No matter how big the storm outside was, it would not affect the main arena for the time being.

In the main arena immersed in the virtual universe and the brilliant stars, the first match of the final round of the quarter-finals had already reached the final round. The cheers and cheers were heard one after another, the audience seats were noisy, and the flash lights of the suspended robots almost lit up the arena.

On the holographic projection, dark blue lightning flashed by, dodging the bombardment at a very high speed, and at the same time, it fired back with a small ion cannon, directly knocking down a giant beehive above the opponent's head. A large number of large bees unique to the desolate planet rushed out of the nest and swarmed up to wrap around the mecha.

Although the large bees could not pierce the outer shell of the mecha, they were so fierce and large that they organized a particularly powerful bee mist, which disturbed the opponent's vision and mecha, and the muzzle was tilted, disrupting the attack rhythm, forcing it to show a short flaw for a few seconds.

The white01 model was not much easier. At this moment, the damage had reached 45%, and was about to exceed half. The left leg was hit by the heavy armor weapon in the fight just now, and the joint joint was affected to a certain extent, resulting in uncoordinated overall movement and a slight decrease in speed.

Fortunately, white01's own attributes provided a foundation. Although the white body in the cockpit was tired, the left leg was not affected as much as the previous data fluctuation.

Both sides had little energy left in the fierce battle just now. The drivers' endurance had reached a certain limit. If they dragged on any longer, they would have to wait until the timer ended and calculate various data.

Bai Li did not dare to bet his chances of winning on the final data summary, so the opponent's brief break was worth his effort.

White01 dragged the slightly damaged body, and rushed at the opponent with all his strength, rushing from bottom to top with his mental power.

The driver on the opposite side was still calm, not feeling sorry for the little energy left, and fired several ray cannons at Bai Li without hesitation.

Bai Li could only dodge as much as possible during the rush, but his left shoulder was still hit, which directly destroyed the ion cannon on his shoulder.

"Too suspenseful!" the commentator yelled, "Although he barely dodged it, this time his damage exceeded that of his opponent—"

The supporters in the audience wanted to stand up to watch the game. Jiang Hao, Han Miao and others stretched their necks.

Lu Zhao covered the lower half of his face with one hand, and his eyes followed white01's movements closely.

The hit did not stop Bai Li's movements. His left shoulder was damaged, but the muzzle of the gun on his right shoulder was already open. It fired at the same time as it was damaged, and directly hit the belly of the heavy mecha.

The vibration spread to the opponent's cockpit, and the opposite driver immediately felt uncomfortable. Before he could stabilize the model, the light knife had already been inserted into the side waist of the mecha, and he was fixed and unable to escape.

The damage to his left shoulder and left leg made white01's balance greatly compromised. Bai Li gave up stability. The opponent's break was hard-won. He chose to grab it directly, and then used the remaining energy to mobilize the muzzle of his right hand and fired at the cockpit at close range.

The instant of the explosion was over.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the black holographic projection. A few seconds later, blue light flashed on the names of white01 and Bai Li.

"Once again, it proves to us that the mecha and the driver complement each other and show superb combat skills!" The commentator was excited and his voice was high-pitched. "Bai Li! The strong driver who killed into the jungle of heavy mechas-wins the second victory in the finals!"

The main stadium was boiling with cheers and applause.

The simulation warehouse opened, and the drivers on both sides stepped down one after another. After removing their helmets, both of them looked a little tired, but they still smiled and shook hands.

"I'm exhausted this time," Jiang Hao said with a smile while clapping, "This time we were evenly matched, and the opponent was also very powerful."

Han Miao agreed, "And this time we were both unlucky in the refresh point, it's rare that the unlucky points are so consistent."

"This competition is so exciting," Huo Cun was also there today, "If we have to be unlucky, we should be unlucky together, and we can't complain if we win or lose at the same starting point."

Lu Zhao didn't stand up immediately, until Bai Li walked off the main stage, his hanging heart was relieved a little.

I don't know why, the recent smooth competitions made him feel a little strange.

Bai Li probably felt the same way, as he was awakened by nightmares for several nights in a row.

Although Bai Li never mentioned it, Lu Zhao was occasionally awakened by the sound of Bai Li turning over in the middle of the night. He saw him staring at the ceiling of the virtual starry sky with his eyes closed, sweating all over his forehead.

