Chapter 843: Chapter 843

Tang Zheng’s face remained calm, but inside he was already cursing. It was clear that Blue Trojan intended to increase the difficulty for everyone; these newbies assigned to the task were definitely harboring discontent. A slight temptation and they might cause all sorts of trouble.

"Five minutes from now, the Survival Challenge Game will begin. Please select your equipment; each person can only pick one type!" The marble floor cracked open, and a black-painted hollow steel frame rose up, filled with all kinds of firearms, ammunition, and black boxes containing Protective Clothing.

"However, given that this round is the Title Contention War for the Fearless, equipment restrictions are lifted; you may choose freely, except the Green Elixir is an exception."

On one steel frame, test tubes filled with green liquid were arranged. These were what Blue Trojan was referring to. Tang Zheng, having been in the Trojan Room for so long, still did not know their effects.

Dantai inquired Xu Changtai, who smiled and gave a noncommittal response, not answering.

"Those black boxes are a must to take, then choose guns you are accustomed to as much as possible, making sure bullet calibers match." Dantai whispered to the Company Commander, reminding him to instruct his subordinates.

Despite Tang Zheng being the Group Leader, in the very cliquish military system, his words weren’t very effective unless a significant number of them died. Only then would they realize they couldn’t manage without Tang Zheng and change their attitude.

The Company Commander called out but was half a step slow. Soldiers love guns, especially when they saw a wide variety of weapons, they rushed forward to grab their favorites – a Barrett Sniper Rifle, an AK200, an MG42 Heavy Machine Gun, even a soldier picked up a Desert Eagle.

"Can we really just take any of these guns?" A soldier hung with three guns, still unsatisfied, continued to select.

"Grab more Ammo Clips; without bullets, no matter how many guns you carry, it’s useless." Tang Zheng shouted, and the soldiers then realized, reluctantly giving up the guns and stuffing compatible bullets into a black backpack.

"Everyone take a handheld console; it will assist you in completing your mission." Blue Trojan started distributing handheld consoles, then said no more, coldly beginning the countdown.

Neither of the two German teams inquired what the mission was. Xu Changtai couldn’t hold back any longer and gave North Wind a significant look.

"Do as I say, or I’ll beat you," North Wind grabbed an Old Man, threatening him viciously.

"What’s the mission?" The Old Man was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, his body trembling nonstop.

"Useless." North Wind’s gaze swept around and then dragged a female University student over to ask.

"What’s the mission?" The University student, terrified, could only do as North Wind said.

"The final objective of this mission is to kill the Death Worm Mother. Branch missions will be notified on the handheld console." Within its scope of duties, Blue Trojan could not refuse to answer, but it would charge for its services, punishing these Base People for disturbing it. "The query costs ten points, please pay."

The University student looked to North Wind, who snorted and released her, walking over to Xu Changtai. This update is available on novelꞁire.net

"I don’t have any," the University student cried in fear, feeling helpless and without anyone comforting her.

"By the rules, we will use one of your right hands as payment. However, since you are a Newbie, we’ll give you a fifty percent discount. Use three of your fingers to pay, please choose." Blue Trojan showed no mercy.

"Ah? I won’t." The University student looked to her classmates, "Please, please save me."

"I’ll pay for her," Tang Zheng called out, knowing that if the girl had her fingers cut off, she would be ruined and would undoubtedly die upon entering the Game.

With Tang Zheng’s words, suddenly many eyes fell upon him, even Xu Changtai, playing the good guy, wouldn’t waste his points.

"Is this guy an idiot?" Yaoyao was baffled.

"Request denied, expired, three fingers will be randomly severed." As soon as Blue finished speaking, the University student’s hands were pulled up, and then three fingers were chopped off, blood splattering.

All the newbies winced, feeling the pain just looking at it.

The girl screamed in agony. Bai Guo took out a medical kit and ran over to bandage her.

This time, the noisy Trojan Room quieted down; this scene taught the newbies the cruelty of the Game.

"Time’s up, teleportation will begin."

"Upon entering the Game, stay on alert first." Tang Zheng took out the Heavy Magnetostorm Rifle. Although these bullets were a bit expensive, he could still afford them, and entering the Game for the first time, he had to show his strength to intimidate both the newbies and enemies. Besides, he thought it was better to clear the environment and assess the danger level before switching to a second-rate rifle later.

The other three squads were tough as well, the moment they revealed their weapons, even someone as composed as Dantai was taken aback.

"Are they all S-grade?" Pang Meiqin thought she was seeing things, but looking at those Heavy Firearms, any final words she had turned into a cold breath sucked down into her stomach.

survivors blacked out, and as their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a jungle, surrounded by green vegetation. A breeze blew, and the rustling of the leaves immediately drifted to their eardrums.

"So hot." Yao Feng exclaimed, tugging at his collar.

It felt like being in a Tropical Rainforest, not just hot but also a dampness rising from the ground, hanging on their skin and making them uncomfortable.

Underfoot was over two inches of rotten fallen leaves, where whole feet could sink in as if stepping in mud, that slimy sensation was truly disgusting.

"Stay alert, no reckless Opening fire," Qin Yan warned in a low voice, "Bai Guo, scout around and check the positions of the other squads."
