Swallowed Star: Copy God

Chapter 16: City 008 (Revised Edition!)

The four-person elite team traveled by train to the wilderness area and entered a vast military garrison.

Ye Yun knew that near every base city, there existed such military garrisons, which could not only monitor the movements of monsters in the wilderness but also provide a place for warriors entering the wilderness to rest and resupply. Their function was indeed very necessary.

City 008 was not close to Jiangnan Base City. From this military garrison, it would still take at least two days to finally arrive.

Sun Qi did not decide to stay at the military garrison. After receiving the key to a room, he led Ye Yun and the others directly on their way.

Walking on the abandoned highway in the wilderness, Sun Qi said in a low voice,

"Ye Yun, although I am also amazed by your powerful talent, this time I will also have a strict assessment of you. If you do not meet the requirements of our team, I can only say sorry to you! I hope you can effectively exert your strength. I believe that as long as you put your heart into it, with your warrior-level physical fitness, dealing with monsters is not a difficult task!"

"Alright, it's not easy for our team to have another person, why are you so long-winded? Ye Yun, don't listen to him, just follow us closely. I want to see who dares to kick you out by then!"

Zhou Yun came over, patted Ye Yun's shoulder, and said to Sun Qi with a face full of impatience.

Ye Yun looked at Sun Qi's serious expression and didn't care too much about Zhou Yun's words. He understood Sun Qi's meaning. A mature and stable team like the 'Spirit Snake' team was generally unwilling to bring a newcomer like him. Once the newcomer dragged them down, it would be a great threat to the entire team.

Even though Ye Yun didn't think he would stay in the 'Spirit Snake' team for long, he still nodded heavily and said in a deep voice,

"Captain, don't worry, I will take it seriously!"

Sun Qi nodded with a smile, and then began to introduce the information of City 008,

"This City 008 was an extremely prosperous metropolis before the Great Nirvana. Because it is close to the ocean, the deeper you go, the higher the level of monsters you will encounter. This time, we are mainly here to train you, so we will only wander around the periphery of City 008. The monsters we deal with will generally not exceed the warrior level, to give you appropriate training while ensuring maximum safety!"

Following the 'Spirit Snake' team, the four gradually moved away from the military garrison.

At this time, Ye Yun could clearly feel that the expressions of Sun Qi and the other two had become focused, and their bodies were full of vigilance. Whether it was Sun Qi's spear, Liu Gu's broadsword, or Zhou Yun's long whip, all were held in their hands, ready to enter a battle state at any time.

The four avoided the soldier-level monsters along the way and sped towards City 008. As an elite warrior team, their usual targets were warrior-level monsters. Unless it was a particularly rare monster, they would not attack soldier-level monsters, as the returns were simply too low.

Sun Qi was extremely familiar with the route. After only a few hours of rest in the middle, it took the team several days to finally arrive at the edge of City 008.

Ye Yun thought that Sun Qi and the others would let him practice against other monsters on the way, but he didn't expect that they would bury their heads and rush for two days to directly enter the periphery of City 008. Fortunately, all four were warrior-level experts, and they didn't feel overwhelmed, maintaining their peak state.

Looking at the ruins in the distance, he could vaguely feel the prosperity of this City 008 before the Great Nirvana. Ye Yun couldn't help but feel very emotional. Humans are indeed exceptionally fragile at times, but they are always full of tenacious vitality. Perhaps it is because of this that they can become the pinnacle race in the universe.

Entering City 008, Sun Qi and the others were undoubtedly more nervous. He pulled Ye Yun and said in a low voice,

"Ye Yun, the main purpose this time is to give you a certain degree of training and assessment, so we will look for a lone elementary warrior-level monster, and then let Liu Gu injure it, and then it will be up to you to deal with it. What do you think of this arrangement?"

In fact, in Sun Qi's heart, such a plan could have been carried out before entering City 008, but he didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck, they hadn't encountered a single warrior-level monster along the way, so they had to carry it out after entering City 008.

Ye Yun was a little nervous, but he still nodded in agreement. It was his first time coming to the wilderness area of City 008, and his first shot was to deal with a warrior-level monster. It had to be said that Ye Yun didn't have much confidence, but after the training of the warrior combat assessment, his footwork had become proficient. After a month of closed training, he already had the posture of actual operation. Ye Yun believed that if he could fully exert his strength, he would still be able to defeat a warrior-level monster.

The four quickly came to a high-rise building. Liu Gu silently opened the long box behind him, revealing a thick firearm nearly two meters long. The long barrel shone with a cold light, and it could be seen at a glance that it had extremely strong power.

