Chapter 12: Abandoned Subway
10 a.m. the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the entrance of the abandoned subway, all 209 candidates have arrived.
Ryoma looked around at the group.
"Next, announce the rules for the second assessment."
"Everyone, line up from high to low according to the number of beast cores handed in, three people in a row."
After Ryoma finished speaking, a staff member immediately organized everyone to stand in order. Because Bai Ye and Su Ye paid the same number of beast cores, they were divided into the same row.
After all, the lord-level desolate beast is not something that ordinary candidates can defeat, so Bai Ye and Su Ye are also relatively high in the ranks, in the third row.
By the way, some of the six people in the first two rows also won by numbers, and they were not necessarily stronger than Bai Ye and Su Ye.
"The end point of the assessment is at a certain terminal station of the subway system of the original A7 satellite city. As for which one, only I know. ”
"Once the assessment begins, I'll lead the way, and your goal is to keep up with me no matter what happens."
"After I get to the finish line, I'll wait another half hour. If you arrive within half an hour, you will be deemed to have passed the assessment! Do you understand everything? ”
The reaction of the crowd is basically divided into two kinds, one is to laugh and not speak, and the other is to be confused.
Could it be that this examiner is running very fast and can't keep up?
However, no one raised any doubts, because Ryoma had already made it very clear.
"Good. So...... Let's go! ”
After Ryoma finished speaking, he turned around and slipped into the dark abandoned subway entrance. Behind him, a long queue of many candidates, also followed, entering the abandoned subway entrance.
It was pitch black in the subway, but there would be a dim light source every once in a while, which should be the lighting equipment specially arranged by the staff of the Hunter Alliance.
Ryoma didn't run fast, and all the candidates could follow without stress.
"Su Ye, is there anything about this assessment in your information?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice as he ran.
Su Ye shook his head: "No, there was no such assessment method in the past. I didn't understand what was going on. ”
The area of the original A7 satellite city is very large, and the subway system not only covers the scope of the satellite city, but also extends to some surrounding marginal counties and cities.
It's just that after the catastrophe, these satellite cities were completely abandoned, and the subway system naturally has been abandoned for many years.
Five minutes later, the crowd was already deep underground, and at that moment, Ryoma spoke again.
"From now on, you don't have to stay in formation."
After Ryoma finished speaking, his steps suddenly accelerated.
In addition, there are fewer and fewer lighting devices on the road ahead, and the queues are starting to lengthen.
Suddenly, there was a scream!
"Ahh
Everyone looked back and found that one person in the team was suddenly dragged to the side, and what dragged him away was four or five zombies with black blood in their eye sockets!
These four or five zombies didn't know where they came from, and directly dragged the candidate aside.
Immediately, two candidates came out of the team and went to rescue him, and it seemed that they were members of the team with him. The others, after one glance, ignored it and continued to follow the team.
One of the candidates whispered, "Scared me, I thought something was wrong......
For the awakened, zombies are not a terrible thing at all, because after the catastrophe, most of the human beings have developed antibodies to the Z virus, and the awakened will not be affected by the Z virus at all.
Zombies are slow and fragile, and they are nothing compared to wild beasts. Except for a very few mutated corpse kings, ordinary awakened people are not afraid of any zombies at all.
Zombie bites or scratches awakened people, and they will not be infected, so as long as these awakened people are careful not to be attacked by zombies to fatal parts, they will not die.
The threat of zombies to the candidates is mainly due to the external injuries they may cause.
It's pitch black everywhere on the subway line, and no one knows where the zombies will come out of it, and no one knows how many zombies there are, which invisibly increases people's fears.
Most of the candidates on the outside subconsciously leaned in, and the already bloated line began to become chaotic.
And the route of the examiner Ryoma's belt is no longer a straight line, and it begins to turn around in the complex subway line, which is irregular.
In addition, the visibility in the subway line is extremely low, and the candidates in the middle of the line can no longer see the location of Ryoma, so they can only follow the team and run forward.
About five minutes passed.
