Fading God Card

Since Jiang Wenming woke up from Shiting, that is, on the seventh day after entering Xinyang City, the legendary newcomer test is finally about to begin.

Early in the morning, Chang Yong, who was so excited, cleaned himself up, and then urged everyone to rush to the test site together.

"Brother Yong, is it too early for you? Look, there are not many people here!" Wang Chaowei yawned.

The meeting point was under the outer city wall, which was where they registered after entering the city.

"Come early to give the tester a good impression! Hey? Isn't that Chen Xi, Chief Chen? Why is he here? Could it be that he is in charge this time?"

Seeing Chen Xi waiting not far away, Chang Yong felt a little strange and went up to say hello.

"Haha, you guessed it wrong. I'm just helping to maintain order. The deputy mayor of Xinyang City is in charge of this assessment. You should perform well later!" Chen Xi said with a smile on his face.

"Well, by the way, Chief Chen, can I ask why this test is scheduled for the seventh day after the end of the time stop? It's only seven days, is it enough for other survivors to reach the city?" Wang Chaowei asked.

"Of course not. Although I don't know how many people have been awakened this time, but the time has been stopped for so many years, and the terrain of various places has changed greatly. To be honest, it is somewhat difficult to reach a nearby city within seven days." Chen Xi shook his head.

Jiang Wenming nodded. In fact, before he learned about the existence of human cities from Haruru, he was already mentally prepared to build a shelter by himself.

And those who don't know this information, the vast majority should not act without authorization in the dangerous wilderness, but even so, if you want to survive outside, you have to solve not only safety issues, but also food and water...

Seven days is just the first round of testing, to screen out those who dare to explore and think.

Like the abandoned community where Jiang Wenming is located, if you look carefully, you can find traces of camping in some hidden places, after all, it belongs to the hunting card area.

As long as this is discovered, it is not difficult to deduce that there must be a civilization nearby. As for whether they find a human city or a goblin tribe, it depends on luck.

After being in Xinyang City for a week, Zhou Changjing roughly judged the number of people in Xinyang City through observation.

The sentry guards responsible for guarding the 3,000-meter-long outer city wall are only about 800 people, and the number of farmers in the outer city is in the range of 2,000.

As for the inner city, according to the data obtained by squatting in the supermarket every day, there should be no more than 5,000 people.

In other words, Xinyang City has a population of less than 10,000!

This number is even lower than some communities, so it is true that Chen Xi said that there is no manpower to meet the newcomers.

But what Jiang Wenming didn't expect was that there were so few newcomers who successfully arrived in Xinyang City this time and were willing to take the test!

98 people!

Not even a hundred!

"Well, the time is almost up. If the rest don't come, it means that they have given up their rights voluntarily. Wen Yuan, you will register those people later, and then hand them over to Minister Tian to arrange them to cultivate the land."

A scruffy-bearded man unscrewed the flagon, took a swig and wiped his mouth.

And a white man beside him nodded and crossed a form several times.

The sloppy man is the examiner this time, and Shangguan Miao, the deputy mayor of Xinyang City, a man with the complete opposite name and temperament.

And next to him was Wei Wenyuan, the deputy examiner, who looked gentle and gentle, but he didn't speak.

"Cough! Lucky guys, listen to me!"

Shangguan Miao cleared his throat, looked at the ninety-eight newcomers gathered in front of him and shouted.

"The next test will determine your treatment in Xinyang City. If you pass the test, you will be eligible to enter the inner city to settle down, but...you can either farm or die outside!"

Die outside?

Everyone was startled, and one of the rookies, who was over two meters tall, frowned and asked, "Is this test taking place outside the city?"

Shangguan Miao glanced at him, but instead of scolding him, he nodded:

"It's a good guess, it's outside."

"The test task this time is very simple. It is enough to hunt ten cards within ten days and return them. Any level is fine. The key is the quantity."

"Of course, if the number is not up to the standard, I will give the person who can survive for ten days and come back alive a second chance, otherwise I will honestly farm for me!"

Hunt ten cards in ten days? Isn't it necessary to kill a monster a day?

Unlimited quality is really unlimited, or do they not know what they will encounter?

The wild teddy and the giant toad that Jiang Wenming encountered were not at the same level, and the latter had no problem killing the former by twenty or thirty in seconds!

"Okay, that's all for the explanation, Wen Yuan, send them the supplies."

Wei Wenyuan nodded, and a group of guards distributed 98 backpacks full of supplies to the newcomers present.

A newcomer opened the backpack and took a look:

A tent, some dry food and water.

The water is packed in a bamboo tube, and the weight is not much, and there are only five sticks, which is about five days' worth.

"There is no medicine, no contact tools for rescue, not even a map, and not even enough food and water. If you go out like this for ten days, you are going to die!"

"Death?" Shangguan Miao looked at the newcomer who was speaking, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Those who dare not go can quit now, I won't force it."

"Well……"

The newcomer hesitated.

He didn't spend the seven days in the city in vain, and he also saw how miserable those responsible for farming were.

The variety depends on oneself, but the harvest depends on the sky. The long production period is also a torture. If the land is not planted and abandoned, Xinyang City will even cut off the minimum survival guarantee for them.

Because such a person is useless.

Seeing that no one quit, Chang Yong poked Jiang Wenming: "Hey, brother Jiang, you said that there are so few people in Xinyang City, why are you throwing the newcomers out to die?"

Jiang Wenming packed his backpack, checked the contents one by one for damage and whether the food had deteriorated, and said casually:

"Don't use the old way of thinking to judge the current world. The times have changed. You didn't realize that when the food resources in the city are not very sufficient, their test tasks are still hunting cards, not monster corpses. This point Don't you find it strange?"

"Strange? Isn't it because the corpse is too heavy to carry?"

Jiang Wenming shook his head, looking at the sentry guards who returned to the city wall immediately after distributing the supplies.

"I can't say exactly. Anyway, I feel that in their eyes, human life is not the first priority, and quickly selecting and cultivating strong people suitable for surviving in this new world is the top priority."

"Perhaps, human beings are no longer the sole overlord of the earth?"

Jiang Wenming suddenly thought of Haruru, those goblins who have a human form and can talk. Since this kind of civilization will exist, will there be other civilizations?

And how old are human beings?

"Okay! Now that you have decided to take the test, I still hope that all of you can return in ten days. The only thing you have to remember is two points!"

Seeing that everyone was dressed neatly, Shangguan Miao announced:

"First, don't leave Xinyang City for more than fifty kilometers! Second, stay alive!"

"The test begins, Chen Xi, open the city gate!"

"yes!"