After that, Lu Zhao's sleep became much shallower. He often felt Bai Li turning over after waking up in the middle of the night. Every time he opened his eyes, he would see the other party's frightened expression.

"I'm leaving first." Lu Zhao stood up.

Several people around knew that Major General Lu basically left after watching Bai Li's game, and reminded him not to forget the meeting in the afternoon.

Lu Zhao had just moved out of his seat when he heard Jiang Hao calling him.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Hao stood up with his personal terminal, his eyes fixed on the virtual screen, "I'm leaving too."

A dull pain came from his left leg, a feeling he had become more or less accustomed to during this period of time.

Today's competition was exhausting.

But overall it went smoothly, without any major headaches.

It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.

Bai Li held his helmet in one hand and smoothed up his sweat-soaked bangs with the other. As soon as he stepped onto the main stage, he shouted, "Massage faster, I have to go back and take a bath to repair it..."

Halfway through his words, he realized that the atmosphere was wrong.

Every time he came back, these researchers rushed forward as if they had won the competition themselves, and led by Situ, they praised Bai Li with flattery.

But today, even after Bai Li took off his helmet, the researchers were still standing by, looking at him with red faces.

"What's wrong?" Bai Li was puzzled. "Why are you standing there?"

"Boss!" One of the researchers shouted, but his lips were trembling, and he seemed to have no idea how to say the following words.

Bai Li's scalp tingled when he saw his watery eyes: "What are you excited about? We agreed that the prize will be given to the last one to win!"

"No," Yang Han held the mobile terminal and stammered for a long time, "...Boss!"

The assistant pulled a chair for Bai Li to sit on. As soon as Bai Li sat down, he became the shortest one. He was surrounded by researchers and felt scared: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Besieging? Don't be impulsive!" "

A colleague who stayed in the institute just sent a text message." Situ walked over with his personal terminal, "Take a look."

Bai Li was about to make a joke, but when he looked up, he met Situ's slightly red and swollen eyes. His heart sank and he shut his mouth unconsciously.

The text message was a link. Bai Li clicked on it and a piece of news that was released during his competition popped up.

The news platform was familiar. It was the Xinrui Daily that first exposed the fall of Lin Sheng and the leaders of the research institute some time ago. This news was still related to Lin Sheng.

"At 9:28 this morning, the police detained Mr. Lin Sheng at his private villa on the main star. It is understood that the police and the military have been conducting a low-key investigation for many days in recent days. The content of the investigation is suspected to be related to the rumor interference before the recruitment competition and a military case. Mr. Lin Sheng has now been asked to be detained by the police for questioning, but when the reporter asked Mr. Lin Sheng whether he was related to the above two cases, the police department has not yet responded."

A video was attached below, and Bai Li held his breath and clicked it.

In the video, Lin Sheng looked haggard as he was flanked on both sides by police officers, maintaining a respectable posture of "escort". However, the suspended vehicle parked at the door waiting for him to get on was directly used by the police headquarters without any concealment, which made this respectability full of loopholes.

Reporters came at the news, and several microphone robots almost hit Lin Sheng's face.

The once glorious royal child now looked like a defeated rooster, with his head down and unwilling to admit his failure. He sat in the back seat of the police vehicle with a stiff expression.

The video ended here. Bai Li held the personal terminal and paused for a few seconds before raising his head.

"Boss!" one of the researchers shouted, "It's true! It's all over the Star Network!"

His shout was followed by the rest of the researchers.

"It's true! I have classmates in the newspaper, and they are following the news!"

"I've checked it. The police must have had solid evidence to take Lin Sheng away, otherwise they wouldn't dare to compete with the royal family. This is a done deal!"

"I checked it too. Look at this--"

A bunch of tech geeks held up their personal terminals and handed messages to Bai Li.

"Bai Li," Situ stretched out a hand, "Congratulations."

Bai Li's heart finally resumed beating. He stood up, put his hands on his waist and sighed.

Maybe it was because he had cried not long ago, so he felt numb and calm at this moment, but when Situ Chen helped him, Bai Li still trembled even when he sighed.

"It will be better in the future." Bai Li looked at Situ, "right, Mr. Si."

