The explosion seemed to activate a signal from something, and the atmosphere in the venue changed instantly.
Gavin raised his eyes and found that at some point, everyone had drawn their weapons. In the next second, there was a loud bang from behind, and he saw an interstellar military academy cadet brazenly firing, and was about to blast his closest opponent away!
The airflow threw everyone into chaos, Gavin made a quick decision, turned around and ran into the depths of the jungle!
At this time, it was obvious that the high level had come down: several contestants from famous military academies moved extremely fast, and rushed out in all directions at the same time, and the tarmac behind them suddenly fell into the hell of artillery fire. At least a quarter of the mechs were affected in the scuffle. Those blown up parts were considered a trivial matter. Many people had their energy centers blown up without even seeing their opponents clearly, and they were immediately sent out.
The announcements that a certain mecha was hacked and a certain player was eliminated continuously sounded on the public frequency, and the faces of the principals in the box suddenly became bright.
"Sixty-six," Caroline looked at the big screen and said with a smile, "More than half of the students survived the first two minutes of the competition this year. Congratulations, everyone."
Several people from the seed military academy smiled calmly, while the others had different expressions on their faces, each gritted their teeth and remained silent.
"Your student is off to a good start, Principal Caroline," Dana asked casually, "Is that Dean, the son of Major General Ragrey? I heard that their family specially customized C The super mecha came for him to train, and now it seems that it is really effective, it is really a formidable young man—”
"The student who represented your school in the competition this year is really impressive. It is said that she is a Beta girl, right?" Caroline immediately responded enthusiastically: "I was very impressed at the dinner, and she is still a rare person. What a beauty! A Beta girl can still be so good, you can imagine how many crouching tigers, hidden dragons the students in your school have—"
The two principals laughed, and then turned their heads.
Gritting her teeth, Dana thought to herself, didn't that brat in the Lagerui family just take advantage of the family background? If his family hadn't provided him with excellent training conditions, how could he compare to the students of our interstellar military academy? ! Take a step back and say that even if he wins, it's not your school's credit, he was taught by his own family!
Caroline sneered and said nothing, and said in her heart that there is an interstellar military academy, and only one Beta girl is selected after thousands of choices. How bad is the Alpha in your school? It's okay if you make it to the finals in the end, but if you don't make it through the first two rounds, it depends on where you put your face!
The atmosphere in the box was eerie, but it was completely different on the field.
After the first round of indiscriminate bombing, sixty-six mechas stood out and rushed into the primitive jungle covering an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers from all directions.
The competition mainly depends on two points: the first is who crosses the forest to reach the destination first, and the second is who gets the most points in the middle.
Regardless of the fact that the players are all driving C-level mechas, in fact, the flight and navigation systems of these mechas have been turned off, and the only way to cross the forest is to walk. A forest with a diameter of 40,000 kilometers is enough for them to trek for several days, but there is no water in the middle, and everything must be self-reliant.
In order to compete for limited survival resources and win more points, this journey is full of bloody fights; and those lucky ones who defeat all opponents may not be able to get out of the forest, because there are many rare creatures in the depths of the forest , There are not a few players who are eliminated by them every year.
Thrilling every step of the way is the true face of this journey.
Luan Zhu swung his knife to split the vines, striding across the rugged rocks.
Gavin sat in a daze in the technician's cabin, and Dean, who was untied, sat in the cockpit with the machine armor. The primeval forest is difficult to walk. After the twentieth time Dean struggled over the mound full of dead animals, he finally couldn't bear the embarrassing silence: "I said... why do we have to go this way?"
This is simply nonsense, because the ground under their feet is not a road at all, they just walked down in the direction that Luan Zhu rushed into the jungle.
"Because weak chickens are the least." Unexpectedly, Gavin gave an answer immediately.
"What's the meaning?!"
"The least weak chicken means."
Dean: "…"
There was silence in the cabin.
"Isn't it extra points for beating weak chickens?" Dean finally asked again after five minutes.
Gavin: "Other people feel the same way."
"… so?!"
"So let others fight first."
Dean: "…"
There was another silence.
"I thought the purpose of this kind of competition was to try to score as many points as possible in the middle of the game. After collecting enough points, I rushed out of the jungle in one go, and then—" Dean finally couldn't help but speak for the third time after five minutes.
"Then you were besieged by several military academies before rushing out, because you have become the fat sheep with the highest score."
"how come?!"
"Why not?"
Dean stayed in the driver's seat and couldn't react. He just heard Gavin say indifferently: "Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind. Let's wait for others to get the points, and then we can kill them... Just wait, three days later Naturally, someone will come to ask for cooperation.”
Dean understood a little bit in a trance, but he still couldn't be sure: "In this kind of place, you join forces with an enemy you have never seen before. How can you be sure that someone will do such a thing?"
