Just as Qin Xiaotian and the other three were chatting.
Inside Dune Bay Campground.
It gradually became lively.
Each dormant cabin in the warehouse was opened, and the teams that had previously failed to guard the defense points were awakened one after another.
"Damn, how can we keep guard with so many mechanical beasts? Aren't they going to kill us!" Someone started to complain loudly as soon as they woke up.
"Previously at the Jiangcheng training ground, the three of us could face 50 Pioneer Mantises at the same time. Who would have thought that there would be hundreds of mechanical beasts here."
"It's bad luck. It's not that we are not strong enough, but that the enemy is too strong!"
"Hey, forget it, we're all running with you anyway. If you fail, just fail. I'll catch an early flight later and go back to continue wandering. Otherwise, I won't have a chance when I get to the barracks."
"..."
The warehouse was bustling with people, and it was like a completely different world from the outside.
Because it was a makeshift team, these people gathered together in twos and threes. Some were exchanging contact information with temporary teammates, while others hated it so much that they stayed away immediately after waking up.
"Hey, have you noticed that there are a total of 45 sleep cabins here!" said a careful girl in the crowd;
"It is true?"
Some people didn't believe it and carefully counted the sleeping cabins next to them.
"Damn it, there are really only 45 units!"
"Which team is this? Can it withstand the siege of hundreds of mechanical beasts?"
"There won't be A-level awakened ones among them, right? I've heard that everyone at this level has the ability to influence local wars!"
"A grade is unlikely, I think it should be a B!"
"..."
In the face of these people's enthusiastic discussions.
Two of the teams were not involved.
"Boss, shall we continue to stay, or...?" one of the team members asked.
They are the two teams that have persisted longest in the Dune Bay camp, except Team 42.
"Stay, they must have found a loophole in the rules!"
One of the leaders was confident and said: "In the wave of our failure, there were thousands of mechanical beasts around. If they were able to survive, they must have discovered a loophole that we didn't know about.
As long as we get this loophole out of their mouths, we can also face thousands of mechanical beasts. "
"But even if we stay, we won't have the team points to support us!"
"Isn't that better? Without the support of team points, doesn't it also mean that we can recruit more people?!"
"Haha, yes, the boss is still smart. Anyway, the boss has a lot of money. Recruit more people. All the mechanical beasts will be smashed to pieces!"
"..."
It didn't take long.
It only takes about an hour.
In the camp warehouse, the outer door slowly opened, and five middle-aged tough guys walked in.
"Everyone is awake!"
The leader glanced coldly at the group of newly graduated awakened people in the warehouse.
When all these people calmed down and their eyes fell on him.
He then said calmly: "I am your instructor Yang Xu. You all know the rules of the assessment. Those who decide to withdraw from the assessment now stand on my left and continue to stay. Those who conduct individual assessments stand on my side." right hand side!"
As his words fell.
The crowd that was originally standing in the warehouse suddenly split into two teams.
Yang Xu glanced at the people left behind.
There are twelve in total.
Yang Xu nodded secretly.
Fortunately, these people who stayed behind were still somewhat bloody, so they didn't just become turtles.
Then, he looked to the left.
Yang Xu snorted coldly, pointed to the four tough guys behind him, and said: "Since you have chosen to withdraw from the assessment, then stay here honestly. You will follow them back to the preparation hall later."
After simply arranging those who are ready to leave.
Yang Xu then said to the people left behind: "From now on, the camp will no longer restrict your travel range, and at the same time, it will no longer provide your daily needs and protect your safety.
All supplies in 021B need to be borne by you and solved by yourself.
Of course, if you get something valuable, you can exchange it at any camp on the planet. "
After briefly talking about some matters of personal action.
Yang Xu took out an instrument from his arms.
I scanned the numbers of the people left behind one by one.
Separate their personal information from the team and create their own files.
"What if we really can't get survival supplies?" one of the people who chose to stay asked;
No wonder he asked like this.
For an environment like 021B, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a barren mountain.
They are just waking up.
They couldn't last long outside the camp.
Hunger alone can kill them.
So when someone asked about this item, several other people also pricked up their ears.
"It's not simple yet."
Yang Xu and the four tough guys behind him looked at each other, and there was a hint of smile in their eyes.
