Chapter 272

Chapter 272

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw that KID and several mechas were digging a sewer, KID did not come out to fight in the melee battlefield where it was easy to score points. Instead, he stayed down there to create a pollutant.

The underground pipelines are complex, and high-intensity bombardment will cause large-scale changes to the original building structure. Especially when encountering pollutants that are good at controlling machinery, the degree of destruction will be aggravated and it will become difficult to deal with in the end.

[For a pollutant...]

【Can’t they just finish the fight first and then go? 】

[I feel bad for their scores.] 】

The commentator was about to say a few words when the weapons expert next to him spoke first: "It may not be that KID is unwilling to come up to fight, but they can't get out in a short time. The environmental terrain damaged by this pollutant when it was alive was quite serious. Even after its death, it is still blocking KID from leaving the underground."

"How do you explain this?" the commentator asked curiously.

The underground pipelines were complicated to begin with, and when KID was bombing them, he thought that they were close enough to the surface and the location was fine. But who knew that this purple poison grass would go crazy before dying and mess up the mechanical structures around it... This purple poison grass died in a very bad location, and it would have been fine if it had been stuck in the mechanical ruins, but the key point was that it was stuck right in front of KID, blocking KID's way out.

If KID wanted to leave the underground, he could either blast a path out with guns or clear the rubble and exit from the drainage outlet in front.

The audience in the live broadcast room had no idea at first, until the experts drew up a force diagram, and then they realized how big a fuss KID had made by killing a pollutant underground.

"With the current structure, the underground force is not evenly distributed, so using guns and artillery weapons can easily backfire." The weapons expert pulled out the plan. Seeing this complex 3D scan of the underground, he felt overwhelmed. "How did their guns and artillery produce such a result? The destructive power is really amazing. The only reason they were not buried by the mechanical ruins is thanks to the quick response of their tanks and medical staff. It's really a miracle."

It's fine if they do this on the surface, but how dare they do this underground?

[Sometimes I really can’t tell whether they are lucky or unlucky. 】

[Bad luck, we encountered pollutants.] I was lucky that I wasn't buried despite the bombardment. 】

The commentator understood from the expert's explanation: "That means, if KID doesn't solve the problem of the ruins, they still can't get out of the ground?"

"From the current perspective, there are two relatively quick ways. One is to go around and open a path, leaving this complex stress area, so that you can get out without being buried by machinery. However, this is quite time-consuming. The pipelines underneath this area have basically changed due to their destruction. They cannot use artillery weapons to destroy the surrounding situation for the time being. If we use the honest method to do it, it may be very difficult."

The weapons expert said: "The most convenient way is to dispose of the polluted body and exit through the nearest passage near the polluted body."

[I am dying of laughter. It turns out that it’s not that they don’t want to come out.] 】

What if they can’t dig it out? 】

[In the worst case scenario, we'll have to wait until the game is over and the people from the Asta Administration go dig it up, right? 】

[…Then KID may become the first team in history to bring about its own destruction. 】

Before the pollutants appeared, KID had an absolute advantage and tactical arrangement. They were so close to the enemy's guns and cannons. If they handled the melee well, they might even accumulate a huge advantage and widen the score gap in advance.

"It can only be said that plans cannot keep up with changes."

The commentator explained: "If they don't go through the sewers, they won't have any advantage and won't encounter the purple poison grass."

If they hadn't encountered the purple poison grass, they wouldn't have had to change their strategy to kill the pollutants first and then fight.

All I can say is that from the moment KID chose to go down the sewer, everything seemed doomed.

In the live broadcast room, KID is still digging a new path.

Lu Xi checked the collapsed machinery around him and said, "We can't bomb this place anymore. If we bomb it again, we might not be able to escape."

Ying Chenlin glanced at the building structure next to him and said, "It's true that we can't bomb it."

Huo Yan asked: "Can the pipeline location we previously planned to reserve be used?"

