Chapter 148
Chapter 148
When the track of the pollution zone of Keze Floating Island entered the middle stage, the discussion about KID on Starnet reached a new peak. KID's endless tricks were already exposed in the last season, and many of KID's old fans have become accustomed to their operations.
But the new season is different. This year, KID has received more attention than in previous years.
Long before the start of the Keze Floating Island competition, discussions about KID had already built up one after another in the Starnet Knockout Discussion Area, many of which were about sinks. Sink's achievements when he was a solo player were as high as those of his fans who followed him from solo to team competitions. As more and more people focused on the competition, there were more and more discussions about Sink.
For example, topics such as #single soldier turns to attack medical#, #medical mecha division appears in the virtual battlefield#, and #sink fishing# have been changed one after another on Starnet, but the higher the expectations for him, the more difficult it is to let go of his mechanical right arm.
The photos on KID’s official Weibo account have been circulated by countless media outlets, not to mention that there are many Dawn professional individual mecha divisions present at the knockout stage.
While the 4122 live broadcast room was still going live, the discussion on Starnet had already gone through wave after wave of enthusiasm.
More fans on Starnet began to dig into KID's situation last season, and found the key words of "Kid's new repairman" from fragmentary live broadcast footage, as well as some footage of the Qiujin pollution area, restoring the ins and outs of Sink's appearance in Qiujin. As early as the previous league, KID's robotic arm repairman had already caused a small-scale discussion on the Internet.
No one doubts Sink's mecha skills, and the newly revealed repairman's abilities have surprised many netizens. A single champion mecha master, with the ability to urgently repair on-site mechas. As these things are uncovered, more and more mysteries shroud Sink.
[Sink's right arm is a robotic arm. Is it because there is something wrong with his arm that he can't fight alone, so he switched to team battles? 】
[Having said that, I seem to have noticed that Sink isn't very active in the league. 】
[It’s impossible that the robotic arm has no effect, right? Any error in the mecha will cause big problems. 】
[You are still discussing here, go watch the elimination match, KID is in danger! The second place was surrounded by other teams! 】
At the Keze contaminated area, the media's cameras could tell how many professional mecha divisions were present at the scene.
The knockout rounds have been going on for 22 days now, but the number of individual mecha divisions on the field has not decreased. While other strong teams in various tracks secured their spots in the next round, commentators and anchors on various platforms on Starnet all locked on to the contaminated area of Keze Floating Island after KID dropped to second place, and the battle inside Keze Floating Island had quietly entered a white-hot stage.
The deep forests are connected to the plains, the undulating terrain is covered with trees and grass, and there is an endless island lake in the center of the second island. Due to long-term pollution, the vegetation on the second island has grown lushly, enough to conceal the large size of the mecha.
In such terrain, all mechas are completely in the dark unless the enemy is exposed and detected by the radar system.
The joint group has a total of five teams that are not fully staffed. After 22 days of fighting, several mechas of the five teams' mecha divisions have fallen behind, and now there are only 23 mechas cooperating. The joint commander is the captain of the Marine Team, which ranks the highest in performance among the five teams. One of their mechas has a stealth mecha equipped with a stealth force field. With this special force field, it can track other teams silently and accurately identify marked mechas.
"I identified their tank mecha when we met before." The hidden mecha said, "From the current situation, they are not far from our position."
"KID probably didn't expect that we have fixed-point tracking weapons."
"I have asked other teams for information, and the ghosts will not come to this area in the short term."
"We need to defeat them one by one. We still have to be careful of KID." One of the mecha teams was a victim of the battle of the signal tower on the fourth island. "Especially their control mechas. We can't let their control mechas be with the guns and cannons. The lethality is too great. The best way is to control Lucy first."
The Marines received all the information about KID's six mechas from other mecha divisions and immediately made a decision. "Let's focus on the tank mechas. Our five teams will approach KID's position from five directions. Don't expose yourself. Wait for my order to surround him."
