Chapter 111 Does it look good?
Fang Yanqing led her to a tall building.
The guards at the gate nodded and greeted Fang Yanqing.
"Hello, Base Captain."
Fang Yanqing's emotions remained relatively calm; he simply hummed in response, went straight to the elevator, pressed the button, and waited for the elevator to arrive.
While waiting for the elevator, Cang Xingyue looked up and sized him up.
He had a cold demeanor, keeping people at arm's length, and possessed the aloofness of a leader. Following behind him felt like being a lackey accompanying a big shot on a street stroll.
His superior height and appearance are comparable to Lu Siyan's.
"Is it pretty?" he suddenly asked out of the blue.
Caught peeking, Cang Xingyue turned her head away awkwardly, blurting out in a fluster, "I like watching."
Fang Yanqing's usually calm face showed a rare expression of surprise, and the way he looked at her from the side had a strange look in his eyes.
Cang Xingyue then belatedly realized what she had said, turning "looks good" into "love to look at".
Moreover, he is now a man named Xiangzi. Not only did he peek at her, but he also said that she liked to watch. This... might cause her to misunderstand.
She looked a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, my orientation is perfectly normal. I like men, oh wait, I don't like men..."
Her ill-considered explanations only made things worse.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Yanqing chuckled and said, "I understand." Then, without making a sound, she took a step away from her.
Cang Xingyue was devastated. No, you don't understand, you don't understand at all!
Just then, the elevator arrived. Fang Yanqing entered the elevator first, and Cang Xingyue gave up the idea of explaining further and followed him in.
Fang Yanqing pressed the button for the tenth floor. Cang Xingyue stood in the corner with her arms crossed, feeling a little nervous as the elevator ascended.
The two exited the elevator, walked through a long corridor, and arrived at a metal door.
"There are three stages in the assessment, and this is the first stage assessment room," Fang Yanqing explained to her.
The metal door in front of us was extremely thick, without even windows, so we couldn't see inside at all, nor could we hear a single sound. Next to the door was a long table with several weapons on it.
Daggers, knives, guns, crossbows, bows, swords, etc.
He casually picked up a submachine gun, examined it, and asked nonchalantly, "What was the first test?"
Fang Yanqing also picked up a dagger and played with it: "If you don't use your special ability to survive inside for thirty minutes, dying, getting injured, or using your special ability will all be considered a failure."
Looking at the gun in her hand, he said, "It seems you've already chosen your weapon for self-defense. Let's begin."
Cang Xingyue stared blankly at the submachine gun in her hand; she had only picked it up to look at it and had no idea how to use it.
Can I choose again?
"No, the first weapon you pick up is your choice, and it cannot be changed."
He refused her coldly, then opened the door and gestured for her to enter.
Left with no other choice, Cang Xingyue accepted her fate and walked into the assessment room with the weapon she had 'chosen'.
As soon as I entered, the door slammed shut, and all the lights inside turned on.
She squinted at the bright light, and after her eyes adjusted, she began to observe the room.
There was no furniture here; it was very spacious, and there was a large black curtain directly opposite.
"The assessment begins." Fang Yanqing's voice came from the loudspeaker on the wall.
As he finished speaking, a black curtain rose in front of him, revealing a cage filled with zombies hidden behind it.
When the curtain rises to its highest point, the cage opens automatically.
At that moment, a red light lit up on the floor where Cang Xingyue was standing, as if some mechanism had been triggered and an alarm sounded immediately. The still zombies seemed to have received a command and instantly rushed towards the source of the sound.
She quickly ran away from the sound of the alarm, her feet clattering on the floor.
After she left, the red light on the floor where she had been standing disappeared, the alarm sound also stopped, and the zombie suddenly turned around and chased after her.
As Cang Xingyue ran, gun in hand, she frantically asked the system, "System, do you know how to use this thing?"
"The first step is... then... that's it."
After frantically following the system's instructions, I stopped and turned around to aim at the zombie.
After she stopped, the zombie statues, having lost their target, also stopped.
Cang Xingyue was puzzled. Why did these zombies stop?
She tried to take a step back, and her foot landed on the floor with a thud. The zombie then moved a short distance closer to her.
After noticing this, she guessed that the zombies were attracted by the sound and moved.
To confirm her suspicions, she turned the gun she was aiming at the zombie toward the distant wall and pulled the trigger, firing a shot.
With a bang, the bullet hit the wall. The zombie first ran two steps toward her position, then turned and surged toward the wall that the bullet had hit.
It turns out that the zombies here are different from ordinary zombies.
Ordinary zombies are attracted by smells and sounds, and will also chase any living creature in their field of vision, but these zombies are only attracted by sounds.
Upon discovering this pattern, she immediately relaxed.
The first test was way too easy. She just had to stay still and those thirty minutes would pass by in no time.
Fang Yanqing sat in the control room, his hands on the table, fingers interlaced, watching the monitor screen with great interest.
He glanced at the wall clock; only five minutes had passed.
The zombies in the first assessment room are all lifelike robots designed to look like zombies. They only attack when they hear a sound, and anyone caught will just be beaten up and thrown out.
In the past, when people who participated in the assessment saw a horde of zombies, they would panic and run around in all directions.
The floor was made of a special material that amplified the sound of footsteps. This sound would inevitably attract zombies to chase after them, either getting them captured or having their powers used, or they would only discover the pattern when the time was almost up.
He was good; he noticed it in five minutes.
"Cang Yunyang? His observation skills are quite good."
The person in the surveillance footage is now sitting leisurely on the ground.
Fang Yanqing raised his hand and pressed the red button in front of him.
"The assessment isn't that simple." He stared intently at the screen, as if speaking to her.
