Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Perhaps it is a relic of the era of space wandering...
This breath of oxygen came just in time. Xu Biao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He held the mask tightly and took a deep breath subconsciously.
Tao Ying pinched the oxygen tube and reminded him, "Take a small breath and breathe slowly."
Xu Biao realized that taking a deep breath suddenly would make his body more uncomfortable. He gradually calmed his breathing and his body did not feel as uncomfortable as before.
Tao Ying lazily counted down in front of the computer.
"2 minutes and 50 seconds... 2 minutes and 59 seconds, OK."
Tao Ying counted to three minutes and saw that Xu Biao had almost recovered, so she simply removed the oxygen mask.
After a period of tossing and turning, Xu Biao survived the ordeal. He dared not do any more strenuous exercise and just sat there obediently, holding the oxygen tank and taking a breath from time to time.
Tao Ying still has important things to do.
She clung to the metal shell with both hands, pressed her body against the mecha, and slid down the cockpit like liquid, using her hands and feet to climb down the Dawn T4.
With a thud, Tao Ying stepped firmly on the ground.
"Where are you going?" Xu Biao asked, leaning his head down.
Tao Ying threw a flashlight to Xu Biao and raised the toolbox in his hand to signal him.
"Repair the communication module and help me with the lighting."
"Can you fix this?" Xu Biao looked unconvinced, but still reluctantly pressed the power button of the flashlight.
Carbon dioxide accumulates in the lower part, making the air heavier and harder to breathe.
Tao Ying carried a toolbox in one hand and an oxygen tank in the other, and slowly walked around to the back of Shuguang T4.
She had dismantled the communication module and placed it in this location in advance, and she found it quickly.
The toolbox fell to the ground with a clang, and the sound waves continued to echo in the relatively closed cave.
The echo was somewhat unnatural, like the humming of ancient creatures.
A white light flashed inexplicably in Tao Ying's mind, as if something passed through her consciousness. When she came to her senses, she was already squatting on the ground.
He rubbed his hands across the ground and felt a regular pattern.
Tao Ying paused, stood up and took a step back. Xu Biao's flashlight just happened to hit the pattern, illuminating a row of words.
This is the text of Blue Star.
Tao Ying didn't have much knowledge of the Blue Star language, and could only barely translate four words - she is here.
The lines on these four characters are particularly deep, and it seems that the person who carved them put in a lot of effort.
But why are the words from Blue Star in the cracks of the snow-capped mountains?
Who is “she”?
She always felt cold, as if something was watching her.
Tao Ying looked up into the depths of the cave, but there was only deep darkness. Tao Ying could not find anything there. Her pupils contracted and she suddenly felt dizzy.
If it were the Spark Science program team, this segment could probably be shown for another three episodes.
However, Tao Ying's scientific conclusion was that she was suffering from lack of oxygen.
After taking two breaths of oxygen and looking up again, the feeling of being cold all over my body had indeed disappeared.
Tao Ying asked Xu Biao to take a look at the rock wall. There were more Blue Star characters engraved there.
The text contains dates, probably some records.
Xu Biao's scalp tingled as he looked at it, and he asked curiously, "What is that?"
"When humans first arrived on Chester, they probably explored this mountain range. It can be considered a relic. Remember to report it later."
Tao Ying was not interested and she was not very interested in the past.
What we need to do now is more important.
She didn't stop, but quickly picked up the communication module on the ground, quickly connected the line, and climbed back to the cockpit tremblingly.
After a long period of silence, Xu Biao asked, "Hey, how's the communication going?"
Several large electronic characters were displayed on the cockpit door.
"Repair in progress, please do not disturb."
…
Tao Ying in the cockpit finally successfully connected to the communication.
The avatars of her two teammates danced across the screen, all asking about her health. Tao Ying briefly explained that she was safe and there was no need to worry, then turned the conversation back to the game.
"What's our team's score right now? The net is too stuck in the cracks, so I can't see the real-time score."
Lin Biege was puzzled: "Shouldn't you report your position first? Why are you only thinking about winning at this time?"
"I've called for help."