The audience in the live broadcast room started to get nervous when they saw the team led by the Ocean Team approaching KID's position.
[This is a bit difficult.] 】
[The Marine Team has a weapon that can inspect mechas at a fixed point, which means KID's position is completely exposed. 】
[Before, those teams couldn't deal with KID because they hadn't united. Now that they have united, KID is at a disadvantage before it even starts. 】
Everyone looked towards KID's position and found that KID's six mechas remained in place and did not move.
KID's location was exactly halfway up a mountain, so he had a slightly wider field of vision when looking out, and the size of the mecha could be hidden in the trees. When Ying Chenlin said that everyone should follow the original plan, several mechas looked in a certain direction.
"Did you really see any mecha following us?" Ji Qingfeng looked at Huo Yan.
"I can't see anyone, most likely it's a hidden mecha." Huo Yan said: "Don't worry, I have a good judgement on this point, and it has been following us for some time."
There is not much wind in the polluted area, and their current location is just right, with mountains behind them and forests in front of them.
Ying Chenlin's sight was slightly locked on the woods below. The shadows of the trees were slightly floating in the zoomed-in scope, and the slight changes in the swaying of the trees were captured in the zoomed-in scope. "There is movement in the southeast direction. Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng should go east and take the third route in the south."
As soon as he heard Ying Chenlin's words, Ji Qingfeng immediately activated the stealth magnetic field exclusive to the stealth mecha, and took Lin Yao to fly along the green route marked on the map.
You Su also raised his scope, "There are people coming from the southwest. They are very alert and should know our location."
The forest environment has both advantages and disadvantages. Mechas are generally large in size, and they are like a tree that blocks their view in the forest. If you are at a high place and zoom in on the sight, even if the opponent is very alert, they can still observe the subtle traces of movement caused by the mecha passing by the trees.
Ying Chenlin made his judgment and said, "One direction can be said to be a coincidence, but multiple directions can only mean that there is more than one mecha on the opposite side."
"The mecha that followed me at the beginning was here to check our location, right?" Huo Yan said with certainty after hearing this: "Multiple mechas are surrounding us. Judging from this, there must be at least several teams heading in our direction."
Lu Xi: "In that case, the other party has mastered our location and our intelligence, and came prepared."
Ji Qingfeng: "Coming from several directions? These guys are very smart. They even knew how to outflank us."
"Wouldn't it be easy for us to be exposed?" Lin Yao: "We don't even know who is on the other side."
Ying Chenlin glanced ahead, his peripheral vision seeing the route marked on the map, "Based on the terrain, they should be divided into four or five groups, be careful."
Ji Qingfeng had already flown some distance away from Lin Yao. Hearing this, he was suddenly stunned: "What do you mean?"
Ying Chenlin: "Unlucky, you might have to face 2v5?"
Ji Qingfeng: "2 vs. 5?"
This is why they didn't even say they wanted to fight 2 against 5 before they charged! And they don’t know what the opponent’s lineup is.
You Su noticed the hesitation in Ji Qingfeng's tone: "Can't beat him?"
Everyone else looked towards Ji Qingfeng's position.
Lin Yao responded on the spot: "I can beat them! I can fight 1 against 5!"
Ji Qingfeng: "...You haven't even started fighting yet, and you're already fighting 1 against 5!"
Ying Chenlin pulled up the battle record sheet, which listed the current battle record of the Keze Floating Island Survival Team. He could see that in addition to them and the Ghosts, there were several other teams at the top of the rankings. However, their results were not as good as the first and second teams, which could roughly tell the difference in strength. He closed the score sheet and said, "It's okay. If you can't win, you can always run away."
Lin Yao: "Running is lame."
"A real man can bend and stretch..." Before Ji Qingfeng finished speaking, he saw the guard mecha beside him rush forward two distances, "Damn, Yaobao!!!"
Huo Yan said earnestly, "Qing Feng, if you want to lie down, remember to lie close to Chen Lin."
Ji Qingfeng: “?”
