The two of them did not make any eye contact, but their hands were clenched tightly, so tightly that Ying Chenlin could feel the other person's distinct finger bones through the crossed fingers, and had a feeling of being led forward.
The clasped hands waved a few times in the crowd, and the elevator arrived at the floor where the medical room was located in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the door opened, the Mecha masters from other teams standing outside the elevator saw the horrifyingly full elevator and could not help but step back a few steps to make way for the Mecha masters from the two teams. However, getting out of the elevator was not that easy. Both teams' Mecha masters were so unwilling to admit defeat that they had to squeeze in even to get out of the elevator.
SLY Medical held up the injured and fractured hand, and lifted up the wheel that was hit on Huo Yan's wheelchair.
When the crowd poured out, Ying Chenlin was led forward by the people in front of him before he could even walk out.
You Su walked very steadily, he almost didn't bump into other people, and stood in front of Ying Chenlin.
The mecha technicians outside the elevator made way for a wide path, and saw KID and SLY mecha technicians squeezing their way out.
Captain Alice from SLY was standing at the front, and she was very close to the mecha pilot named Lucy from KID.
The two of them were not walking very fast, with the wounded beside them, and they walked in peace and quiet.
But things became uneasy after that. The other mecha masters insisted on squeezing together, and the men's desire to win was fully displayed at this time. They squeezed from the elevator to the corridor, and even walked side by side in the corridor, as if no one was willing to admit defeat and no one would give in to anyone else. Even the short mecha pilot KID was squeezing with the tall guy SLY.
"What is this for?"
"I heard that SLY and KID fought very hard, and they were going to be mortal enemies."
"There are only two KIDs, and they are squeezed with four mecha masters. They are about to become meat buns."
The onlookers looked at the situation and stepped back. They saw that behind the two teams of mecha masters who were eager to win, there were two mecha masters, KID and others, walking slowly. The mecha master in front held the hand of the mecha master behind him and walked past them, ignoring the surrounding gazes.
"Aren't those sinks and traces at the end? Why aren't they crowded?"
"What a joke! Do you dare to squeeze with the two of them? Aren't you afraid that they will target you?"
A mecha master asked, "No, the corridor is so wide, why do they have to walk one after the other? And they are holding hands, what does this mean?"
We squeezed all the way to the medical room. Fortunately, there were two medical rooms in the base station, so this silent dispute ended early.
Huo Yan was pushed into the medical cabin. Lu Xi and others followed to listen to the doctor's report. You Su and Ying Chenlin fell behind the others. The two of them were very close to each other, and their hands were still hanging down and holding each other.
Neither of them spoke, as if their only feeling was in their hands.
Ying Chenlin used a little force, and when his finger bones touched, the other party seemed to respond with the same force.
Ying Chenlin has held many kinds of weapon operating levers. Every time he holds one, he feels an indescribable excitement, but the excitement has its limits. But the feeling of holding hands with someone is different. From the beginning until now, his excitement seems to have never stopped. The heart in his chest seems to beat faster and faster, and the heat spreads along the touching hand, to the arm, and then to the body.
These two meanings of liking and excitement seem to be different.
"What are you two doing standing there? Aren't you hot standing so close to each other?" Lin Yao poked his head out from the inner room: "Chen Lin, the doctor said he wants to ask about your mental strength later."
Ying Chenlin moved his hand slightly, "Come right up."
Huo Yan's cries of pain could be faintly heard from the infirmary, as if the doctor was giving him a waist massage.
Lin Yao looked at the two of them in confusion, but soon ignored them and continued to go to the infirmary to see Huo Yan.
Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes and looked at his hand. His fingertips scraped the other person's palm. Before the other person subconsciously shook his hand back, he quickly pulled it out of the other person's hand and said, "I'll go take a look."
You Su did not stop him and watched him leave from his sight.
He raised his hand.
He shook it lightly, and finally couldn't help laughing.
Huo Yan was being treated in the infirmary.
After Ying Chenlin came in and looked at Huo Yan's condition, he heard that he would recover after lying down for a few hours after the massage.
He felt relieved, and when he lowered his head slightly, he noticed that there seemed to be a little red mark on the pale skin at the place of his finger bone. He spread his fingers, as if some sense of touch was still there in his hands.
