…

At eight o'clock, Xia Mu arrived at the UPIC team headquarters and followed the guidance of the guards to the UPIC simulation training center.

"Miss Xia Mu Qingxue?"

The staff wearing UPIC ground service uniforms patiently and carefully read the information.

Then he asked with some hesitation.

Shamu...

This surname...

It won't be...

"Yes."

Hearing the staff's routine inquiry, Xia Mu nodded hurriedly.

At this time, Xia Mu changed into casual clothes, although it is not clear what he needs to face next, but it is inevitable that there will be some "dangerous" displays, right?

Like fighting or something...

"Well, okay, the information is confirmed, please wait in room 1 in front of you, and the first round of selection will be held in the simulation training room later.

The item is shooting. Mainly through neural connections within a virtual network, I wish you the best of luck. ”

The staff was very gentle, handed the information to Xia Mu Qingxue, and reminded.

"Oh~ Thank you very much!"

After receiving the information with both hands, Xia Mu subconsciously looked at the giant LCD screen in the hall.

It has the layout of all the rooms, as well as the start time of the audition, etc.

She followed the instructions and walked towards Room One.

The layout of the entire hall is very simple, with the first floor being the participants' lounge.

There are 30 rooms in total, arranged in a circle.

Surround the giant LCD screen in the center.

One of them is the No. 1 room, which is actually quite large and can accommodate about 50 participants, including leather chairs, tables, etc., as well as air conditioning.

After Xia Mu pushed the door in, he found that it was somewhat similar to the university's open class classroom, but the seats and tables were separated, and the gap was also large.

"Looks like I came early."

The standard lounge, which can accommodate fifty people, is currently only one person, Xia Mu, and it seems a little empty.

After finding a random place to sit down, before she could take a look at her surroundings, someone came in again.

And with the arrival of the second and third people, the lounge was soon full of people...

About fifteen minutes later, it was already nine o'clock, and it was the time when the selection officially began.

The lounge is almost full, although it still looks empty.

"All the staff in Lounge 1, please go to the 1st Simulation Training Room... All the staff in Lounge 2, please go to the second simulation training room..."

A serious male voice came out of the loudspeaker in the lounge, and after receiving the message briefly, the personnel in the first and second lounges got up one after another and walked towards the door.

"One hundred..."

Xia Mu Qingxue was a little silent.

And that's just the number of people in two rooms.

If every lounge is full and there are no absences, the number of participants will be at least 1,500.

Well... The probability is low.

"Da-da."

After the dense footsteps, everyone reached the second floor through the walking ladder.

Then, in order, enter the first and second simulation training rooms respectively.

The training room looks a bit like the layout of a computer room, but in the place where the computers should be placed, it is a "game pod" that looks like a sci-fi.

It is about three meters tall and has a metal body, but there is a large area of glass.

At this time, the glass is opened upwards and appears to act as a "door".

Inside the game cabin, there are soft seats and a head-mounted "helmet".

The shell of the game pod has a silvery-white metallic texture that shines brightly in the light.

Under the guidance of the staff, 50 elites from all walks of life, according to their curiosity, entered the "game cabin" one after another.

"Personnel are in place..."

"The simulation training pod is closed..."

The glass door slowly descends from top to bottom, and finally closes slowly until it lands at the lowest point.

Then there was a dripping sound.

Then everyone heard the mechanical sound again.

"Please do not move at will, the simulation training will be carried out in five minutes, during this time, please wear a brainwave link helmet, when the simulation training cabin display light is green, it proves that you have completed the normal steps, please be patient..."

"Whew..."

The sound of flowing air resounded in each training pod, and then gradually weakened, but if you listened closely, there was still a faint sound of air flow.

Qingxue picked up the helmet, and after putting it on, she found that it seemed to be no different from an ordinary helmet.

Then, the red light on the side of the glass door stopped flashing, and the next second the green light came on, and it didn't go out for a long time.

"You're ready."

A mechanical voice sounded in Shamu's ears, this time it seemed to be the sound of a helmet.

Xia Mu didn't care too much, but relaxed as much as possible, preparing to face the next simulation training.

"Didi..."

Outside the training cabin, several staff members walked back and forth to conduct a final inspection of the training cabin, and after confirmation, they stood in each designated position one by one, and signaled to the chief examiner who had been silent at the front.

"The assessment begins."

…

"A little dizzy?"

Xia Mu was not surprised, but relaxed as much as possible, so that he could connect with the training pod as soon as possible.

And as they entered this state one after another, their bodies seemed to have all stopped moving, and all the small movements they had just made came to an abrupt halt.

Only the faint breath could confirm their presence.

…

"The Wehrmacht's technology is so advanced?"

When Xia Mu opened his eyes again, he found himself on a vast beach.

