Chapter 47: The Hunt (II)
After defeating this opponent, Renault collected the loot as usual, and sure enough, he found four battle axes. Removing the Renault self-launched, two more were earned. Other than that, some ammunition, a piece of food.
Unfortunately, due to the depletion of energy, Renault could no longer absorb a single amount of energy from his opponent.
Considering its own consumption, this battle is basically a situation of earning ammunition and losing energy, although overall it is still earned, but the profit is much worse than before.
Renault doesn't care, it's good to have profits, and when the time comes, it's basically a loss, and some of them will cry when the time comes.
Let's grab more points now.
Seeing that there was no one around, Renault had returned to the mountain to continue to hunt for snakes and lizards, and as for the mecha, naturally the organizer sent someone to pick it up. After confirming the exit, all mechs and their pilots must remain in place and cannot be moved, otherwise they will be deemed to have interfered with the game and will be severely punished.
Gunshots rang out again on the hill, one after another, hunting snakes and lizards, and attracting new contestants.
Soon new contestants arrived.
However, this time it was obviously better than the previous one, and no resource points were found.
As he swung his lightsaber and spewed a storm of steel as he rushed in, he was greeted by a thick electron cannon.
At that moment, the only thought that flooded the loser's mind was: How could it be? How is this possible? He must be cheating!
This is also a rare period of benign development and high-speed development of Renault.
Guarding this hunting ground, he desperately hunted snakes and lizards, sniped his opponents, relied on his powerful firepower to defeat them one by one, and collected the spoils.
Of course, not all of them will choose to come up and get in trouble with Renault - some people really just come to kill snakes and lizards.
For this kind of contestant, Renault is not very concerned about himself, just delineate the chassis and ask others to leave.
Anyway, he has occupied this good place.
Most chose to leave.
There are also a few who want to grab territory, and Renault does not show weakness.
He is like a lion cub who firmly defends his turf and defeats every pretender who is eyeing him or his turf.
Six hours later, Renault had taken out the seventy-two-headed snake lizard and defeated seven competitors, plus the previous two, for a total of 23.4 points. Renault didn't know what that would count against the entire crowd of participants, but he was confident that it wouldn't be bad.
At the same time, he also had eight more portions of food in his hand, and one foodie had already eaten all his food for the whole day.
However, there was no significant increase in ammunition, the number of Tomahawk missiles dropped from the peak of 12 to the current six, 9 mm ammunition was empty, half a box of 20 mm high-explosive ammunition remained, there were several more boxes of 12 mm and 18 mm ammunition, and some throwing high-explosive grenades were also harvested.
Energy has plummeted, from 62 percent at its peak to only 28 percent now.
Although this "leftover" still has a lot more energy than most of the contestants now, Renault still feels a huge need for energy.
I'll have to go to the merchant to buy something again.
Buying something from a merchant is actually a gamble, and you have to make sure that your investment will bring you more benefits. If you don't achieve this goal, for example, if you spend twenty points on resources and only earn fifteen points, it will be more than worth the loss. What's more, he may encounter an opponent who has strengthened himself like him, and if he accidentally loses in the end, he will lose all his money. Rather than buying it, even if you lose and leave, you can still keep at least four points, and if it's the third day, you can keep sixteen points, which means you may have to beat sixteen opponents to earn it.
Despite all the risks, Renault intends to continue unlocking. Because he doesn't understand, there are others who may understand, as time goes by, more and more contestants gain points, and there will inevitably be a group of powerful characters after unlocking. The best thing to do to maintain your previous lead is to unlock it twice.
It's an endless cycle, and even if you regain an advantage in firepower and equipment by doing so, Renault will lose valuable points, which may not be cost-effective. But Renault decided to do it anyway.
The reason he chose this was simple, because he remembered Dandy Bag.
Dandy Bagh says that true warriors are not afraid to fight. If he were here, maybe he wouldn't have considered the meaning of points at all, ranking him is worthless, only war is eternal!
Renault couldn't do that kind of madness, but he at least knew what a true will to fight was.
It's not that I won't retreat, but at least for now, it's not time for me to retreat!
With three hours to go until sunset, Renault plans to wait until the last hour to find Abbithius to earn more points. However, Renault's good fortune apparently ran out, as the next opponent turned out to be a duo.
After half a day of competition and fighting, the contestants began to move from fighting alone to uniting with each other.
This is not an easy task, and the building of trust needs to be tested. But it is undeniable that once this combination is completed, the competitiveness will inevitably skyrocket.
So when Renault saw two mechs in the jungle sneaking up on him through the signal receiver, he knew that trouble was coming. Without hesitation, he stepped back and left from the other side. It's too difficult to deal with two at the same time, and the important thing is that even if you win, you will have to pay a lot. In the current situation, people who do not know how to calculate costs will inevitably not go to the end.
But leaving here also meant that he had given up on the vantage point.
Although the snakes and lizards in this area had been almost killed, Renault still felt a heartache and reluctance. He actually wants to find an ally, but an ally needs timing, and it's hard to force it. The vast majority of allies are reached on the premise of equal strength and mutual concern, Renault does not want to be evenly matched with anyone, as long as he still wants to maintain a strong and overwhelming advantage in firepower, it is difficult to have allies.
After leaving the hill, Renault moved into the distance. Having lost his own hunting ground, he had no choice but to find someone else's hunting ground. Interestingly, most of these people were people who had given up competing with him before, and now Renault was about to grab each other instead.
However, this is the reality, it is survival, and it is the law of natural selection.
At that moment, Renault also seemed to understand a little.
He came to a manned hunting ground, completely ignoring the contestant in the distance, set up his gun, and began to search for the snake lizard.
A group of snake lizards wandered over, and two gunshots rang out, one of them falling to the ground, and the other throwing its head back and hissing.
The group of snakes and lizards that blew up the nest angrily searched for the target, and the gunfire from the distance had already sounded one after another, as if it was a race, and soon killed the nest of snakes and lizards.
Even from a great distance, Renault could feel the anger of the contestant.
However, the opponent did not attack, but silently endured it, perhaps he also knew that it was not good for him to fight.
It's just that with Renault's "monster grabbing", his efficiency in hunting snake lizards has decreased significantly. Even the contestant lost more than half. Because Renault used a twenty-millimeter armor-piercing bullet, which was much more powerful than him. This caused Renault to kill a few more of them every time a swarm of snakes appeared.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer snake lizards to be found, the contestant finally became angry. He broke with his strategy of not taking the initiative to attack two days ago, and began to make a detour to Renault's position. With the help of the terrain concealment, he got closer and closer, and gradually, the figure of the Renault mecha finally appeared in his field of vision.
Pointing the gun at Renault, the contestant thought about it but put it down. Although this distance can hit the opponent, it does not have the final effect in the absence of powerful weapons. So he cautiously leaned forward, approaching his target step by step.
The target never turned, which made him more and more bold to bully. Seeing that Renault was fully exposed to range, he raised his gun again.
Just as he was about to shoot, he heard a strange sound. The contestant instantly realized what it was, and his face turned pale: "God! ”
Then the explosion of four spider mines completely engulfed him.
However, just before he fell, he also threw a few high-explosive thunderbolts at Renault.
