Chapter 48 Black Abyss
This practical exam is the last day.
After finishing the exam, students can pack their bags and go home.
After leaving the examination room, Shi Changqing was happily preparing to go back to the dormitory to pack her things and return to her new home, but her head teacher jumped out.
Nalan Qingzhao patted Shi Changqing's shoulder with a smile and followed her out of the classroom: "Changqing, what are your plans for this winter vacation?"
The word "Changqing" made Shi Changqing dazed for a while, and brought back memories of her past life.
An image of a white-haired old man flashed through my mind.
The heart is subtle.
It had been a long time since anyone called her that.
The only person who called her that was her master in her previous life.
After she left the mountain, she never saw her master again.
Shi Changqing turned to look at Nalan Qingzhao: "Teacher, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Would you like to visit the 23rd Military District?"
Xuanyuan Lan seemed to have heard these words, so she turned sideways and glanced at the backs of Shi Changqing and Nalan Qingzhao. After pondering for a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze and continued to pay attention to the situation of each student.
In the corridor.
"This won't happen until the start of school, right?" Shi Changqing was a little interested, but not very much.
She also needs to leave time in the underground boxing ring.
She had thought that she would have a month to spend in it during the winter vacation, so she reduced the number of times she went to the underground boxing ring during this month.
Nalan Qingzhao: "You don't have to wait until the start of school. If you're quick, you can go home in ten days."
Shi Changqing quickly thought of something: "Is it about super-powered beasts?"
"Yes, we suspect that the exotic beasts in the Black Abyss Territory have also been infected with the mutant gene. If you are willing, I hope you can go investigate with the military personnel."
"Okay." Shi Changqing agreed quickly. After a pause, she asked again, "Will doing this earn me extra points?"
"Also, is there any reward?"
Nalan Qingzhao smiled and said, "Of course."
After receiving this assurance, Shi Changqing did not continue to ask about the amount. She thought that the military would not be able to do without her money.
-
The zoo probably knew that Boris was on holiday after taking exams today, so they sent another message at 7 o'clock in the evening, asking if he could continue working part-time during the winter vacation.
Shi Changqing declined politely.
Fighting strange beasts is much more interesting than being a security guard.
The next day, Changqing was arranged to get on the school bus and go to the 23rd Military Region.
But she didn't expect that the school not only looked for her, but also looked for people from senior grades.
Among them are Ji Ke and Lou Yue.
Lou Yue is the commander and can quickly make corresponding tactical countermeasures on the battlefield.
As for the two 3S students in their class, Fuad and Liesel, the school probably took into consideration that they did not have much combat experience and did not dare to take risks.
"Xiao Shi, you're here too?"
After getting out of the car, Ji Ke and Lou Yue noticed Shi Changqing and both looked shocked.
When they got on the bus, they found a seat, sat down and fell asleep, not noticing that there were other people on the bus.
Shi Changqing nodded: "Well, just like you guys, find a part-time job."
"New student? Shi Changqing?" Someone recognized her.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised. It is true that the school will arrange for senior students to enter the military area to practice with individual soldiers. However, this is only after an assessment is made to confirm that the students can enter the military area after graduation and the documents are signed before they can enter the military area in advance and act with the soldiers.
It is surprising that Shi Changqing, as a freshman, receives such preferential treatment. Even if he is extremely talented, can he receive such an exception?
Lou Yue's mind worked quickly, so he asked, "Did you also take the super-powered beast exam for the final exam?"
Shi Changqing nodded.
Ji Ke followed up with a question: "What level of monster did you kill last?"
"Super 3S."
Shi Changqing thought about it and realized that the school had not yet confirmed whether it was the 4S monster, so she followed the school's original name.
"Is it a simulation or real?" Lou Yue asked.
She knew that their third-grade special class used real monsters. Because there were fewer people in the special class, the rest of the S and A classes used simulated data of super-powered monsters.
She thought that the first-year students did not have much practical experience, so the school would let them use simulated data.
Shi Changqing: “Real.”
Ji Ke put his arm around Lou Yue's shoulder and gave her a thumbs-up: "I almost forgot that my schoolmate had crippled us before."
Lou Yue also thought of this and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I almost forgot about our junior sister's skills."
No wonder the school made an exception and allowed Shi Changqing to join the team.
The 23rd Military Region has strict rules and regulations. After getting off the car and waiting for a moment, Xuanyuan Lan came over in a dashing manner in an officer's uniform.
"Today you will follow my troops to the Black Abyss Region."
"You all know what's going on in the Black Abyss, right?"
