The silver moonlight tore through the night and sprinkled its cold and clear light on the earth.
Among the more than a thousand warriors who participated in the assessment, only 127 passed the preliminary assessment. It has to be said that it's really not easy to join the Guard Squad.
Next, the remaining 127 warriors would still face the final assessment. Although they didn't know what the final assessment was, there would surely be some eliminations.
It's hard to say how many of the more than a thousand warriors who participated in the assessment would truly pass the assessment.
This group of warriors who had passed the preliminary assessment followed a middle - aged man in a black battle suit into the Lingfeng City Military Region, waiting nervously for the final assessment.
The military camp was bustling. A rich dinner was specially prepared for these warriors who had passed the preliminary assessment.
After having a good meal, under the leadership of the middle - aged man in black, they came to an open square.
"One hundred and twenty - seven? Luo Yi, there are quite a few people this time."
A burly man walked forward with a smile and gently punched the middle - aged man in black on the chest.
"Luo Yi, give me a hint. Which ones are the good prospects?"
The burly man put his arm around Luo Yi's neck, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear.
On Luo Yi's stern face, a rare smile appeared. He and the burly man had been in the same squad before and had gone through life and death together dozens of times. Their relationship was extremely close.
"You know the rules, Lao Gu. There are good prospects, but it depends on your judgment."
Luo Yi straightened his face and gently slapped away the hand the burly man had placed on his shoulder. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Ke Bei.
"Understood, understood. The rules can't be broken."
The burly man noticed Luo Yi's gaze, laughed heartily, and pretended to be nonchalant as he walked aside.
In a short while, seven or eight more burly men came to the square.
"The Ningxing Squad, the Liuhuo Squad, the Tianya Squad... Hmm, there are a total of nine squads. Everyone is here, and we can start the selection."
Luo Yi looked at the nine burly men, stepped aside, and pointed at the 127 people who had passed the preliminary assessment.
"Who will go first?"
Gu Kun, the burly man, stared at the other eight burly men with his big eyes like bronze bells.
"Brother Gu, of course, you go first. There's no need to be polite."
"Yeah, Brother Gu, you go first."
A man of medium build smiled and took a step back. There were a total of nine squads here to select new members today. Gu Kun, the burly man, led the only two - star squad, and his own strength had reached the peak of a Three - Pole Enhancer. How could these one - star squads dare to compete with him?
"Hehe, brothers, then I won't be polite ."
Gu Kun took a few steps, pretended to look at a few people, and then stopped in front of Ke Bei.
"Young man, what's your name?"
"Ke Bei."
Ke Bei looked up at Gu Kun in front of him and smiled. Gu Kun also had a thick beard, and his build was comparable to that of Big Beard Dad. He was equally burly and strong. Ke Bei felt a sense of affection for him at the first sight.
"How about joining my squad, young man?" Gu Kun smiled and extended his hand.
"Sure."
Ke Bei smiled and extended his hand. He had a good impression of this burly man and readily grasped Gu Kun's broad palm.
"Straightforward. I like it."
Gu Kun gave a loud shout and suddenly increased the strength in his hand holding Ke Bei's.
The Ningxing Squad doesn't want useless people.
Fighting against demon beasts in the Wilderness Area is originally a matter of being on the verge of life and death. If a burden is suddenly added, it will have a great impact. As the team leader, Gu Kun had to be cautious.
"Little brother, I'll put it bluntly. Our Ningxing Squad can provide you with an opportunity for experience, allowing you to get used to fighting against demon beasts and zombies in the Wilderness Area. However, you also need to work hard yourself and not rely on the help of other team members. If you can't satisfy the team members after the first mission, I'll have to kick you out of the squad."
As Gu Kun spoke, he kept increasing the strength in his hand.
"Brother Gu, I understand."
Ke Bei smiled, his face remaining calm as usual, as if he didn't feel the pressure on his hand. His current strength was not much inferior to that of a Three - Pole Strongman. Gu Kun was just testing and didn't use his full strength, so Ke Bei naturally didn't feel the pressure.
"Haha, if you understand, little brother, I can rest assured. Good, very good."
Gu Kun withdrew his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes. Just now, he had increased his strength to about seven or eight times that of an ordinary person, but Ke Bei was still very calm.
He was very satisfied that a new recruit could have such strength.
"Brother Luo Yi, this person is taken by the Ningxing Squad. Please register it."
"Sure, I'll register it right away."
Luo Yi smiled knowingly. He was also happy that his former comrade - in - arms had selected a strong new recruit.
The formalities were quickly completed.
"Come on, little brother. I'll take you to get your equipment. When we have time, the members of our squad will go to the Wanhua Building in the West City for a good drink and get to know each other."
