Chapter 235: 164, Intelligence Barrier_2

“I used to think that students from Jinda were the strongest, but it turns out the real powerhouses come from the military area and Robotics Group. I’ve been a frog at the bottom of the well.”

Shangguan Yueying shook her head and chuckled ruefully.

Standing beside her, Shen Qinghan really wanted to tell her:

——Indeed, the people from the military area and Robotics Group are much stronger than those from Jinda, but they are not the strongest. The strongest one is Lin Zi Chen, standing right next to you.

Soon, the speed contest ended.

Zhao Yuanzhong crossed under the banyan tree slightly ahead of the others, winning the speed contest.

Zhang Kai was somewhat unconvinced, “Don’t think you’re really faster than me, I just reacted slower at the start. It could have been anyone’s game.”

Zhao Yuanzhong laughed too, “Reaction time is part of the race, part of one’s capabilities. If you lose, you lose. Why make so many excuses?”

Zhang Kai said no more, otherwise he would indeed appear to be a sore loser.

Zhao Yuanzhong duly became the team leader.

“Captain, since you’re from the military area, you must be very familiar with this building. Tell us about the challenges inside,” Shangguan Yueying said to Zhao Yuanzhong.

Zhao Yuanzhong shook his head. “You think too much. I’m also here for specialized training, and I definitely don’t know the challenges inside. Otherwise, what would be the point of the training?”

“Is that so...”

Shangguan Yueying felt it was a pity.

Very soon.

The time reached 7:30 AM.

The D-gate in front of the five slowly opened.

“Let’s go, let’s go in.”

Zhao Yuanzhong charged in first.

Lin Zi Chen was not as eager, following at a leisurely pace.

Upon entering, they were greeted by a room transformed into steel.

The floor was steel.

The walls were steel.

Everywhere they looked, there was steel.

Lin Zi Chen glanced around and noticed the walls were riddled with holes of uniform size.

They looked like the dark muzzles of guns, ready to shoot bullets at any moment.

The others noticed these holes as well.

Shangguan Yueying said, “Those aren’t all gun barrels, are they?”

Zhang Kai replied, “Most likely are.”

Zhao Yuanzhong didn’t say anything; instead, he focused and activated the exotic beast gene within his body, which instantly covered him in a layer of hard scales.

His eyes too, turned fierce and sharp, as if they could peer through everything in the world.

A second-level Genetic Integrator: fused with the genes of an Armored Earth Dragon and a Ferocious Great Eagle...

After a glance at Zhao Yuanzhong, Lin Zi Chen quickly came to this conclusion.

“I’ll charge ahead; follow me!”

After dropping this line, Zhao Yuanzhong took a quick step and dashed toward the iron door at the front.

As he crossed a beam of infrared light, the holes in the surrounding walls immediately expelled a barrage of bullets enveloped in gun smoke, showering down on him densely.

“Tat! Tat! Tat...”

The sound of a machine gun firing erupted.

Even the scales on Zhao Yuanzhong’s body were easily shattered and pierced by the bullets.

His body riddled with bullet holes.

He couldn’t hold on.

Shen Qinghan quickly caught on and took over immediately, kicking the door with all her might.

“Bang! Bang! Bang...”

Feeling her legs go numb, she stopped kicking, stepping aside to let Shangguan Yueying take her place.

One by one, they worked together in this manner.

After about half an hour,

only to hear a loud “boom.”

They finally succeeded in kicking the door down.

It was Zhao Yuanzhong who had done it.

Rubbing his tingling right leg, he said with a look of distress, “It’s numb. The first obstacle is this tough, how are we going to handle the next two?”

Zhang Kai said, “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

Having said that, he stepped over the fallen door and walked quickly towards the second floor.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Lin Zichen also walked at the end of the group, ensuring Shen Qinghan’s safety.

Upon reaching the second floor,

the moment they entered,

Lin Zichen saw a display screen on the wall.

It was showing the progress of the four teams clearing the obstacles.

He looked closer and saw that Teams A, B, and C had already moved on to the third obstacle.

Only his Team D had just finished the first obstacle and was on to the second, moving at a pitifully slow rate.

“Damn it, how can those bastards clear the obstacles so fast? We’re just at the second obstacle, and they’ve already advanced to the third, a bunch of freaks!”

Seeing the progress bar on the display screen, Zhang Kai felt deeply hit and began to doubt his life choices.

Zhao Yuanzhong, too, was getting anxious and quickly urged the four of them, “Stop looking, let’s move on, no dawdling.”

He knew his team was bound to come in last, but he didn’t want it to be too embarrassing. The faster they got through the obstacles, the more face he could save.

Quickly, everyone entered the second obstacle.

It was another metal room.

But what was different were the walls all around, which had no bullet holes, only the wall in front of them with a metal door that had a display screen installed on it.

Above the door, the word “Intelligence” was inscribed.

So... was this obstacle testing their intelligence?

Thinking this, Lin Zichen walked straight towards the door with the display screen, to test if he would be under attack.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan quickly followed.

“Be careful!”

Shangguan Yueying cautioned the two as they strode directly towards the door.

However, as they walked, they encountered no attacks.

As expected, this obstacle was indeed a test of intelligence and wouldn’t attack them with a sudden hail of bullets like the first one... thought Lin Zichen to himself.

Behind him, Zhao Yuanzhong, Zhang Kai, and Shangguan Yueying, seeing that it was safe to walk directly over, immediately quickened their pace.

Lin Zichen stopped in front of the door, curiously examining the display screen on it.

In the display, there appeared a virtual character continuously playing rock-paper-scissors.

Next to the virtual character, there were three pieces of text with prompts.

[Win once, the metal door opens by two centimeters]

[Tie once, the metal door opens by one centimeter]

[Lose once, the metal door closes by three centimeters, and a fierce attack will be launched]
