For the next two days, Lin Huang slowly got used to life in the training camp that was similar to a prison.
Here, communication signals and network signals were completely blocked. There was no way to contact the outside world and they could not receive any messages from the outside world.
Every single corner of the foothold was monitored. There was not even a single blind spot. Lin Huang and the rest were monitored 24 hours a day, including when they went to the toilet, showered, and slept. They had no privacy at all.
Breakfast was from 8 am to 8: 30 am every day. After that, they were given an hour of free time.
From 9: 30 am to 5: 30 pm, they were given eight hours to kill monsters in the training tower.
Dinner was from 5: 30 pm to 6 pm. After that, they were given an hour of free time.
From 7 pm to 10 pm, they were given three hours to kill monsters in the training tower.
After 10 pm, it was time to rest.
Time flew by, and two days had passed.
After breakfast, during their free time, a ringtone that sounded like a ringtone came from the loudspeaker. About half a minute later, the music stopped and a man's voice was heard.
"Everyone, gather at the place of execution in ten minutes!"
Lin Huang was confused, "What happened?"
"Today is the day of the public execution …" Xiao Mo explained softly, "Everyone has to be there to watch."
"You mean, the three people who are ranked at the bottom of the leaderboard will be executed?" Of course, Lin Huang knew about the rule, but it was his first time encountering it. "Are we really going to execute them in front of so many people?!"
Lin Huang had read the rules earlier. In the training camp, they would be ranked according to the points system.
In the training tower, killing monsters would earn one point.
Iron-level rank-1 would earn one point, rank-2 would earn two points, and rank-3 would earn four points.
Bronze-level rank-1 would earn 10 points, rank-2 would earn 20 points, and rank-3 would earn 40 points.
Silver-level rank-1 would earn 100 points, rank-2 would earn 200 points, and rank-3 would earn 400 points.
Gold-level rank-1 would earn 1,000 points, rank-2 would earn 200 points, and rank-3 would earn 400 points.
The points could be used to exchange for the resources that one wanted, including combat skills, Life Skills, equipment, and food.
Moreover, the ranking would be sent to everyone's Emperor's Heart Ring through the local network every day.
It was said that on the leaderboard, those who were ranked in the top three for 100 consecutive days or those who had broken through to the Gold Level would become the Purple Crow's reserve members.
As for those who were ranked in the bottom three after ten days, they would be publicly executed.
"The public execution is to keep everyone on their guard." Xiao Mo explained. Seeing that the others were about to leave, he urged, "Let's hurry up too. If we're late, we'll be punished."
The two of them followed the crowd to another building in this small stronghold. It was a huge ring-shaped venue.
Apart from an open space the size of a football field in the center of the venue, it was surrounded by chairs. At a glance, it could probably accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Lin Huang and Xiao Mo quickly found their seats. The tens of thousands of empty chairs in the hall were almost full. Only then did Lin Huang realize that there were more people in this training camp than he had imagined.
"There are actually so many people …"
"We don't have that many people in this training camp. There are a total of 13 training camps in Division7. Ours is only ranked 11th, "Xiao Mo explained immediately when he heard Lin Huang's exclamation.
"There are 13 training camps?!" Lin Huang initially thought that it was the only training camp in Division7. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had underestimated the Purple Crow organization.
"Shh …" Xiao Mo gestured for him to keep quiet. He then lowered his voice and said, "The public execution is about to begin. Don't talk."
Lin Huang nodded and did not say anything. He looked down at the venue and saw that there were people entering.
The noisy venue immediately quietened down. Obviously, everyone understood this rule.
At the entrance of the venue, three young men in green uniforms were pushed in. Their faces were pale.
Behind them, there were three executioners in black uniforms.
Three youths in green uniforms slowly walked to the center of the venue below. A man in a black uniform and sunglasses walked up with a sealed box in his hands.
"What are they doing?" Lin Huang asked in a low voice.
"They're drawing lots to choose the method of death," Xiao Mo explained softly.
Lin Huang fell into silence and continued to look down.
The three young men in green uniforms trembled as they reached into the sealed box and took out a wooden sign.
"Tell us your name, ranking, and the method of death you've chosen." The man in sunglasses who was in charge of drawing lots put down the box in his hand and took out a palm-sized loudspeaker shell. He then handed it to the first young man in green uniform.
The shell of the loudspeaker shell opened and extended a slender antenna toward him. It was not far from his mouth. This was the loudspeaker shell's receiver.
The young man stuttered while trembling, "My … My name is Han … Han Yang … Ten days of accumulated … points … rank … rank … last … last. The method of death … "
He cried as he spoke. It was obvious that he was terrified.