The warm sand underfoot, and the slightly soft touch makes it feel so real.

The sound of the waves of the sea, the sun overhead, the heat felt by his body, and the constant wet and salty smell of the sea with the wind made Xia Mu really think that he had come to the beach.

She looked stunned, unable to believe her eyes.

Patiently scanned the surroundings and found that everyone was also surprised, and everyone looked around curiously.

"It's true, but it's flawed."

Xia Mu Qingxue found that the clouds in the sky were a little blurry and a little "stiff".

It looks very different from what is on the ground.

And the sun in the sky also looks wrong.

No matter what angle you look at, standing at a distance or standing close, you feel almost no change in temperature, and there is no change in brightness.

The waves of the sea are also like a layer of constant change, always "low tide, high tide, low tide, high tide." ”

The timing of the high and low tides seems to be regular.

It seems that all this is an illusion simulated by the training module.

Also, with the current level of technological development, it is still unlikely to reach 100% replication, whether it is sensory or scenery.

Xia Mu furrowed her brows after confirming that everything in front of her was an illusion, but the next second she thought of something.

"Where's the weapon... How is it possible not to give guns to shooting selections? ”

Subconsciously glanced around, everyone was no exception, and they were all empty-handed.

The beach is also empty, except that sand is sand.

It's not just Xia Mu who discovered this problem.

Many people also looked at their hands over and over again.

It also seems to be confused as to why there are no weapons.

"We are about to face the first wave of challenges, and the first wave will be five waves in one minute..."

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The sound of the machinery seemed to be coming from there.

Only Xia Mu looked wary and slowly retreated back.

“cen！！”

"Wow~"

From the still churning sea, there was a sudden sound of a few splashes, which made everyone who was still dazed subconsciously look over.

"What are those dark shadows?"

A man who was a little closer asked, pointing to the shadow looming in the sea, with some surprise.

"Really?"

A person not far away also exclaimed.

"It should be the so-called challenge, everyone retreats, and keeps a distance from the sea."

A man who looked noticeably more poised frowned, cautious, kindly reminding the others.

"Unlikely, right?"

Some of them have not yet recovered from the beautiful scene, and they still look a little lazy.

"First of all, the brain is involuntarily relaxed through a comfortable scene... Since everyone is nervous, it really works. ”

Xia Mu, who had retreated hundreds of meters away early, looked calm and analyzed carefully.

"Then, I reminded in a vague voice, but I didn't say what would happen next, and this reminder would obviously be subconsciously ignored by everyone..."

"Unless it's clear that there's a monster or an enemy, people instinctively don't care much."

"So, what's next..."

"I guess it's a real crisis!"

Xia Mu's voice just fell.

As if to confirm her reasoning.

Countless figures suddenly jumped out of the sea, and then continued to fall on the beach.

It's the same as the Xenobiotic beasts in the Institute.

The face is an ugly mouth full of sharp teeth that stands upright. The whole body is swollen terribly.

The body is full of swollen yellow and white pus, and the main body color is red, with black and white embellishments, which makes people look disgusting.

"It's... Xenobiotic!! ”

"Not good!!"

"Retreat!"

Everyone was a little frightened, and although they quickly forced themselves to compose, they could still see the fear on their faces.

“cen！”

These virtual xenobiotic beasts seem to have put a lot of effort into their construction, whether it is their shape, movement, or sound, they are very realistic.

Sure enough, the funds are all in important places...

"Look, there! Gun! ”

Several of the frantically fleeing crowd pointed to the edge of the beach, where Xia Mu stood.

"Only ten."

Xia Mu squinted her eyes, she didn't know why, she suddenly liked this action.

Looking at the ten dragon god special guns lined up on the ground, he suddenly understood something.

"Those who don't get weapons will definitely be eliminated by monsters, so this one can theoretically be passed by up to ten people... No, normally, there must be ten people, and this is only the first level, so the difficulty must not be high. ”

Xia Mu didn't hesitate to pick up a dragon spear.

As for the other nine, Xia Mu had no intention of moving.

It feels good to the touch, very real to the touch.

She subconsciously clenched, this was the first time she had held a UPIC standard gun.

It's just that I don't know what the ammunition capacity is, and according to the words of the current world, it will definitely not be enough to deal with so many xenobiological beasts.

Don't panic, it's a big deal that the nine have been used.

Then Xia Mu half-squatted with both hands holding the gun, flat.

Although it is the shape of a pistol, it is comparable to the size of a miniature submachine gun, and the weight is difficult to describe, making it difficult to use one hand.

Coupled with a long shooting, the recoil is definitely not small, who knows what level this virtual body is.

In order to avoid overturning, let's honestly make a standard shooting move.
