Chapter 753: Essence of Speed 1

Unexpected.

Just as Zhang Yong understood and was about to set off, he discovered Lin An still standing in place.

"Lord Lin An?"

"Any other questions?"

He looked puzzled.

Since we've figured it out, and they indeed tried Room 277, the safety time is 30 seconds.

After Lin An figured that out, why didn't he move?

Lin An restrained his smile, his expression calm as he shook his head:

Your guess is correct.

The theory is also correct.

But I need to verify something.

I always feel...

The North America War Zone's line of thinking—where did it go wrong?

His mind subconsciously turned to the Time Sand inside the ring.

If it weren't for the Perfect-level mission, Lin An wouldn't have thought so much.

It's just too simple.

The North America War Zone's line of thinking is so simple it requires no thought, which completely mismatches the difficulty of a Perfect-level mission.

What a joke.

For a difficulty-increasing trial, the completion method actually lets them just farm points?

He knows the system's nature all too well.

Even if the trial task doesn't need many clues, just starting from Lin An himself, consider what the trial's purpose is.

But Lin An would never make such a foolish judgment.

Time Sand..

I remember that it can replay the past of any scene, just like rewinding a videotape.

Let me see... what exactly did I see back then...

He muttered softly.

In Lin An's memory, that scene inside the chamber suddenly surfaced.

Inside the sarcophagus crack, there seemed to be something...

The Weeping Angel's 30-second wait..

What exactly are we waiting for?

"Faster!"

Nearly six hundred people.

Huaxia and the North America War Zone joined forces, sprinting full speed into the labyrinth's interior.

He showed confidence.

This time, the North America War Zone's leader ran ahead, casually saying to Chen Yangtian with a smile:

"General Chen, use your Huaxia's ancient saying."

"This counts as reciprocity."

"Last time in the Strength Trial, you helped us; this time, we help you!"

Looking at the records, everyone's faces were filled with excitement upon finding Room 851.

The North America War Zone's judgment was correct!

The further in, the higher the room number, the more points you can farm!

Chen Yangtian glanced over with a light smile, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

I didn't expect this human to actually have figured out the mission's key.

To be honest, he's still worrying about how to handle this trial.

That monster's attack is too terrifying...

If you can't dodge, it's death.

"Chris, your line of thinking is indeed correct."

"Agility Trial, Labyrinth."

"Combined, they are indeed testing our speed."

"At first I was wondering what relation this trial has to speed."

"Now I think, the faster you are, the higher the efficiency in finding chambers, naturally allowing better passage through the trial."

"This labyrinth is really huge..."

At full speed, they actually didn't encounter any other war zone's Awakened Ones along the way.

Thinking about it, the labyrinth's range is exaggeratedly terrifying.

Even having realized Chris's point, wanting to rush inside to find a four-digit chamber is still not that simple.

It truly is a test of speed.

Chris smiled satisfactorily:

"Correct."

"Actually, this trial is also indirectly testing our reaction and thinking ability."

"Whoever thinks of it first gains the advantage."

It tested both group speed and individual reaction speed.

I have to say, the system trial... each time matches the theme.

After all, so-called agility, so-called speed—it's actually reaction power!

Chen Yangtian nodded; Chris's words were quite reasonable.

No matter how fast the body is, if the reaction can't keep up, it's still useless.

But conversely, if reaction speed is theoretically fast enough, one can even achieve anticipation!

This is where speed holds the most value in battle.

Upon entering the trial, the system mentioned that line.

(In this trial, reaction speed will not be weakened...)

Chris's thinking can be said to perfectly satisfy all conditions.

But Chen Yangtian seemed to think of something and asked hesitantly:

"Chris, is the time limit you mentioned true or false?"

"Is it really only possible to stay here for three days in this trial?"

He wasn't willing to just grind three rounds of points.

You should know that points will have an incredible effect at the Training Tower.

It's said, it's not just as simple as exchanging attributes and increasing promotion success rate...

After exiting the gate, the gate's existence had reminded him to acquire as many points as possible.

This point reward, no matter what apocalypse world, can only be obtained in the Training Tower.

Each person, each creature, only gets one chance to enter the Training Tower!

How precious!

"I don't know either, but I think there's no limit."

Chris hesitated for a moment, and did not conceal anything.

"I'm saying this purely to hint to other war zones: don't think about running around, just find a nearby secret room."

"After all, three days is short."

He changed the subject.

Chris glanced at the Huaxia war zone Awakened Ones and couldn't help but feel a sigh.

This war zone truly has a huge population.

Where did they gather so many trial participants from?

"General Chen, I'm curious."

"Is Lin An from your war zone really not a hidden hand you deliberately concealed?"

"I always feel that the perfect task completer of the last strength trial was him..."

He had a hidden meaning.

Although the two sides said they were cooperating, they were actually constantly suspecting each other.

The relationship between Lin An and the Huaxia war zone really looks like a deliberately fabricated facade.

Especially, many war zones noticed Zhang Yong of the Huaxia Military staying in Lin An's team.

Under all these speculations, few believe the Huaxia Military could still be split into two parts.

Chen Yangtian's expression stalled, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes:

"No."

"Lin An indeed has friction with us; what we said before is also true."

"He couldn't be the perfect task completer; even if he were, that wouldn't show how strong he is!"

"You know, in the last strength trial, many problems appeared..."

"I suspect that the true perfect completer must have found some clever way."

His gaze flickered away, replaced by sincerity.

"He Lin An stole the first Safe Zone token; this is something the High Level knows."

"As for Zhang Yong..."

He shook his head.

Chen Yangtian feigned sorrow:

"Chris, you know. Even in the apocalypse, there are people who disregard the greater good and go their own way..."

"Zhang Yong and them are actually stupid enough to think Lin An has great potential."

"Actually, we also can't figure it out."

"But as a member of Huaxia, I also couldn't possibly raise a hand against our own people."

"We can only let them do that."

"Ah, I just hope Lin An can understand us, be smarter. Don't cause us more trouble."

He slightly tilted his head.

After Chen Yangtian finished this topic, he coldly snorted in his heart.

I also don't know where Lin An ran off to again.

However, this little shrimp isn't worth him spending too much thought on.

Everyone cares about Lin An; it seems the human Survivors in the real world still place great importance on what Lin An represents.

Lin An's reputation must be ruined a bit.

"Anyway, he's currently posing as the Huaxia Military, and no one dares to doubt his words."

He does not hope that each war zone still harbors goodwill toward Lin An, and even that a few more fellows like Zhang Yong Fiona will appear.

If it weren't for these people's help, Lin An might have already died in the previous trial...

Before Secret Room 277.

"Lin Dui, you really want to go in alone!?"

Zhang Tie nervously pulled Lin An, gesturing for Lin An to wait for his talent to recover.

"We can't wait any longer."

"The agility trial must be related to the essence of speed."

"Just waiting seems safe, but I'm afraid something might happen."

"North American War Zone's plan, I always feel there is a huge loophole."

"By then, the trouble will be great..."

His gaze was firm.

Lin An took a deep look at the stone gate, his gaze solemn.

The time sand he took out emitted a faint light.

After careful consideration, Lin An decided to enter the secret chamber ahead of time.

His speed and reaction should be enough to withstand the previous attacks.

Believing that under the replay of the time sand, he would surely discover the true problem of this trial.

"Creak—"

The stone gate was pushed open.

Inside the gate lay darkness, evil within.
