Two military jeeps led the way, and the other two followed the bus.

A total of five cars left the city and drove toward the location of the license examination.

The cement road outside the city is full of potholes and bumpy. If you drive a kilometer or two further out, you won't even see the cement road anymore, only the red dirt road.

The dust was flying, and the five cars were speeding through a dirty and smelly area.

There are a lot of garbage piled up here, some of them are piled higher than the hills.

Between the garbage dumps, you can see some straw huts, mud houses or shabby houses built randomly with iron sheets from time to time.

"Does anyone live in a place like this?"

A female classmate quickly closed the window. The smell outside was too pungent.

"This place is called the Ragged Village. Even though it's dirty and smelly, it's very popular," Ruan Phuc introduced.

"Sought after? Why?"

Everyone is confused. Drinking water may be a problem in this place. Aren't you afraid of getting sick if you stay here for a long time?

"A large amount of garbage is transported here and dumped here in Binhai City every day. You can often find something valuable in the garbage, which is money, and sometimes there is food."

Ruan Fu looked a little uncomfortable and looked for something to eat in the trash can. He had done this kind of thing before.

"Why don't these people live in the city? Isn't it good to find a job in the city?" Some people were puzzled.

"Is it so easy to find a job in the city? Refugees have no fixed residence and are unwilling to apply for many jobs."

Ruan Phuc seemed to recall some sad past events, "It's not easy to live in a big city. The cost of living in Binhai City is high and jobs are hard to find. The homeless people don't even have a place to stay. Sometimes they are not as good as outside."

"But it's so dangerous outside."

"It's a bit more dangerous here, but it's close to Binhai City after all. As long as you're careful, life will be fine."

"I still can't understand it. I would rather pick up garbage in the city and eat it than stay outside."

Students who were born in the city since childhood cannot understand the way of life of refugees in shabby villages. Nguyen Phuc understands, but does not know how to explain it.

Zhou Xu did not participate in the topic, but he remembered what he had learned about population carrying capacity.

After the arrival of the World Tree, ecological disasters occurred frequently, and coupled with a series of wars and man-made disasters, the number of cities suitable for human habitation around the world decreased sharply.

There used to be a huge number of first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth tier cities in Daxia, but now, there are only 28 base cities left.

Some cities were destroyed by the invasion of dangerous species, while others were abandoned voluntarily in order to concentrate social resources.

Simply put, in the face of countless ecological disasters, national defense forces are no longer enough to protect the safety of so many cities.

Daxia adheres to collectivism, so after a disaster, it can effectively mobilize resources and manpower, so in the end these 28 base cities were saved.

The situation abroad is not so optimistic.

Because of cultural traditions, when ecological disasters began to occur and foreign governments tried to pool resources, there were public protests;

When dangerous species begin to eat humans, foreign wildlife protection organizations call on not to kill them indiscriminately, but to use gentle methods to kill them;

When the city began to collapse and the government tried to relocate residents, some people shouted for freedom and refused to leave with guns raised...

Due to various reasons, the population of various countries in the world has decreased sharply, and the number of base cities eventually established is far less than that of Daxia.

Daxia created a miracle and guaranteed the people's right to survival to the greatest extent!

With 28 base cities and the largest post-disaster population in the world, Daxia has seen the emergence of a large number of fortune tellers and talents.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Excessive population aggravates the population carrying capacity problem of the base city.

Simply put, there are too many humans living in the base city, which will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the living environment and the shortage of resources.

Taking the simplest living conditions as an example, even though relay loans are now available, and the loan-to-loan loan-to-loan period can be given to a hundred years, there are still very few people who can afford to buy a house in the base city.

This is the fundamental reason why refugees refuse to enter the city. They or their parents are forced or voluntarily withdraw from the competition in the city.

Sadly, there are not many such refugees. They and their descendants are not registered, and some desperadoes who have broken the law in the base city often blend into their crowd, making their living environment even more dangerous.

Zhou Xu looked at the thatched huts and earthen huts outside the window. There were young women wearing only thin rags, soliciting passers-by outside the house, just for a bite to eat;

There were also dirty children who looked to be three or four years old and had runny noses, staring at passing jeeps with bright eyes.

In a short journey, you can see all kinds of life.

The jeep in front suddenly stopped.

