Chapter 374 Transmigrating into an Interstellar Novel and Sweeping Away the Male and Female Protagonists (26)
Although you can choose your opponent, the choice of the actual combat scenario is random, and the mission details are naturally unknown in advance.
Seeing his opponent getting further and further away, Ling Su became a little anxious.
She had no prior knowledge that the competition would be held in the Endless Ruins. Now, all around her were crumbling ruins, and her heavy mech would cause an earthquake with just a little running.
Meanwhile, Gao Minjing, piloting a lightweight mecha weighing less than 800 kilograms, swiftly climbed between tall buildings, as agile as a monkey in the forest, her figure flashing and disappearing between the buildings.
If things continue like this, Ling Su will undoubtedly lose this match.
With a stern face, she launched the first attack, firing a cannon that instantly collapsed the tall building in front of her.
A sudden tremor shook the ground, and the speed of the enemy mechs noticeably decreased. To avoid the falling rocks that were collapsing everywhere, Gao Minjing piloted her mech to bypass the high-rise area and run towards a more open and flat area.
Ling Su followed closely behind.
She seemed to have discovered an excellent method: to indiscriminately attack any climbable object in front of her, whether it was a tall building or a primeval tree. The vines and ancient trees clinging to the rotting and collapsing ruins were blasted to pieces by these barrages of fire.
Just then, the commentator on the platform suddenly shouted.
"Doing this is a bit risky. After all, warriors who know the Endless Ruins know that the real danger here is not these ruins that could collapse at any moment, but the unknown interstellar monsters hidden in the dark corners."
Just then, something suddenly surged violently among the destroyed vines in the live broadcast. Just as everyone was staring wide-eyed, trying to see what was underneath, a giant, extremely thick, scarlet worm suddenly burst out from the fallen tree.
Everyone jerked their bodies back violently, and the giant worm seemed to burst through the screen, its body growing and spreading wildly, finally roaring to the sky amidst the desolate and lifeless ruins.
The cry was sharp and piercing. What should have been a head was instead covered with a mouthpart covered with dense, sharp barbs. The mouthparts were bottomless, and the sound of its roar was so loud that the audience could feel the ground beneath their feet shaking.
"It's actually a giant insect king that has long been extinct! It seems that the organizers have gone to great lengths to increase the difficulty of the competition."
Faced with this terrifying interstellar worm, I couldn't help but feel worried for our team.
Those watching from the sidelines felt a chill run down their spines as the giant insect chased the mech and disappeared into the ruins.
At this moment, Ling Su naturally sensed something chasing her from behind. She wanted to speed up, but due to the limitations of her mecha's size, no matter how fast she accelerated, she could only watch her opponent's mecha run swiftly ahead.
She began firing indiscriminately.
The opponent's operating skills were quite superb, and the mech was also equipped with an automatic evasion function. In addition, the surrounding area was full of ruins and vegetation, so Ling Su's move quickly became ineffective.
Just as she was getting a little frantic, a red inverted triangle warning suddenly flashed on the screen in front of her, and this inverted triangle warning had now overlapped with her mecha!
What's going on?
Ling Su was startled and dared not slow down, continuing to run forward at breakneck speed.
Just then, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently. Without any warning or preparation, a giant worm burst out of the ground, and the mecha Ling Su was controlling was thrown off.
The violent shaking immediately threw Ling Su into a panic.
This was her first time participating in such a real combat situation, and she lacked experience. She couldn't react to the situation for a while, let alone open her eyes from the chaos and confusion, only to have a gaping maw covered in barbs suddenly thrust in front of her.
As he watched himself being swallowed up bit by bit by the giant worm in front of him, Ling Su subconsciously put his hand on the button to self-destruct the mecha.
The next second, by the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.
If a contestant makes a self-destruction move, it is considered a surrender. Thus, in full view of everyone, Ling Su on the screen was directly judged as the loser.
The first match ended so quickly.
In less than half an hour, the outcome was already clear.
At this moment, the expression on Instructor Amai's face in the main stands was beyond just ugly.
The instructor from the opposing military academy watched the big screen with a smile, then sighed helplessly.
"It makes it seem like we won unfairly. This year's real-life battlefield is indeed quite challenging. It's normal for the kids who just entered the school to have never seen such a scene before. This round doesn't prove anything, there are still two more rounds to come."
Instructor Amai's face was tense, and he couldn't say a word.
At this point, the live stream chat had already revealed all his innermost thoughts.
[Oh dear, what a brilliant strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, with a medium-sized horse against a low-sized horse, but before it even started, the medium-sized horse died halfway through.]
[I almost peed my pants when that giant worm appeared; if I were there in person, I probably would have been scared to death!]
[Hahaha, Ling Su's luck is so bad! He messed with a big guy right from the start, and Gao Minjing won before she even reached the finish line.]
[The Ertes Military Academy is doomed to lose this year. Once their medium-sized horse is defeated, the strategy of "Tian Ji's horse race" will be completely broken, and the outcome of the remaining matches is obvious without even watching.]
[Hahaha, not necessarily! What if Erthes wins the next two matches?]
[Hahahaha, I'm eating! Stop making me laugh, okay? Do you think the God of War, Qitian, is made of paper? It's a miracle that a nobody like Frant Peya is even alive!]
[Ugh, this is boring. We lost too quickly. Icarus is definitely going to win this year.]
Instructor Amai's face grew increasingly dark.
He never expected that Ertes, who had already gained the upper hand, would lose so badly!
The second match started soon after.
Astor faces Stiban.
Just like the previous match, this game ended very quickly. In less than half an hour, Stiban's mech was destroyed by Aster, and the battle was swiftly over.
The outcome of this match was far from suspenseful; Aster won with ease.
But at this time, the Erthes alliance was still in a state of utter desolation.
On the other side, cheers and shouts filled the air, making it seem as if Icarus had already taken the trophy home.
The two players returned to the locker room after the match.
Instructor Amai was already sitting there, glancing at the time.
