Chapter 15: The First Experience Out of the City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the early autumn morning fog, Chu Lingjun was not the first to arrive at the school gate.

Although the sun had just risen, the entrance of Quicksand High School was quite lively.

A large number of students and parents came and went. They formed teams and set off for the city.

The parents looked at the backs of their children walking out of the city and waved their hands worriedly and reluctantly.

The first-year students rarely went out of the city. After all, they had just started to cultivate and had no experience being in the field.

However, in the second and third years of high school, going out of the city to fight exotic beasts was a common occurrence.

Battles could temper the students’ will and increase their strength. The captured exotic beasts could also be sold for a considerable price. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Chu Lingjun stood at the door, his mind focused on the summoning space in his mind.

In his mind, there was a 1.5-meter-tall armored electric eel with a mighty aura quietly lying on the ground.

After school yesterday, Chu Lingjun went to the lake to put his electric eel clone into the summoning space.

While checking up on his electric eel clone, the morning fog stirred.

A girl wearing a black tight-fitting combat suit walked out of the white fog. She had slender legs, a high ponytail, and she carried a long sword on her back.

The woman’s facial features were exquisite, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, giving off a heroic aura.

Now that her hair was tied up, she looked exceptionally charming.

It was Chu Lingjun’s classmate, Chen Zhiqi.

Chu Lingjun sized up Chen Zhiqi and made a small joke. “I almost couldn’t recognize you.”

“Why not?” Chen Zhiqi was stunned.

“Because you look even more beautiful.”

Chen Zhiqi, who was only 16 years old and obviously inexperienced. She blushed slightly and scolded, “I should have known you were slick.”

Chu Lingjun smiled and changed the topic. “Is the sword on your back real? Can I take a look?”

“Of course, I brought this along because we’re going out of the city.”

Chen Zhiqi looked at the long sword on her back and hesitated for a moment, but she still took it off and handed it to Chu Lingjun.

Chu Lingjun pulled out the scabbard. Immediately, a bright light shot out from the scabbard. The sound of the sword was light and sharp.

“Good sword!” Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but praise.

“Of course, my parents chose this for me. It’s a Rank One spirit weapon.”

The praise was for the sword, but Chen Zhiqi still beamed, her eyes shining with confidence.

Spirit weapons were tools made from raw materials that contained spirit energy.

The rankings were the same as martial artists. Rank One was the lowest and Rank One was the highest.

Chu Lingjun took a look at it to satisfy his curiosity and returned it to Chen Zhiqi.

Seeing the other party’s nervous and reluctant appearance, Chu Lingjun quickly handed the sword back. He was afraid that she would fall out with him if he held onto the weapon for too long.

After waiting for a while, Ding Peng, Lin Yin, and the others also arrived.

Ding Peng led Chu Lingjun and the others to a corner of the school field.

There was a line of about 40 students there. They were the students who were preparing to go to Iron Peak Mountain today.

It was very common for the second and third years to bring some talented juniors out of the city.

Therefore, these people were not surprised to see Chu Lingjun and the others arrive.

Chu Lingjun saw two familiar faces when he arrived.

One of them was his homeroom teacher, Shen Yanhu.

The other was the beautiful teacher, Shan Qiuru.

Shen Yanhu beckoned Chu Lingjun and the others over. “I’ll leave the best students in my class to you. You have to watch them closely!”

Shen Yanhu was not going to follow them today.

This was the first time Chu Lingjun and the others were out of the city. Shen Yanhu thought about it and decided to give them some instructions on how to take care of themselves so that he could watch them leave with ease.

“Got it. Chu Lingjun and the others are also my students. I’ll take good care of them.” Shan Qiuru said.

“Alright, thank you. When you come back tonight, I promise to watch that movie with you.”

“What?! When did I say I’d watch it with you?” Shan Qiuru said unhappily. “Don’t talk nonsense here. I’ll tear your mouth apart later if you spread it around!”

Chu Lingjun and the others snickered. It seemed that their teacher had a shameless side.

At this moment, Chen Zhiqi turned around and glared at Chu Lingjun.

The meaning was very simple — Chu Lingjun and Shen Yanhu were the same type of hooligans!

…

When the sun rose from the mountains in the East, the morning fog completely dissipated.

With Shan Qiuru’s order, everyone formed into four lines and jogged out of the city.

Shan Qiuru walked at the front, followed by Chu Lingjun and the others, followed by the students from Class Eleven.

