Chapter 18 Misfortune
"Hey, get out of the way!" Suddenly, there was a shout behind him. Luo Han's family quickly flashed to the roadside. A donkey cart came slowly. The donkey was very old, dragging a three-meter-square wheel plate. The man who drove along with the donkey, kept shouting to drive away the crowd and beating the donkey's buttocks with a whip, while sitting on the one-wheeled tray The two people turned out to be Wang Guanwang and Wang Xiaohu's father and son.
After the disaster, the number of animals decreased sharply, but some of them were finally retained. Animals with more tenacious vitality such as donkeys returned to the post of transportation. Although the donkey cart is simple, it is an extremely rare luxury in the outer city. Only a few outside city managers are eligible to ride. Of course, District Chief Wang is one of them.
"Hey, genius, cherish your last day." After seeing Luo Han, Wang Guanwang laughed and threw down a sentence. His son Wang Xiaohu also smiled. Obviously, it was a very pleasant thing to see the fall of a genius stronger than himself.
"Cold..."
Luo Tiannan looked at his son worriedly. I really don't know if he can play a normal level after experiencing so many things.
"Mom and Dad, I'm fine. How can those jumping clowns affect me? I'm determined to take the big exam, and there will never be any problems!" Luo Han smiled relaxedly and said, "You can send it here. There is a company that organizes inland city tours at the gate. Dad should be very familiar with it. Go quickly and meet at the gate of the college in six days."
"...Okay, son, relax and take the exam, even if it's okay." Luo Tian hesitated for a moment, but he knew that he could not help his son, so he could only give him a little relaxed encouragement.
"Son, you are the pride of your mother."
"Brother, come on, give them something awesome!"
Luo Han smiled. His younger brother Luo Bing was so naughty that he didn't forget to say some puns even if he said goodbye. Is this awesome for the examiner, or for the black bear hooligans, or both?
After breaking up with his family, Luo Han went straight to a huge square in front of the gate, where hundreds of seats had been placed, like a majestic array of seats.
"Candidates in slums are not allowed to take the exam in the inner city!" This is a pedantic order, probably put forward by some stubborn people who control the education system, so they have to set up an open-air examination room outside the four gates of the inner city every year. However, although it is an open-air examination, the supervision is still quite strict. Every 30 candidates are assigned an invigilator. There are a large number of military and police guards around the examination room, and some power masters are hidden in the dark to deal with certain emergencies.
Luo Han saw many people surrounded the invigilators in white. They should be submitting bribes in exchange for a better position. Wang Xiaohu and his father were also among them. Wang Guanwang made heavy cloth bags in his hand, which obviously paid a lot of money for his son's big examination.
Wang Xiaohu's eyes swept over and happened to look at Luo Han. Looking at Luo Han, who came to the edge of the examination room alone, Wang Xiaohu's eyes immediately flashed with a trace of pride.
Luo Han was too lazy to pay attention to him, and his eyes naturally looked elsewhere. This indifferent free and easy made Wang Xiaohu's pride have nowhere to vent, and he couldn't help but look a little more angry.
Luo Han's attention was attracted by the movement in the north of the examination room. A fully armed military guard was lining up there. The team was about 500 people. The soldiers were wearing clear blue and green uniforms. They put the submachine guns diagonally on their chest and stood straight and quietly. Listening to the officer's lecture, the white breath condensed a faint fog above the team.
"... is to protect the examination room. If there is anyone, any monster seems to destroy the examination room, you must stop them. Remember, even if you pay the cost of your life, because among the candidates behind you, there are likely to be the pillars of the country and the hope of mankind. You saved them today, maybe Tomorrow they can save your parents, your brother, your wife, your children, and of course you, who are too old to gnaw bones, understand?"
"I understand!" The soldiers' answers were loud and neat, and the sound was shocking.
The noisy crowd in front of the gate was disturbed by the shout and was quiet for a moment, but soon became lively again. As the sun gradually rose, more and more people were waiting to verify their eligibility to enter the city, and the gate became more and more congested.
"Save people to ask for help. If everyone can have this idea and save people, this is a good character to maintain national survival, but why are there still city-states that are constantly swallowed up? Can these soldiers who only operate hot weapons really resist those horrible infiltrating creatures?" Luo Han withdrew his eyes from the army and silently thought about the future of mankind in this end of the world.
Suddenly, the corners of his eyes jumped and looked at the exit under the gate. An old man in a white examiner's uniform came out of the city. Luo Han was stunned.
"What a strong spiritual fluctuation..."
In Luo Han's eyes, the thin and tall old man is simply a collection of spiritual power, and the spiritual strength emitted by his body is at least three times that of the unicorn ape.
"Is this the legendary immortalist?" Luo Han was shocked and stared at the old man.
Although through the bustling crowd, the old man obviously felt Luo Han's gaze. He twisted his head and swept back his eyes coldly, just looking at Luo Han.
"What a strong sense!"
Luo Han was shocked, but his reaction was very fast. When he saw the old man looking over, he smiled at the other party and nodded, which was a sloppy eye for his impolite gaze.
The old man was also stunned when he saw Luo Han's behavior. Just now, he was looked at by this boy for a long time, and he was angry and rude, so he had used some tricks when he stared over. Ordinary people had to sit on the ground with soft feet when he stared at him, but Luo Han seemed to be fine and smiled.
"Is he a immortalist? No, there is no spiritual fluctuation. He may be a teenager with an extremely firm mind, so he is not affected by 'shocking staring'."
The old man looked at Luo Han for a long time and was a little surprised, but today, as the chief examiner of the East Examination room, he had too many things to do, so he didn't care too much. He shook his head and walked to the examination room.
Seeing the old man appear, a trace of anger appeared on the faces of the other examiners, but they did not dare to neglect him. They straightened up and got rid of the gift-giving crowd around them.
Several young examiners began to clean up the crowd around the examination room. Candidates can stay, but their families have to leave. Although there are only about 300 candidates, there are thousands of family members accompanying the examination.
For good, many smart hawkers have long waited outside the city gate with portable stools to sell to the families of those candidates at the price of a copper plate and a stool.
People from the slums don't have spare money to buy stools. Most people casually find a stone and sit down. Some experienced family members have their own small stools and sit leisurely.
Only more than 20 people bought high-priced stools in the hands of hawkers. These people are all privileged classes in the slums. District Chief Wang Guanwang was among them. He bought a "sky-high" chair worth ten copper coins. Although the copper coins are worthless in the inner city, there are only particularly good homes for people in the slums. It is possible to save ten copper coins in a year, so this chair is called sky-high price, which is not too much at all.
After Wang Guanwang sat down, the assistant he brought immediately gave him a small stool and feet, and then removed a thick quilt from the donkey car and covered him to protect him from the cold. Wang Guanwang's fat face was red, leaned against the back of the chair and happily looked at the candidates in the field.
There are several holes in the face of Wang Guanwang's quilt, and this small piece of paper is faintly sandwiched in the dirty cotton wool under one of the holes...
