Pre-death assessment

Inside the fighter jet, Liu Ruyan reverted to her human form, then scanned the interior of the jet with her gaze.

This level of technology in fighter jets has completely surpassed that of any country in the world, hasn't it?

The third level of the pre-death assessment space actually contains such armed equipment?

"Hello, are you new to the third level of the pre-death assessment space?"

Just then, several people walked up to us.

The leader was a woman who looked very formal and had a very upright posture.

"Um……"

Liu Ruyan nodded: "You guys..."

"I am Karina, the commander of Independent Tactical Squadron No. 7 of Xuanwu City!"

The female captain reached out her hand.

"My name is Liu Ruyan."

Liu Ruyan also extended her hand.

Although she herself is a mature and sophisticated woman, in front of this female commander, she felt like a clueless little girl.

The female commander's earnest and genuine leadership qualities far surpassed her.

Karina smiled and said, "Come here first, let me treat your injuries."

Liu Ruyan nodded obediently and followed her to the medical area.

This fighter jet is not only technologically advanced, but also enormous and fully equipped.

Sitting in the chair, while the medical staff examined her injuries, Liu Ruyan even wondered if she had traveled through time.

Is this really a space for the final assessment before death?

What about that sense of apocalypse? What about that sense of cruelty? What about that sense of crisis?

Why is it that I can't feel anything here at all?

Karina and her companions all looked so normal, not like desperate criminals living in dire straits.

"Um... I'd like to ask, is this the third level of the pre-death assessment space?"

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, this is the third level of the pre-death assessment space!"

Karina smiled and replied, "But unlike the two above, we have a complete civilization here, far more advanced than the present world."

"We have established a safe haven here, where everyone can live safely forever."

"So when you reach the third level, don't be afraid, don't worry!"

"Many people who came from above have settled here, some even started families, got married, and had children."

"This is a whole new world, a new world where you can live forever."

Hearing these words, Liu Ruyan was somewhat surprised.

Didn't Ling Wu say that the further down you go, the more brutal the assessment becomes?

Why doesn't this third level seem like what he described?

"Oh, right, I have some companions who will probably be teleported down soon," Liu Ruyan quickly added.

If they were to encounter those massive beast hordes as soon as they teleported in, they wouldn't be able to handle them with their abilities.

"It's alright, our people patrol around the clock, and they will rescue anyone who comes in as soon as possible."

Karina smiled and said, "We have four cities here, and each city has multiple independent tactical formations, specializing in search and rescue and combat outside the city."

"If you are teleported to the third level, the teleportation time will be different, and the teleportation location will also be slightly different."

"So there's no use in worrying. Just trust our search and rescue team."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded gently.

Hopefully, Li Qingxue and her team will be able to encounter rescue personnel as soon as they arrive here.

"Those things just now..."

Liu Ruyan then asked, "What are all these things? Is this steel world filled with these steel beasts?"

"Yes, there will be such herds of beasts no matter where in this world."

Karina replied, "Besides our four cities, the outside world is full of steel beasts; it's extremely dangerous."

"These ferocious beasts... could they be hunters? Hunters that are even more advanced than high-level hunters?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

Each one was so huge, and they were made of that special moonstone metal.

Their combat power should indeed be stronger than that of advanced hunters, right?

"Not a hunter."

Karina laughed and said, "Except for their bodies being made of steel, they are just like wild beasts in every other way."

"It doesn't have the Hunter's agile combat capabilities, nor does it have the Hunter's weapon systems, detection systems, etc."

In other words, apart from their different appearances, those steel behemoths are just like the wild beasts in the real world in terms of their habits.

The same applies to the brain, of course.

Liu Ruyan nodded gently.

If those wild beasts were to hunt down ability users like predators, then many ability users would likely have no chance of resistance.

Just then, as they were talking, the group arrived at their destination.

Xuanwu City!

This is a city made entirely of steel, and its overall shape resembles a giant black tortoise.

Looking down from the fighter jet, Liu Ruyan was filled with shock.

The enormous white steel basalt lay prostrate in the middle of this steel world.

Its sheer size is beyond imagination.

Because it contains an entire city.

"My God."

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "How was this colossal behemoth built?"

Those gigantic steel beasts, hundreds of meters tall, were already awe-inspiring enough.

And now, the steel Xuanwu in front of her... is thousands of times larger than those!

This is a true all-steel fortress!

The fighter jet formation approached Xuanwu, and then a small window opened on Xuanwu's massive steel body.

The entire fighter jet formation flew in.

Karina then took Liu Ruyan off the plane.

Stepping out of the cabin, an extremely futuristic steel world appeared in Liu Ruyan's sight.

Inside this enormous Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise-like creature) is indeed an entire city.

The skyscrapers in the city are all made of white steel.

Among those skyscrapers, there are all sorts of flying machines.

Traffic was orderly.

The city also has farms and livestock farms.

