I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1356 - Chapter 1356 Chapter 1358 Rejection

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1358 Rejection Chapter 1356: Chapter 1358 Rejection Searching for meteorite fragments in the wilderness is a matter of luck, but seeking those fragments in another multinational company’s underground base requires absolute strength.

“Damn it, this is called searching for meteorite fragments?” Song Jian glanced at the main mission and cursed quietly, “This should be called seizing meteorite fragments!”

“The Alien Clan has already discovered that underground base. However, the base is heavily guarded, and they dare not act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy. They can only start by collecting intelligence on the Kebolan Company and this base, to see if there’s a way to infiltrate…” Patsha continued, “About half of the Alien Clan are occupied with this task, and the others are not idle either. They’ve been divided into two groups to hunt beasts, in order to improve their evaluation for passing…”

Patsha told Song Jian all the intelligence he knew. However, Patsha had been away from the Alien Clan for some time, and he was not aware of their current progress. But seeing that they were still hunting beasts, he suspected they hadn’t made any significant progress!

After listening, Song Jian nodded slightly and said to Patsha, “Tell me about the nearby beasts. You were planning to use their power against us, weren’t you?”

Patsha’s hawklike eyes showed a complex expression. He nodded slightly after a long silence and said, “This region has been greatly affected by the meteorite fragments; it’s where the beasts are most numerous. The closer to the fragments, the more powerful the beasts become. Just a bit further on lies the territory of a beast crocodile lord, which possesses the peak strength of the Commanding tier. Any creature that enters its territory will be attacked…”

“However…” Patsha looked towards the distance, where a dark red mushroom cloud was slowly dissipating, although remnants still lingered in midair: “The location of the explosion just now was the domain of the mutant crocodile lord. It’s likely that another team of Alien Clan Examinees has already clashed with it!”

Upon hearing Patsha’s words, several members of the Human Race faction became visibly excited, itching to go and scavenge for easy gains.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly turned his head to look behind him, and soon, a group of people appeared before everyone–it was the remaining Examinees from the Human Race faction.

“Song Jian!” Teer, wielding a shield, greeted Song Jian and then looked at the ground around them with astonishment. The rough terrain was enough to imagine how fierce the previous battle had been.

“Such a huge creature, is this a beast?” one of them exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the mutant bone ox lying in a pool of blood inside the big pit.

“You encountered a beast and killed it?” Teer asked in surprise.

Since the Alien Clan’s corpses had vanished into white light, Teer was mistaken, but soon someone explained all the events that had transpired. After hearing that Song Jian alone had killed over a dozen members of the Alien Clan and a beast, Teer and Doya exchanged glances and, in each other’s eyes, saw a deep sense of wariness.

Indeed, it wasn’t surprise but wariness; if Song Jian had been just a bit stronger than them, they would have thought only of making an alliance and winning him over. But with Song Jian displaying strength so great that he could casually eradicate over a dozen Aliens of comparable strength to themselves, their attitude towards Song Jian began to change.

However, they hid this emotion well and did not show it outwardly.

With a smile on his face, Teer said to Song Jian, “Now I see why the Human Race is the dominant faction this time. We will be counting on you for this assessment, Song Jian!”

“Let’s all work hard together…” Song Jian said with a smile.

“Teer, there was a huge explosion over there just now. It must have been another team from the Alien Clan fighting a beast of the Commanding peak level. The battle was intense, and it might still be…” Another member of the Alien Clan repeated Patsha’s words, and upon hearing this, Teer’s eyes also lit up with excitement.

Since entering the Assessment World, although the main mission continued, Teer had not had any chance to enhance his evaluation for passing. To say he wasn’t anxious would definitely be lying.

Glancing at Song Jian, Teer’s eyes flashed, and he smiled at Song Jian, “Song Jian, how about we split up now? You go explore the underground base to see if there’s a way to sneak in and find the meteorite fragments, while we take care of those from the Alien Clan…”

Song Jian took a look at Teer and the other Examinees from the Human Race’s faction. It was quite evident from their wary eyes that although they were from the same faction, Teer and his crew, being original inhabitants in the game world, were naturally cautious of God-favored individuals. With Song Jian demonstrating such formidable Combat Power, they certainly didn’t wish for his assessment to be rated too highly.

Song Jian gave Teer and the others a glance, cracked a slight smile, and without saying anything, he turned and walked in another direction.

Only after Song Jian had walked far away did Teer and the others breathe a sigh of relief. They turned and headed towards where the explosion had occurred earlier; since Song Jian was in their faction, as long as he successfully passed the Assessment World, they would naturally pass as well. Now, their main concern was to keep Song Jian’s rating in check, to prevent it from getting too high.

Song Jian certainly understood their petty schemes. Even before entering the Assessment World, these Examinees from the Human Race’s faction were somewhat resistant towards him for being a God-favored individual. Although Teer had shown a degree of friendliness, Song Jian knew that because of the small numbers of the Human Race’s faction compared to the Alien Clan, they were at an absolute disadvantage. Thus, Teer’s intentions were merely to enlist his help. The moment their interests conflicted, Teer would not hesitate to abandon him, just as he was doing now.

…

After killing more than a dozen of the Examinees from the Alien Clan’s faction, Song Jian’s assessment rating increased by a level. If the others were rated B, Song Jian’s was not B+, but A, leaving the others far behind.

“Hehehe, it doesn’t feel good to be abandoned by your own, does it?” Patsha, whose injuries had almost healed, looked at Song Jian with a mocking gaze that also contained some sympathy since he too had been abandoned by his fellow Alien Clan members once. Even though he was the first to choose the Beast Camp, he didn’t feel he was in the wrong; he simply felt that others had abandoned him.

“They are not my companions…” Song Jian turned his head to glance at Patsha and said with a smile, “I am a God-favored individual, and they are not!”

Patsha was suddenly at a loss for words. In fact, the Alien Clan did not differ much from the Human Race in their treatment of God-favored individuals; often, they would even stand with the in-game human NPCs to oppose the God-favored.

“So what are you planning to do now?” Patsha asked curiously, “Although I know where the underground base researching the meteorite fragments is, you can’t possibly break in and steal the fragments by yourself, can you?”

While Patsha acknowledged Song Jian’s powerful strength, he did not believe that by himself, Song Jian could infiltrate the heavily guarded underground base; it would be akin to asking for death.

“Who knows? We’ll have to look first before deciding!” Song Jian shrugged his shoulders and said, “First, take me there to check out the surrounding area and see if there’s any chance of sneaking in.”

“You must be crazy…” Patsha said somewhat speechlessly, “The Alien Clan has a few thieves with max-level stealth skills, and even they couldn’t penetrate deeply. You, trying to sneak in by yourself, is simply impossible!”

“How do you know without trying?”

“Need to try this? Others have already failed…”

“But I am not others!”

…

While bantering with each other, one man and one eagle made their way towards the underground base built by Kebolan Company. Under the setting sun, their shadows stretched long and long…
