Chapter Seventy-One: The Battle Front

>,!

After putting the tank bug on the menu, the duo's appetite suddenly improved.

They wandered around with Shelter Two as the center.

This is a good time to brush up on points, most of the Zerg have not yet merged, and occasionally some Zerg have merged, and they can cope with the strength of the two.

They kill the most bugs at the least cost and get the most points. During this period, Renault even exploded once and found a resource supply box. It was a surprise that the supply crates were still found even though the tournament was already on its final day. In addition to a little energy and ammo, there is also an unlocker in the chest.

Use this unlocker to unlock a piece of equipment that doesn't cost more than three points. Since it's the third day, it also takes nine points to unlock such a piece of equipment.

Renault used it to unlock the radio grid.

This is a kind of combat auxiliary equipment, which can throw a net made of conductive electromagnetism, usually used to capture living animals, and occasionally can also be used to break the back, trap opponents, etc., and there is a controllable strong current on the net, which can paralyze the target. The normal size of the net is about the same as that of a normal fishing net, but it can be further extended and enlarged, but the larger the release, the lower the fastness.

Renault chose it mainly because of its powerful binding effect, although it is not lethal, but the auxiliary combat is still quite good.

Of course, it also depends on what target it is used against, if it is used to deal with a big guy like the tank bug, it will easily tear up the power grid. In the class introduced by the Zerg, the teacher of the academy emphasized this point in particular, and the vast majority of restricted weapons of the human race have no effect on this kind of big guy.

However, it is not bad to use it against Velocitors and the like, and Renault chose it not to deal with Velocitors, but to deal with the lurkers, that is, the bugs with the highest ranking on the Zerg list.

It's not that he wants to hunt the lurkers, but the previous encounter with the Tank Bug made Renault realize that there are some things that you don't want to encounter and won't encounter. So to be on the safe side, Renault took out an insurance.

Over the next few years, Renaud and Antonia hunted more than a dozen Velocitors, marching ants, and a fire-breathing bug. This fire-breathing insect that can travel underground is similar in size to the tank bug, but it does not have the same strong defense as the tank bug, and can spit out ferocious flames. Renault and Antonia teamed up, and it took a lot of effort to kill it.

It's a pity that when they were ready to deal with the tank bug, they couldn't find the tank bug.

As time passed, Renault and Antonia gradually lost their way to finding a lone bug, and more and more bugs began to gather together and make an impact on the crowd, and from time to time they would see mecha flying high and rushing in the direction of the shelter lock.

However, at this time, most of the players are interested in not attacking each other - there is no need for anyone to make trouble for themselves at this time.

Of course, there are also those who are not interesting.

A guy ran up to him, and when he saw Renault, he raised his hand and hit it. No one knows what he was thinking at the time, but it turned out that he was unsurprisingly put down by Renault and Antonia.

The next moment, unexpectedly, about seven or eight giant cockroaches rushed over.

These giant cockroaches are about three meters long, and they attack their targets by spitting out a green corrosive liquid mass that even the mecha energy shield will quickly decay after encountering this corrosion.

Renaud and Antonia had to retreat, and then they saw the swarm of bugs pounce on the fallen hapless bastard.

The mechman screamed desperately to break free from the pack of cockroaches, but he couldn't do it in his heyday, let alone in this situation. Seeing the cockroaches attacking frantically, tearing at the body's armor, Renault couldn't help but want to rush forward. But Antonia pulled him back: "Get out of here, we can't beat so many bugs!" ”

"But he's dying, and we hurt him!"

"It was a choice he made!" Antonia shouted unceremoniously: "Everyone has to learn to take responsibility for their actions, we have done nothing wrong, either he falls or we fall." Come on! ”

Antonia pulled him and ran.

Renault kept looking back.

In the last moments of departure, he saw the swarm tear through the mech's armor and pull the player out of the cockpit. The contestant wailed desperately, watching the worms eat him bite by bite......

Renault was silent.

When I came, I didn't think that there would be this kind of thing. But when all this was really happening in front of him, Renault still felt overwhelmingly unbearable.

He wanted to vomit, but he couldn't, he just felt like the world was spinning.

Antonia helped him to sit down: "Hey, cheer up a little and breathe harder." It's nothing, don't act like a rookie who hasn't been on the battlefield. ”

Renault shook his head: "This is not a battlefield, and there is no such thing as shooting at teammates on the battlefield." We've just killed a human being, you know? I know he fired the gun first, but he didn't necessarily mean to kill us, he probably just habitually made a mistake that he didn't deserve to pay the price of. Renault sighed.

"Maybe, but this is a survival challenge, mortality is allowed, everyone who comes here is mentally prepared, and besides, there are fewer people who have died so far...... I see, in fact, you don't care about his death, you just can't accept that his death has something to do with you, right? ”

Renault was stunned, thought about it and nodded: "This makes me feel like a murderer, and of course there is that way of death, which is very disgusting." ”

Antonia smiled: "It's uncomfortable, but it's going to get used to it." ”

Renault took a deep breath: "Thank you for the comfort, I feel better now." ”

"So what do we do next?" Antonia asked.

Renault stood up: "The Zerg have begun to merge, and we are also retreating in the direction of the shelter. ”

In the face of the combined forces of the Zerg, human beings can only fight if they unite together.

What will be followed will be a rare human joint battle scenario, which will transform the game from a group battle to a large-scale war mode - as the final final, bringing different excitement to the audience in a single game is exactly what the organizers are looking for.

The two began to retreat in the direction of the shelter.

They came to stand near the shelter, where more than a dozen players had gathered, and 66 new players were still coming. For the first time, the contestants did not attack each other after meeting.

Despite this, from the eyes of everyone, there is no trust in each other, but they are wary of each other.

The mission never requires everyone to get through the difficult times together, to be in the same boat, to remain rivals, to make a temporary peace only to deal with a greater threat, but no one knows who will be inexplicably guilty of two.

In this case, Renault laid down his weapon, walked over as calmly as possible, and said, "Temporary union? ”

"Hmph."

"Are there any rules?" Renault saw that so many people had come, and there should have been some agreement.

A gray-black mecha replied: "Rule 1: Everyone must not attack each other, and if there is a violator, they will attack collectively." Rule 2: Hit yourself as much as possible, don't rush if you have nothing to do. Rule 3: If you need help, you must say hello first, and don't rescue without permission before the other party does not say hello, otherwise it is easy to be understood as grabbing points, and it is easy to cause accidental injury. That's all there is to it. ”

Renault noticed that it was a Storm Mecha.

His heart condensed slightly, he didn't know how the other party got this mecha, but it meant that the other party was likely to unlock it all.

Pretending not to see anything, Renault thought for a while and said: "Add one, all mechs must indicate and turn off the weapon system before entering the shelter to avoid someone sneaking up before entering the shelter, if you really want that, it is useless to shoot collectively." ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads together.

A provisional agreement is made for all entrants.

This agreement is not perfect, there are still many problems, even the validity period of the agreement, let alone notarization and legal protection. It's like a string that holds everyone together and holds them together, but any movement can break the rope, and no one has a choice.

Renault and Antonia silently walked to the corner of the battle line and waited for the arrival of the Zerg.
