Chapter 106 Attack Or Get Killed
Zoravec knew that the other candidates were terrified upon the sudden starting of the test. However, it was his time to make his head's value cost a fortune. Zoravec turned towards Blake and shouted at him, while he prepared himself to craft some strategy for attacking. He knew that the study of the possible movements of the soldiers was necessary.
But before he could do something, right before he could say the speculations to Blake, a frightened boy shouted. Zoravec turned his head only to see a short heighted guy recklessly attacking the dhampir soldier who was in front of him. The boy curled his fingers into a fist and intended to punch the soldier, instead the man grabbed him by the head with one hand over the neck.
Zoravec did not stop the guy or did anything, he had to sacrifice someone to ensure his hunch. And that little kid had already presented himself as scapegoat, the soldier broke his neck within one swift movement. The kid's lifeless body dropped on the floor with a thud, a panic was created right after the scene.
Yelling and screaming intensified in the hall, Zoravec was also stunned to witness the sight. However, he reflexively looked at Blake and Clara, only the girl appeared composed and calm. Perhaps she knew the nature of the test was not simple as it seemed and was told this beforehand.
'Dammit! It seems like a kill or die situation. We have to attack them, otherwise these soldiers will kill us mercilessly. But why would they appoint trained men to fight newbies like us?'
Zoravec knew something was still hiding from his eyes. Because it was obvious newbies like them were unable to defeat the trained men.
Nonetheless, Zoravec had to inform Blake and form a group of applicants who were ready and willing to attack. Thus, he immediately looked around and saw countable people who were analysing the situation. He shouted at Blake and looked at Clara right away, Zoravec knew they both would be willing to team up to survive.
"They are unarmed, we have to attack them before they attack us."
Upon hearing the words other applicants immediately settled themselves to fight. A few started attacking with everything they had including weapons. The soldiers did not hold back from killing those who used any kind of weaponry.
However Zoravec clearly witnessed that the dhampirs gave some leeway to the ones who came forward bare handed. Blake understood and hurriedly moved closer to Zoravec, Clara followed his lead and the three of them formed a small circle. Whereas the rest applicants recklessly picked their targets and started to land some attack on them.
"We can't tackle so many men in solo combat, let's team up."
Zoravec was sure in his stance that it would be successful and they would be able to be defensive. But to craft some strategy they had to buy some time, Zoravec knew a lot of sacrifice was needed for that. And the rest of the comrades were already serving the purpose.
"Let's try to divert any one of those attention and then attack him. I will pick the one on the right and keep him busy, you guys try to hit him. I am certain the task involves just 'understanding the task' rather than surviving. The pentagon knows we can't defeat pro soldiers, it's expected we will die if survival is the task."
Blake's speculations were accurate and it proved that Zoravec was on the right track. They both had displayed their understanding and now was the time for teamwork. Clara had already decided that she would seize the chance to attack the targeted soldier to increase her points.
Zoravec nodded at both of them and Blake dashed towards the dhampir soldier on his right. Blake approached him and pushed the ground to lift himself up in the air by balancing his weight. As soon as he pounced on the soldier Blake grabbed his both hands. He leaped and pulled the dhampir backwards with himself which exposed all his torso for the opponent.
It was the moment Clara seized the chance and rushed towards them, she had already saved her weapons and attacked the dhampir's torso. Zoravec did not hold back and targeted the soldier's feet, he slumped and extended his one leg while supporting himself on palms. Everything happened within just a few seconds that the soldier could not react.
Or perhaps he deliberately did not react or defended himself since they understood the task cleverly and accurately. Whereas the rest of the comrades had already lost their lives, while a few reflexively teamed up like the three of them. The soldier twisted his wrists and broke free from Blake's grip and in the process he injured Blake's wrist bone.
The soldier's face was covered with black mask like rest of his body was clad in skinfit suit of similar colour. Blake fell on the floor as the dhampir soldier pushed Clara with force. She was sent away on the marbled floor as if somebody had dragged her all the way away from the three guys.
Now was Zoravec's turn as the soldier looked down on him, even though Zoravec could not see his eyes he knew the dhampir glared at him.
'Oh no!'
It did not take any further moment before Zoravec was kicked away. The force of the kick over his chest has a huge impact that it made him cough blood. He somehow still managed to lift himself from the floor to look towards his opponent.
Zoravec saw the dhampir making a movement which soon got interrupted by a loud voice which seemed like a single clap. Zoravec, Clara and Blake, all looked at the possible source which made them shift their gazes towards the front of the hall. The wall which was opposite to the entrance had a huge speaker from where the sound came before a holographic figure appeared.