Ying Chenlin was silent for a moment, glanced at You Su outside the mecha group, and replied honestly: "It was also destroyed."

You Su: “…”

Before dealing with the purple poison grass, they explored the terrain and the location of the pipelines nearby. Ying Chenlin did a simple force analysis and even chose a location close to the drainage outlet to facilitate returning to the ground after killing the creature. However, plans could not keep up with changes and they underestimated the destructive power of their teammates, resulting in the death of the pollutant, but in such a difficult-to-clean-up area. They had to change their plans and get the pollutant out of the ruins first.

After Huo Yan failed in his seventh attempt to pull the body of the purple poisonous grass out of the abandoned machinery, he sighed blankly: "For the time being, there is no other way. Can we try to cut it on the spot?"

Lin Yao is not good at thinking, but he is the best at work: "I'll cut it. I'll do this."

"Then what should I do!?" Ji Qingfeng ran almost a whole circle in the streets of the Mechanical City with other teams. His teammates were killing pollutants underground, so he had no chance to participate. He could only act as a reconnaissance tool and report the situation of other teams at any time. This job was not easy. Not only could he not be discovered by other teams, but he also had to keep a close eye on the surrounding situation at all times. Under his watch, he had already seen off the Ningbing team and the two front-line members of Jiazi. If he continued to watch, Zuoy would wipe out Jiazi. "If you don't come up, we may not even get a drop of oil soup."

You Su: "So much to say? Are you coming down to dig?"

Ji Qingfeng shut up.

Theo was also excluded. It was not his turn to work. He could only stare at the owner of the machine. This matter could not be blamed on them. "The buildings here are too shabby. We didn't bomb them too hard. How can we be blamed for the collapse?"

You Su didn't say anything.

Theo felt more and more that he was right. He could only watch helplessly as the coordinates of the mechas of other teams gradually moved away. "Why don't we change positions and open up a new path?"

It is best not to use any artillery weapons, and the task of digging the road can only be left to Huo Yan and Lin Yao.

Fortunately, Lin Yao's gravity gun is convenient for prying things, and with the help of Huo Yan, the speed of clearing obstacles is very fast.

"You Su, please step back, you are blocking the way here." Huo Yan said.

You Su said nothing and stepped back consciously.

Ying Chenlin couldn't help but glance at You Su. Before Huo Yan could speak, he stepped back several meters and squatted somewhere nearby.

Huo Yan saw Ying Chenlin's actions and said, "Then you two should stand back and find a place to rest."

Ying Chenlin knew that he could not help, so when he retreated to the back, he happened to bump into You Su who was watching.

Neither of them spoke. In order to give Lin Yao and Huo Yan enough space to move around, they could only stand at the edge and try not to affect others in digging the road.

You Su saw the mecha next to him standing on the edge of the abandoned pipe and retreated a little further inside, "Come here."

Ying Chenlin paused for a moment, looked at the area beside his feet, and said after making a judgment: "I can squat here enough."

You Su vacated the seat next to him. Ying Chenlin hesitated for a moment, then moved to the side of his seat and squatted more steadily.

Theo was still muttering in the cockpit. You Su's eyes stopped on the floating field of view screen. He saw a certain mecha move to the side. He didn't say anything, but when Ying Chenlin's mecha was half a meter away from the position he had reserved, his right fingers on the armrest of the driver's seat tapped twice unconsciously.

You Su didn't say anything, but Ying Chenlin spoke.

"The purple poison grass is a variable. It controls machinery that is uncontrollable. The actual structural changes of the building are faster than our analysis." Ying Chenlin thought about it and explained, "There is no problem with your bombardment."

It was Ying Chenlin's idea to force the purple poison grass into a narrow space and bombard it, but he was not thoughtful enough.

You Su looked sideways, listening to the analysis of the person next to him, and waited until he finished before asking, "Did I bombard it well?"

Ying Chenlin hesitated: "...a small environment can be more stable."

