Chapter 139 The battlefield is a zombie apocalypse city.
When Long You and his team were making these tracked soul-guided armored vehicles, they first created two large forging soul-guided machines. Then, they directly put rare metals into the forging press and pressed them into rare metal plates. Finally, they assembled these rare metal plates into the shape of a square vehicle body.
It could be said that the defensive capabilities of these crudely made tracked soul-guided armored vehicles relied entirely on the hardness of the rare metal itself. Long You, Lin Zhengze, and Cai Tou simply didn't have time to inscribe any defensive runes or arrays onto these rare metal plates.
Okay, let's get back to the main topic. The strongest combat force of the Soul Guidance Department students right now is these crudely made tracked Soul Guidance Armored Vehicles. If the academy sets up terrain in the combat space that is very unfavorable to the movement and deployment of tracked Soul Guidance Armored Vehicles, then the Soul Guidance Department may be at a loss.
Of course, there was some good news at this operational meeting. At least everyone brought all the soul tools they wanted into the combat space, and no planned equipment was locked out.
"What we're worried about now is a completely mountainous terrain with no large flat area. In that case, our tracked armored vehicles won't be able to form a dense square formation, which might allow the Martial Soul system to take advantage of the situation."
Our equipment is incomplete, especially our trigger-based soul-guided defensive shields; we can't guarantee we won't be caught off guard by a surprise attack.
"There's no other way to deal with this except by being more vigilant ourselves. However, I personally estimate that the extremely unfavorable terrain for us is unlikely to occur."
Even if there are leaders in the Martial Soul Department spying, don't you think our Soul Guidance Department is the same? We can understand the imbalance in numbers and the need for restrictions, but if it's truly a complete targeting, I'm afraid even Dean Qian and Dean Xian wouldn't agree to it.”
“That makes sense. Let’s put aside extreme cases for now and focus on figuring out the division of labor among individuals after the system goes live.”
Considering that we still had classes the next morning, we didn't stay in the Panlong classroom the whole time. Instead, we used video conferencing to listen to and share our thoughts while washing up, showering, and getting ready to rest.
On Monday afternoon, He Caitou arrived at Long You's private soul guidance laboratory. "Let's go, the academy is still in a hurry."
"The fight starts this afternoon?"
"Yes."
"Wait a moment, let me explain."
Bai Muyang, you brat, come here right now.
Although it was growing bigger every day, Long You's authority still held considerable sway over the little white jade fire crystal tiger, Bai Muyang. Hearing Long You call its name, even though it was a little reluctant to leave the metal ball it was playing with, little Muyang still obediently ran from the back of the laboratory (the soul tool testing area) to Long You's side.
"Hey Little Twilight, Elder Gong told me you've already learned what rules are. So this time, I won't send you to the Beast Fighting Zone."
Before I returned, you were the only living being in this Soul Guidance Laboratory. As long as you can prevent anything in this laboratory from being damaged, you can stay here by yourself next time something happens to me, without having to go to the Beast Fighting Area.
"How about it? Can you do it?"
Although Xiao Muyang is only a ten-year-old soul beast, it is a rare mental-type soul beast and often receives mental communication from Long You and others, so its intelligence has reached the level of a ten-year-old child.
Children of this age can already stay home alone. Although they may inevitably get into trouble and get punished, with a few lessons, they can mature quickly.
Similarly, Long You used the same mindset when teaching Bai Muyang. Although young soul beasts are obviously more unruly than human children, as long as they can communicate, they can definitely be taught well.
This time, leaving Bai Muyang alone in the Soul Guidance Laboratory was actually an experiment by Long You. If Bai Muyang could fulfill Long You's requirement of not breaking anything, then in the future, Long You would give Bai Muyang more autonomy. It might even be allowed to roam freely within the academy grounds, like Bei Bei's Big White.
Faced with Long You's request, Bai Muyang nodded in agreement without hesitation. It never wanted to go to the Beast Fighting Area again. Although it had never been to the Beast Pen, spirit-type soul beasts possessed keen perception. Just approaching the Beast Fighting Area, Bai Muyang could sense the pent-up resentment.
Perhaps Little Twilight can't yet understand what those resentments represent? Or perhaps Little Twilight, who has adapted well to human society, will never understand what those resentments represent. But this doesn't stop Little Twilight from feeling extremely uncomfortable when she senses those resentments.
After explaining things to Xiao Muyang, Long You tidied up his soul guidance laboratory again, putting away all the valuable and easily damaged items, before following He Caitou up to the Panlong Classroom on the second floor.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, were waiting for everyone at the entrance of the Panlong Classroom.
Long You and He Caitou arrived rather late, so in less than five minutes, all the Soul Guidance Department students who could participate in the battle between the two departments had arrived.
"Classmates, what is this battle about? I'm sure you've all had your guesses. I can tell you with certainty that your guesses are correct."
I know that the Martial Soul Department has set up many difficulties for you, but I also know that our Soul Guidance Department has a higher chance of winning this battle.
Because I know how many plans you have made, I believe the final victory will be as obvious as our number of survivors a month from now.
On behalf of the entire Soul Guidance Department, I, Qian Duoduo, declare: You have won! Each of you will receive a Soul Forging Knife, and we will personally take action.
[Tsk tsk tsk, more motivational talk and promises, how much does Dean Qian really want to win? But since he said our chances of winning are higher, does that mean Dean Qian is confident that extreme terrain won't occur?]
I'm really looking forward to seeing how those Spirit Masters react when they see our array of Spirit-guided armored vehicles!
After logging in and experiencing a familiar sense of disorientation, Long You and other Soul Guidance Department students found themselves on the outskirts of a city.
What kind of city was it? Most Soul Guidance Department students would describe it as advanced, bizarre, but dilapidated. However, when Long You saw the city, he only felt familiarity and speechlessness.
The city that appeared before everyone was a modern, technologically advanced metropolis, as it looked after the zombie apocalypse.
