The combat modules in the Death Maze are more powerful than ordinary modules. In order to increase the number of combat modules as much as possible, An Xin’s suggestion is, Greed!
Let them enter the death maze almost "naked", relying entirely on the combat modules inside to arm the vehicle.
The risk is that without protection, you may be ambushed by other players.
However, the ten killers and "Sound Wave" have been dealt with in advance, and the pressure they need to face is much less.
With Porter's driving skills, compared to the huge benefits, the risk is completely worth it.
After confirming Greedy’s plan, it is much simpler to adjust the “War Eagle”. You only need to remove the installed modules and simply confirm the status of the car.
It only took three minutes for them to start again.
Before leaving, while Porter was looking at the car, Mo Fan asked: "Miss An Xin, can you still work in your current condition?"
"Absolutely, I'm very awake now." An Xin said with a vague pronunciation.
"Help me investigate some information. What's special about the rewards for the top players in this stage final?"
"Have you found evidence that someone is rigging the game?" An Xin asked.
After confirming that someone was secretly forcing Porter to withdraw from the game, they speculated that someone wanted to manipulate the game.
If he simply had a grudge against Porter, he would simply pay for the murder. As a loyal spectator of the Death Race, An Xin had long wanted to kill Porter before becoming a client of Ruyi Firm.
As long as someone places an order, she can give the order a 20% discount, and she can also voluntarily reduce the commission by half to ensure an affordable price.
But the other party didn't do this.
Killing Leka first, and then hiring all the free escorts, means that the goal of the forces behind it is not to kill people, but to force Porter to withdraw from the game.
And such a "mild" method means that they don't want their existence to be exposed.
The goal was to force the favorites to retire, and Porter stood in their way.
Mo Fan nodded, "There is a competition team involved, but I think the competition team is just pushing the boat along, not the mastermind."
"What's the reason?"
"intuition."
An Xin pinched her eyebrows and said, "I have only heard this sentence from female clients who were entrusted with investigating affairs."
Mo Fan's inference was actually more than just intuition.
Porter said that the winner's reward is a beta version of "implanted neural driving". The prosthesis is in the research and development stage and was developed by Xituo's prosthetic laboratory.
He has investigated and found that this prosthetic laboratory is located in Tianche City, and its authority level is much higher than that of the Xituo Company branch in other satellite cities, and it has the same level of authority as the Planet City branch.
The real purpose of the mastermind who wants Porter to withdraw from the competition is likely to be related to this laboratory.
And Huo Hua said that there will be a big deal in Tianche City in a year.
Perhaps Mo Fan had just traveled through time and didn't know much about Tianche City, but the two pieces of information put together made it difficult for him to make associations.
He cleared his throat, like a wife who noticed her husband cheating, and said in a sensitive and slightly nervous tone:
"But it's accurate, and that's enough. My intuition also tells me that the water behind it must be very deep, so let's not get too involved."
An Xin took a sip of wine noncommittally and asked: "If the investigation results show that someone is indeed targeting the top few rewards, what are you going to do?"
"Then let the news out, as long as the price is right, we can transfer the reward."
"The reward is Potter's, what if he doesn't want to?"
Mo Fan showed a smile and raised a fist wearing a mechanical glove that was bigger than a clay pot.
"He will agree. I have always been good at convincing people with reason."
The car left the first maintenance point and after traveling one kilometer, it came to the gate of the death maze.
They were the last convoy to reach the maze of death.
Outside the death maze, ten-meter-high metal plates surrounded the abandoned factories like a city wall.
On the metal plate, huge numbers are projected.
32.
There are 32 groups representing the current survivors in the death maze.
Subtracting the ten teams of killers and "Sound Wave" who attacked them, and subtracting themselves, only six teams of players have been eliminated so far in the competition.
As for their team, eleven team members were destroyed.
Single-handedly, he tripled the bloodiness of the game, so it’s no wonder that his support skyrocketed like a rocket.
After the scan passed, the huge metal plate at the entrance moved away, revealing a one-way path.
When Mo Fan and Porter entered, the number projected outside changed to 33. Then there was an explosion in the maze, and 33 changed back to 32.
Before the start of the competition, the competition team prepared a special radar module for each player.
After entering the death maze, many bright spots will be displayed on the radar. Each bright spot represents a combat module that has not yet been found.
However, the radar can only determine the position and cannot tell the player what type of combat module the highlight is.
The combat module radar is both a navigation and a trap.
Every time when the players are looking for a module, they must not only be careful about the obstacles placed around the module by the competition team to increase the difficulty, but also be careful about whether there are any hidden No. 6s around.
The single function of the combat module radar is not just achieved to this extent, but it is intentional by the competition party.
When entering the arena, An Xin recorded the combat module radar program and sent it to someone.
When adjusting the performance of the car at the first maintenance point, An Xin had already obtained the cracked program and passed it onto the radar.
The cracked combat module radar not only detects more accurate distance and orientation, but can also distinguish four module types according to red, blue, green and yellow: attack, defense, speed and function.
The first step into the death maze, the first thing they look for is the defense module.
After all, they came in "naked". Facing other players who had obtained combat modules, having no defense meant there was no room for error.
Although the Death Maze is large, it is not so big that more than thirty vehicles can move quickly, and it is difficult for them to bump into each other.
On the way to the first module, they met two teams of players. Judging from the driving direction, they selected the same target.
But after meeting each other and discovering that they were "War Eagles", the players from both teams took the initiative to leave and gave up the target's combat module.
This change made Porter somewhat uncomfortable.
In the past, in the death racing arena, no matter where the team ranked in terms of points, as long as they saw him, they would dare to come up and hit a few shuttles to catch up to a few hundred meters.
It was the first time for him to enjoy such treatment after being walked around.
It seems that the ten destructions that hit the screen have made other players get to know Porter and the "War Eagle" team again.
They soon came to an abandoned factory building and followed the instructions to the fifth floor.
Most of the fifth floor of the factory has collapsed, and the combat module is placed on a lonely small platform.
The platform is built on load-bearing pillars, and the ground around the platform has collapsed. The driver must control the car, accelerate across the huge gap leading to the platform, and stop firmly on the platform to obtain the combat module above.
An elevator that can only go downwards is installed next to the platform for players who have completed the test to leave.
It looks dangerous, but for Porter, it's not too difficult.
With little preparation, Porter found the most suitable path at a glance. Using the "runway" left by the competition team, he accelerated across the gap and landed on the platform.
What is placed on the platform is the external armor-type defense module they need most.
The combat module uses better materials, which is not only lighter and stronger than the armor of the ordinary defense module, but also has 30% higher durability.
After installing the armor on the car, Porter drove the car into the elevator.
Just as the elevator descended to the first floor, a notice popped up on the control panel in the car.
"Volcano", which ranked first in the standings, was eliminated.
It wasn’t Vartan’s “Phantom” that eliminated them, nor was it the crossover king Ryan’s “Swift Wind”.
Rather, it was a team that was unexpected by all the viewers but was expected by Mo Fan.
The No. 50 "Quicksand" team is at the bottom of the standings.
