“We’re out!”
Chris looked at the familiar white platform and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The difficulty of this trial far exceeded everyone’s imagination.
First came the adaptation phase, then the advanced phase, where over 80% of the people were eliminated. The most abnormal part was that after that, they were purely fighting intelligent creatures, just like a real battlefield.
Continuous high-intensity killing.
Chris hadn't rested since the first hour of rest.
But it was fine.
He finally made it through.
“I should be able to become a qualified Four-Dimensional Soldier, right?”
Thinking of his ranking, Chris felt a bit uneasy.
In the end, the gap between him and the first-place individual did not close; instead, it remained a world apart.
Before leaving, Chris glanced at the leaderboard.
First place: 2,138,471,938.
2.1 billion.
Chris himself had only killed a million-level.
The gap was too, too big.
Who was it?
Chris searched around the white platform.
At this moment, the number of people on the white platform was much less than before.
Chris estimated there were only a few million people.
Less than one in ten remained.
“Congratulations, all of you have qualified to join the Legion. You will be assigned to corresponding ranks based on your performance on the battlefield, and team assignments will be random.”
Chris saw a letter of conferment appear before him.
The rank conferred was Second-Class Soldier, and the position was Squad Leader.
It was a small position, but Chris was already very satisfied.
On the side of his vision, a list of names appeared for Chris, all his assigned squad members, a total of 10.
“Everyone, prepare within 10 hours and board the warship. We will soon depart for the Four-Dimensional Space.”
“So fast?”
“I haven’t even had time to say goodbye to my family!”
“Can’t you give us more time?”
“Is it that urgent? Nothing will happen if we’re a bit late!”
Complaints rose and fell all around.
“Failure to board the warship within 10 hours will be considered a forfeiture of qualification.”
“…”
The rigidity of those in charge exceeded the imagination of these newly recruited Soldiers.
Among the crowd, those who had already enlisted were unfazed by this.
A Soldier is about absolute obedience.
If one does not obey, then one should not be a Soldier.
“These people should be grateful they haven’t truly entered the army yet, otherwise, such words disturbing military morale would have already led to a military verdict.”
In the team, an old Soldier spoke up.
“Thank you!”
Ordinary people rarely encountered such matters.
The old Soldier’s words were a reminder.
Chris also kept it in mind.
But he felt that his colleagues around him seemed to be a disorganized rabble.
The Federation’s Soldier prepared by was actually quite large, so why did they specifically want ordinary people like them to join the army?
Chris had some doubts in his mind.
Soon, everyone on the white platform was teleported back to their original places.
Chris saw the old man leisurely lying in the shop, surrounded by some unfamiliar faces.
He received the warship’s location, which was in the Starport on the Star Continent. If he were to rush there, it would take exactly 10 hours.
He immediately felt a panic in his heart.
He quickly hailed a hovercar and rushed towards the Starport’s location.
Others did the same.
As for going home, Chris himself had no such thought.
In this era, the bond between children and parents was not that close, though it was certainly much stronger than casual relationships, but they were actually quite independent of each other.
Parents generally raised their children until adulthood and then no longer cared for them; it was truly a hands-off approach.
Anyway, in this era, it was impossible for people to starve to death.
The only one Chris cared about was Daxi in the display window!
“Wait for me to come back!”
10 hours.
Chris arrived at the Starport. The warship was docked in the Starport, vast and mysterious.
Chris had only encountered warships in games before, and while they were very realistic, they were far less shocking than facing one in the real world.
Upon entering the warship, Chris felt himself become one of countless Soldiers, sitting in the spacious ship cabin, waiting for the warship to start.
…
“Are we really sending them over?”
At a certain tower in the Starport, Buweilun felt a bit reluctant.
“These people are meant to be sacrificed. Whether they can be safe depends on their luck.”
“We can’t let our Soldiers undertake such missions.”
Sherrill believed that people themselves were consumables, especially ordinary people, who should contribute their value to Civilization.
“Besides, we’ve already conducted several experimental crossings. Probes and small units have successfully reached the Four-Dimensional Space. What do you have to worry about?”
“Do you know how many scholars are supporting this operation?”
Buweilun knew.
But before, it was just small units, and this time it was a large number.
Even if he didn’t understand the academic aspects, he knew the two were not comparable.
“It has already launched. We should also start preparing. The wormhole cannot be maintained for long.”
Both of them were high-ranking military figures.
They were appointed as the main and deputy Commanders in this operation.
They had never been to the Four-Dimensional Space before, and it was a blank slate to them. They were both bewildered and incredibly excited about reaching the Four-Dimensional Space.
Even if it wasn't the first time going to the Four-Dimensional Space, the feat of returning to the Four-Dimensional Space was still dazzling. As the main and deputy Commanders of the first operation, their names and experiences would be forever inscribed on the monument of Civilization.
Even a small corner would suffice.
The warship unleashed a powerful particle stream to propel itself forward.
Chris felt the strong acceleration acting on him.
“Please all personnel prepare. We will approach the Zero Black Hole and enter the wormhole.”
The Zero Black Hole was no stranger to anyone here.
After all, one could see it just by looking up at the starry sky.
However, the wormhole was something many people heard about for the first time.
In fact, the plan to go to the Four-Dimensional Space was not kept secret, but still, a considerable number of people did not know the specific details.
They just wanted to join the army.
And then go to the battlefield.
Their boring lives had made them feel weary.
They had developed a yearning for war through various rich entertainments.
Those colorful scenes, that shared passionate emotion, made their hearts pound.
Chris was also one of them.
He was uneasy.
He was excited.
His heart was wrapped in a strong sense of honor.
“Four-Dimensional Space, here I come!”
Someone shouted, and the others also started shouting.
It sounded awkward.
But at this moment, it contained the emotions of everyone.
With a tremor from the warship.
The entire warship entered the wormhole.
The feeling of being pulled spread throughout his body. Although it wasn't terrifying, it caused a lot of discomfort.
