Volume 7: Abandoned Sandstone City Chapter 333 "Where's the gun?"
The two mechas fell off the spiral tower together and landed just outside the light curtain.
"Fuck!" The ace pilot of the Angres Club couldn't help but spit out a curse word. Although he was unharmed sitting in the cockpit, the signal transmitter on his body had been triggered, which meant that he was out of the game along with his armor. Even if his teammates could find the "resurrection beacon", they couldn't call him back to the game.
Originally, with the reaction ability of the ace pilot, he had a chance to abandon his armor and escape before landing, but the "Jungle Scout" locked on his body directly blocked the cockpit door with its body, and he couldn't even eject the entire cockpit - new frames rarely have emergency escape hatches on the back for the defensive performance of the cockpit, and the "Jungle Scout" is one of the few frames within the rules that retains this "old design".
"Damn it! Damn it... I was eliminated in this way..." He raised his fist and slammed the fire button hard, but there was no response - even the anti-infantry machine gun embedded in the frame had been dismantled. Facing this kind of opponent who was like a street fight with thugs and had no martial ethics at all, even if he was an ace pilot, he had no way to deal with it.
The recovery ship slowly floated above the spiral tower. The hatch at the bottom opened, and several mechanical arms lowered down, grabbing the two bodies that were still hugging each other, and slowly rose up.
"What? The captain was eliminated? What's going on? What happened? Did that woman get here so quickly?" In order to be completely fair, the eliminated contestants will have all communications with their teammates cut off . It is for this reason that the two pilots in the tower have no idea what has just happened on the top of the tower. The only information they can get is that they are the only two left in the team.
The two machines were thrown into disarray and were forced to retreat repeatedly by the stones thrown by Ke Lan. Asano Akira, holding a sword in one hand and a kamikaze forged with Nino alloy in the other, climbed down the outer wall of the spiral tower like a spider.
At this time, Ke Lan's second step in the battle plan: he attracted the attention of the remaining two people, while Asano Akira went around the back alone to destroy the enemy's body - they were all blank frames, with neither outer armor protection nor standard anti-infantry weapons. Even if Asano Akira was not familiar with the structure of the mecha, he could still swing his sword to chop at the exposed pipes and cables.
Ke Lan has always believed that Asano Akira's extraordinary hearing may have nothing to do with his ears. Instead, it is closer to an omnipotent perception ability, especially in combat. No matter how noisy the environment is or how many interfering sound sources there are, he can still hear the slight sound made by the friction between the rubber casings outside the cable, and thus accurately locate the target of the attack. If he didn't say it himself, no one would be able to tell that he was a blind man just by looking at this battle video.
Perhaps it was good luck, with the first blow, Asano Akira cut off the main power transmission pipe located at the opponent's lower back. The arms of the machine were still waving to block the stones, but the movement of the lower body suddenly stopped. This incoordination caused him to lose balance in an instant, and he fell to one side, with most of his body falling into the light curtain.
"Well done! There's only one left!" Ke Lan shouted. He had finally thrown all the stones at hand. He simply drew out his combat dagger and rushed towards the only remaining opponent - this guy was already confused. Asano Akira's movements were fast and his target was small. This contestant from the Angres Club didn't even notice that a human had bypassed their two mechas. After realizing that his teammates were attacked from behind, his first reaction was that the terrifying woman was back.
He was a substitute player for the Angres Club. He did not play against Valentina in the opening match. However, the teammate whose skin was burnt black and cracked and exuded the unique smell of burnt protein was carried away by medical staff in front of him. That tragic scene still lingers in his mind...
Compared with pilots like Valentina who come from the military, professional mecha competitors like them who have never been on the battlefield have much poorer psychological endurance.
Ke Lan effortlessly stabbed through the guy's main monitor with his dagger, and then kicked him into the light curtain.
It was two against three, and their ace pilot did not participate in the battle, but they wiped out the Angres Club, including an ace pilot, at the cost of only losing one machine. Even Alex, who had seen many upsets, was speechless for a while.
"Director... Director, replay the battle scene just now! Cut the camera to the back of the two Angres machines... Oh my god! I just noticed now that the second machine was destroyed by the contestant Asano Akira who escaped! What is that in his hand? Is it a Japanese samurai sword? The samurai sword cuts the mecha... Am I seeing right?!"
Throughout the stadium, there are small drones everywhere for monitoring the game, and the game images seen are also transmitted to the Internet through these small drones.
"Could it be... Could it be that contestant Asano Akira is the secret ace of the God Hunters? But as far as I know, his mecha pilot's license is just the M5 level which just meets the competition threshold... As for the driving time, it's only a pitifully short sixty hours..." Alex exclaimed while grabbing the microphone.
"Hey, let me tell you..." The hound sitting on the sofa crossed his legs, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear, "If this guy knew that Asano Akira got his M5 driver's license by paying for connections, and that he didn't even have six hours of actual driving time, let alone sixty hours, his expression would definitely be even more interesting, right?"
"I don't know if it will be more exciting, but Asano Akira should be suspended." Chi Hanfeng folded his arms and said seriously.
"Alas, Lao Chi, you are really rigid. You can't even understand a joke. It's boring... It's okay to cooperate with your troops, but chatting with you is boring, really boring." The Hound said a little depressed.
…
"Maybe he doesn't even need a mecha..." Alex still hasn't recovered from the shock, "He is actually a humanoid mecha. I even began to wonder if they were planning to have Asano Akira abandon the mecha and fight on foot from the beginning... This is really crazy!"
…
At the same time, inside the stadium, Valentina finally arrived at the Spiral Tower and reunited with Ke Lan.
Although she was also surprised that Ke Lan and his team had wiped out the Angres Club, due to her personality, she did not show it in words or expressions. She just gave the two of them a thumbs up with her mecha.
"Where's the gun?" Ke Lan looked at her Valkyrie, which was still a blank skeleton. Not only was it not equipped with any weapons, but it didn't even have any new accessories.
"There are no guns. That supply point only has a set of light modular armor and a small amount of energy crystals. I was worried that you couldn't hold on, so I didn't equip you and came here directly." Valentina said.
