Chapter 70

Chapter 70

The next morning, Yu Tang woke up from his perfect pillow fortress.

Shi Ji returned to the dormitory early in the morning.

He had changed into a sophisticated black training uniform today, had packed up the equipment for the exercise, packed his tactical backpack, and was reviewing the Dolphin's docking commands in the living room.

Sensing the fluctuations in the sea of consciousness, Shi Ji's eyes also lit up: "Mr. Yu."

"It's me." Yu Tang yawned and brought the digitized biscuits and milk and transmitted it himself, "How are you preparing?"

Shi Ji answered seriously: "No problem."

His tone was still gentle, but different from the past.Like a seed that finally awakened and sprouted, it broke through the many blocks and revealed some particularly distinctive and tenacious power.

Yu Tang also had a smile in his eyes: "Okay."

Yu Tang circled around in the sea of consciousness. He had discovered that Shi Ji had secretly hidden gifts in various places. He rang the wind chime hanging on the light screen twice: "Thank you very much."

The wind chimes jingled twice happily.

"Don't worry about me this time." Yu Tang said, "I bought the super powerful and invincible motion sickness medicine."

Yu Tang specially ordered a new keyboard. He was not familiar with the process of mobilizing before the game, so he thought for a while: "Just use it as exciting as you want. The more handsome you can fly, the better."

In the last arena match, he was somewhat aware that Shi Ji still retained most of his strength.

Not only because of the restrictions of the anti-OOC program, but also because he was also in Shi Ji's sea of consciousness.

When he took over Shi Ji's body, his feelings at home and abroad were synchronized.The physical load caused by the extreme operations of fighter jets cannot be successfully endured by ordinary people without high-intensity and long-term training.

Not to mention, while Yu Tang is dreaming back to the roller coaster, he also has to deal with a group of anti-OOC programs that keep acting like monsters.

"They promised that one tablet will take effect and you will never feel faint again. One tablet is better than six tablets. It is not guaranteed to be returned or exchanged."

Yu Tang consulted the stores selling motion sickness medicine in the mall and specifically told Shi Ji: "You can rest assured..."

Shi Ji was still listening carefully, but Yu Tang suddenly stopped talking.

After a few seconds, Yu Tang said "Huh".

Shi Ji: "Mr. Yu, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Yu Tang said, "There was a message, I just saw it."

Yu Tang set up a dining table in the sea of consciousness.

There was nothing unusual in his tone. He still followed the usual procedure, put the milk and biscuits away, turned on the light screen connected to the computer, and put them aside for monitoring at any time.

Yu Tang prepared motion sickness medicine and poured himself a glass of water in advance: "Okay, let's go."

Shi Ji responded, picked up his tactical backpack, and walked out of the dormitory.

This special training of the Military Academy directly connected with the entire military region and joined the red camp in the exercise.

The Blues are the most famous special teams team in the league.

The combat environment completely simulates real war, and does not even require controlling the strength of the mecha. It only equips each person with a one-time self-activating protective shield.

This kind of protective shield uses a certain kind of extremely tough synthetic material and is used with a tactical backpack. When encountering a life-threatening danger, it can spontaneously activate in an instant to maximize the safety of the trainees.

Once the protective shield is triggered, the individual will be directly judged to have exited the exercise.

Although new equipment with large-scale lethality is prohibited from real use, it can still emit virtual signals.

If hit by a virtual signal, the mecha will automatically simulate the degree of damage. If more than 90% of the damage is exceeded, it will be regarded as death and the exercise will be terminated.

At the same time, each person is equipped with an exclusive positioning system, a dedicated help button, and a life level detector.If the health level is lower than 20%, it will be judged as losing combat effectiveness and forced to quit the exercise. Triggering the help button is equivalent to giving up.

…

In other words, any situation that would be judged to withdraw from the exercise would mean a real death on the battlefield.

This unusually high intensity has made some people keenly aware of something strange.

"This was not the original plan for docking."

The dean of the mecha major frowned. He put down the exercise summary and looked at Zhuang Yu: "Are there any new changes? If so, they should discuss with us in advance..."

"There are some changes." Zhuang Yu said, "We just received the notice half an hour ago."