Lin Biege said righteously, "No, I'm still worried. Dear Captain, where are you? I'll come and save you."
Why did this person always change the subject and not answer her questions about the standings?
After a moment, Tao Ying suddenly realized something and said firmly, "Could it be that after two hours, your score is still zero?"
Lin Biege stopped talking, it seemed that he had guessed it right.
The network was finally connected, and Tao Ying took a look at the standings of the competition.
Ranked first is the Alzeta Military Academy with 189 points. The scores of the following teams are also very close, all around 150 points, with a difference of no more than 30 points.
"Space Ghost Team, points 2, ranked last."
The difference to the second-to-last place is... 48 points.
Tao Ying said kindly, "There's a lot of room for improvement, my two teammates."
"Ahem," Lin Biege tugged at his collar, trying to save face, "We were so anxious that we couldn't contact you just now, so we kept running back and forth in the snowy mountains just to find you, and forgot we were still competing."
"At least our team's score wasn't zero, but two," Nan Gua said forcefully, "It should have been Mr. Big who got it!"
Lin Biege was confused: "Really? Did I get any points?" How could she not remember that?
Tao Ying held her forehead with her hand: "Those two points were mine."
Nan Gua and Lin Biege tactically drank water.
How come the only two points were taken by the weakest captain!
"It's okay, Captain. Once you take command, we will definitely turn the tide."
Lin Biege clenched his fist, obviously very confident in Tao Ying's ability.
Tao Ying shook her head. "I'm afraid it'll be difficult. According to the stadium's safety regulations, I'll be forced to suspend my competition after the rescue and be sent to the medical cabin. By the time the medical cabin completes its inspection process, the game will be over."
Going to the medical bay means pausing the game and not being able to contact teammates.
Of course there is no way to command.
After Tao Ying finished her explanation, the two teammates were silent for a while.
The top ten in the first round of the auditions can advance to the next round. Judging from the current standings, they need 150 points to have a chance of advancing.
There are not many mechas that can threaten Nan Gua and Lin Biege, but it is still difficult to gain a large number of points in a short period of time.
Nan Gua said dejectedly, "Are we really going to be eliminated in the auditions?"
Tao Ying touched her teammate's head across the screen and said, "Not really. I'll think of a plan in advance, but winning might not be that exciting."
"Winning is enough. Besides, if I get excited, I will probably be in trouble again. It's better not to have this excitement. So what do you have in mind?" Lin Biege's eyes lit up.
Tao Ying's lips curled slightly. "There's still half an hour left before the end of the competition. If each of you gets 100 points, we can pass the first round of the auditions."
Lin Biege choked: "Are you sick?"
More than two hours into the competition, the first place only scored 189 points.
Letting them overtake the first place within half an hour, isn't that exciting enough?
That's so exciting.
Lin Biege said expressionlessly, "Why don't you just order the two of us to rule the galaxy?"
"Considering your political literacy, the feasibility of ruling the interstellar space is relatively low." Tao Ying spread his hands.
Lin Biege chuckled twice: "Then I guess your political literacy must be very high?"
Tao Ying nodded happily: "You're welcome."
"I'm not praising you. So, you really want to rule the galaxy? Which side do you support?"
Which faction? Tao Ying touched his chin.
There are two main political factions in the Reval Empire, but this is obviously not what Lin Biege is asking about.
Sure enough, the next second Lin Biege felt hungrier and hungrier, muttering to himself, "I really want to eat pie."
Nan Gua raised his hand: "I am an artistic person."
Tao Ying continued, "I'm a catnip person. All kidding aside, share your dashboards so I can check out the situation on the field."
Soon, the situation on the field was broadcast over.
The mechas of the two teammates were both on the east side of the snowfield. Because of the previous avalanche, most of the mechas gathered in this relatively safe area.
After a quick count, there are 39 Dawn T4s, 18 Fool MK2s and 18 VEGAs.
A total of seventy-five mechas are still competing.
Three sniper-type mechas were pulled out and targeted, but they were mainly used by Alzeta to score points and had been attacked beyond recognition.
The scores of the Alzeta Military Academy are still rising.
200, 220...
