"Impossible!" the spectators on the stands stood up, anxiously watching the situation below.
These two zombies were the strongest they had found recently!
Even most of those who had joined the elite squad before, except for a few with decent weapons, could only kill zombies in a short time. Others generally had to fight for a while before they could achieve it.
And this bean sprout, with hardly any meat on her, actually did it without a weapon?
Their ability detectors were also running, and they showed no trace of Luo Xiaole using any abilities.
She... didn't use a weapon?
And... had no abilities?
This was truly uncanny!
"What the heck, how did she do that..." The young man at the door was also stunned, thinking he was mistaken.
But the system prompt indicated that the two zombies had indeed died within a second, thoroughly dead...
Only then did Luo Xiaole lower her wrist.
She put the remaining thumbtacks in her hand back into her pocket.
Fortunately, she had re-reinforced a box of thumbtacks this time. As expected, this item was still the most convenient to use.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and was about to enter the password to open the main door and let Luo Xiaole out.
But he found that the test arena door had been locked by the director with his authority.
The director on the stands, however, was gnashing his teeth.
He had actually planned to use a backdoor today to secure a spot in the elite squad's assessment for a relative.
He had originally intended to wait for the zombies to kill Luo Xiaole, and then use that as an excuse to lower the difficulty of the next assessment so that his relative could pass smoothly.
Who would have thought... it truly exceeded his expectations...
He thought about the imported chocolate he had lost. This item was very valuable now, and his eyes were a little red as he spoke into the intercom, "Turn off the surveillance, release the異種 (yì zhǒng -异种)!"
"Director!" The employee next to him was a little uneasy, "If someone gets killed and people outside find out..."
"Shouldn't others have already guessed her fate? Moreover, as long as you don't speak, who will know?" His eyes held a hint of cruelty.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately dared not speak.
Anyway, once inside the inner test arena, only the director had the highest authority, and no one dared to stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
"Bang!"
A loud bang echoed from the test arena!
A huge figure almost instantly leaped into the shadows at the top of the test arena.
Then, with lightning speed, it dived down and fiercely attacked Luo Xiaole!
In just one second, the zombie's sharp claws had already violently slashed across Luo Xiaole's body.
"This...!" The young man at the door covered his mouth, the scene was truly heart-stopping.
The zombie's attack just now was too fierce. Even an elite squad member would probably not be able to retreat unscathed from such an onslaught...
This time, she was likely done for...
"Hiss..." Luo Xiaole was forcefully pushed to the ground by the zombie.
The moment she was attacked, a prompt sound in her mind arrived as expected.
[Danger detected for host. Clothing defense function has been automatically activated.]
Although the zombie did not scratch her, the immense impact still knocked her to the ground.
The skin on her palm, which was not covered by clothing, was scraped off.
The blood fiercely stimulated the zombie's nerves. As if it had drunk an energy drink, it became even more excited, its sharp teeth lunging to bite.
The distance was too close, and there was no time to throw the thumbtacks.
Luo Xiaole pulled out a small dagger she had prepared and recalled the moves Mo Shen had used to kill zombies at close range last time.
She took out a few more thumbtacks with her left hand. With her uninjured right hand, she tightly gripped the dagger and, with all her might, skillfully thrust it towards the zombie's head!
At the same time, she threw all the thumbtacks from her left hand!
Two thumbtacks hit their mark, blocking the zombie's path of advance.
The dagger went straight through the zombie's skull!
Luo Xiaole then took out 8 thumbtacks and flung them at the zombie again!
This time, the zombie's spine was instantly broken. The entire corpse staggered weakly a few times, and finally collapsed to the ground...
Thick, foul-smelling blood flowed out.
Before anyone else could see, Luo Xiaole pulled out the small dagger from the zombie's skull and, finding an angle, slipped it back into her pocket.
"Am I dreaming?" The staff on the stands couldn't believe their eyes.
"Damn it, this is supernatural!" The director's teeth were almost ground to powder, and he slammed his hand on the railing.
"Director, requesting to open the door." The young man at the door, after closing his dropped jaw, cleared his throat and quickly said into the intercom.
