Chapter 16: Chapter 16: City 008
An elite team of four people took a train to the wilderness area and entered a large military garrison.
Ye Yun knew that there was such a military garrison in the wilderness area near every base city. It could not only monitor the movements of monsters in the wilderness area, but also provide a place for warriors entering the wilderness area to rest and replenish supplies. It was very necessary in terms of its function.
City 008 is not close to Jiangnan Base City. It takes at least two days to get there from the military base there.
Sun Qi did not decide to stay at the military base. After receiving the key to a room, he led Ye Yun and others on the road.
Walking on the abandoned road in the wilderness area, Sun Qi whispered,
"Ye Yun, although I am also amazed at your strong talent, I will also have a strict assessment of you this time. If you fail to meet the requirements of our team, I can only say sorry to you! I hope you can effectively exert your strength. I believe that as long as you work hard, with your warrior-level physical fitness, it will not be difficult to deal with monsters!"
"Okay, we finally have more people in our team, why are you so long-winded? Ye Yun, don't listen to him, just follow us and we'll see who dares to kick you out!"
Zhou Yun came over, patted Ye Yun on the shoulder, and said to Sun Qi with an impatient look on his face.
Ye Yun looked at Sun Qi's serious expression and did not pay too much attention to Zhou Yun's words. He understood what Sun Qi meant. A mature and stable team like the 'Spirit Snake' team was generally reluctant to bring in a newcomer like him. Once a newcomer started to drag the team down, it would be a huge threat to the entire team.
Even though Ye Yun didn't think he would stay in the 'Spirit Snake' team for a long time, he still nodded heavily and said in a deep voice,
"Don't worry, Captain. I will take this seriously!"
Sun Qi smiled and nodded, then introduced the information of City 008.
"This City 008 was an extremely prosperous city before the Great Nirvana. Because it is close to the ocean, the deeper you go into the city, the higher the level of monsters you will encounter. This time we are mainly training you. We will only wander around the periphery of City 008, and the monsters we usually deal with will not exceed the general level. We will train you appropriately while ensuring your safety to the greatest extent!"
Following the 'Spirit Snake' team, the four of them gradually moved away from the military base.
At this time, Ye Yun could clearly feel that the expressions of Sun Qi and the other two had become focused, and they were full of vigilance. Whether it was Sun Qi's spear, Liu Gu's broadsword, or Zhou Yun's whip, they were all in their hands, ready to go into combat at any time.
The four of them avoided the beast-soldier-level monsters along the way and moved quickly towards the direction of City 008. As an elite warrior team, their team usually chose warrior-level monsters as their targets. Unless they were particularly rare monsters, they would not attack beast-soldier-level monsters because the benefits were too low.
Sun Qi was very familiar with the route. They only rested for a few hours in between. After spending several days, the team finally arrived at the edge of City 008.
Ye Yun originally thought that Sun Qi and the others would let him practice fighting other monsters on the way, but he did not expect that after two days of hard work he would directly enter the outskirts of City 008. Fortunately, the four of them were all general-level masters and did not feel overwhelmed, and their condition remained at its peak.
Looking at the ruins not far away, Ye Yun could vaguely feel the prosperity of City 008 before the Great Nirvana. He couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Human beings are really extremely fragile at certain times, but they are always full of tenacious vitality. Perhaps it is because of this that they can become the top race in the universe.
After entering City 008, Sun Qi and the other two were undoubtedly more nervous. He pulled Ye Yun and whispered,
"Ye Yun, the main purpose this time is to train and test you to a certain extent, so we will find a lone primary general monster, and then Liu Gu will injure it, and then it will be left to you to deal with. What do you think of this arrangement?"
In fact, in Sun Qi's mind, he could have carried out such a plan before entering City 008. However, he didn't know whether he was lucky or not, but he didn't encounter any general-level monsters along the way. He had to carry it out after entering City 008.
Ye Yun was a little nervous, but he nodded in agreement. It was his first time coming to the wilderness area of City 008, and he had to deal with a beast general-level monster for the first time. It had to be said that Ye Yun was not very confident, but after the training of the warrior's actual combat assessment, he had mastered the body skills, and after a month of closed training, he was already ready for actual operations. Ye Yun believed that if he could fully exert his strength, he would still be able to defeat a beast general-level monster.
The four of them quickly came to the top of a tall building. Liu Gu silently opened the long box on his back, revealing a nearly two-meter-long thick gun inside. The long barrel was shining coldly, and it was obvious at first glance that it had extremely strong power.
