need for superfluous rallying cries. She had already said more than enough.
Originally, she had the confidence that this group of little fellows would be more fully prepared and become stronger before participating in this ultimate training. However, the frontlines had suddenly made an urgent move. She was at her wit's end. Now, she could only hope that this group of little fellows could rely on themselves to charge through this hurdle.
"Captain Scarlet, I hope that Black Rose will have a good harvest. I'm looking forward to it." Reeves took the initiative to greet Scarlet. "Among us, the captain will be decided."
Obtaining the mission item was the condition to pass the test. The individual killing of the mutated lifeforms was the standard to advance. Even if the two large squadrons were to successfully pass the test, it was impossible to guarantee that every member of their squadron would advance to the final ten. Even if one party hunted more than the other, the gathering of resources among the ten members would still have a large impact on the final result of advancing. This test seemed simple, but in reality, it contained many aspects of squadron management and leadership. Reeves spoke with a heroic spirit.
This sort of challenge was exactly what he liked. Regardless of whether it was a battle of wits or courage, no matter what was said, Saint Judgement's position as the number one large society was unquestionable. As for trash like Lu Zhan Tian, he was merely a means of governance and wasn't part of his trump card. There was always a need for someone to do the dirty work.
Scarlet smiled faintly. "We're a whole. It's still unknown who will be the captain."
Reeves smiled confidently. He didn't argue and led Saint Judgement's squadron into the route.
"You really know how to act!" Emily curled her lips. She didn't like Saint Judgement, who had repeatedly provoked the Prodigy Society. However, she knew that there was no value in wasting her breath on such people.
This battle was clearly unfair to the Prodigy Society, but there was no other way. In fact, many people felt that it was a problem whether or not the Prodigy Society would be able to obtain the token to pass the test. With the overall strength of a five-man squadron, entering the core region would undoubtedly be much more difficult than a ten-man squadron, not to mention the number of mutated lifeforms they could hunt.
However, the five-man squadron, including the weakest Barran, clearly didn't consider this problem. On the contrary, they appeared to be in high spirits.
Scarlet originally wanted to travel together with the Prodigy Society and help each other out. However, the three squadrons had to travel in three different directions. This was one of the rules.
"Wang Zhong, I hope that you can smoothly complete the test!" Scarlet said from the bottom of her heart. She felt that Wang Zhong's future would be very big and he shouldn't stop here.
Wang Zhong smiled. "We'll enter the CHF together!"