"Yes," Situ smiled with red eyes, "Boss Bai."

Bai Li grabbed Situ's hand with a "snap", and the two alphas pulled each other's wrists hard, causing them to stagger and bump into each other, and then patted each other on the back.

"Let's have a good meal," Bai Li said, "Ask me to reimburse the meal."

Situ laughed: "One meal is not enough, dig in the door."

After winning the game and having good news, everyone in the institute was like chicken blood, and they packed up their things more quickly.

Unlike Situ and others who were happy and excited, Bai Li always felt that his feelings seemed to have become rigid.

This feeling was quite strange. It was not that he was unhappy, but he always felt like he was walking on cotton. Because it was too comfortable and soft, he could not vent for a while.

The competition at Bai's Research Institute was over, and the group walked out from the back door. The reporters who were guarding the main stadium should have known the news. They looked at Bai Li with shining eyes, but they still restrained themselves and kept their distance, and only asked politely if they could interview him.

The assistant stepped forward to explain that Bai Li was very tired today and needed to rest.

"Why don't you go to the military hospital again?" Situ asked.

Bai Li was about to answer when he heard someone shouting in the distance.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Through the passing people and reporters, the figures of Jiang Hao and Lu Zhao appeared at the other end of the crowd.

Bai Li narrowed his eyes, and saw Jiang Hao pointing at him from a distance.

Then he started to run wildly.

"Oh," Situ laughed, "our adjutant Jiang--"

Bai Li raised his hand and waved. Jiang Hao squeezed through the crowd, and ran towards Bai Li screaming "Ahhh", holding a personal terminal in his hand.

Bai Li walked in his direction, and his feet quickened as he walked. His left leg ached slightly, but he was running wildly.

The reporters' camera robots kept making "click-click" sounds, but Bai Li didn't care. He seemed to have returned to the years when he was young and full of vigor. Only by running wildly and shouting could he vent his excessive emotions. The palms of

the two hands, which had both operated the mecha in that mission, collided with each other, and the arms were numb from the shock.

Lu Zhao ran a step slower, and when he caught up, the two tall and strong adults had already collided with each other due to inertia, and almost rolled to the ground together.

"I thought," Bai Li, because of discomfort in his left leg, simply pressed on Jiang Hao and laughed, "You kid will have snot and tears on my clothes again."

Jiang Hao was pressed so hard that he bent his waist and couldn't breathe, and he pushed him away, cursing, "Bullshit, I don't have a runny nose!" After a pause, he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, I've cried enough, and now I can only laugh."

Lu Zhao put his hands on his waist and panted, watching Jiang Hao and Bai Li laughing wildly with their arms around each other. The reporters didn't react, leaving only the filming robot still filming the two adult fierce A and fierce B who had been in the military.

In a few hours, Jiang Hao and Bai Li's photos will be posted on newspapers and forums, together with Lin Sheng's dusty face being put into a police car.

But it's not bad.

At least Empire Concrete is still the handsomest one.

"——A thrilling shot! LIN23 was almost shot down before the countdown!" The commentator's voice echoed in the main stadium, "Fortunately, the comprehensive statistics made him win this game——The winner, LIN23! Tang Kaiyuan!"

The competition is still going on, and the storm of public opinion from the outside world is impacting this main stage, but the victory or defeat has not changed.

Even after being ejected from the map, Tang Kaiyuan still felt his heart pounding, veins on his forehead bulging, and temples throbbing with pain. His

mental strength almost fell below the average again, but fortunately it recovered rapidly in the end.

I just got back to my normal state, and the game is over!

Then everyone will think that I won by luck? !

Tang Kaiyuan sat in the simulation room, panting, and felt a force tearing at his nerves, making him want to continue venting.

The simulation room was opened, and the driver opposite was about to come forward to shake hands, but he smelled the pheromone of alpha, and the same kind reacted subconsciously, covering his nose and taking a half step back: "Oh my god."

The originally narrow simulated warehouse was filled with the smell of alcohol. Now that the door was opened, the strong smell of pheromones dissipated.

"Are you okay?" The driver on the opposite side frowned a little unbearably, "Susceptible period? Can people in susceptible period compete?"

This slightly hostile and disgusted look pierced into Tang Kaiyuan's brain like a thorn.