A large group of refugees blocked the convoy's path, led by an old man with a hunchback.

"What happened?"

Many students in the bus became nervous as they saw a large number of refugees gathering.

Although they are already fortune tellers, they have little social experience and are a bit confused when encountering this kind of thing.

"They are blocking the road to get food! These guys are really short-sighted. They shoot a few times and the crowd disperses!"

Ruan Fu said dissatisfied.

Zhou Xu frowned slightly when he heard this. Ruan Fu had only had enough to eat for a few days before he lost his empathy.

Fortunately, the soldiers in front did not do what Ruan Phuc said. They sent two people to get out of the car, took out some food from the trunk, and gave some money to the leader of the hunchbacked old man.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

The old man nodded and bowed, holding up the money and waving to the refugees, who quickly moved out of the way.

This kind of thing obviously happened not once or twice, and the army was used to it. A young soldier took a few bags of bread and gave them to the little boy with a runny nose who was watching stupidly, and touched his head.

The little boy got the bread and without saying a word, he got into the hay shed behind him. Zhou Xu vaguely saw an old figure lying inside.

The little boy hid the bread. When the young soldier was about to leave, he ran out again and saluted him excitedly.

The young soldier's eyes immediately showed a look of guilt, he saluted him, and then returned to the car.

Zhou Xu was deeply moved when he saw this scene and said nothing along the way.

The convoy left the dilapidated village and drove forward for a while, finally arriving at a deserted town.

At the intersection of the small town, there were two commanders who had been guarding here early. When they saw the convoy, they hurried forward.

Skylark got off the car in front of the bus, chatted with the two fortune tellers for a while, and then walked alone to the streets of the town, closing his eyes and raising his hands.

Soon, the sky over the town suddenly darkened and was covered with a layer of gray!

Zhou Xu knew that this was the power of Yunque [Yunyin]'s destiny, which could isolate the fluctuations of life energy.

It seems that this is the examination room for the license examination.

Skylark created a gray veil around the town. The area was much larger than the previous No. 3 Middle School playground, which was amazing.

Moreover, outside the gray veil, I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the town, and I couldn't even hear the sounds inside clearly.

"Is this the destiny of a B-level person?"

This time Yunque used his true power, and Zhou Xu remembered what he had said about the inferior destiny.

Compared with the [Cloud Hidden] destiny, the limitations of the [Silence] destiny are indeed too great.

"In this trial town, the Fortune Master Association has placed 100 dangerous species in advance. Each dangerous species has a number from 1 to 100 imprinted on it. The larger the number, the higher the degree of danger.

"

"Dangerous species below 95 are in the F-level category, 95 to 99 have reached the E-level, and dangerous species with the number 100 have reached the D-level."

"Today's assessment is very simple. Before dawn tomorrow, as long as the total number of dangerous species you kill exceeds 100, you will pass the exam."

"In addition, since you are taking the license exam in advance, according to the dean's instructions, those who pass will receive additional rewards from the college."

"The dean also said that the person who ranks first in total number of numbers will receive other personal rewards."

"You are very lucky. You don't get this kind of treatment in the usual fortune teller exams."

Yunque explained the exam rules to the 13 candidates. After Zhou Xu listened, he couldn't help but ask: "Can numbers be exchanged with each other?"

The higher the number, the higher the degree of danger. The highest 100 is actually a D-level dangerous species. How terrible is that.

If you can exchange numbers, you can avoid fighting with powerful beasts as much as possible.

Many candidates' eyes lit up. Yes, if the numbers they get can be exchanged, then it will be much easier to get the total to exceed 100!

"Can."

A rare smile appeared on the cold Skylark's lips, "Not only can we exchange, but we can also rob each other."

Zhou Xu's pupils shrank and he could compete with each other. This clearly meant to intensify the conflicts among the candidates and strengthen the competition among them.

After all, the first place can get the additional reward of Martial Saint. This attraction is too great. As long as the more numbers are snatched, the first place is guaranteed!

"It is strictly forbidden to kill or maim during robbery. Other than that, there are not many rules. Do you understand?"

Yunque said, and Liu Heng roared excitedly after hearing this. "I understand!"

"Okay, everyone follows the instructions and enters from different directions in the town."

Each candidate is assigned a soldier or fortune teller to lead them into the town from different locations.

"We will meet in the middle of the town."