There are also bustling shopping malls...

Looking up, the enormous tortoise shell holographically projects the sky, automatically simulating the outside sky and climate 24 hours a day.

Liu Ruyan felt as if she had stepped into a futuristic sci-fi world.

And... there are so many people in this city.

It's like a perfectly normal city, with people everywhere.

Men and women of all ages.

Is this third level of the pre-death assessment space really that futuristic?

The population of this city far exceeds the total population of the second layer.

However... thinking about it, it's understandable.

After all, Karina had already said that once she came here, she could live here forever.

So naturally, people will settle down here and multiply.

And so, gradually, this lively and civilized scene came into being.

Moreover, this enormous steel basalt is so massive and so indestructible.

It is indeed very safe to live here.

Even if those steel beasts outside were to unleash a horde of attacks at any time, they would never be able to break through the ridiculously thick defense of this steel Xuanwu.

Karina walked to Liu Ruyan's side.

Then he chuckled softly: "Welcome to the pre-death assessment space... the third level!"

Liu Ruyan was completely speechless at this moment.

She was simply stunned!

If this third realm is indeed a technologically advanced and civilized world, many people would choose to live here forever.

Then they multiplied and lived here, continuing their lineage.

Even... living in such a world would be easier and happier than living in the present world.

"Come on, I'll take you to register and then arrange accommodation for you."

Karina then waved.

Liu Ruyan quickly followed and then asked, "Is this third level of assessment space called Cyber ​​Space?"

If each assessment level had a different name.

The second layer is the space of regret, so this third layer... judging from this, it is indeed the cyberspace.

"That's what many people say," Karina said with a smile.

Then he led Liu Ruyan to the registration office.

After completing the registration, she gave Liu Ruyan a special bracelet.

The bracelet has a string of numbers on it: 6348789

"This...does that mean I'm the 6348789th person registered here?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the bracelet, somewhat surprised: "This city has over six million people?"

"Whether you're a newcomer or a newborn, you need to register. The number indicates your registration number."

Karina said with a smile, "But that doesn't mean the whole city has that many people. Our Xuanwu City only has a little over a million people, more than six million... that's the total number of people since its establishment."

After all, living here would naturally involve birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Currently, the total living population in the four cities is approximately one million.

"Your number will be your ID card from now on."

Karina continued, "Your residence is also marked on your wristband."

Liu Ruyan glanced at it and saw that there was indeed another string of numbers on the bracelet: Q-86-15-1568.

"Building 86, 15th Floor, Room 1568, Q Zone!"

Karina explained, "Xuanwu City is divided into 26 districts based on the 26 letters of the English alphabet. You're in district Q. Come on, I'll show you around."

The two arrived at the so-called Q area.

The entire Q area is, of course, very large, and also has all the necessary facilities.

It has everything: commercial streets, entertainment districts, hospitals, and schools.

The two quickly arrived at Building 86 and then went to the residence corresponding to Liu Ruyan's number.

The bracelet was the key. Karina told Liu Ruyan to bring the bracelet close to the door lock and then open it.

A spacious, sci-fi-style villa came into view.

"In addition to serving as your home key, the wristband also functions as your car key."

Karina brought out a box: "The car is in the garage. Please obey traffic rules when driving."

"Also, here is a guide to the rules of Xuanwu City. Take a look at it yourself and be sure to follow the rules."

"Also, this is the start-up capital for newcomers. You'll have to rely on yourself to survive here from now on."

As she spoke, she opened the box, inside which was a rulebook and some special... gold coins.

The gold coin is made of a purplish-red metal and is roughly the size of a one-yuan coin.

"This is... that special metal?" Liu Ruyan picked up a coin.

In this third level of the pre-death assessment space, is this material the currency for trading?

"Yes, this is a universal material from the third level of the pre-death assessment space, and it is also currency."

Karina smiled and nodded: "As for purchasing power, you'll find out when you go out for a walk later."

Liu Ruyan nodded, then picked up the rules and regulations guide and looked at it.

There are some clear rules here; you can't fight or kill people casually, just like in the real world.

"Alright, congratulations on your successful check-in."

Karina then smiled and said, "From now on, you'll be on your own. If there's anything you don't understand, you can find the answers in the rules and regulations."

Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded. This third level of the pre-death assessment space is quite interesting.

They were provided with accommodation, a car, a house, and start-up capital as soon as they arrived.

"Oh, right!"

Just then, she suddenly realized something.

Then, putting down the guide, he looked up at Karina and asked, "What is the third level of the pre-death assessment space? What are the requirements for passing it?"

He made such a clear plan for himself that he almost forgot his roots.

I have no intention of staying here long-term; I'm going to fight my way through the Ninefold Assessment Space with Ling Wu.

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Karina's expression suddenly turned serious.

Seeing Karina's reaction, Liu Ruyan's eyes narrowed slightly.

She suddenly felt that something was wrong, very wrong!
