Chapter 155

Chapter 155

Before Ying Chenlin had time to read the rule book, he was stunned when he heard his teammate's voice. He subconsciously looked at the radar, only to see that the blue signals representing his teammates on the radar system were distributed everywhere, and there was no overlapping signal.

The Mecha Alliance actually disrupted the jump coordinates of all the mechas in the team battle, and now their locations are scattered.

【Disrupt and disperse?】 ? ? 】

[The coordinates of the 24 mecha divisions are all messed up! 】

[Is the round of 16 competition rule so exciting? 】

Outside the stadium, the live broadcast room and all the mecha bases watching the game stopped. They never expected that the Dawn Alliance would change the competition system to this extent. The competition system of the Dawn Galaxy has always been relatively simple. There were some changes last season, which increased the difficulty of the competition system a bit, but from the perspective of the entire competition rules, it still remains in the original competition system style of the Dawn Galaxy.

For this round of 16 qualifying tournament, the official revealed in advance that the competition rules would be changed. The various mecha bases thought that the rules were just a continuation of the previous season, but they did not expect that this change would directly change the entire rule system.

[Maze Survival: After all mechas enter the contaminated area (deep layer) of the cemetery cave, they will enter a 72-hour survival countdown. The initial jump coordinates of each mecha will be disrupted, and teams can eliminate each other. The results of this game will not be reset. When there is only one team left in the contaminated area, the game can end early. ]

[Please note: This game has added a speed racing rule. The initial teleportation location of the mecha division is deep in the science cemetery cave. There are special search points (10) set up by the Dawn Alliance in the depths of the science cemetery cave. You can get a score of 1 when you reach the search point (search point = mecha point). When all 10 search points are lit up, the team that leaves the contaminated area of ​​the science cemetery cave first can choose to end the game on the spot. ]

[Calculation of final results: mecha detection point scores (results will not be reset to zero), the top two teams at the end of the game advance.] ]

When the rules were announced in the live broadcast room, there was a commotion.

All the reactions from the outside world were also conveyed to the office of the Dawn Galaxy Mecha Alliance. Li Jingyan did not go to the competition site in the contaminated area. They adopted such competition rules after careful consideration. If the Dawn Galaxy Mecha Team wants to be competitive in the Star Domain Competition and the Star Alliance Competition, the internal galaxy league rules must be reformed.

Starting from several previous sessions, the Star Alliance Mecha Alliance Headquarters has incorporated more polluted area environments and diversified rules into the alliance. In addition to testing the combat capabilities of mecha divisions, team battle competitions actually test the mecha's coordination and cooperation capabilities, and the team's coordination and cooperation when performing complex tasks.

The combat strength of Dawn is weaker than that of other galaxies, and its response to rules is also inferior to that of other galaxies.

Many galaxies have already carried out such reforms, and the Dawn Galaxy naturally cannot fall behind.

Li Jingyan said: "This is just the beginning. If even the rules within our alliance can stump a group of mecha masters, then when it comes to the Star Alliance, we can't compare with other star systems at all."

【etc? The record is not reset? 】

[These are two rules!] 】

[All the mecha divisions were disrupted at the beginning? ? ? 】

Jiang Simiao's head ached when he saw this rule. "The Dawn Galaxy has spent a lot of money this time. No wonder they chose a polluted area like the Science Cemetery Cave. There is no way to implement such a rule in a large polluted area."

Gu Xiaotian said happily after reading the rules: "Ah? If we all separate, won't it be very beneficial to us? Brother Lin and the others are not afraid of fighting alone!"

"Not necessarily advantageous." Shen Xingtang said: "Mecha points play a certain role in this game, and another factor is the illumination points. This is a rule system with two rules running in parallel. What if other teams use a mecha to attract your attention and then strive for illumination points?"

In the Gale Base, Qi Sicheng's eyes darkened when he saw this, "This rule is not easy to play by."

Seeing this, Zhao Lejie said, "Didn't they say that they might adopt the rules of forced battle? How did it become a battle of wits?"