Are you already paying attention to the posture when falling down before the fight even begins? !
Lin Yao asked doubtfully, “Why do you want to get close to Shen Lin?”
Ji Qingfeng: "... So that we can collect the bodies."
Lin Yao: "But isn't it the job of the Alliance Rescue Team to collect the bodies?"
Ji Qingfeng: “…”
Damn, he wanted to go back.
The other mechas of KID on the hillside saw their teammates' signals disappear on the radar. Ying Chenlin glanced in several other directions and identified several directions. "Brother Huo, how long can you hold on?"
Huo Yan heard this and said, "If five mechas go up, it will probably take at most half an hour."
When Ying Chenlin heard this, his gaze paused slightly: "Then Brother Huo stays where you are."
The people in the live broadcast room noticed KID's movements. When they learned that the Ocean Team and other teams had begun to encircle the enemy, they thought KID would choose to move out in a group. However, when they looked at KID's position, they found that all of them had dispersed. They all knew that the Marine Team's stealth mecha had marked Huo Yan's location. Seeing Huo Yan left alone there, everyone's heart instantly rose.
"KID has dispersed." The commentator hesitated after seeing this scene and said, "Yan was left alone. Did KID find out that Yan was marked?"
[KID, doesn’t he know that the Marine Team is surrounded by multiple teams? 】
[This is not like a signal tower! Do they really think that six mechas can outflank the other 23 mechas? 】
[It’s over, Huo Yan is going to die.] 】
At this stage of the knockout rounds, the combat awareness of the teams that survived is at least average. KID was surrounded by 23 mechas from multiple directions, and no one thought that KID could gain the upper hand in such an encirclement. Now seeing how KID completely dispersed, everyone was even more confused. They knew that KID liked to disperse, but with so many people surrounding him, even if he had to disperse, it would be more reliable to disperse in groups of three, right?
Live broadcast room
Netizens have high expectations for KID, but now seeing this distribution method, I always feel that KID is a bit blindly confident.
The tank with the greatest damage-bearing ability was left halfway up the mountain. The hidden tank and the guards went in one direction alone, while the rest of the tanks controlling the guns and medical personnel moved in other directions. The Marine Team is divided into five directions to encircle the enemy. With their current division, Tank Huo Yan will definitely be the first to be eliminated.
Inside the field, the mecha divisions of the five teams of the joint group have been advancing along different routes. The Marine Team is walking in the front. The commander looks at the position reported by the hidden team and notices that the position of KID's tank has not changed significantly. He can't help but become cautious. KID's fighting style on the fourth island was too impressive. He doesn't think that the opponent has come to this point by recklessness. There must be something wrong with the tank's position not changing: "They may have discovered the tank mark. Everyone else pay attention to the surrounding direction-"
"Command! Team A has spotted a mecha! It's KID's Hidden and Guardian!"
At this moment, Team A of the Joint Group met KID's Hidden Guard head-on.
It was difficult to find each other's direction in the mountains and forests, and the hidden mechas had hidden magnetic fields as cover. The people of Team A did not notice each other's traces until the two mechas sneaked in front of them.
Team A is a four-man team consisting of a tank, a gunner, a controller, and a guard.
As soon as the fight came into contact, KID's guards immediately rushed up and locked onto the most fragile guns of Team A on the spot. The control mecha next to him threw the control in the direction of Lin Yao without saying a word, but who knew that KID's guard mecha was carrying a protective shield with an immune control effect. He blocked the control the moment the protective shield was put up, and then quickly got close to the position of Team A's gunnery mecha.
"Yaobao, be careful not to get controlled!" Ji Qingfeng did not fall behind. When Lin Yao was entangled with the two mechas, his restraint lock locked the more threatening guard mecha, "Brother, it's 1v2 over there, don't run away."
Lin Yao's close combat ability is excellent, especially after he has a regenerative normal attack knife, as long as he can get close to the mecha, his combo can continue.
