Chapter 53

The written test for the final exam lasted for three days, and after the written test, it was a non-stop battle.

The final exam questions for the freshman year are randomly drawn.

Su Chaoliu logged in to her student account and saw that her exam question was to catch a mountain antelope, and the level was not limited, but the higher the grade, the higher the score.

Of course, this hunt is not set casually, for example, Su Chaoliu can't be allowed to go to the sea to catch mountain antelopes, so Su Chaoliu will be put into the area infested by mountain antelopes, and let her track the traces of mountain antelopes by herself.

It's more difficult than the random delivery of the midterm exam, after all, the midterm exam can be any beast, there is no type requirement, and they only need to weigh their actual strength and strength.

But the end of the semester is different, not to mention anything else, what if you track the wrong target, it will be a waste of effort, and the test is the student's identification and tracking of the traces of strange beasts.

Su Chaoliu checked the latitude and longitude, calculated the time, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

It is estimated that the area is covered with heavy snow, and she has to make some preparations.

Students are still not allowed to bring their own equipment for the final exam, but there are some things that they can bring.

For example, the beef jerky specially made for her during the Su Dynasty.

After all, it is in the snowy mountains, beef jerky made with various seasonings such as peppercorns can well replenish body heat, although the combat suit also has a heat preservation function, but in the harsh environment, no matter how many external defense measures are difficult to resist the impact of the environment, it is still necessary to replenish the internal energy of the human body.

I don't know how many people have won the same question as her.

Zhuge Ningling's title is the silver leopard.

Su Chaoliu sent some beef jerky to Zhuge Ningling and asked her to take it with her.

Soon it was the day of the exam, and after the students got off the starship, they boarded several large flying machines in batches, and the flying machines carried them to where they were supposed to go.

Su Chaoliu sat on the aircraft and watched his classmates jump out of the hatch one by one.

Soon a teacher called her name: "Su Chaoliu!" ”

Su Chaoliu stood up: "Here!" ”

"Ready to land!"

"Yes!"

Su Chaoliu stood at the exit of the cabin and was released from the cabin by the elevator.

She unfurls her parachute with her kit and lands herself safely.

After landing smoothly, she felt a biting chill, and Su Chaoliu immediately raised the temperature of the combat uniform to eliminate the chill, and loaded goggles to avoid her eyes being stabbed by the snow.

The thin combat uniform is like Su Chaoliu's second skin, which seems to be light and thin, but it protects Su Chaoliu impermeable, even so, every breath she exhales is white gas.

In winter, in order to save themselves, the animals in the mountains and forests will try to reduce their activities as much as possible to avoid the loss of energy, so now the world is vast, and she is the only one.

This factor must have been taken into account when the school gave her questions, so the school must have felt that she could overcome this problem, or it was to test how the students could achieve their goals in a harsh environment.

Su Chaoliu first released a drone to scan the surrounding environment, and looked at the five kilometers in diameter on the light brain, which was empty, without any signs of biological activity.

But it also means that she is safe now, after all, there is no danger without other creatures.

Su Chaoliu asked the drone to find a water source.

Animals can eat less in winter, but they can't drink water, even if the river is frozen, but the alien beast that has lived in this environment for a long time must have evolved the ability to make itself drink water, so she only needs to go to the water's edge, and she will definitely be able to find traces of the alien beast.

The place where she landed was not good, the altitude was too high, and the water source would usually be at a lower altitude, so that meant she had to go down.

The descent is not easy because there is no road, and the mountain road is steep, the snow-capped mountain road is slippery, and the trees are dense, so you can get injured if you are not careful.

Su Chaoliu can fly into the air and go straight down, but this will inevitably miss a lot of traces, of course, it may be that there are no strange beasts passing by or the traces have been buried, but this kind of thing can't be a fluke.

So she could only step on the snow slowly and walk down one foot deeper, one foot shallow.

The drone still faithfully scanned the environment for her, lest she miss the Alien Beast that might occasionally probe her.

However, it seems that she was not very lucky, although she did find some traces of strange beasts, such as claw marks scratched by tiger claws on trees, and tooth marks from some small herbivorous beasts gnawing on tree bark.

But she found no trace of her target.

But she didn't care, she just found the best, and it didn't matter if she couldn't find it.

Although Su Chaoliu was careful enough, she still encountered a surprise accident.

When Su Chaoliu stepped out, she already knew that something was wrong, because what she stepped on was not real, but virtual, indicating that there was no land underneath, because of gravity, her whole person began to fall down.

She immediately spread the wings of her kit and patted her chest as she watched the snow slide like a crumbling mudslide beneath her feet.

There was a small cliff here, and because it was surrounded by snow, it caused a certain visual deception, so she stepped on it without any defense.

