Chapter 1 Chapter 24 Iron Behemoth
The next day, the morning of October 6, 51 years of the new century calendar, was the day to set off for the college entrance examination room.
Huahai City is divided into the main urban area and seven sub-districts, such as Chenhua District, which is one of the seven sub-districts of Huahai City.
Although we are talking about zoning, in fact, even the smallest sub-district in the new century is comparable in size to the size of a third-tier prefecture-level city in the old century, and can accommodate millions of people.
The means of transportation between the main city and the seven sub-districts is the underground train. Because the monsters are eyeing humans, the development of society is more or less biased, such as the problem of access.
If you want to cross the city and the subdistrict, you need to order train tickets in advance, and the ticket price is very expensive, taking Xia Chen's parents' income in the past, one round trip is a whole month's income. As for going from one city to another, the ticket price is even more sky-high, and Xia Chen's parents' income for half a year is not enough to support a round trip.
In the face of the phenomenon that ordinary people can't afford tickets, there is no effective solution in human society at present, because every train is loaded with strong firepower, and there are garrison soldiers 24 hours a day to guard against the sneak attack of monsters.
The reason why people have changed their mode of travel to underground trains is that the occupied areas on the land surface are extremely dangerous, and if they are not warriors, stepping into them is tantamount to looking for death, and only powerful land siege vehicles can barely pass through.
And the sky was not the home of mankind earlier, flying monsters with a body size of tens of meters can be seen everywhere, and flying airliners are tantamount to self-destruction.
Therefore, Huahai City has a population of 300 million, and the vast majority of ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to leave the city area almost all their lives.
Only when the national college entrance examination is carried out by the state can every candidate have the opportunity to go out of the place where he was born and go outside.
On this day, Xia Chen and Wei Nan rushed to the train station together, and Xia Chen's parents Xia Jun and Shan Lingmei, his sister Xia Lin, and the head teacher Ye Shilan, who didn't know when he suddenly appeared.
Xia Chen, his sister Xia Lin and Wei Nan walked in front, Xia Junshan Lingmei and the head teacher Ye Shilan walked behind, and the six of them all talked and laughed and went to the No. 3 train station, which is a fixed-point train station dedicated to transporting all the teachers and students of the No. 3 High School in Chenhua District, the train station is not far away, and the six people came out very early, so they were not in a hurry.
When they arrived at the train station, Ye Shilan left for a specific location at the train station first, and together with several other teachers from the Third High School, she commanded and gathered the students.
Seeing that his son (elder brother) was about to go to the college entrance examination, the family was full of instructions, and Wei Nan stood aside and watched with great envy.
He was born in a powerful family, his parents are not ordinary people, and his status is comparable to that of a warrior, so he is very strict with his children, and he has to solve everything independently, so Wei Nan can rarely enjoy the care of a family.
It's not that his parents don't love him, but that's the way life is in the powerful family.
After most of the students had gathered, Xia Chen and Wei Nan went to gather together, waiting for the arrival of the underground train in an orderly manner under the command of Ye Shilan.
"Kusneβββ Kusneβββ"
The underground train had not yet seen the shadow, but the deafening sound had already come, and at this moment, all the lights of the underground stations were turned to the maximum, and the entire underground stations illuminated as if it were day.
"Kuku Ku Ku ...."
The sound was getting louder and louder, and the sound of the brakes of the underground train seemed to be right in front of them, and all the students of the Third High School waiting in the underground station stretched their necks and looked curiously at the dark underground train passage.
Two dazzling flashes of light made most of the teachers and students have to subconsciously close their eyes, and when the teachers and students opened their eyes again, a steel giant beast came into the eyes of each of them.
The incoming underground train has more than a dozen ten-meter-long carriages, each of which is four meters high, and the key is its appearance! The sleek exterior and state-of-the-art particle levitation mode of operation are used to protect the body in pitch black, with dense metal shells protecting the body.
These metal shells are all mixed with more than 20% biological metal, the defense is amazing, and the edge of the water chestnut is even sharper, if there is that blind beast casually bumps into it, it will inevitably be cut all over the body, and the blood will flow and drift.
The muzzle of the photon cannon looming out from beneath the metal casing demonstrates the train's strong protective capabilities.
The photon cannon is a kind of thermal weapon with powerful lethality newly developed in the new century, and its lethality is so strong that any monster below the C level is just a matter of a cannon.