The pilots they targeted voluntarily admitted defeat and withdrew from the competition.
The withdrawal of the three Tianji Zeros means that the only ones left on the field are melee mechas.
Tao Ying's hand slid across the operation panel.
After thinking for a moment, she opened the background of the mecha system.
"Activate the backup plan."
"You have a backup plan?" Lin Biege said with a hint of disbelief and anticipation, "Can we really win?"
Tao Ying flicked her teammate's forehead at the screen.
“Who plays to lose?”
…
There was a roar overhead.
Lin Biege looked up and saw a small rescue ship with a nurse cat logo painted on it flying over their heads.
The rescue ship hovered over a snowy mountain. After confirming that the surrounding ground conditions were safe, a group of staff came to the location near the fissure and began to discuss the rescue plan.
Five minutes later, they ended their discussion and began the rescue.
"Recovering the mecha will be done after the competition. For now, we'll prioritize using the rescue rope to pull the two players up and transport them to the medical bay to verify their condition."
“Got it!” “Got it!”
The two rescuers were fully armed and descended at a constant speed with the rescue rope hanging on them.
Based on the information provided by the contestants, they quickly descended to the designated height.
At the bottom of the rift, a Tianji Zero with only the cockpit left and a tattered Shuguang T4 appeared in front of the rescuers.
The two mechas were in a terrible condition. It was obvious that they had experienced a fierce battle before falling.
The rescuers wondered, "Did the auditions have to be this intense?" They shook their heads in disbelief and began the rescue.
Xu Biao sat on the ground, holding an oxygen tank in his hand, and waved at them in good spirits.
The two rescuers discussed it and decided to let contestant with physique F go up first.
But Tao Ying's refusal voice came from Shuguang T4: "Let him go up first."
She has a wave of critical data that has not yet been transmitted.
Xu Biao knocked on the hatch while holding the oxygen tank. "Hey, stop showing off. For the sake of the oxygen tank, I'll let you go up first."
Is this guy addicted to staying in such a dark place?
Tao Ying humbly said, "You go first."
"You first."
After the two of them pushed and refused each other for a while, Tao Ying restrained her smile and said, "Are you going to come up or not? If not, return the oxygen tank to me."
Xu Biao: “…”
Aren't you being humble? Why does it sound like a threat?
Finally, under the guidance of the rescuers, Xu Biao tied a safety rope and was pulled up.
His body was damaged and lost its combat capability, so the team gave up on recovering him.
Radio broadcast:
[Alzeta Military Academy's number one competitor, Xu Biao, interrupted his competition and entered the medical cabin.]
Everyone was surprised to find that the first person to come up was Xu Biao, but after a moment, they understood.
The rescuer shook his head and said, "Hey, classmate F, whose physical condition is so poor, actually gave his oxygen tank to his opponent. He should also be humble when rescuing people."
"Good, great good!"
"In comparison...tsk tsk," the rescuer glanced at Xu Biao, "The Alzeta Military Academy is indeed a gangster."
Xu Biao was baffled. "No, it was the one with Physique F who offered to give it to me. Why is she glaring at me? She even threatened me and slapped me!"
Xu Biao kept explaining, but found that no one believed what he said. To be honest, he himself was a little bit unconvinced. How could a student with a mere F constitution suppress him?
He began to doubt his life.
Ten minutes later, Tao Ying was forcibly tied to a rescue rope. She held onto the cockpit door and pleaded with the rescuers with a sincere look on her face: "I want to say a few last words to my teammates."
Her tone sounded like she was about to say her last words.
The two rescuers looked at each other, unable to refuse despite their best efforts.
Tao Ying dragged the rescue rope back to the cockpit and spoke faster, "Lin Biege, Nan Gua, is the data verification complete? Okay, now you all stand in the center of the arena, right where the most mechas are."
"Open the compressed package, and it's up to you to do what you want from now on." Tao Ying gave a thumbs up to her two teammates, and then was dragged out peacefully by the rescuers.
On the other side, Lin Biege looked at the "Decompression" progress bar on the HUD panel, and his right eyelid twitched.
“Ding——” decompression completed.
The compressed package contains a program file.
