Chapter 9 Assessment Rules, Receive Combat Backpack

As time passed, the bus was gradually filled with people. The teacher assigned by the college began to call out the names one by one. After confirming that all the candidates on the registration list were present, he began to speak:
"Since we have everyone in the car, let's set off for the examination room in advance."

The latest departure time is 9:00 a.m. The bus will depart on time regardless of whether all candidates are present or not. If all candidates arrive before this time, the bus can depart early and arrive at the examination venue earlier.

As the leading teacher finished speaking, the bus started slowly and drove towards the examination venue.

After driving for nearly an hour, the bus that Lin Yiming was riding on finally arrived at an abandoned town in the suburbs. This was a military restricted area and it was normally impossible to set foot here.

"Students, we have arrived at the test venue. You can get off the bus in turn." The teacher in charge turned around and shouted.

Lin Yiming was shocked as soon as he got off the bus, because outside this open area, there were many soldiers in combat uniforms. They all had guns in their hands, standing tall and looking at the town ahead.

They are responsible for the safety of the assessment site. Once any strange beast runs out of the abandoned town, they will shoot it immediately.

Lin Yiming also looked at the town in front of him. This was the location of this combat assessment. The town had long been in ruins, as if it had experienced an earthquake.

Most of the buildings inside have collapsed to the ground, and green mosses are everywhere. From time to time, roars of beasts can be heard from them. They should be the exotic beasts specially raised for their combat assessments.

The place where he was standing at this moment was more like a buffer zone, separating this abandoned town from the safe area where people lived.

Buses drove in one after another, and some candidates who went to the test site on their own also arrived one after another. At this time, there were still about forty minutes before the test officially began.

According to the detailed information released by the authorities, the abandoned town in front of Lin Yiming has an area of ​​132 square kilometers. There is an assessment entrance in each of the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast. This time, a total of 3145 candidates are taking the combat assessment here.

The time for the assessment to begin was getting closer and closer. Under the temporary platform, many black iron boxes were neatly placed, and no one knew what was inside.

"Seal off the assessment area!"

Just as Lin Yiming was stunned, a deep and loud voice resounded in the area, and the originally noisy candidates shut their mouths in an instant.

Because when this sound reached their ears, there was a strong sense of oppression. This sense of oppression made them feel palpitations and they involuntarily fell silent.

"Just a single voice has such a strong sense of oppression, stronger than the one that awakened the superpower before. I wonder what level of superpower he is!"

Lin Yiming guessed silently in his heart.

"Dear candidates, I am the commander-in-chief of your combat assessment. My name is Lu Kongcheng, and I am also an officer of the Jinling Military Region of Huaxia. Before the assessment begins, I will reiterate with you the important matters concerning the assessment."

"The location of this assessment is in the ruined town behind you. This was once our home, but it became what it is today because of a sudden low-level beast tide thirty years ago.

This ruined town has been preserved to this day so that you can see what a disastrous scene it is when a home is destroyed by strange beasts!

At the same time, the city in front of you, which is also the home where you grew up, may also face the same ending as this ruined town!

But fortunately, it has you here, everyone here to protect it!" Listening to the commander-in-chief's words, all the candidates suddenly felt a surge of pride.

Yes!

Home, the home where they grew up!

They must guard it themselves. They will never allow the tragedy of the ruined town to happen again, especially in their homeland.

Seeing the candidates' emotions being ignited, Lu Kongcheng, the commander-in-chief, was very satisfied. A faint smile appeared on his resolute face, and then he continued:
"The content of this assessment is very simple. You will get points by killing the strange beasts in the ruined town. The score will be determined by who kills the beast in the end. So you can act alone or work together to kill the beast. This is in line with the assessment rules.

Each candidate will receive a combat backpack containing things needed for the assessment, which will be collected again after the assessment.

Finally, I would like to remind you that safety comes first and staying alive is the most important thing.

Okay, now we will start distributing combat backpacks. Please stand still and don't move."

As soon as Lu Kongcheng finished speaking, several teams of soldiers began to distribute combat backpacks to each candidate in an orderly manner.

As expected of the well-trained Chinese soldiers, in less than ten minutes, all candidates received black combat backpacks.

Lin Yiming opened the combat backpack he had just received. The items inside were very simple.

A set of black combat uniforms, a smartwatch and some common dry food, nothing else.

"No wonder the combat backpacks were taken back after the college entrance examination. This set of combat uniforms alone is worth a lot of money."

Lin Yiming had seen a simple introduction to combat uniforms on the forum before. The one in his hand was the most basic combat uniform. It was made of special memory material and could automatically match the height and body shape of the user after being worn.

The market price is around 200,000 Chinese yuan.

With this set of black combat uniform, the safety of candidates participating in the combat assessment can also be guaranteed. Attacks from ordinary low-level monsters can hardly tear through the defense of the combat uniform.

As long as they don't go to the central area of ​​the town and don't actively provoke those powerful monsters, their lives will basically not be in danger. However, in the process of fighting with the monsters, it is inevitable to suffer some minor internal and external injuries.

Inserting the obsidian gun on his back into the ground, Lin Yiming unfolded his black combat uniform and put it on. The combat uniform made of memory material fit his body perfectly, and it felt like wearing a tights.

"The top combat uniforms not only completely cover the body and protect against powerful attacks, but are also equipped with intelligent artificial systems that can detect the surrounding terrain at any time. However, the price is astronomical."

Lin Yiming thought of the introduction to combat uniforms he had seen on the forum before. The most expensive one could reach hundreds of millions of Chinese yuan. He couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw it, wondering if he would have the chance to own a set in the future.