You Su: "It's already happened, why think so much about it?"

Ying Chenlin squatted down obediently and said, "Then I won't consider it."

The ice on the feet of the mecha melted, and Ying Chenlin began to slide down. When he was about to adjust to the side, the mecha next to him reached out and pulled him to the side. When he was brought closer, Ying Chenlin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, he whispered, "You can hold back your mental strength."

You Su paused for a moment and withdrew the spiritual power from the side of his arm: "Like this?"

Ying Chenlin felt as if there was no change, so he could only say, "Better."

"You don't seem to be exerting much mental power. The output threshold is lower than the average. Is there something wrong with the metal nerves?" After hearing Ying Chenlin's words, Theo started the self-checking program, but after checking for a long time, he couldn't find what was wrong.

You Su observed the person next to him through the view screen in the cockpit.

Ying Chenlin's attention was focused on the arm that was pressed together between him and You Su.

The opponent's arm was out of power, but he felt as if there was still some mental power around it.

You Suo collected his spiritual power, but the person next to him did not collect his spiritual power and reminded him, "I haven't lost my empathy."

Ying Chenlin realized something and unconsciously pulled his hand aside. The mecha retreated and stepped on the melted ice again.

You Suxian laughed in anger and reached out to grab the man: "I didn't ask you to hide."

Ying Chenlin stopped moving, "I didn't hide."

Huo Yan and Lin Yao were at the separation point. They turned around and saw the two mechas were quite far apart.

He just asked people to retreat a little, but this time they retreated too far.

In the picture, the gunnery mecha squatting on the mechanical ruins that were melting the ice pulled the medical mecha back to the ruins and squatted again. The audience who were watching the scene were speechless. Could KID return to the ground in this state? ? The eighth day was almost over, and Zuoy was chasing Jiazi almost out of the neighborhood.

[Why are sink and trace squatting together again?] 】

What else can we do if we don’t squat together? The place is so small. 】

[Is the sink asleep? I saw trace fish him out twice. 】Ψ

[Don’t you think it’s good?] How many times did they stick together in this game? 】

[Back upstairs, they posted as soon as they took a break (recorded)]

[Can you please stop caring about so much? When can KID be dug out? ? Even if they are not in a hurry, I am anxious for them. 】

"Brother Lin, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Gu Xiaotian looked at the situation on the screen. He had watched Ying Chenlin compete before, and he had never seen Ying Chenlin miss a step during his rest period. "The intensity of the Star Domain Tournament is much higher than before. Can he adapt?"

Before Shen Xingtang entered the maintenance area, he specifically asked Jiang Simiao to observe Ying Chenlin's situation. Ying Chenlin's contrasting behavior also caught his attention. Jiang Simiao looked down at the data tablet in his hand, which strictly calculated Ying Chenlin's combat time and rest time. Except for the high-intensity battle with Jiazi in the second half, Ying Chenlin had not engaged in any high-consumption battles during this period.

The more he looked, the tighter Jiang Simiao's brows furrowed. "Strange, the rest time is enough, this shouldn't be right..."

The live broadcast room was still discussing sink and trace. There was no other topic in KID's live broadcast room. The audience could only calculate when KID could dig a road to the ground.

Hu Luobu and Chi Liz paid attention to the game of Ji Feng for a while, and they could not help but switch back to see how capable KID and his group of troublemakers were. They did not pay much attention to KID when he was resting before, but this group of people were quietly doing big things, such as installing cruise ships and digging sewers... They were a little uncomfortable seeing them doing it honestly this time.

"This group of people were so quiet and didn't do anything wrong." Hu Luobu said.

Chi Liz watched the comments in the live broadcast room with great interest: "It seems that there is no evil, and there is no discussion in the comments."

Hu Luobu came closer: "What does the barrage say?"

As soon as he got closer, he saw that the comments were intensively discussing how many times trace had sunk. He couldn't help but say, "Trace is too overbearing. He even controls his teammates' rest."

