For this outcome, Lin Yuan was not surprised at all. He had anticipated it ever since Claire betrayed him; it seemed that his good luck had vanished completely. There was only worse to come, never the best. It felt as if this damned fate would not rest until it had him writhing in agony, unable to live or die.
However, Lin Yuan could also discern that this so-called voting incident was likely orchestrated by some unseen hand. After all, why would hundreds of instructors suddenly take a dislike to him?
Moreover, compared to this so-called Simulation Death Space, Lin Yuan was more concerned about the Ancient Protozoan Virus that Snow Wind mentioned. If she spoke the truth, his fate would be dire; if she lied, then his fate might become even worse.
"Number 1496871, in light of your past misdeeds and the extremely negative impact you have caused this time, the Arbitration Panel of the Ninth Training Base has delivered its final ruling: you are sentenced to enter the Simulation Death Space. You must survive there for 100 hours or die three times in succession. Regardless of how you pass, your crimes will be wiped clean after three simulated deaths. You now have three minutes to prepare, and you are allowed to ask three questions regarding the Simulation Death Space..."
As the final verdict was delivered amidst Lin Yuan's silence, a cold smile lingered in his heart. At that moment, all his previous hopes for Mechanical City and his desire to survive there evaporated into nothingness, leaving no trace of goodwill or expectation.
Yes, he should have awakened to this reality long ago.
The more it sank in, the more all his anger and resentment coalesced into an overwhelming determination!
Wasn't it just another betrayal?
Wasn't it just another experience of being utterly alone with no way out?
Wasn't it just another chance to rise from the ashes?
When everything is devoid of love!
When everything lacks a foundation!
When everything contradicts my beliefs!
Even if the ground collapses!
Even if I sink into eternal night!
Even if the next moment is the end of my life!
What can you do to me?
Three minutes passed in a flash, and Lin Yuan remained silent. He even gave up the three opportunities to ask questions, like a piece of steel that had grown cold to the extreme, or perhaps like a lifeless mechanical ruin. Under the gaze of countless Target Students and instructors, bound by a series of colorful electric chains, he was slowly sent into a portal that appeared out of thin air, and then he vanished without a trace.
...
For the other Target Students, this one hundred seconds was merely a curious wait, but for Lin Yuan, as he was instantaneously transported to that uniquely formed space by unknown means, he understood. What awaited him was battle—endless battle.
In an instant, the electric chains that bound him disappeared without a trace, restoring his freedom completely.
"Beep! ID number 1496871. Based on your strength assessment, you have entered an e5 difficulty level to D-Class difficulty Simulation Death Space, the Elyda Insectoid world. You need to survive here for one hundred seconds or die three times in succession. During this period, you will receive no supplies or support. Good luck! The three-second countdown begins! Three... two... one!"
As this information appeared, Lin Yuan realized that he was in a massive cave made of a limestone-like material. The cave was surrounded by numerous large passages, and at that moment, countless Zerg were patrolling within those passages. Lin Yuan found himself encased in a transparent energy shield, surrounded by a pile of gray-brown insect eggs; this was indeed the location of the Elyda Insectoid's core, the Queen of Thorns.
It truly was the Simulation Death Space. The game began at death difficulty!
In less than three seconds, Lin Yuan's Auditory Radar had already locked onto and identified over two hundred thousand Elyda Insectoids and conducted in-depth analysis on these creatures.
These insects seemed to be even more formidable than the Spiny Insects because even the weakest Elyda Insectoid possessed e5-level strength. Their bodies resembled ants, with slender waists and thick abdomens, powerful legs that were sharp like saw blades, standing only two meters tall with exaggeratedly sharp mandibles. Additionally, judging by the spikes that occasionally protruded from their abdomens, they could likely spray corrosive venom!
Moreover, within this Nest were numerous flying Zerg and special Elite Zerg!
In such a situation, breaking through and holding on for a hundred seconds was indeed an incredibly difficult task!
As soon as the three-second countdown ended, Lin Yuan immediately activated the invisibility feature of the Ghost Title. For now, this was the only method he could use; no matter what, he had to break out of the Nest first.
Fortunately, the invisibility feature of the Ghost Title was quite formidable, as it did not alert the nearby Swarm.
