Chapter 36: Swords, Guns and Cannons
The woman next to Li Mengxi saw Lin Zhen and was watching with interest, but when she heard what Li Mengxi said, she immediately asked, "Mengxi, who is this handsome boy?"
Li Mengxi turned to the woman beside her and said, "Ruoruo, this is Lin Zhen, my former neighbor, the one I told you about..."
"Oh! This is your former suitor. He's quite handsome, but why does he look familiar to me?"
The reason why Lin Zhen looked familiar was naturally because of the video of him fighting with Zhang Huai.
But Lin Zhen knew that his reputation was mainly within the circle of students in the martial arts school. Teams like these that were away for a long time were no longer considered ordinary students.
For example, Li Mengxi and Ruoruo in front of them, these two women are now in the late stage of ninth-level warriors. Because of their long-term battles with mutant beasts, their general strength is stronger than that of martial arts students of the same level. Their rich practical experience has given them courage and skills that surpass ordinary students.
Lin Zhen saw that Li Mengxi and Ruoruo were both carrying a sniper rifle on their backs and wearing a silver Desert Eagle fifth-generation pistol on their waists, and he understood something.
When girls become warriors, most of them choose to use hot weapons. After all, due to their innate physical conditions, their achievements in learning cold weapons are limited. Hot weapons are easy to master and are the best choice.
Ruoruo thought for a while but couldn't remember who Lin Zhen was. She raised her head and said, "Lin Zhen, huh? Since you like Mengxi, you'd better quit the Demon Hunters. The reason is very simple. The team our captain hates the most is the Demon Hunters. If you join that team, won't you be against Mengxi?"
Lin Zhen didn't like Ruoruo's tone and attitude, but he wasn't going to argue with a little girl. He smiled and shook his head: "I'm a new student, it's good enough that a team has taken me in. How can I be so picky?"
"Humph! You don't know how to appreciate a favor. No wonder Mengxi rejected you. People like you deserve to be single until death."
Lin Zhen frowned and was about to say something when Zhao Liang walked over.
"Lin Zhen, what are you still doing here? We are almost ready to enter. If you delay, you will have to wait another day before you can enter."
Seeing Zhao Liang coming, Li Mengxi and Ruoruo turned around and left, walking to the front to line up.
Only then did Zhao Liang ask Lin Zhen: "Do you know these two women?"
"I know one of them. He was my former neighbor and graduated a year earlier than me."
"Is it that Li Mengxi?"
"Yes, Brother Zhao also knows her?"
"I know them, but I'm not very familiar with them. On the contrary, the three men in their team are old enemies of our demon hunter team."
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple. When we named our team, we called it Demon Hunters, and theirs was called Demon Gods. Didn't our name offend them? Since then, those guys from Swords, Guns, and Cannons have been looking for trouble with us everywhere. We have fought each other several times. Do you know why our team was short of someone and had to recruit from the students?"
Lin Zhen was stunned: "Could it be..."
"Yes, Old Liu was left alone during a hunting trip and was ambushed by a group of people with knives, guns and cannons. Although those grandsons denied it, we know that they were the ones who did it."
"Knives, guns, and cannons, are they those three men?"
"That's right. The captain is Zhou Tie, the one who uses a knife. He is the strongest. In a one-on-one fight, no one in our team can match him. The one who uses a spear is Hua Xiaofeng. He is very good at using the pear blossom spear and is also very difficult to deal with. Finally, did you see the guy with a rocket launcher in his left hand? His name is Kong Shan. His rocket launcher is the most powerful and can also be fired at close range. Old Liu was killed by him and his body cannot be found."
Zhao Liang sighed, "Shi Lei and them just now had an argument, and they even made a bet, saying that the two teams would compete, and whichever team got less spoils would lose 100 million to the other team unconditionally. Shi Lei thought that you were the only warrior-level player on our side, while the two women on the other side were both warriors. We have some advantages, but the strength of those three people with swords, guns and cannons alone is probably above the four of us at the general level, so this bet is not optimistic."
Lin Zhen was silent for a moment. Shi Lei was a little reckless, but his feelings were understandable.
"Okay, I've said all this just to make you be careful. The two women on the other side are not easy to deal with. If you are really targeted by two long-range sniper rifles, it will be difficult for ordinary warriors to escape. Stay away from them after you go in."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I'll be fine."
"That's great. I'll go over first. The admission time is almost up. You should also go and queue up."
Shi Lei took the other three teammates to the right, and Lin Zhen went to the left.
When he got to the queue, Lin Zhen realized that there were really a lot of people here. Li Mengxi and Ruoruo were five or six seats ahead of him.
The front was not open yet, but there were already no less than fifty soldiers in front of him, and more cars were arriving from behind.
The town was surrounded by an alloy net and firmly fixed with huge iron stakes. With this thing, the mutant beasts inside couldn't get out at all, but bursts of roars could still be heard coming from the town.
There was also a soldier holding a loud speaker in the front shouting, "Everyone, get ready. The area will be open in ten minutes. There are quite a few mutant beasts inside, ranging from F to D levels. There may also be C-level ones. After killing a mutant beast, remember to cut off its ears or other prominent parts as trophies. F-level is one point, E-level is ten points, D-level is one hundred points, and C-level is one thousand points. It depends on how many points you get. The more points you get, the greater your chances of getting in. I know you all come in a team, so don't hold your general-level teammates back."
A warrior asked at this time: "Why are there still C-level mutant beasts? Wouldn't it be like dying if we, the warriors, fought against the C-level?"
"The town is so big, why did you choose to go to a C-level town? This is to train your survival ability. If you can't survive in a C-level town, entering the county town will also be a death sentence. It's better to give up."
The student didn't dare to speak, but he didn't give up.
"If anyone wants to quit, leave now, otherwise you won't be able to leave later."
No one was willing to quit. Warriors all had a proud heart and no one was willing to be inferior to others.
Time passed by minute by minute, and while queuing, some people recognized Lin Zhen.
However, Lin Zhen did not see any admiration or respect in the eyes of these warriors. Instead, he saw more provocation and disdain.
Lin Zhen knew very well why this was the case. Improving his physical fitness by 99% did not prove his combat capability. At most, it just shortened his training time.
These warriors are different from the students in the base city. They have all hunted monsters in the wild many times. If you want to convince them, the only proof is to show superior strength in the wild. Otherwise, your 100% improvement can only prove that you are lucky.
What's more, Lin Zhen is only an early level eight. Most of the people who can often move around in the wild are level nine fighters, and level eights are a minority.
It can be said that there is no martial arts student here, because those martial arts students are not strong now. Lin Zhen may be one of the few students who have walked out of the base city.
Facing these people's provocative gazes, Lin Zhen didn't care at all. The battle in the town would prove everything.
The team quickly gathered sixty or seventy people, and the opening time had arrived. Those who had not arrived yet could only wait for the next wave to enter after a day.
The soldier in front opened the big iron gate and said, "You can enter the town now. After one day, I hope you can come out of it intact. Don't become the monster's feces."
