"You, don't look at me like that!"
Ke Ruoyun's tone stuttered.
It was like going back to the time when they first met, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
"I still have 4 units of power reserve, and it will be no problem for six hours." Ke Ruoyun simply stated his attitude.
From the beginning to the end, her biggest consumption was the part of the source power consumed by the firefly drone.
"Then I'll go to sleep first!"
After getting a positive answer, Xu Xingyue no longer hesitated.
She released the mecha summoning state, patted the crystal shield of the dormant cabin, and then lay down in it.
"Let me carry this, and we'll split up!"
After Xu Xingyue lay down, Qin Xiaotian bent down and picked up the sleeping cabin.
This thing is quite big, it can be as big as an arm in front of the mecha.
Previously, in order to output the environment to Xu Xingyue, Ke Ruoyun carried two sleeping cabins, but now he had his hands free.
For the remaining three, each person can carry one.
"Okay, contact me if you need anything. When you encounter a suitable opportunity, you and Ruoyun will launch a wave of long-range artillery fire to slowly delay time."
After Liu Bo explained for a while, he took the lead to leave here.
Judging from the shared location information, the direction the other party went to was the place where Xu Xingyue's artillery fire had been previously.
As data from the Yinghuo drone is added, the terrain map is constantly being refreshed.
Estimate according to the rhythm of half an hour.
There will be more than a dozen waves of mechanical beasts in six hours, and the cumulative number by then may reach four to five thousand.
Within this defense zone with a radius of 30 kilometers.
With so many mechanical beasts gathered together, the accuracy of the terrain map is particularly important.
Liu Bo also laid the foundation in advance.
"Xiao, Xiaotian, I'm leaving too."
Ke Ruoyun glanced at the map and said timidly: "I plan to go to the direction of Team 43 first and spread out some drones."
"Then please pay more attention to safety." Qin Xiaotian warned with concern.
The artillery fire from Team 43 has stopped for a while.
I don’t know whether it was annihilated or annihilated.
Now Ke Ruoyun goes there to investigate and be careful not to make any big mistakes.
As for Qin Xiaotian himself, he hadn't decided where to go yet, so he simply carried the sleeping cabin back to the original foxhole and lay down silently.
…
"How's it going?"
In the Dune Bay camp, the instructor looked at the information collection form sent by his superiors and suddenly felt a sore throat.
The trap had been on for an hour.
At the strength of Level 3, within a radius of a hundred kilometers, all the mechanical beasts that already existed were probably moved.
The rest are the mechanical beasts in the low-intensity defense zone around the siphon.
In those low-intensity defense areas, some mechanical beasts were not trapped due to the incomplete trapping frequency bands.
If those mechanical beasts sense the trapping frequency band here, they will probably cross the defense zone.
"What else could happen? We engage in level 3 intensity on the first day. This is already the seventh team that has lost all its combat effectiveness."
Behind him, two soldiers carried five sleeping pods on their shoulders and arrived at the camp one after another.
"Is there anyone with outstanding performance?" the instructor asked.
Brother Bing said: "They all behave similarly, but one team seems to have noticed that the trap uses the sleep cabin as a signal repeater to bridge the emitted trap electromagnetic waves. They have self-destructed two sleep cabins."
"Okay, I get it!"
The instructor shared the information collection form to the team channel and warned: "You should pay more attention to that team. If their dormant cabin is completely destroyed, it will be calculated according to the supplementary regulations."
"Um... is it the regulation that determines the team's disbandment due to the loss of basic living conditions?" Brother Bing scratched his head.
He remembers the regulations of the military camp clearly.
But he didn't remember much about the assessment regulations.
I haven’t memorized it specifically.
"That's it. Once all their dormant cabins are destroyed, bring them back!"
The instructor nodded, then pointed to the dormant cabin on Brother Bing's shoulder and said: "The team scores of these people should be reported directly according to the number of team kills * the third-level intensity corresponding coefficient!"
The instructor authorized Brother Bing to fill in the information collection form.
The filled-in data will eventually be compared with the data remotely monitored by the assessment team above. If there is an error of more than 5%, it will be rechecked and reviewed.
In the end, one of them or the person in the assessment team who is responsible for monitoring this piece of data must be punished.
Therefore, it must be filled out truthfully and carefully.
"Okay, I'll fill in the probing data right now."
Brother Bing nodded and quickly filled out the form, summarizing the team's data.