The dean of the Mecha Academy was stunned.

This exercise was originally linked to the selection of the special forces. Logically speaking, the special forces should be solely responsible.

If even Zhuang Yu only "received the notice", it means that higher-level military departments are involved in the planning of this exercise.

It was just a selection exercise, so what was so special about it that warranted the military's sudden change of attitude?

The dean of the mecha major felt a little heavy in his heart. He took the new rules handed over by Zhuang Yu and flipped through them at a glance. His expression suddenly changed: "How can you do this?!"

In the new rules given to him by Zhuang Yu, the rule "prohibiting mutual attacks within the same camp" was suddenly deleted.

Not only that, the battlefield will also be reopened, allowing unrestricted entry to those who have failed the selection and assessment.

As long as you can seize the exclusive positioning system of the trainees, it is equivalent to occupying the opponent's selection quota. As long as you get the top three in the exercise, you can also join the special team.

At the same time, the Blue Army will still act as the enemy camp and pursue and intercept them throughout the entire process.

——This new rule has completely divided these trainees, who should have united and jointly resisted the encirclement and suppression by the special forces, into competing opponents.

The dean of the Mecha Academy can almost imagine that scene.

It’s not just the disintegration within the trainees.

Once the battlefield is opened, those who failed to get a quota and are unwilling to stand by will also flock in.

They will target those trainees and rob the positioning system to obtain the trainee's quota.

After getting the quota, they themselves will become new hunting targets.

It was a devastating blow to order.

The dean of the Mecha Academy frowned: "Why do we need to do this kind of disordered selection? The trainees are all the top leaders of the military academy. The young elites selected by each military region should be tempered slowly and not be thrown into this situation all at once.Here. It’s not a war—”

The dean was suddenly startled by his own thoughts.

He looked at Zhuang Yu, his face changed slightly, and he stood silently for a long time before speaking in a very low voice: "What's going on... Is another insect wave coming?"

"It's not clear yet," Zhuang Yu said. "We cannot rule out the possibility that the alliance has received relevant warnings."

The dean did not continue to ask. He frowned and looked at the surveillance screen in the war zone.

Zerg that migrate along fixed routes are not scary.

The alliance has mastered mature prediction technology and will intercept in advance. It can induce them to change direction with only small-scale battles and minimize casualties.

What is really scary is this sudden and huge outbreak of insects without any warning.

The more sudden the insect tide appears, the greater its scale and intensity may be. The disaster caused by this explosive migration is almost devastating.

Of course they hope to give these young elites time and opportunities to grow, but if the war does not give them, then these young people must grow up as quickly as possible.

They will be the last line of defense for the entire galaxy.

"Has the rescue team arranged enough?"

The dean did not argue any further. He put back the new rules issued by the military and looked at Zhuang Yu: "If it is not enough, the military region and college can also help."

Zhuang Yu: "The military sent a professional rescue team."

The dean nodded.

He wanted to say something more, but finally couldn't. He just sighed heavily and looked at the surveillance screen.

The issuance of new regulations also shocked these trainees who had just been released into the war zone.

"What tricks did you do?"

Xin Qiang was filled with annoyance: "With all this chaos, what's the use of us trying to get first place?"

He is the mecha operator who partners with Ye Hanfeng. In order to get the first place in the final assessment, he trained day and night for two months before finally finding the right time in the ring and bombarding him endlessly.The unsightly wingman protecting Sheng Yi.

The current adjustment to the rules made him feel that all his hard work in the past two months had been wasted, and he was extremely frustrated.

Ye Hanfeng asked: "After winning first place, the mecha department didn't give you one-on-one tutoring from an S-class instructor, a dedicated training ground, and mecha modifications as a reward?"

Xin Qiang was speechless for a moment: "How can these be mixed together——"

"Okay." Ye Hanfeng arranged the equipment and closed the buckle, "Don't mix them together."

Ye Hanfeng said: "Those who did not get the quota originally were notified at short notice."

"If they enter the battlefield as soon as they receive the notice, they will seriously lack the preparation they should have."

"If they are ready to come back in, it will be at least three to five hours later."

