Chapter 97

“Give them some time to digest the information,” said Thuja after Yang Kong revealed the so-called 3D holographic projection .

The killing and slashing beneath the cliff were still ongoing, but at the top of the cliff, it was all silent . Indeed, everyone needed time to adapt and center their thoughts .

Everything behind the cliff was all a 3D holographic projection? Outrageous!

“I don’t mind, but I didn’t expect every single one of these little fellas to decide to come over . ” Yang Kong shrugged .

“Are you doubting me?” Thuja was rather annoyed by his statement .

Yang Kong smiled gently . “You do have a record . In the past, the First Reserved Camp has lost several little fellas with a bright future . Whoever you liked more, the less you wanted them to come here . Am I right?”

“Hmph . ” Thuja kept quiet because Yang Kong was right about him . He had been doing this for a while but was not rather successful .

“It seems like Director Alan is right, sending me here to welcome all of you . ” Yang Kong flashed another meaningful smile . He then turned around to the young warriors who were still immersed in shock and could not even breathe steadily .

“Let’s go . Even though it’s difficult to accept, isn’t this what all of you have been yearning for?” Time was precious while endless fights and cruel mortality rates caused infinite pressure .

All the new blood must be transformed into actual combat forces in the shortest time possible . Wasting another second was considered shameful .

Yang Kong felt worried as well . Fei Long had been to that place over a month ago and had not returned yet .

Unfortunately, Andy and the two girls lacked the strength to stand up while Amir managed to stand straight but was unable to take a step forward .

Tang Ling had completely calmed down . It was actually nothing but a so-called projection that masked the constant war behind people’s knowledge .

Although he could not understand the intent of doing so, fights and wars were everywhere . Back in the settlement, for the sake of survival, all sorts of fights and conflicts would happen at all times . The scale of it was the only difference .

Therefore, Tang Ling became the first to step forward towards Yang Kong and Thuja . “The First Reserved Camp is what I’ve been yearning for . ”

“I must find my fifth brother’s remains or anything that’s left of him . ” Orston instantly looked up and strode forward too, but Yu cut him off, “Hey, why are you in front of me again? You prick, do you wanna have a go?”

Orston’s rage mounted . He did not understand why Yu always interrupted him .

While the two of them were arguing about who should go first, the others recovered from their initial shock and soon gathered the courage to move on .

“Let’s go in . ” Yang Kong brought the young warriors in front of the hanging iron cage . He then glanced at Thuja . “Aren’t you coming?”

“I don’t have class today, so I’m going back to the inner city to drown myself . Am I not allowed to do that?” Thuja brazenly rejected Yang Kong’s invitation .

Yang Kong did not reply and turned around to the young warriors instead .

The iron cage hanging in the air was a little shaky . Coupled with the noises of the raging war beneath the cliff, it was very unsettling .

Still, Tang Ling was the first to enter, followed by the others .

After the iron cage that could easily fit 20 people closed, it started to wobble downwards . Other than a door facing the cliff and a tiny window installed in it, the whole iron cage was sealed tightly .

It felt rather suffocating because other than the cliff, one could not see anything .

Yang Kong leaned back in a corner of the iron cage and shut his eyes for some rest while the others stood still, feeling uneasy about how they were descending .

Half a minute later, the iron cage had descended around 100 meters . It was then that Tang Ling was surprised to realize a significant portion of the cliff had been dug out, forming a deep and dark tunnel .

At the edge of the tunnel was a giant maroon machine that resembled the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine from the second exam . It also had many black circuit patterns all over it .

At the front of the machine were many giant cameras which were devices used by the old civilization to capture footage . These cameras were directed in many directions .

Outside the tunnel was a meter wide path that seemed like a tape . Indeed, the path was like a transparent tape that penetrated the wall of the cliff beneath the tunnel .

The transparent tape was glowing in a bewitching silver with a tint of colorful glitter . A single glance at it was bedazzling .

Almost instinctively, Tang Ling stepped up to the little window at the door and looked up .

Within the range of his vision, he saw several more cubes that were made out of the same material with that tape embedded on the wall of the cliff . They were each around 1 square meter large and were also glowing in the same color .

Tang Ling recalled reading books about the old civilization . He glanced over at the so-called 3D holographic projector and his outstanding memories allowed him to remember all the information .

“So, is this the secret of the super-advanced 3D holographic projection of the safety sector?”

No matter how drastic it had changed, it did not stray far from its roots . It was still a box with cameras attached to it .

The projector of the old civilization looked a lot simpler and crude compared to the cubes . It was no wonder the super-advanced machine could create such a realistic illusion .

While Tang Ling was still overwhelmed by his discovery and was thinking about where the so-called super-advanced machine of the safety sector came from, Yang Kong’s voice entered his ears and interrupted his thoughts . “So, you noticed it . ”

“Mm-hmm . I’m just guessing what kind of machines they are,” Tang Ling replied honestly .

“It’s not just that . Saying that it’s only used to create illusions doesn’t do the phrase ‘super-advanced technology’ any justice . Moreover, it’s made for a larger scale . The reason why it’s considered large-scale is that the super-advanced machines are all equipped with astonishing functions . ” Yang Kong seemed to relish explaining things to Tang Ling .

Tang Ling furrowed his brows with thoughts flying around in his mind . Compared to the strength tester and the speed tester from the exam, the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine and this machine in the tunnel were not on the same scale .

Nevertheless, what kind of astonishing function the machine could possibly have? Tang Ling did not think that the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine was astonishing at all .

Knowledge determined one’s thoughts .

If Yang Kong ever heard Tang Ling’s slander about the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine, Tang Ling would be the first to be kicked out of the First Reserved Camp .

Yang Kong was rather pleased when he saw Tang Ling deep in thought . He suddenly tossed a question at the boy . “What do you think defense is?”

The conversation between Tang Ling and Yang Kong seemed to have attracted attention . Everyone then paid close attention to the topic .

The iron cage continued to descend slowly and finally went past the machine and the silver tape, but Tang Ling’s muttering actually made everyone notice the scene from earlier .

Everyone wanted to know what else could the machine do other than creating an illusion .

What did it have to do with Yang Kong’s question?