After he used his shield to block the control, he hurriedly got close and used the shape of the gun mecha to avoid the control cannon of the control mecha.
The two shots fired by the control mecha were both off target. "Is this the strength of the top 16? You can even block this..."
Gunpao was almost hit by his own team's control, and he said: "Can't you think of a way!?"
There are too many trees in the woods, which does not provide much advantage for long-range mechas. Too many obstacles affect the accuracy of artillery weapons.
When they learned that Team A and KID's two mechas had collided, the Marine Team's commander did not panic. They had the advantage in numbers. Even if KID sent two mechas to tie up their four mechas, it was within their expectations. The gap in strength was there, and 4 to 2 was a good result for them. "No need to go for support, we'll stay in the same position and go to KIDyan's position immediately."
The marine commanders were very familiar with KID's lineup system and weapons intelligence.
The only uncertainty is what KID’s command routine is?
"Keep our original battle strategy. Team A will hold back two of KID's mechas." The commander of the Ocean Team had also experienced several leagues. Out of caution, he said, "Team B will pay attention to scouting the locations of KID's other mechas. Teams C and D will go directly to Yan's location. Team E will maneuver to prepare for support. The direction remains unchanged. Our goal is to eliminate all of KID's mechas so that we can pull them off the leaderboard."
The marine commander was eager to know the location of KID's other mechas. Since KID's two mechas were scattered, Huo Yan's position might not have 4 mechas. It was very likely that they would adopt a three-team strategy. In this way, they would have to be wary of the location of KID's other mechas. "Be careful that the enemy may go around you."
The coaching staff of the Gale Team, who received Qi Sicheng's message, were on high alert. Everyone was watching the battle situation on the field. "The command of the Ocean Team is very stable. He is still maintaining a stable formation and mobilizing and allocating mobile teams."
"KID, what are the other three mechas doing?"
"They've gone into the forest, too."
In the forest, Ying Chenlin was walking in the forest while paying attention to the information reported by Ji Qingfeng. He quickly clicked on the location reported by Ji Qingfeng, eliminated several routes from the various intersecting marked routes, and finally marked two routes in red.
The enemy has a large number of mechas, and the command strength of the team that has survived until now cannot be too weak.
With the advantage in numbers, they would not easily change their original plan... If the other party wanted to completely kill them in this woods, they must have determined a steady and fast route forward.
"Brother Huo, fly to the northeast behind the mountain, preferably into the woods." Ying Chenlin confirmed something, "Follow the route I gave you."
Huo Yan was originally waiting for instructions halfway up the mountain. As soon as he heard Ying Chenlin's words, he immediately walked in Ying Chenlin's direction.
On the other side, the hidden team of the Ocean immediately shouted: "Captain, Yan's position has changed. He is now moving towards Team C."
The marine commander immediately said, "Team D, go around and outflank Yan immediately."
After he finished speaking, he still stared at the radar interface and led Team E to hover in the air.
Seeing the direction Huo Yan was moving, Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the remaining intersection. He drove the mecha away from You Su and Lu Xi and disappeared into the forest in an instant. "The three of us will follow the plan."
Doesn’t the other side like to outflank us? It would be very rude of them not to respond.
You Su: "Do you need support?"
Ying Chenlin paused after hearing this and said, "I will stay within your farthest sniping range."
The combined teams C and D went to chase KID Huo Yan, while Team A and KID Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao consumed each other.
The commentator was paying attention to the situation on the field, and suddenly said: "KID has gone with the medical form."
When the positions of Kid's three mechas changed, everyone outside the venue immediately noticed KID's movements. The live broadcast room did not understand the direction of the action being divided again and again. The United Team had five teams guarding the direction. Even if two teams had already gone to chase Huo Yan, there were still two teams left on standby in the dense forest. Isn't this strategy of separation a way to give up?
