Chapter 136 Welcome to Pass Level 1
All the arrows shot from the cave entrance had been knocked down, and after the few people were sure that there were no more arrows to be shot, they continued to move forward.
They came to an open cave space, which was completely different from the narrow passage before. In the center of the cave was a huge stone wall, which was engraved with strange symbols.
"This is a bit similar to the symbols on the wall just now..." Lu Shaoang asked puzzledly as he looked at the various symbols on the wall.
"Is there a possibility that these symbols are the key to triggering the switch?" 62 guessed.
“But we don’t know what the symbols mean…” 62 asked in confusion as he looked at the symbols he couldn’t understand.
“[The swastika] is often seen as a symbol of eternity or infinity, the cycle of time or the eternity of life,” Lu Shaoang explained.
"[?] - Hieroglyphics of ancient civilizations, possibly related to natural elements or deities."
"And this..." Lu Shaoang pointed at a symbol and continued:
"[?] - is the Star of David, a six-pointed star often seen in religious traditions, possibly symbolizing protection or spiritual guidance."
"Then what's the use of all this?" 62 didn't understand.
"It may be the corresponding code symbol." Su Jin frowned.
Several people gathered in front of the stone wall and began to try different combinations. Everyone remembered the sequence of symbols they had seen before, and they tried to match the symbols in their memory with the symbols on the wall to form a new password combination.
Lu Shaoang touched the corresponding symbols in the order he remembered. As the last symbol was touched, the entire stone wall began to emit a low rumbling sound, and then slowly moved to one side, revealing a hidden passage.
"Successful? It was so easy to succeed!" 62 said excitedly.
The outside of the passage is completely different from the inside. At first glance, there is a wide flat land outside, and looking up, the endless sky is in full view. Everything here seems so natural and real, as if there is no difference from the real world.
"Are we back to the present world?" 10 asked with a trembling voice, red eyes and sobs.
"It seems so..." 11 rubbed his head randomly to comfort him, and said uncertainly.
"Welcome to passing the first level!" Suddenly a voice came from behind, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
When everyone heard the voice, they turned around and saw two men who looked like examiners standing with the man who was previously in charge of them.
If my guess is correct, the other two men should be the examiners.
Luo Wen never thought that one day he would come to the examination site to see the examinees in person. If they didn't know the conditions for passing the examination, they might have already been standing at the second level examination site...
"Examiner?" 10 asked in surprise: "Why... are you here?"
The examiner sent the two of them here. Was it because they did not follow the examiner's instructions to increase the difficulty of the candidates' examinations, but instead helped them pass the exams, which offended the examiner, that they came here in person? ...
10 I felt an indescribable pain in my heart. I felt that I had done nothing wrong. Since it was a fair assessment, why didn’t they explain the conditions for passing the exam clearly to the candidates? !
Moreover, in his opinion, there was nothing unsatisfactory about these four candidates. On the contrary, they were very suitable to stay in the Yotton Military Academy and would definitely become excellent graduates in the future.
But because of the head coach's mistake, he almost made a meaningless sacrifice!
10 The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the examinee. After a mental struggle, he mustered up the courage to say, "Examiner, we failed to complete the task. Please accept the punishment!"
"But before I am punished, I have a question. I hope the examiner can listen to it!" 10 added immediately.
Jiang Ze frowned and said, "You say."
"The candidates did not receive any information on the conditions for passing the test! I think this is very unfair and I hope the examiner can give a reasonable explanation!" 10 said indignantly.
Su Jin raised an eyebrow, as if she didn't expect that even after she had kidnapped 10 people, he would still speak for them.
Barritt behind him lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at the candidates.
"That's right. Since it's an assessment, there are conditions for passing the assessment. Why didn't they tell us that the conveyor belt was in the woods? We almost died here!" Silas said angrily.
"I came here just for this matter..." Luo Wen said in a deep voice.
"It is our head coach who did not have the right attitude, which led to the current situation. I apologize to you on his behalf..."
"Examiner, no need! Since it was my mistake, I should apologize and bear the consequences." Barrett interrupted.
"If apologies are effective, what's the point of having police in this world?" 62 said dissatisfiedly.
If 539 hadn't appeared here, it would be my own corpse. There is no way an apology can save a life.
"I am willing to accept any punishment," Barritt promised.
"We have only passed the first assessment. We don't know how many assessments are left. Besides, we are here to take the assessment. We are not interested in how you deal with the people who make mistakes. Please just tell us the content of the next assessment. Let's not waste any more time." Su Jinyi said coldly.
She knew that Lu Shaoang and she had to pass the assessment and stay at the Yoton Military Academy. She didn't care about anything else and didn't want to waste her time on useless things.
Only then did Luo Wen take a deep look at Su Jinyi. He originally thought that 539 was just a pretty but useless vase, but the reality was that her attitude towards him was the most sincere.
Luo Wen: "Okay, we have our own way of dealing with people who make mistakes."
"This assessment is divided into three parts, and you have completed the first part."
"You will complete the remaining two parts together with other candidates." Jiang Ze continued:
"The second round of assessment requires you to accumulate points. If you 'kill' someone with a higher score than you, you will get double the points."
"What are the criteria for killing?" Lu Shaoang frowned.
“Each of you will be equipped with a corresponding smoke bomb and fuel gun. Although these two weapons are not real guns, their power should not be underestimated.
Once hit, especially when critical parts such as the heart are hit, it is enough to instantly make the target lose the ability to move. In actual combat, such results will be regarded as effective strikes and included in the statistics. "
"You must not only avoid dangers that may appear at any time, but also beware of attacks from your own kind."
"Your points will be updated in real time and included in the ranking. Only the top 50 will pass the assessment."
"What about the third level?" 62 asked.
"Only those who pass the second level will be eligible to enter the third level. We will wait for you at the end of the second level." Luo Wen said in a deep voice.