Although it is also a failure.
The coefficient bonus of level three strength is higher than that of level five strength.
For the same kill of a mechanical beast, level three strength can get 30 team points, while level five only gets 10 points.
Now these teams have lost their combat effectiveness.
But they have not lost their qualifications for assessment.
When they finish hibernation tomorrow, they will have two choices.
Either choose personal action or withdraw from the assessment directly.
This is also to prevent some people with outstanding abilities from being forced to eliminate because they do not adapt to the team.
And after choosing personal action.
There are no defense area restrictions, whether it is the Dune Bay camp or the larger defense area of the 077 group.
As long as you have the ability, you can just run to the next door planet 021A.
Of course, unlike team points, there is no regional coefficient bonus for individual kills.
1v1 kills and 1v10 kills.
The points obtained are all the same. Among them, a black iron-level mechanical beast has a fixed value of 1 point, a bronze-level mechanical beast has a fixed value of 100 points, and a silver-level mechanical beast has a fixed value of 1,000 points.
Wait until the assessment is over.
According to: individual score*30%, plus team score*70%, the total assessment score is obtained.
At the end of the draw, those who rank in the top 20% of the total score can choose to enter university for further study.
It can be said that under such a scoring system.
Want to go to college.
Between teams and individuals, one must stand out.
It’s hard to stand out from the crowd in the mean.
…
Stronghold No. 42.
In the foxhole, Qin Xiaotian fell silent as he looked at the information coming back from Ke Ruoyun on the team's communication channel.
"It shouldn't be right. All the surrounding teams have fallen?" Liu Bo was a little unbelievable.
"This is what I found." Ke Ruoyun uploaded a few more videos.
Previously, Ke Ruoyun went to investigate the situation of Team 43 and found that the entire army there had been wiped out.
It can be seen from the remaining traces on the ground that the mechanical beasts in the defense area were probably cleaned up by the instructors.
The members of their team also left their positions.
Ke Ruoyun then explored the teams in several other directions.
Only then did they realize that there was no one from the other teams around them.
"The situation is a bit bad now. You have to quickly deploy some drones to monitor other directions." Qin Xiaotian said with a stern expression;
The other directions originally had their own teams deploying defenses.
Now they are all down.
Those positions are now vacant.
If Ke Ruoyun and Liu Bo don't set up defenses.
Then they are likely to rush into the encirclement while guiding the mechanical beasts.
When the time comes when you are attacked from both sides, your death will be unjust.
"No problem." Liu Bo nodded, knowing that the situation was more dangerous now.
So I don't care about saving resources.
Directly release all the drones stored in the firefly weapon.
Tens of thousands of drones are hovering high in the sky, one every hundred meters, criss-crossing and flying around in an orderly manner, carefully inspecting every corner.
Topographic maps also continue to expand their geographical scope with drone reconnaissance.
"A herd of mechanical beasts was found at seven o'clock, 79 kilometers away, and numbered nearly three hundred."
"There are also some at ten o'clock, 54 kilometers away. The number is relatively small, just a few dozen."
"Three o'clock direction, 71 kilometers, number nearly 500."
"..."
As drone data continues to come back.
The dense red light spots are constantly refreshing.
Whenever a herd of mechanical beasts is discovered, Ke Ruoyun will mobilize a drone to follow it and take over from Liu Bo for close tracking and surveillance.
With his hands free, Liu Bo mobilized drones to continue patrolling a large area.
The two have a clear division of labor and can barely control the surrounding situation.
"Xiaotian, can you use the heavy artillery after you are promoted?" After a while, Liu Bo's voice suddenly sounded;
Logically speaking, the mecha should be at full health after promotion.
However, Liu Bo still asked politely.
"That's it."
Qin Xiaotian understood what Liu Bo meant and directly set up the main gun and said, "Where to hit?"
"here!"
Liu Bo marked a point on the map and highlighted it, "I feel there is a problem here. My drone lost contact when it flew here. I want you to launch a sudden artillery attack here."
Qin Xiaotian looked along the highlighted points.
Judging from the terrain marked by the drone, it is a hilly area.
The undetectable place is in a valley.
It is 63 kilometers away from them and was the original defense area of other teams.
"The maximum diameter of the unexplorable area is 3.1 kilometers. Do you want me to come?"
Ke Ruoyun was a little worried and said: "Brother Xiaotian fired five shells at once. I don't know how long he will be weak after shooting. If it's just a test, I'll do it."