"I understand." Several senior students responded.
"I don't know." Shi Changqing said truthfully.
She only knew that the Black Abyss was the most dangerous area marked by the Federation and the Empire.
There are many exotic beasts there.
In the interstellar space, basically all the strange beasts on planets of all sizes come from there.
This dates back thousands of years.
Originally, there were no such dangerous beasts on the stars in the universe. It was unknown when the first beast appeared on the planet and began to attack humans. The second and third beasts also appeared in human sight one after another.
It also caused quite a bit of damage.
However, it is also a coincidence that the appearance of the strange beast happened to be when humans discovered that the human body has the characteristic of spiritual power.
After a long period of research and development, we have the current definition of mecha and mental power.
Later, they discovered that this Black Abyss seemed to be able to connect directly to every planet. As for why no strange beasts appeared thousands of years ago, it seemed that it was because a similar seal had been broken in the Black Abyss.
Everyone speculated that there were even more unspeakable secrets hidden within the Black Abyss.
Later, someone explored the interior of the Black Abyss, where there was a strange beast that could reproduce infinitely.
So it was named Black Source Beast.
The Black Source Beast has been proven to have a mental power exceeding the 3S limit, or even higher, but there is no exact number for how high it is.
At that time, several soldiers and commanders with 3S mental power were killed.
If the super-powered beasts escaped and returned to their home in the Black Abyss, spreading their super-powered evolutionary genes, then one could imagine how severe the individual combat conditions would be for humans in the future, given the entire nest of super-powered beasts.
"Didn't you pay attention in class?" a classmate asked curiously. Not to mention that the Black Abyss Domain was not mentioned in class, it was basically common sense.
Shi Changqing explained: "I heard that. I don't know the current situation of the Black Abyss Territory. What should we do later?"
Yesterday, Nalan Qingzhao simply told them to investigate, but did not specifically mention going to the Black Abyss Territory.
Xuanyuan Lan walked in front and answered, "Right now, all the major military regions are heading to the Black Abyss Region to investigate the situation of the super-powered beasts. We also need to collect data from there."
"Focus on capturing S-level and above exotic beasts, while ensuring your own safety. Capturing is best. You'll also need to collect data on battles with exotic beasts in the Black Abyss. Your mechas will then automatically capture the exotic beasts' mental fluctuations."
"As for you, Shi Changqing, you will wear this later."
Xuanyuan Lan took out a brooch-like ornament with a miniature camera on it that could record and collect data from the battle.
There was no other way. Shi Changqing didn't use a mecha, so they could only ask someone to specially make such small parts.
Shi Changqing took it, lowered his head and put it on his chest.
After walking for a while with Xuanyuan Lan, we boarded the spaceship.
The soldiers on the spaceship saluted Xuanyuan Lan one after another, and Xuanyuan Lan saluted back. Then she lowered her hands and called out a name: "Rudolf."
A young man with brown hair and green eyes stood up and said, "Here we are."
Xuanyuan Lan half turned and looked at the students behind her: "Rudolf will be leading you these days. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
"You two should get to know each other."
Shi Changqing and several third-year seniors signed up.
The spaceship was traveling very fast, and it reached its destination in just a few words.
As soon as I got off the spaceship, I saw a group of people.
These people have strongholds behind them.
The military uniforms of each group of people were different, which was dazzling to look at. The logos of each uniform and spaceship were different, and Shi Changqing could hardly recognize them.
Rudolph stood in front of them and introduced them, "Those are people from other military districts. Over there is the First Military District, over here is the Fifth Military District, and that, that, and that, is the Thirteenth Military District."
"The other waves of people were investigated by some non-governmental organizations."
"There is no hostile relationship between military regions. During combat, please avoid accidentally injuring personnel from other military regions."
"Sometimes, if we encounter someone in trouble, we should lend a hand based on humanitarianism and our own situation. Of course, even if we are not the enemy, we cannot hand over the exotic beasts to others."
"Alright, now for the roll call. I'll give you a communication device later, and we'll be leaving right away."
Rudolf said a lot, and when Shi Changqing heard the First Military Region, he looked in the direction indicated by the other party.
After looking for a long time, I didn't see Ye Weilan.
She thought that Ye Weilan should not appear here.
"Jike."
"arrive."
"Lou Yue."
"arrive."
“.”
“.”
"Shi Changqing."
Shi Changqing stood tall, with his head and chest puffed out, his Qi sinking into his Dantian, and he shouted loudly: "Here we are."
"Set off!"
"Xiaoyu, what are you looking at?" A clear and melodious female voice sounded.