Gu Kun was very happy to have recruited a capable new member. He led Ke Bei towards the depths of the military camp.
"Don't two - star squads usually not accept new recruits?"
After Gu Kun left, the leader of the Liuhuo Squad asked the man beside him with some doubt.
"Hehe, who knows? Generally, two - star squads don't accept new recruits. Brother Gu has such a temper. He likes to take in new recruits. He said that there will be more affection if he brings up new recruits himself."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Hurry up and select people. I lost three brothers in the last mission. Alas, I must replenish the fresh blood quickly."
"Alas, I also lost two brothers."
"Let's select people."
Seven or eight one - star squads began to select new members. After the selection, only 39 out of the 127 people who had passed the preliminary assessment were successfully selected.
Among them, the young man like a savage joined the Tianya Squad.
The Tianya Squad was a middle - to - upper - level one - star squad. The team leader was a strongman who had reached the peak of the Second - Level Enhancer. It was quite good for the young man like a savage to follow him.
Among more than a thousand warriors, only 39 passed the assessment in the end. It's indeed not easy to join the Guard Squad.
There are specialized training institutions in the base city. More than 90% of the members of the Guard Squad are directly selected from within the training institutions. Those with good talents are recruited into the training institutions for specialized training at an early age.
Therefore, although the Guard Squad still conducts public recruitment every month, the number of positions is very limited. It's really not easy to join the Guard Squad unless one is very outstanding.
Under the leadership of Gu Kun, Ke Bei successfully entered the military region's armory. After presenting the certificate, Ke Bei began to select equipment.
Three thick books, about one foot thick each, appeared in front of Ke Bei.
"Select the weapon suitable for you. You can't fight against demon beasts in the Wilderness Area without a suitable weapon."
Gu Kun smiled and patted the three thick books.
"Take your time to choose. Choose the one that suits you best."
"Okay."
Ke Bei nodded. He opened the book and quickly scanned the table of contents with his eyes.
"Weapons, armor, shields, battle suits."
There were a total of four categories.
"I don't need a weapon. I already have the 'Lietian'."
"The focus is on the armor and the battle suit."
Ke Bei quickly scanned the table of contents, carefully selecting. Since he had just joined the Guard Squad, there weren't many things he could choose from.
Half an hour later, Ke Bei raised his head.
"I've chosen. I want the tungsten - iron armor and the ice - silk battle suit."
"What about the shield? And the weapon?"
Gu Kun was a bit puzzled. There weren't many choices for armor and battle suits. New recruits generally chose the tungsten - iron armor and the ice - silk battle suit. The main focus was on choosing weapons. After all, everyone was good at using different weapons, so there were the most choices in the weapon category.
"I already have a weapon." Ke Bei smiled and patted the pu dao a kind of Chinese sword diagonally inserted on his back.
"I don't know how to use a shield, so I don't want it."
Ke Bei told the truth. He had never used a shield and wasn't interested in it.
"I see. Well, okay."
Gu Kun nodded.
Gu Kun reported the tungsten - iron armor and the ice - silk battle suit that Ke Bei wanted to the person in charge of the armory. Ten minutes later, the armor and the battle suit that Ke Bei wanted were delivered.
Next, Gu Kun accompanied Ke Bei to get the property ownership certificate. It was a house at Room 605, 6th Floor, Building 18, Mingye Community, North City.
"I also live in Mingye Community. We'll be neighbors from now on."
Gu Kun smiled and patted Ke Bei on the shoulder.
"Things are almost settled. I still have something to do, so I won't see you home. I'll go directly to Mingye Community to find you tomorrow and introduce the other five members of our Ningxing Squad to you."
"Okay, Brother Gu, you go and attend to your business."
After leaving the military camp, Ke Bei held the armor and the battle suit in a small wooden box and waved to Gu Kun.
Stepping into the night, Ke Bei walked towards the South City.
"Sister Qianqian, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
When Ke Bei got home and saw Li Qianqian squatting at the door, he said in surprise.
"I, I was waiting for you to have dinner."
When Li Qianqian heard Ke Bei's voice, she suddenly stood up, walked up to Ke Bei in small steps, took the box in Ke Bei's arms, and said with her head lowered.
Lighting the oil lamp, Ke Bei ate the meal that Li Qianqian had just reheated. Looking at the familiar and narrow room, he suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Qianqian held a bowl and took a sip of soup. Seeing Ke Bei suddenly laughing for no apparent reason, she asked softly.
"Hehe, Sister Qianqian, we don't have to squeeze in this small house anymore."
Ke Bei said triumphantly.
"We'll move tomorrow, to a big house with a kitchen, a balcony, and three bedrooms."
