Chapter 14: The Plague Rat's Den

Three hours later, the bus drove out of Jinghai Base City and into a desolate and dilapidated buffer zone.

All the students of the combat class, led by eight leading teachers, stepped off the bus and quickly finished the procession.

"Let's divide into groups," Xiao Jinsheng, the head teacher, coughed, "We plan to divide into eight groups, and each group will have a teacher as the leader of the team and lead the four students. First of all, it is a free combination, and the people who are willing to be in a group will form their own team, and I will deploy the rest. ”

The eight teachers, including Xiao Jinsheng, are all teachers who usually teach martial arts, equipment, and other courses, and their strength is very strong, and they have basically reached the limit of non-awakened people. This is also the result of Bai Xiaowen's detection.

Take the head teacher Xiao Jinsheng as an example, the total attribute is 20.5, the basic fighting level is 5 (full level), the basic equipment (one-handed sword system) is level 5, and there is also a level 5 basic throwing.

But it's a pity that Xiao Jinsheng has never passed the test of the Awakened. In fact, not only him, but also the other seven teachers, stuck on the threshold of the quasi-awakened.

The Awoken Test is conducted in the spirit realm, and the test quest is automatically generated.

If you fail the first time, the second test will be much more difficult. If the second test also fails, then the difficulty of the third test will be raised to the point of horror, and so on.

Xiao Jinsheng had failed twice, and when he entered the spirit world for the third time and saw the desperate test task, he directly chose to quit, and since then he has died the heart of the promoted awakened, and honestly found a job as a teacher in Chihuo No. 1 Middle School, and he has been doing it for more than 20 years.

There was a mess in the field, and the students of Class 17 called friends, shouting their familiar tablemates, front and back, and quickly formed a team of four.

Bai Xiaowen wanted to join a slightly more familiar team, but when he saw a few classmates who were familiar with him, their attitudes were a little lukewarm, and his eyes were still looking in Zhou Yi's direction, he understood a little in his heart.

These classmates are not stupid, they don't have a deep relationship, and of course they don't want to offend Zhou Yi for Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen sneered in his heart, and stopped talking about himself.

"There are still four classmates who haven't entered the group?" After counting the number of people in the field, Xiao Jinsheng nodded and said, "Okay, Zhou Yi, Wu Xiaoyan, Jiang Wen, Bai Xiaowen, you are in a group of four, and I will lead the team." ”

Zhou Yi grinned: "I have no opinion." ”

Bai Xiaowen didn't speak, and it was clear that there were only four of them left, and if they didn't agree, they could only be grouped like this.

"Alright, a week of field training, let's start now. Each of the eight teams has its own target location, and within a week, they will return after clearing all the monsters in the target location. I hope that all students can improve. Xiao Jinsheng's fat palm waved: "Gear up!"

Bai Xiaowen opened the tactical backpack, took out the steel crossbow and hung it around his waist, tied the machete diagonally behind his back, and tightened his trousers. Whether it is a steel crossbow or a machete, they are only mechanized and mass-produced weapons, and they do not contain psionic particles, and their lethality is not comparable to that of real psionic equipment.

Real psionic equipment is either hand-built by a forger or burst out of a monster, and the machine assembly line cannot produce it. Of course, psionic gear is also quite expensive.

After Bai Xiaowen finished dressing, Jiang Wen next to him came over with a shy smile: "Bai Xiaowen, hello." ”

This girl named Jiang Wen has fair skin and a melon seed face, although she is not as good as Li Shuyi, she is also a little beauty. When she was first grouped, many boys invited her, but for some reason she refused one by one.

"Hello, Jiang Wen. For the next week, we were teammates. ”

Seeing the shy girlish smile on Jiang Wen's face, Bai Xiaowen suddenly understood and smiled heartily. This is the little fan girl who fell under her brother's jeans.

A few boys who had just been rejected by Jiang Wen cast resentful looks.

"It's really unfortunate to have a weak chicken teammate like you," Zhou Yi walked over with Wu Xiaoyan and sneered, looking at Bai Xiaowen with a hint of provocation, "I hope you don't hold back." ”

"Take care of yourself, if you hang up, I won't give you another look. Bai Xiaowen snorted.

"You ......" Zhou Yi was enraged.

"Okay, don't make any noise! It's time to go!" The head teacher Xiao Jinsheng's fat body squeezed over, he hung a rusty iron sword at his waist, and a row of steel flying knives were inserted behind his back, the red tassels hung down, and the whole person looked like a mighty crab.