Gavin laughed.
"Of course I can't say for sure, but joining forces is an ever-victorious strategy for military strategists..." He paused, then said casually, "I believe in the wisdom of the opponent."
At the same moment, at the other end of the forest, the two mechas finally decided the winner after a desperate struggle.
The winner was covered in scars, and with the 620 points rewarded by the system, he staggered and turned around, and there was a flash of snow in his face.
"Ding!" The voice of the public frequency sounded: "Mecha Huahu succeeds in sneak attacking the opponent, rewarding 400 points, and the opponent gets 620 points; the mecha beast scale is cut off, and the driver is eliminated."
The unlucky winner lay on the ground, sighed heavily after a while, and punched the ground hard. The sneak attacker returned with a full load, turned around full of satisfaction, and was about to go far away, when suddenly he was struck by lightning and froze in place—
Two hundred meters away, a black mech stood on the hill, looking at it quietly.
"Rasgard..." The sneak attacker took half a step back and said in a trembling voice, "Interstellar Military Academy Rasgard...!"
The black mecha jumped down the hill and landed heavily on the ground with a bang.
The sneak attackers aimed their guns immediately, but they did not dare to act rashly. The contestants in the cockpit were sweating all over their heads and faces.
Interstellar Military Academy Rasgard, although she may be a Beta girl, her reputation as a genius is very loud among nearby military academies—it is said that her mental threshold is strong enough to control A-level mechs freely, and she is this year's champion seed player. I am not a piece of cake!
What's more, I just got 1,000 points now, and I'm just a small fish that is neither thin nor fat, who would refuse the meat that is brought to my mouth? !
The sneak attacker's hands trembled slightly, and even the mecha stiffened strangely—time passed by, and the atmosphere in the forest was extremely strange. Just as the sneak attacker was in a dilemma, the black mecha suddenly turned around.
"… what?"
The sneak attacker's eyes widened, only to see the black mech walking away like no one else.
"He ran away, Rasgard." In the black mecha, the technician lazily raised his feet on the console, and because he had a lollipop in his mouth, his voice sounded murmuring: "Are you really Don't you want to make a move? One thousand points, the highest score in the arena is only two thousand five—"
"Not yet."
"Not yet? Be careful if you lose the game, old man Dana will cry with you!"
There was silence in the headset, and after a while, only a soft question was heard: "-lose?"
"In the first three days of the game, whoever has the highest score is the real loser." Lasgard leaned back in the chair, gently stroking the obedient mecha nerve belt in front of him: "If you don't believe me, wait until the fourth day, who can win?" Keep the score below 2000, who is the real master..."
"If we keep the score below 2,000 points in the first three days of the competition," Gavin sat by the campfire, concentrating on flipping the roasted hare in his hand: "On the fourth day, basically we will win."
He casually grabbed a handful of spices and sprinkled them on the roasted hare. The oily meat gave out a tempting burnt aroma, and Dean's eyes straightened.
They kept trekking in the afternoon of the first day of the race. The route pointed out by Gavin was very correct, and they did not encounter any opponents on the way. In the evening, they came out of the mechs and started camping, preparing water and dinner, and Dean went hunting without hesitation.
This is actually quite normal—Alpha, of course, must seize every opportunity to show his ability as a male, and provide Omega with rich food and strong protection, so as to increase the chance of finding a mate. You see, when the female is in heat, the male beast still knows how to build a nest, grab a food, and display his hunting ability to please his mate. This is completely an instinct written in the biological DNA.
Dean went there full of ambition, Gavin sent him off very calmly, and stayed where he was to build a fire and boil water.
As a result, Dean came back an hour later, out of breath. Although his expression was sullen, his eyes were shining with unconcealable pride—he actually dragged back a large antelope that weighed several hundred kilograms!
With huge curved horns, a majestic oryx like a mountain of meat!
"It's all yours!" Dean dragged the antelope towards Gavin and said proudly, "Eat it!"
"..." Gavin was dumbfounded, and asked in a trembling voice for a long while, "Thank... thank you?"
As a qualified Alpha, Omega must not be allowed to do the heavy work by himself, so Dean dragged the big antelope to the river to deal with it.
Gavin silently watched him work hard, ten minutes passed... half an hour passed... an hour passed... the sun gradually turned to the west, tired birds returned to their nests, and crows uttered "quack-quack-" calls. Classmate Dean, who was in full swing, flew over his head.
"..." Gavin finally got up silently and walked towards the woods. He casually touched two stones on the way and held them in his hands.
Ten minutes later, when he came out again, he was holding two fat and tender hares in his left hand, a handful of herbs in his right hand, and a pack of wild berries in his pocket—there was dinner at last.
