Chapter 80

Chapter 80

This sentence was asked in a very low voice, but several nearby mecha students still heard it and couldn't help but look over here.

Sheng Yi stood in the line of sight cast towards him in twos and threes.

His face was so hot that he couldn't answer even a single word. The intense embarrassment and shame pressed hard on him, almost crushing him to pieces.

…

Even though Shi Ji's overall ranking plummeted during the half-year period when he was missing, and when Shi Ji came back and lost to Ye Hanfeng in the final exam, Sheng Yi never felt that the problem was with him.

His physical fitness, fighting skills, and mecha fighting alone in the ring are all ranked first in his grade.

It was just that he couldn't defeat the four-handed man with two fists, and he couldn't fight with the coordinated wingmen and mechas, so he was seriously delayed in the ranking - but how could this be his problem?

Sheng Yi always believed that Shi Ji was holding him back.

If Shi Ji can cooperate with him perfectly, he will not be found open.

If Shi Ji hadn't been shot down by Ye Hanfeng's partner at that time, he wouldn't have lost that arena match and wouldn't have missed out on his spot in the training camp.

Not long after the exercise began, the military court concluded the trial of Gan Lifei and the others. The clear verdict was issued to the military academy and announced simultaneously in all military regions.

Realizing that those people actually had bad intentions and used him to break Shi Ji's ligament, Sheng Yi, despite a brief flash of guilt and uneasiness, still instinctively deceived himself and found excuses.

——Isn’t it because Shi Ji always wanted to control him and annoyed him, so those people took advantage of him?

——Even if he was wrong, he shouldn't have given that order to Shi Ji, and he shouldn't have let those people deal with Shi Ji.But wasn't it because Shi Ji was not strong enough that he was injured and captured by the inexplicable star thief who came from nowhere?

Sheng Yi is used to being arrogant. He hates losing and making mistakes. He has learned to find reasons for everything from others almost without any guidance. However, there is Shi Ji next to him who never refutes him.

Sometimes when Ji is around, Sheng Yi can always find countless excuses for himself.

Shi Ji had no negative emotions, and would not be angry or sad because of his accusations. He would still study recipes, play the violin, hum an unknown tune, write summary and reflections on his mistakes in his notebook as usual, and send him nutritious meals to the training ground.

To Sheng Yi, Shi Ji was like a free punching bag. No matter what the reason was, he could go up and punch him hard.

Father Sheng has always indulged him in this way.

...But the scene in front of him ruthlessly tore apart this layer of self-deception.

Sheng Yi was in a daze.

He turned off his mecha under Ye Hanfeng's stern urging, and was pulled into the bunker by Ye Hanfeng to hide. His face was still burning with pain.

Behind the bunker not far away, there were several senior mecha students who were watching the battle through the lookout and discussing the current battle situation in low voices.

"Do you dare to go up?"

"I'm a little confused. Such a dense swarm of insects can't be used at all... What use can the little things we have in the arena be used?"

"The long-range firepower cannot be activated. If a mechanical insect blocks the launch port and directly explodes the chamber, the entire mecha will be destroyed."

"Look at that wingman. Not only is it distracting and inducing the insect swarm into the ambush circle, it is also inducing the mechanical insects to attack itself."

"The tighter the mechanical bugs chase him, the less they can control the movement trajectory under inertia. Once he suddenly changes direction, those mechanical bugs will collide with other similar species..."

"Forget about the mechanical bugs, at this speed, the mecha can't control its trajectory."

"If the observer is alone and takes that automatic mecha to deal with all of us, how long can we last?"

…

This time no one spoke immediately.

According to the assessment rules for military cadets, only those ranked first in the standings are eligible to receive special training places and participate in exercises as trainees.

The trainees under discussion are all the best in various military academies. They have always occupied the first page of the alliance academy's overall standings. Before they graduated, they were scrambled by various military regions to book their places. Even Ye Hanfeng and his partners were temporarily ranked in the rankings.behind them.

The preparatory grade student squatted next to Ye Hanfeng, listening to the discussion of the senior students, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He could only tell that Shi Ji was very good at beating insects. He couldn't see any other tricks for the time being. He was nervous and excited when he heard: "...Is Senior Shi so good?"

Ye Hanfeng was silent for a moment and nodded.

Shi Ji... is more than that powerful.

"Even without that mecha, he can handle one or two groups of mechas and mature wingmen on his own."

Ye Hanfeng opened the tactical screen on his pocket. He always stared at Shi Ji's operations intently, trying his best to write down every detail: "Look carefully... He has the ability to break the iron law that the observer hand cannot be used as the main combat force."