"Brother Huo, please bear with it. You are a real man. My father said you can't cry!"
"The waist is very important. Without a healthy waist, the rest of your life will be miserable."
The doctor's technique was ruthless, pressing on Huo Yan's waist without mercy: "You are only a few years old, you must protect your waist. Your teammates are right. If a man doesn't have a good waist, what will he do in the future? You are still a mecha master."
"Don't worry, I've studied the relevant knowledge, and a sprained back is no big deal."
Huo Yan suppressed his cries of pain and said, "Be gentle."
Ying Chenlin had not been standing there for long when another doctor came over to talk to him and handed him another report.
"We have combined the information sent by your team doctor at the base and preliminarily assessed that your mental state may be in a rare state of advancement or recovery." The doctor briefly explained the contents of the report, "Your current condition is stable and you will have no problem fighting normally. However, your team doctor told me that if there is any problem, you should not force yourself."
Ying Chenlin responded with a "OK".
"Based on your highest mental power data during your solo period, your highest mental power is 7165." The doctor explained carefully, "We are focusing on recovery. The original 6800 is already an abnormal value. If you exceed 7165 mental power in the arena, you must be vigilant."
It is normal to recover mental strength, but to recover and surpass it is absolutely abnormal, and life safety may be endangered if you are not careful.
Ying Chenlin knows better than anyone what period 7165 refers to, the value when he is 18 years old.
The doctor knew this mecha master well, and after careful consideration, he said, "If you have any problems with your body and can't hold on, you must contact the competition committee immediately. We have your condition on file in the medical room. In the case of life-threatening situations, the competition committee will allow you to leave the competition."
Ying Chenlin hesitated for a moment when he heard about the withdrawal, "What will happen if I withdraw?"
"Withdrawal is equivalent to withdrawal from elimination." The doctor said, "It means giving up."
Ying Chenlin clutched the report and shook his head: "I will not give up, thank you."
After Ying Chenlin left the office, the doctor sent a message to Dr. Eric, saying that he had informed the mecha technician of his instructions.
On the other side, at the venue of the contaminated area of Nathan Bello, Doctor Eric, who had arrived at Nathan Bello, had no right to enter the contaminated area. At this time, he was standing in another medical room of Nathan Bello, holding in his hand was Ying Chenlin's mental power report that was quickly sent over from the First Star Region.
"Yes, but the source of his genetic pathology has not been found in any previous reports." Doctor Eric was on the phone. "His genetic disease can be said to be acquired or congenital. Among the genetic patients I have come into contact with, he is a very special one."
"I received the pathology report you sent. I borrowed a laboratory to analyze it." Doctor Eric said, "I'll let you know when there are results. I've also told the doctors at the base station about what you told me. I know you elders like to worry about unnecessary things. Give young people more confidence. They may have more confidence than us."
"That's it for now, I won't say any more."
He said and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the call, Shi Qingning hung up.
In front of him was the pathological analysis in Shi Xuejun's autopsy report. Certain graphs were consistent, and the truth seemed to be getting closer and closer to one of his guesses.
"I hope this is just my illusion."
-*
The treatment lasted nearly half an hour, and Huo Yan was sent to the medical cabin sweating profusely.
Lu Xi stayed behind to look after the game, while Huo Yan sent everyone else away to focus on the competition.
There is a large square in the base station. When Ying Chenlin followed others to the square, he found that the mecha divisions of the other four teams had arrived. A real-time ranking popped up on the virtual screen in the square, which was the final result of 20 rounds of matches among 50 teams in the first stage.
KID ranked third. Looking down, we saw SHIELD in seventh place. Because SLY got the point from KID, they just happened to be ahead of SHIELD and became sixth. It’s just that SLY’s performance this time was a bit poor and they didn’t make it into the top five. However, there were three teams in the 8-15 range in the Fourth Star Region, and the performance of the Fourth Star Region was pulled up in the second half.
Neither Swift nor Black Crow made it into the top ten, but their rankings were not too far behind, with Swift ranking 15th and Black Crow ranking 22nd.
The other teams from the First Star Domain are interspersed in the middle and back layers of the performance table, and seem to be somewhat behind other star domains, but for the First Star Domain, this is also the best result in recent years. Two teams in the front row entered the top ten of the first stage, and all teams in the First Star Domain, except for the two teams at the bottom, have achieved better results than ever before.