However, Lin Yuan soon found himself in a predicament. He was currently in the Nest's lair, which was quite spacious. While he had no issues moving in his invisible state, escaping was another matter entirely. The surrounding passages were interconnected, but there was no way for his Mechanical Body to pass through unscathed. Although he was invisible, if he encountered any Zerg, he would still be discovered.
Moreover, even if there were a few Zerg passages that were relatively wide, these passages lacked any planning and twisted like a maze. If he couldn't break out in a short time, it would consume too much energy for Lin Yuan, who was currently in an invisible state. After all, his Ghost Title wasn't infinitely usable; it required continuous consumption of Soul Fusion Degree. Once that degree was depleted, he would lose the Ghost Title altogether.
Thus, Lin Yuan hesitated little. While conducting comprehensive calculations through his Intellect, he quickly filtered out several passages that could be traversed and compared them based on the Zerg moving within them. After a few seconds, he had determined a rough escape route and plan!
However, Lin Yuan didn't hold out too much hope because even though the passage he chose appeared spacious, there were still many Zerg patrolling in and out. If things went awry, he would truly have to fight his way out!
At this moment, Lin Yuan was completely suspended in mid-air. His Mechanical Wings were too large to be used, and flying mode couldn't be activated due to energy fluctuations. Additionally, it was difficult to quickly switch to combat mode. Therefore, he utilized a gliding thrust mode combined with the Gravity Ejection Devices on his Mechanical Legs.
After cautiously maneuvering for a moment, he finally entered the designated passage without incident. At this point, his Auditory Radar's search range was limited to less than five hundred meters because he had no idea about the geological features here; his Search Radar waves couldn't penetrate at all. Coupled with the winding passages obstructing his line of sight, it was almost like being a blind person at midnight near a deep pool.
But just then, a detection message suddenly appeared without warning.
“Beep! Special minerals detected. Preliminary assessment indicates that these minerals are extremely rare and contain Nebula Iron Alloy, Gravitational Magnetic Alloy, and Dark Iron Heavy Magnetic Energy.”
Upon seeing this information, Lin Yuan paused slightly before recalling that during the preparation phase for the Year-End Exam, he had purchased a magnetic gravity mineral detection device from an e6 level Target Student and equipped it onto his Mechanical Body. It had been unused until now but unexpectedly proved useful at this moment.
Lin Yuan understood well how precious Dark Iron Heavy Magnetic Energy was; moreover, with the addition of something called Nebula Iron Alloy here, its value must also be considerable. Under different circumstances, Lin Yuan would have surely sought ways to mine some of it.
However, at this moment, surrounded by Elyda Insectoid in every direction, Lin Yuan dared not pause for even a second. He could only curse inwardly and continue moving forward without stopping. After all, the priority was to ensure his survival!
Originally, according to Lin Yuan's plan, as long as nothing went wrong or too terrible happened, he should be able to quietly escape several kilometers away. But perhaps due to his bad luck, just as he was less than two kilometers from the core of the Nest, he suddenly saw chaos erupting in the previously orderly line of Zerg ahead. It was as if they sensed a terrifying enemy, and like a tide, they began to flee inward!
Inevitably, this brought Lin Yuan into close contact with the situation while he was still cloaked.
At that moment, apart from cursing in his heart, Lin Yuan felt utterly helpless. He decided to drop his invisibility, unsheathe the large machete on his back, and launched himself forward with a series of powerful slashes to break through!
This machete had been crafted specifically for the Year-End Assessment, and its quality was quite good. Although the Elyda Insectoid were all at least E5 level, under Lin Yuan's full force, he could still break through their defenses and slash them apart!
However, what left Lin Yuan astonished and confused was that despite revealing himself, those Elyda Bug seemed completely oblivious to him. They continued to flee in panic like frightened dogs, rushing toward the depths of the Nest.
"What’s going on?"
Before long, as there were hardly any Elyda Bug passing by him anymore, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask himself in confusion. But before he could find an answer, a terrifying aura that could plunge him into nightmares emanated from the other end of the passage. Following that, his Auditory Radar picked up a horrifying scene.
A slick and incredibly flexible creature covered in terrifying slime slithered into the passage from outside. No, it should be described as some kind of tongue; wherever it passed, the passage became blocked. Some isolated bugs couldn’t resist at all and were directly swept into it. It looked just like an anteater raiding a termite mound on Earth!
"Oh my god!"
Cursing internally once more, Lin Yuan could only turn around and flee.
