Chapter 174

At the same time as the pollutants appeared, several red mecha signals flashed on the edge of the radar signal.

Ying Chenlin, who was calculating, paused slightly, and when he was about to see clearly, the signals disappeared.

The locations of the flag points are all within the sea area. The Agaman starfish pollution area is divided into various areas. They are going to the central sea area of ​​Agaman, and there are several other sea areas around it. It is possible to go to the same location with other teams at the same time. The flag point is on the seabed, which makes it difficult to occupy. The more pollutants there are, the more difficult it is to occupy.

Judging from their current situation, the pollution coverage rate in this area is low, so there may be more than one team heading to the central sea area.

In the blue ocean, the tentacles that came out of the deep water tied around the waist of Ji Qingfeng's mecha. After grabbing the mecha, its other tentacles were quickly attacking Ji Qingfeng, but before they got close, they were opened by Lin Yao's space stick.

"It's a giant squid!" Ji Qingfeng asked, "What kind of pollutant?"

Ying Chenlin's peripheral vision had just moved away from the red mecha signals on the edge of the radar, and he saw information from the database, "It should be the Class A pollutant stealth squid in this sea area. This type of squid often swims in shallow and deep sea areas and will hunt creatures larger than itself."

But strangely enough, the amount of pollutants in this area is so low.

You Su's eyes fell on the water surface, "Stealth squids live in groups."

"This squid doesn't have high defenses, but it has a strong ability to catch prey on the seafloor. Ordinary pollutants may have become their prey."

When Ying Chenlin heard You Su say this, he suddenly thought of something and went to look through the database of the Stealth Squid.

The Stealth Squid did not retreat when it was besieged by two mechas. It fought with KID's two mechas for several minutes. Not only did it fail to subdue Ji Qingfeng, but it was defeated by the attacks of the two mechas.

Its tentacles could not cause any damage to the mecha, and sensing the danger, it hurriedly let go of Ji Qingfeng's mecha and prepared to escape. However, the two mechas did not give it this opportunity. When it let go of Ji Qingfeng, Ji Qingfeng instead grabbed its tentacles with his hands, and when the thrusters were turned on, he pulled it out of the water from the bottom of the sea.

Ji Qingfeng: "This kid is smart. He wants to run away when he sees us."

Lin Yao: "The squid seems to be swimming very fast, Dafeng tied it up!"

Ji Qingfeng was about to take out his weapon when he suddenly thought, "Fuck, I didn't bring my restraints with me!"

"Pollutants like squid are smarter than other pollutants. They are uncontrollable. If you want to kill them, just kill them quickly." You Suo said, "Take the knife and hit their head."

Lin Yao said regretfully: "Ah? I can't ride the squid anymore?"││

"There's nothing I can do. It has no chance of becoming a member of my family." Ji Qingfeng regretfully changed his mecha's arm-length scimitar, which was covered with a faint glow. While the squid was struggling, he thrust it into its head, spraying a large amount of water. "And this thing is too hard to kill—"

Before he could finish his words, the squid in front of him suddenly sprayed out a large amount of ink, directly dyeing the surrounding sea water black.

The ink contained a special toxin from the squid, and it quickly escaped from Ji Qingfeng's hands. Huo Yan hurried forward to subdue it, "Be careful, the squid can spray ink."

Ji Qingfeng couldn't find a way out in the sea water, so he quickly flew out, "I see, it's okay, it won't do any harm to the mecha, it's just blinding."

You Su: "But the toxin of this stealth squid is very strong. With a little use, it can be made into a poisonous pollutant weapon."

Lin Yao was surprised, "So strong?!"

Lu Xi said: "Yes, I just read the information, which said that the sea areas where the sneak squid live will be damaged to a certain extent, and many pollutants will avoid them."

Ying Chenlin noticed that the ink of this stealth squid contained extremely powerful toxins, which caused minimal damage to the mecha, but the same was not true for other pollutants. He flew down and dived to the bottom of the sea, and noticed that there were not as many pollutants on the seabed as recorded in the database. On the contrary, at a depth of 200 meters where light could reach, he found many similar stealthy squids.

