Chapter 58: Small Talk
Rushing into the institute, Antonia rolled forward, then turned sharply and pointed her gun out the door.
As Renault entered, the gunfire outside suddenly stopped.
After a moment, Antonia put away her gun: "You're right, they won't come in." ”
Renault asked with a sigh of relief, although he was very sure that they would not come in, but he was still a little nervous at that moment.
He said, "Then we can go with peace of mind now?" ”
"Quite the opposite." Antonia suddenly turned on the shaped cannon, and a light flashed on the muzzle, and at the same time, the two guns in her hands were aimed at Renault.
"What do you mean by that?" Renault was stunned.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask what the hell is going on." Antonia said.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Antonia made an exaggerated expression: "Ha! Are you thinking of me as a fool? There's no way those people don't rush in for no reason. There must be a reason for this! ”
"Even if it is?" Renault asked rhetorically: "Then do you have a reason to tear up the agreement and attack me?" ”
Antonia was stunned.
Only then did she remember that she had an agreement with Renault that in this game, she would only be a comrade-in-arms and not an enemy.
Renault grabbed Antonia's gun and pushed it aside: "If you're not going to shoot, don't use it to target your allies." ”
With that, he pushed Antonia away and walked towards the institute.
Looking at his back, Antonia was stunned, and finally followed him towards the institute.
The institute is underground, so the stairs spiral all the way down.
The cave was pitch black, and Renault, who was walking in front, turned on the light and shone it on the ground: "Finally, they didn't ban the lighting function." How much ammo do you have left? ”
"Three boxes of 20-millimeter armor-piercing burst shells, fourteen missiles, and three percent of the energy." Antonia replied angrily.
She had plenty of ammo, but she had almost no energy.
"I have one box of nine-millimeter bullets left, two missiles, twelve shells, and twenty-one percent of the energy," Renault said. ”
In contrast to Antonia, Renault had a serious ammunition depletion, but the energy situation was acceptable. Moreover, he turned on the five-layer energy generator, and the energy recovery speed was also faster than Antonia's.
At this moment, he directly extracted five percent of the mecha's energy and put it in the energy box and handed it to Antonia.
Antonia took it in surprise: "Why did you give me this?" There's no need to fight here. ”
Renault looked at the ceiling overhead and said in a way that was close to himself: "The rooms here are very high, the stairs are large, and the layout is much larger than the traditional one, because only in this way can the mecha come in." ”
Antonia didn't care and said, "Mecha competition, of course, it has to be suitable for mechas." ”
Renault ignored her and continued to mutter, "The buildings here are also very strong, and they are all made of superalloy. The four mechs fired at the institute together, but failed to knock it down. ”
Antonia's face finally changed.
She knew too well that it would cost more to build such a research institute, and it would be okay if it was just to build it bigger, but it was a superalloy casting...... This means that it is by no means a decent.
"What do you mean......"
The light of the Silverwinged Angel hit an alloy gate in the depths.
The door is closed.
"I think we'd better rest on the spot before we open that door to refuel and ammunition," Reynolds said. ”
"I'm okay with that." Antonia did not contradict it for the first time, and she finally realized that she may be better than Renault in terms of technology, but she may be much worse than Renault in terms of tactical analysis.
The two of them sat down on the spot together, and the production system inside the mech was constantly producing ammunition and energy.
Antonia hugged her knees, sat for a while, and then suddenly said, "How did you do that?" ”
"What?" Renault didn't understand.
"The trick you used to kill that mech, Troff Twist."
Renault sighed: "The control system of the Silverwinged Angel is a little different from the general system, it has been strengthened in some ways, and weakened in some aspects. ”
"Custom-made?"
"Yes, like yours."
Antonia's mecha is also specially customized, extremely flexible, accurate shooting, is the most flexible mecha Renault has ever seen, and he is not sure that he can win against Antonia in normal combat. However, in this narrow terrain, Scarlet Widow's advantage is not easy to use.
"What has been weakened?" Antonia asked.
To be honest, this question is a bit taboo, it is equivalent to exposing his weakness in front of hundreds of millions of people, but Renault thought about it and replied: "The stability of control." If we compare the performance of the average mech to 3-5, 8-10 and the like, then the Silverwinger is 1-7.6-12. ”
It was only at this moment that everyone suddenly realized.
"That's why you stumble on your first appearance?" Antonia asked.
Renaud smiled: "I was nervous, and there was one thing that Lilith host said right, and that was that I was indeed a rookie...... This is the first time I've officially fought with a mech. ”
"But it doesn't mean that you like this review, you hate her, so you rejected her so much?"
"Ugh." Renault let out a low groan, then shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with revenge, it's just that I already have a girl I like." ”
"Oh!" There was a burst of boos and loud laughter outside the venue.
In this moment of fire, it is rare to have such a quiet place, and it is also a good spice to hear some players talk about emotional matters.
Antonia also smiled, and she was like a competent paparazzi, and asked, "Can you tell me who it is?" Your classmates? ”
There is a trap in Antonia's question, which is that if Renault admits it, it means that he admits that he is a student. Considering his previous performance, almost everyone would have guessed that he was a cadet of the Alpha Military Academy.
So Renault shook his head: "You can't be from a media group, right?" ”
Antonia smiled: "Of course not, but I do have some media groups under my family's name. ”
There are a number of media conglomerates......
Renault was speechless by this answer.
Not only Renault, but everyone lost their voices.
Sister, you're not here to show off your wealth, are you?
With so much money, what are you doing here to participate in the mecha competition?
Or the most dangerous game of this kind.
As if to see Renault's doubts, Antonia smiled and said, "I'm dying." ”
"Huh?" Renault was stunned.
"It's Down syndrome." Antonia said.
Hearing this word, Renault's heart was also shocked.
This is a special disease caused by the virus, and the middle person will not show any symptoms in the early stage, but will be energetic and highly developed in the brain. However, in the middle stage, muscle weakness and dizziness often occur. In the later stages, patients often experience breathing difficulties, tinnitus, and eventually die of heart failure. Since the original discoverer was the Tang family in the Tianhua Star Domain, it was named Down syndrome.
There is no cure for Down syndrome.
It's also interesting.
Technology is advancing, viruses are developing, no matter how human technology develops, even the galaxy can fly freely, but there are always things that they cannot conquer.
In human society, there are always some terminal diseases that human beings cannot overcome, or new terminal diseases are born after overcoming.
This is the case with Down syndrome, which may be overcome in 200 years, but obviously not now.
Renault asked, "Early?" Medium term? ”
"Late." Antonia replied softly.
Renault was shocked again, which meant that Antonia's time was running out.
"I don't want to die like this, so I'm here to compete, to prove myself with my gun, to prove that I've been in this world, to prove that I've lived...... Prove that I've been strong. ”
Renaud looked at Antonia and said seriously: "Of course, you will become the woman who stands at the peak of this mecha, and you will make everyone remember you!" ”
Seeing Renault's serious expression through the cockpit window, Antonia suddenly laughed: "I lied to you, just make up a story and you will believe it?" ”
Antonia smiled back and forth, as if she was glad that she had managed to trick Renault.
Reynolds' expression darkened.
Seeing his appearance, Antonia exclaimed, "Hey, hey, don't do this, it's just a joke." You don't need any extra reason to participate in the Mech Tournament, it's enough to like the feeling of fighting, right? ”
Antonia winked at Renault, then she stood up and said, "I'm almost rested, I can go in." ”
