Welcome to Xiuzhen Academy

Chapter 3 Escape
  The man paced anxiously, then picked up a screwdriver that had been discarded on the ground. His palm emitted a faint blue light, and the screwdriver became illuminated with a faint light.

Then he dropped the screwdriver.

"Pop!" It sounded like a balloon exploding.

One of the tentacles below was flipped over by the explosion and slid down for a while, but quickly climbed up again.

Yu Qian saw him digging through the trash on the ground again: "You..."

The man raised his head and asked, "I'm a candidate, aren't you? It shouldn't be. The direction on the map is the wastewater plant. The exam location is here. Who else would come here except the preparatory students?"

As he spoke, he threw a few more screws, this time with less force, and the tentacles only paused briefly.

Yu Qian: "You mean...the cultivation test? I did receive the voice prompt, but I didn't receive the map."

She wanted to say that there would be gangs of various factions coming here to trade, but now she was more curious about another question.

The man gave her a strange look: "Didn't you check your mailbox? The mailbox gave the exam location for the first day, including information about the school."

"As long as we pass the exam, we can enter Shangcheng District! The Cultivation Academy is in Shangcheng District!" His eyes lit up when he said this, and he asked, "You didn't come here without seeing anything, did you? Do you know how to practice qi? Do you want to build the foundations of the Foundation, the Pill, and the Yuan Ying?"

Yu Qian shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's okay. I'll send you a copy when the time comes." The man seemed to feel that he had found an organization. "My name is Qi You. I am a weapon cultivator and can refine weapons."

Yu Qian glanced down, and the tentacles underneath were climbing up persistently: "Now is not a good time to make friends."

The man also looked at it, and his eyes instantly became frightened again. He looked at Yu Qian anxiously: "I can only refine weapons! Use whatever abilities you have!"

Yu Qian raised his hand and pointed at the bleeding wound on his arm: "I'm a medical practitioner. You know how to treat it."

After the white light passed, the wound on Qi You's arm stopped bleeding and scabbed slowly.

Qi You was silent: "...then he is really dead now."

Yu Qian stretched out his head and looked down. All the tentacles underneath had come out from the gaps in the pipes. There were so many that they almost covered the entire observation tower.

They squirmed upward and had climbed more than half the distance.

Qi You was still trying to refine the garbage on the ground and find ways to slow down the tentacles from climbing up, but the explosion force of the parts he threw was getting weaker and weaker.

After a while, he was holding a nail, and the faint blue light no longer appeared in his palm: "My spiritual power seems to have been exhausted."

His expression was a little desperate: "We will also become their food! Just like other preparatory students!"

Yu Qian ignored him and opened the black suitcase he had been carrying.

In addition to ammunition and parts, there are more than a dozen micro-bombs inside.

She took out a bomb, pressed the button and dropped it,

"boom!"

After the huge sound, a large area of ​​tentacles below were exploded with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and blue juice splashed everywhere.

The power of the rubbish thrown out by Qi You was not at the same level. The ground beneath his feet even shook a few times. Yu Qian suspected that if he had thrown a few more rubbish, the watchtower might have collapsed.

Qi You stayed where he was, staring at her dumbfounded: "You...you have something good and you didn't use it earlier!"

Yu Qian threw another one down without stopping: "This is not mine, but it doesn't matter now."

She seemed to have thought of something and asked: "It's an exam after all, right? Is there no invigilator?"

Qi You shook his head: "I don't know how they will observe us, but the federal surveillance is dense. Even if the invigilator does not use the method of a cultivator, the examiner can still watch through the surveillance."

He sighed: "We are just preparatory students. We might be dead soon. Who are we qualified to contact them now? Only by passing the exam can we learn more in-depth information. When the time comes, we will enter the academy. Only then can I meet other seniors and teachers.”

Yu Qian gave him a strange look: "How do you know so much?"

Qi You's face dropped: "You don't know anything because you don't check your email, okay? I did check the email and looked up information about cultivation."

He wanted to continue, but saw a tentacle almost crawling up, and immediately screamed: "Ah——"

Yu Qian quickly threw two bombs down: "There are too many tentacles."

After the two explosions, she looked down and saw that almost all the tentacles wrapped around the observation deck were blown to pieces, leaving a large space underground.

She put all the remaining bombs into her large coat, picked up her suitcase and climbed down the ladder.

Qi You shouted: "Are you going down now to risk your life!?"

Yu Qian moved swiftly: "Why don't you stay up there and wait to die? There is so much noise here, people from the patrol department will be here soon, and I don't want to go in again."

