The starport on Planet Nott has been abandoned for many years, but fortunately, neither the Golden Iris nor the two remaining ships of the Academy are behemoths; they are at a level that the starport can easily accommodate.
As Cen Yu stepped off the Golden Iris, he looked up at the planet Nott, where they would be staying for some time, his feet crunching on the broken ground.
Dilapidated was Cen Yu's first impression of the planet Nott.
From the starport, he could easily see the buildings near Planet Nott... There were no tall buildings around, and the original land had been turned into plant territory.
Fern-like plants, whose names he couldn't recall and which were completely different from anything he knew about Earth, or which shouldn't exist in this climate, filled every corner he could see.
Cen Yu even found pitcher plants about the size of two palms in a corner of the starport... or so it seems, the scent on Nott planet is rather faint, it doesn't seem like the place where these things should exist.
While on the spaceship, the outposts of the three factions were basically determined, as they were all randomly generated.
The terrain includes both jungle and desert landscapes, while the blue faction is situated in an abandoned city...
After glancing again at the pitcher plant that shouldn't be there, Cen Yu turned and followed the main force of the blue camp.
...
"Before midnight today, everyone from all factions will arrive at the location they were assigned by lottery." The speaker was a student from the Command Department. Cen Yu had never seen him before, but judging from the confident manner of the other person, he knew that this was probably a rising star in the Command Department.
"The competition officially begins tomorrow."
"Today, let's first determine the defensive locations."
Once the gathering place for each faction is determined, the basic information of that location is sent to everyone's communicator. In addition, they can also receive the approximate locations of the other two factions at the same time.
Cen Yu glanced at the map on the communicator and realized that the abandoned mall they had arrived at was very close to the mall he had first arrived at in the simulator.
"How many people have tried the Nott Planet replica in the simulator before?"
Cen Yu sat on a stone-shaped bench in the mall, and Jiang Yan sat next to him and whispered, "...Never listen to his orders."
"Arrogant Alpha." Jiang Yan only made a subconscious remark, but he quickly realized that the Alpha in front of him was particularly arrogant. He immediately tried to make amends, but found that Cen Yu's attention was not on him.
What are you looking at?
Cen Yu noticed that when this person spoke, apart from a group of people from the command department, the rest of the people didn't seem to pay much attention to him.
Wen Xihe has even gathered his own followers around him, while Chi Jiazhen and Li Chonghe also have many people who want to follow them.
As Cen Yu was pondering whether this was the legendary protagonist's halo, Lou Miao'an quietly approached him.
Cen Yu looked up at him. "Is something the matter?"
"...Can I come with you?" Lou Miao'an asked softly, "I don't know anyone here."
"Logistics doesn't need to participate in combat." Cen Yu refused directly. He really didn't understand why Lou Miao'an had such a cradle complex towards him.
Although the other side also joined the blue camp, they entered as logistics personnel. Their main responsibilities were the distribution of supplies or overall coordination. In other words, they would stay in the base.
Therefore, Cen Yu felt that Lou Miao'an had no need to follow him at all.
"Besides, my team doesn't need Betas."
"Ahem!" Jiang Yan tried his best to puff out his chest and make his presence known.
Cen Yu: "..."
"Except for those who can repair mechs."
"So! Let's conserve our energy today." The man continued, "I suggest we rest here first. I've looked at the map, and there's an underground space here that can be used for defense."
"We object," several command students standing next to Chi Jiazhen suddenly said.
They seemed to be either Betas or Omegas, just like Chi Jiazhen. One of the brown-haired Omega women looked at the man and said, "The competition does start tomorrow, but no one said we can't launch a sneak attack today."
Seemingly not expecting anyone to contradict him, the man was about to say something when he noticed that Li Chonghe had also stood up.
"That's what I think too."
"Compared to jungles and deserts, urban environments, while offering natural underground spaces for cover, also make it easy to be trapped and caught in a trap."
"There is a 90% chance that we will land in an urban area in the simulator, which means that our opponents are very familiar with this terrain."
Cen Yu understood what Li Chonghe meant.
Although he didn't know the probability of the simulator assigning maps to Planet Nott, the academy would definitely make some subtle suppressions in terms of terrain in order to maintain balance.
For example, desert areas are almost untouched, while urban terrain is the most familiar terrain to everyone who has used a simulator.
This person said they could hide underground.
If you encounter someone familiar with the underground structure of this dungeon, not only will the entire party be wiped out, but most of the loot will probably be stolen.
"So what do you want to do?" The man seemed surprised that his subordinates disagreed so soon after he was about to give instructions.
He probably imagined that someone like him, a graduate of a command department, would be able to command a large following. However, in reality, because there were no constraints and everyone was a partner, no one listened to his commands.
"Let's break up here," Wen Xihe said.
"They will definitely launch a surprise attack tonight. We haven't set up any of our defenses yet, and if we gather together, we'll be too conspicuous."
Although they have mechs and logistics personnel to help them, it is difficult to build a "fortress" out of thin air that can defend against enemy attacks and provide early warnings in a short period of time.
There's one more thing Wen Xihe didn't mention...
He felt that this so-called safe night would eliminate at least 10% of the people.
"Then what do you want to do?!" The man, who was being constantly refuted, was losing face. Since Wen Xi had no background, his attitude became somewhat hostile.
“We’ll also attack the remaining two factions.” Wen Xihe glanced at the current crowd. “The rest of you should try to store supplies in this area and attempt to build a defensive system and shelter.”
"Everyone can now decide where to go."
Wen Xihe paused here, her gaze lingering on Cen Yu, who was sitting to the side yawning with Jiang Yan, "Cen Yu."
"You come with me."
“?” Cen Yu turned around slowly when he heard Wen Xihe’s voice, then pointed to himself and made a “Huh? Me?” gesture.
“Yes, it’s you.” Wen Xihe nodded.
“Then I want to go too!” Jiang Yan immediately replied.
“You can’t go,” Wen Xi said coldly. “You have to stay here and be in charge of the base construction.”
