Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1079 - 291: The Answer Is About to Emerge

"Is Chi Tu okay?" Ghost Pupil asked with a worried expression.

"He's fine. He can't die. It's a special ability of my Player Clan, allowing us to enter a mental protection state by shutting off part of our consciousness," Li Zheng cursed in the team chat channel, then gave Ghost Pupil an answer.

"Then why don't you use it?" A student from the Domain City Clan asked perplexedly.

"We're not at our limit yet, it's unnecessary. There are side effects. Use it too much, and you become an idiot."

With Chi Tu confirmed to be unharmed, the other students continued focusing on themselves, trying to capture the pure energy particles drifting in the Evil Wind.

Although aided by mysterious energy, filtering energy is originally part of the assessment.

They aren't sure how long the mysterious energy will last, and their current efforts are to reserve energy for survival in future days.

Li Zheng and the players of the Liver Emperor Group weren't idle either.

Watching live streams, browsing forums, checking Trading House prices... Other than being unable to move and feeling hungry, life was even more comfortable than in the training camp.

The training camp had special training projects every day, the process was exhausting, leaving one physically and mentally drained.

But here, it's akin to a vacation.

Occasionally, they glanced at their suffering brothers, cheering for them in their hearts.

It's said that the "Baleforce Body Tempering" trial is one of the highest mortality training projects.

But this time, the players with Energy Absorption capabilities were escorting them, ensuring that none of the brothers would die and everyone would safely return to camp.

The price is that the brothers will endure more suffering than previous trainees.

Day and night alternated, at the bottom of the valley shrouded in black mist, time could be barely discerned through the thin, intermittent ray of light overhead.

Then one day, the Evil Wind suddenly weakened.

Having endured for several days without exchanging words, the training camp brothers all opened their eyes.

"Hahaha, good days are finally here," exclaimed a Four Eyes Clan student in delight.

"What a shame, I was hoping the intensity could be ramped up a bit over the next few days, boring," Long Gen said with a regretful expression as he surveyed the gradually clearing scene. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Upon hearing such an egotistic remark, Li Zheng and other students collectively showed him their middle fingers.

If anyone was a beast, it had to be Long Gen.

No matter what they thought internally, outwardly, he always demanded a higher difficulty, even if that difficulty was beyond his capability.

With the weakening of the Evil Wind, the atmosphere started to become lively, and students used conversation as a means to relieve pressure.

Under normal circumstances, this would be the prime time to obtain Life Energy.

But the Life Energy within every student was plentiful, and there was no need to worry about this issue.

Unconsciously, the topic shifted to the frontline battlefield.

To Li Zheng and Liver Emperor Group players, the battlefield is always a heavy topic.

Before leaving, God of Wealth stated that 8 million Reverse Tide warriors die every day, and this is just the regular casualty count.

If a full-scale war erupts, the death count could increase several times, or even tens of times.

The trainees from the Reverse Tide Army might not survive even a day on the frontline.

Thinking of these brothers who spent days and nights together all heading to a brutal battlefield, they felt deeply depressed.

As players, they could have an infinite tolerance for mistakes.

But their brothers' lives could only be lived once.

Even as players, they weren't omnipotent, lacking the ability to change Tongzi's fate. What they could do was accompany them.

But the other trainees' feelings were completely opposite.

When talking with Tongzi and other trainees about the battlefield, their eyes glowed with anticipation.

Li Zheng had long understood what attitude this group of brothers had towards going to the battlefield.

In these Alien Race trainees' cognition, their life's value had long been fused with the glory of their clan.

As the elite new generation selected from the clan, they must fight for the clan's glory.

So they yearned to step onto the battlefield, not without fear, but with the firm belief that only through the tempering of blood and fire could their existence shine its brightest glory, until their soul returns to Reverse Tide, bringing glory to their clan.

This was a responsibility instilled in them from memory.

Every drop of blood shed in the Reverse Tide Training Camp was to forge themselves into War Weapons.

Even every breath in the training camp was preparing for the battlefield, and death was not an unknown void to them, but a destination, the most magnificent form of life's combustion.

When talking about the battlefield, their eyes held no shadows, only a fierce light.

And a calm disregard for life and death.

This was their destiny, and the biggest difference between them and the players.

To the players, the battlefield is Purgatory, a meat grinder of death.

But in the other students' eyes, the battlefield is the starting point of their honor.

They do not fear death; they only worry about not being able to let the clan's flag fly on the battlefield for longer.

The moment they step onto the battlefield, they will fulfill their innate mission, fighting for Reverse Tide until life's end.

This is the entirety of their existence's meaning.

And the players can only watch silently at all of this.

Powerless to change these warriors' destinies, unable to comprehend how they can embrace Destruction so peacefully.

Li Zheng once wondered if these brothers had been brainwashed.

But after getting to know them for a long time, he was clear that these brothers had always been lucid.

He once had a conversation about the battlefield with Ghost Pupil.

Trying to use their Earthling's logic to persuade them, telling them life shouldn't be burnt away so easily.

Ghost Pupil's retort was:

"Then tell me, what is meaningful living, is it about finding a place to survive shamefully, do you find that meaningful?"