"Why aren't we forced to fight? The alliance has two parallel rules. There are 24 mechas in the field, and excluding our own team, there are only 18 mecha points in total, and the remaining 10 illumination points. If you want to win, you can't rely on illumination points or mecha points alone. You must have both points to win." The head coach of Jifeng said seriously: "This not only forces the mecha division to fight and score points, but also increases the strategy within the field. Although the game is said to be 72 hours, it can end early!"

-*

Inside the venue, all the mecha pilots subconsciously observed their surroundings after noticing their situation, and then began to read the rule book. ∫

The six mechas of the Black Crow Team were separated. While other mecha divisions were taking exploratory actions, the six mechas of the Black Crow did not move. Everyone waited quietly for the arrangements of the commander in the channel.

Wen Yi is the captain of the Black Crow Team and also the commander of the Black Crows.

This rule is full of strategy. The ideal highest score that can be obtained is a combat score of 18 + 10, but it has two prerequisites for ending the battle early. If you stay for 72 hours honestly, then getting combat scores is the best solution.

But once someone chooses to end the game by eliminating all mechas, or ends the game by leaving the cemetery cave after all the search points have been found, then the original optimal solution for obtaining the record will no longer be valid.

To win, you need not only good results but also good timing.

Among the multiple mechas, the black mecha stayed in the darkness. The young and elegant man sat in the cockpit and calmly scanned the rules of the game. He lit up the coordinates of the friendly mechas and marked several areas on the radar. "Medical personnel, please meet me first. The other mechas have self-protection control capabilities. Gathering will slow down our speed in finding the search point. Search in the area I have designated. Don't fight if you encounter a battle."

[BZZL1 began to converge.] 】

[The giant bear is also joining us.] 】

[The Black Crows don't seem to have reunited. They are looking for a searchlight point. 】

[What is KID doing?] 】

[They seem to be still there.] 】

The participating mecha masters did not have a God's perspective, but all the spectators outside the venue could see the coordinates of all the mechas and the searchlights scattered around them. When they noticed the actions of other mecha masters, they also noticed the orderly movements of the Black Crows. One black mecha after another was moving through the darkness, with searchlights flickering... The other three teams of mecha masters had already taken action.

However, this group of mecha masters oversimplified the situation in the Science Cemetery Cave.

KIDs, several KID mechas are crashing into the wall one after another.

The reason why the Ke Cemetery Cave is like a maze is because the underground is a complete maze!

The Science Cemetery Cave is a large maze full of caves. Radar can be used, but it is not a universal map. It can only tell you the coordinates of your teammates, but it cannot show you in multiple dimensions which level your teammates are at at the same coordinates.

This also led to many mecha operators who had originally locked the coordinates of their teammates, but repeatedly ran into obstacles in their attempts to find their teammates' coordinates.

Huo Yan's voice was steady: "Look at the radar, and gather according to the direction of the radar first."

"The alliance didn't seem to give us a specific map. No wonder it's called a maze. It's full of twists and turns, and radar doesn't work." Ji Qingfeng once again came to a fork in the road. Looking at the completely blocked road in front of him, he could only find another way out: "This place is so dark that I can't even find the road. Is there really a searchlight point?"

Ying Chenlin was also observing when the radar information reached him.

He has already started working on modeling the mecha using its internal program.

He had read the information about the Ke Cemetery Cave. This place should be the chaotic area at the bottom of the Ke Cemetery Cave. The chaotic area was famous for its complex terrain. Various strange intersections and sunken caves converged into a complex underground route. It was not an area originally provided for individual combat.

The search point must be in this chaotic area. Considering the fairness of the league, each team's initial jump position should be surrounded by

If there is a jump point, then you can basically plan out the general situation of the entire cave area based on the positions of your teammates.

Huo Yan was paying attention to the situation inside. Ji Qingfeng walked forward for a distance, but Lin Yao was standing still. "Xiao Yao, why haven't you left yet?"

