Chapter 62: Increased tacit understanding
Here, the two can easily feel each other's breath, even without a mark.
"What do I need to do?" This was Sean's first time in here, and although he wanted to take it seriously, he had no experience after all.
Ji Zi smiled and said, "This is my first time here too, so I don't quite understand the mechanism. Let's explore it first."
The foot moved.
Suddenly, a holographic projection screen appeared out of thin air in front of me.
[Battlefield simulation starts. Please select the pain feedback level - Elementary/Medium/Advanced]
Hiss, she was afraid of pain, so her fingers pressed the primary choice.
The sky was dark red, like a curtain soaked in blood.
[Please find the right weapons and destroy the enemy's command center as soon as possible.]
Just as he finished speaking, a low "chirp" sound was heard in the air.
"Be careful!" Sean held her and quickly moved to a nearby place.
The shells fired from nowhere landed on the ground with a loud bang, creating a huge crater in the ground.
The flying sand and gravel splashed onto the two of them, and they indeed felt a real sense of pain.
Sean observed the surroundings and said to her, "We need to leave as soon as possible. It's not safe here."
Ji Zi nodded and said, "Let's go and find weapons first."
The two ran towards the center of the steel city.
"Chiu——"
With the first experience, Ji Zi's reaction was much faster, and she dodged the flying shells nimbly.
Then he leaned over and picked up two pulse rifles next to the abandoned crashed plane, turned around and threw one to Sean, and the two of them moved towards the core channel in silence.
The back is the most vulnerable part of a guide and is most easily attacked.
She handed it to Sean with confidence.
Just like before deeply comforting the sentinels, they must first learn to build trust before they can work together tacitly.
In the distance, dozens of drones swooped down like locusts, their wings cutting through the air, making a sharp and eardrum-piercing sound.
Ji Zi raised his gun and shot without hesitation.
It was the first time she touched a real gun, and the powerful recoil knocked her down.
My knee was skinned and there was a burning pain.
Sean came in front of her while shooting, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Shaking her numb fingers, she imitated Sean's shooting method, using her shoulder to support the gun that was longer than her forearm.
"Bang--" The soles of his shoes made a friction sound on the ground, but at least he didn't fall again.
A blue-white flame spurted out from the muzzle.
In just two shots, Sean had shot down all the drones.
She looked at him in shock, and in an instant seemed to understand why Lin Wen had humbled herself enough to invite him to be her sentinel.
The barrel of the gun was a little hot, and the scorching airflow from the heat sink made her cheeks red.
"In the past, I often took on some dirty jobs of robbing intelligence in the black market."
Was this an explanation to her, or a way to soothe her clumsy emotions?
There was no time to think before the next wave of attacks came.
Hundreds of gray drones descended from the thick, leaden clouds, accompanied by occasional drops of artillery shells.
"Don't worry about me, I can protect myself!" After saying this to Sean, she raised her gun again and fired the third bullet.
"Zizizizi——" The bullet grazed the fuselage, splashing a string of sparks.
Sion behind him was already firing at full speed.
Downed drones kept crashing to the ground, making a deafening sound.
Ji Zi adjusted her breathing and continued to shoot the fourth shot.
If one shot doesn’t work, try again.
She dodged falling aircraft debris and shells while searching the ground for restocking magazines.
Fortunately, I have played some shooting games when I was bored before, otherwise I wouldn’t even know how to load and shoot.
Sean followed her path, quickly picking up the magazines left on the ground.
The light from the explosion illuminated his face.
Although they knew that everything was just a simulation and they would not really die, the real scene and feeling were still frightening.
While trying hard to pick up trash, Ji Zi accidentally picked up a piece of rag.
Open it and take a look.
【Get map information】
A clearly marked map slowly unfolded, and a red pointing arrow appeared on the ground.
"Sean, here."
She pointed to the blue orbital ring suspended in mid-air to the east.
There was a shabby black car parked on the side of the road. I reached into the window and found the key was actually inserted in it.
Ji Zi started the car and opened the door.
Sean took advantage of the situation and shot down the last few drones in the air, ducking down to get inside.
From the beginning to now, the cooperation between them has obviously increased.
"I found a map with the enemy command center marked on it, right on that blue track."
Sean put down his gun and zoomed in on the map with two fingers. "Turn left ahead."
The car drifted suddenly and drove into the street on the left.
"Go straight through the intersection and turn right. There's a pretty good aircraft there. Maybe we can take it up there."
She doesn't know how to fly a plane, so the task of piloting the aircraft has to be given to Sean.
After entering the blue orbit, a silver space station appeared.
Dangerous red lights flashing.
After checking the map, Ji Zi raised his gun.
"Bang!"
Hitting the bull's eye, the world gradually dissipated in the dazzling white light.
[Time taken: 23 minutes and 12 seconds, annihilation rate: 95%, rating: S]
After returning to the simulation cabin, Ji Zi found that his whole body was soaked with sweat and his fingers were trembling slightly.
Sean unbuckled her seat belt and gently brushed away the sweat-soaked hair from her face.
"You did a great job."
Although I know that this statement contains a lot of comfort.
She was still very happy.
After all, it’s my first time completing a level.
In the future, she will have to use this simulation cabin for many actual combat operations to improve her and the sentinels' tacit understanding in actual combat.
The difficulty will also be upgraded again and again.
After sitting on the cushion and resting for a while, Ji Zi and Sean struck while the iron was hot and got into the second simulator.
Buckle up, pass the security scan, connect your nerves.
The whole body was surrounded by condensed mist.
When I opened my eyes, a bird's-eye view of a cube maze appeared in front of me.
The route is tortuous and complicated.
[Please use your perception to find your sentry. There is no time limit. To give up, press S.]
In the lower right corner of the sight, a striking letter S follows like a shadow.
"Sean." She tried to call out.
No response.
Walking into the narrow and enclosed entrance, there are towering brick walls on both sides, with runes and totems of unknown civilization engraved on the walls.
Ji Zi groped forward, mobilizing his mental strength as much as possible and concentrating.
But the further you go in, the more you feel an unfathomable sense of fear, which gradually erodes the challenger's mentality.
Ji Zi could only tell whether she had walked this road before by the intricate pictures and texts on the wall.
Time passes silently.
This was the most torturous part. She had no idea how much time had passed.
The hand touches it.
A familiar flower mark made her stop.
She had just been here a long time ago and had specially carved a mark on the petals with her fingernails.
One horizontal stroke means once, this is the second time.
