Only I can make them stronger

Out of trust in her and the tacit understanding of their long-term cooperation, Karen rushed out without thinking.

"28 meters... How far is 28 meters?" But in her panic, she couldn't estimate the distance she had run at all, and she didn't know whether to speed up or stop, for fear of going too far.

"6..."

"5..."

"Don't stop! Staying for three seconds will be considered an error! Slow down... Okay, stop, turn right!"

Jinelle tried hard to observe Karen's position and directed her actions in a hurried tone.

"3..."

"Keep going! One more big step!"

"2..."

"Is this the place?" Karen gasped with a nervous look on her face.

After running just a few dozen meters, she felt more tired than if she had run hundreds of meters in the wilderness.

"Yes...but...it seems like it's too late..." Xia Ye had a bad feeling in his heart.

He kept an eye on the countdown the whole time.

To complete the answer, you must stand on the correct answer block three seconds in advance.

But now there is only one second left.

"1!"

As if to confirm Xia Ye's premonition, as the last countdown came to an end, a terrifying wave of rational elements suddenly appeared above everyone's head.

"The calculation of the correct answer has not been completed, prepare for a high-energy attack!"

64.Is there something wrong with me?

The surrounding light beams dissipated, and everyone's vision was restored. They then saw that the sky of the entire Gear City had been reflected in golden color.

A strong sense of threat came from the air, making Xia Ye's temple throb, as if someone was pointing a bazooka at his head.

"Karen! Come back!"

A terrifying premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he roared desperately, and white flames gushed out of his body wildly.

The next second, the golden sky came crashing down, sweeping across the entire area where everyone was.

The whistling sound, golden light, and scorching heat instantly deprived everyone of their senses, making them feel like they were falling into hell.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" The severe pain was too much for Anke to bear and she screamed madly.

But a gentle barrier soon formed around her body, and at the same time, vital energy was constantly seeping inward, healing her skin that was burned by the high temperature.

"Xia Ye!!!" An Ke vaguely felt a hand holding her and moving towards a certain direction. The familiar embrace made her feel at ease.

"Release your rational elements with all your strength to resist!!!" Xia Ye didn't know whether the other party could hear him or not. He continued to approach others while roaring.

He first protected the weakest girl, Giannis, followed by Anke, and then Fiti and Karen.

The healing fire was rapidly burning his mental power, and now Xia Ye could only pray that this high-energy attack would end soon.

Soon, he found Fiti in the golden energy again and protected her in the same way.

But what about Karen?

When the attack came, she was too far away, and Xia Ye was unable to bring the people around him to look for her.

In just a few seconds, his mental strength fell below the red line and a feeling of dizziness suddenly came over him. Xia Ye felt that even his calves began to tremble, and the burning sensation of being swept by the hot wind became stronger and stronger.

The effectiveness of the healing fire is clearly weakening. If this continues, everyone will be doomed.

"Damn it... hold on a little longer!"

Xia Ye roared and squeezed out the last bit of his will, and the white flames forced their way out of his body again. The position where the four of them were was like a white reef standing tall in the golden waves.

The price he paid was that his brain began to tremble with severe pain, and his vision went completely dark.

Finally, just when Xia Ye felt that he had reached his limit and was about to faint, the bombardment of golden light finally stopped.

The sudden reduction in pressure made everyone feel like they had gone from hell to heaven.

"Alive...alive?" Fitty opened her eyes wide in fear, gasping for breath and said in disbelief.

The intensity of the attack just now made her feel like it was a full-force attack from at least a sixth-level spell-domain expert, and she had no power to resist.

What’s more, with such a large area, I’m afraid even the peak of the seventh level can’t do it... It’s hard to imagine what is hidden behind the Gear City.

"Xia Ye...Xia Ye!!!" Anke was closest to Xia Ye and was the first to notice his bad condition.

"Xia Ye, how are you? Don't scare me!"

At this time, Xia Ye's eyes were blank, his mouth was wide open, white smoke was still floating out of his mouth, and his whole body exuded a lifeless aura.

The overdraft of his mental strength had seriously affected his body. He was in great pain all over and completely unable to move, and his mind was in a mess.

"Ka...ren..." In the last bit of consciousness he had left, he was still worried about Karen who was separated from everyone else.

Upon hearing this, Jinelle suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of Karen, only to see that Karen was not far away from them, half-kneeling on the ground with a huge sword in his hand, just as motionless as Xia Ye.

"Karen! Karen, are you okay?" Jinelle shouted tremblingly, got up and rushed towards Karen.

"I... I'm okay? What... just happened?"

Hearing this, Karen raised her confused face and hugged Genelle who was coming towards her. She did not show the miserable condition of the other four people at all.

"Are you... okay?" Jinelle was a little confused when she saw this.

If Xia Ye hadn't blocked an attack of that intensity and healed her body, she wouldn't have been able to withstand it for even a second.