Gavin killed two hares with a dagger, drained the blood, dug out the internal organs and buried them in the soil, wrapped them in leaves and roasted them on the fire. The first wild rabbit was very fat, and it was sprinkled with freshly picked herbs, and the oily aroma soon spread to the river. Dean turned around after sniffing the smell, and immediately didn't take his eyes out.
"Let's eat," Gavin said calmly, "Stop playing."
Dean: "…"
Dean finally discovered that he had become an Alpha who relied on Omega to hunt and take care of him!
Why are you still alive! Why don't you go crash to death!
Dean's face was numb, and he subconsciously took a bite of the hare. In the next second, he suddenly found that the meat was so tender that his mouth was full of oil, and the frustration that he had never felt before smashed the heart of glass into shards: "How... how did you do it?!"
"Talent." Gavin shrugged and tore the second hare in half and handed it to him.
Poor student Dean's three views have been destroyed: half a year ago, he still thought that Omega is a delicate creature that needs to be taken care of by people. Beside the campfire, enjoying the prey brought by Omega, I feel ashamed in my heart that the rabbit meat is delicious.
Dean's not feeling well.
"It's nothing, it's just roasting casually." Gavin said disapprovingly while warming up the fire: "If you join the army in the future and go to other planets with the army for field training, then you will know that everyone will do it... Some generals barbecue The technology is still very good, and I can cook for myself.”
Dean lowered his head and gnawed on the rabbit meat, and asked sullenly for a while, "Gavin."
"Ok?"
"Actually, your home belongs to the military department, right?"
Gavin was taken aback, "Why do you ask that?"
"Except for a few high-ranking families in the military department, there is probably no one who can train an Omega child like you and send it to a military academy—and you are more familiar with mechas than I am. How can you train to this level with money spent on equipment?"
He smiled wryly again, shook his head and said, "It's not incomprehensible that senior military officials don't want their children to be sent to places like the Omega Protection Association, given inhibitors and sent to military schools... But I wonder who dares to mark you , is it also from the military department?"
Gavin was silent.
Dean looked up at him with deep loss in his eyes: "Is it a very powerful Alpha?"
"..."
"I don't have any other intentions, I just want to... want to know. I will become a very powerful Alpha in the future, if one day you are willing to accept it..."
"Dean," Gavin interrupted him embarrassedly: "I really only like girls."
Dean once again experienced the sense of chaos of thunderbolts, this time he froze for thirty seconds, and finally remembered an important point: "Wait! Do you mean Alpha, or Beta, or... "
"Omega, of course," Gavin said confidingly, "Actually, I just don't like being oppressed."
There was a bang and thunder struck, and Dean was almost knocked out of his wits.
One Omega says he doesn't like being oppressed, he wants to oppress another Omega...
-what is this! What exactly is this! What a heresy! I bought a watch last year! No no, when I met such an Omega, I must have bought all the watches in the world last year!
Dean was stunned. He stared at Gavin's innocent face for a while, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart: "What's the matter with the Alpha that marked you?"
"Oh, I was bitten by accident." Gavin touched his neck calmly: "Anyway, it will be gone after a while, let it go."
He waved his hand indifferently, his expression full of disapproval.
It stands to reason that this attitude is a good thing for other Alphas, but Dean is not happy at all. Compared to the fact that "a sweet Omega is marked by other Alphas", "a sweet Omega likes to crush another sweet Omega" is like a brand new door slowly opening in front of Dean, behind which there are endless darkness and abyss.
Why did this happen... Dean was so desperate that the whole world was lost.
Dean tossed and turned for a long time when he slept that night, wondering vaguely whether he really wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and only closed his eyes dimly in the middle of the night.
Gavin was always calm, dragged the technician cabin out of the mecha, and quickly fell asleep next to the campfire.
As a result, this sleep was destined to be unstable. In the early morning, Gavin suddenly woke up from his sleep and felt someone walking around outside the technician cabin; "Bang!" There was a sound.
someone!
Gavin's pupils constricted, and the hatch door was suddenly pried open by some kind of metal tool in the next second!
As soon as the cold air poured in, before Gavin had time to get up, someone stabbed his neck with a knife: "Don't move! Get up!"
Under the moonlight, there were several people standing around, all in jungle uniforms, with masks covering their faces tightly. The man who came to Gavin with a knife looked very fierce, picked him up by his hair, and handcuffed him with a "click".
"It's just the two of them," someone whispered from behind.
Gavin wanted to look back at Dean, but the moment he moved, he was hit hard by the blade: "Don't move! Do you hear me?!"
Gavin's throat hurt sharply, and he stopped immediately. After a while, only the sound of footsteps came from behind, and then someone asked: "Is it all done?"
"Well, that group over there is also done."
"Okay, tell them to gather at the original location." Stepping from far to near, I saw a kidnapper with a leader walking past Gavin, without even looking back, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Take these two first." Walk!"