Ye Hanfeng: "The time difference of three to five hours is enough for us to adapt to the battlefield and even prepare ambushes and traps in advance."

"...That's not what I said!" Xin Qiang was unable to refute what he said, and was very angry: "They had no right to compete with us! If the rules hadn't been changed -"

Ye Hanfeng said: "What if there is going to be a war?"

Xin Qiang's voice disappeared from his throat instantly.

His expression changed unconsciously, and he stammered: "Wha, what?"

"If we were going to the battlefield, would you still blame them for competing with you for a spot?"

Ye Hanfeng said: "The military——"

Ye Hanfeng looked at Xin Qiang's pale face and shook his head: "It's okay... I was just talking casually."

He couldn't understand the military's sudden change in the nature of the exercise, but Ye Hanfeng knew at least one thing.

After learning Shi Ji's true identity from Sheng Yi, Ye Hanfeng contacted his father, hoping to find a suitable lower-level unit to accept Shi Ji.

Father Ye watched the video sent back by his son and was shocked by Shi Ji's talent and potential. Even though he knew Shi Ji's identity as a bionic human, he was still willing to take the risk.

...Only when we arrived at the military headquarters, we discovered that there were so many troops and military regions that wanted to grab this young observer that they had to queue up.

The Western Military Region and the Southern Military Region were at loggerheads. The Central Military Region was willing to help Shi Ji solve all the remaining problems of the Sheng family. The person in charge of the air force base said nothing with a cold face and brought an old information bag that had turned yellow. Who did he see?I almost choked out a few words.

The invitation letter for the mecha unit directly under the alliance was sent to the military academy, promising that Shiji could choose his partner's mecha operator at any time.

Because of Sheng's father's orders, Shi Ji has been focusing on being Sheng Yi's observer. His true talent has been strictly hidden, and he is just an exceptionally top observer student in the military academy.

Now, just slightly freed from Sheng Yi's control, Shi Ji's own overpowering talent and strength were already too dazzling to ignore.

…

Father Ye came back and told his son that no one present could catch Shi Ji until the end.

The new head of the special operations team directly locked Shi Ji's military membership.

It's not that no one protested. The special operations team is indeed the top of all the alliance's troops, but after all, it cannot be unreasonable to this point. Each military region also has the right to compete for potential talents.

But Ye's father just sighed. He told Ye Hanfeng that the special operations team had obtained the highest priority privileges.

Father Ye said that there is only one situation where the special forces team will have the highest priority privileges.

——The insect wave is coming, and the war is imminent. The special operations team is the first sharp knife to fight. They need to use the most exquisite steel to temper it into a sharp blade.

…

It took Xin Qiang a long time to recover.

He was a little angry because of his own embarrassment, but he didn't dare to provoke Ye Hanfeng, so he walked far away on the other side, angrily chopping down the branches blocking his way.

Ye Hanfeng glanced at him and looked away.

The delivery method for this selection was very special. The observers and mecha operators were released into the battlefield at the same time, but the wingmen and mechas they drove were released elsewhere on the map.

This kind of hiking is full of dangers, and any time wasted may lead to encountering a terrifying opponent that can kill you.

The observer must discuss with the operator whether to prioritize retrieving the mecha or the wingman, or whether the two of them should simply act separately.

"Go find your mecha first."

Ye Hanfeng said: "I have seen the map and I need to pass through a forest and two rivers."

Xin Qiang was stunned for a moment, his expression improved a little, and he coughed dryly: "You don't have to take care of me..."

Ye Hanfeng said nothing and walked toward the forest.

He didn't take care of Xin Qiang specially. His wingman was observing the detection direction. In order to obtain the optimal power propulsion effect and ensure that the weight of the fuselage was light enough, most of the weapons and equipment had to be cut off.

That's why Ye Hanfeng was so shocked when he saw Shi Ji in the audience that day performing those incredibly difficult moves with a fully loaded old-style wingman.

Only if you are an observer and have seen enough training and actual combat materials, can you truly realize how terrifying Shi Ji's ability is...

Before he finished his thoughts, the leaves that Xin Qiang had just passed suddenly moved slightly.

Ye Hanfeng's expression suddenly became serious, he pulled Xin Qiang back with force, and activated the electromagnetic energy cannon on his arm.