The most nervous people off the field were the coaches of the First Star Domain. They had been enduring and counting the points since the match between KID and You ended. You really tried his best in the last match, performed beyond his normal level, and even lost two mechas, but they still got 4 points, surpassing several teams in one go and jumping to 18th place.
The team from the third star domain failed to grab 2 points in the last round. When the final result came out, the score between the first star domain and the third star domain was only one point apart. The first star domain successfully maintained its fourth place in the total score and won two qualifying places for the team from its own star domain in the second stage.
The competition rules for the first stage stipulate that, except for the teams that advance, the scores of other teams are basically determined. Except for the teams participating in the second stage, the scores will fluctuate, and the star alliance rankings of other teams will not change much.
In the second stage, the number of participants for each star region will be determined based on the total scores. From first to fifth place, 4, 3, 2, 2, and 1 qualifying places will be obtained respectively.
The fourth place has two qualifying spots. According to the current score of the First Star Domain, the two teams with the highest points in the first stage will participate, namely KID ranked third and SHIELD ranked seventh, and will represent the First Star Domain in the second stage of the competition.
You and KID lived up to expectations and won the most crucial 7 points for the First Star Domain in the final round.
The leaders had smiles on their faces, the coach of the First Star Domain breathed a sigh of relief, and the audience of the First Star Domain fell into a carnival.
Regardless of the results of the second stage, their First Star Region has already achieved the best result in history, from being at the bottom for ten thousand years to being second from the bottom! In the First Star Domain’s Star Network live broadcast room, countless anchors and mecha masters were partying. For the first time, the mecha group battle in the First Star Domain became so lively!
[Brothers, tonight is a carnival night. 】
[Finally we are not at the bottom anymore, we are second from the bottom! 】
[I never thought that one day we would be so happy for so long because of being second to last. 】
[The First Star Region bids farewell to being last!] ! ! 】
[Apart from anything else, this year's competition system still has advantages for us. 】
[There are disadvantages as well. Teams that are not good at fast-paced games will suffer, but it is much better than being surrounded and suppressed in the old competition system! 】
The results were also broadcast to different base stations in 10 areas of the residential area, and each team could see the results on the leaderboard.
The PJT team was not interested in the total points and had been looking at the overall rankings. Norbert was staring closely at KID, who was ranked third. His eyes were full of excitement and bellicosity, and he couldn't wait to have a head-on fight with KID in the next game.
The other PJT mecha pilots sighed, fearing that their captain would fail when encountering KID.
Another area is where the number one ranked EM team is located.
The six mecha divisions stood upright, and the mecha divisions of other teams made spacious viewing seats for them. Standing in the first place among the EM mecha divisions was a handsome man. He looked at the battle record from above with his pair of blue eyes, as if he already knew something when he scanned the battle record.
After a long while, he finally said, "SLY was dragged down by KID."
EM The other mecha masters looked at the man: "Captain Alex, SLY is not necessarily..."
"It can only be KID." Alex did not underestimate the enemy. He looked at the scoreboard and continued, "This year's competition is not as easy as we thought, but the first place in the Star Alliance must be in our hands, EM."
"No one can give in."
The other teams were talking about it, most of them were discussing KID who suddenly jumped into the top three, and the First Star Domain who ranked fourth in total points. Most of the faces on the Covenant performance rankings are familiar faces. Even if they are not SHIELD, which is always in the top ten, many Covenant teams are very wary of them. What the Covenant teams and the audience did not expect is KID. -
At the beginning, this team was just the champion team of the last-place Dawn Galaxy. They turned the tide in the Star Domain Tournament against SHIELD and jumped to third place in the Star Alliance Tournament. Their performance grew too fast. Even the Star Alliance team, which had played in many major competitions, had never seen such a threatening dark horse.
This is not a dark horse that shakes up the middle rankings, but a big dark horse that shakes up the top five or even top three rankings at once.
"Is the KID team that strong? They made it to third place straight away!?"
"It's not easy to get third place in this kind of competition system, and they are third with a high score, only one point behind PJT."
"No way? Why do I feel like the top five of the Star Alliance are going to change this year?"
