Chapter 15 Graduation Examinations
December 14, 2070, 7 a.m. – Earth Singapore – Singapore Master Training Camp
The sun peeks out of the sea and breaks through the thick clouds, shining the first rays of the morning sun on the golden sand. The sea breeze brings the unique taste of the sea to the Singapore Master Training Camp. Located on the beachfront, the Singapore Master Training Camp is three times the size of the Lion City Training Camp and is the largest training camp in Southeast Asia. In addition to training the volunteers of the base camp, the general training camp also has another responsibility: Every recruit starts from entering the camp, and after about six months of training and has basically mastered various combat capabilities, he will go here to take the volunteer graduation examination together with the fresh trainees of other training camps.
In the months before Mark and his team came to the general training camp, squads 1 to 66 had passed their graduation exams in batches and were sent to the front line to fight. Today, it was Mark's turn to play. Early in the morning, Mark and the others followed the large army to the general training camp. A total of 200 teams with 4,000 people participated in the graduation exam, and 14 teams with 280 people came to the Lion City training camp.
Looking at the 12-meter-high wall of the total training camp, Watts couldn't help but exclaim: "What a high wall, three times the size of our training camp!" Shaking his head with a smile, Lao Liu said bluntly: "This is not high." "Huh? Isn't that high? Lao Liu, what else do you say? "Hehe, when I served in Shawar, the base wall of our sub-base was a full 30 meters high, and it was 10 times thicker, 20 meters. Also, the outer walls of the walls are made of dense metal. "Oh my God, I'll have to go and see it when I become a regular soldier!" "Hehe, there will be a chance."
Everyone slowly moved forward with the large army, and entered the general training camp after registering with their ID cards at the gate of the training camp. The general training camp had already set up a staging area for the recruits who came to take the graduation exams, and Mark and the others found their assembly position according to the number, checked their equipment on their own, and waited for the next instructions of the general training camp.
When all the recruits had arrived at the assembly point, a captain wearing the battle armor for lieutenant officers stepped up to the podium. Clearing his throat, the captain shouted: "Lizheng! With a "bang", the ground shook violently, and the 4,000 steel warriors stood in unison, and everyone's attention was focused on the captain. Soldiers, I am Captain Xu Jin of the General Training Camp, and I am one of the chief examiners of this graduation exam. Don't talk nonsense, the exam matters. Your exams are all numbered, so I'll just read the number. Fighters from YL*ZC01 to YL*PJ20 enter the underground assessment field from Entrance 1; The fighters from SC*LX01 to SCT20 entered the underground assessment field from Entrance 2 "Five minutes later, Captain Xu Jin finished reading everyone's numbers. At this time, Mark and the others had already entered the underground assessment field from the second entrance, ready to go.
"Those who take the test should be aware that the test is dangerous, so please check your equipment in advance. All examiners are ready to enter the testing room. "Before coming to the general training camp, Mark and the others signed a safety agreement, and they need to bear part of the risk of this exam. The sound of the electronic system echoed in the huge underground examination hall, and everyone checked their equipment again as they were told, preparing to start the exam. "The simulated environment of the exam is a Zerg brain worm interference environment, and the radio system will not be available, so please be mentally prepared for all references. Please refer to the person standing in the white box corresponding to their number. Mark quickly found the white box with his test number labeled on it, stood on it, and opened the insurance of the AGH12 assault rifle. AGH12 assault rifle, a Russian-made 8.5 mm caliber universal automatic rifle, 1.3 meters long, weighing 18.4kg, effective range of 1.2 kilometers, ordinary magazine ammunition capacity of 80 rounds, armor-piercing magazine ammunition capacity of 30 rounds, can be equipped with bayonets, grenade launchers, most of the volunteers who took the exam are equipped with the gun, Mark They got it three days ago, and they were excited for a while when the gun was started. "There are 15 seconds left before the start of the exam, so ask the examiner to do the final check. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the exam begins. With a "woo", the floor with white frames painted under everyone's feet fell directly into the ground, and the speed was so fast that it could only be said that it should be very painful to land later.
After falling for a full 20 seconds, Mark fell into the water with a "plop" sound. "Holy shit, which bastard set up the entry method?!" Crawling out of the water, Mark began to survey his surroundings. It was pitch black, and even with the shimmer night vision device turned on, it was still dim, and it could be roughly seen that this was an underground cave, but there were no stalagmites. Mark had just fallen into a pool of water, which was 2 meters deep, just enough to drown Mark, who was wearing combat armor. There were several wooden signs around the pool, and Mark turned on the miniature searchlight at his helmet to see the writing on them. "5 minutes after the start of the exam, the assessment department will release 3,000 growing alien worms into the examination room to attack the candidates, and the candidates will persist until the end of the exam an hour later or eliminate all the alienated worms to pass." That is to say...... 1 minute to go! No way! After reading the instructions, Mark yelled angrily, and then, crawling out of the pool and looking around, trying to find a place where the terrain was favorable for defense.