Lin Yao was really trying to move forward, "Soon."

"You can leave a mark and move forward." You Su had already flown some distance away. "Leave the complex terrain first, and don't get trapped by the radar."

Lin Yao: "Isn't Radar a scam?"

Ji Qingfeng: "Do you think the maze is a bluff? It's good to have a radar in this dark maze, at least it can tell you where your teammates are."

The cave was spacious enough, and the ground was full of potholes. When the mecha stepped on the ground, the water was not even above the knees.

Moreover, the black water that has been in a polluted environment for a long time is highly polluted. When you step on it, the mecha will pop up a corresponding alarm sound.

Huo Yan looked at the speed at which his teammates were gathering. "Let's not gather yet. Just keep going along this route. Remember to mark the places you pass by. You can use energy liquid to mark them."

It is a good thing to use energy liquid as a marker, as energy reaction can be used to detect the location.

Huo Yan immediately added another instruction after he finished speaking: "Don't use too much!"

Ying Chenlin said: "When you use the energy liquid, try not to overlap at high altitudes. Send me the statistical map situation and I will build the model."

Ji Qingfeng thought that people who work in technology are different, and said, "Don't worry, we know how to use energy."

In the live broadcast room, the audience noticed that the mecha masters of the four teams all slowed down. The special maze structure did not make these mecha masters lose their composure. Everyone seemed to be using their own methods to judge the maze.

[It looks a bit difficult!] 】

[Everyone moved forward very cautiously, and the giant bear didn't even turn on the searchlight. 】

[Black Crow seems to be the fastest. Team Wen should gather with their medical staff soon. 】

In the KID rest area, Jiang Simiao couldn't help but frown when he saw this: "The Black Crows have more combat experience than other teams. Wen Yi is not as famous as Qi Sicheng and Ke Lin in the alliance. He is a very low-key person and does things cautiously. You can see that the Black Crows's advance is almost a sweeping move."

The coordination of the Black Crows in the venue was very exquisite. Their mecha divisions moved in different positions without duplication. From a bird's eye view, one could see that the six Black Crow mechas were searching in five areas at the same time. This search method was much better than the Giant Bear that used aggregation, and the BZZL1 that searched in a single area. The Black Crows may not be the first to find the searchlight point, but their efficient means make it easiest to figure out the outline of the cave.

Shen Xingtang looked at the KID in his field of vision and noticed that they were advancing by using radar and markings. "What are they wiping in their hands?"

Gu Xiaotian: "It seems to be energy liquid..."

Jiang Simiao: “……!”

Inside the field, KID and several mecha warriors advanced under Huo Yan's instructions.

After Ying Chenlin imported the entire radar system into the modeling program, he frowned slightly as he looked at the current environment.

This situation is not advantageous for them. Judging from the current distribution, there should be lone mechas from other teams around them. The maze environment is not suitable for pursuit. Gathering teammates is a good thing but also a bad thing. The good thing is that they are not afraid of being ambushed by other teams, but the bad thing is that the search speed will be slowed down.

There were no teammates around, so Ying Chenlin did not use thrusters to move quickly in the cave. The entire cave was dark and had no end. The environment on his side was not as winding as that of his teammates. It was more straight and smooth, with a fork in the road only appearing every certain distance.

He walked for a distance and looked up to see the top of the mecha, which was dozens of meters high. Special material deposits condensed above his head. In addition to these special mineral structures, there were holes one after another. Ying Chenlin started the thrusters to fly upwards. After flying to the hole, he found that there was a new road on the other side of the hole.

Seeing this situation, he roughly understood what the structure of this cave should be like.

It was a bit like a three-dimensional honeycomb maze. All the cave bends and the smooth straight roads in the underground cave together formed such a special landform. Looking up from the cave, Ying Chenlin was sure that he should be at the bottom level of the maze, while his teammates should be in the middle and upper levels of the maze.

