World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 658 - 496 The Awakener’s Trial (Combined)

Now, this dilapidated small base presented a scene of utter desolation, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

They had thought there would be a tough battle, yet now they found that there wasn’t a single living person here.

"Be careful, there might still be monsters hiding around," Lord Bear warned in a low voice before he and Anna quietly approached.

After some probing and exploration, they finally confirmed that there were no other living creatures here, and only then did they emerge from their hiding spot to thoroughly search the base.

Although the exterior was adorned with ramshackle wooden houses, the experimental equipment inside was anything but shabby.

It was pretty much as imagined, looking upscale, but Lord Bear and Anna couldn’t tell what it was used for.

Now, however, most of the equipment was damaged, marked by the destruction left by monsters.

Claw marks and bloodstains were scattered all around, and in some places, a suspicious yellow liquid oozed out, clearly not something good.

The two of them searched the place but didn’t find anything of value.

It could also be that, as non-professionals, they simply couldn’t recognize if there was anything useful here.

"Creak~"

A door to a wooden hut opened.

It was evident that the outside of this hut had been reinforced, with Lord Bear taking some effort to open it.

There was a small sign placed in front of the door with something written on it, but it was smeared with blood and no longer legible.

Lord Bear opened the hut, but no sooner had he peeked his head inside than he immediately withdrew and hurriedly closed the door, his face filled with fear.

"What happened?"

Anna, who had just witnessed this, was full of confusion.

Seeing her coming over, Lord Bear quickly hastened a few steps to stop her.

"Don’t come over, let’s leave this place first, it’s very dangerous here!" he said, pulling Anna quickly away from the hut.

"What’s going on, Lord Bear? What did you see in there? Was there a Mutant Beast? Or a Mutant?"

Lord Bear shook his head.

"Neither... Inside, there’s a stone... a stone with red lines on it..."

...

Meanwhile, on Rebirth Island.

Compared to Ero’s early morning hours, it was already three in the afternoon here, the busiest time of the day.

Li Xiang sat on a resting chair by the training ground, fully drenched in sweat and drinking water in big gulps.

He had been here for about half a month now, and as a newcomer, he had gradually adapted to the lifestyle.

Although he could no longer spend his free time surfing the internet or playing on his phone as before, he found his new life here to be more fulfilling. He was constantly busy and even felt like there wasn’t enough time.

On weekdays, besides attending training courses with Lord Bear and Instructor Zhan, he often went to the library on the fifth underground floor to self-study the technology there.

Li Xiang was currently learning "Navigation Science," which was relatively simple among the many technologies.

However, the so-called simplicity only meant that it didn’t require too many prerequisites.

Unlike "Energy Control Science," "Ship Body Strengthening Theory," "Jump Engine Basics," and so on, which all required extensive prior knowledge of physics.

"Navigation Science" was different; it was a theory independent of conventional academic disciplines. Even someone like him, who was entirely ignorant about spacecraft, could start learning from scratch.

In the past, as a ride-hailing driver, Li Xiang had never imagined that one day he would have the opportunity to come into contact with a real space shuttle.

With that anticipation, even a former academic underachiever like him now radiated intense enthusiasm for learning and dived into the vast ocean of knowledge.

Yet, daily training was still indispensable.

Becoming a navigator aboard an organization’s spaceship was Li Xiang’s most significant wish, besides becoming an Awakener.

Now, he trained during the day and read books at night, never staying up late.

His life had become so regular that he found it hard to believe himself.

"Aaron, Bena, your injuries are healed!"

He looked up and saw the figures walking toward the training field not far away; they were the two most outstanding members of the latest group of trainees.

"Li Xiang, it’s you. We’re fine now. How have the past few days been? Has the instructor taught anything new?"

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "There hasn’t been anything new. I’ve heard that Lord Bear’s courses will be suspended for a while starting tomorrow, but Instructor Zhan’s comprehensive defense class will continue. You can go straight to his class tomorrow."

"Oh? What happened?" Aaron asked.

"It’s a mission. It seems there’s some trouble in Gaul, and the Star Lord asked Lord Bear to go over and provide support. He should be back soon."

"Alright then, we’ll head to training now, see you!" novelbuddy.cσ๓

Aaron nodded, said goodbye, and he and Bena walked toward the training field.

Li Xiang watched their retreating figures with admiration.

During the recent trial in the woods, nearly every member of the Star Alliance participated, yet only these two passed.

The preliminary written test was relatively manageable, mainly theoretical questions about Alien Species information, Combat Skills, and survival techniques in harsh environments.

However, the subsequent practical training was entirely different, turning into a nightmare for everyone.

Lord Bear had arranged their trial in a forest outside Seven-star Lake.