This cliff is ten meters high, and it is impossible for people and beasts to jump directly, so if you want to find traces of strange beasts, you can only go down the cliff, but going down from here can shorten her distance by a long time.

Su Chaoliu was entangled for a while, but went down directly.

With this cliff as the boundary, the further down the altitude goes, the more traces of the alien beast's activity are, indicating that the alien beast will also choose a comfortable place to survive.

It is common knowledge that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and most organisms are still more adapted to warm environments.

Along the way, not only are there many traces of alien beasts, but occasionally you can see some plants that have not yet withered, and these plants that have not withered have traces of being eaten by alien beasts.

Other traces are easy to bury, but this kind of trace is difficult to hide.

Su Chaoliu's spirits perked up and he immediately checked it out.

Then I regret to find that it is eaten by small creatures, such as rabbits, minks, weasels and the like.

Although I am a little disappointed, this is also normal, after all, the exam time is three days, and it only starts today, how can there be such good luck.

Su Chaoliu decided to take a rest first, she was a little tired after walking so far.

So she found a sheltered place and sat directly on the ground, anyway, the combat uniform protected her, and she wouldn't feel cold.

Then he took out a piece of beef jerky from the space button and threw it in his mouth to chew it.

In order to let her eat for a long time, the beef jerky made by Su Chaoqi was not too big, a piece was only as long as a finger, and it was best to use it to satisfy her cravings.

Sometimes Su Chaoliu feels that the interstellar people are quite tasteless in life, although the nutrients have various flavors, but the most basic version is not delicious, and after drinking the nutrients, you don't need to eat anything else all day, and there is no taste in your mouth, maybe it is because of this that they will be so popular with chefs.

The chef cooks a dish that makes people feel alive.

Sweet, sour, bitter and salty always correspond to the various states of life, and many times what you eat is not food, but mood.

Of course, this truth cannot be understood by interstellar people, at least not now.

Su Chaoliu rested for a while, then got up and continued to search for water.

In winter, the days are short, and when the sun sets, it is inconvenient for even her to move, and there may be snow at night to cover up the traces.

She quickened her speed and finally found the location of the river before sunset, and in the days of more than ten degrees below zero, the river was covered with a thick layer of ice, but there were also a few areas that were not frozen, and there were dense footprints on the banks of the river that did not freeze.

Su Chaoliu's spirit perked up, and in order not to destroy the traces, she floated to the top of the traces after she floated into the air, carefully checking and identifying what strange beasts left behind.

She took a few photos with a few pictures in mind, then circled along the upper and lower reaches of the riverbank, collected and captured many traces, and after taking the photos, she pressed the last bit of sunset and left.

She returned to the place where she had rested and eaten beef jerky, which she had taken care of, and where she had set up camp tonight, and put a guide so that she would not lose her way.

Propping up the camp tent and finding some firewood, Su Chaoliu felt much warmer after lighting the fire, then took out a small pot, dug up a few clean snow, put it in the pot, and slowly boiled it.

She had only eaten a few snow balls today, but she didn't dare to eat more for fear that the snow would be unhygienic, and now she was finally able to have boiling hot water, and she waited for the hot water to get a little colder, and drank two large bowls before she felt relieved.

Su Chaoliu lay down in the tent, and his light brain called up the footprint photos taken today, and studied them carefully.

Inertia is engraved in the bones of animals, even humans, that is to say, the animals that come here to drink water today are likely to come here tomorrow, so as long as she identifies which alien beasts these footprints are, she will be caught tomorrow.

Su Chaoliu looked at them one by one, although the footprints in the photo were very chaotic, it was impossible for a strange beast to leave only one footprint, and a complete footprint could be obtained by crossing multiple footprints.

By the time she had finally sorted out all the footprints, it was snowing outside.

Su Chaoliu had a headache, and he didn't know if the snow would stop tomorrow, and many animals might not be willing to come out on a snowy day.

In three days, can she really catch an antelope?

Today has passed, and she only has two days left.

Su Chaoliu sighed and lay down to rest, the drone was still working diligently, and it would warn if it detected other biological reactions.

Fortunately, the night passed, and there was no movement in the light brain.

Su Chaoliu opened his eyes at dawn, then got up neatly, pushed open the tent, and found that it was a bright and good weather today.

She was immediately refreshed and immediately put away the tent.

Animals need sunlight, and with such good weather animals coming out to bask in the sun and try to forage, maybe this is her chance.

And the situation was just as she thought, she didn't walk a few steps before she saw a rabbit gnawing on withered grass, and when she saw a behemoth appear, the rabbit was frightened and ran away, so fast that even Su Chaoliu didn't react.
