Chapter 92

Yang Kong’s words attracted a disgruntled look from Thuja who coldly grunted, “Yang Kong, are you doubting the precision of the machine? There’s no need to be so harsh on everything . ”

Subsequently after Thuja’s words, the other young warriors also more or less showed satisfaction towards Yang Kong’s question .

Tang Ling had completed the test decently, so why would Yang Kong keep on picking on him?

“Thriving for strictness is my way of doing things . I’m not against anyone in particular . Moreover, he is Fei Long’s favorite . ” Yang Kong would not even bother to explain if it was someone else, but Thuja was a respectful person, hence he took the effort to defend himself .

Since Yang Kong mentioned Fei Long, it would not do Thuja any good to continue to pressure him either .

Everyone in the sector knew that the stubborn-as-rock Yang Kong cared about no one, except for Fei Long . Based on that point alone, it was clear that Yang Kong was not particularly against Tang Ling .

Moreover, judging his words from another aspect, he was rather correct and fair . The third test was about testing one’s reflexes . Since Tang Ling had the prediction ability, it was not truly his reflexes that were on display throughout the test, so it was really difficult to judge .

An ability like prediction was unlike Yu’s and Orston’s, it was like a kind of second instinct which one had no control over whether to use it or not .

Prediction might be strong but it was not as strong as lineage power which would violate the fairness of the test when used .

“Consider it a pass . Prediction is a natural ability . It’s not up to Tang Ling whether to use it or not . Moreover, prediction allows one to sense danger beforehand . Although it is beneficial to the third test, the dodging rate still relies on one’s reflexes . It is fair like even when a sluggish old man senses danger but might not be able to dodge it . Am I right?” After a minute, Alan gave his opinion which was fair enough and very convincing .

“Great!” Andy cheered excitedly since he was the closest to Tang Ling in the whole group . He would be lost if Tang Ling did not pass . Would he befriend the two girls instead? Other than the two girls, the others were either fierce or cold .

Andy even considered transferring to the Second Reserved Camp if Tang Ling really got kicked out .

Tang Ling, however, had no idea what Andy was thinking . After spending a month together, he had somehow acquired a companion who trusted him so much .

Since Tang Ling, who was the last to take the test, had passed, the first test after a month of training welcomed perfect results .

Thuja was deeply moved . He had been training the new reserved warriors for many years and had never welcomed such flawless results .

Alan was very satisfied too . He gave the new warriors some words of encouragement before he led the group of instructors away .

As for Yang Kong, before he left, he purposely left a reminder for Tang Ling, “Do your best, boy . What you lose on the swings, you gain on the roundabout . Your Genetic Chain Talent might be normal, but there’s an arsenal of strange abilities in you . Aside from the others, at least, prediction is very useful . Abilities that are meaningful during real combat are useful, and in this era, staying alive is the winning path . ”

What strange abilities? Tang Ling had simply made up his abilities, but Yang Kong deemed them strange, so did it mean Tang Ling had it coming?

What normal Genetic Chain Talent? If he told Yang Kong he had the Perfect Genetic Chain, would Yang Kong be scared out of his mind? Tang Ling was grumbling in his heart, but at least, he could tell Yang Kong told him that out of goodwill .

However, following the elimination of suspects one after another, who would the real mastermind be?

******

Since the test welcomed a perfect ending, it also marked the end of a simple life .

There was no celebration whatsoever after the test . All seven of them received the real badge of the First Reserved Camp on the field . It was a silver moon badge that replaced their original bronze one .

Tang Ling and the others were told that from that day onwards, they were the real reserved warriors of the First Reserved Camp, and a new title was bestowed to them— the New Moon Warriors .

A new life awaited .

Instructor Thuja did not feel pleased about it albeit caring about the outcome of the test a lot .

He glanced over at the reserved warriors who stood in a straight line on the field and said, “After you step out of this place, you will see the real Reserved Camp . It isn’t something that you’ll experience twice in your life, so treat it as a privilege . It’s a privilege for you to know the real Safety Sector No . 17 and what it contains beneath . ”

His words echoed across the field . The young warriors tried their best to keep calm but still succumbed to curiosity and surprise, including Yu and Orston .

The real Safety Sector No . 17? Then, what have we been seeing all this time? What is the real Reserved Camp? Where is it hiding?

Tang Ling actually had those questions in his mind a long time ago .

A month ago, when he raced Orston up the cliff and ultimately exhausted himself like a dead body, he did not see anyone on top of the cliff and it was overwhelming for him .

It was unlike what he expected .

The cliff was facing the lateral side of the safety sector . It was shaped like a horseshoe and was not big by any means, but it was filled with trees and bushes that were barely concentrated .

Among the bushes was their training camp, isolated in the middle of the lush .

Beyond the cliff was rich, green forests and mountains . Maybe because of the height, there were no wild beasts or any other vicious existence in sight . There was no life at all as if the training camp was built on top of a deserted island .

Why was the First Reserved Camp built in such a place? Was it to be rid of disturbance and let the reserved warriors concentrate on their training?

The explanation sounded very reasonable, so the young warriors accepted it wholeheartedly .

However, after they went into the training camp, other than some staff and warriors stationed there to collect resources like morning dew, water from the ponds, and all kinds of fruits and edible aviary, there was no one else .

What about the seniors they saw that day? In fact, not only the seniors, where were the other people? Were there only four seniors in the First Reserved Camp?

Was it not a little too suspicious?

However, the devil training occupied the young warriors’ life quickly, hence no one had the spare thoughts to think about all that anymore .

Now, if not for Instructor Thuja’s official announcement, Tang Ling and the others might have forgotten about it .

“Then, let’s make a move . ” Curiosity was the best motivation . Instructor Thuja was being very mysterious and it called to the eagerness in Orston .

Is there anything in Safety Sector No . 17 that I, Orston, don’t know of? Maybe except for the things that my family has purposely hidden from me, but what are they hiding from me?

The more Orston thought about it, the stronger his curiosity burned .

Even Yu, who was always nonchalant, showed a trace of eagerness .

Instructor Thuja was not in a hurry though . He looked at the young warriors calmly and only spoke when Orston urged him, “Sometimes, the more you know, the bigger your responsibility is . Even if you aren’t yet Purple Moon Warriors and only New Moon Warriors, you have to bear the responsibility . Are you ready to accept the truth of all things? And are you ready to start the lesson at the First Reserved Camp?”

What’s all that about? He’s speaking like Uncle Su Yao .

Tang Ling had enough of the torture from all the mystery, it was rare for him but he stood out and announced loudly, “Yes, yes, I am . ”