Chi Liz looked at Hu Luobu in surprise and asked in confusion: "No one cared. It was Sink who took the initiative to go there."

Hu Luobu: “?”

"And they seem to have a couple of fans." Chi Liz barely found one comment out of 20, pointed to the one that said 'Trace dotes on Sink so much, he takes care of him during breaks', and said, "KID's old fans said that they seem to have a good relationship, and they spend their break time together."

He is the most popular anchor on Shuguangxing. He is used to this kind of comments. Seeing Hu Luobu's distorted expression, he said, "You can just watch it casually. There are some fans of the Mecha Master CP, but not many. Sink and Trace have a good relationship. Fans like to exaggerate something when they see it."

Hu Luobu: "I was wondering how it's possible. Last time we were on a Star Alliance mission, I saw Trace tugging at Sink's collar in the corridor and leading him into the room. Sink couldn't even touch the ground."

Chi Liz shifted his attention away from the barrage and looked at Hu Luobu hesitantly.

Hu Luobu said mysteriously: "Also, earlier, when we went to Kolya, Lao Zhao and I saw Trace forcefully pressing Sink on a chair. We accidentally saw it, and Trace glared at us."

Chi Liz opened her mouth slightly and reached out to take the snacks from Wen Yi's desk.

Hu Luobu whispered again: "Also, when KID's shopping was trending on the Internet, trace didn't push the shopping cart himself, but let sink push it all."

Chi Liz started to read the comments in KID's live broadcast room.

Hu Luobu continued: "Trace also forced Sink to wear brother clothes with him, isn't this overbearing???"

Chi Liz recalled that before the Star Domain Tournament began, the two of them seemed to be wearing the same clothes.

They both spoke at the same time.

Hu Luobu: "How can the two of them have a good relationship? Sink will definitely not be willing."

Chi Liz: "Fans say

It may not be an exaggeration. ”

He said seriously, "They are real."

Hu Luobu: "Ah? Isn't this considered bullying?"

Chi Liz seemed to have heard some big news, and asked in confusion: "Do you guys in the YDS team actively approach and bully others?"

"What bullying? There is no bullying in our team." Hu Luobu made two spitting sounds and met Chi Liz's curious eyes. He carefully recalled his words and the pictures he had seen before, and then looked at the two mechas lined up in the picture. "Fuck... something seems to be wrong."

Hu Luobu and Chi Lizi were talking together, and Wen Yi, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but take a look.

Colin asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, they are watching from Kid's perspective." Wen Yi looked at Qi Sicheng in the picture and commented: "Captain Qi is very brave."

In the arena, the only ones left were the gunner mecha and the medical mecha. The medical mecha had a speed enhancer, so it was not easy for the zuoy team to catch them. They chased them out of the block, but couldn't catch them after a long time. Finally, they had to give up the pursuit and chose to rest on the spot.

Just when the battle on this side of the block ended, Jifeng, who had been fighting with the remaining remnants of the team, did not act recklessly when facing SPH. Instead, he killed two SPH mechas in a stable siege and continued attack, and won two points again, tying the score with zuoy, which was in third place. They used tactics to increase the combat time, thereby achieving a certain number of output, narrowing the gap between themselves and zuoy.

The commentator in the live broadcast room said: "Now SPH only has one mecha left. This Stealth is so good at escaping that it's normal that Gale couldn't catch up."

"Jifeng is also very smart. Their commander should have guessed that Zuoy was in a melee, so he didn't forcefully eliminate the SPH mecha. Instead, he used the output time to increase the output generated by the battle time." The commentator said: "This Shuguang team... is different from KID. Jifeng is not participating in the Star Domain Tournament for the first time. Compared with KID, they have more experience. So far in the Star Domain Tournament, this team has been very stable and very good at calculating."