After the new era, cars had become more of a symbol of luxury than a mode of transportation’ cars could only be driven in the city.

The roads outside the city had long been destroyed by the mutated beasts and plants due to the war.

The terrain outside the city was too complicated for cars to handle.

As Chu Lingjun jogged, he couldn’t help but observe the second-years.

These seniors had a strong aura and surging passion for war. Chu Lingjun could feel that these people were at least Rank One refined martial artists!

There were even a few whose auras were unfathomable. They should be Rank Two refined martial artists!

A Rank Two refined martial artist could turn vitality into true qi!

After cultivating true qi, one’s strength would greatly increase. One might be able to fly over roofs and walk on walls.

One would be able to release true qi and transfer true qi to heal others.

If one held a saber or a sword, one could even activate saber qi or sword qi!

It was obvious that a Rank Two refined martial artist was much stronger than a Rank One refined martial artist!

Other than these powerful auras, these people also carried a lot of equipment in case of a fight.

They wore bulletproof helmets, carried various weapons like Wolf Fang and Eagle Strike.

There were also a few metal grenades strapped on their belts!

Chu Lingjun bared his teeth. They moved like machines!

Compared to them, Chu Lingjun, Ding Peng, and the others looked very shabby. They had ordinary combat uniforms and a flimsy metal helmet. The only weapon they had was a 92 pistol in their hands.

The helmets and pistols were collected from the logistics room by Shan Qiuru and the other seven people just before they set off.

Compared to everyone else, Shan Qiuru did not bring anything with her.

She was empty-handed and was wearing casual light gray sportswear.

She didn’t look like she was leading a team to kill exotic beasts, but more like bringing them on a spring outing.

Although she was wearing sportswear, Shan Qiuru’s curvy figure was still shown.

Chu Lingjun could not help but look back and forth between Shan Qiuru and Chen Zhiqi. In the end, his gaze fell on Shan Qiuru.

After all, young boys would like young girls.

However, once they get old, they would want all types of women.

Chen Zhiqi seemed to have sensed something. When she felt Chu Lingjun’s gaze, her pretty face immediately turned red with anger. She gritted her teeth and glared at Chu Lingjun!

Chu Lingjun coughed lightly and quickly lowered his head to show that he was a gentleman.

A moment later, they arrived at the East Gate of Quicksand Town.

In front of him was a steel wall that was several meters thick and more than ten meters tall.

It towered over the tiny humans below!

Chu Lingjun was shocked at first glance because there were a large number of armed helicopters, tanks, and cannons scattered around the city wall.

Groups of soldiers with shiny guns and focused gaze were patrolling the city wall.

There were also various multi-functional automatic weapon platforms set up on the city walls. Once they sensed an exotic beast approaching, these weapons would instantly turn into killing machines!

There were also drones patrolling above the city walls so that they could scout areas above the land.

Shan Qiuru brought Chu Lingjun and the others to the passageway under the steel city wall. After verifying their identities and other relevant documents, the passageway door slowly opened.

However, after passing through the metal door, Chu Lingjun was surprised to find that another steel wall had appeared in front of him!

There were two steel walls in total!

Chu Lingjun was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization!

In the human towns after the New Era, the city walls were almost all built with the structure of a barbican.

This structure was a semi-circular or square-shaped small city that was built outside the city gate. There were also exceptions inside the city gate.

The two sides of the barbican were built together alongside the city wall, with watchtowers, gates, battlements and other defensive facilities.

The gate of a barbican was usually not in the same line as the gate it was protecting to prevent the attack of weapons such as battering rams infiltrating the city.

To put it simply, the barbican was a door within a door!

Even if the first door was broken, there was still a second door enemies will have to destroy!

Some of the more stable city guards would build a third steel gate after the second steel gate to throw their enemies off guard…

Once they arrived at the second gate, Chu Lingjun immediately smelled a faint scent of blood in the air.

After passing through the second gate, the area in front of them looked vast. They could see the scene in the distance, and the smell of blood in the air was even stronger!

Chu Lingjun looked around and saw that the steel walls on both sides were full of potholes. They were covered with all kinds of claw marks, tooth marks, scratches, as well as traces left behind by flames and frost attacks on the walls.

The ground beneath his feet was covered with a layer of maroon carpet formed by the condensation of blood and flesh.

This scene made people involuntarily gag from the scene.