Bai Ye glanced back and said in a low voice, "Have you noticed that the people behind seem to be slowly decreasing." ”
Su Ye was stunned, turned his head and glanced at it: "...... I didn't pay attention, it's too dark. ”
As the two of them were talking, someone in front of them gradually slowed down, passed by Su Ye, and was overtaken by the team.
"That guy...... It seems to be intentional. Bai Ye frowned.
Su Ye said in a low voice: "That, it's Qi Fei." ”
Bai Ye thought for a moment: "Did you mention that rookie killer?" ”
Su Ye nodded: "That's right." I think there's definitely something wrong with that. ”
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "You follow the examiner, no matter what happens, you have to keep up." I'll take a look at the back. ”
Su Ye was taken aback: "Bai Ye, don't mess around, if you fall behind, you can't catch up, I don't have a map of this subway!" ”
"It's okay, I've written down the number of your watch, feel free to contact you."
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he directly slowed down and was overtaken by the team.
"White Night!" Su Ye stretched out his hand to grab it, but he didn't catch it. He didn't dare to fall behind, so he could only continue to run forward with the team.
After the white night fell at the end of the group, he silently followed the team and continued to move forward.
A few minutes later, one after another, people came from the intermediate transfer station and stuffed directly into the middle of the line.
Bai Ye's eyes were directly fixed on these people, and after more than ten minutes, Bai Ye suddenly discovered the cattiness in it.
First of all, Ryoma's route is not a straight line, but there is a suspicion of going around in circles, although there is no duplicate subway station, but it is very likely to be walking in a spiral.
In other words, it is very likely that Ryoma knew that a situation would occur, and even acquiesced and connived at it.
Secondly, Bai Ye suddenly found that the handful of people in front of him had completely broken away from the big army!
As for when he broke away, he really didn't notice.
The route in the subway is very complicated, the visibility is extremely low, and ordinary awakened people can see two or three rows at most, and Bai Ye's eyesight is stronger, but there is no way to keep an eye on the examiner Ryoma all the time.
After passing a bend in the road, Ryoma led the people to jump onto the platform and go to the subway route opposite.
But some of the people in the group did not follow Ryoma, but continued to go straight, and in this way, all the people behind the group were taken to the wrong route.
Soon, these people came to a dead end, and three more people appeared at the back of the line, covering the front and back, blocking all these candidates.
"What's going on, how did you lead the way, follow the examiner?"
There were also candidates who didn't realize what was going on and said it out loud.
"Haven't you figured out what's going on until now...... Looks like a complete newcomer. Sorry, the assessment is over. ”
Among the people who led the way, a very tall candidate turned around, and with a wave of his hand, several candidates immediately formed an encirclement, surrounding the other four candidates, including Bai Ye, in the middle.
"You ...... What the hell are you going to do? ”
One of the four candidates asked in a loud voice, but his voice trembled.
The situation became six against four, and the other party came prepared, and these candidates couldn't help but be a little scared.
Although it will not cause death, these people will definitely be ruthless, so that they will not be able to continue to participate in the hunter assessment.
"I'm sorry, I can't explain it to you stunned young people every time, okay, old rules, broken legs, next batch."
As soon as the tall candidate waved his hand, five people immediately surrounded him.
"Dreaming!"
The three candidates clearly didn't intend to be caught.
The candidate in the center pulled out an extremely sharp combat knife, and rushed directly at the tall candidate headed by him, and slashed it head-on!
The senior examinee sneered, and in a slight flash, the knife swept close to his side.
Immediately, the senior examinee grabbed the handle of the war knife and flew up and kicked it in the chest of the examinee with the knife!
With a muffled sound, the knife-wielding candidate was kicked back a few steps, and just as he wanted to stand firm and fight again, a short stick on his back hit him directly on the thigh.
The knife-wielding candidate snorted and fell directly to the ground, throwing the knife aside.
"You ......"
The knife-wielding candidate looked back and found that the two people behind him had also fallen to the ground, moaning in pain.
