There are two minutes left in the time limit,

There are four more horse-drawn carriages waiting at the meeting point at the entrance of the town.

A large number of crazy townspeople chased here, and a small number of them naturally noticed Yi Chen coming from the lakeside and turned to chase after him.

Then

The rear compartment of one of the carriages suddenly opened,

Stretching out an arm as strong as a stone pillar is none other than Dagbert, who has worked with him before and is from the [North].

The blonde Edmund also sat on the side and beckoned to Yi Chen.

"Isn't this William? Come on, we're just one person away from here. ”

This kind of critical moment related to the end of the assessment, there is naturally no need to refuse.

Quickly step forward,

When Yi Chen stretched out his hand and touched Dagbert's palm...... An unimaginable force was transmitted,

He didn't even make a jumping motion, and the whole person was already pulled into the carriage.

Edmund, who was sitting on the sidelines, closed the door synchronously.

Now that the carriage was full, the coachman waited no longer.

Syllable!

The reins whipped on the horse's back, and they sped away from the fishy town.

In the carriage except for the four of them,

There are also two new faces, both of whom are wounded...... One was wrapped around his waist with a bandage, and the other had a large amount of flesh shaved off his right arm, spraying medicine into the wound.

In comparison, Edmund's injuries were minor.

Dagbert's left upper arm was wrapped in a small bandage,

Juliana was resting against the carriage, one hand resting on the right side of her waist and abdomen, and there seemed to be a slight injury.

Blonde Edmund wears only a sticky bandage that resembles a band-aid on his cheek.

Compared with

Yi Chen, who was unscathed, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Edmund leaned closer to his face and asked curiously:

"Mr. William, I'm a little curious~

The three of us almost fought all the way to the meeting point in the center of town, stopping and observing twice along the way, but we didn't find you at all.

Did you come from the lake? ”

"Hmm."

"How did you do that? There is nothing more dangerous than the lake that breeds pathogens...... Hardly any examiner will approach there at the last minute. ”

"It's just an accidental insight into the [gap]."

"Is that so? That's amazing. ”

"By the way, how long will it take to get from here to the organization?"

Seeing that Yi Chen, who was few words, took the initiative to ask, Edmund hurriedly explained:

"Generally, the place selected as the assessment point will not be too far away from the organization...... This facilitates the monitoring of the test center and avoids unexpected situations.

We will be at G&D's headquarters in Zion in a maximum of three hours. ”

"Hmm."

Yi Chen didn't ask any more,

Take this time to close your eyes and recuperate from the remaining mental wounds.

meantime

You can also pay attention to the condition of the small grapes.

With the help of this lake bottom operation, although the little grape has some selfish intentions, it can still be trusted on the whole.

Quack~

The roots of the plant move in the body, try to touch the small grape that is being born to check its condition.

When they were about to get closer, all the roots of the plant dispersed.

"Forget it, let's not bother with it......

Put your hands in your pockets,

Leaning on the wooden flute of the carriage to get ready for a good sleep,

But I found that there was something left in my head, and I couldn't sleep.

As soon as you close your eyes, you will be reminded of the abyssal laboratory and the untouchable unknown existence.

Since I can't sleep,

The inertial thinking of engineering students began to try to think about the root cause of the incident in Green Lake Town.

"The real mastermind behind this is probably the unknown being I stumbled upon to see.

The giant eye at the bottom of the lake is just a product of his experiments.

The eye, along with some parasite samples, was released into the town of Green Lake...... It's not so much a pathogenic invasion of the town as it is a "breeding farm".

Once you produce high-quality patients, you may be led to the abyss.

It's horrible......

What kind of stuff is this world dominated by?'

Recalling the epic music of the sea, and the golden frame that emerges above the head of an unknown being,

Yi Chen actually showed a smile, eager to explore the secrets of this world.

……

About two hours passed

Suddenly, there was a strong jolting sensation.

meantime

The carriage also gradually becomes inclined upwards, clearly going uphill.

"Finally up the hill? Ouch~ It's coming soon, I'm really looking forward to it. ”

The blonde Edmund stretched his waist and then took it upon himself to open the back door of the carriage,...... The coachman did not say anything about such behavior.

As long as you go up the mountain, there is no risk of disease.

At least for now.

At the moment when the doors of the carriage are completely open.

"it!"

The fear of heights effect instantly swept through Yi Chen's brain, and his eyes widened instinctively...... Fortunately, I didn't sit in the outer seat, otherwise I would have been scared.

current

The carriage was heading up the extremely steep edge of the mountain road.

On the right is the cliff, which is more than 200 meters high.

The most terrifying thing is that

The width of the mountain road is only less than ten centimeters more than that of a horse-drawn carriage.

The rolling wheels are almost crushing the very edge of the road, and they can slip at any time...... In other words, any ordinary person would feel an instinctive fear, a fear of death.

However.

The rest of the examiners didn't have much change in their expressions, and completely trusted the coachman's skills.

When the carriage goes around a bend in the cliff,

Hundreds of meters away,

Looking at the top of the cliff,

There stands a black city.

The city is built on a cliff, and even 1/3 of the city extends beyond the cliff.

The sky over the city is covered with a thick fog, and some areas are even covered with a black membrane, which can effectively block the prying eyes from the outside.

"This is Zion."

For some reason,

When Yi Chen looked at the city, his body felt a sense of cold comfort, as if he had found a safe refuge in a world full of sick sores.

At this moment,

There was a sudden commotion in the body.

The skin on Yi Chen's shoulders rose rapidly, and black silk threads grew through,

Tear the skin gently and without a trace of pain,

Drill out the black meat ball that is exactly the same as the original,

The nerve connection between the two is also normal.

The voice of the little grape followed:

"Are you almost there?" It's fast.'"

"Little Grape, you're all right? I thought it would take you a few days.'"

"It's just a nice little meal, and a few hours is enough to digest...... It's barely a good thing, and it gives me a certain boost.

Let's try it too.'"

When the little grape shares the new and upgraded visual characteristics,

Yi Chen's field of vision,

There is an extra dotted circle line symbolizing [locking].

As long as there is any living object in the field of vision,

This dotted coil will automatically fall on the other party,

current

The blonde Edmund happened to be in Yi Chen's field of vision,

The circle-like dotted line acts as if it were a self-aim, immediately encircling the target's head.

A second later,

The dotted line gradually changes to a solid line, which means that the lock is complete.

The voice of the little grape came,

"Alright, you've locked on your target! As long as you move the relevant thoughts, the spiritual radiation will directly affect it.'"

"What!?"

Yi Chen hurriedly looked away and blinked at the same time.

[Lock] will be lifted naturally.

The blonde Edmund seemed to sense that Yi Chen was peeking at him, and he didn't care at all.