"It's so dazzling! It's so domineering! β
"Look! The front of the train was actually molded into a fierce beast head. β
One of the students suddenly shouted, pointing to the front of the underground train and shouted, and the students who had never actually ridden the underground train, whether they were ordinary students or gifted students, all looked at the sound when they heard it.
Sure enough, the head of the underground train resembles a beast's head, and the appearance of the headlights has been shaped into the shape of a beast's eyes, which adds a sense of realism, and there are two protrusions under the ground, which were originally equipped with two photon head cannons, but now they look more like the fangs of monsters!
The metal casings on the outside of each carriage are stacked apart, revealing the doors for passage.
Looking at the students' inexplicable expressions of amazement, Ye Shilan and the other teachers smiled slightly, and then walked up first, the students glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally lined up and followed the teacher's steps to the carriage.
"Kussa-ku-sssss-"
By the time all the students of No. 3 High School had taken their seats, the underground train had disappeared at a rapid pace in the eyes of countless parents who had come to see off their children.
The underground train is noisy when it starts or stops, but once it is on track, the sound of its movement gradually becomes weaker.
It's quiet outside the underground train, but inside the train compartment it's the opposite, and there's a lot of noise everywhere.
The overall structure of the underground train is fully enclosed, so there are no glass windows or anything at all, so you can't see the outside world.
There is a class of students sitting in each train car, these are calculated in advance, so the space is not more than a point, not less than a point, in addition to the teachers and students, there are several train guards guarding them, they are not ordinary people, each of them is a powerful warrior, to ensure the safety of teachers and students.
After the teachers maintained the basic discipline in the carriage, the 3D holographic projection equipment installed above each carriage suddenly came into operation, and a huge holographic screen appeared in the carriage, projecting a figure in military uniform on the screen.
"Fellow reserve soldiers, future prospective soldiers, I am Huahai City, Huaxia Guohua, Rear Admiral Xie Ruifeng of the Huahai Naval Region." The 3D holographic screen in the carriage is broadcasting the speech of a middle-aged major general, "I think everyone is the most familiar with the military, our Huaxia military is one of the most powerful strategic armed organizations in the world, with the most glorious army of soldiers, everyone here is fighting for the motherland, for all mankind!" β
The students in the carriage gradually quieted down, they were talented students, and they were all looking at the middle-aged young general on the screen with their eyes flashing with blazing light, but not the talented students, with envy and bitterness.
"Hey, those talented guys are really happy, it's good to take over a family business if I die in my life!"
Wei Nan looked at the middle-aged young general on the screen, and his eyes were full of jealousy.
"Why don't you try to get an armorer? If you don't know it, you can still become an armored warrior. β
Xia Chen's heart moved, and then asked Wei Nan.
Wei Nan listened to Xia Chen's question, smiled bitterly and shook his head before saying.
"Xiaochen, you are an ordinary person, of course you will think so, but after all, I am different from you, if I want to take the exam, I must be able to become an armored division, and even become an armored soldier There is no problem at all, but as an ordinary person, I will probably not be able to become a general-level soldier in my life, so I am not of the slightest use to my family, it is better to take care of the family business after graduation, and it is much more valuable."
"Is that so......" Xia Chen was silent, the children of the powerful family are really very different from ordinary people, and they also have different views on their future path, the first thing they will think about is whether they are valuable to their family and how valuable they are, this can be regarded as a tragedy born in a powerful family.
However, when it comes to the future path, Xia Chen also needs to think about what kind of warrior he should be in the future.
"How? Have you figured out what kind of fighter you want to be in the future? Speaking of which, I invited you to join the Meteorite Tower, and you haven't answered me yet. β
Ye Shilan walked over and called Xia Chen aside.
"This, Teacher Night, I'm still a little confused about this, what the hell is the warrior doing?"
Xia Chen smiled bitterly, he didn't understand anything, he could only ask the teacher on the spot, compared with the talented students, he lacked too many professors after all, so that he didn't have an accurate positioning on how to take his future path.
"You said call me sister!"
"Uh, night, Sister Shilan." Xia Chen scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.
Ye Shilan smiled angrily, she thought that Xia Chen had already thought about it, but she didn't expect him to know anything, and after glancing at Xia Chen, she began to supply him with these most basic things.
"You can choose to join the war college invested in the army after graduation, the war college is equivalent to a military school, after joining, you can say that you are a complete soldier, everything is managed according to militarization, and you will sometimes be transferred to the battlefield, but the treatment and benefits given by the government are very high, except for more rules, it is the place where many graduates choose to join."