If he didn't say anything else, the director might go crazy and release something even stranger!
"She managed to deal with the zombies that the elite squad would encounter in an S-class mission on her own within a minute. Director, let her go."
"Not many people have passed the assessment recently. With this kind of strength, if we kill her here, and higher-ups blame us, we won't be able to bear it, Director." Others began to persuade him.
"Assessment... passed..." The director reluctantly gave the order into the intercom.
The next second, his brows relaxed. It didn't matter. Once she got to the team, there would be plenty of opportunities for her to regret it.
Those officially released ultra-high difficulty missions that no one dared to accept, here was a candidate. He started to laugh joyfully again.
...
She stepped out of the test arena step by step.
Luo Xiaole turned her wrist with some effort.
As expected, she couldn't endure this level of exertion?
Her body was indeed deteriorating.
But, didn't the staff member just say she would face one strong zombie, and it turned into two for her? And both were so fierce.
Not to mention the stealthier one released later... this didn't look like a B-class mission difficulty at all.
Luo Xiaole frowned. Had someone already started to sabotage her behind her back?
She would have to be careful in her upcoming missions.
As she was lost in thought,
"Congratulations, congratulations, you have successfully passed the assessment and are now qualified to join the elite squad." The young man who had been at the door all along stepped forward.
"Please follow me to the counter."
The young man was very efficient. In a short while, a sunset-like symbol appeared on her base card, with the words "Elite Member" in silver-white light.
The young man then handed her a badge with the same sunset symbol.
"This is your symbol of identity. You can choose whether to wear it or not. You are now an elite squad member, but your specific team has not yet been assigned. As an elite member, you must complete at least one A-class mission per month, otherwise your status will be revoked. Please pay attention to this.
The rewards for missions of different tiers are different. More detailed information will be sent to your card database later. Please check it yourself."
"Okay, thank you for today." Luo Xiaole felt that this young man was quite reliable, at least in terms of handling things. He was as dependable as Fang Jie.
Successfully joining the elite squad was a major accomplishment for her.
Turning to leave the mission hall, she suddenly saw someone she recognized!
This time it was someone she truly knew!
The stubbled man from the neighborhood! She met him again here.
Walking beside him was a tall and imposing man. Luo Xiaole's eyes lit up. This was the Guan Gong knife guy from the neighborhood who had gone to him to reinforce his weapon!
It seemed that quite a few people from the neighborhood had successfully come to the Luocheng Base.
Seeing the crowd surrounding the Guan Gong knife guy, Luo Xiaole suddenly understood.
The famous teammate that the stubbled man had mentioned must be him.
Luo Xiaole immediately sent a message to the stubbled man, with whom she had already exchanged contact information.
"New weapons from the weapon master, 303 pieces, come and trade if you need them."
"Sorry everyone, I'll team up with you next time. I have an urgent matter, I have to go now!" The stubbled man's eyes lit up upon seeing Luo Xiaole's message!
"Mission Center, temporary room No. 168, please come quickly, student."
Luo Xiaole instantly understood. This mission base had special temporary rooms for everyone to conduct discreet trades.
She hurried to the room.
"Are you the one selling weapons, little bean sprout!" The Guan Gong knife guy was also a bit pleased to see her. Back in the neighborhood, they had been impressed by this bean sprout and that lucky fat kid. They didn't expect to meet again here.
It felt like encountering an old acquaintance.
"Yes, I have her reinforced new weapons. Do you want to buy them all?"
"Of course! We'll buy as many of these good things as you have!" The Guan Gong knife guy was very excited.
15 minutes later.
A mechanical voice sounded in Luo Xiaole's mind.
[Your account has received 303,000, balance 386,685 mall coins.]
Yes! Luo Xiaole clenched her fist.
300,000 mall coins in hand!
The apothecary required 500,000 mall coins to activate.
With the medicine collected by her teammates, she only needed to earn about 130,000 more!
"Oh, right, Star Moon Road, number 323, there's an alley. I'll be selling weapons there later. You can come and support me." Luo Xiaole reminded him before leaving.