"Open the map. Our target this time is Area 8, called the Plague Rat's Den!"

Xiao Jinsheng's stubby fingers slashed across the map, "We have to trek 13 kilometers on foot, and we will inevitably encounter some monsters on the way, but the monsters wandering in the buffer zone are relatively less threatening, and you will take turns to practice." Before it gets dark, we must rush to the plague rat den!"

Eight teams, in different directions, like eight arrowheads, spread out in the vast plains and wasteland.

......

"Jiang Wen, mutant cockroaches are the weakest of the monsters, don't be intimidated by their appearance!"

Xiao Jinsheng roared loudly, "In the actual combat assessment of the college entrance examination, there are monsters that are more disgusting than mutant cockroaches. Do you want to get a zero score in the actual combat class? Quick, give it to me!"

The mutant cockroach is a cockroach that has been magnified dozens of times, with a shiny carapace, long tentacles, sharp arthrops, and a hideous and ugly appearance, which is definitely the natural enemy of girls.

Bai Xiaowen looked at Jiang Wen with some sympathy. According to the rules of the four people taking turns to exercise, Jiang Wen was ranked third, and she encountered a lone mutant cockroach.

Hearing Xiao Jinsheng's urging, Jiang Wen's melon seed face turned even whiter, she screamed, and continuously pulled the trigger of the steel crossbow.

Duo Duo Duo, the mutant cockroach was beaten back again and again, and the black carapace on its body even splashed a little spark.

"Weakness! The weakness is the eye, where are you aiming?" Xiao Jinsheng roared, "You think you are holding psionic equipment?" Please, you are just a mass-produced ordinary steel crossbow in your hand, except for attacking the weakness, you can't kill even the weakest mutant beast at all!"

Soon, Jiang Wen's crossbow bolts were empty, and the mutant cockroach was unharmed, waving its arthropods and rushing towards Jiang Wen.

Seeing the ugly mutant cockroaches rushing up, Jiang Wen's brain went blank.

Seeing that the mutant cockroach was about to pounce on Jiang Wen's legs, Zhou Yi and Wu Xiaoyan on the side looked lively, Bai Xiaowen sighed in his heart, pulled out the machete from behind his backhand, and aimed at the gap between the head and neck of the mutant cockroach and slashed over.

When there was a bang, sparks flew everywhere.

The knife was slightly off, and it didn't hit the gap, but Bai Xiaowen's strength was very strong, and the mutant cockroach was directly smashed down, and the dust was flying.

Bai Xiaowen slashed again, this time slashing at the gap between the head and neck of the mutant cockroach, chopping off the head cleanly, and then making up for it with a kick that kicked the disgusting headless body away.

Mutant cockroaches do not die immediately even if they do not have a head, but they cannot survive long because they have lost the ability to eat.

Bai Xiaowen got a prompt message.

"The battle is over, the strength is 4, the accuracy is 2, the coherence is 3, and the evaluation is good. ”

"Your basic equipment (one-handed sword) proficiency has increased. ”

"The basic equipment (one-handed sword system) has been upgraded to level 3!"

Bai Xiaowen's one-handed sword specialty level has been stuck at level 2 for a long time, and he has not broken through after practicing, but he didn't expect to break through by hacking down a mutant cockroach.

Field combat training, through real combat, the increased proficiency is really amazing, much stronger than dry training.

Jiang Wen's face was full of gratitude: "Bai Xiaowen, thank you so much." ”

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand: "It should be." ”

"Cut, the dog is nosy with the mouse. Zhou Yi, who was not far away, pouted.

Wu Xiaoyan whispered: "However, Bai Xiaowen's two knives just now seem to be very strong. ”

Zhou Yi disdainfully: "There's a fart, it's just a cockroach, I stepped on it to death with one foot." ”

Xiao Jinsheng coughed and concluded: "Okay, Jiang Wen, forget it this time." You must be clear that the opportunity to fight in real combat is not easy to come by! Keep going!"

Along the way, the five of them encounter a number of wandering monsters, including a bloodthirsty carnivorous rabbit with buckteeth, a fragile skeleton infected with necromancy that crawls out of the graveyard, and the famous plague rat. Xiao Jin boosted the formation, Bai Xiaowen and other four people took turns to hone their skills.

Jiang Wen's performance was much better than the first time, and she was verbally praised by Xiao Jinsheng.

Before dark, the group finally made it to Area 8, before the Plague Rat's Den.
