Chapter 688: Chapter 686 The Mont of Eating (Three)_1 Chapter 688: Chapter 686 The Mont of Eating (Three)_1 So I even have to queue up to be cannon fodder?
Following the instructions, Fu Qian took a seat next to Brother 1349 and mused inwardly.
The two guards didn’t linger and quickly left.
But that didn’t an they could move around at will.
Nearby, more guards could be seen watching intently; it was clear that the security on the lowest level was much stricter than above.
Moreover, although the test room in front of everyone was large, it certainly didn’t occupy an entire floor. Who knows what else might be placed underneath.
While observing, Fu Qian noticed sothing odd.
Brother 1349 in front of him showed absolutely no intention of proceeding with the test.
Are there still people in the room?
Are there so many people showing abnormal reactions?
As he was pondering, he heard the elevator door from the direction they ca open once again.
Fu Qian turned to look and saw that the two guards had actually brought another person with them.
It was a very young woman, just over twenty by the looks of it.
Her chestnut hair was soft and lustrous, and she even wore delicate makeup, her eyes looking around animatedly as she moved.
Her expression full of anticipation and her shopping-like deanor provided a stark contrast to Brother 1349.
Amid his musings, the woman had already quickly reached in front of him.
Hi!
She didn’t even sit down but greeted Fu Qian and Brother 1349 with a light and cheery voice.
[6666]
As she turned her body, Fu Qian could also see the number on her back.
This one’s a heavy hitter!
Fu Qian greeted her with a smile and clicked his tongue in admiration of the number.
“Is there still soone inside?”
After greeting them, the woman quickly voiced the question that was on Fu Qian’s mind.
“No.”
To everyone’s surprise, the guard actually didn’t leave right away but cooperated and answered her.
“According to instructions, the three of you must enter together this ti.”
The next mont, a team leader-looking fellow stepped forward, pointing at the three of them, Fu Qian included.
So were we actually waiting to be tead up just now?
Fu Qian glanced at Brother 1349 who had arrived first, regretfully noting that the other party remained impassive, without any reaction.
“Alright, don’t waste ti.”
As he spoke, the team leader had pressed the control device, and the tightly sealed silver-white tal door in front of everyone slowly began to slide open to both sides.
Unfortunately, another door was revealed behind it, preventing them from seeing what was really inside.
“The procedure is the sa as last ti, stay inside for five minutes.”
“Once the outer door closes, the one in front of you will automatically open, and then you must quickly enter the innermost testing area.”
The team leader watched Fu Qian and the other two until they had all entered through the first door.
“After five minutes, the second door will open again, and you must return here.”
As he spoke, the door slowly closed behind the three of them.
I can’t help feeling a bit nervous. Is the thing inside so terrifying?
Taking in the guards’ reactions, Fu Qian saw the inner door had now opened a crack.
The next mont, Fu Qian finally laid eyes on the test subject of the Underground Research Facility.
This is…
But the thing that appeared before him made Fu Qian frown for a mont.
“The creature’s form was indeed a challenge to the imagination.”
“Standing nearly two ters tall, it had a pale green body that seed to be made of a material sowhere between tal and flesh.”
“At first glance, it appeared almost hollow, rely an outline.”
“But upon closer inspection, one could realize that this was actually a kind of visual trickery, ford by dark stripes at certain areas on its body.”
“It gave the illusion of a dreamlike fantasy.”
“And the reason it was referred to as a creature was that it definitely had the semblance of a living being, with long antennae and twisted spines—its form was quite bizarre.”
“If one had to describe it, it would be like a massive lichen katydid, but standing there in the posture of a horse.”
“And almost imdiately, there actually were horse cries.”
“Dull, distorted.”
“Fu Qian could be certain that the thing before his eyes was like a dead object, utterly motionless; the sound was directly manifesting in his consciousness.”
“The degree of intrusion was comparable to a mission prompt; there was no blocking it.”
“[Containnt success condition: Eliminate Gaya Ulrich before the horse cries stop.]”
“No sooner had this thought surfaced in his mind than the mission prompt actually appeared.”
“Isn’t that a bit too on the nose?”
“Amidst his admiration, Fu Qian did not waste any ti analyzing the conditions for containnt success.”
“There was no need to ask, the horse cries were undoubtedly this very scene.”
“According to the prompt, the sound wasn’t ant to be continuous, but rather would stop at a certain point in ti.”
“He would need to find an opportunity to understand this later, to facilitate the grasp of his actions—it would be best to find the records of this test.”
“Fu Qian easily rembered Dr. Cynthia he had encountered just before.”
“There was a high probability she had relevant materials in hand.”
“Besides that, eliminate Gaya Ulrich.”
“While there were so restrictive conditions, this mission type was his favorite.”
“To cut down a person, and the na was even specified.”
“At a glance, it was almost like happiness laid out before him.”
“However, his team of cannon fodder all seed to be just numbers right now; if the target indeed wore an orange suit, it might require a bit more effort when the ti ca.”
“…”
“While pondering, Fu Qian multitasked without ever neglecting the current situation.”
“By his estimation, about half the ti had already passed.”
“But as of now, it didn’t seem like anything special had occurred.”
“The horse cries were unpleasant, but for soone like him, battle-hardened, they didn’t even amount to an irritating noise.”
“It wasn’t just him; the other two test subjects, re commoners of low rank, seed only slightly bewildered and didn’t appear too troubled.”
“anwhile, Fu Qian could feel that the horse cries were not unchanging.”
“This strange, discordant howling fluctuated like tides, seemingly following a specific rhythm.”
“So was this the sa situation for the previous subjects?
First entering this place one by one and after five minutes, proceeding to take a ntal resistance test?”
“Besides, according to the mission’s description, this thing in front of him should be quite dangerous, yet he felt nothing.”
“Considering his excessively high rank, Fu Qian quietly observed the peculiar ‘horse,’ trying to sense the fluctuations between the cries of the horse.”
“At one mont, he seed to feel his will undulating with that rhythm, experiencing a faint trace of bewildernt.”
“There really seems to be sothing special, huh?” Fu Qian frowned slightly.
“Although the feeling was slight, given that he was a demigod, and it could affect him, the rank of this thing was not low!”
“As he mused, he did not forget to observe his teammates.”
“Brother 1349 had sunk completely into stillness, not even moving his eyeballs, as if he had beco a statue.”
“Even Ms. 6, whose smile had by now faded, was staring at the ground; she seed sowhat averse and reluctant to look at the ‘horse’ in the center.”