His eardrums bulged, and all the sounds from the outside world were a little blurry.

Why are you looking at me like this? Look down on me? I won, who are you? Do you

think I'm lucky? That's right, you almost sank me, and now you're not convinced, right?

——"Why do you always seem to be living in a dream?"

Lu Zhao's cold voice, accompanied by the "bang bang" sound of his heartbeat, pierced his eardrums and caused a splitting headache.

It shouldn't be like this - you should all look up at me!

The face of the driver opposite gradually blurred in the noisy voice, while a face with an arrogant and mocking expression gradually became clear.

The surrounding sounds disappeared, leaving only the bright lights in the sight.

In the lights, he was the center of the world.

"——..."

"——Are you crazy?!"

A low roar brought Tang Kaiyuan back to his senses. He suddenly found that he was pinching the neck of the driver opposite with one hand, and his fist was raised high.

"Mr. Tang, please let him go immediately!" The staff member who was responsible for separating the two was a beta. Although he was not very sensitive to pheromones, his expression still revealed the discomfort of being affected. "Are you crazy? This is the main stadium!"

Tang Kaiyuan let go of his hand as if he was burned, and murmured: "I was just... nervous for a moment, sorry, my mental power is very sensitive..."

The driver who was released coughed twice, but he was not beaten, or Tang Kaiyuan did not have time to beat him, but was just uncomfortable with the pressure of pheromones.

Everything happened too quickly, and the audience who were cheering just now were a little confused at this moment.

Several staff members on the main stage separated the two. Tang Kaiyuan's pheromones were restrained after he woke up. Fortunately, the recruiting competition took into account that most drivers were alphas, and there would be cases of pheromones overflowing due to excessive excitement. Most of the staff members were betas, so they were not greatly affected when separating the two.

Tang Kaiyuan was taken off the stage in a daze. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the assistant of Shengshi Research Institute in the backstage run to negotiate with an ugly face. The researchers stood far away and no one came forward.

The audience was talking and noticed something was wrong just now.

"Hey! Did they fight just now?"

"It seems not, but the winner pushed the loser down."

The scene was a little chaotic and the live broadcast was cut off in time. A few minutes later, the main stage was cleared and the commentator's voice rang again: "There were some minor problems just now, but they have been resolved! There is still some time before the next game, and you can move freely..."

All the sounds in the main arena seemed to be infinitely amplified in Tang Kaiyuan's ears, and the noisy sound squeezed his thinking.

"We've already negotiated with them, and they're temporarily covering it up as excessive excitement..." The assistant ran back, paused, and changed his words, "After explaining that it was excessive excitement, I'll arrange the rest. Master Tang, go back and rest first."

Tang Kaiyuan felt someone pulling his arm, and when he looked up, he saw An Lun's slightly evasive eyes.

He seemed to have a basin of cold water poured over his head, and he completely sobered up.

He just lost control.

Hallucinations overwhelmed reality, and he treated his opponent as Bai Li.

His body was not controlled by reason, and he rushed up directly...

Tang Kaiyuan shuddered, said nothing more, picked up his coat and walked out the door under the cold gaze of other people in the institute.

As soon as he walked out of the back door of the main stadium, the flash of the camera robot outside the door dazzled him.

Before he could come to his senses, reporters from all around him had already crowded in.

"Mr. Tang Kaiyuan! Excuse me, are you involved in the chaos in the main arena just now?"

"Mr. Tang Kaiyuan! Do you want to attack your opponent? Is it because of a private misunderstanding or something else?"

"I heard that your pheromones seem to have leaked, and we can smell it now. Can you give an explanation?"

"Have you heard about the scandal behind the scenes of Division 1? What do you think or anything else?"

The reporters rushed in, drowning Tang Kaiyuan with questions like a tide.

He was squeezed so hard that he could hardly move, and he was actually a little scared.

Today, he encountered the same difficulties and embarrassment that he and Bai Li had often faced in the past few years, but he found it difficult to put on a domineering expression like Bai Li.

Someone among the reporters continued to shout: "I heard that the two Os who were treated in the hospital for the backstage scandal in Division 1 have woken up one after another. What do you think about this matter--"

A chill went straight up his back and into his brain.

