Chapter 9 Final Assessment
"Dr. Manhattan?"
Lin Muhan asked suspiciously, "Is he strong?" ”
"You haven't seen him, of course you can't imagine it."
Lin Chang smiled bitterly: "No one knows what his origin is, only that he is an American, and his existence can be said to have established the status of the current hegemon of the United States to a certain extent." Fortunately, his position has always been neutral, otherwise I think the United States would be the only country left in the world. ”
"Teacher, how strong is he?"
Lin Xiangyu asked excitedly. It may be because of the innate belligerence factor in the blood of the power-based supernatural, and his desire for power and curiosity about the strong far exceeds that of other partners.
"I don't know how to describe it. It is an incomprehensible power, a power that does not belong to the world. Lin Chang sighed.
"Then how can you conclude that he is very powerful......" Lin Xiangyu muttered.
"Xiangyu, you're wrong."
Lin Chang said in a serious voice: "It was he who established the International Alien Organization after the end of World War II, but he never cared about anything, so almost all of them were handled by the secretary general of the IEO. ”
Legend has it that he went to Vietnam once in the 70s, when the United States was at the height of the Vietnam War. A week later, the war ended, and the United States withdrew its troops, declaring defeat to the outside world. But later, statues of Dr. Manhattan began to be erected in various villages in North Vietnam, and incense was offered every day, and some people saw them worshiping the statue of Dr. Manhattan, which was no different from worshipping the gods. ”
"But Dr. Manhattan is more often a patron saint than a destroyer and careerist. And we can also feel that he should really want the world to be better. ”
"But this doesn't reflect his strength."
Lin Lexuan asked: "Vietnam's ability strength is so weak, and it only established a Southeast Asian common circle with a number of Southeast Asian countries a few years ago, this shouldn't be counted." ”
"He's actually had a couple of shots."
Lin Chang frowned and recalled, "Almost in the twenties of the last century, it was when he was just rising, and many ability organizations were afraid of him at that time, worried that he would interfere with the ability pattern of the entire world. Therefore, more than a dozen supernatural organizations large and small in the world sent a total of enough supernatural beings capable of destroying a small country to assassinate him, and even the Holy See also dispatched ascetics and the few remaining magicians of the magical civilization. Their last word came out was that Dr. Manhattan had been barricaded alone in his lab. ”
"And then?" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"They have evaporated from the world."
Lin Chang smiled bitterly: "There was no earth-shattering battle, and the hundreds of powerful abilities didn't even make a splash, and they didn't even have a single corpse left. ”
He then appeared on the battlefield of the Civil War, the two major paranormal organizations in the United States, and three days later, the civil war ended, and the two major paranormal organizations in the United States peacefully merged to form the current Righteous Alliance. Then came World War II. ”
"And what does he look like?" Lin Muhan asked.
"You'll never remember his face."
Lin Chang sighed and said, "I've seen him three times, but every time I try hard, I can't recall what he looks like, I only remember that there is a strange symbol on his forehead." He was wearing a black suit all the time, and he was never seen wearing anything else. ”
At this time, Xie Ying came over with a plate of steaming stew and a few bowls of rice, and said, "Okay, don't you have more important things to discuss?" Eat first, and then talk about Dr. Manhattan. ”
After speaking, she glared at Lin Chang. Lin Chang had no choice but to raise his hands and make an innocent expression to Xie Ying.
The children happily moved their chopsticks.
Lin Chang and Xie Ying looked at the five children, and a trace of relief flashed in their hearts.
One meal was spent in the gobbling up of everyone. Xie Ying's cooking skills are very good, and she hasn't seen a few children for a long time, so she cooks her own specialty dishes, which naturally makes everyone swallow their tongues when they eat it.
And watching the children finish eating, Lin Chang put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"I have one more important thing to tell you, which is about the final assessment."
Hearing this, the five children sat up straight.
"The time for the final assessment has been set, three months later, on February 10, 2016."
Lin Chang's expression was a little solemn: "Because of the appearance of a few young people in this assessment, Yan Huang deliberately increased the difficulty. Obviously, there are some people in Yanhuang who don't want you to pass the assessment so early. ”
"What's the added difficulty?" Xie Mengqi's body leaned forward slightly.
"The assessment location is set at Biochemical Forest No. 1." Lin Chang was serious.
Listening to Lin Chang's words, the five children gasped.
There are a total of three biochemical forests in the entire Yanjing base. No. 1 is the largest, almost 200 square kilometers, followed by No. 2 and No. 3 is the smallest. These three forests are becoming more dangerous as their area shrinks.
Of the three numbered forests, One is relatively the safest, and is generally an ordinary beast. However, it is still one of the most dangerous locations in the Yanhuang Yanjing base.
Lin Muhan asked with some concern, "With our strength, can we survive there?" ”
"There's no need to think about it, in fact, Forest No. 1 is not that scary."