At this time, Ying Chenlin, who was at the bottom of the sea, suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Ying Chenlin's searchlight swept ahead and saw a lot of pollutants swimming quickly in his direction. At a glance, he saw several squids... They had entered the habitat of the stealth squids.

Ji Qingfeng paused for a moment, "What do you mean?"

When You Su heard Ying Chenlin say this, he looked at him with some concern, "What do you want to do?"

"A lot of teams have come to the central sea area." Ying Chenlin said, "We may have to compete with others for the flag point."

Huo Yan asked: "Then shall we go directly to the flag point?"

Ying Chenlin watched the squid in the distance swimming towards him quickly, and moved his thrusters to float up quickly: "No, let's wait for others to take the flag first - we have plenty of time on the first day, so we have to make more preparations."

Lin Yao asked: "What preparations?"

At this time, Ying Chenlin rushed up suddenly, followed closely by several large tentacles: "Let's kill more squids, these squids are good stuff."

-*

In the live broadcast room outside the venue, everyone watched KID playing with the stealth squid in the sea. Other teams were avoiding pollutants, but they were killing the pollutants before leaving.

[Is A-grade squid so easy to kill? 】

[No?] ! Squid is a mollusk, and its body is also protected by fibers. 】

[Didn’t you notice that Qingf’s weapon is a little different? It seems that he is holding a machete? I remember that his usual weapon was a short blade. 】

[That knife looks very sharp.] 】

On the rostrum, the leaders of the Agaman Starfish Pollution Zone who were watching the game were very calm. They were indifferent to seeing KID killing the pollutants. The Agaman Pollution Zone had not been open for a long time, so it was a good thing for Kid to help clean up some of the pollutants.

They have to bear the consequences of their passive play. Without the flag points, they would not have survived the day.

Li Jingyan stayed in KID's live broadcast room for a while, and soon looked at the Black Crow's perspective: "Their combat rhythm is faster than last year."

The perspective in the official live broadcast room has switched to the Black Crow perspective. From the God's perspective, one can see that there are pollutants all around. The central sea area is an area with less pollutants. The target flag points that YDS and Black Crow are heading to are in two directions, but the distance between the two flag points in the central sea area is not far. When entering the middle area, the two teams met each other from a distance.

Just when the audience thought that the two teams would avoid each other, Y

DS and Black Crow, contrary to their usual practice, started fighting. Seeing this, the commentator said excitedly: "Black Crow and YDS only have five mechas each. Their hidden forces have gone to investigate other flag points alone. The main forces are fighting in the central sea area."

Outside the field, Jiang Simiao frowned slightly when he saw this. He realized that YDS and Black Crow had adopted a common strategy. "Not good. YDS and Black Crow are prepared. Their command objectives are the same."

Gu Xiaotian didn't understand. He was just curious why strong teams would fight each other. "What do you mean?"

"In a competition system like the roster competition, the first day of the game actually has the most time. There are many flag points and the information about the contaminated area is vague, so the speed of action of each team will not be too fast." Jiang Simiao frowned and looked at the live broadcast room, "These two teams let Yinmi occupy the single flag point, and they are responsible for testing the combat readiness information of each team. They can't fight directly. The environment of the sea is very suitable for retreat. Their goal is to obtain a lot of information on the first day."

The most taboo thing in mecha combat is the fuzzy information of the enemy mecha. When it is known that all members have replaced their combat weapons, the real opponents for the strong team are only strong teams. They will not really fight on the first day, but they will definitely find opportunities to test the opponent's background and formulate corresponding combat methods in the remaining few days.

Doctor Eric said, "And this competition doesn't seem to say that a team can't occupy multiple flag points."

Gu Xiaotian was stunned when he heard this. If a strong team occupied multiple flag points, more teams could be eliminated on the first day. "Then shouldn't we hurry up and grab the flag points?"

Jiang Simiao turned his sight from the official live broadcast room to the game from KID's perspective, and saw that the originally blue sea had turned into a sea of ​​black water, mixed with the corpses of several stealthy octopuses. Their mecha masters were cutting open their bellies to pick up materials. "I told them that if they couldn't win, they could get some money back, but I didn't tell them that they would get it back on the first day! Even if they brought that weapon, they couldn't do this."

