86: Chapter 86 Familiarizing Yourself with the Examination Room

On the podium, Lin Hanwen first led all the students present in a moment of silence for the deceased students.

After hearing Lin Hanwen read the names of those students, Tang Mo suddenly felt that death was actually something so close to him.

This was just their No. 1 Middle School; the situation in other schools probably wasn't much better.

After the moment of silence, Lin Hanwen began his impassioned pre-exam mobilization speech.

...

"Everyone, hurry here tomorrow morning. We'll take the school bus to the Teleportation Station together. The location for this Unified Examination is in Shahe City."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the students below but even some teachers on the stage couldn't sit still.

"Principal, why was Shahe City chosen as the location for this Unified Examination?"

"Yeah, it's even more dangerous than the jungle!"

Lin Hanwen gently waved his hand to signal the students to quiet down.

"I know the desert environment is very unfavorable for us, but the desert is also the territory of our Great Xia. Should we just abandon it to the ferocious beasts because it's dangerous?"

"You are all the best among this year's class changers, and in the future, you will be the backbone of Great Xia. If you start to feel afraid and retreat now, how will you guard the motherland and our home in the future?"

"I only just found out about the location of the Unified Examination myself. People in other places are in a similar situation to us."

"Keep in mind, this Unified Examination is a nationwide assessment. The desert is a test for us, and it's a test for everyone else too."

"Since everyone is facing the same situation, don't complain. Besides, this is an exam, and it will ultimately determine what kind of life path you will take in the future."

Lin Hanwen shifted the topic back to the Unified Examination with a few words. Just as he said, the results of the Unified Examination almost determined what kind of path a Professional would take in the future.

The faculty strength of ordinary universities simply cannot be compared to those first-class and key universities. The future gap between the students who graduate from them will naturally be more than just a little.

But in any case, this was definitely great news for the candidates in Shahe City.

For those candidates in Shahe City, they were already more than familiar with the desert environment.

This was like taking an exam in a previous life and knowing the contents of the test paper in advance.

Wang Kaiwen leaned his head close to Tang Mo's ear and whispered, "This is too unfair."

Tang Mo didn't say anything because he knew the reason for doing this.

Shahe City was also part of the recent turmoil caused by the Beast God Society.

Because the Heavenly Sword Bureau was short-staffed and couldn't look after so many places, by the time they arrived, three-quarters of the population in Shahe City had been killed or injured.

This choice was probably made to help the Professionals in Shahe City pull themselves together again.

After all, it's all Great Xia's territory, and no place should be abandoned.

Since a place had to be chosen for the Unified Examination anyway, why couldn't it be Shahe City?

Seeing that Tang Mo didn't speak, Wang Kaiwen also quieted down.

When Lin Hanwen finished speaking, some students immediately said, "While there's still time, why don't we go and familiarize ourselves with the examination site first?"

The other students all nodded in agreement.

Consequently, the vast majority of people headed out of the school in groups. For a while, taxis were coming and going outside the school.

"Brother Tang, let's go take a look too."

Wang Kaiwen immediately leaned in and asked.

Even if Wang Kaiwen hadn't mentioned it, Tang Mo had such an intention.

Familiarizing oneself with the examination site in advance wasn't a violation of the rules.

Just as the two were about to leave, Tu Xiaoxia also followed them. "Take me with you too."

Tang Mo nodded. Since they were just going to familiarize themselves with the site, there wouldn't be any restrictions.

"Hey, me too!"

Yang Shiyu came running over.

"How can you go to the examination site without me? Hmph, Xiaoxia, you're not allowed to be biased."

Thus, the four of them took a car to the Teleportation Station together.

It was already crowded with people.

Of course, most of them were students and their companions, all going to familiarize themselves with the examination site.

After paying the teleportation fee, Tang Mo and the other three soon appeared in a somewhat dilapidated Teleportation Station.

The Teleportation Station here was covered in signs of damage, as if it had just gone through a major battle.

Squads of fully armed Guard Army soldiers stood inside and outside the Teleportation Station. The specialized weapons they were equipped with would probably make even some level 90+ veteran Professionals tremble with fear.

Everyone who came here was intimidated by the aura of these Guard Army soldiers, and even their voices became very quiet.

Although he had known that Shahe City suffered heavy losses, Tang Mo had to admit that he was still shocked the moment he saw the Teleportation Station.

Teleportation Stations were generally located in the very center of a city. If even this place was destroyed to such an extent, what would other places look like?

After walking out of the Teleportation Station, Tang Mo had his answer.

Looking around, Construction Teams were everywhere in Shahe City. There was abandoned construction waste on both sides of the dilapidated streets. Not many houses were still standing, and not a single one was seen intact.

In the cracks in the ground and among the remaining ruins, blackened bloodstains could still be seen.

This was the result after a week of emergency repairs.

Instantly, the candidates and companions who came here stopped talking. They also immediately understood why such a dangerous place had to be chosen as the examination site.

Other sites might not be as dangerous, but the purpose of doing this was more to use the Unified Examination as a means to rebuild this place into a prosperous city.

"It's really pitiful. Fortunately, our Jiangkou City is protected by a superman, otherwise, we probably wouldn't have escaped such a fate."

Yang Shiyu clutched her heaving chest and said fearfully.

"What superman protecting Jiangkou City? Which eye did you see it with?"

"Hmph, I saw it. The Dark-Winged White Tiger was as big as half of Jiangkou City. If it wasn't a superman, who could have killed it?"

Yang Shiyu pouted and argued her point with Wang Kaiwen.

Seeing this, Wang Kaiwen gave a soft sigh and then turned his head, looking like he didn't want to argue with her.

Yang Shiyu looked like she wouldn't let it go and continued to press Wang Kaiwen.

"Say it! Say it! ..."

The two of them bickering and playing around lightened the somber atmosphere quite a bit. On the side, Tu Xiaoxia looked at Tang Mo with a look of admiration.

She had thought Tang Mo had died in the first explosion, but she didn't expect to see him again.

"How on earth did you escape from an explosion like that?"

"Was the person who saved the entire Jiangkou City really you?"

Tu Xiaoxia had also tried to probe her father's words, but she got nothing. Still, she vaguely felt that this matter might have something to do with Tang Mo.

In this way, Tang Mo became increasingly mysterious in her heart.

When the four of them left the city, they were immediately shocked into silence by the magnificent sight before them.