[Ah, this!] ? Why is it getting weirder the more you fight? 】
[First, two mechas were taken away, and then the three mechas took away the medical equipment. The tanks were getting farther and farther away from their position. 】
[When disaster strikes, everyone runs away?] 】
[At least they are flying towards the outside, but they are heading towards the opponent's gun. 】
The situation of KID's command was becoming more and more strange, and KID's new and old fans in the live broadcast room began to get anxious.
Could it be that KID really failed in the knockout round? ? ?
"KID played a little too much this time. I don't know who their commander is. If I were a fan of sink, I would be so worried right now." The friend looked at Jiang Yu who was silent next to him and said, "Aren't you worried?"
Jiang Yu sat upright, his eyes fixed on the medical mecha walking alone in the competition area: "What are you worried about?"
"What if KID doesn't advance?" The friend looked at Jiang Yu curiously, "Now that the popularity on Starnet is so high, if Sink is eliminated here, I don't know how some unscrupulous media will write the press release."
Jiang Yu didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the kid in the venue, "Do you know how many opponents a single soldier has to meet to make it all the way from the single soldier elimination match to the Star Alliance match?"
"The thing a single soldier fears least is having an army of thousands in front of him."
In the forest, after KID's three mechas separated, everyone's pace suddenly quickened. They seemed to be very familiar with the mountain environment. They did not slow down at all when controlling their guns and two long-range mechas in the forest environment, nor did they carefully observe the surrounding situation.
The audience in the live broadcast room locked onto the direction of the two mechas, and suddenly, they realized a problem.
【etc? Has the distance of the KID mecha been shortened? 】
The head coach of the Swift Wind team was stunned when he saw this scene: "Trace and Lucy's direction, they are going to support the Stealth and the Guards!"
At this moment, the lone medical mecha sink had shortened the distance with the United Team without knowing when, and almost in an instant it had a head-on collision with Team B of the United Team. The positions were exposed on the radars of both sides. At the moment when Team B was stunned, the energy cannon in Sink's hand had already switched to scattering mode, locking the direction of all Team B members from a distance and started a fierce bombardment.
An artillery exchange broke out in the dense forest. The Marine Squadron commander suspended in the air immediately locked onto the direction in the distance: "What's going on?!"
"We encountered the KID mecha!" Team B said quickly.
The Marine Corps commander asked, "How many mechas did you encounter?"
No one expected that the Sink mecha would dare to take the initiative to provoke the four mechas of Team B.
[1 vs 4?] Even if you attack the medical department, you can't do it so fiercely! 】
Almost everyone in Team B was blinded by the smoke from the sink medical mecha. Their mechas quickly avoided the confrontation. When they scanned the radar, they only saw the signal of a single sink mecha. "There is only one mecha at the moment. The energy cannon is scattering. We can't tell if it's a sink or a trace!"
The marine commander was stunned: "A single mecha???"
The attention of the live broadcast room was immediately focused on the sink. At the same time, in the forest, the gun mecha trace, who was controlling the fast-flying mecha, raised his sniper gun during the high-speed flight, and the shadows of forest trees flashed by quickly appeared in the sight.
[Damn?] What is trace doing? 】
[Isn't it useless for him to fire his sniper cannon in this direction? 】
You Su scanned the shadows of the trees that were almost overlapping in the dense forest. When the direction and radar showed that his teammates were about to cross the maximum sniper distance, he suddenly lowered the diameter of the sniper shell to the minimum diameter and fired out suddenly in an instant.
Team B left the smoke and saw the mecha running through the forest. They immediately said, "Yes... it seems to be the only one."
The person who reported the location hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt another artillery fire from the side, "No! Long-range sniper attack, there's another one!"
The compressed bullet diameter of KID's gun passed through a group of trees, either glancing at the edges or penetrating through them, and with a bang, caused an explosion at the side of Team B of the Joint Group. The explosion was still some distance away from the joint team. Team B immediately spotted the enemy team's support from another direction and immediately became alert to their surroundings. "It should be two long-range devices, possibly sink and trace!"