Things are so bad now.
Ke Ruoyun was very afraid that Qin Xiaotian would lose his combat effectiveness after a round of artillery fire.
If all three of them fell into hibernation, she and Liu Bo alone might not be able to survive for six hours.
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Qin Xiaotian glanced at the map. He could understand what Liu Bo meant.
Since there are uncontrollable factors, eradicate them as soon as possible.
On the contrary, testing is the most useless. If there is a mechanical beast inside and Ke Ruoyun's cannonball misses, then the opportunity will be wasted.
It would be better not to fight.
If you do it yourself.
With the power of the 403 heavy artillery, five consecutive shells were fired, and the direct damage plus shock wave was enough to cover the entire valley.
If there were mechanical beasts in the valley, they would have made a profit.
If there is no mechanical beast.
That doesn't matter.
"But...but..."
Ke Ruoyun wanted to say something more.
However, Qin Xiaotian directly interrupted and said: "After my round of output, I just need to rest for a while, and it will not affect my personal mobility."
Aftereffects casually made some nonsense.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiaotian's main cannon began to charge.
Little bits of blue-white halo began to appear.
With the assistance of the computer team, the muzzle angle was quickly locked, and the left arm of the mecha appeared to be slightly stagnant.
In the field of vision, a white dotted line representing the ballistic flight path of the cannonball after hitting the chamber extends directly from the muzzle to the distant sky.
At the same time, on the map, the landing location of the artillery shell and the estimated explosion radius are also 3D simulated.
"Bang..."
"Bang...bang..."
"...Bang...Bang!"
With the assistance of Queen Bee IV, Qin Xiaotian completed a round of artillery fire in an instant.
The five energy bombs were in the shape of plum blossoms, perfectly covering the entire valley.
The energy bomb poured out is equivalent to 225 tons of TNT. The five shells poured out a total of more than a thousand tons of TNT.
Not to mention that this unknown area is only 3.1 kilometers in diameter. Even if the range doubles, it can still be covered perfectly!
If there are mechanical creatures in this area.
Whether it's black iron, bronze, or even silver, it's still worth it.
"Boom!"
There were flames in the distance, and nearly two minutes passed before a faint explosion was heard.
This distance is really too far.
It is almost reaching the range limit of the 403 heavy artillery.
"How about it? Can the drone get closer?" Qin Xiaotian asked with some anticipation;
He was very satisfied with his round of fire.
There is no need for him to calculate.
Just by thinking about the target in his head, Queen Bee IV has already calculated all the data and assisted in shooting.
This feeling made Qin Xiaotian feel a little unreal.
It's really too simple.
"Wait a minute, I'll move the drone over and try." Liu Bo's voice sounded in the communication channel.
Previously, Liu Bo was afraid that the drone would be affected by the shock wave caused by the explosion, so Liu Bo specifically moved the drone back a certain distance.
"Fuck!"
Just ten seconds later, Liu Bo suddenly cursed in the channel.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Xiaotian asked repeatedly, "How is the situation over there?"
"Watch it for yourself!" Liu Bo sent out a video with some confusion.
Qin Xiaotian clicked on the video curiously.
From the angle, the drone photographed was above the valley.
At first the video was quite normal.
But as the perspective got closer and closer to the valley, Qin Xiaotian suddenly realized that things seemed to be getting serious.
"Here, why is there a warehouse here?"
Looking at the messy valley in the video, Qin Xiaotian swallowed involuntarily and his body trembled.
"The warehouse door was blown down."
There was a hint of trembling in Ke Ruoyun's voice: "This... shouldn't we have to pay for this?"
In the video, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge alloy gate. This alloy gate is circular in shape, about 300 meters in diameter, and nearly 20 meters thick.
Four of the shells Qin Xiaotian fired earlier landed on the valley floor, and one hit the edge of the gate.
The terrifying explosion power directly destroyed half of the alloy door.
Looking through the gap, one could faintly see many scattered supply boxes, presumably overturned to the ground by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
"This was not specifically stated during the assessment, so it should be fine!"
Liu Bo comforted himself with a trembling voice.
Although Qin Xiaotian blew up this thing, in the final analysis, he gave the order.
"Then don't think about it now!"
Qin Xiaotian interrupted directly: "The nearest group of mechanical beasts to us is only 11 kilometers away!"