Although the Star Domain Competition is ranked based on mecha points, if two teams are tied, the two teams will be ranked in order after statistical analysis of combat data such as output and damage sustained in the battle. Jifeng is risking the SPH mecha's escape to improve his combat data in order to narrow the gap with the tied team.

【KID is too eccentric. Compared to them, Jifeng has been making steady progress. 】

When KID came out of the underground passage, only the slightly haggard KID was left hiding on the battlefield.

In the end, they could only reluctantly chop the purple poison grass into eight pieces. Considering the stress on the building, there was still a small amount of residue that was not collected. Before leaving, Lin Yao kept looking into the pit. If they hadn't had to play the game, they might have still been calculating how to get the remaining residue out.

Zuoy had already run away, and there was no sign of other mechas on the messy street.

Huo Yan said: "We can only look for it. Let's search around the moat."

Several KID mechas followed the direction that Ji Qingfeng saw zuoy retreating, but after chasing for a long time, they wasted energy and didn't find the opponent.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Lu Xi asked.

Ji Qingfeng: "My eyes are sharp. I saw that they were running in this direction, that's right."

Huo Yan and Ying Chenlin got together to discuss and think about the next tactical arrangements.

Ying Chenlin looked at the data on the score sheet, and seeing Ji Feng's ranking and the increasingly tight score, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Huo Yan asked: "What's wrong?"

“We may encounter worse situations.”

Ying Chenlin suddenly said: "It is very likely that we will fight against SHIELD."

The competition is on the tenth day, with less than five days left until the end.

Excluding Raikage and Ningbing who were all eliminated, Jiazi has two mechas left and SPH has one mecha left. These two teams basically can't make any waves. The top four in the remaining star field are likely to be among SHIELD, KID, Zuoy and Gale. The most important thing is that the scores of these four teams are very close, and there is a high possibility that the rankings will change in the remaining situations.

[Under the current situation, it is unlikely to find a remnant team to collect kills. 】

【jiazi and SPH will definitely not give away kills. They hide, and other teams may not be able to find them even if they want to. 】

[KID really has both good and bad luck.] 】

[They are too jumpy and not steady at all. If they didn't go into the sewer, they could still get some points in the melee. 】

"There are five days left. The mechas of the top four teams will be consumed. The remaining teams only have a few mechas, which are not enough for the top four." The commentator analyzed the situation rationally, "The safest way for SHIELD and Kid to improve their rankings should be to play against the remaining two teams. Zuoy will not take the risk of playing against SHIELD and KID. Swift Wind should be the popular team that the three teams want to play against next."

As the game progressed, the teams became more cautious in their actions.

On the eleventh day of the competition, Ji Feng and Zuoy, who were tied in scores, met each other, and the mechas of both sides clashed in the inner city of the mechanical city. Operation zuoy chose the factory area in the inner city of the Mechanical City, which was far away from the moat and had few sewer openings around it. Coincidentally, Jifeng also chose a similar route, which led to a fight between the two teams in the inner city.

The terrain of this area is relatively open, and there are many red light areas swept by cruisers. Generally speaking, other teams will not choose this area. As a result, when the two sides fight here, SHIELD and KID are thousands of miles away from them, and they cannot even collide at this distance.

[I never expected that these two teams would collide in this place. 】

[zuoy This choice...Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. 】

[The strong wind comes from the dawn.] 】

Narration: "..."

That's probably understandable.

[Something's wrong. If they go in the direction of SHIELD, they will run into KID! ? 】

Inside the arena, the SHIELD was flying around and also looking for an opponent.

The collapsed buildings above the mechanical city formed a ruin, and the tilted machines collided with each other, forming an exaggerated waste. Several black mechas were suspended nearby. The SHIELD mecha technicians couldn't help but look sideways when they saw this. The entire block was basically ruined. Even though they had experienced many battles, the SHIELD mecha technicians had rarely seen such destructive power.

"Is this the location of the previous melee?" asked the SHIELD mecha master.

