My Cell Prison-Chapter 1188 - 1187 Performance Test

[Corpse Country]

As the Dragon Boat transcended the foggy zone, allowing a full overview of such a floating nation, Han Dong’s heart trembled.

As a "Node Holder," Han Dong could roughly evaluate the current nation, and in terms of area and scale alone, Corpse Country was even larger than Prometheus-City of Gods.

The energy contained within surpassed the total of City of Gods.

Not to mention, the gigantic chains linking the Floating Island and underneath Corpse Country might even point to another dangerous area.

This scene left Han Dong somewhat stunned.

"What’s the situation? Prometheus-City of Gods corresponds to a [Five-star Mid-sized World].

Why does this place feel even more powerful... Given my current level and status as a Trainee Employee, I should only be able to intervene in medium and inferior world’s out-of-control incidents.

Could it be..."

Han Dong thought of Derry Town, in which he owned shares.

"Could it be that this world has already been advancing during the period it slipped from Black Tower’s control? Yes... Black Tower’s intelligence on the Tomb World is still several years old.

The situation is indeed much more troublesome than expected, no wonder, several teams of employees have died in here."

Han Dong composed his current emotions, although the world was vast, his initial start was still quite good.

...

As the Dragon Boat approached the City Wall.

The emaciated old man who had previously received Han Dong and the doctor appeared at the lookout of the Dragon Boat’s bow.

Upon seeing this old man, the Corpse Handlers in charge of the City Wall immediately opened the [Corpse Plague Fissure] specifically for the passage of the Dragon Boat.

As he entered the state-city, Han Dong had thought he could overlook the whole Corpse Country from the air.

Little did he know, there were layers of mechanisms still inside.

The exceedingly complex national district structure, separated different areas through poisonous canals, Corpse City Walls, or special barriers.

Each district’s sky was also enveloped by Corpse Energy, making it impossible to glean any information from aboard the Dragon Boat.

Clack!

The Dragon Boat docked at an air harbor hundreds of meters above the ground.

The "Performance Evaluation" mentioned by Pei Zheng would be conducted on the Dragon Boat.

The reason why it was not conducted during the journey.

Mainly worried about some unqualified Handler turned Locksmiths who might jump ship in desperation... At a time when manpower was needed, even the lowest trash could be of use.

"The performance evaluation is simply divided into literary and martial trials, and passing one is enough to qualify."

He said.

A massive, corpulent zombie, over five meters tall and robust, hopped out from inside the Mechanical Building. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Each leap caused a slight tremble in the Martial Arts Arena, quickly arriving at the very center.

"The martial trial is very simple. Each of you will have two opportunities to strike the giant zombie... As long as your attacks can shake the target, you will qualify.

Afterward, proceed to the Internal Affairs Building for the literary trial."

Zombie Transforms, having undergone transitions from Corpse Handler to zombie... This point was much like the transformation from common Evil to Demon in the Demon World.

The qualitative change here was quite apparent, and each would often develop a sense of ’invincibility’ due to the influx of potent forces.

These villagers, who had never seen the outside world, were inevitably prone to such mentality.

Several self-important zombies dared to exhibit their [Martial Force] along the wall, trying to impress Pei Zheng, the Chief Instructor, hoping perhaps to stay on the Dragon Boat as shipworkers.

However.

A series of Corpse Handlers stepped forward for the assessment, with a pass rate of only 31%.

Some unique Corpse Handlers, like one with an enlarged arm that dragged on the ground, managed to punch the giant corpse back a full two sections and even left a shallow fist imprint on the surface of its body.

However, for common Corpse Handlers like Han Dong, it was difficult to unleash explosive strength... As a result, they often couldn’t shake the target.

During this time, there was even an unexpected incident.

Although the giant corpse allowed everyone to attack without any movement, one of the Corpse Handlers changed tactics to a "Head Hammer attack" after the first attack was ineffective.

He bent his knees and gathered strength, launching his body forward.

Crack!

It slightly moved the target, but his own head broke as a result.

Laughter immediately burst out across the martial arts arena...

Of course.

The breaking of the skull wasn’t a fatal injury for Corpse Handlers and could be completely repaired; this Corpse Handler progressed because of the slight disturbance.

"Doctor, just bring out your full strength later...try to get the highest evaluation possible. I suspect that aside from affecting our entry into the city, the assessment might also be related to some official positions."

"Understood, what about you, Lord?"

"I will try to minimize my presence... I’m considering a two-pronged approach, to identify the ’Control Source’.

If the Control Source isn’t even in the Imperial City District, let alone in the Corpse Country, our search will waste a lot of time...and might even expose us while searching the Imperial City."

Han Dong had such a conjecture because of the "huge chains" he observed during the Dragon Boat’s journey.

According to Han Dong’s intuition, these chains connecting the Floating Island to the Corpse Country must involve the World Origin...Perhaps there were unspeakable secrets hidden underground.

Next, the Doctor took the stage.

His exposed black spine, coupled with the Mechanical Columns protruding between his vertebrae, drew most people’s attention.

And the attack method the Doctor chose, astonishingly, was the same Head Hammer used by the previously amusing Corpse Handler.

ZZZ!

The Mechanical Columns on the surface of his spine compressed, releasing a large amount of steam.

The speed generated by the charge was almost the same as that of the Corpse Demon Ape, and even faster due to being smaller.

The reason for using the Head Hammer.

The Doctor’s main body was his brain, which was heavily reinforced during the Zombie Transformation. The material and density of the skull, along with the swollen brain’s internal support, made the skull the hardest part of his body.

And the bent spine would also create a ’catapult’ effect.

Such an attack caused the giant corpse, which had never moved before, to lift its palm for the first time.

Boom!

A strong collision sound spread throughout the arena.

The giant corpse stepped backward a full three steps, and the palm used to block was smashed into a hole the size of a head.

This scene shocked all the Corpse Handlers present, and the Chief Instructor Pei Zheng also showed some change in his expression, quietly commented, "Hmph, not bad...worthy of the one who could kill a Corpse Demon and accidentally obtain Mechanical Planting.

Such quality, as the Governor said, requires just a bit of training to be of use to the court."

The Doctor touched his shiny head and then headed toward the Internal Affairs Building... With the Doctor’s brain, obtaining good results in the literary examination wouldn’t be a problem.

Next was Han Dong’s turn.

Without any tricks, nor using tentacles to enhance his body, he directly attacked using his existing Corpse Form.

Dang!

The seemingly obese giant corpse was not soft at all, rather it was like a huge Vajra Bell, almost breaking Han Dong’s fingernails.

"Han Dong, martial examination failed...please proceed to the Internal Affairs Building for the literary examination within one minute."