The exit of the Science Cemetery Cave should be right above this maze. Thinking of this, he lowered the mecha and stopped at a certain place in the cave. He placed the mecha's searchlight on the stone wall of the cave. He could vaguely judge the situation at high altitude from the vibrations and subtle sounds of the cave.

There are quite a lot of mechas around here...

After reading it, Ying Chenlin locked onto the positions of his teammates. The one closest to him was Lin Yao. "Be careful, the other mecha masters should be near us."

Just as he finished speaking, he noticed that Lin Yao was still standing near his original position.

Ying Chenlin: "Lin Yao?"

Lin Yao stood in the cave, looking at the traces of energy liquid in front of him, "I seem to have come back again."

Ji Qingfeng: "Yaobao, are you directionally challenged?"

Lin Yao: "Ah? I'm not! I used to be very good at following radar!"

You Su: “…”

KID and others: "..."

Huo Yan had no choice but to say: "Chen Lin, you are close, find a way to take him."

Ying Chenlin also planned so. It would be a shame to leave a person with poor sense of direction in such a maze. He looked at Lin Yao's position and used the distance of the light to judge the situation of the top maze. When he was about to move in the direction of Lin Yao, something seemed to leap over in the darkness.

Ying Chenlin blinked and looked in that direction.

KID and his men followed Huo Yan's instructions and moved forward. After breaking through the chaotic cave area, You Su noticed the change in the signal on the radar. He paused for a moment and suddenly noticed that Ying Chenlin's signal had not moved for nearly 10 seconds. His eyes paused for a moment: "Ying Chenlin?"

"I'm here." Ying Chenlin turned off the searchlight and pressed his right hand firmly on the thruster, "Lin Yao."

Lin Yao exclaimed, "I'll be waiting for you right here."

Ying Chenlin looked at the red signals that were lit up around him and said, "I can't get through in the short term."

You Su paused and immediately looked in the direction of Ying Chenlin.

It is difficult to navigate in a dark environment, and the mecha pilot can only move forward relying on light sources. Without a searchlight, he will only run into obstacles.

At this moment, among the six live broadcast rooms representing KID, the brightness in the live broadcast room corresponding to the mecha master sink dimmed. This situation was so prominent that almost all the viewers who were paying attention to sink would immediately notice it.

[Eh? Look at the sink, why is there no light? 】

[He seemed to have turned off the searchlight?] 】

Shen Xingtang was focused on the situation in the arena. Among the multiple perspectives in the live broadcast room, he only looked at Ying Chenlin's perspective. "In Chenlin's perspective, did he turn off the searchlight?"

Jiang Simiao was still calculating KID's wasteful use of energy liquid at the beginning. He was stunned when he heard Shen Xingtang say this, "Turn it off? It will be difficult to move if the searchlight is turned off, and the smearing speed will only be slower..."

Shen Xingtang: "There seems to be something there with Shen Lin."

The strange behavior in the live broadcast room surprised everyone. But before they could guess why the sink turned off the searchlight, they noticed that something seemed to be moving in the live broadcast perspective. Suddenly, the energy light of the thruster lit up the entire live broadcast room.

All the audience saw pairs of polluted eyes crawling on the wall of the cave at some point in time. The scarlet eyes were so dense that it gave people goose bumps.

Audience: “!!!”

When the sink thrusters pushed, the bats immediately rushed towards the sink.

[Oh my god!] There are pollutants here! ? 】

[Signature pollutants in the Ke Cemetery Cave, Class B pollutants, Night Bats…]

[There are a lot of pollutants in the cave of the scientific cemetery. I remember that it was the most difficult for a single soldier to attack this polluted area. 】

[Not wait?] ! I think the end of this road is Chilids? 】

[Damn?] Are Black Crow and KID about to collide? 】

Inside the venue, all the mecha pilots trapped in the maze were moving forward cautiously. -_-!

Black Crow quickly figured out the nearby terrain, but the setting of the searchpoint facilities and the direction of the maze were not as simple as they thought, and the speed of advancement was affected.