In the live broadcast room from KID's perspective, when he saw several squids following behind Sink, all the viewers in the live broadcast room stopped, and even the amateur commentators on Starnet who were broadcasting KID's perspective stopped when they saw this scene, "What is KID doing?"

Other teams have already started looking for flag points to search for intelligence, but Kid is not satisfied with killing one stealth squid. This sink has gone into the water and lured so many of them out. Do they know that this is a competition and not a scene of harvesting pollutants from the sea?

Soon they discovered that KID's actions were not simple. They were indeed killing pollutants. Not only that, they were also going into the seabed to trick them out and kill them.

Stealth squids are unique pollutants in the Agaman pollution zone. These pollutants often lurk near the central sea area and will attack small or large pollutants. In addition, their populations are generally not too scattered. The presence of one squid means that there is a group of squids on the seabed.

Since Qiu Jin, few people have questioned KID's pollutant harvesting assembly line. Now this assembly line has become a long-range mecha such as sink going into the sea to lure monsters, while melee mechas such as qingf stay on the sea surface ready to harvest and pick up goods at any time. After determining the weaknesses of the stealth squids, their killing speed has become faster and faster since the first one.

[Even if there is enough energy in the ranking competition, you can't use it like this, right? 】

[Oh my god!] ? They even go into the sea to attract squids! ? 】

[Are these people playing passively? It's all about killing squids at the beginning. 】

At the Agaman Starfish venue, the management originally thought that KID only killed one squid, but they ended up attracting more and more squids from the seabed.

Seeing this, the staff member hesitated and said, "Chief? Are you kid planning to kill all the squids in this area?"

Director of the Administration: “…They don’t have that much free time, do they?”

At this point in time, Gale had already occupied the first flag point, and the stealth mechas of Black Crow and YDS were fighting against the pollutants at the near-point flag point. The rhythm of the entire battle seemed to have entered a new stage when Gale occupied the first flag point.

[Shit, Jifeng grabbed one and they are heading towards the central sea area.] 】

[They only left the tank mecha to guard the point, and the other mechas left. 】

[Why are you all heading towards the central sea area?] 】

From a bird's eye view, you can find seven flag points, and only five of them have mecha teams heading there.

No team went to the farthest flag point, and the nearest flag point had too many pollutants. It was originally thought that these teams would either go to the nearest flag point or go to other points, but they did not expect that the situation before the flag point was completely different from what they expected.

"The closer we get to the center of the sea, the less pollutants there will be." The commentator in the official live broadcast room saw this and analyzed the situation on the scene with the audience, "The initial jump point is on the periphery, and the positions of all teams will not be too close. There are more pollutants near the points, and we must break through these pollutants to seize the flag point. If other teams come in during the battle against the pollutants, it will be very disadvantageous."

The perspective switched to other teams, and the audience discovered that at the near-point flag point in another sea area, the Uzumaki, who was fighting against pollutants, was attacked from behind by the FQJ team, and a fight broke out between the two teams.

The closer the point, the greater the risk of being ambushed.

"It's a waste of time to fight with pollutants on the seabed. Apart from the three major teams that knew to send hidden teams, the other teams would rather go far away to find a suitable flag point." The commentator continued, "They all avoided the pollutant-dense areas, so more teams gathered in the central sea area."

The flag points on the map lit up one after another. The three major teams including the Gale had already occupied the flag points. The two flag points in the central sea area had been affected by the successive battles and had not yet been successfully occupied, but the other two flag points on the periphery were different.

Except for Scorpion King who was involved in the battle in the central sea, Kongchan and FQJ were fighting for a point, and the remaining magicians were heading for the last flag point.

-*

Four hours have passed since the start of the game, and almost all teams have entered the combat phase, except KID.

KID was at the edge of the central sea area, but there was no flag point around them, and no mecha would come to their location. Many viewers switched to KID's perspective, and as soon as they came in, they saw black water filling the entire sea area, with many corpses of stealth squids floating in it. KID's stealth mecha was ripping open these pollutants.