As soon as the marine commander heard Team B's report, he immediately determined that KID was using the 222 division method. He glanced at the distance on the map and said, "Team B, hold them back. Everyone in Team E, follow me. We're going to Team B's position first."
Since they are divided into teams of two, the guns and artillery will follow the medical staff and they will be divided according to the degree of threat.
Naturally, it would be most appropriate to eliminate guns and medical care first.
But before the marine commander could finish his words, a new emergency request popped up on the communication channel.
On the other side, the members of Team C and Team D finally caught up with KID's tank mecha. They saw the tank mecha flying close to the forest from a distance, but there were no mechas around him. He immediately shouted, "Commander, there is only one mecha here, and KID's control mecha is not found!"
The marine commander was stunned: "Only one mecha? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Lucy should be following Yan. Don't just look at the radar information. She may not be using the thrusters and is waiting for you to pass by!"
Ying Chenlin glanced at the movements of several mechas of Team B in his field of vision and quickly determined the types of the other mechas and the weapons they carried. When he noticed that they were alertly tracking the direction, he lowered his eyes slightly and immediately switched to energy cannons to bombard several of the mechas.
It's too late.
In another part of the forest, Team A of the Joint Group had just adapted to the consumption of fighting with KID’s two mechas. After a wave of melee, many of the surrounding trees fell down, presenting a relatively wide battle space. Team A found Lin Yao's offensive rhythm and played
When he was about to control the mecha, Lin Yao, who was diligent in fighting, suddenly stepped back. This retreat immediately freed Team A's control and gunnery mechas, and the two mechas were unable to react immediately.
The controller reacted first, and seeing that Lin Yao had pulled away from him, he immediately fired a shot, hitting Lin Yao accurately and keeping him in place.
He shouted in surprise: "We have it under control! Keep firing."
The Gunner Mech would naturally not miss this golden opportunity. He immediately charged up his power on the spot: "You control him continuously, and I will charge up more!"
[Lin Yao was charged!] 】
[Oh shit, look at Trace and Lucy! 】
[This distance!] ? How did they get here! 】
At the same time, Lu Xi braked suddenly and stopped in front of Team A. He quickly switched to the energy enhancement cannon in his hand, "Brother You."
You Su waited for a long time: "Here I come."
The gun mecha flying quickly in the forest locked onto the direction of another teammate on the radar. This time, the distance was closer, and the sniper cannon in his hand charged faster. At the moment when Lin Yao was controlled by the opponent, his charging speed reached the critical point.
Ji Qingfeng ran away and said hurriedly: "Yaobao! Protect yourself! I'm running first!"
The guard mecha originally controlled by Ji Qingfeng was stunned when he saw this. Why did it run away? ? ?
Lin Yao didn't have time to care about the two mechas in front of him, and immediately used his long sword to cut into shields.
Team A controlled the mecha and Lin Yao, "He actually used the gap to switch to the shield and not the long sword?"
"Who cares what weapon he has?" Gunpao said, "Three seconds left."
The moment You Su pressed the bombardment button, Lu Xi's enhanced cannon in the distance fired half a second later.
Two shells, one far and one near, pierced through the forest at the same time.
In the two-second gap, when the control mecha fired the next control cannon, KID's guard mecha raised its shield and blocked the core of the shield on its head in front of everyone.
"Is this guy an idiot? Block his head with a shield--" Team A's controller hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly saw a fierce fire from behind Lin Yao, passing over Lin Yao's head and rushing towards him.
Team A’s guns immediately pressed the button to fire, and said confidently, “I fired!”
Team A Control: "No, wait!!!"
The fire from the collision between the sniper gun and the enhanced gun suddenly exploded, along with the sniper gun fired by Team A's guns, which suddenly swept across the core position.
Before anyone knew what was happening in the live broadcast room, everything in front of them suddenly turned red.
[KID-Trace eliminates JGG-QOQ]
The author has something to say:

JGG's behavior of eliminating himself and attacking his teammates was listed as a typical case.
