On this small patch of green lawn, spanning only a few thousand meters in radius, tens of thousands of people held their breath, intently watching the actions of a few dozen people. Even taking just one step forward meant that the first person to do so symbolized the initial first person to face alien creatures with unwavering courage.
The scene everyone hoped to see did not occur. No one could move forward anymore; they just stood there blankly, like scarecrows in a field, still reeling from the shock.
The mindset of young people is still far from being developed.
People who have experienced many hardships in life, regardless of age, should perform better.
There is another type of person, born with an indomitable spirit. Such a person remains unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before them. Even with warships right in front of them, their dark cannons pointed at their heads, they can still clearly express what they want to say.
Jiang Cheng watched the timer tick away, but he wasn't too disappointed. This was something he had expected. If invasive creatures weren't so scary, even an old lady passing by would spit on them and throw her shoe at them. Then humans wouldn't need to be so alarmed.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The grassland was completely silent.
After the unbearable silence passed, the timer reset to zero, the wind blowing through the grass didn't stop, and none of the first batch of trainees moved. Or rather, they had completely forgotten about the assessment and entered a state of nihilism.
Like a fish immersed in the ocean, with the shimmering surface above its head and sunlight streaming down, yet its body is constantly under pressure, its mind trapped and unable to move effectively.
Yu Lixuan was somewhat disappointed. He waved for the police officers to come over because the students were starting to lose their hearing and were completely still. Some were even trembling and convulsing.
"Next group!"
His voice rang out again!
······
Group after group, You Lixuan's shouts echoed across the open space, but the students' performance was very disappointing. None of the first two or three hundred students stood out; they were all eliminated.
The medical lounge on the other side was already packed with people, and many doctors were busy trying to calm them down.
Those who regained some composure couldn't help but beat their chests and weep bitterly. They had clearly underestimated the difficulty of the assessment. They had worked so hard for so long, only to fall at the last moment.
How can this not be frustrating?
If I had been more mentally prepared back then, would the outcome have been different?
There's no going back in life.
When faced with invaders, one should not waver but resolutely decide to resist, even if the chance of success is one in ten thousand, rather than standing still and waiting to die.
Jiang Cheng knew that if this were a real battlefield, these people would have all been turned into mincemeat.
To avoid unnecessary sacrifices and let them go is, in a sense, a way of saving their lives.
Those who remain in the arena and have not yet undergone the assessment, the torment they will experience has not yet begun.
"Next group! Those from the northern border, step forward!"
Yu Lixuan's voice rang out, reaching the ears of this group of brave and warlike border people. Their morale soared, and as they took a step forward, any leader could see that these people were not in the same league as ordinary people in terms of physique.
The boys are nearly two meters tall, and the girls are over 1.8 meters tall.
A thick waist, broad shoulders, and a high nose bridge are the facial features of someone who lives in a frigid region year-round.
It is said that people of this ethnic group can fight wild wolves alone in the wilderness from the age of fifteen and not be at a disadvantage. They can also successfully escape from a pack of wolves. They are truly a fighting nation.
Because this region is so remote, it has not been exposed to much modernization and still retains many primitive things. For example, children go hunting with their fathers and can use hunting rifles as early as their teens, showing great courage.
The area also boasts abundant wildlife resources.
Jiang Cheng and these leaders also kept their eyes firmly fixed on them.
Those who are good at using courage will surely be rewarded. After You Lixuan gave the order, the group of young men and women from the Northern Territory removed their blindfolds and looked straight into the sky. Their faces were full of expressions of fearlessness in the face of death, which amazed everyone.
Even more noteworthy is that Adèle Blanc-Lyt was among them.
If rankings are determined by a regional system, then each region has its top performers. But if this selection method is removed, then Adela's data is enough to put her in the top three among the Federation students!
Her excellent physical qualities and courage, which are not common among ordinary people, made her shine in training!
The brief shock, like a stone thrown into a still lake, stirred ripples in their hearts with the immense ancient spirit. The youths of the North gritted their teeth, seemingly trying to overcome their fear.
This is especially true for Adèle Blanc-de-Claude.