Yang Xu didn't give in and said directly: "If you really can't get production materials, you can come to the camp. In addition to purchasing valuable things, we can also exchange survival materials here!"
"So good?" The person who asked the question was a little surprised.
"certainly!"
Yang Xu grinned, the corners of his lips opening and closing showing cold teeth, and said with a wicked smile: "But I have to remind you that camp supplies are very expensive!"
All the candidates' belongings were left on the starship.
The only things that can be brought into the examination room are some armed parts.
If you want to survive here and exchange for living supplies, you have to rely on your own hands to obtain them.
"Is there anyone left behind?"
Yang Xu finished recording the number and raised the instrument in his hand, "I'll only give you the last minute to think about it."
…
Team 42 camp.
At this time, Ke Ruoyun and Li Yu, who were sleeping, also woke up one after another.
"So many weapons!"
Li Yu pinched Xu Xingyue's thigh in disbelief.
"hiss!"
Xu Xingyue screamed in pain, and reflexively raised her foot to kick Li Yu's butt. She rolled her eyes and said, "You want to die, but you dare to pinch me. You want to go back to sleep on the floor, right?"
"Oh, I thought I was living in a dream!" Li Yu repeatedly begged for mercy.
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
At this time, everyone in the field except Liu Bo remained alert in his mecha state.
Several other people have already disarmed the mecha form and carefully selected their weapons.
"The weapons I have left are enough!"
Qin Xiaotian selected a torso weapon from the hole under Li Yu's sleeping cabin, and three secondary gun position weapons of unknown performance.
In the past period of time.
All four people were successfully promoted to the first level.
After discussion among the five people, for the sake of safety, everyone selected some suitable armed backup.
The rest was loaded into Liu Bo's torso space.
As for the pile of worthless bargains outside, put them directly into the dormant cabin.
One hibernation pod won't fit, but three will still do.
"I...I have enough."
Ke Ruoyun raised the weapon in his hand.
Because she didn't know the effects of the weapons, she picked four exclusive weapons that looked good. As for the torso and the slot weapons that had not yet been opened, she also kept a spare in each position.
"Then let's do this for now!"
Xu Xingyue registered the number of weapons left by several people and made a note in the list.
Then he signaled Liu Bo to put the weapon in his vagina into the torso space.
The torso weapon Liu Bo carried was quite satisfactory, with a total storage space of 0.5 cubic meters.
After collecting all these valuable weapons, more than half of the space has been filled.
"Things have changed!"
Just when a few people were carrying the armed components on the ground into the sleeping cabin.
Liu Bo, who was in charge of the alert, suddenly said: "A mecha team of 12 people has appeared at the Dune Bay camp, and they are coming to us."
Hear Liu Bo’s report.
Qin Xiaotian and Xu Xingyue looked at each other.
As the default command of the team, Xu Xingyue directly made arrangements: "Li Yu, you don't have long-range firepower. You pack up your weapons here first. Brother Xiaotian and Ruoyun, let's get ready first!"
Qin Xiaotian and Ke Ruoyun nodded.
After installing the armed components, summon the mecha directly.
After just a round of upgrades, their team's strength has been greatly improved.
Among them, Ke Ruoyun has reached the black iron level LV7.
Loaded respectively: Queen Bee IV, 403 heavy artillery, ghost scythe, PX-50 double-barreled cannon, firefly drone, sand sea taunt and knight's shield.
Among them, the 'Knight's Shield' is a tank-specific weapon she just loaded. Its effect is that it can bind up to ten people. During the binding period, it increases the physical resistance of teammates by 10% and the movement speed by 5%.
It is also a group bonus effect.
Among tank-specific weapons, the quality is mid-to-lower.
Liu Bo's side has reached the black iron level LV6.
He is equipped with: head weapon, torso weapon, main weapon lance, firefly drone, foot weapon and exclusive weapon with two passive effects of 'Quick Step' and 'Silence'.
Liu Bo's configuration is relatively satisfactory.
It is worth mentioning that with the support of the Knight's Shield, his movement speed has been strengthened to a certain extent.
Qin Xiaotian estimated that looking at the entire 021B, he should be the fastest one in the same level.
As for Xu Xingyue, he has now been promoted to level 5.
She is loaded with: head weapon, 230mm caliber howitzer, 60mm caliber mortar, and exclusive weapon 'Erosion'.
