Like Zhang Ran before, under Link's gaze, at this moment, the other four contestants were in an extremely tense state of body and spirit, and cold sweat quickly broke out behind them, until Link's gaze was removed, and the four of them each secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good morning everyone! Introduce yourself, I'm Link, and I'm also one of the five executive officers of Black Eagle Corporation! The reason for summoning you this time, and the specific content of the mandatory mission, must be clear to you, if you can help the company win, the company will definitely not treat you badly!"

Looking at the five contestants in front of him, Link also restrained his momentum, and then said in a rather calm tone.

"As for the previous one, in order to make it more likely that you will win, I will personally lead you through a week of special training. After the special training is over, I will take you to the Pano family to start the gambling battle! From now on, the special training officially begins, come with me!"

After a pause, Link also made a quick decision to announce the start of the special training, and then he led the five contestants out of the Black Eagle headquarters and came to the large training ground next to the Black Eagle headquarters for the five executives.

Over the next week, Link personally led Zhang Ran and four other contestants in a special training session at the training ground.

The content of the special training is mainly focused on actual combat training, and at the same time, Link also personally taught a lot of small skills in control ability, which benefited Zhang Ran a lot.

Although Zhang Ran had combat experience before the crossing, he also had to admit that with the same strength, he was indeed not Link's opponent.

However, every time after fighting Link, Zhang Ran would correct his problems through the chip, and at the same time analyze Link's combat skills, constantly enrich and improve himself, and his combat level continued to improve, even Link personally praised him.

Not only that, every time he fought with Link, Zhang Ran seized this precious opportunity to analyze Link's body with a chip, and tried to decipher the secrets of the hunter's body, so that he could have a certain reference when he advanced in the future.

......

A week later.

After a week of special training, although Zhang Ran's attributes have only improved by less than 0.01, in each battle, Zhang Ran's combat skills have been significantly improved, and his actual combat effectiveness has improved by about one percent.

As for the other four contestants, their strength has also improved, but the improvement is not as good as Zhang Ran.

"Today, I will lead you to the Pano family territory, and tomorrow morning, the gambling war will officially begin!"

On this morning, Link also led the five contestants out of the training ground, into the underground parking lot of the Black Hawk headquarters, and came to a two-meter-high, five-meter-long, three-meter-wide, dark red, very cool off-road vehicle.

The Pano family is led in the north of the Black Hawk Company, and its core area, Pano City, is four hundred kilometers away from the Black Hawk City, and there are a large number of mutant beasts along the way, so it is obviously unreasonable to cross this distance on foot, so the Black Hawk Company also chose to use off-road vehicles to transport the five contestants.

With the technological level of the Black Eagle Company, it cannot independently manufacture a car engine, so it must be purchased from Gu Mo City at a high price.

In addition, in order to be able to safely traverse the wilderness, the body of the off-road vehicle needs to be made of at least grade 2 alloy, and the tires need to be made of grade 3 materials, so even the cheapest off-road vehicle will cost two million Black Hawk coins without any discounts.

In the face of such a high price, ordinary evolutionaries simply cannot afford to buy off-road vehicles, and only those advanced evolutionaries whose strength is above level 6 and have mastered more than 3 abilities can have the financial resources to buy them.

Of course, more often than not, these evolutionaries will not buy off-road vehicles individually, but will form a hunting team of several evolutionaries, gather the resources of a team, and buy an off-road vehicle.

As for the off-road vehicle that Zhang Ran is buying now, it is Link's exclusive off-road vehicle, the body is made of precious grade 3 alloys, and it has also been enchanted with the attributes of "toughness" and "lightness", and the tires are made of grade 4 materials, if you want to buy it, the price can reach at least tens of millions of Black Eagle coins.

The reason why the body is not built with grade 4 alloy is also very simple, the scientific and technological level of Black Eagle City can only refine grade 3 alloys, and for grade 4 alloys, they have to buy from Gu Mo City, although the five executives control the wealth of the entire Black Eagle company, they also have the luxury of using a large number of grade 4 alloys, just to build an off-road vehicle with little practical significance.

Coming to the garage, a dark-faced, level 5 evolutionary, bearded, burly driver opened the passenger cab door for Link, respectfully introduced Link into the passenger seat, and then entered the driver's seat himself.

As for Zhang Ran and the other five contestants, they could only stay in the cargo compartment at the rear of the off-road vehicle, but fortunately, in order to facilitate the loading of people, a series of straps were added to the rear of the off-road vehicle, so as not to let the five contestants fall out of the car in the bumps.

The vehicle drove out of the Black Hawk headquarters and quickly left Black Hawk City and entered the safe zone.

In the face of a behemoth like an off-road vehicle, most of the mutant beasts basically scattered and fled, and for those mutant beasts that did not have time to escape, they were flattened by the off-road vehicles one after another and died directly.

In the safe zone, the terrain is relatively flat, there are some roads left over from the old era that have not been completely destroyed, and the off-road vehicles have reached speeds of nearly 100 kilometers per hour, and they are in the wilderness in less than half an hour.

The terrain in the wilderness is undoubtedly more rugged than in the safe zone, and the speed of the off-road vehicle has dropped dramatically, and the degree of bump has increased significantly, like a lonely boat in the sea, up and down and vibrating back and forth.

If it were an ordinary person going through such a journey, I am afraid that they would vomit within a kilometer, but fortunately, Zhang Ran and the other five contestants are all evolutionaries, and their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, so they are not too out of shape.

Soon, another hour passed, and at this time, the off-road vehicle had already left the Black Eagle City at a distance of about a hundred kilometers, and at this distance, the third-level mutant beasts could already be seen, and the frequency of the second-level mutant beasts had also greatly increased, which was also the first time that Zhang Ran had left the Black Eagle Company so far.

Generally speaking, only evolutionaries above level 3 would come to hunt at such a distance, although Zhang Ran's strength had reached the threshold of level 3, he also belonged to the weakest group of level 3 evolutionaries, and it was not safe to hunt here, so he had never explored such a depth before.

Compared to the area that Zhang Ran once explored, this place has only been explored by a small number of evolutionaries, and the strength of these evolutionaries is generally high, and they will not do activities such as picking up scrap metal, so there are still a large number of pre-cataclysmic ruins here.
