On July 20, 38,800 in the ephemeris, Elan thought she should always remember this day. On this day, as the one who filled the number indiscriminately, she followed the Tudo University mecha team to the arena of the All-Union Student Mecha Creative Competition. Looking back, Instructor Zhou and Lu Xun were standing in the logistics service area of the team, Instructor Zhou had encouragement in his eyes, Lu Xun was smiling, and the meaning of support was also obvious. She turned her head, took a deep breath, and whispered to Ryan beside her, "Ryan, I'll get the mecha later, why don't you knock me unconscious?" ”

I heard Ryan lower his throat and gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to do anything, just sit, and you want me to waste my strength to knock you out?" After a while, he resolutely whispered to Yilan: "I have a little confidence in myself, I'm not afraid of being burdensome, are you still afraid of being a burden?" ”

Ilan snorted softly, this man can never speak well, he can always respond to the dead. In that case, she also let go. The worst outcome is not screaming and vomiting and falling into a coma, anyway, they have all experienced it, and the bad thing is two people, not her.

After thinking about it, he whispered again: "Later, if I can't hold back vomiting and faint, don't worry too much, stay calm, and don't affect others." ”

Ryan couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this, and said hatefully: "Are you the captain or am I the captain, do you want you to say?" Sue sù you, get on the mecha and pay attention to the facial expressions. ”

Ilan suddenly became nervous: "Can we see the situation in the mecha from the outside?" ”

"Don't worry, you can't see it." Ryan kindly explained to her, "As soon as the mecha's movements come out, people who understand will know what you are operating inside, so why are you staring inside to see your fingers?" I'm just asking you not to get too scared and affect my mood for the game. ”

Ilan ignored it, this person didn't feel bad for others if he didn't say a word, he himself was uncomfortable. The big guy walked to his team's preparation area, and Ilan stepped on the gangway to climb up in full view, and Ryan, who went up first, reached out of the cockpit and lifted her. Fortunately, each participating team has its own preparation area, otherwise it will be disgraced to other star regions.

Joining them was the Edu University Women's Mecha Team. Ryan: Their luck is good or bad. The origin of the mecha is in the Iddu Star Zone, and the importance that Edu University attaches to the mecha can be imagined, and how many enthusiastic mecha teenagers would rather give up the university in their own star zone and come to Edu University thousands of miles away. It has the largest number of student mecha teams, which is the first among universities in the whole league. Because of the home stadium, Universitate Edu has won two places for the competition, one for the men's team and the other for the women's team.

Due to the innate physiological differences, the women's team is slightly inferior to the men's team, which is also where the Tudo University team is lucky. Unfortunately, the women's team of Edu University has a very high reputation and has received a lot more attention than them. Only Edu University has a professional women's team, and it's the team that Rita admires. Almost all girls with mecha talent are attracted to Edu University, and as a result, almost all famous female mechists in the alliance have graduated from Edu University.

During the game, the two teams stood on each side, lined up in a five-by-three matrix, and there was a clear distinction. It comes up with a set of prescribed actions, and then selects the actions. All the movements have been practiced, and Ilan is also prepared in his heart, and there is no abnormality in the whole scene. But she didn't see anything, because she kept her eyes closed. There was no special feeling of the scene, because she was distracted by thinking about her farm while hanging her heart.

The results of the two teams are evenly divided. When commenting on the video of the game after the game, Instructor Zhou said: "We are good. "Look, the instructors are very reasonable. Only Ryan said dissatisfiedly, "We can be better." ”

Yes, even Ilan can see that their team always has a feeling of being constrained when they play, especially when it comes to some fast low squats, the whole team is quite restrained. Ryan sighed, "We have a psychological shadow. ”

These days and Ilan have been training day and night, and the most vicious cynicism has been given, he has no scruples about speaking to Ilan, pointing at Ilan and hating iron and steel: "Look at others, and then look at yourself." How can it be so much worse? ”

After Yilan got off the field, his tense mood relaxed, and he soaked in the nutrition cabin again, and he was more energetic, and then he had the strength to reply: "No matter how good people are, they are also your opponents, they benefit from it when you can't compete, no matter how bad I am, I can be regarded as your teammate, and I will sacrifice my life to accompany you when you can't compete." ”

Ryan listened, stunned, stunned, and stunned. Let you get on my mecha, I will give up my life to accompany you. You scream, I'm afraid of being deaf, you don't scream, I'm afraid the speed is not in place. You know that feeling of uneasiness? ”

"What's it to be uneasy? Do you know what it feels like to be worse off than dead? Elan glared at Ryan.

Ryan laughed: "You might as well be dead than alive?" So what is our usual training? ”

Ilan was speechless for a moment, and became sad for no reason. "I'm not you." She turned her head away, bumped into Hosbei's swarthy eyes, and lowered her head again. She remembered that Hosbei had said before that the dignity of mech members was not something anyone could laugh at. They were gifted mechs, she was just that, her experience of life and death was commonplace for them, she and they weren't all the same.

"Hey, beauty, don't go, there's still time, let's train again, and we must let go of our hands and feet in the next game." Ryan pulled her past and went back to training.