Looking around, Mark found that there was a large pile of rocks in front of him more than 300 meters away, which could be regarded as a natural defensive position. As soon as Mark thought about it, he saw that there was already a light in the rubble. After a little thought, Mark decided not to go over, but turned around and jumped into the pool just now.
In a short time, a dense exchange of fire rang out in this enclosed space, and it rang out for a full 20 minutes, without a moment's interruption. In the past 20 minutes, many people have run past the pool, and many big dogs have run past the area, but our protagonist, Mr. Mark, ignores them and waits quietly in the water. When 20 minutes passed, the space suddenly fell silent, not in general, but in a dead silence.
After a few more moments in the water, Mark heard a sound of footsteps. "Uhhhhh At that moment, Mark saw the big dog, and the big dog saw Mark, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment. The first time he observed the big dog up close, Mark was very surprised, the big dog in front of him was very similar to the description in the data, but maybe it was in the growth period, there was a slight difference. The appearance of the big dog is strange, the body shape is similar to that of the dog, but there is a tan cuticle on the body; Large dogs have no lips and their teeth are exposed like crocodiles; On its back is a pair of tentacles with sharp cone spines at the tip of the tentacles; The hind body has locust-like wings, but it is very degraded and it is estimated that it cannot fly; The four legs are anti-joints like those of dogs, but their claws are similar to those of tigers.
"Huh-" At the moment when the big dog was stunned, Mark stabbed the AGH12 that had already loaded the bayonet in his hand upward, and the sharp bayonet stabbed through the big dog's chin. The 50cm-long bayonet instantly penetrated the big dog's mouth and stabbed the big dog's brain from the inside, and the big dog died in Mark's hands before he even had time to scream. Mark crawled out of the pool, threw aside the carcass of the big dog, pulled out the bayonet that had been stabbed deep into the "dog's head". "Poof-" Black blood and brains spilled all over Mark, and Mark couldn't help but frown. "It's disgusting, no wonder there will be anti-nausea training in the camp, damn it......" Although he kept scolding, Mark didn't fall in the slightest in action, and after carefully observing the surrounding situation, Mark chose the target and ran towards the pile of rubble he saw just now.
Outside the rubble, Mark stopped. "Just as I expected." Dozens of human warriors were killed in the rocky pile, and there were hundreds of corpses of big dogs around the rocks. Mark weaves his way through the rocks and eventually finds a boulder steeper than the others, and Mark reckons that this tall dog will not be easy to jump on. So, he turned on the electromagnetic catapult, jumped on a concave on the outside of the boulder, and jumped on it.
The location is good, the view is very open, Mark turned on the electronic telescope and scanned the surroundings. "System, calculate how many fighters and big dogs are still alive." "According to the systematic analysis, there are about 140 surviving warriors and about 1,200 surviving alienant insects." "Enough, huh? Someone's coming. Mark quickly leaned down on the boulder and watched behind the man. Fortunately, there are no alien bugs. Hey, come here. Hearing Mark's shout, the warrior hurried over. When Mark saw the number on his armor, he immediately called out: "Old Liu? The visitor was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Is that you, Mark?" "It's me, what's the matter, can't you see my number?" "Your number...... Ordinary people may really not be able to see clearly, it is all worm blood. However, I finally met someone from my own team, and I was lucky. Looking at his armor, Mark pursed his lips, bypassed the topic, and asked, "Lao Liu, have you seen anyone else?" "I didn't meet anyone else, so I guess everyone scattered and hid." There's no way to use the radio, we can't contact them at all, so let's think about ourselves first. "There is still half an hour before the end of the exam, and so many people have already died, I don't know if we can still hold on." "Dead? Hehe, Mark you think too much, they didn't die. "Not dead?"
Sitting on a stone, Lao Liu said unhurriedly: "They were just stunned by the narcotic gas, didn't you see that the alien insects that fell on them were twitching." That gas is just an anesthetic gas for us, but it's deadly for alienated insects, they don't have lungs, but they still have to breathe, and that gas goes into their bodies with a violent chemical reaction, and then you know. "That means we can't usually die unless we're very unlucky?" "Yes, but to qualify, you need to kill at least 8 alien worms. Of course, this is the rule that I used to take the regular army enlistment exam, and the difficulty should be higher than here, so why don't you kill five or six alien insects. "In this way, Lao Liu, how many have you killed?" "Twenty-nine. What about you? "I...... I killed one. "Huh? One? Lao Liu couldn't believe his ears. Mark scratched his head and explained in embarrassment: "I hid in the pool, and it took me twenty minutes for an alien worm to come over, and I clicked it with a knife." "Insidious, others desperately want you to rest there. But it's a clever method, and your judgment is correct. "Hehe, I just feel a little obscene."
While the two were talking, another warrior ran in this direction, the kind of extra-large armor, Mark didn't have to guess who that person was. "It's that bastard of Watts!" Hearing the displeasure expressed in Mark's words, Lao Liu, who was sitting there to change the magazine, asked with interest: "What, are you unhappy that Watts is here?" "Happy? No way! There's a bunch of alien bugs behind that kid! At least a hundred! "What?!"