Wen Yi marked a certain area on the radar in yellow, and said to his teammates at the bottom: "Liz, look carefully at the bottom."

Chi Liz's luck was not very good, as his position happened to be the farthest from his teammates. The good thing was that there were not many twists and turns in his position, so he quickly figured out the nearby location. It was a pity that he failed to find equipment similar to the searchlight point.

When he was about to look for other places, he suddenly noticed a buzzing sound around him and stopped immediately: "It seems like there is some movement."

Chi Liz was alert, but when he looked back, he saw the searchlight of a mecha sweeping towards him. The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes for a moment, and he subconsciously used the flying wire weapon to distance himself.

He was just about to determine which team the mecha technician belonged to, when he saw the pollutants undulating along the wall behind the glaring lights.

The mecha rushed towards him, carrying thousands of pollutants.

Chi Liz: "Wait a minute, Captain, I seem to be under attack!"

Inside the KID communication channel, when Ying Chenlin was attacked by pollutants, everyone immediately became alert. Their vision was confused by the maze, but they forgot that this scientific cemetery cave itself was a high-risk pollution area. Such a special geographical environment was most suitable for ambush attacks by pollutants.

"Are there a lot of pollutants?" You Su opened the radar signal list. His location was remote, and the pollutant signals displayed by the radar were affected by the terrain and did not show a large number.

Ying Chenlin operated the mecha to move in the maze. He gave up moving upwards and said, "More."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a light that continued to shine in the darkness. "It's not just the pollutants... there should be a mecha master here. There's nothing I can do. He's in my path and I can't avoid him."

Ji Qingfeng: "What the hell?! That means we are being attacked from both sides!"

"Need help?" Lu Xi looked at the location on the map.

Lin Yao was busy looking for a way: "I'll come find you right away."

Huo Yan noticed the direction: "This position is terrible. It's too late to send support."

A sudden pollutant attack brought the two mecha divisions of the two teams to a close encounter.

KID and Black Crow's communication channels both entered alert mode. You Su glanced at the distance between him and Ying Chenlin, and quickly jumped from one cave to another, trying to shorten the distance between the two coordinates as much as possible. "Come to my position."

When Ying Chenlin was judging the distance, he heard You Su's words. He reacted for a moment and suddenly noticed that his coordinates and You Su's were quickly overlapping. "You may not be in the same horizontal space as me."

When all the situations were changing, the sharp-eyed audience suddenly noticed the perspective of the KID gun mecha trace among the six perspectives. They saw that the sniper cannon in the hands of the red and white gun mecha had begun to charge, and the position aimed at was just diagonally below him. The 100% charged light source presented an inexplicable threat in the darkness.

[Oh my god!] ? Trace isn't trying to bomb the entire cave! 】

【? ? ? He wouldn't want to blast his way out directly! 】

[He is right in the direction of the sink! 】

The commentator was immediately nervous when he saw this: "No way? The underground maze is so complicated, what if it collapses——"

Trace's sniper cannon was fully charged, the entire mecha retreated a few steps, and the sniper cannon instantly fired in that direction.

The mecha technicians who were exploring in the venue only felt that the entire cave seemed to have a huge vibration, and they stopped involuntarily. All the viewers saw was the light from the explosion that seemed to explode beyond the screen, and the entire live broadcast angle was buzzing.

Produce vibration.

The vibration only lasted for a few seconds. When the smoke cleared, everyone saw the wall illuminated by the light, revealing smooth and translucent light brown ore. The cave did not collapse, but there were a few cracks on the wall.

Ying Chenlin noticed the vibration and asked in confusion, "Brother You?"

You Su: “…”

Inside the Ke Cemetery Cave Polluted Area Management Bureau, several leaders stood together and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

"Don't worry. Knowing KID's destructive power, how could we not be prepared?" The leader said confidently while holding a cup of hot tea, "There are special minerals underground that can slow down explosions. Even if they cause an energy explosion underground, this contaminated area will not collapse."

The author has something to say:

Administration: We won’t suffer losses again!

You Su: ...