This is something Captain Zhuang didn't have time to do back then.

His father told him that Zhuang Yu originally had this ability and opportunity.

But at that time, the entire military system was too biased against observers. This subversive challenge to the combat system encountered considerable resistance as soon as it emerged.

No one in the entire alliance is willing to work as a mecha operator for Zhuang Yu. Everyone is waiting to see Zhuang Yu's jokes.

The only son of Dean Nie, the wingman major, was a junior student one grade below Zhuang Yu. He was not willing to watch Zhuang Yu being suppressed by others, and he was not willing to have the observer to always have to cooperate with others. He had a big quarrel with his father and saidI have to switch to driving mechas and working as an operator for Zhuangyu.

The dean was worried about Zhuang Yu, but he couldn't let his son lose his future.The father and son got into an argument so much that they started using martial arts and destroyed almost everything in the dean's office.

Dean Nie was so angry that he slapped the admission notice to the air force base on the table and told his son not to go if he had the ability.

Dean Nie's only son tore up the transportation agreement, ran away twenty meters from home, and limped into the office of the Dean of the Mecha Department with his head held high in front of Dean Nie.

…

These legendary past events that should have been talked about by people were sealed in the memories of those who knew the incident along with the accident.

"So far, there are no problems with the self-driving mecha." Ye Hanfeng said, "It can not only undertake escort missions and block part of the insect tide for the observer, but it can also cooperate with the wingmen to adjust the battle plan at any time."

"For this kind of observer, this kind of mecha is the most suitable."

Ye Hanfeng analyzed in a low voice: "If the mecha's level is not good enough and he rushes in recklessly and attacks randomly, it will only completely disrupt his own rhythm and seriously hinder him..."

Ye Hanfeng stopped talking for a moment, and then he realized that he was too focused and had ignored Sheng Yi for too long. He explained apologetically to Sheng Yi next to him: "...I'm sorry, I didn't mean you."

Sheng Yi: "..."

Ye Hanfeng was not very good at talking, but he also felt that it was not appropriate for him to continue his analysis. He opened the tactical screen and immersed himself in writing a summary of his reflections on watching the game.

The preparatory grade students looked back and forth, shrank their necks, and quickly slipped back to their original bunkers.

The fierce battle in the night lasted for more than an hour.

The low-level bugs only have the most basic instincts, and the two bug kings have begun to gradually become aware of the problem.

They seriously underestimated the strength of this line of defense.

Nearly one-third of the Zerg were wiped out in this encounter. Not only were the defending humans not weakened, they even seemed to be getting braver as they fought.

One of the insect kings took a moment to weigh it, then quietly withdrew from the battle and disappeared into the night.

As it withdrew, more than half of the mechanical bugs also turned around and flew away, and the pressure on the defense line suddenly eased a lot.

"Do you want half of the people to take a break?" Wu Ming wiped his sweat and pulled down the microphone amidst the deafening sound of artillery fire. "The rest are enough for a night of fighting, right? We should combine work and rest..."

Sui Qi's mecha hand tore off a mechanical insect, held the sharp chest horn, and stabbed the other mechanical insect's abdomen fiercely: "If there is a real war, you and the Zerg will talk about work and rest?"

Wu Ming: "..."

The rules of this exercise were suddenly adjusted, and many people had vaguely noticed something strange.

Wu Ming controlled the mecha to retract the laser cannon. When the question he wanted to ask came to his lips, he swallowed it back and complained instead: "When the exercise is over, I have to apply for a microwave electromagnetic gun. The mecha shell is hot..."

Sui Qi shot out an infrared ray and gave him a direction: "Did you see it? There is a lake there."

"I saw it." Wu Ming was very happy, "Do you want me to cool down?"

"I'm reminding you that the lake water was just boiled by a mecha equipped with ten cannon microwave electromagnetic guns."

Sui Qi said: "The trainee and his partner are competing for the No. 7 spot, and now his mecha is still soaked in water."

Wu Ming: "..."

Another flare fell in front of them.

Wu Ming quickly cheered up and concentrated on dealing with the Zerg attracted by the bright light.

The pressure on their area has been reduced a lot compared to before. Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was fighting with three groups of mechanical bugs when he suddenly heard Sui Qi's anxious shout: "Up above!"

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, seeing the insect king with two chest horns and bright spots on its back rushing towards him.

...Nocturnal insects not only seek light, but also have the instinct to seek heat!

Wu Ming's eyes widened. He looked at the two sharp, dark and bright horns that were as thick as a person's arms and stabbed down rapidly. He forgot that he was practicing, and his whole body was instantly covered in cold sweat.

