Chapter 231 - 231 Team Survival Competition Begins, Entering the Dark-born Abandoned City (2)
Hearing Liu Quan’s words, Lu Yan and the others nodded, indicating that they understood.
Soon, some professionals sent over some equipment, such as the equipment for recording inside, signal guns, teleportation scrolls, and so on.
Lu Yan and the others put on these things one by one. These were all relatively important resources.
Next, it was time for them to wait quietly.
At this moment, the audience in the audience also knew the venue of the team survival competition and discussed.
“Abandoned City? I didn’t expect the competition venue to be that place this time. This is the first time they’ve chosen such a place.”
“That’s right. In the past, even in the team survival competition, the places they chose would basically be the wilderness closer to human cities. They were all places that have been explored many times.”
“Although the Abandoned City has also been explored many times, I heard that there are still some unexplored places inside. It’s still somewhat dangerous overall.”
“Perhaps it’s because the participating new students of this year are relatively powerful, so they chose this place that’s slightly more challenging than the wilderness.”
“I hope nothing unexpected happens this time. The Abandoned City is already occupied by a large number of demon beasts. Moreover, it’s a city left behind by the dark-born after all. There might be other dangers inside. It’s still somewhat dangerous overall.”
“This is all very normal. The national new student exchange competition is to let the top new students in the country better adapt to the situation of survival in the wilderness and transform their strength into combat strength that can be displayed in the wilderness. Even if there are some casualties, it’s inevitable.”
“That’s true, but they’re all pillars of the country after all. If something happens, it will still make one’s heart ache.”
Everyone’s gazes landed on the new students of the universities who were about to set off and they silently cheered for them.
Soon, an hour of preparation time quickly passed and the team survival competition officially began.
All the participating new students of the universities arrived at the arena and beside the teleportation mirror.
As the new students of the universities stepped into the teleportation mirror in front of them, their bodies quickly disappeared and they were directly teleported to the abandoned city.
In the team of Qingbei University, Jiang Shangbai’s expression was somewhat dazed, as if his mind was wandering. He looked at the surrounding participating new students and bit his lip lightly. In the end, under the reminder of his classmates, he entered the light mirror in front of him.
Lu Yan and the others also looked at each other and quickly entered the teleportation mirror in front of them before disappearing.
After all the participating new students entered the teleportation mirror, the entire teleportation mirror directly closed. Then, array patterns appeared on the teleportation mirror and enveloped it.
“In order to ensure the fairness of the team survival competition of the national new student exchange competition, the teleportation light mirror will be sealed for three days until the survival competition ends.
“Next, everyone can watch the situation of the participating new students through the projection screen. We have already placed a large amount of surveillance equipment in the Abandoned City and can completely show the situation of all the new students.
As soon as the host finished speaking, a screen appeared on the arena.
Just like the screen when one cleared the secret realm, everyone could also adjust their perspective according to their needs.
All the audience’s gazes landed on the screen and they began to check the situation inside.
…
After the weightless feeling of being teleported came and went, Lu Yan discovered that he had already arrived at a huge abandoned city.
He was now in an abandoned building.
The entire building was very tall. Weeds had already covered the entire building, making the building look as if it was covered in a green coat.
Beside Lu Yan, Bai Miao and the others were also teleported over, right beside Lu Yan.
However, the new students of the other universities were not nearby. It seemed that the new students of every university were teleported together. The teleportation locations of the various universities were different.
Bai Miao and the others also instantly sized up the surroundings warily, afraid that they would encounter danger as soon as they teleported over.
Lu Yan looked at the surrounding situation and said, “There’s no danger in the surroundings. It should be a teleportation place specially chosen to ensure that we won’t encounter any danger immediately.”
Bai Miao nodded. “We’re now at a high place. It’s a very good location. Let’s observe the surrounding environment and scenery first before confirming our next plan.”
Among the teams of the Golden Corner Academy, Lu Yan and Bai Miao had the highest prestige.
Lu Yan was the strongest. Bai Miao was the captain during the special training, so everyone was still willing to obey the two of them.
Lu Yan also released some undead and got them to patrol the surroundings to prevent them from encountering any danger.
Then, Lu Yan also began to observe his surroundings and discovered that they were on the roof of a tall building about 20 stories tall and could look down on most of the Abandoned City.
However, this building was not the tallest building in this abandoned city.
The tallest building was a tall tower in the center of the city. It was more than twice the height of the tall building Lu Yan and the others were in.
Lu Yan discovered that the architectural style of the entire city was somewhat strange. The building material was a type of black rock. He did not know what it was, but it was very hard.
These buildings were similar to human tall buildings, but on the outside, they were not smooth like the glass on tall human buildings.
On the outside of the surrounding buildings, there were various raised relief sculptures that surrounded the outer area of the building.
There were all kinds of objects on the relief sculpture. There were mountains, rivers, and humanoid creatures. They were very complicated.
However, without exception, these relief sculptures looked very strange, slightly sinister, and uncomfortable.
The surrounding buildings were all very dilapidated. It was obvious that they had been baptized for many years.
On the street below, he could vaguely see many demon beasts. The figures of many demon beasts also flashed in the surrounding buildings.
“This abandoned city should have been occupied by various demon beasts. It’s still unknown how many demon beasts occupy this place and how powerful they are.”
“There are many buildings around and many have collapsed. They look very dilapidated.”
“This city is very large. If we search for natural treasures here, it might be a more stamina-consuming thing.”
…
Everyone reported their observations. After Lu Yan and Bai Miao heard this, they frowned slightly.
“In this team competition, we’ll compete in the number of demon beasts we kill and the number of natural treasures we find. which can be exchanged for points. Of course, high level demon beasts and high level natural treasures can fetch us higher points.
“The proportion of natural treasures is very high. Moreover, after obtaining them, they will directly belong to us. Therefore, our priority is to search for natural treasures.”
“If we form an entire team to search, the efficiency will be a little too low. However, if we split up and search, although the efficiency will be higher, the danger will also increase a lot.
Lu Yan fell into a dilemma.
He could explore an area alone. If the surrounding people followed him, the total area explored would not increase much.
If it was for the sake of efficiency, it was naturally better to split up and search. However, in that case, the danger would also increase a lot.
Seeing this, Bai Miao thought for a moment and said, “How about this? Lu Yan, bring Li Mei’er and the others, who are ranked seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth, and form a five-man team. I’ll bring Bai Yueze and the others and form a five-man team. We’ll split into two teams to explore.”
“This way, the difference in strength between our two teams will not be too big. If there’s danger, we can still deal with it.”
“If you encounter any danger, directly fire the signal gun and ask for help. At that time, the other team can just rush over and provide support after seeing it.”
This was the safest way. If they scattered too much, it would probably be much more dangerous for them to be here.
After all, this was still an unexplored place for them.
