18 years old?
Shi Long looked at Wei Heng's back and couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
"You joined the Hunter Brigade at such a young age. You are at least a level 3 original warrior. The warrior's physical fitness is better than that kid Lei Heng? If he is recruited into the elite training camp..."
"Well, don't worry, let's take a look at his performance in virtual space first." Sloan looked at the display screen.
The already dim screen lit up again.
…
Inside the test room.
After Wei Heng changed into a bionic test suit that felt like skin, he followed the staff's instructions and lay down on a smooth metal bed.
The metal bed was cold and a bit hard, making it uncomfortable to lie on.
"The second-generation consciousness-sensing helmet is still in the research and development stage and has not yet been put into production. You have to bear with it for a while. Once you enter the virtual space, your body will no longer feel anything."
The staff, who were wearing masks and covered in protective clothing, said while attaching various metal pieces connected to wires to Wei Heng's body:
"After the instrument starts up, your consciousness will pause in the dark for a few seconds before entering the virtual space. Don't panic."
"clear."
As the last metal piece was attached to the center of Wei Heng's brow, the staff left, and the lights in the entire room slowly dimmed.
"The consciousness sensor is ready to turn on."
"Countdown...3,2,1."
Buzz~~~
Wei Heng only felt darkness before his eyes. After a few seconds, his eyes lit up and he appeared on an endless wilderness plain.
"So real! Is this really a virtual space?" Wei Heng looked around.
The sky in this virtual space also has blue sky and white clouds, but the sun cannot be seen.
There are some yellow withered grasses, and you can hear a rustling sound when you step on them.
Wei Heng squatted down in surprise. Whether it was the touch with his fingers or the taste of pulling out a piece of grass and chewing it in his mouth, it was almost the same as the real world.
suddenly--
A transparent light curtain appeared in front of Wei Heng's eyes, displaying the styles of weapons one by one.
At the same time, a majestic voice echoed throughout the wilderness plain.
"Tester Wei Heng, please choose a weapon."
"It's amazing." Wei Heng exclaimed.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the light curtain and the majestic sound, he would have thought he was still in the real world.
Reaching out and lightly swiping the light screen, Wei Heng directly selected the 'Wind and Thunder Swords'. Then a light flashed in front of him, and two long unsheathed knives were inserted on the ground.
As for the combat uniform and combat boots, he had already put them on when he entered the virtual space.
"Tester Wei Heng." The majestic voice sounded again, "This is your first time to enter the virtual space. You have five minutes to prepare. Five minutes later, the first trial will begin! The opponent is ten F3 level iron red eagles. If
If you die in the middle, you have failed! If you kill it completely, you will successfully enter the next level."
"Note that in the virtual space, as long as you do not die, after entering the next level, all physical injuries can be recovered instantly. However, mental energy cannot be recovered, and consciousness fatigue cannot be recovered. Therefore, once your consciousness reaches the limit, you will also immediately recover.
After the trial ends, consciousness returns to the real world."
"The countdown begins now."
Suddenly a huge number appeared in the sky beating, 300, 299, 298...
"Can mental thoughts be restored? Can we use supernatural powers in the virtual space?" Wei Heng tried in surprise.
Sure enough, he sensed the blue mist energy in his sea of ​​consciousness, but the mysterious altar disappeared.
"This is amazing!"
He thought that just because his consciousness entered the virtual space, he would not be able to use powers and the like.
Even the ones controlled will only be virtual bodies uniformly equipped in the virtual space with the same physical qualities.
Now it seems that the virtual space studied by the GE Alliance is far more advanced than he thought.
No wonder they dare to call this project a ‘virtual universe’. The goal is to build a second virtual universe independent of the real world.
Without hesitation, Wei Heng tried to move a few times, quickly dodging, moving sideways, and swinging his double swords.
"The physical strength, speed...are really exactly the same as my body in this world." Wei Heng couldn't help but marvel again.
At this moment, he also understood why the metal plates were covered all over his body. Presumably they were used to collect his body data and then perfectly replicate it in his body in the virtual space.
...five minutes came quickly.
"The first trial begins!" As a majestic voice sounded, a row of ten black shadows suddenly appeared in the distant sky and flew towards this direction quickly.
"Iron Red Eagle...we are an old acquaintance." Wei Heng clenched his two swords tightly and stared at the sky.
It had just been a few days since the new recruits started fighting with each other, and he still had fresh memories of this mutant beast that almost killed him.
The Iron Red Eagle is not a real eagle. Before the Cataclysm, it was just a type of forest bird, and it was considered a relatively common bird.
It was just that after the cataclysm, it was parasitized by 'alien insects' and mutated.
What was originally about the same size as a large domestic rooster has turned into a giant raptor with a wingspan of nearly five meters and a weight of nearly 100 kilograms.
Under the red-grey feathers, there is a layer of fine scales, and the eyes have turned into insect-like compound eyes, glowing with a strange red light.
This is a mutated beast. In its original animal form, it has undergone insect transformation due to the parasitism of alien insects.
"Oh~~"
In the blink of an eye, ten iron red eagles arrived less than fifty meters in front of Wei Heng.
Their huge and powerful wings flapped, and the grass below them roared. They swooped down like ten fighter jets, stretched out their sharp claws, and swept straight towards Wei Heng.
At first, the F2-level iron red eagle pierced his body with one claw. Now, with the ten stronger F3-level iron red eagles, Wei Heng had no doubt that even if their sharp claws could not pierce his combat uniform, the huge
The impact can also cause serious injuries or even death in an instant.
certainly.
As long as you don't get touched, it'll be fine.
call.
The first of the ten iron red eagles finally rushed in front of him. Wei Heng could even smell the fishy smell that hit his nose, but he still stood calmly on the spot.
It wasn't until Tie Red Eagle's sharp claws were about to touch his body that Wei Heng finally moved.
Whoosh.
Side step.
Following his progress, he turned around and flashed his sword with both hands.
Tsk! Tsk!
Not only did the first Iron Red Eagle spurt out blood mist from its neck, but even the second Iron Red Eagle, which was slightly behind, had a bloodstain on its chest.
"Two!" Wei Heng calmly swung his knife again to cut off the neck of the second iron red eagle. Then he kicked hard with his back foot, leaning back and sliding across the grass, dodging the people behind him.
Culling of the Iron-headed Red Eagle.
Then he turned around, almost like lightning, and stabbed several times with the two knives in his hands.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
The two iron red eagles that landed at the end rolled directly to the ground during the dive. They struggled twice and then stopped moving.
Blood flowed from their chests and abdomens, and soon filled a large pool.
"Four." Wei Heng's eyes were cold.
Watching the remaining six iron red eagles hover in the air and separate, scattering towards me like open pockets...
This time he didn't wait any longer, but rushed directly towards one of them.
To be continued...
