I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1348 - Chapter 1348 Chapter 1350 Showing off Their Skills

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1350: Showing off Their Skills Chapter 1348: Chapter 1350: Showing off Their Skills Song Jian finished reading the main quest and found that his companions were already discussing it.

“I feel the assessment task this time is quite simple; if we’re careful, it’s still possible to complete it…”

“Not necessarily, the number of the Alien Clan is three times ours; they must play the role of competitors. We can’t take that lightly!”

“That’s true, this time we just need to get the comet fragment before them; there’s no need to clash head-on. The situation is actually in our favor…”

…

Hearing these discussions, Song Jian didn’t think they were of any significance. He opened the quest tab and saw that the map for the task was a city map, in which a spot on the outskirts was flashing and emanating a faint red halo.

The blinking area was the Eagle Airport, the destination for the first stage of the main quest. Song Jian looked at their current location–it was about twenty kilometers from Eagle Airport. If there was no traffic, it would take at least twenty to thirty minutes.

At that thought, Song Jian suddenly felt alarmed and quickly looked toward the only clock in the living room.

The voice on the phone earlier had required them to arrive at the airport before ten o’clock, but now the clock showed it was already half-past nine!

Song Jian quickly clapped his hands and, seeing everyone look over, pointed at the clock hanging in the living room and said, “Before you discuss the quest content, please look at the time. We need to get to Eagle Airport by ten o’clock, and we’re twenty-seven kilometers away. We must arrive there within thirty minutes. Guys, shouldn’t we first address this issue?”

After Song Jian’s reminder, everyone was shocked, but soon their faces showed a look of relief.

The short man earlier spoke with an arrogant tone, “Just twenty-seven kilometers, thirty minutes is enough for me to run it three times back and forth…”

“My Pegasus can carry two people and guarantee we arrive at the quest location within ten minutes, who wants to join me? Preferably a lady!”

“Gents, I’ll head out first. Speed is not my forte; I need at least twenty minutes to ensure I make it!”

In a moment, more than a dozen examinees showed off their magic; some summoned a Pegasus and flew straight into the sky, others ran like the Flash, trailing a series of afterimages behind them. It seemed everyone could get to the airport within thirty minutes.

Song Jian saw Doya cast a transformation spell, turning herself into a giant eagle. She tilted her head to glance at him, then spread her wings and soared into the sky, quickly becoming a small black dot before vanishing.

Soon, only Song Jian and Teer were left in the room.

“We’ve been through several third-stage Combat Power assessments and encountered different situations every time, which is why everyone is well prepared!” Teer said with a slight smile, pulling out a pale golden token from his chest, raising it high with his right hand, and shouting, “Soya, my companion, Teer needs your help!”

Boom~

Flames appeared out of nowhere, burning fiercely in front of Teer, and after a short time, a herd of chestnut horses emerged from the fire.

This stallion was towering, magnificent, with eyes like rubies, sparkling and translucent, radiating light. On the stallion’s forehead, a three-inch-long spiral horn occasionally flashed with sparks.

Teer patted the stallion’s back and said to Song Jian, “This is my combat partner, Soya, it has the lineage of the lightning unicorn. Not only can it fight alongside me, but it’s also skilled in long-distance travel!”

“Song Jian, if you have no other means of travel, I believe Soya wouldn’t mind giving you a lift!” Teer said with a smile.

Soya seemed to understand Teer’s words and snorted unhappily, nudging its head toward Teer and looking at Song Jian with deep disdain.

“Thanks, but I think I can make it to the airport within the stipulated time,” said Song Jian, rubbing his nose.

In the game, he hadn’t learned horse riding. Mounts like these combat horses required high-level riding skills to control, and even riding together with Teer wouldn’t work.

Hearing Song Jian say this, Teer nodded without insisting further because deep down, he didn’t want to share his combat mount with someone else.

Teer mounted his horse, glanced at the task map, and waved at Song Jian before riding away.

Song Jian checked the Pet Space and saw that Black Dragon was still in slumber, having levelled up, and there was no indicator of when it would wake up.

Even if Black Dragon had already leveled up, Song Jian wouldn’t consider riding it; that would be too ostentatious.

“I’ve ridden the Black Dragon more than once; why haven’t I grasped any skills related to riding?” muttered Song Jian softly while closing the Pet Space.

With a thought, a flying sword appeared out of thin air, circled around him a few times, and then hovered quietly in front of him.

Song Jian leaped up and stood steadily on the flying sword, turning into a bolt of lightning as he soared into the sky.

Fifteen minutes later, Song Jian appeared at the quest destination. There was a transparent halo near the whole Eagle Airport, visible only to the examinees, invisible to others.

Entering it would mean completing the first stage of the task.

After reaching the airport, Song Jian found seven or eight people already waiting. He wasn’t the fastest to arrive, but not the slowest either.

Seeing Song Jian’s Sword Flight Art, Teer and Doya exchanged glances, both seeing a look of surprise in the other’s eyes.

“Imperial Sword Sect?” Doya whispered.

Teer didn’t speak but nodded slightly. The other examinees also glanced at one another before they too looked at Song Jian with a new eagerness.

A few minutes later, all Human Race examinees had gradually arrived at the airport, fourteen in all, none late.

At ten o’clock, everyone received a task completion notification, then the task content changed; they had to board a plane and head to the western desert to find the comet fragment.

After reading the follow-up task content, Song Jian suddenly felt a jolt and opened the task tab again to check the prompt.

“Task prompt: The comet fragment may have burned up in the atmosphere during its descent. If this happens, the task for all factions will end in failure!”