Wu Qingshuang's eyes moved away from the messy surface and followed the direction of the damaged sewer and the moat. He seemed to have determined something, "Pay attention to the direction of the moat, avoid the river bank, conduct covert reconnaissance, and other mechas fly sideways."

When the live broadcast room noticed the movements of SHIELD, they found that their walking route was subtly consistent with Kid.

With zuoy and Jifeng's deliberate avoidance, the chances of the top four teams meeting each other were greatly reduced, and the remaining teams quickly avoided the black mecha when they detected any trace of it. As the unshakable number one for many years, no team will take the initiative to find SHIELD, which means that it will be more difficult for SHIELD to score points in the later stages of the Star Domain Competition every year.

"SHIELD is flying very fast." The commentator noticed the problem, "KID is slowing down and cruising. If this continues, SHIELD will find KID first. Look at where SHIELD is hiding."

The black stealth mecha was moving quickly between the buildings. Its speed was very fast, almost three times faster than other mechas. It moved silently along the moat. When the audience saw the SHIELD Stealth moving forward, their hearts were lifted and they locked onto the SHIELD Stealth's feet.

The weapon box of a normal mecha is installed in the hands, while the weapon box of the Aegis Stealth is installed in the feet.

It flies as light as the wind. It is one of the weapons of the Aegis stealth mecha master. It has a curved blade design at the bottom and sharp blades on the toes. When flying, it has extraordinary mobility compared to stealth mechas. When attacking, this weapon will become a sharp blade with an extremely fast attack speed.

Betty, the hidden mecha master of SHIELD.

A mecha master with strong body control and reconnaissance awareness.

When the two teams' movement speeds are inconsistent and their routes are extremely close, Betty can quickly rely on the traces left by the mecha's movement to quickly detect the opponent's suspicious movement route.

"We are in trouble." Jiang Simiao saw this scene, "SHIELD went separately. We might be able to find them with multiple mechas, but it would be difficult for us to find them with only Betty."

When the official live broadcast room locked on SHIELD, the audience in KID's live broadcast room followed SHIELD's hidden perspective and couldn't help but become nervous.

Just after the red light area of ​​the high-altitude cruise ship disappeared, SHIELD appeared silently 2 kilometers behind KID.

"Captain Wu, KID has been spotted," Betty reported.

Farther away, Wu Qingshuang raised her eyes slightly: "Got it."

"Betty will provide intelligence to the SHIELD mecha division." The commentators have seen SHIELD's stealth tactics, and the priority reconnaissance situation will allow SHIELD to obtain more intelligence than KID.

When the audience saw SHIELD getting closer and closer and thought that SHIELD would come quickly and directly encircle KID, they saw that the remaining few SHIELD mechas flew in other directions and did not go to the encirclement point. ∫

[What's going on?] 】

[Doesn’t the rear-position shield have an absolute advantage? 】

[Team Ukraine didn’t take the initiative to attack KID? 】

"It's not that we won't attack, it's that we're choosing the right time."

A commentator who knows SHIELD very well suddenly said, "SHIELD has initiated attacks many times, but rarely has it not resorted to siege warfare. The last time I saw SHIELD use such a tactic was in the previous two Star Alliance tournaments, when SHIELD took the initiative to attack the second star domain dominant team, PJT."

And now, when actively attacking KID.

SHIELD has made the most tactical preparations.

The author has something to say:

My mind was a little unclear yesterday, I will fix the typos and sentences in the previous chapter later (covering my face)

Migraine is an old problem that occurs once or twice a month and used to go away quickly.

I didn’t pay much attention to it this time, but I didn’t expect the pain to last for more than a week.

I slept for a long time today. Thank you all for your concern.

I have been focusing on rest these days and I am feeling much better now.

I should be able to start writing extra chapters for everyone tomorrow. I won’t stay up late (QAQ that’s terrible). You can supervise me!

Good night, see you tomorrow~