In the KID channel, Ying Chenlin looked at the map and saw that three points had been lit up. He marked the locations of all the other flag points. "There shouldn't be much pollutants at the two middle flag points. If we don't get them, it's likely that there was a melee. We won't go to the central sea area."

In the past four hours, Ying Chenlin has been observing the information of the flag points on the map. What is most needed on the first day is a large amount of information and adequate preparation. Strong teams will try every means to obtain intelligence on their opponents, and weak teams will try their best to occupy a point and defend it to ensure their ranking.

The speed of occupation is fast, either because a strong team is forcing the point to occupy it, or because the number of pollutants is small.

The occupation speed is slow and there are a certain amount of pollutants.

For those that are not occupied, either a single team is slow in clearing the pollutants, or multiple teams enter into a melee.

This is a marine pollution area with a pollutant coverage rate of 85%. The Mecha Team is a competitor and pollutants are obstacles to competition.

It is very simple to occupy a point quickly. Just understand the situation of the point and clear out the pollutants.

"There are two outer points. You have to choose one." Huo Yan looked at the location and asked, "Which one should we go to?"

Ying Chenlin said: "Let's take the one that is closer, so we can prepare for the greatest benefit."

There were more and more question marks in the live broadcast room off-site, and KID finally stopped after killing the twentieth stealth squid, and also collected a lot of small pollutants passing by. The people from the Administration saw that KID and his men had finally stopped attacking this area of ​​sea, and their anxious hearts were finally put at ease. Everyone outside the field saw KID's actions and discovered that their movement speed had increased, as if they were finally starting to look for the flag point.

Everyone saw KID's position change. They could see it clearly from their bird's eye view, but the mecha team on the field could not see it clearly.

Now the battle circle includes the area near the central sea. Except for the magician who is diligently killing pollutants and seizing points at the farthest point, the other mecha teams are gathered here. If KID chooses the middle, he will join the melee in the central sea area. If he chooses the side, he will have to seize points with Kongchan and FQJ who are in fierce fighting.

[Damn, they really know how to choose!] 】

[This place is difficult to deal with!] 】

[There is no way, the good spots have been taken by the three major teams. 】

The commentators also noticed the movement here. "Now we see KID finally taking action, but the flag point they chose is very unfavorable. This flag point is located in the heavily polluted area of ​​the Agaman Sea Star Pollution Zone and is classified as the heavily polluted A zone. It currently has the most pollutants of all the flag points." ╩This╩work╩by╩

The official database provided to the mecha division is limited, some information is blurred, and the pollutant coverage rate of each sea area is uniformly written as 85%.

Although it is not clear inside the field, people outside the field can follow the perspective of other teams and see the overall distribution of pollutants.

There are not many pollutants in the central sea area, but there are many pollutants in the outer circle of the central sea area, such as this one on the side of Kongchan. From all angles, you can see dense red dots. A large number of Class A and Class B pollutants are gathered. Kongchan has not broken through to occupy the flag point. It is no less difficult for KID to grab the point here than in the central sea area. There are at least two points in the central sea area being fought over, and here three teams including KID are fighting over it.

Many people outside the court were paying attention to KID. Even though they were playing badly, the strong team did not completely relax.

KID is avoiding fighting. When a strong team wants to obtain more intelligence, KID's combat strategy is to avoid fighting.

"We can't see too many details from our off-field perspective. It's obvious that KID is deliberately reducing the use of weapons."

"Ji Qingfeng's scimitar is very strange, and he has not used the restraint lock in the battle until now."

"The three long-range mechas were not used. Sink and Trace did not fire on the seabed. One of Lucy's weapons is the enhancement cannon."

"But we can see from Yao and Yan's weapons that they were equipped with in the cave in the cemetery before."

Brother Zhang's eyes fell on Jiang Simiao in the rest area next to him. What on earth does KID want to do?

Weapons storage is one thing. Now nearly five hours have passed in the first 24 hours. Once all flag points are occupied and the defense mode is entered, it will be much more difficult for them to occupy the flag.

