Chapter 347 Entering the Forest
This assessment was different from any adventure they had experienced before, as the authorities did not provide them with any means of transportation.
Although they have some of their own means of transportation, they also understand that they cannot easily expose their special equipment in such an assessment environment.
Nangong Jingming knew very well that there must be surveillance cameras hidden everywhere on this planet at this moment. Only in this way could the assessors fully understand the performance of each team and accurately judge who was the real strong one.
The group trudged along their chosen route through the dense forest. Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows that added a touch of tranquility and eeriness to the mysterious forest. They advanced cautiously, each one maintaining a high level of vigilance, constantly aware of their surroundings.
After an hour's journey, they finally encountered a Zerg. It was massive, exuding a sickening aura. Its eyes flashed with a fierce gleam, as if threatening to provoke them. However, facing a formidable force of fifty men, it stood no chance. Almost instantly, the team members reacted swiftly, weapons drawn, and charged at the Zerg. Blades flashed, accompanied by the Zerg's roars. In a matter of moments, the Zerg fell before the siege.
No one has ever used the mecha, so the problem is solved.
"There are so few Zerg on this road!" One team member looked at the fallen Zerg with a hint of regret on his face and couldn't help but whisper. In his heart, he had been looking forward to encountering more Zerg, so that he could earn more points and win a better result for the team.
"I believe there will definitely be a lot of Zergs appearing later," Chen Zeyu said firmly, his eyes revealing a sense of confidence and expectation. In his opinion, Nangong Jingming's decision could not be wrong. Although the number of Zerg encountered so far was small, it did not mean that the situation would be the same later.
"Brother Chen, how did you know that?" Number One looked at Chen Zeyu with a puzzled look and couldn't help asking. His eyes were full of curiosity, and he was very puzzled by Chen Zeyu's certainty.
"My intuition tells me that if we follow them, we'll definitely achieve great results," Chen Zeyu said firmly, his voice full of trust in Nangong Jingming and confidence in the team. His intuition had always been accurate, and he had relied on it many times in the past to avoid danger and achieve success.
"Brother Chen's intuition has always been amazing," Number Two said with complete conviction. He was completely impressed by Chen Zeyu's intuition. In his eyes, Chen Zeyu was like a person with a mysterious power who always made the right judgments.
"Alright, we're a team now. Remember this: you must unconditionally believe what the captain says. You can have doubts, but you must follow them. Otherwise, you'll no longer be my brother, Chen Zeyu." Chen Zeyu turned around and looked at the people he brought with him, his expression serious and earnest. He understood the importance of teamwork. In such a challenging assessment, only by working together and following the captain's instructions could they achieve ultimate victory.
"Yes, we understand." Everyone responded solemnly and in low voices. Although their voices were not loud, they were filled with firmness and determination.
Nangong Jingming's mental power was already very strong. Although they spoke in low voices, he still heard every word clearly with his keen mental perception. However, he did not respond on the spot.
After all, everyone had just gotten together, and it would take time for them to adjust and get to know each other. The character of Chen Zeyu and the people he brought with him, and how they would perform in the face of various difficulties and challenges, would require careful observation during the subsequent assessment process. He believed that time would reveal the truest answer, and he would lead this newly formed team with tolerance and patience, forging ahead through this brutal assessment and writing their own legend together.
"Boss, I've noticed some movement ahead. It doesn't look human." Yin Yuncheng hurried back from the front, his expression a mix of nervousness and excitement. As a pioneer in exploring the path, his observation skills were always sharp. Just now, he had discovered some unusual marks in the grass and mud ahead, which made him realize that something important might be happening. He hurried back to report to Nangong Jingming.
"Oh, take me there." Nangong Jingming's eyes sharpened upon hearing this. He knew full well that on this planet filled with unknowns and dangers, any abnormality could affect the safety of the team and the success of the assessment. Without hesitation, he immediately stood up and prepared to go check it out.
"Chen Zeyu, come with me." The moment Nangong Jingming took a step forward, he suddenly remembered that Chen Zeyu had a rich knowledge of Zerg-related knowledge, and taking him with him might help him judge the situation more quickly.
"Okay, Captain." Chen Zeyu's eyes flashed with surprise. Being named by the captain to go along meant Nangong Jingming trusted him, which made him very happy. He hurried to catch up. In his opinion, if the captain was not willing to use their team members, then the team's cooperation would inevitably be affected. The current situation was undoubtedly a good start.
The three of them quickly advanced along the winding path, soon arriving at the spot where Yin Yuncheng had discovered the anomaly. Nangong Jingming crouched down, carefully examining the faint marks on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly. "Chen Zeyu, take a look at these marks. What could they be?" He looked up at Chen Zeyu, his gaze filled with anticipation.
"Let me take a closer look!" Chen Zeyu crouched down, his gaze focused, inch by inch, over the marks on the ground, taking in every detail. His fingers gently touched the edges, feeling the depth and shape of the marks. After a long moment, he slowly stood up, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
"Captain, if I'm not mistaken, there are traces of crawling insects here, and there are a lot of them." Chen Zeyu pointed to the ground and said in an orderly manner, "But judging from the direction of these traces, the place they are going to is probably not the route we originally wanted to take." His analysis was well-reasoned, which made Nangong Jingming and Yin Yuncheng nod in agreement.
"Can you confirm what level of Zerg it is?" Nangong Jingming asked immediately. After all, they were new to the world of interstellar Zerg and had relatively little experience. Chen Zeyu's experience was particularly important at this time, so he specifically asked Chen Zeyu to come along to make the assessment.