"Isn't KID a small team that just emerged this year? Are they so strong?"
When Jifeng Zhao Lejie saw the results, he smiled and said, "Boss, it seems that we have reached this point this year."
"Well, he's already the best in history." Qi Sicheng's eyes fell on KID, "But we still have the Shuguang team."
Zhao Lejie: "You can tell Luobo when we get out. I want to see what cards KID has hidden. Will he use them against us next year?"
Qi Sicheng smiled and said, "It's hard to say."
The more discussion there is, the more people will pay attention.
The competition system for the second stage has not yet been finalized, but more and more people are coming to KID's live broadcast room. The audience is looking forward to whether KID in the second stage can surpass the current top three in the Star Alliance and refresh the Star Alliance ranking in this session.
Ying Chenlin didn't know what the discussion outside the venue was about. After looking at the overall ranking and total points, he already knew who his opponent would be in the second stage. Compared with the 50 teams in the first stage, the number of teams was reduced to 12 in the second stage due to the limited number of qualifying places. Each of these 12 teams should not be underestimated.
"How strong are these teams?" Lin Yao asked, "Will we be beaten badly in the second stage?"
"It might be difficult to beat them." Ji Qingfeng looked at the position of SHIELD. "We haven't played against other teams, but we have played against SHIELD. If you look at SHIELD's ranking, you can probably tell what level of strength other teams are at."
"Not necessarily." Ying Chenlin pondered for a moment, and then said: "In the first stage, the distribution of teams in each region is different. Some teams with lower scores may not be weaker than those with higher scores."
Their residential area is considered the Shura group, but other areas may not be Shura.
For those regions with average combat power, the team with slightly stronger combat power will be able to get high scores. Currently, this record table can only be used as first-hand reference data, but it cannot be a complete reference. There will be differences in strength assessment... But no matter what, as long as they enter the second stage, they cannot take any opponent lightly.
While Ying Chenlin was still thinking, he suddenly noticed that several mecha masters nearby were looking in their direction.
He looked over in confusion, and the mecha masters immediately turned their heads away and did not make eye contact with him.
"What's wrong?" You Su asked, tilting his head.
Ying Chenlin looked at You Su suspiciously: "Is there something on our faces?"
You Su: “?”
Ying Chenlin pointed to the other side and said, "They have been staring at
Watch us. ”
When You Su heard that, he glanced to the side. When he glanced at him, those mecha masters took half a step back and avoided his gaze.
You Su frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and blocked the sight of those people, "No more, just watch yourselves."
Ying Chenlin watched You Su's movements and asked after a while: "Will you help me block it?"
You Su chuckled, "What else?"
Ying Chenlin raised his head slightly and looked at him, quietly, without saying a word.
You Su stood there for a while, then noticed the boy's actions and explained: "There's nothing on your face, but those people have dirty eyes."
"Yeah." Ying Chenlin took a step forward and stood side by side with You Su: "...Then I'll stand closer."
He considered it for a moment and whispered, "You're welcome to block it."
You Su felt his ear being scratched by the kitten. He looked away awkwardly, then looked forward and saw Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng staring at them.
You Su: "What for?"
Ying Chenlin: “?”
Ji Qingfeng lowered his head and saw that their hands were about to touch each other: "...We still want to ask you what you are doing, aren't you hot when you are so close?"
You Su: “Is there?”
Ji Qingfeng was stumped by You Su's self-righteous question.
"What are you two doing? You haven't replied to us after talking for so long." Lin Yao pointed to the virtual screen above: "There is news about the second stage of the competition system. Don't you guys want to check it?"
The battle record table on the virtual screen has undergone new changes, forming a new ranking list. There are only 12 teams on the ranking list, which are the 12 teams that meet the promotion rules of the five major star fields. Along with this rule, a special string of characters is displayed behind all the teams.
Ying Chenlin saw that it said (6/6) behind KID, and (4/6) behind SLY.
When this interface was displayed, the voices nearby became louder. Ying Chenlin looked towards the SLY team. Alice and the SLY controller were talking with their heads down, and their faces did not look very good.
Ying Chenlin lowered his head thoughtfully.
Lin Yao: "What does this mean?"
"The number of people, or rather the number of mechas." Ying Chenlin explained: "Two mechas of SLY were eliminated, and the remaining four mechas can participate in the battle."
