Chapter 20 Danger Zone, Heading to the Red Zone
Abandoned town, in the central area.

This was once one of the most prosperous areas in the town and was also the most densely populated place by humans before the beast tide came.

Large shopping malls, central parks, office buildings, residential areas, etc. are all located here.

Because of this, during the beast tide, a large number of organized raids came here, which also led to the huge number of exotic beasts here now, making it a paradise for them.

The assessment time is already halfway through, and many teams have chosen to come here to hunt exotic beasts. They all tacitly keep a distance from each other to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Although we can't be teammates, there's no need to be enemies either.

The team led by Fang Qingluan also came here. They had just dealt with a group of shadow cats, about twenty in number. The team members all had satisfied smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they had a great harvest.

Fang Qingluan awakened the ice-related natural ability in the elemental system, which is called "Frozen Field".

This is a very powerful ice-related talent ability, with potential levels ranging from D to S. Fang Qingluan possesses the "Frozen Field" with a potential of B level.

B-level potential is already at the top in the college entrance examination combat assessment, because those awakeners with A-level and S-level abilities are basically recruited in advance and do not need to pass the assessment to prove themselves.

The current range of her "Frozen Field" is approximately a circular area with a radius of three meters. The monsters in the area will be frozen for a short time and their movements will be restricted. The "Frozen Field" is equivalent to an auxiliary elemental ability.

At the same time, before the assessment, Fang Qingluan chose to learn an ice-based combat skill as a means of attack, which, combined with the 'Frozen Field', had an unexpected effect.

After cleaning up the shadow cat tribe, Fang Qingluan checked her current ranking through her smart watch.

Overall ranking

NO.1: Jiang Chengdao - Overall score: 472 points

NO.2: Yu Yiyang——Comprehensive score: 470 points

NO.6: Fang Qingluan - Overall score: 459 points

She ranked sixth with an overall score of 459.

As her gaze continued to move downward, a name caught her attention.

NO.27: Lin Yiming - Overall score: 419 points

"Lin Yiming," she whispered softly, and then she thought of the boy she met before the assessment. She had also invited him to join the team.

"Isn't the power he awakened an F-level potential? And the power doesn't seem to have much combat capability, so why is it ranked so high?"

That resolute and handsome face emerged in her mind, and she developed a strong interest in this classmate named Lin Yiming.

Originally, Lin Yiming's ranking was in the middle or back, but now he has suddenly squeezed into the top 30. Not only Fang Qingluan, but everyone else in the examination room also noticed him.

"Fuck, what's going on with this guy named Lin Yiming? I haven't seen his name in the top 100 since the assessment began. How come he's now ranked 27th?"

"Lin Yiming. There is a boy named Lin Yiming in our school, but he has awakened an F-level potential ability, and a special type of "breeding clones". He has no combat ability."

"It seems to be him. I heard that he stole a first-level intermediate blood-spotted snake from Sun Nantian's team, so his ranking rose so quickly."

"Are you sure that a person who has awakened an F-level superpower can snatch a supernatural beast from a small team? What a joke, let's wait until the assessment is over and watch the live broadcast replay to see what's going on."

"Even if he really got it, can he rank in the top 30 just with a blood-spotted snake? I'm afraid he is not that simple! Or is it because he has the same name?"

Each team was discussing this. Some knew Lin Yiming, while others were from other schools who didn't know him. They all had different reactions to this.

At this time, Lin Yiming was looking for the strange beast. He was unaware of the heated discussion caused by his ranking. He met other candidates on the way, but he did not know them and passed by them in a hurry.

After running for about half an hour, he stepped into an area. At this time, on the map projected by the smart watch, the white light dot representing his position was flashing in a red glow.

This also unexpectedly brought him to the most dangerous area in the ruined town!
The levels and numbers of the exotic beasts here are much higher, so generally no candidate would easily set foot here, except for those like Lin Yiming who want to obtain a large number of comprehensive scores to sprint for the overall ranking of the base city.

"Roar"

The roars of various strange beasts came from afar, one after another.

Just from these sounds, one can tell that there are definitely quite a few strange beasts inside, and most of them are gathered together.

Lin Yiming looked in the direction where the roars were most frequent, but he could not find any strange beasts. The towering buildings scattered around provided a good geographical environment for the strange beasts.

If other candidates knew that there was a high probability that strange beasts would gather ahead, they would definitely choose to take a detour. However, Lin Yiming was an exception. A look of joy appeared on his face, and after confirming the direction, he sped up and rushed forward again.

He was very fast, like an agile cheetah, shuttling through the post-disaster city.

Lin Yiming feels that he has improved to a certain extent in terms of physical strength, speed, endurance, etc. This is the result of actual combat.

He felt that he was now like a monster, different from the others among this group of candidates.

Although there are always a few dark horses emerging in the college entrance examination every year, this is the first time that a dark horse as dark as Lin Yiming has appeared.

He really was like a monster, with F-level potential, and he could actually venture into the most dangerous red zone. This had never happened in the combat assessments of psychics in Jinling Base City in previous years!

If I tell this to others, no one will believe it!

It stands to reason that candidates of this caliber must have awakened extremely powerful talents and abilities, and such geniuses would have already been admitted to universities for people with special abilities, so why would they need to take the college entrance examination?
"The dense roar of beasts is getting closer! Right in front!"

Lin Yiming slowed down his pace. It was better to be cautious before he found out what kind of alien beast group it was and how many there were.

In an environment where strange beasts are rampant, it is always better to be cautious, no matter how strong you are.

"Roar"

"Ouch."

The roars of two different kinds of strange beasts came from the front. From the roars, it was obvious that one side had an absolute advantage in numbers.

"A fight started?"

Lin Yiming continued forward following the sound. Under his feet was a two-lane city road. More than a decade had passed, but the white lines had not been worn away.

Directly ahead, the wreckage of dozens of cars and buses were piled together. They had been burned beyond recognition and it was impossible to tell what brand of vehicles they were.