"Is there...something wrong with me?" Karen was even more confused.

The meaningless conversation made Jinniel want to say something more.

However, at this moment, the beam of light rose again.

This time, it was Fitty who was left out.

"The second test begins--" The cold and ruthless metallic voice sounded despairingly.

The gear city made of metal will not give them any breathing space.

The second round of test questions appeared on Jinniel's beam of light.

"The countdown starts at 15 seconds. The executor needs to go to the area where the correct answer is and stay there for more than 3 seconds..."

"198!" The canned robot was still repeating the rules, but Ginelle's computer-like brain had already given the answer to the question.

After experiencing the terrorist attack just now, Fitty heard the answer and immediately prepared to run to the area where the number 198 was as if under stress.

"Calm...quietly...use time...set...coordinates...to prevent...Karen..."

Xia Ye tried hard to endure the severe pain in his head that was about to split open, and barely uttered a few words.

After he reminded her, Ginny reacted immediately.

It is unknown how many rounds this test will last. In order to prevent Karen from being selected as the "answerer" again, the safest approach is to make full use of the 15 seconds of the countdown to set the coordinates for the neatly arranged squares.

If they fail again, no one can save them.

Thinking of this, Giannielle quickly took out a piece of compressed biscuit from her bag and threw it to Fitty.

"Keep moving while breaking up the cookies and throwing them on the ground, one in every other area!"

"Leave five seconds at the end to find the correct answer, and three seconds to confirm it!"

Although Fitty, who had never read a book since she was a child, didn't quite understand what the coordinates meant, she still understood what Jinniel wanted.

She took the biscuit and immediately rushed out, jumping between the plots of land like a flying butterfly.

"15..."

"14..."

The can robot has started the countdown.

"Karen, listen carefully, don't be dazed for now!" Taking advantage of the countdown, Giannis said to Karen hurriedly.

"I... I'm trying to listen!" Although Karen hadn't figured out what was happening, she could tell that this seemed to be a life-and-death moment.

"I asked Fiti to use compressed biscuits to set the coordinates of the plots. The one in the bottom left corner is zero, the first square on the right without a biscuit is 1, the one on the right with a biscuit is 2, and so on. The same goes for the directions above. Do you understand?"

"Yes...yes." Karen tried hard to understand what Jinniel meant.

For a muscle idiot who has not received nine years of compulsory education, the plane rectangular coordinate system is a bit beyond the scope.

"If it's your turn to step on the plots later, I'll tell you the horizontal and vertical numbers, and you just stand in the corresponding position, understand?"

"Understand……"

The junior high school classes here were still going on, and the countdown on the other side had quietly ended. Fitty also completed the task quickly and stood on the answer plot 198.

"Complete calculation of correct answer, prepare for the third test, leave the test area immediately—"

"The third test begins—"

Before the people who had escaped once could even catch their breath and celebrate, the life-threatening voice rang out for the third time.

This time the person answering the question is Karen again.

And the person who solved the problem... was Xia Ye.

65. The Heaven-Defying Element Quantity

Xia Ye realized this after vaguely hearing Fiti, Anke and Jinniel say that they didn't have the formula.

If there were uncles in the Gear City, Xia Ye really wanted to curse them, "Uncle!"

Unfortunately, he can’t even move his fingers now, and can’t make international friendly gestures.

I am almost dying, but I am still forced to do math problems.

This reminded him of the hellish experience he had during the college entrance examination in his previous life.

"Yes!"

"Fuck it... I even made it through the college entrance exam, so what's this!"

An absurd obsession arose in Xia Ye's heart, and it actually forced him to regain some clarity of mind. Some light also faintly penetrated into his dizzy and dark vision.

"15..."

"14..."

The countdown started again, and everyone realized that this time the calculation formula was with Xia Ye.

"Xia Ye! Are you still awake?" Jinniel shouted anxiously.

Their luck was really not good, as they chose the two most troublesome people.

"Xia Ye..." An Ke knelt on the ground, looking at Xia Ye with heartache.

There was no other thought in her mind, she just wanted to know how badly the other person was injured.

"11..."

"10..."

Shouts and countdowns came into his ears, and a blurry figure swayed into Xia Ye's eyes.

He squinted his eyes and adjusted his focus, and finally he could see the content of the formula clearly.

"Fuck you... Trigonometry is a breeze... Luckily I got 141 points in math on the college entrance exam..."

Thinking of this, he used up his last bit of strength and uttered the number "3" in a hoarse voice, then fell to his knees unconscious.

"3...Karen, go to the 12-7 plot!"

When Jinniel heard Xia Ye's answer, she saw that he had completely lost consciousness. She didn't care whether it was correct or not, so she could only quickly report the corresponding coordinates.

"12...7...which came first, horizontally or vertically?!"

"7..."

"6..."