There was no explanation of the rules before, but Ying Chenlin always felt that the ranking format in which the accumulated points were not reset to zero and the competition system in which the first stage could be repaired during the halftime break, the second stage might inherit some data from the first stage.
Now that the new ranking list for the second phase has come out, it has basically confirmed a potential rule that they had guessed a long time ago.
Eliminated mechas are not allowed to return, and the remaining teams can only participate in the battle with a remaining lineup, which means that their previous opponent SLY's tanks and medical staff cannot participate in the second stage of the competition.
Not only that, except for the top five teams on the performance list which were fully staffed, the other teams had more or less mecha damage. The SLY team lost two mechas, and even the SHIELD team, which KID was familiar with, lost a mecha.
"So what are the rules for the second half?" Lin Yao asked.
Lu Xi was thinking as he looked at the rules, "If this happens, the gap between the strong and the weak will widen. It shouldn't be the same competition system as the first stage."
The rotation system in the first stage is not very suitable for the team gap in the next stage.
At this moment, the virtual screen above everyone's head changed again. The words on the original special performance table became blurred and gradually appeared as a 24-hour countdown interface.
There were no extra words on the top, just a few simple and clear words [Star Alliance Tournament·Phase Two], and no other information.
"What is this?!" Ji Qingfeng paused.
Ying Chenlin said: "The competition will start in 24 hours."
"Time." Lu Xi turned on the light brain. The local time of the star calendar displayed in the light brain had just passed midnight. "When the countdown appeared just now, the time was exactly 7 days."
7 days in total. The originally set time for the first stage was 7 days. Once this time is up, the rules of the competition will be immediately released.
The waiting time is 24 hours, which means that the duration of the second stage of the Star Alliance Tournament is about 6 days... During the 6 days, the rules of play of the 12 teams were not revealed.
The second stage of the Star Alliance Tournament is a 12-team ranking tournament. This match will refresh the points scores of the 12 qualifying teams and will also determine the final top ten teams in the Star Alliance. As soon as the new rankings and countdown came out, the coaches of the qualified teams fell into deep thought. They couldn't tell from the current situation what rules would be adopted in the second stage, but there was no doubt that the difficulty of the second stage would increase.
[6 days left.] 】
【The teams that can enter the top 12 are all strong teams. It will be difficult to play in the future. 】
[Eliminating mechas is also included. I don’t know what the rules will be. 】
"Brother Jiang, is this difficult to handle?" Gu Xiaotian saw Jiang Simiao writing and drawing on the data board.
"It's difficult. We were not informed of the rules in advance. There were all kinds of rules. It's not like before, when the tournament committee told us to bring multiple weapons. There were no other hints in the second stage. They just told us that those who were eliminated could not return."
Jiang Simiao knew that this situation would become difficult. "Then our mecha division must consider carrying the most comprehensive weapons in the next 24 hours. It is very likely that there will not be time for mid-game repairs in the second half."
In 6 days, there are so many possible competition formats that can be arranged that it is hard to guess.
How to carry weapons? How to target the remaining 11 teams.
In 24 hours, each team has too many things to consider, while other teams don't have to consider much because the strong teams are well prepared. They only need to consider how to carry weapons to comprehensively target the enemy teams. But KID is different. KID’s combat preparations are limited. In previous rotation matches, they used staggered tactics to come up with frequent tactics and catch their opponents off guard.
But in this situation, if you guess the format wrong, your weapons cannot be changed, or the difficulty of changing tactics will increase.
"Don't we still have several weapons that haven't been used yet?" Gu Xiaotian asked.
Jiang Simiao shook his head: "New weapons may not be easy to use. The most important thing is to consider the compatibility of the weapons with the competition system and our mecha divisions."
Having said that, Jiang Simiao subconsciously looked towards the locations of other teams. The other teams were taking their own actions, and the SHIELD head coach was discussing something with other coaches.
Further away, in the fifth star field separated from the first star field, after seeing the message popping up on the virtual screen, the EM head coach turned and entered the EM rest area with a solemn look on his face.
Jiang Simiao: "The second stage may be difficult to fight."
The author has something to say:
I have something to do in the evening, so there will be no update tonight!