At the same time, she recently added a main weapon after upgrading.
However, in terms of weapon selection, she did not choose the PX-50 as the main weapon transition, but chose an armed 'Ladybug-33' floating mine dropped from the self-destructing Ladybug.
The power of this floating mine is not great, but it has the ability of automatic sensor tracking and floating flight. The radius of the explosion shock wave is about 15 meters, which can maximize the 'erosion' effect of the exclusive weapon.
With this floating mine, Xu Xingyue can easily lay out an aerial minefield.
Protect your own safety to the greatest extent.
Except for the three of them.
The remaining two lv4s are Li Yu and Qin Xiaotian themselves.
Li Yu's combat prowess is still the same.
In addition to the equipment: head weapon, mecha repair component for the left leg, Rhino II alloy shield and the heavy sword.
He also possesses a bronze-level mecha combat skill 'Triple Gravity Field'.
However, the aftereffects are really hurtful.
If there were no teammates around to protect him, the grass on the grave would probably have sprouted by now.
"It's walking in a straight line, and the long-range firepower is charged. It seems that the attacker is evil!"
Qin Xiaotian looked at the picture transmitted back by the Yinghuo drone.
These mechas coming out of the camp followed an unbiased route and headed straight towards Camp 42.
At the same time, several people in that team had blue-white light spots lingering on their weapons. This was a distinctive feature that the weapons were in a charged state.
Under normal circumstances, if there is no relevant talent or equipment effect to cover it.
Mechas below the gold level cannot conceal the charging status characteristics.
Xu Xingyue also noticed something unusual at this time.
"Liu Bo, you go back to their rear first!"
Xu Xingyue didn't hesitate at all, she directly issued the combat order.
The reason why she was able to serve as the team leader of Qin Xiaotian and Ke Ruoyun before they joined the team was not because of her face.
Her sense of smell on the battlefield is extremely sharp.
At the same time, when facing a battle, he is also extremely decisive and never drags his feet.
"Understood, I'll go over right now!"
Liu Bo responded, and after turning on location sharing, he disappeared into the night without any warning.
The passive nature of silence is really a bit abnormal under the cover of night.
If it weren't for the location sharing, Qin Xiaotian wouldn't know where Liu Bo was now.
When Xu Xingyue saw Liu Bo taking a circuitous route, she swung her right arm forward.
Hundreds of floating thunderbolts came out instantly and hovered quietly three meters above the ground: "Brother Xiaotian, you and Li Yu will be on guard here. Just leave the melee combat to him!"
After saying that, Qin Xiaotian received an authorization instruction.
With this authorization, he can sense the direction of the floating mine, avoid the induction tracking of the floating mine, and at the same time, he can actively control the floating mine to fly within a three-kilometer range and deploy defenses.
"no problem!"
Qin Xiaotian raised his arms, and the two PX-50 twin machine guns aimed directly at the area behind him.
There is no clear provision in the assessment that candidates cannot fight each other.
In this regard, there is only a dry one:
During the assessment period, you are not allowed to intentionally cause death under any circumstances.
Violators will be punished by law.
That's all.
The rules don't say what will happen if someone is disabled.
Big deal.
No need for main gun.
The small leather whip only hit their lower bodies.
Anyway, the body of the awakened person is in the upper body. If the lower body is shattered, the source parts of the mecha are at most broken. After exiting the assessment and recuperating for a period of time, it can be recovered.
"Ruoyun, let's go to the side and set up defenses!"
After Xu Xingyue made some arrangements here, he took Ke Ruoyun directly five kilometers away.
Although her current firepower output has been cut by more than half due to the issue of exclusive weapons.
But Ke Ruoyun is also the one equipped with PX-50 now.
The two of them can still defend one firepower point.
"Boom!"
A dull roar came from the distance.
Qin Xiaotian glanced at the map.
The explosion site was found to be one kilometer directly in front of the group of people.
It was Xu Xingyue who fired the cannon!
Warning fire.
Qin Xiaotian raised his arms slightly, Queen Bee IV quickly analyzed the data sent back by Liu Bo, and the radar directly locked the opponent's mecha.
at the same time.
In the mecha public channel.
Xu Xingyue said in a cold tone: "This is Team No. 42. You have entered my team's defense area. Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"
