Chapter 43: Searching

The unmanned shuttle flew Renault into the depths of Dead Island.

Sitting in the cabin, Renault was thinking about the ten rules that the host had just said.

There is no doubt that each of these rules has its own special meaning. In order to make the game more exciting, the Storm Group will test them in different ways, make it difficult for them, and let them fight and fight in various ways.

Jetpack scramble exemplifies this line of thinking, and although it's a small scramble, it means that the fight is everywhere.

Only by understanding this can we understand the meaning behind those rules.

For example, Rule Five.

Although the organizers demanded that the contestants who got the mecha first should not attack the contestants who did not get the mecha, nor could they destroy the mecha, they deliberately left a loophole, which was food.

The rules don't say that you can't take food that is placed in a mech.

This may be the reason why you can find mechs faster than everyone else, not only to have more time to hunt points, but also to take other people's food. After all, everyone only has one day's food, which means that they need to get food from at least two opponents to meet their needs for three days.

No one is stupid, and in this case, the contestants will not keep their food for too long, and the practice of keeping food until the last minute does not work in the current form, so the vast majority of food will be consumed on the first day. In this case, finding the mecha quickly and stealing other people's food as soon as possible becomes the best choice.

As for those who lose food, don't worry, they at least still have mechas, and there is also the opportunity to get food by defeating the opponent, and the early disadvantage is not defeat.

This makes the battle fierce from the start, but it does not make many elite old birds lose their chances because of the unfavorable situation in the first place.

It can be said that the organizers have also tried their best to make the competition fierce and exciting.

After thinking about this, Renault already knew what to do.

Standing in the hatch, he pulled out the map, which was the only thing all the contestants were allowed to carry. There is a red mark on the map that represents the user's location, moving forward as the user moves, and the target is the very center of the island.

This is also the inevitable choice of almost every participant, after all, only by landing from there can the whole island be the most secure.

But Renault doesn't think so, he knows one thing, and that is that the race has begun.

Another problem with landing at the center point is that the chances of encounters are bound to increase dramatically, and all sorts of fights ensue.

Again, the fifth rule: Contestants who have obtained mechs are not allowed to do anything to contestants who have not obtained mechs.

In the same way, when everyone doesn't have a mecha, the frame is casually hit.

Fighting before getting a mech means wasting time, energy, and precious energy in your backpack.

In this case, Renault thought it might be more appropriate to choose a non-central location.

The key question is, where to choose?

If you choose the right one, you will be closer to the Silverwing, which means that you will get the mech faster than others.

But if you land at the wrong place and the distance is farther, it means that the shuttle qualification you have obtained so hard to get is wasted.

So, is there any trick to the drop points?

Looking at the map, Renault fell into thought.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

According to the host, the tracker will only activate when it leaves the shuttle and comes to the ground.

However, the venue is at the easternmost end of Death Island, and the outside of the venue belongs to the Death Island competition area.

After failing to compete for a shuttle, the six hundred contestants had to rely on jetpacks to enter the competition area and search for mechs.

This means that they will actually light up the tracker faster than the contestants on the shuttle!

This also means that the mecha must never be placed near the venue, otherwise there is no point in competing for shuttles.

So how big is this area where it's impossible to place mechs?

In accordance with the principle that the participants who board the shuttle must have more advantages than the competitors who do not board, when the shuttle participants come to the center area and land, they must be closer to the mech than those who do not board. The jetpack flies at a quarter of the speed of the shuttle, and by the time the shuttle reaches the center area, the jetpack has already flown three-quarters of the way from the center. Considering the common radiation range, it is almost certain that this area where it is impossible to place mechs should occupy the entire eastern part of the island, almost a third of the position.

This means that most of the mecha should be in the western part of the island.

So the real center point of the landing should move west.

He smiled at the thought of this.

Then he gave instructions to the shuttle: "Correct the landing point and continue to fly westward, with the western center of the island as the new landing point." Activate the photography system and shoot along the way. ”

Although Renault already has a map in his hand, there are some things that the map will not give.

"When you receive an order, execute it immediately." The shuttle intelligent system replies.

Hearing this, Renault smiled.

He searched everywhere and soon found a stealthy electronic eye in the cabin.

It was clear that even in the cabin, his every move was watched by everyone.

Renault smiled at the electronic eye, then he held out his middle finger.

"Roar!" The audience shouted together.

"Clever boy, I like it!" In front of the big screen, I don't know how many viewers let out such a shout.

The shuttle that received the order did not stop after flying over the center of the island, and continued to fly forward.

When the shuttle arrived at the new landing point, Renault did not jump out of the cabin, but stood at the hatch and looked down for a while, and then he continued to order: "Correct the command, take the center as the origin, and fly around." Go ahead and shoot and download all the pictures to my terminal. When he said this, a smile appeared on Renault's lips.

Yes, he's already found another benefit of grabbing the shuttle.

Who said that the shuttle is only used to take people over, its real role is aerial photography, through aerial photography can grasp the situation around the island in the shortest possible time. According to the ten rules given by the host, in addition to hiding mechas, there are also a lot of resources on the island.

The tracker does not provide the location of the resource point, so all participants must find it on their own. So how do you find resource points? Shuttles are the best way to do it.

Of course, due to time constraints, it is impossible for Renault to let the shuttle search the whole island, but this does not prevent him from collecting a certain range of intelligence in the western core area.

"When you receive an order, execute it immediately."

At this moment, the shuttle gave a cold reply again, and began to fly around the center point.

One by one, the pictures were taken and downloaded to Renault's terminal, and Renault began to flip through them quickly. The Military Academy has a special military map analysis course, and an excellent student can analyze the favorable terrain in a map in the shortest possible time and memorize all the important contents. In the same pictures, where the viewer only sees large areas of mountains and forests, the landscape, Renault sees the topography and the various resources under the camouflage - probably for the convenience of the contestants, all the camouflage is rudimentary.

After tagging the various resources he had found, Renault saw that the orbit was large enough for the shuttle to return to its previous midpoint and leap off the plane. When it was a certain distance from the ground, the tracker began to glow, indicating that Renault's mech was in the southwest corner, not far away.

Renault adjusted his direction and flew in the direction of the mech, but instead of flying in a straight line, he made a circle, and after coming to the top of a dense forest, he fell, brushing away the dead grass and branches covering it, revealing a huge mech below.

The mecha is naturally not his, but I don't know which contestant, but it was discovered by Renault during the inspection just now, those camouflages are not clever, leaving many flaws, it should be deliberately left so that people can find out, after all, the mecha is the most important.

Renault stopped by on the way to get the mecha. According to the rules, he can't destroy the mech, but he can take the food from the mech.

The food was placed in front of the mech's cockpit.

In this way, his mecha has not been found, and Renault gets a piece of food first.

"Well done!" Everyone was already shouting.

Although there have been people who have done similar things before Renault, they are all happened to encounter, and it is the first one that has been consciously arranged by Renault.

Just flew all the way towards his mecha, Renault got two more portions of food one after another, and in this way, the mission had just begun, and Renault had completely solved the food problem.

Finally, Renault came to his mech. Removing the disguise, the Silverwinged Angel was lying there quietly.
