Chapter 5 (1/2)

Zhang Che was confused. He didn’t know anyone from the military…

However, he still responded immediately. He knew that the only ones who were aware that he was entering the beast world were the school leaders who prepared his certificate, his homeroom teacher, Han Sheqing, and his classmate Huang Tielan.

Even his mother, Sun Lan, was unaware of Zhang Che’s plans. He didn’t want her to worry and hid this matter from her, lying to her that his school had organized some activities and he needed to be away with his teachers and classmates for some time.

As such, it was obvious who prepared this backpack for him.

Naturally, it wouldn’t be the school staff, nor Han Sheqing. They would have given it to him back at school otherwise.

Evidently, the backpack was prepared for him by Huang Tielan.

After thinking this through, while Zhang Che was considering whether to accept it, the staff started hurrying him, “Take your things and hurry on. There are many others waiting behind you.”

Left without a choice, Zhang Che could only accept the backpack and go on his way.

Standing over a flat plaza, an elliptical curtain of blue light over ten meters tall that seemed to be something from the fairy tales suddenly entered Zhang Che’s sight.

“So this is what a spatial gateway looks like. This thin layer of light doesn’t look impressive at all, yet it cannot be destroyed no matter what methods are used. How mystical!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but exclaim, looking at the curtain of light before him.

Over the past several decades, the Alliance’s coalition government had tried on many occasions to completely destroy the spatial gateways that had appeared out of nowhere. However, they never succeeded, no matter what weapons they used against them. They even tried digging up the ground underneath them, but nothing happened to the mystical gateways.

Following the people before him, Zhang Che entered the spatial gateway excitedly. As he did, not even a ripple formed on the curtain of light.

——

The moment he crossed the gateway, the scenery before him changed abruptly.

The gloomy sky was like the base of a gigantic grey pot. Looking into the distance, there were only mountains and hills of different heights in all directions.

Zhang Che was standing on a plaza, surrounded by a crudely constructed camp on the flatland between the hills.

The base was spaced out over a large area, with rows upon rows of wooden buildings. It resembled a small town, with people everywhere. It was a very lively place.

“So this is the rumored safe zone. How interesting.”

Although this was Zhang Che’s first time entering the beast world, he had learned from relevant classes that there wouldn’t be any exotic beasts appearing within a kilometer around the spatial gateway. It was only during the once-a-decade beast horde that the beasts would come swarming in from all directions.

Zhang Che had no intention of resting in the camp. He decided on a direction and started walking. He rejected a few group of people trying to strike up a conversation with him on the way, and soon entered the mountains.

One might get into a dangerous situation at any moment after leaving the safe zone. Zhang Che didn’t dare to be careless. The dark green card lying in his spiritual sea suddenly appeared between his fingers after he willed it.

After activating his beast card, a 1.5 m tall wild boar covered in black fur and with a pair of sharp tusks about half a meter long appeared in front of Zhang Che in the next moment.

“Tsk, Teacher Han’s taste is really…” Zhang Che clicked his tongue, looking at the ferocious-looking wild boar before him. He was at a loss for words. It doesn’t look impressive; why would Han Sheqing like this kind of animal?

“Well, I’d better look at what Huang Tielan prepared for me…”

Zhang Che shook his head. He was in no hurry to venture deeper into the mountains, anyway. He opened the backpack Huang Tielan had prepared for him, and discovered that there was a complete combat suit, in addition to a knife about a foot long.
