Chapter 212
8 teams, 8 landing points.
Considering the entire No. 4 competition platform as a circular island, the eight landing ports are evenly distributed around the island and are equidistant from each other.
Jiang Yunu remembered that the numbers drawn by Duma College and Diyao College were consecutive, and then she further remembered: Duma got an even number.
Between landing gates 5 and 6, Duma College is the latter.
"Number 6." Jiang Yunu confirmed his memory. "Not bad, number 6."
But she specifically recalled this incident, obviously not just to praise Duma Academy for its cool drawing of lots.
While Jiang Yunu was remembering the serial number of the Duma landing port, she had also quickly deduced the direction in her mind -
If we regard the No. 4 competition platform as a complete circle, divide it into eight equal parts, and then number them one by one, then the No. 1 landing gate and the No. 8 landing gate are actually next to each other.
No. 1 is opposite to No. 5, No. 2 is opposite to No. 6, No. 3 goes straight forward and is opposite to No. 7 landing port, and No. 4 is opposite to No. 8.
Go towards the direction of landing port No. 7, and then slightly shift to the side, you can directly reach the linked exploration area of landing port No. 6 where Duma Academy is located from the fan-shaped exploration area connected to landing port No. 3.
“…”
Jiang Yunu continued to feel the dry wind blowing through the barren hills, and slowly blinked in the wind to blink away the dust particles that were blown to the edge of his eyelashes.
She had a naughty idea in her mind.
——We are still in the “golden scoring period”.
Most players are focusing on exploring their own link exploration areas, and only a few are starting to move towards the central area in advance, trying to get a few points by grabbing the flags in the middle area in advance.
However, since there are not many people willing to go to the "center area" at present, most teams would rather protect their capital first and fill up their "score book" near the landing port. Then, will there be even fewer people willing to go directly to the link area of other schools and steal other people's capital?
It seems that no one is so aggressive, and no one is so "rogue".
In previous competitions with the same mechanism, the flag battles all took place when everyone was heading towards the central circle area.
Jiang Yunu wanted to give it a try and leave all the easy-to-find flags in the linked exploration area to her teammates. She relied on her fast speed to try to be a "field hooligan".
If they want to become gangsters, they will definitely go to areas with abundant resources, where you would not expect anyone to come and rob them.
In their logic, there may not be any concept that "someone will come from the edge of their exploration area to steal points."
Jiang Yunu was moved and took action immediately.
She decided to pick the biggest one.
The personal terminal has been set up with a dedicated communication channel for the group in advance, so that members who are dispersed can easily summarize information at any time.
Jiang Yunu quickly advanced towards the target while opening the team chat: "I have cleared all the flat land on the left side of the area. There is only one hill left to explore. Captain, you send a team to explore this hill. I will go to the front to check."
Sorok's alert voice rang out: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Yunu: "Just go and take a look."
Sorok: "Hey——"
The captain dragged out the words he wanted to convey, and Jiang Yunu ended the communication without hesitation, as if she was afraid that if she communicated for one more second, she would be "softly persuaded" by her own good captain.
Sorok, who had already scored three points alone, tried to contact her again and found that Jiang Yunu's team logo had become a small icon of "full speed ahead".
Full speed ahead, do not disturb.
Sorok: "..."
Sorok: "Did she really just go and take a look?"
The captain looked around and felt that the disadvantages of acting alone were highlighted at this moment - he couldn't find anyone who suspected Jiang Yunu with him!
But what needs to be done still needs to be done. Sorok contacted Aoliang and Xiao Yeli through the team communication, asking them to take over the hill on the left that Jiang Yunu had given up, and reminded them not to worry about the flat land on the left.
"Jiang Yunu has cleared the plain on the left alone?" Ao Liang said in disbelief.
Xiao Yeli said: "It sounds a bit shocking, but it's not surprising that Deputy Captain Jiang can do it."
Ouliang remembered something and asked Solok again, "Let's go to the left. Where is she?"
Sorok was silent for a moment in the team chat: "...She went on a solo reconnaissance."
"Single-man reconnaissance" is the good captain's sincere hope for the free deputy team.
And the free deputy team had already... passed the sector corresponding to landing port No. 4 in the blink of an eye.
[Banner of the Stars] This map has an advantage, that is, even if people from other teams enter your linked exploration area, it will not trigger the regional alarm.
It doesn't even have a regional cordon.
Jiang Yunu first entered the center of the circle from the "Landing Port Link Area No. 3" of Golden Uriel, and then moved through the center of the circle in a low-key manner, using the shelter of hills and boulders.
Due to the lack of a large amount of vegetation cover, there are indeed few shelters on the barren hills. It is difficult for ordinary people to move forward completely concealing their figures. They also have to pay attention to avoid the possible perception abilities of team members from other schools.
But Jiang Yunu is not an ordinary person. Her experience of surviving in the wilderness has made her very good at rock climbing, and she can walk on "unusual roads" that others would hardly walk on.
Jiang Yunu was like a wandering gecko. She walked along the rock walls, crevices, and gaps between the huge rocks in the mountain, climbing, crossing, and moving along the walls silently.
Twice she even heard footsteps and conversations coming from the mountain path above.