Just when everyone was guessing what KID was going to do, KID entered the area where Kongchan and FQJ were fighting.

On the battlefield, if you are too close to the enemy, you will consume too much energy and your coordinates will be exposed on the enemy mecha's radar.

So when KID approached the flag point, all mechas reduced their energy consumption, and the hidden mecha among the six mechas suddenly broke away from the queue and dived directly into the deep sea.

[Separated!] ? 】

[There are two teams here. Won't KID be at a disadvantage if he has one less person? 】

All the KID mechas have already dived into the sea. Once they reach the bottom of the sea, they can see traces of battle everywhere. A large number of bubbles are popping up from underwater gunfire battles. The teams that can enter the ranking competition are not weak. Although KID deliberately concealed the traces of energy, Kongchan and FQJ both have mecha warriors responsible for observation. When KID entered, the two teams had already started communicating through their internal channels.

Before KID even took the initiative to attack, the two teams' guns and mechas had already fired a shot at KID's position. KID's tank mecha Huo Yan's reaction speed was faster. When the gunfire came, he immediately opened the anti-damage shield.

The shells used by the mecha's artillery weapons are all special shells. Their speed will be slowed down underwater, but their power is not so easily reduced.

The anti-shield shells counterattacked, and the battle between the three teams was about to break out. The guard mecha Yao sneaked up to Kongchan from the side first, and controlled the mecha Lucy to set up the enhanced cannon. The enhanced cannon was made by Baisuilan's ability [Quicksand]. This weapon is particularly obvious in sand or water environments. Sensing FQJ's attack, Lucy's

The enhanced cannon fired and created a small underwater vortex.

"The enhanced cannon created a vortex." The commentator said excitedly, "But Uzumaki's control mecha is equipped with ice-controlled weapons! Quick-freeze!"

Kongchan's powerful ice weapon is more effective underwater. He seemed to be aware of Lucy's operation and immediately locked onto the position of Lucy's enhanced cannon and fired a shot. He controlled the weapon to quickly freeze all the shells. He froze Lucy's enhanced cannon with one hand, and the shells did not produce a vortex explosion, but sank directly to the bottom.

The Uchiha Sentai is also a team famous for its water-based combat. Most of their weapons are water-based weapons. A large number of water-based weapons are combined with the quick-freezing control weapons that control the mechas. On the one hand, they can block the attack of enemy guns and artillery, and on the other hand, they can maximize the effectiveness of the quick-freezing weapons.

Not to mention that this underwater environment is an extremely advantageous combat environment for Kongchan.

Inside KID, Lu Xi was stunned when he saw this scene, "The quick-freeze weapon controlled by Kong Chan is more effective underwater."

At this moment, the tracking cannon of FQJ in the distance locked onto Lin Yao, and the fast-moving water tracking cannon immediately caught up with Lin Yao. Lin Yao had to open up space to resist the bombardment: "It's also difficult to fight against FQJ. Their guns and cannons are also water weapons."

The effect of the tracking gun underwater is much stronger than other firearms. The tracking will only stop when it hits the target. The movement speed of the mecha has a great impact underwater. In comparison, the hit rate of the tracking gun will be passively increased.

You Su narrowed his eyes slightly, avoiding the attack of stray bullets. "How long will it take?"

Ying Chenlin did not move. He was still observing the weapons of the two teams. "Wait a little longer."

[Both of these weapons are made of water, and everyone has made preparations against Agaman. 】

[KID's battle preparations are too limited. Yao and Yan haven't changed their weapons, while other teams have already changed their weapons. 】

【…KID is poor, and changing weapons is too expensive. 】

[Trace hasn't fired yet, this is really strange. 】

[Speaking of trace, didn’t you notice that the appearance of trace’s mecha has changed? Changed the mecha? 】

The commentator said quickly: "Kongchan's quick freezing system almost blocks long-range fast attacks underwater. FQJ's single-target attack ability is very strong. They have noticed KID now. KID can either withdraw from the flag point range or fight these two teams head-on."

