Chapter 147 The warden is being pursued by a top-tier prisoner? (43)
The planet Aldos is perpetually humid, flat, and covered in lush vegetation with towering trees. Due to its high degree of greening, few people settle there.
Later, it was requisitioned by the military and used as a military planet. The recruitment assessment for the First Legion was conducted on this planet.
Military surveillance cameras have been installed in almost every corner of the planet, allowing invigilators to monitor the candidates' situation at any time.
Every year, many federal citizens want to join the First Legion. In order to select talents with excellent physical and mental abilities, all those who sign up for the army will compete here.
They were equipped with packages issued by the military containing essential supplies for survival.
In addition, there was a sniper rifle.
If a fatal blow is hit, the opponent will be immediately eliminated.
Shen Wangchuan nimbly weaved through the branches, leaping from one tree to another.
His candidate number was 097, and it is said that there were thousands of candidates in Aldos this time.
As a medium-sized planet, the arrival of so many people at once has resulted in a very low population density; you'll encounter someone almost every few kilometers.
Therefore, he must use his mental power to probe at any time while moving forward.
He leaped onto another tree, a knowing glint in his eyes.
Two people have run into each other near a thicket of bushes about a kilometer apart, and they are currently testing each other.
As a high-level alpha, Shen Wangchuan possesses exceptional mental strength, enabling him to probe distant locations while remaining undetected by the mental strength of lower-level alphas.
Although the First Legion equipped each candidate with a sniper rifle, and even thoughtfully provided a silencer.
However, sniper rifles are not very useful in close combat.
After sizing each other up a few times, the two men started fighting, each wielding a dagger and evenly matched.
If he were to use a sniper rifle at this moment, he could take out both of them within three seconds.
Originally, he only wanted to be at the bottom of the class, as long as he could get into the First Legion.
He only learned before the exam that the higher the score he gained by eliminating opponents, the more opportunities he would have to choose a unit type.
If you're at the bottom of the class, you might end up in the mess hall.
His goal was clear from beginning to end, but he didn't want to see Ayan in the cooking squad; he simply couldn't bear to think about such a scene.
So, I can only apologize to these two guys.
Shen Wangchuan leaned against a tree, half-squatting and setting up his gun.
His mental strength advantage became apparent at this moment; he could clearly see the marks on their fatal points.
Shen Wangchuan narrowed his left eye and pulled the trigger with his right hand.
His aiming and firing movements were extremely smooth, even more so than those of soldiers who had received specialized training in the army.
With a "thud," the bullet sliced through the air and struck one of the men precisely in the heart.
As white smoke rose, the man's face was filled with disbelief.
Someone's lurking in the shadows!
He realized it too late, and was thus eliminated.
The other person became alert; the sniper needed five seconds to adjust after firing a shot before he could fire again.
He didn't care about anything else, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and his eyes lit up when he saw a stone not far away.
Hurry! Hurry up! As long as he gets there, we'll be safe.
He never expected that after taking only two steps, white smoke would rise from above his head.
how can that be!
I finally made it to Aldos to be tested, but I didn't expect to have such a bad start so soon.
The two eliminated players looked around for a long time but couldn't find the person who eliminated them. In the end, they had no choice but to put down their backpacks and weapons and equipment and head towards the rendezvous point.
Shen Wangchuan opened the terminal and smiled calmly when he saw that the points had changed from zero to two.
He was cautious and did not approach to pick up the supplies immediately.
After all, there are many people on this planet. If one is careless, one can only be a mantis or a cicada that gets caught. What he wants to do is be the oriole in the background.
He adjusted his mask, closed the glass visor on his helmet, and then jumped in another direction.
The original location has been exposed, and if an expert is encountered, it is easy to deduce his position based on the trajectory of the bullet.
After finding new trees to use as cover, all that's left is to wait.
Sure enough, more than a dozen people passed by that place afterward, walking past the supplies without any precautions.
Shen Wangchuan killed one cute girl with one shot; it has to be said that this fishing tactic is quite effective.
His score also jumped from single digits to double digits, and his ranking on the leaderboard continued to rise.
Compared to others who only gain one point every half hour, he gained points at lightning speed, as if he had taken a rocket.
Seeing that he had almost run out of bullets, Shen Wangchuan waited a while longer, and after confirming that no one was around, he went to collect some supplies.
The people in this area have probably all been eliminated, so it's relatively safe for now.
As night fell, he took his supplies and weapons and found a cave nearby. With three days left until the end of the assessment, he wanted to get some rest and replenish his strength that night.

On the plains of Aldos, the command center for this assessment was set up, and there were quite a few proctors inside.
But what's more prevalent is the dense surveillance.
On the large central screen not far away, the numbers of the examinees were scrolling continuously.
Once the number turns gray, the corresponding soldier will be eliminated and lose the opportunity to join the army.
On the first day of assessment, many soldiers choose to stay out of trouble and find a place to hide to conserve their energy.
Some clever people will choose to form alliances and create a small team.
These all comply with the competition rules.
After a day of struggle, the original thousand-plus participants have been reduced to just over seven hundred, with countless numbers turning gray as they were eliminated.
The previously chaotic situation gradually became clearer.
The monitoring showed that the soldier numbered 001 chose to team up from the beginning, which has obvious advantages, such as reducing the risk.
The only drawback is that you might not have enough points; the more people there are, the fewer points you get.
One of the proctors shook his head, saying that if the real purpose was to assess their teamwork, there was no need to go to such lengths.
The purpose of the assessment is to ensure one's own survival while defeating more people.
Suddenly, a number on the big screen started to rise rapidly in ranking.
This attracted the attention of all the proctors.
After seeing the big screen clearly, many people murmured, "097".
How did this guy rise so quickly?
Time passed slowly, and night soon fell. Aldos was utterly silent, and many soldiers chose to lie in wait.
Ranking changes are gradually slowing down.
The monitoring system was working diligently, with two rows of proctors intently watching the monitors.
The sound of clattering boots rang out, and Lin Fang turned around to see his general.
Lin Fang had always been in charge of recruiting new soldiers, but he never expected the marshal to come and take a look.
Xie Liuyan, dressed in a silver military uniform that accentuated his slender waist and long legs, walked to the monitor with his military cap in his left hand, speaking in a calm tone:
"Lieutenant Lin, how are the new recruits this year?"