The girl followed Shi Xinyu's gaze and saw that those over there were from the military district, but the ones in uniform behind them looked like they were from the school.
"Nothing." Shi Xinyu looked away.
He was really mentally unstable and was hallucinating. He actually heard his sister's voice.
There are so many men and women in military uniforms, all shown from their backs or sideways. To be honest, I really can't see anyone who looks like Shi Changqing.
"Let's go, they have been waiting for us for a long time." The girl walked first towards another official organization.
"Yeah." Shi Xinyu followed the girl and came to a stronghold.
There were six or seven people under the tent.
"What a pity that my temporary colleague didn't come." Eric said with a pout.
"There's nothing we can do. We can't force others." Sister Feng replied.
"Oh, otherwise I could see with my own eyes whether it is really like you said, that I can kill strange beasts with my bare hands."
"Hey, classmate Xiaoli, she seems to be from your school as well. She said that you can all kill strange beasts with your bare hands. Is that true?" Eric turned to look at Zhuge Li and asked curiously.
Zhuge Li: “.”
You don't need to ask to know who he is talking about. I'm afraid it's no one else except Shi Changqing.
"My mental strength is not as strong as hers." Zhuge Li did not deny it, but only clarified her own strength.
"Who are you talking about?" Le Wu brought Shi Xinyu over and heard Eric's conversation not far away.
Eric looked at Shi Xinyu behind Lewu, suddenly smiled, and said bluntly: "Where did you bring this child from?"
He heard that there was a new part-time job coming.
Shi Xinyu is only fourteen years old, 1.71 meters tall, with a face like a green pheasant. Due to the hard life when he lived in the school and had poor food for a long time, he looked thin and small. It was only in the past month that his life improved and his height jumped from 1.65 meters to 1.71 meters.
Shi Xinyu had a cold face and glanced at Eric suddenly.
Eric is thick-skinned and has been through many battles. A mere glance will not hurt him.
"We at Lulutong don't employ child labor."
Lewu defended him, "Oh, he's a 3S student at the Imperial Military Academy. Can you compare to him?"
As soon as the word "Imperial Military Academy" came out, everyone on the scene looked at Shi Xinyu in surprise.
The Imperial Military Academy actually accepted such a young child.
3S
No wonder.
The entire sky in the Black Abyss Region is always dark, with no day or night. Such a climate actually creates an environment similar to a tropical rainforest.
Shi Changqing followed the team and walked with them deep in the forest.
People could be seen everywhere and the sounds of fighting could be heard.
She felt that there were more people than strange beasts.
"Watch your step. There are black holes beneath the Black Abyss that lead to the depths of the lair. Remember, we are currently only searching for ordinary exotic beasts on the flat ground. We won't be taking risks down there for now."
"Got it, please reply."
"yes."
"yes."
There were responses from the team one after another.
"Yes." Shi Changqing also spoke from the back of the team.
As soon as he finished speaking, his legs went weak. Shi Changqing felt something and lowered his head. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
The next second, a living person disappeared behind the team.
The sounds of fighting around covered up the sound of Shi Changqing falling.
After they walked for a while, the teammate turned his head inadvertently and suddenly saw that Shi Changqing's shadow was not behind him, so he turned his head to look forward.
I silently counted the people in the team in my mind.
Their team included soldiers from five military regions, people from five schools, and a soldier led by Rudolph.
There are eleven people in total.
Now the team consists of only ten people, including him.
Suddenly he was shocked: "Report! One person is missing!"
"who?"
Before the teammates could check themselves, five or six A and B level monsters jumped out and attacked from the front and back.
There's a fight going on up there.
Shi Changqing was also fighting below.
As soon as she fell down and hadn't even regained her footing, a strange beast opened its mouth wide and rushed towards her to bite her.
Shi Changqing didn't have time to draw his knife and just punched the monster's head to pieces.
Blood splattered everywhere.
It is pitch black underground.
Shi Changqing took out a flashlight from the weapon space box and turned on the light. There was a huge underground maze below.
It was very similar to the game copies she had played before. Every time she turned a corner, a strange beast would appear.
Same as NPCs.
Shi Changqing fought effortlessly and wandered around in this underground maze for a long time.
Suddenly, the communicator on his collar made a faint sound of electricity: "Shi Changqing, where are you?"
"Please answer if you hear me, please answer if you hear me."
Rudolph's voice came from the communicator.
Damn it, it’s only the first day of leading the team and he already lost someone, a first-year student at that. How is he going to explain this to Xuanyuan Lan and the girl’s parents?