[Can't you go around and steal from behind?] Is this sea so big? 】

[No, the location of the flag point is deep in the cave formed by the coral reef below, where a large amount of pollutants are gathered. 】

The difficulty of this position lies in the fact that the place where Kong Chan and FQJ are fighting is in front of the entrance of the coral reef cave flag point. If they want to launch a sneak attack from behind, they must bombard the coral reef to open a path, but this action basically exposes the direction and position, making it impossible to do a sneak attack silently. What's more, the pollutants here are not small pollutants. One or two Class A pollutants are easy to deal with, but when a large number of Class A and Class B pollutants linger at the entrance, the difficulty of entering will be greatly increased.

This is also one of the reasons why this point has not been occupied. If it was so easy to defend and capture, Kongchan would have entered the coral reef cave long ago and held on to the flag point, allowing the tanks to defend it.

"KID is now following the May 1st Squad's method of advancing. Although the method of concealed mechas going around the rear is useful, concealment can only deceive radars, not these pollutants—"

【etc? What is qingf holding? 】

[I remember that thing seemed to be a stealth squid...]

At this moment, the fast-moving KID stealth mecha Qingf took out a transparent object from his hand one second before being ambushed by pollutants. Just when everyone thought he was going to be surrounded by pollutants, he suddenly cut the object with a scimitar.

As soon as the thing was cut, a large amount of black ink suddenly flowed over a large area, and the hidden mecha carried the ink and dived directly down.

[Oh my god!] ? The ink sac of the sneaky squid! ? 】

[Is he trying to use the ink in the ink sac to conceal his figure? 】

[Isn’t this just like covering one’s ears and stealing the bell?] How could Kongchan and FQJ not have noticed! ? 】

At this time, Qingf used the ink sac to dive quickly. No pollutants attacked him. Instead, several pollutants fled from the ink. The commentator was stunned: "The pollutants did not attack Qingf. He is moving quickly and approaching the flag point!"

Outside the arena, the people watching the game were suddenly stunned. Doctor Eric's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "That is the ink sac of the stealthy squid. This ink sac contains a lot of toxins."

The fighting Kongchan and FQJ noticed something, "Wait? Where did all this ink come from?! Weapons? Or contaminants?"

Seeing this, the guns and artillery of the Uchiha Sentai said, "Leave it to me."

FQJ: "KID's hiding place is not here. They may have gone around. Be careful, they may have other means."

The two fighting teams were not easy to deal with. When they saw a large amount of ink leaking out, both sides immediately switched their guns to long-range attack guns and locked onto the spreading ink.

"Kongchan and FQJ's guns are attacking from two directions at the same time. They are long-range scatter guns and torpedo guns." The commentator said hurriedly, "Qingf can't escape from his position. He will be hit by his shells."

Seeing this, Ying Chenlin said, "Both teams have started firing their guns. Be careful."

Ji Qingfeng heard the voice and said, "So many people are messing with me!?"

Lin Yao: “Can you do it?”

"Yaobao, a man can't say no." Ji Qingfeng looked into the distance and said confidently, "Brother is a genuine stealth mecha, don't worry, I am not afraid of ten of them."

At this moment, all the audience noticed from another perspective that Ji Qingfeng put away his scimitar weapon, and then a special wristband appeared on his right hand. Artillery shells from two sides in the distance came in response, and the hidden mecha was still within the range of the two shells. The collision of the shells caused a violent underwater explosion, and a large amount of bubbles swept out.

[Oh my god, this explosion, qingf is finished!] 】

[Hidden magnetic field will be exposed!] 】

The live broadcast room switched to the radar coordinates, and the commentator said passionately: "Qingf was hit, and his coordinates are about to be exposed - no!? The radar is not exposed."

The coordinates of the hidden mecha did not appear in the radar field of view. Not only that, the hidden mecha that was originally in the ink disappeared without a trace.

The commentator was stunned: "KID's stealth mecha disappeared!?"

The author has something to say:

There will be additional updates in the evening, don’t wait!

Wake up and see! (I am still late today, 100 red envelopes are dropped in this chapter)