Lin Chang waved his hand and said, "According to my estimate, Forest No. 1 should be just your limit, and there should be no problem for you to pass." Maybe you've just heard too many rumors out there. In fact, Forest One is not that scary. ”
"yes, there's nothing to be afraid of, whatever comes at us, we'll just destroy them!" Lin Xiangyu waved his fist, and a little battle intent burst out in his eyes.
"That's right."
Lin Chang smiled and continued, "And since those people have increased the difficulty of the assessment, I have also won some benefits for you." ”
With that, he took out five watches and handed them to the children.
"This is not an ordinary watch, the positioning system inside can locate the position of the watch with the same chip, because the location of entering the forest is random, with these watches, you can easily find each other's location."
The children happily accepted their watches and put them on their hands.
Seeing them put on their watches, Lin Chang stood up, pulled Xie Ying up, and said, "Then we'll see you after the final assessment." ”
"Teacher, are you leaving?" The eyes of several children were full of reluctance.
"I still have something to do with your wife, but this time I promise that I will come to see you after you pass the final examination." Lin Chang smiled and waved his hand and opened the door of the room.
"Teacher, when will you tell us about your past? Some people say that you used to be a leader, but my brother told us that you were a member of the elder body. Xie Mengqi shouted.
"Commander?"
Lin Chang rolled his eyes disdainfully. He paused and said, "Now is not the time. When you are able to protect yourself, I will tell you who I am. ”
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and left the hut directly.
The door closes.
The five children looked at each other, and the sense of loss caused by Lin Chang's departure gradually disappeared. A wave of faith slowly fermented in their bodies, and they put their hands together, their eyes full of trust and fighting spirit for each other.
……………………………………
Three months later.
On the playground, the people who participated in the final assessment arrived.
The seven instructors stood in front of the seven teams in turn, and they looked at the players in front of them and explained the rules of this final assessment.
"Each of you will be given a steel badge with your number engraved on it, and each person will receive a minimum of five other people's badges during the assessment process, and those who lose their badges will be judged to have failed the assessment. Contestants in the under-24 category will have one chance to call the headquarters to withdraw from the assessment. If the contestants in the 24-year-old group fail the assessment, they will be directly transferred to civilian positions and lose the opportunity to continue to participate in the final assessment. ”
"The assessment time is fifteen days, and during this period, you are not allowed to leave the No. 1 Biochemical Forest, where you can kill other players, and there are many kinds of beasts in the No. 1 Forest. Obtain at least five unique organs or blood from beasts and submit them for evaluation, and less than five will be considered as a failure in the assessment. ”
"Candidates will be randomly sent by helicopter to various parts of the forest, allowing them to form teams freely. Candidates are not allowed to carry their own weapons, which are uniformly issued by the organization. A melee weapon and a ranged attack weapon. ”
"Hell, isn't this very bad for you?" Lin Lexuan looked at Lin Muhan beside him and asked in a low voice.
"It's not like I'm incapacitated without a bow and arrow. Moreover, I can make simple bows and arrows myself, as long as I am given time. Lin Muhan said while listening to the instructor above.
Xie Mengqi whispered to Lin Muhan: "In this case, as soon as you enter the forest, you will find me first." If you're far away from me, then you should meet up with the person closest to you and try to avoid fighting. ”
Lin Muhan glanced at her and nodded.
"Above, the conditions for completing the assessment are to obtain at least five badges, organs or blood unique to the five beasts. The more the number, the more points there are, and if any player does not get a beast blood or badge at the end of the assessment, regardless of the group, they will be directly executed. ”
"Do you all understand?" The instructors yelled angrily.
"Got it!" All the players roared together.
"Listen, we'll slowly gather with me as soon as we enter the forest."
Xie Mengqi quickly said to the others amid everyone's roar: "The assessment rules are the most unfavorable for Mu Han, let's ensure Mu Han's safety first, and then move closer to each other." ”
"It......'s like I'm so fragile," Lin Muhan muttered.
Xie Mengqi glared at him and continued: "Wanshu and Le Xuan are free to move, if you are close to Mu Han, you should also go to him first, anyway, the final goal is to gather with me." But everything has to be saved first, understand? ”
The others nodded.
"Now let's go to the next table and pick up weapons!"
At this point, the instructor pointed to a large row of wooden racks stacked with guns and knives on the left side of the group, and shouted, "Each person is limited to ten magazines!" Violators will be severely punished! ”
While everyone was choosing weapons, more than a dozen helicopters were already parked in another playground.
"Each helicopter is limited to twenty people, and each person receives one supply per person in a helicopter box after boarding, which contains food and fresh water for three days."
The five children followed the team to the helicopter, where the propellers had been activated and waiting for the competitors to board the plane.
"No. 72, you go to the middle plane, No. 75 you go to the third plane, No. 78, you go to the tenth plane, 85, you go to the last one. 81, go to the fifteenth! ”
Lao Xi looked at the list, and the sound of the propeller almost drowned out his roar.
The five children glanced at each other, and Xie Mengqi opened her mouth and compared her mouth shape with a "plan". They boarded their respective planes. With the roar of the propellers, the helicopters slowly took off and flew towards a large green forest deep in the base.
The final assessment began.
