I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1350 - Chapter 1350 Chapter 1352 Pursuit

Chapter 1350: Chapter 1352 Pursuit Chapter 1350: Chapter 1352 Pursuit In Song Jian’s perception, the giant eagle hovering above had the words “Opposing Faction” distinctly emblazoned on its forehead, a marker-visible only to the examinees of the opposing factions. Companions and others within the Assessment World would not be able to see it.

Seeing both engines of the airplane emitting thick smoke and the plane spiraling out of control towards the ground, the eagle in the sky seemed unsatisfied. With a few flaps of its wings, bolts of lightning power began to spread between its feathers.

With a sharp screech, the wings, filled with a plasma-like substance, forcefully struck towards the falling airplane.

Boom~

A deep rumble of thunder exploded in mid-air as two thick bolts of lightning struck the falling plane.

With a loud bang, the plane shook violently once again, tumbling towards the ground. At this moment, even someone as steady as Song Jian had to grasp his seat tightly and fasten his seat belt to ensure that he didn’t tumble within the aircraft.

The fragile aircraft hull, having endured the strike, ripped apart as if giant hands had viciously torn it open from the outside. The cabin pressure immediately became imbalanced and began to drop rapidly. A variety of small objects werewhooshed out from the cracks and scattered in the air, like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

“Creak, creak~” Everyone’s teeth grated on edge as the sound echoed in their ears. The crack from the thunder eagle’s impact grew larger and eventually, the whole airplane was torn in two and continued to plummet towards the ground.

If the plane, with its engines destroyed, had a one in ten thousand chance of making a safe emergency landing, then now, for the pilots and flight attendants aboard, it meant certain death without question.

However, the plane ripping apart was a blessing in disguise for the other second-tier peak examinees. Free from the confines of the aircraft, none of them showed fear on their faces as they plummeted down. Instead, they remained calm and began to deploy various techniques and abilities to land safely. A few even rode their flying mounts and charged at the giant Thunder Eagle in the air.

Song Jian, standing on a flying sword, also set his sights on the Alien Clan member who had transformed into the Thunder Eagle of the opposing faction. They had originally assumed that the Alien Clan would be the competitors from another company, vying with them for the meteorite fragment. Unexpectedly, the opponents directly chose the mutated monster due to the meteorite fragment.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t entirely bad for the Human Race’s examinees. They knew that hunting monsters mutated by the meteorite fragment’s radiation would yield mutated body organs. These organs could enhance one’s Combat Power assessment ratings. Similarly, killing examinees of the opposing faction, causing them to lose their qualification, would also improve their Combat Power assessment ratings. This was essentially a single battle with double the rewards. Plus, it seemed that this opposing faction examinee, who had mutated into the Thunder Eagle Beast, had probably received the news and came to ambush them, hoping to single-handedly force them all out of the Assessment World to boost their assessment rating. Therefore, it was very likely that the individual was alone, without teammates or reinforcements. To some Human Race’s examinees, the opponent was like a big gift delivered to their door, and even better, it was the kind that came with double the experience.

Seeing five or six Human Race examinees charging towards him, the Thunder Eagle that had chosen to mutate from the Alien Clan changed expression. With a cold snort, he spread his wings and fled into the distance.

This Alien Clan member originally possessed vulture bloodline and, upon entering the Assessment World, had the extraordinary luck of killing a low-tier mutant beast and obtaining a Thunder Eagle Beast’s core. This core also belonged to body organs and, carried on one’s body, could enhance the assessment rating after victory.

But he ambitiously attempted to assimilate this beast core, against all odds, succeeded. Moreover, after assimilation, he gained the opportunity to choose his faction once more and opted for the Beast Camp.

Having turned into a Thunder Eagle, he could no longer be accepted by both the Human Race and the Alien Clan camps; his only choice was the Beast Camp. Now, whether he hunted down examinees from the Human Race camp or those from the Alien Clan camp, he could improve his assessment rating, effectively becoming a third-party faction.

At the same time, his main quest had also changed unexpectedly from seizing meteorite shards to defending them.

Where he was currently positioned, he was quite close to the landing site of the meteorite shards. Upon seeing the sky filled with the aircraft of the Human Race camp’s examinees, he hid within the clouds, intending to ambush the Human Race camp’s examinees.

He had originally thought that at the very least he could kill more than half of the human camp’s examinees, but unexpectedly, they were all thoroughly prepared. Even those without flying mounts or the ability to fly on their own had gear and items to prevent falling from a great height. This rendered his ambush unsuccessful and even attracted the covetous gaze of several human camp examinees with the ability to fly.

Failing to steal a chicken only to lose the rice describes the situation of this examinee from the Alien Clan perfectly. At the moment, there were no fewer than seven Human Race camp examinees chasing after him, hell-bent on not stopping until they killed him.

Here, it’s worth mentioning the examinees from the Human Race camp. If the ambush had been targeted at examinees from the Alien Clan camp, he might really have succeeded. A malfunction of flying gear high in the sky could be fatal if there were no corresponding countermeasures. However, most of the Human Race camp’s examinees had failed four or five times or more; one might say they had a wealth of experience in failure. After many summaries, they had prepared a multitude of emergency items.

Beyond coping with high-altitude falls, this group of Human Race camp’s examinees–apart from Song Jian–also possessed emergency gear for diving into the deep sea, for falling into volcanic lava, for escaping when surrounded by a multitude of enemies; in short, for just about any emergency situation they could think of, they generally had a way to cope.

On the contrary, those from the Alien Clan, mostly undergoing their first second-tier Combat Power assessment, had a far inferior response to emergencies compared to the Human Race camp unless they used their advantage in numbers to dominate the situation.

“Damn it, I’ve encountered this bunch of maggots from the Human Race camp…” Patsha muttered to himself with gritted teeth.

The Alien Clan member, who already possessed vulture bloodline, had become a mutated Thunder Eagle Beast after assimilating the inner elixir of a Thunder Eagle and joined the third-party faction.

However, this change in faction was irreversible and his main quest alteration also made him an opponent of both the Human Race camp and the Alien Clan. Unless something unexpected happened, no matter which side, Human or Alien, emerged victorious, Patsha’s Combat Power assessment was doomed to fail. Only by kicking both groups out of the Assessment World could he claim victory!

This made his test of Combat Power far more difficult–more than double–but if he truly succeeded, the rewards would also be exceedingly generous!

Casting a glance at the relentless Human Race camp examinees following closely behind, a ruthless light flickered in Patsha’s eyes as he thought to himself, “Do you really think I am alone without reinforcements? Then follow me closely and allow me to show you what true despair is!”