"We entered the center area early, so we can eat as much as we can. Once Duma and Diyao's people enter the center, it will be hard to even get a sip of soup."
"Didn't the people from Duma and Diyao reach the center of the circle in advance?"
"It's hard to say. It might have gone in, but they usually focus on their side. We don't go to the side next to their link area."
While these contestants were talking above Jiang Yunu's head, Jiang Yunu was right under their feet, stuck in the gap between the two rock walls.
The place was both steep and narrow, and Jiang Yunu was able to stand steadily thanks to his thin figure and strong ability to hold on to the wall.
She caught a glimpse of the Star Hunter Academy uniform through the gap.
It is not difficult to guess that there is no one in the "vanguard reconnaissance" position in the two-person team above. Their supernatural powers did not sweep the rock layer below at all, and they did not realize that there was a hidden opponent here.
——If this is a points game with people as the target, then her current position is particularly suitable for assassination, catching the opponent off guard.
Jiang Yunu thought about this for a second, and even simulated a quick attack path and assassination position.
Then she felt that she was being a bit aggressive, and she repeated to herself twice, "This is a capture the flag game." Then she waited for the two people from the Star Hunter Academy who had inadvertently given her the intelligence information to pass by before she continued forward and crossed the midpoint of the center of the circle.
Along the way, Jiang Yunu even found two more flags in a tricky location like the gap between the layers. She marked them quietly and slipped under the other school's team that was exploring the hills on the ground.
Consider the entire arena as an irregular circle, with landing gates 3, 4, 5, and 6 also located in the same semicircle. Jiang Yunu passed through the center of the circle, sprinting directly through the connection area of landing gate 4 and entering the connection area of landing gate 5.
Then go forward and you will reach link area No. 6.
When Jiang Yunu entered Link Area No. 5, he heard strange noises and felt distinct energy fluctuations in the space above.
The noise sounded like someone was fighting.
She looked down at the time—130 minutes had passed since the start of the game.
At the 130th minute, it was still in the "golden scoring period", but a fight had already started in the area near the center of the No. 5 link zone.
Who is it?
Landing Gate No. 5 belongs to Diyao College, and next to them is Duma College.
Who was trying to grab the flag from them in the near-center area of Diyao College and rob one of the "TOP2" teams?
The answer will soon be revealed.
Jiang Yunu was in the lower level of a hill built between two huge rocks. There was a "cave" covered by a thin layer of rock, which allowed her to observe the outside world stealthily.
The black combat uniform belonging to the Duma Academy flashed by.
Wow! The Duma school team is robbing our good neighbor Di Yao!
Jiang Yunu was stunned for only a second before she realized: Duma Academy likely felt their fan-shaped area didn't need a large group of players, and that simply deploying a small group of two or three in their "home base" would be enough to sweep away all the "guaranteed points." As for the other elite team members, who were equally formidable individually, they were sent directly to the center of the circle, where they could begin to take points from the middle areas early on.
You can also rob other people's homes.
——Whose idea was this?
Whose thinking pattern is highly similar to hers, and who even goes to the doorstep of the next-door neighbor to rob?
Jiang Yunu felt a sympathetic connection with the decision-maker, initially deducing that this person might be Duma's captain, Shen Yijing. Furthermore, Captain Shen, whether out of a preference for proximity or a more ethical approach, had only gone to the neighboring Diyao area for his "robberies," never heading straight for the weaker teams' territories.
What a coincidence, she also wants to steal points in the strong team's territory.
Jiang Yunu circled the small battlefield and observed it quietly for half a circle. He found that there were at least three players from Duma Academy, scattered around the periphery of the Diyao Academy's near-center area and a little further in the center.
Diyao College sent out at least half of its team to deal with the Duma students who were running around and grabbing flags.
whee.
In the struggle between the “TOP2” two schools, Jiang Yunu plays the “ghost” who quietly bypasses the core battle zone and sneaks into the No. 6 landing port connection area.
The Duma College team is indeed a team with elites and lone wolves per capita. Jiang Yunu discovered that the Duma players who stayed in sector No. 6 had not formed groups.
There were only three people in total, scattered in three directions, constantly marking the flags in the area in an efficient but bored manner.
The students of Duma probably never thought in their lives that someone would sneak in and "steal food" on their territory.
A battle was breaking out at the border of the distant area. Only the student contestants with extremely keen perception of supernatural powers could feel the battle situation over there from afar, and vaguely feel the supernatural light flashing and passing through the air.
The student wearing Duma's black slim-fitting combat uniform approached the stone wall near the hill. He glanced at the central area from afar and wondered in his mind when the entire sector could be completely swept.
He also wanted to enter the center area, instead of being like a logistics staff, passively clearing the flags that were destined to become the team's points in the back.
However, in the Duma school team, the captain's orders came first, and generally no one would challenge Shen Yijing's authority—at least no one had done so since Shen Yijing was no longer a freshman.
The Duma athlete sighed, but he did not slow down his pace. He had already seen a flag on the hill ahead.
But just before he reached the flag, a hand emerged from a crack in the rock, with a personal terminal on its wrist.
The terminal quickly scanned the flags, and the unmarked flags instantly turned into marked flags.
