Fifty-three, embryonic man
When Busiri is divided into two parts, north and south.
In the north, the Tuotuo River basin is a pastoral area, and in the south, the Garqu River basin is the northern boundary of the uninhabited area.
Gaerqu is the middle source of one of the three sources of the great river, which receives a large amount of glacial meltwater, and is the most abundant area of aquatic grass.
Thousands of square kilometers of land are divided into disconnected highland meadows by endless streams, lakes, swamps and wetlands.
There are also bold herdsmen, coveted by its abundant water and grass, and are concentrated in the narrow area on both sides of the Garqu River.
They did not dare to stay away from the river, and if the sheep strayed into the swamp wetland, it would be all over.
The Trial Knights rushed in and ran into big trouble: the buggy got stuck in a swamp and lost most of its supplies.
The driver, who doubles as a mechanic, Louie, is almost devoured.
They had to stop and dry their laundry on a meadow, count their equipment and food.
The standard equipment of the two trial teams is exactly the same: a vision with contact lenses per person, a small stealth system shared by two people, a small early warning drone, three days of food, and no more than ten kilograms of personal equipment, including weapons.
Today is the fourth day of their entry into the Proving Ground, and the rations have been depleted.
Louie and Nightzi's tent sank into the swamp with the buggy, meaning they lost their stealth system. At the same time, early warning drones were also lost.
In terms of food, the food found from the hot spring convoy was snatched back by Louis desperately, which was about enough for four people to consume for two days.
The good news is that there's one more powerful robot dog. It has locked the treasure box, ten kilometers ahead.
The bad news is that the other side seems to have the same stealth system as them.
Harrison's drone could not capture their footage, and could not accurately determine their personnel composition and approximate strength.
If it weren't for George, the robot dog, they'd be lost.
Last night, the two sides were less than a kilometer apart.
Then, the buggy rushed into the dead ground.
Alice, who is calm, also loses her composure and chases after Harrison on foot with his robot dog, George...... I was tossed miserably by the little mage called Wukong, and I was scared of tossing, so I had to come back to rest.
"Louie, have you ever killed someone at your school?" Yako asked in a low voice as she wiped her katana.
"Ah...... It would be troublesome to kill people in France. Louis was caught off guard and replied a little awkwardly; Yezi, you're in Yuhong, did you kill someone in your school? ”
"I joined the school's archery club and accidentally killed a nasty senior." Yoko pointed the tip of her katana at her left eye; "I shot him here."
"Why?" Louis asked fearfully; "Why did you kill him?"
"He tried to insult me twice in a very rude way." Yoko raised her katana; "Later, I was expelled from the archery club and joined the martial arts club. No one dares to be rude to me anymore. ”
"Isn't there any other trouble?"
"We're underage;" Yako smirked; "Besides, it was an accident. He shouldn't be in that position. ”
Louie gave a thumbs up and gave Yezi a thumbs up.
"Come over for a meeting." A summoning voice came from the nearby meadow.
Louis and Yako had to go over and sit down in a proper manner.
Yako looked at Alice's cold face with trepidation, for fear of missing a word from her mouth.
After a night of running-in and understanding, Yezi has figured out that Harrison is similar to Louie, and he is a supporting role.
Alice, who has absolute control, is the only one in this temporary team who can make decisions.
"Our opponent is too cunning, and since last night, he has cheated us four times." Alice said with a serious little face; "They're locals and they're familiar with the environment. We must tread carefully. Miss Yoko, you leave unnecessary things behind and set off as soon as possible, George is half a kilometer behind you. ”
"Why is it with me?" Yoko protested. Wouldn't she be a kilometer behind George, the robot dog, the right way to do it the right way?
"First, George is our killer weapon, the strongest combat force, and there is no room for failure. Its battery can only support it for one round of all-out attack; Second, your exclusive skill is Ninja, which is best suited for pathfinding. George remembers their taste, and you just have to look at its head at all times and follow the direction it specifies.