Lin Huang could tell that the person was only an iron-level rank-2. His combat strength was considered the lowest in the training camp. It was not surprising that he was ranked last.
After the young man finished speaking, the man in sunglasses kept the loudspeaker shell and nodded at the executioner standing next to him. He then took two steps back.
The executioner in black uniform had a golden ring on his hand turn into a saber. He grabbed the young man's collar from behind and roughly pressed him to the ground.
The sword sliced through the air and a head flew into the air. Blood spurted out and splattered all over the ground.
Lin Huang frowned as he saw that. He had killed people before but it was his first time witnessing an execution from such a perspective. It was bloody and inhumane.
Seeing the first corpse fall to the ground, the man in sunglasses did not avoid it at all. A pair of black leather boots stepped on the pool of blood and walked toward the second person. He expressionlessly handed the loudspeaker shell to the mouth of the second young man again.
"My name is Lu Zhen. I'm ranked second last in the 10-day ranking. Method of death: execution by shooting, "the second young man said with a pale face.
The man in sunglasses nodded at the executioner next to him.
The golden ring on the executioner's hand transformed into a pistol. He then pointed the muzzle at the left side of Lu Zhen's forehead and pulled the trigger without any expression on his face.
"Bang!" The young man's head exploded in an instant. This spear had directly blasted his head off.
Lin Huang finally witnessed the power of a gold-level firearm.
The man in sunglasses then walked towards the next person and placed the loudspeaker shell next to his mouth.
"My name is Zou He. I'm ranked third last in the 10-day ranking. Method of death: death by dismemberment … "As soon as the third young man finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Many of them were discussing softly. It seemed like this method of execution had not been used for a long time.
The man in sunglasses was stunned. He frowned when he heard the commotion around him.
"Silence!" Two words were heard from the loudspeaker shell.
The crowd quieted down again.
Hearing that the venue had returned to normal, the man in shades took a step back and nodded at the executioner beside him.
The executioner placed his hand on the back of Zou He's neck and sealed his movements. He then took off all his clothes and tied him up with a metal rope. He then took out a metal frame and hung him up.
He looked like a pig beast waiting to be slaughtered.
The executioner quickly took out two daggers and began to demonstrate his knife skills on Zou He's body without any expression on his face.
The executioner's knife skills were exquisite. He kept cutting off pieces of flesh from Zou He's body. As his clothes were taken off, every wound on his body was clearly visible to the people in the crowd.
Zou He, who was hung on the hanging platform, kept screaming at the top of his lungs. His screams were also clearly played out by the loudspeaker shell.
Lin Huang had heard of death by dismemberment before, but he never thought that the whole process would be so bloody and brutal.
Zou He's screams lasted for more than three hours. Thousands of pieces of flesh were cut off from his body before he finally died.
This scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone present.
Many people cast fearful and fearful gazes at the executioner.
Zou He's screams were still ringing in Lin Huang's ears when he returned to his cell.
"It seems like the Purple Crow organization is a cult …" It was the first time Lin Huang saw the most brutal scene in the Purple Crow training camp.
Xiao Mo was quiet when he returned to his room. He did not speak much until night time.
Lin Huang soon noticed his unusual behavior. "Xiao Mo, what's wrong with you today? Did you get a scare at the place of execution? "
"I'll die 10 days later too …" Xiao Mo answered after a long silence.
"What do you mean?" Lin Huang thought it was strange for him to say that out of nowhere.
"I'm the next batch of people to be executed." Xiao Mo did not plan to explain further.
Lin Huang then realized what Xiao Mo meant. Xiao Mo's ranking had always been low. He was only an iron-level rank-3 and his combat ability was limited.
He looked at the leaderboard. As the three people who died were removed from the leaderboard, Xiao Mo's ranking was at the bottom.
"Don't worry, there's still 10 days left. There'll be a way." Lin Huang comforted him. "Try to stay in the training tower for a few more days."
Only one person could enter each room in the training tower. All the kills had to be done individually. That was why Lin Huang could not help him even if he wanted to.
"Oh yeah, how much more do you need to fill up your Life Power?" Lin Huang suddenly asked.
"My Life Power is full but I dare not level up. Once I level up to bronze-level, I won't be able to enter the iron-level training anymore. My points will be even slower … "
Xiao Mo had entered a vicious cycle. Although he could kill iron-level monsters to obtain points if he did not level up, the points he could obtain from iron-level monsters were much lower than the points he could obtain from bronze-level monsters. If he were to level up, he would not be able to kill bronze-level monsters and his points would be even slower.