Liu Gu came to the edge of the roof with the gun. Sun Qi introduced it to Ye Yun in a low voice,
"This is a specially made S-875 heavy sniper rifle. One bullet costs 100,000 Chinese yuan, but it is one of the few thermal weapons that can cause certain damage to beast general-level monsters. However, it can only deal with some primary beast general-level monsters, and its lethality is limited. If it is stronger, it will basically be impossible to take the initiative, but it still has a certain restraining effect during the battle."
Ye Yun nodded slightly. He understood the logic behind it. As their strength increased, the reaction speed and defense capabilities of the beast general-level monsters could easily avoid the attacks of thermal weapons, making them ineffective. Therefore, thermal weapons and firearms were generally used to deal with groups of monsters below the beast general level. That was where they could exert their greatest power.
Liu Gu aimed the scope of his sniper rifle in the direction of the building, while Sun Qi and Zhou Yun were also not idle. They each took out a high-power telescope and scanned the surrounding situation. While helping to search for the target monster, they were also on guard against possible dangers.
After a while, Zhou Yun's short call came from the right.
"Lao Liu, over here, we found the target!"
Liu Gu and Sun Qi instantly changed positions and came to the direction where Zhou Yun was. Ye Yun also took out his telescope and immediately saw a leopard-shaped monster with a gray body and some white stripes appearing not far from the bottom of the building. It was looking down for prey.
"It's a white-striped leopard! Lao Liu, get ready to shoot!"
Liu Gu did not answer. He was completely focused, as if the only things in the world were the gun in his hand and the white-striped leopard in the distance. Not long after, a dull bang was heard, and Ye Yun saw a deep cut on the left front thigh of the white-striped leopard. Bright red blood gushed out instantly. The white-striped leopard let out a sharp roar and turned to flee.
"Hurry, Ye Yun!"
Sun Qi jumped down from the roof first, and Ye Yun followed him without saying a word. He rolled forward, and then at Sun Qi's signal, he ran straight towards the white-striped leopard.
Sun Qi judged from the moment the white-striped spirit leopard was shot that this white-striped spirit leopard was only a junior beast general level, so he made a decision on the spot. This white-striped spirit leopard would be the first opponent Ye Yun would face after joining their team.
As a primary beast general-level monster, the white-striped leopard already has considerable intelligence. The moment it was shot, it realized that it had been ambushed and wanted to retreat directly, but it did not expect Ye Yun to come so quickly and almost instantly appeared in front of it. It had to endure the injury on its left front thigh and fight with Ye Yun who pounced on it.
Ye Yun held the long sword tightly in his hand and used all his strength to display his body skills. While dodging the attack of the white-striped spirit leopard, he was also looking for the right time to attack. However, the white-striped spirit leopard was obviously very experienced in combat. After just a few attempts, it roughly understood Ye Yun's level and immediately launched a more fierce attack. It was seriously injured and blood was still pouring out. It was not suitable for a long battle. The white-striped spirit leopard naturally wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
Seeing Ye Yun being suppressed, Sun Qi and Zhou Yun who jumped down later showed a trace of worry on their faces, but neither of them meant to help. Although Ye Yun was very "precious", he absolutely could not lack the necessary training, otherwise he would just be a show-off and could not become a real strong man.
However, Sun Qi and Zhou Yun were both experienced fighters. After a while, they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Zhou Yun said uncertainly,
"Captain, is Ye Yun's body movement at the subtle level?"
Sun Qi was also a little uncertain.
"Such a subtle dodge, although lacking in experience, is indeed in line with the characteristics of subtle body movements. And look at Ye Yun's swordsmanship, although it is immature, his foundation is undoubtedly extremely solid. To be able to achieve this at the age of seventeen, Ye Yun is not just a gifted man."
At this time, Ye Yun had eliminated the tension he had at the beginning of the battle and finally got into the state completely, exerting all his strength. In particular, the injured white-striped leopard had its own agility greatly reduced, and the threat to Ye Yun was reduced to a higher level again.
As the battle progressed, Ye Yun felt extremely refreshed. In the previous warrior combat assessment, he had been facing primary beast soldier-level monsters. As he had suppressed his strength, the battle was actually a bit uncomfortable. However, the primary beast general-level white-striped spirit leopard in front of him allowed him to exert his strength freely. Every sword strike and every dodge made Ye Yun feel his own progress. This feeling made Ye Yun unable to help but immerse himself in it.
