Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!-Chapter 75: Four Great Fighting Occupations
Chapter 75: Four Great Fighting Occupations
After ten years of moving and construction, Dragon City reached the peak of its glory while it was on Earth. It had a population of tens of millions.
Millions of them were specialists and high-quality workers who moved over from the coastal cities.
There were also more than one hundred full-time universities, hundreds of research centers and industrial parks, and two steel organizations. The researchers and production workers numbered to millions.
To deal with the cruel competition, Dragon City categorized its industry. They had upstream and downstream industry chains, and a large number of military industries as well as military bases hidden underground, where they would be able to withstand the impact of nuclear weapons.
There were also industry innovated towns and technology innovated towns around Dragon City. All of them were coastal towns that moved inland and formed more than ten satellite cities. Together with Dragon City’s main city area, they formed a super metropolitan area that was rarely seen on Earth.
All this transmigrated to the Other World in just one night.
Due to the overlapping spaces and pressure from both sides, the space in the area around Dragon City’s metropolitan area started showing very strange signs of folding and elongating spaces.
For example, there was originally a small industrial town with a population of two hundred thousand people around fifty kilometers in the north of the main city area.
After they transmigrated, a mountain range from the Other World was positioned between the town and the main city area, and now, the distance between the town and the main city area was extended by one hundred kilometers.
Since the distance between them was far and there was fog around, the people from the main city area only discovered the town twenty years later.
At that time, the industry town’s population had shrunk from two hundred thousand to thirty thousand.
They lacked resources, their technology regressed, and order collapsed. Since they only had two hundred thousand people and their production system was incomplete, it was not enough for the town to maintain its civilization in the Other World.
Many of the citizens who were rescued were already at their last breath from all the torture they went through. In fact, to survive, their organs, limbs, eating habits, and moral values had all changed drastically.
Jiangnan Region went through the same.
They struggled for more than a decade in the fog before they were discovered by the main city area.
Fortunately, the region was not a small, normal town. Jiangnan Region’s population was large enough to ensure the flames of civilization burning even when the creatures from the Other World invaded them.
But the monster invasions became more serious, and their fog was even denser than in Jiangbei. Space-time rifts were much more common there, and they also had more monsters appearing among them. Those monsters happened to be more brutal as well.
Hence, the customs in Jiangnan Region became even more boorish than Jiangbei, or rather, not many normal citizens remained to live there. Instead, it became a playground for the Red Dragon Army and the superhumans.
If someone was not skilled, they would never dare to set up their homes in Jiangnan.
Of course, this area was still somewhat lucky, since they were discovered by the main city.
Many of the industrial parks and industrial towns were still lost in the depths of the fog.
The authorities had once sent a large group of expeditionary forces to search for them, but since the space folds had caused a large change in the terrain, many of the small towns and satellite cities were not in their original positions.
Besides, the interference from the fog was very great. Visibility was low, and the explorers were also attacked by monsters. Their progress was very slow.
Even so, “fortifying the Jiangnan Region, connecting the satellite cities, and searching for the lost towns” was still the strategy Dragon City carried out for decades. They never changed it.
Regardless of whether it was their moral principles or because they wanted to get more people and increase production capability, the Survival Committee did not give up on the satellite cities and the industrial towns which might be tormented by the monsters in the fog.
Hence, every year, the examinees took their practical test at the frontlines of Jiangnan Region.
The Survival Committee used this method to tell the examinees just where the humans’ weapons and willpower were supposed to be directed.
“It’s time to get out of the bus. If we want to cross the river, we have to switch to an armored train.”
“The Red Dragon River is so magnificent!”
“Look! There’s monsters in the river!”
The examinees got off the bus to exercise their limbs. When the wind from the river and mist blew against them, they cried out in surprise.
After they transmigrated, the terrain on Earth and the terrain in the Other World had melded together in all sorts of strange ways. Through an unknown method, the Red Dragon River managed to be connected to a river in the Other World, and it was a river with a high volume of water.
Since the volume had suddenly changed and there was a lot of mud and sand gathered at the bottom of the river, there were a few times when the Red Dragon River had spilled out.
After Dragon City transmigrated, the first disaster they faced was the Red Dragon River overflowing. Its surface area became a few kilometers wider than before, and the river water surged, drowning many citizens.
After the flood, a pandemic raged among the people, and it led to the appearance of a zombie hoard.
After decades of management and the stabilization of space, humans managed to conquer the Red Dragon River once more.
Even so, the military was still in control of several miles of the bank, and normal citizens were not allowed to readily approach it.
It was no wonder then why the examinees gasped in surprise when they saw the surging water and the waves.
The sand and minerals from the Other World flowed down, which made the river water turn slightly red, and the river lived up to its name of the Red Dragon.
While the waves surged, quite a number of aquatic monsters bared their teeth and claws.
Most of these monsters were rather weak and could not fight on land. They were usually killed by humans and turned into important sources of good protein.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of armored airships lowered themselves and threw stun grenades that were like deep water bombs into the river, blasting up water pillars that reached hundreds of meters tall.