The next match is against an old friend Tila University, and the two sides have been playing friendly matches, and they know each other well, and many of the players know each other well. Maybe they found the atmosphere of a friendly match, maybe they knew Ilan's patience on the field, maybe they learned from the experience of the last game, and this time the Tudo University team played their own level.

Ilan didn't make a sound for the whole show, acting as a backdrop, and Ryan also treated her as if she didn't save zài, and focused on working alone. Yilan admires him a lot, without a partner, he can still wrap up his work, no wonder he can be the captain. This time, Tudo University won by a narrow margin. As soon as Rita waited for Elan to scramble down from the mech, she jumped up and hugged her tightly and shouted, "Elan, you are awesome." ”

Ilan was of course very touched when she heard it, and finally someone saw her hard work, but she still said very modestly: "I didn't do anything. Ryan rolled his eyes from the side.

The static assessment project has been carried out again, and it is over. Ilan didn't hold back, and sat quietly until the game was over. Next up is the variant assessment item. Zhou Qi clamored to play, but the hospital didn't let him, and insisted that he be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow at the earliest, which means that as long as Yilan finishes the first variant assessment project, Zhou Qi can officially return in the next game.

Ryan was overjoyed and a little distressed when he heard the news. I'm glad that Zhou Qi is finally getting better and can come back to compete. The distress was that things were a little beyond his expectations, he didn't plan for Yilan to go to the variant assessment project, and he didn't mention it to Yilan about the formation arrangement at all. Of course, to put it bluntly, Yilan doesn't need to know this, all she has to do is just sit obediently and count people.

The key is that the variant assessment is different from the previous static assessments, the environment is changeable, unexpected, not to mention what terrain will be encountered, the team has to adapt to changes, as the captain, Ryan is not only responsible for his own mecha, but also responsible for the deployment of the whole team. He was most afraid that Ilan would have some moths, thinking like this, his eyes flickered when he looked at Ilan, but in the end, there was no good way, so he had to say to Ilan calmly: "After you come on the field, you are still as calm as before." ”

Ilan nodded and followed. What they drew was a map of the city's lanes, starting from point A and crossing obstacles to reach point B, the shorter the time, the higher the score, and if they could not reach it within the specified time, it was judged that the mission failed.

It was good at first, Ryan gave instructions one by one, and also operated his mecha to jump and jump. Ilan thought it was very interesting, I used to pass by a lot of training grounds on the way to work in the restaurant, and I often saw mecha scurrying around in it, but at that time I didn't feel anything, at most it looked like an Ultraman version of a big game. Now I am sitting in the mecha myself, walking quickly between the streets and buildings, I have a particularly real feeling, the mecha is not a human toy, nor is it just a prop for the catwalk performance on the field, it is really closely related to human life here, it can be a means of transportation, but also an offensive and defensive weapon.

Ilan was thinking about it when the first ray appeared. A blinding white light streaked across Elan's eyes, Ryan's fingers flew, and the mech moved and jumped, narrowly avoiding it. Ilan bit her lower lip to keep herself from screaming. Ryan kept exchanging information with his teammates, trying to maintain formation and advance steadily, and out of the corner of her eye, Ilan caught a glimpse of a white light shooting from her side, and she couldn't help but shout, "Ryan, this way." ”

"Shut up! I see it. Ryan replied angrily, "You don't have to worry about anything. ”

Ilan didn't refute, the mecha's dodging speed was fast, her heart was racing, and she was a little breathless. The rays soon intensified, Ryan's speed became faster and faster, and the street scene in front of Ilan's eyes kept flipping in a dazzling gesture, and she closed her eyes, still feeling a white light.

She sat stiffly, Ryan's voice in her ears seemed to have faded into the background, only her desperately suppressed heavy breathing mixed with the sound of gurgling blood, accompanied by a painful heartbeat.

"We've flown out of the ray net, beauty," Ryan glanced sideways at Elan and shouted, "Elan, Elan." ”

Ilan felt Ryan's voice return, she opened her eyes and met Ryan's anxious gaze, "Okay?" She asked weakly.

"Well, it's okay, we're flying out of the ray net." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and repeated the sentence as he turned back to operate the mech.

"Fly?" Only then did Ilan notice that there was nothing in front of her, and the sky seemed to be level with her, and she muttered unconsciously, "Can you fly?" ”

"Of course, can a flightless mecha be called a mecha?" Ryan scoffed.

Only then did Ilan remember that she had occasionally caught a glimpse of a mech hovering in mid-air while entering and exiting Area Z, but she didn't expect that one day she would be sitting in a flying mech, soaring high in the sky. "It's a bizarre world." Ilan muttered to himself very softly.

"Huh?" Ryan didn't hear clearly, but he didn't care, and said, "Ready, I'm going to dive." Control your volume. ”

Hearing this, Ilan leaned against the back of the chair, picking at her thighs with one hand, covering her mouth with the other, and biting her lips with her teeth. The feeling of weightlessness was so tormenting and so long. The sound of blood rushing reverberated in the eardrums.

It seemed like it had been an infinite time for the heart to feel better. But after a while, I began to feel as if I was being clenched by a large hand. Ilan didn't dare to open his eyes, just listening to his drumstick-like heartbeat, tormenting every minute and every second.
