Chapter 50 The Newcomer Test Begins

Since Jiang Wenming woke up during the reign of time, on the seventh day of entering Xinyang City, the legendary newcomer test is finally about to begin.

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

"Brother Yong, it's too early for you? Look at how few people are here!" Wang Chaowei said yawning.

The place where they gathered was under the outer city wall, which was where they registered after entering the city.

"Can you give the test officer a good impression if you come early? Oh? Isn't that Chen Xi and Chief Chen? He is there too. Could it be that he is responsible this time?"

Chang Yong saw Chen Xi waiting not far away, and was a little surprised, so he went up and said hello.

"Haha, you're wrong about this. I'm just helping to maintain order. The person in charge of this assessment is the deputy mayor of Xinyang City. You must perform well later!" Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Well, by the way, Chief Chen, can you ask why this test is scheduled on the seventh day after the suspension is over? It's only seven days, is it enough for other survivors to arrive in the city?" Wang Chaowei asked.

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

Jiang Wenming nodded. In fact, when he had not learned about the existence of human cities from Harulu, he was mentally prepared to build a shelter by himself.

Most of those who do not know this information should not act without action in the dangerous wilderness, but even so, if you want to survive outside, you need to solve not only safety issues, but also food and water...

Seven days are just the first round of tests, in order to screen out those who dare to explore and think.

For example, the abandoned community where Jiang Wenming is located, if you observe carefully, you can find traces of camping in some hidden places. After all, it is a hunting area.

As long as you discover this, it is naturally not difficult to infer that there must be civilizations nearby. As for whether they find human cities or Goblin tribes, it depends on luck.

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

The sentry guards responsible for guarding the three-kilometer-long outer city wall were only about 800 people, while the number of farmers in the outer city was within the range of 2,000.

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

In other words, there is only a population of less than 10,000 in Xinyang City!

This number of people is even worse than that of some communities, so it is true that Chen Xi said that no one was going to pick up newcomers.

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

98 people!

Less than a hundred!

"Well, the time is almost over. Since the rest is not here, it means that you voluntarily give up your rights. Wen Yuan, you will register those people later and then hand them over to Minister Tian to arrange for them to reclaim the land."

A sloppy man unscrewed the flat wine pot, took a bite and wiped his mouth.

A fair man next to him nodded and made several forks on a form.

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

The one next to him was deputy examiner Wei Wenyuan, who looked gentle and gentle, but he had never spoken.

"Well! All the lucky guys, let me know!"

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

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

Died outside?

Everyone was startled, and one of the newcomers who were over two meters tall frowned and asked, "Is this test conducted outside the city?"

Shangguan Miao glanced at him, but did not scold him, but nodded:

"I guessed it well, it's just outside."

"This test task is very simple. Just hunt ten cards in ten days and come back. Any level is OK, the key is quantity."

"Of course, if the number does not meet the standard, I will give him a second chance if he can last for ten days, otherwise I will go farming for me!"

Hunt ten cards in ten days? Wouldn’t you have to kill a monster in one day?

Is it really not limited to quality, or do they also know what exactly they will encounter?

Like the wild Teddy and the giant toad that Jiang Wenming encountered, they are not of the same level. The latter will kill the former twenty or thirty heads in seconds without any problem!

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

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

A newcomer opened his backpack and saw:

A tent, and some dry food and water.

The water is filled with a bamboo tube, and the amount is not large, and there are only five roots. It’s about the calculation, and it only takes about five days.

"There is no medicine, no rescue contact tools, and even no maps. Even the food and water content are not enough. If you go out for ten days like this, you will die!"

"Send to death?" Shangguan Miao looked at the new man who was talking and curled his lips.

"If you don't dare to go, you can quit now, I won't force it."

"Well……"

The newcomer hesitated.

He was not in vain for seven days in the city, and he also saw how miserable those who were responsible for farming were.

If you plant more than oneself, but the harvest depends on the sky. The long production period is also a torture. If you put it on the ground and don’t plant it, Xinyang City will even cut off the lowest survival guarantee for them.

Because such a person is useless.

Seeing that no one left, Chang Yong stabbed Jiang Wenming: "Hey, brother Jiang, you said there are so few people in Xinyang City, why did you throw the newcomer out and die?"

Jiang Wenming packed his backpack and checked one by one whether the substance inside was damaged and whether the food was spoiled. He casually said:

"Don't use the previous thinking to judge the current world. Times have changed. You didn't find that when the city's food resources were not sufficient, their test tasks were still hunting cards instead of monsters' corpses. Don't you find this strange?"

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

Jiang Wenming shook his head and looked at the sentries who immediately returned to the city wall after distributing the supplies.

"I can't say it well. Anyway, I feel that in their eyes, human life is not the first priority, and quickly selecting strong people suitable for survival in this new world for cultivation is the most preferred choice."

"Maybe, humans are no longer the only overlord of the earth, right?"

Jiang Wenming suddenly remembered Haruru, those goblins with humanoid and able to speak. Since this kind of civilization will exist, will other civilizations appear?

And who can humans be considered old?

"Okay! Since I decided to take the test, I still hope that you can return in ten days. The only thing you need 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!"
Chapter completed!