Tang Kaiyuan tried his best to smile, without answering the question, and just took An Lun to the direction of the suspension car.

It doesn't matter, father will help me to balance it.

And there are Lin Sheng and the first heir.

We are all in the same boat. If one falls, there will be no balance. They must help me.

Thinking of this, Tang Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The second heir made a statement fifteen minutes ago, stating on behalf of the royal family that he would cooperate with all police investigations and allow the police to conduct all inquiries and investigations into Mr. Lin Sheng," a reporter shouted, "As a driver at Shengshi Research Institute, what do you think about your boss being involved in pre-match harassment and rescue mission scandals many years ago?"

Tang Kaiyuan turned his head abruptly: "What?! Second heir what?!"

A violently fluctuating pheromone smell made the reporters feel a little uncomfortable.

"A statement has been issued. The royal family has allowed the police to temporarily detain Lin Sheng. The police probably have solid evidence." A reporter suppressed his annoyance and asked impatiently, "Mr. Tang, don't you think your behavior of not restraining your pheromones is very rude?"

Tang Kaiyuan ignored the reporters' aggressive questions.

Only one thought kept expanding in his mind: Lin Sheng is finished.

The personal terminal connected to the system in the apartment, and the home virtual screen was projected in the air.

The staff on the main stage separated Tang Kaiyuan and the other driver, and the staff and robots rushing onto the stage made the whole look a bit chaotic.

This is a video sent by a colleague from the research institute who was still watching the game at the main stadium. It was secretly filmed from the backstage and is clearer than in the audience.

Bai Li sat on the sofa, staring closely at Tang Kaiyuan who was carried down from the stage. There was still some doubt and panic on the other person's face, but more of it was the tension of realizing the seriousness of the situation.

It seems that he was stimulated mentally at the end of the game and lost control again.

"This man is finished..." Bai Li muttered as he looked at the screen, "How can a person let himself be useless?"

He was a little confused.

But no matter what Tang Kaiyuan's condition was, when Tang Kaiyuan's name appeared on the winner's side, Bai Li knew that his opponent for tomorrow was set.

Originally thought they would meet in the finals, but they would have to fight right away.

The sound of identity verification came from the door, and then the door was opened.

The rain soaked Lu Zhao's military uniform on his shoulders, and the color was a little dark. He shook off the water droplets on his head and changed into slippers.

"It's raining?" Bai Li stood up from the sofa, "You guys finished the meeting quite quickly."

The military had an extra meeting in the afternoon. After Lu Zhao sent Bai Li home, he went to the military and didn't return to the apartment until dark.

"I was too lazy to cook, so I just processed the semi-finished products I bought before," Bai Li stretched his lazy waist and walked to the kitchen, "Just heat it up and eat."

Lu Zhao said "um", handed his coat to the butler robot, and followed Bai Li to the kitchen.

"Change your clothes," Bai Li ruffled Lu Zhao's hair which was a little damp from the rain, "and take a shower." The hair under his hands was a little hard, so he touched his cheek and wiped off the water droplets dripping from the hair ends, "I'll tell you something later..."

"The local army regiment on the empire's border satellite has reported back, and requested reinforcements from the First and Second Army Regiments." Lu Zhao held down Bai Li's hand on his cheek and said calmly, "I received a transfer order."

Although he was prepared, Bai Li was still overwhelmed by the sense of loss at this moment.

Before he could speak, Lu Zhao said, "The transfer order requires me to leave the main star with the team the night after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow?" Bai Li's heart, which had just fallen to the bottom, immediately bounced back to the ground, "At night!"

Tomorrow's finals will usher in a four-to-two match, and the winner will usher in the final the morning after tomorrow.

"Yeah." Lu Zhao smiled, and pulled up Bai Li's other hand and put it on his cheek, "After watching the game."

His palm touched Lu Zhao's warm cheek, and Bai Li's thumb brushed the corner of Lu Zhao's eye.

The Imperial Eagle always has a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows, but his eyelashes are very soft.

Regarding this point, no one else in the world except Bai Li will know.

On the virtual screen, the video has automatically switched to another content.

The second heir issued a statement, and the police department also responded to the media for the first time.

Tonight, the citizens of the empire will finally lift the tip of the dark cloud.

Everything seems to be moving in the ideal direction.