"Third, since the early hours of the morning, the communication signal in this area has been seriously disrupted, and George can be used as a relay station to relay information from the front." Alice paused for a moment, then said, "Any more opinions?" ”
Louis lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Harrison wielded his crosssword, engrossed in practicing a sword move: a slash and slash.
His flexibility and strength are astonishingly double, and his movement speed and accuracy are comparable to those of professional athletes.
Yako had to silently pack up her gear, pick up a probe, and leave the meadow and step into the swamp.
She thought she wouldn't survive a minute under Harrison's stormy sword light.
And Alice's crossbow, the robot dog George......
George...... I curse you!
She kept cursing the injustice of fate, cursing the mentor of this trial, the guardian knight George. Saul.
There is no envy for such a proud son as Harrison and Alice.
They are all artificial humans, who have undergone genetic modification once in the embryonic stage, and the chance of being born into this world in health is one in three; The chance of surviving adolescence and becoming an adult is only 1 in 5.
More than half of the embryos carry a variety of malformation genes in the womb, either missing arms and legs, crooked mouths and slanted eyes, or blood or intelligence problems.
It is said that the more perfect the appearance of the artificial human, the higher the chance of dying young. Alice and Harrison seem to be short-lived ghosts like that.
In the knights' training camp, the children of their families secretly called them embryos, and they had no basic human rights under the age of eighteen.
The embryonic people after the age of eighteen, one is more powerful than the other, and they are all powerful characters who can't afford to offend.
George. Thor is the most powerful one, the spiritual leader of the artificial people. He, with a clear bias towards Alice and Harrison.
The knight training camp is only open for two months a year, and the opportunity for trials is available every year, but such a dangerous knight trial has never been heard of.
Usually, she and Louie, and even the embryonic people live in a normal society, just like their age, reading and learning.
The difference is that they have to undergo more rigorous physical training while completing their school homework.
Old Sakai said that the reward for this trial was a bath in the holy light of Yelena, which would help the embryo to survive the most dangerous adolescence and live to the age of eighteen.
Yoko also wants to win, to win the bath of the Holy Light.
The knights of the family before the age of eighteen could not be bathed in holy light.
However, she can exchange it for the opportunity to set up a personal fund within the family to prepare for the future purchase of knight equipment.
Old Sakai, happy to make a deal like that with her.
Yako concluded that he had been deceived by old Sakai, and that he would definitely get more and greater benefits.
Old Sakai clearly prefers her brother, uncle's son Ichiro Sakai.
Ichiro went to their family's home field, the Fukuyama Trial Area, but asked her to come to Huaguo to participate in the "Death Trial"!
Louie was probably the same, he looked silly, obviously an unlucky kid who was not favored.
Now, Yoko's only goal is to get out of the proving ground alive.
Hopefully, Louie will understand what he means.
Walking out of a kilometer, Yezi stopped at the edge of a pond of more than ten acres, untied the filter pot around his waist, and filled a pot of clear spring water.
She quietly grabbed the black mud and looked back as she smeared it on her body, and George, the robot dog, had already set off.
It also makes its fur dirty, and if it doesn't move, it's a mess of mud.
Fifteen minutes later, Alice packed up her gear, strapped the backpack that looked heavier than her, and left the meadow in the direction where Nightko had disappeared.
Louis hurriedly stood up, but was stopped by Harrison: "We are the third echelon, and we will leave in ten minutes." ”
Louis snorted. His role was that of a porter, a pack horse, and a coolie carrying food and tools.
Harrison controls the drone and spies on Yezi from a hundred meters in the air.
Alice said that she must be optimistic about the female ninja.
Ten minutes passed, and Harrison beckoned Louis to go.
Not long after he walked out, the night disappeared from the horizon.
Harrison hurriedly contacted Alice.
Alice said she couldn't fly, and George followed.