A mechanical beetle knocked Ye Hanfeng to the ground.

Xin Qiang's reaction was quick enough. He rolled on the spot, jumped up with fallen leaves and broken soil, rushed towards the shadow that suddenly appeared, and struggled with the mechanical insect.

His fighting skills were indeed not low, but after all, the mechanical bug was half the size of a human, and its carapace was surprisingly strong. Even if Xin Qiang and Ye Hanfeng worked together, they could only barely trap it.

Xin Qiang gritted his teeth and suddenly exerted his strength to resist the mechanical bug with all his strength.

Ye Hanfeng found the opportunity and aimed at the weakest part of the mechanical insect. The electromagnetic wave vibrated violently and completely destroyed the mechanical insect's brain.

…

Xin Qiang rubbed his numb arms, exhaled heavily, and stood up.

He successfully killed a mechanical bug just after entering the jungle, which made him feel better quickly. "Don't worry, I was just shocked... and now I'm fine."

Xin Qiang recovered a lot. He tried his best to make amends. He straightened his body and said, "I am also seventh in the overall mecha professional rating and second in combat. That's why you found me as your partner, right? Don't worry, I'm not like ShengYi, will protect his observation hand..."

Ye Hanfeng sighed.

He chose Xin Qiang as his partner just because he would join his father's army after graduation and have the opportunity to choose more mature and better mecha operators.

Since he was a partner who would break up sooner or later, there was no need to delay others, so Ye Hanfeng just randomly found a decent partner.

...Now it seems that it was a bit too much.

Ye Hanfeng wiped the blood on the corners of his lips and briefly treated a few scratches.

He and Xin Qiang exchanged positions, walked in front to clear the way, and looked at the position on the map.

…

He wanted to know how Shi Ji was doing.

Before coming to the Military Academy, Ye Hanfeng had always been the best.

Even after enrolling, he was only suppressed by Shi Ji, the former first observer, for a short period of time, and soon regained the first place in the Wingman Academy.

Even though he was clearly aware of the disparity between the two sides in wingman driving, Ye Hanfeng still couldn't help but want to compare with Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's partner was the fully automatic mecha. There was no operator and he could only enter the war zone alone. Logically speaking, it was the most dangerous.

This is an area specifically used for military exercises. In addition to the enemy Blue Army, countless mechanical Zergs have been released into these jungles.

The mechanical bug will completely simulate the combat power of the real Zerg. For military school students, if two people work together to kill a mechanical bug, they can already get 95 points on the evaluation table.

Without an operator partner, the combat effectiveness is not simply reduced by half. Even the best soldiers under Ye's father will not risk entering these jungles alone.

Under this situation...how is Shi Ji prepared to deal with this crisis?

the other side.

Shi Ji pushed it and let the mechanical bug hit the ground.

The huge and heavy body of the mechanical insect splashed a cloud of dust.

Shi Ji flicked his wrist, put away the dagger, used his hook hand on the branch, and landed steadily.

He half-crouched down and turned over the shiny black beetle to look at it. He was a little disappointed and reported in the sea of consciousness: "Mr. Yu, this is also a mechanical insect."

Yu Tang squatted in the sea of consciousness and studied with him: "Can't you eat this too?"

"No, there seems to be no real Zerg in this area."

Shi Ji said: "The sword horned worm can really be grilled. The captain told me. The captain said it is delicious."

Yu Tang sighed regretfully.

They had already entered the combat area. It was a pre-war mobilization done by the head of the military region. Zhuang Yu just took people to have a look and then returned to the combat tent with no interest.

The people who came to participate in the training were all elites. Many of them were stimulated to death by the arrogant and coaxing attitude of the special teams, and they were eager to show these people how good they were.

Shi Ji quietly stood behind the crowd, received the assigned equipment, and was released into the war zone.

"Military regions should have their own considerations."

Shi Ji also saw the newly revised rules. He thought about it all by himself, tried to stand in the perspective of the commander, and seriously reported his reflection and summary to Yu Tang in the sea of consciousness: "We are the assessors and the people being assessed."

"For the special teams, we are the one being tested."