Countless aquatic monsters were knocked unconscious. They floated to the surface of the river and were caught in a high-durability fishing net with hooks in it. All of them were caught.
But some of the aquatic monsters were not willing to be caught so easily. They jumped out of the river and tried to attack the armored airships.
But there were dozens of meters between them. Even if they managed to jump into the air, they were already at the last of their strength. They were instantly shot full of holes.
There were also superhumans who were holding the fort in the air. If some rare aquatic monsters showed up, the superhumans and the armored airships would surge forward to suppress them.
Soon, the savage and hideous aquatic monsters were dragged to the shore.
There were harvesters already waiting there. After they did some simple processing, they used mechanical hands to send them to fish processing factories.
After going through the magnificent processes in the production line, the aggressive monsters would end up as meat stuffed in cans.
The luncheon meat cans were made from leftovers of aquatic monsters along with the meat of gigantified earthworms and various food additives.
The blood of the examinees began to burn with fervor.
“Earthlings are indeed the most fearsome creatures in the entire galaxy. Wherever we go, we will eat everything in our wake!”
“Monsters? To these poor creatures, we might be the ones who are monsters.”
“We will definitely obtain the final victory in this war of survival!”
Dozens of school buses were parked at one of the military bases at Jiangnan.
The soldiers sized up the examinees who got out of the bus with curious and envious gazes.
Some of the old soldiers who looked as if they had just returned from the frontlines based on their scruffy beards and tattered clothes grinned and greeted the children. They reminded them to bring a few more diapers when they went through their practical test later so that they did not end up peeing their pants.
“Whirr! Whirr!”
The armored train had a crystal engine installed in it, which let out a shriek. Gas surged into the air. Smoke surrounded the area, and the black cannons in the carriages looked incredibly mighty.
Thousands of examinees got into the armored train and headed to the main Jiangnan area through the iron bridge.
As of then, the surface area of the Red Dragon River was twice as wide as when it was on Earth. Every day, the currents flower fiercely and waves crashed at the banks, sending stones into the sand. It looked incredibly magnificent.
However, no matter how fierce the river was, it was conquered by humans.
After decades of construction, twelve Dragon River Bridges were built on the river, which was so wide that the other side could not be seen. Five more were being built at the moment, and they looked like swords that could pierce a city. They were symbols of Earthlings conquering the Other World.
It was the first time many examinees rode on the armored train to cross the Red Dragon River. When they saw the raging waves and the fierce monsters being trampled under their feet, they could not help but cheer.
Among them, Chu Feixiong cheered the loudest.
The examinees taking part in the practical test for universities were distributed among dozens of different exam areas. The two best friends were pretty lucky and were put in the same area. They ran into each other coincidentally in the armored train and were ecstatic.
Chu Feixiong’s results in the written test were pretty decent. He scored 812 marks, and he was ranked among the ten thousands in the city.
To quote him, “I have always been average when it comes to written work, but even so, I managed to rank among the ten thousands. As long as I can bring out the shocking Super Reckless Bull Force during the practical test and my overall score reaches the top five thousand, I’ll have hope to get into military school and even the heroic spirit course!”
He was not lying. Over the last month, Meng Chao had provided guidance to a lot of citizens, but he naturally paid the most attention to his best friend.
But the guy was a little bullheaded. He just practiced Reckless Bull Technique all the time, and the more he practiced, the more high-spirited he became.
It was not some unfathomable ultimate divine art, so after practicing it for around a month, and since he was born with monstrous strength, he might actually truly be able to create a miracle.
At that moment, the screen at the top of each carriage lit up.
The noisy carriages immediately fell silent. Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong stood on their tiptoes to look.
The screen showed the introduction to the four great fighting occupations.
Each of them represented the ace courses of the famous universities with the highest minimum passing scores.
The first to appear was a young military officer in a camouflage uniform. He appeared to be in his twenties.
He stood as straight as a javelin, and he stood in front of a collapsed fortress.
“The Other World is a place where the mind’s interference on matter is far greater than it was on Earth. Here, our spirits and will are no longer illusions. There’s a possibility to make them existences that can be seen with the naked eye,” said the heroic military officer.
“The human brain is constantly sending signals to the outside world through brain waves. After receiving great stimulation and having made a decision to refine your will until it is as strong as steel, you will release a large amount of highly concentrated brain waves.
“On Earth, these brain waves would soon disappear. They would be torn apart by Earth’s magnetic field and the sun.
“But in the Other World, the radiation from stars and the magnetic fields of the planets are slightly different.
“With the nourishment and protection from the super energy, spirit energy, the humans’ brain waves can last for a long time in the air. Even if our bodies die, our beliefs, will, and mind can turn into determination and continue existing.
“This determination is not your soul. It’s not what we claim to be ghosts or spirits either. They don’t have personalities, thoughts, or feelings. They’re just like pictures and videos, and they have loyally recorded their master’s most brilliant thoughts and their greatest wishes before their deaths.
“If their minds shine brightly enough and their wishes are strong enough, their determination will not fade away even after a long time has passed. In fact, they can absorb spirit energy and continue growing. They can also attract others with similar determination and gather together to turn into heroic spirits!”