Sui Qi gritted her teeth, shook off the mechanical bug in front of her, and pounced on his mecha with all her might.

...There are mechas faster than him.

The sharp silver blades of the Dolphin reflected bright light, and the sudden reflected light pierced the insect king's eyes.

The Insect King's movements paused for a moment, and the tip of the chest horn was firmly locked by the steel cable.

The Dolphin's horsepower was turned to the limit, its taillights glowed bright red, and its propellers made a harsh sonic boom.

Sui Qi pounced Wu Ming's mecha away, looked back, and was stunned.

That steel cable pulled the Insect King violently!

Without allowing the Insect King to react, the wingman who was always patrolling followed and dived downwards. After a horizontal roll of 180 degrees, there was almost no gap, and then he rolled out horizontally with a gradient.

The potential energy brought by the extreme heightening was converted into speed. The strong wings reinforced with the most advanced materials pierced directly into the abdomen of the Insect King, creating a deep gap.

The insect king's red oval compound eyes suddenly went out.

The entire battlefield seemed to have come to a brief standstill at this moment.

The Zerg have a clear hierarchy. The lower Zerg have almost no self-awareness and ability to move. They suddenly lost all the Zerg Kings who were responsible for giving orders, and the originally fierce offensive gradually weakened.

Shi Ji pulled down the microphone: "Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter to me!" Wu Ming finally calmed down and sat up quickly, "Old Sui——"

Sui Qi gritted her teeth and put one hand on the ground. The mecha jumped up again and stood firm: "It's okay... I jumped too fast and my legs were stretched."

"Exit the battle first and check."

Shi Ji: "The remaining people clean up the battlefield, Captain Wu, contact the trainees in the academy to see if they are willing to join the alliance."

Sui Qi couldn't help but frown.

Wu Ming was more outspoken than him and said in surprise: "Cleaning the battlefield?"

Wu Ming said: "There will definitely be no problem in contacting the students. Commander, we still have hundreds of mechanical bugs spinning around here..."

Shi Ji: "Without the guidance of the Insect King, the remaining low-level Insects have very weak combat effectiveness and have no training value."

"Please help me put the insect king away. I want to study it." Shi Ji said, "I will lure them away and deal with them. I will be back soon."

Shi Ji reminded Sui Qi: "It is very important to protect your legs."

Wu Ming: "..."

Sui Qi: "..."

Shi Ji's orders during battles were always concise and clear. He raised the fighter again and took the Dolphin into the night sky.

"Old Sui." Wu Ming looked at the mechanical insect king, "Does Commander Shi mean... that he could have solved this thing a long time ago, but the reason why he has not done anything is to keep it for us to train?"

Sui Qi: "..."

Wu Ming's mood was a little complicated: "If it wasn't because I was too hot and attracted the Insect King here, would he still want us to practice more?"

Sui Qi: "..."

"Does anyone in your special forces team have this strength now?"

It was the first time that Wu Ming was crushed in the face by someone's strength. He sat on the ground and looked at the mechanical insect king opposite and babbled: "I heard that there were seniors in the past. Our army commander always used your records back then to train us..."

"There will be no end! There will be no end!" Sui Qi got a rare irritation. She jumped up and blasted three mechanical insects to pieces. "Didn't you hear what the commander said? Drag the insect king away!"

Wu Ming was stunned for a few seconds by his roar, and stood up subconsciously.

Sui Qi controlled the mecha to turn around and leave.

Wu Ming called him: "Old Sui, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to protect my legs, then fill out the application form, and when I get back, I'll take part in the extreme closed-door training, which is said to require you to take off three layers of skin!" Sui Qi was furious, "I'll help you ask if anyone among us except Team Zhuang has this.Strength! Let me tell you in a bottle!"

Wu Ming: "..."

Sui Qi's mecha angrily jumped into the woods on one leg.

Wu Ming came back to his senses and shook his head.

He was about to sigh that today's young people are getting more and more irritable when he was caught off guard by the dazzling bright light, and there was only whiteness left in front of him.

After finally adapting to the light, Wu Ming blinked hard a few times, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock.

Shi Ji didn't joke with them.

There were only a few dozen mechanical bugs left on the battlefield in front of them. They had lost their direction and were wandering aimlessly on the battlefield.

Many of the mechas who were responsible for sniping the insect swarms and fighting fiercely with the mechanical insects just now were like him, stunned and stunned.

In front of the goggles with additional strong light protection, the dazzling white light almost covered the entire battlefield.

Without the guidance of the Insect King, a large number of low-level mechanical insects could not resist their instincts. They were attracted by the light and pounced on Shi Ji and his wingmen one after another.
