Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 239: 166, it’s time to make a move.

Lin Zichen’s perception radiated out in an instant, saturating the entire corridor.

Under the amplification of [Danger Perception], it quickly spread throughout the entire third floor, engaging in 360-degree perception with no dead angles.

There were four rooms on the third floor.

In the middle of each room stood a fully armed robot.

Among them, three robots were covered with marks of being attacked.

Bullet holes, fist indents, blade scars… they were riddled with them.

However, there were no fatal injuries, all were superficial wounds on the surface.

His gaze fell on the ground, where he saw fresh blood that had not yet coagulated, broken teeth, and shattered mechanical limbs.

Most likely, someone from the three teams that had just failed to clear the level had been injured by the robots.

From the traces left at the scene, the injuries looked serious.

From this, it was evident that the robots in the room were not only highly defensive but also incredibly offensive.

“Is everyone ready?”

Zhao Yuanzhong looked at everyone and said, “If we’re ready, let’s go in and find out what’s happening.”

Shangguan Yueying said, “I still feel numb and can’t muster any strength, how about we rest a bit more?”

Zhang Kai stood up from the ground, looking down and fixing his arm, and said indifferently, “The ABC teams stronger than ours have all been wiped out; we’re certainly going to be wiped out, so there’s no point in resting. Just go in and get it over with.”

Zhao Yuanzhong turned to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan and asked, “What about you two?”

Lin Zichen said, “Let’s go in now.”

Shen Qinghan said, “I also agree to go in now.”

Zhao Yuanzhong said, “The minority will follow the majority, so let’s just go in now.”

Upon making the decision,

all five of them got up from the ground and were at full alert, preparing to enter the rooms on the third floor.

“I’m going to open the door and enter.”

Zhao Yuanzhong walked to the door, placed his hand on it, and made a motion to push it open.

Lin Zichen said, “Open it.”

Zhang Kai said, “Quit dawdling and open it quickly.”

“Creak—”

Zhao Yuanzhong pushed open the door in front of him.

Immediately, the several people saw a metal room scattered with cover positions and a robot standing motionless at the center of the room.

The robot’s size was a notch bigger than an average adult male.

It looked to be around 2.5 meters in height.

Its body was made of pure alloy.

Its arms were equipped with machine guns, and its feet were fitted with an anti-recoil propulsion device, while its back was equipped with a large machete.

It looked like it had high combat capability.

Upon seeing such a robot, Zhang Kai exclaimed in shock, “Damn, that’s freaking cool!”

Zhao Yuanzhong was on high alert, “Is this robot our opponent for the third challenge?”

“Do you think there might be a pilot inside?”

Shangguan Yueying turned to Shen Qinghan and asked.

Shen Qinghan shook his head, “I’m not sure.”

Lin Zichen didn’t speak; he silently sized up the robot in front of him, dispersing his perception to peer inside the robot.

All mechanical and electronic parts.

There was no pilot inside the robot.

“Click! Click! Click…”

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from inside the robot.

The moment the sound occurred,

the robots’ dim eyes lit up with a sinister red glow.

Then, it abruptly raised its arms loaded with machine guns and started spraying bullets at the five of them.

“Dada! Dada! Dada…”

This firing happened in the blink of an eye.

Luckily, as all five of them were vigilant, they immediately found cover to hide behind the moment the robot raised its arms.

“Bang! Bang! Bang…”

The bullets hitting the metal cover made a piercingly loud noise.

In just an instant, the previously indestructible metal cover was pitted and left with a mass of visible bullet holes.

“It’s armor-piercing bullets!”

Zhao Yuanzhong loudly warned, “Everyone be careful not to get hit, or your bones will be pierced through!”

He didn’t need to remind them; they all knew this very well.

They tightly squeezed behind the cover, waiting for the robot to run out of armor-piercing bullets.

However, the robot’s ammunition was abundant.

After nearly half a minute of continuous firing, there was no sign of the firepower weakening.>

On the contrary, it intensified even more.

Metal covers, less than 20 centimeters thick, could not withstand being shot at by armor-piercing bullets for that long and were showing signs of being about to get pierced through.

“That robot’s ammo is too plentiful!”

“We can’t go on like this!”

“We have to strike back using the covers for protection before they get destroyed!”

Zhao Yuanzhong shouted to the others around him.

He was almost screaming at the top of his lungs.

The noise made by the armor-piercing bullets hitting the metal cover was too loud; without shouting, others simply couldn’t hear him.

“Let’s just forfeit,” Shangguan Yueying suggested.

“The teams before us all failed to clear, we have no chance of passing.”

She didn’t want to get hurt and just wanted to quickly finish this camp entry assessment.

Zhao Yuanzhong said, “Even if the hope of clearing is slim, we can’t forfeit, otherwise we’ll definitely be severely criticized by the instructors when we go out later.”

Zhang Kai disagreed, “I think we should choose to forfeit.”

After saying this, he continued, “When encountering an unbeatable enemy, what we need to do first is to preserve our lives, not to knowingly march to our deaths.”

“That’s what idiots do.”

“Only if we are alive can we continue to be useful; dead, we lose everything and only waste the nation’s training.”

“To sum up, I think forfeiting is the correct choice.”

“Not only will we not get criticized afterward, but we might even be praised by the instructors.”

Zhang Kai spoke persuasively and logically.

Yet, he was a bit fallacious in his argument.

It was an entry assessment for the camp, not a real battlefield; there was no reason to forfeit.

Zhao Yuanzhong knew Zhang Kai was being fallacious and retorted, “This is an entry assessment; the worst that can happen is we get hurt, there’s no freaking need to forfeit!”