I didn't expect these tentacles to be so long at first. I just wanted to come up and hide. Now if I don't go down, I really have to wait for death. The bombs will eventually run out.

"Again?" Qi You grasped the key point and looked down at her in disbelief, "Aren't you a student?"

She looked quite young, with her long black hair tied into a ponytail and a few of her bangs sticking up. She looked like an obedient girl who could only read.

After asking, Qi You felt that his question was stupid. Which student would carry a bomb with him?
  Yu Qian raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "I am a homeless person."

Qi You also followed her and climbed down from the observation deck.

The ground was covered with tentacle stumps, and the blue blood was bubbling on the ground like some kind of soup refined by a witch. Qi You turned his head and his face suddenly turned pale: "Look over there! How should we get out?"

There are tentacles burrowing out of the gap in the pipe not far away, crawling over here, blocking the road in front of them.

Yu Qian walked around the stump and ran toward the exit with large strides: "Blast a way out!"

She threw bombs along the way to blow up the tentacles in front of her.

The sound of explosions is endless and makes people's eardrums hurt.

Qi You's eyes lit up and he looked at the door in front of him: "Come out!"

However, he looked back, and the joy of surviving the disaster was replaced by fear: "Oh my God! They are chasing us out too!"

Yu Qian looked back and saw that the tentacles seemed to be irritated. They were much faster than before. They swam on the ground like snakes and reached the gate in the blink of an eye.

She cursed and quickly got on the car.

Qi You shouted: "Wait for me!" and then immediately jumped into her back seat.

Yu Qian stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the motorcycle sped out with a whoosh.

"Ah——" Qi You was almost thrown off, his voice was blown out by the wind and he was trembling, "Speeding will result in demerit points——"

Yu Qian laughed twice: "My driver's license has been revoked a long time ago!"

Wastewater plants were left far behind.

"Woo--" A loud whistle pierced the night sky.

Qi You's face was sore from her wind-blown ponytail: "It's over! The federal police are here!"

"It's weird that there's so much movement here!" Yu Qian turned sharply.

"Ahhhh!" Qi You screamed, "They are chasing us out too!"

The tentacles at the gate actually stretched out and were rushing towards this side. This time there was really a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

Yu Qian said: "We can only go to the sky rail!"

Qi You was horrified: "People from the lower city area are not allowed to enter the upper city area!"

"Then get out of the car and stay here to die." She said and stopped the car.

The tentacles stretched out quickly towards this side, and the sirens in the distance were getting closer and closer.

Qi You immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no! Let's go, go!"

Yu Qian stepped on the accelerator and pressed the orange button on the motorcycle.

The jet device at the bottom of the car was activated, and the locomotive took off and flew towards the aerial track.

Qi You muttered: "It's over, it's over. I'm a law-abiding citizen. I was promoted to D-class citizen just a few days ago. I will definitely be downgraded now..."

Yu Qian: "That's a good relationship. I'm at level F. I won't be demoted."

Qi You comforted himself: "It doesn't matter. As long as I pass the exam, I can go to Shangcheng District."

Yu Qian raised his eyebrows. It seems that climbing up at any time is a huge motivation for people.

The locomotive took off, and the accelerator behind it spurted out a stream of white air, speeding towards the night sky. The wastewater plant underfoot turned into a small dot, and the neon lights of the city became a microcosm in the pupils.

While rising into the sky, Yu Qian seemed to see the ground below bulge, as if something huge was about to break out of the ground.

There are cracks in the surrounding ground, and the huge monster is about to come out!
  She withdrew her gaze and drove towards the sky rail quickly.

At the entrance to the Sky Rail——

The neat and orderly vehicles were driving smoothly, and suddenly a black motorcycle sprang out, passing other vehicles on the road and speeding towards the entrance.

The little robot immediately issued a warning and stretched out its mechanical arm to stop: "You are speeding, please stop!"

Yu Qian acted as if he didn't hear anything, stepped on the accelerator, and took out the gun in his pocket with one hand.

"boom!"

The little robot was instantly beaten to pieces, and the electric current stung.

The railing in front was instantly lowered, trying to stop her.

"Sit tight!" She stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, shook her head, the motorcycle was almost touching the ground, and rushed in before the railing was lowered.

"Alarm! Alarm! There is an intruder breaking into the sky rail!" The alarm sounded instantly.

The drones patrolling above gathered over: "Please stop! Please stop!"

Yu Qian ignored them. Uptown was nice and peaceful. The drones were not offensive. The people here were used to enjoying themselves and were completely unable to react in time to the rogue behavior of poor people like her in the lower town.