Liu Gu held the gun and came to the edge of the rooftop. Sun Qi introduced to Ye Yun in a low voice,

"This is a special S-875 heavy sniper rifle. A single bullet costs 100,000 Huaxia coins, but it is one of the few hot weapons that can cause a certain amount of damage to warrior-level monsters. However, it can only deal with some elementary warrior-level monsters, and the lethality is limited. If they are stronger, it will be basically impossible to strike first, but it still has a certain deterrent effect during the battle process."

Ye Yun nodded lightly. He also understood the reason. With the improvement of strength, the reaction and defense capabilities of warrior-level monsters can easily avoid the attack of hot weapons, which will not have any effect. Therefore, hot weapons and firearms are generally used to deal with groups of monsters below the warrior level. That is where they can exert their maximum power.

Liu Gu aimed at the front of the building through the scope of the sniper rifle, while Sun Qi and Zhou Yun were not idle. They each took out a high-powered telescope, scanning the surrounding situation, assisting in searching for the target monster, and also guarding against possible dangers.

After a while, Zhou Yun's short cry came from the right,

"Old Liu, this way, target found!"

Liu Gu and Sun Qi instantly changed positions and came to the direction where Zhou Yun was. Ye Yun also took out his telescope and immediately saw a panther-shaped monster with a gray body and some white stripes not far below the building, looking down and searching for prey.

"It's a White-striped Spirit Leopard! Old Liu, get ready to fire!"

Liu Gu did not respond. The whole person was completely focused, as if the center of the world was only the gun in his hand and the White-striped Spirit Leopard in the distance. Before long, a muffled 'bang' sound was heard. Immediately in Ye Yun's line of sight, a deep cut appeared on the upper left thigh of the White-striped Spirit Leopard, and bright red blood spurted out instantly. The White-striped Spirit Leopard immediately let out a shrill roar and turned to flee.

"Quick, Ye Yun!"

Sun Qi took the lead and jumped off the roof. Ye Yun didn't say a word and followed him down the building, rolled forward, and then, at Sun Qi's signal, ran straight towards the White-striped Spirit Leopard.

Sun Qi judged from the moment the White-striped Spirit Leopard was shot that this White-striped Spirit Leopard was only an elementary warrior-level, so he decisively made a decision. This White-striped Spirit Leopard was the first opponent Ye Yun faced after joining their team.

As an elementary warrior-level monster, the White-striped Spirit Leopard already had considerable intelligence. At the moment it was shot, it understood that it had been ambushed. It wanted to retreat directly, but it didn't expect Ye Yun to come so quickly, almost instantly reaching its front. It had no choice but to endure the injury to its upper left thigh and fought with Ye Yun who rushed up.

Ye Yun held the long knife tightly in his hand, fully displaying his footwork, avoiding the White-striped Spirit Leopard's pounce, and also looking for a suitable opportunity to attack. However, the White-striped Spirit Leopard's combat experience was obviously very rich. After only a few tentative attacks, it roughly understood Ye Yun's level, and suddenly its offensive became more violent. It suffered a minor injury, and blood was still pouring out continuously, making it unsuitable for a long battle. The White-striped Spirit Leopard naturally wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.

Seeing that Ye Yun was being suppressed, a hint of worry appeared on the faces of Sun Qi and Zhou Yun, who jumped down later, but neither of them had any intention of helping. Although Ye Yun was very 'precious', the necessary training was definitely indispensable, otherwise he would just be a showy figure and would not be able to become a real powerhouse.

However, Sun Qi and Zhou Yun were both seasoned experts. After a while, the two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Zhou Yun said uncertainly,

"Captain, is Ye Yun's footwork at the micro level?"

Sun Qi was also somewhat uncertain,

"Such subtle dodging, although the experience is a little lacking, it does meet the characteristics of micro-level footwork, and look at Ye Yun's swordsmanship, although it is very immature, the foundation is undoubtedly extremely solid. To be able to do this at the age of seventeen, Ye Yun is not only talented..."

At this time, Ye Yun eliminated the initial tension of the battle and finally fully entered the state, exerting all his strength. Especially the injured White-striped Spirit Leopard greatly reduced its agility, which was its specialty, and the threat to Ye Yun dropped again.

As the battle progressed, Ye Yun felt incomparably happy. During the previous warrior combat assessment, he was dealing with elementary soldier-level monsters. Under the circumstances of suppressing his strength, fighting was actually a bit uncomfortable. The White-striped Spirit Leopard, which was an elementary warrior-level monster in front of him, could allow him to exert his strength wantonly. Every knife strike and every dodge made Ye Yun feel his progress. This feeling made Ye Yun unable to help but immerse himself in it.