"Those newcomers who were originally not allowed to enter the training, but are now allowed to participate in the exercise, and who may besiege us to compete for quotas, themselves are one of the assessments we need to pass."

"For those newcomers, we are also assessing them."

"The original trainees will not sit still and wait for death. With the common goal of safeguarding vested interests, everyone is more willing to choose not confrontation but alliance."

"Through this exercise, ordinary students and soldiers will be able to experience the cruelty of the battlefield to the greatest extent, and the selected elites will be put under greater pressure than originally - and more importantly, it will force everyone to understand one thing.Infighting in the face of the enemy is self-destructive.”

"These are the most obvious signs of preparation for war."

"If it were just an ordinary war, there would be no need to adopt such a brutal and direct approach to human nature."

Shi Ji said: "If my inference is correct, within three months, there will be the largest insect invasion in history."

…

In the sea of consciousness, Yu Tang put down the secret military documents he had just intercepted.

He couldn't help but laugh, rubbed his forehead, and drew a small red flower for him in the data stream of S7.

Shi Ji was a little embarrassed, and his ears turned red shyly: "...Mr. Yu?"

"Don't worry, the anti-OOC system doesn't recognize Xiao Honghua."

Yu Tang: "If you say this in front of the military headquarters, they will probably take away the combat staff directly from you, and Team Zhuang will not be able to take it back."

Shi Ji was startled and quickly shut his mouth tightly.

After Yu Tang finished eating the last piece of biscuit, he closed the confidential document that was exactly the same as Shi Ji's and put it aside.

When Dean Nie roared angrily, "He can make thousands of people survive," Yu Tang had not yet realized clearly that he could make an old observer who had experienced countless wars and made great achievements...What does it mean to give this kind of evaluation?

Shi Ji's judgment and overall view are not limited to a specific battle situation.

This is a top interstellar commander who is still in his infancy.

Controlled by the program implanted over the years, Shi Ji cannot do many things, so he will always write reflection summaries and keep his thinking from stopping - the implanted program can prevent people's actions and can change people.The only thing that is powerless is the truly thinking part of human beings.

It can only violently strangle and eliminate them again and again, but it can never completely stop the emergence of those thoughts.

So when he sensed a glimmer of hope of breaking free, Shi Ji's data still chose to continue fighting without hesitation, even though he only had the most sporadic instincts left.

…

"Mr. Yu."

The top commander in his childhood parted through the trees and asked in the sea of consciousness: "Do you still need me to accompany you to play another game of flying chess?"

"...No need." Yu Tang said, "Concentrate on clearing the way."

Yu Tang has never been very good at games where luck is the main determinant, such as Ludo and Monopoly. He has lost three games in a row and misses the second-hand game console he left in the third book villa.

Yu Tang comforted Shi Ji: "I had a good time, I'm very happy."

Shi Ji turned red behind his ears and pursed his lips, determined to play Ludo with Mr. Yu more often in the future.

Yu Tang didn't know what he was thinking, so he yawned and threw it back into the pile of pillows.

To be fair, the Dolphin's communication system was temporarily shut down and would not actively respond to their call. Shi Ji needed to find his partner's mecha first.

The special forces have not started "hunting" yet, and there are no too fierce battles for the time being. The anti-OOC system in Shi Ji's brain is very peaceful.

This morning, the system left him a leave note, saying that he had won a 72-hour holiday in a lottery and was forced to take a leave. He would not be able to see him again until three days later.

Mechanical bugs cannot be eaten.

Yu Tang was a little bored, so he turned over among the pillows and poked at the full-scale mecha model that Senior Zhan left for him.

The next second, the taillight of the figure suddenly lit up bright red.

Yu Tang was stunned.

He took the mecha model over and wanted to check if it was connected to electricity somewhere. Then he sat up and suddenly heard a completely different mechanical sound from before.

"It has been detected that your system is on vacation. To ensure the personal safety of lottery employees, the mall has activated an emergency plan."

The mechanical voice was gentle and pure, and there was no hint of favoritism: "Hello, I am your temporary replacement system, we are doing promotions."

"You are our lucky host. Do you want a new classic video game console that will be randomly given to you?"
