Chapter 52: Cruel Elimination Rate

The fat man's face was pale.

No one expected that there would be such a reversal at the end, obviously four competitors had been eliminated and entered the top three, but to everyone's surprise, the original Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong and Collins could return to the team at the last moment.

This is undoubtedly exciting news for NASA.

Unlike Zhang Heng and their group of newcomers, both of them are experienced veteran astronauts, who have undergone several years of systematic training, before the implementation of the Apollo 11 program, Armstrong had already piloted Gemini 8 into Earth orbit in 1965 to complete the docking, and Collins also flew the Gemini 10 mission.

Their return is a shot in the arm for NASA's top brass, but for the three players, it's a completely different feeling.

Speaking of which, in the introduction of the main quest, there is indeed no mention of how many final clearance places there are, and the so-called three-person clearance was first put forward by high school students, based on the number of official members of the Apollo XI mission team in history, this statement is also accepted by all players.

And the captain's rhetoric at the beginning of the replica also convinces more people that NASA is indeed running out of astronauts, and they only need to keep an eye on the three people who have returned to the surface from Apollo 10 to see how they are recovering, and the replica is still very kind at this point.

Like the astronauts infected with a mysterious infectious disease, the three people on Apollo 10 have been unable to recover.

This also seems to further prove that the main quest of this dungeon is to land three players on the moon, and for this reason, the fat man also left Bruno's small life, for fear that the number of people on the final mission will not be enough.

But it turned out to be like fate played an extremely cruel joke.

Some people may think that there is not much difference between knowing early and knowing late, and the difficulty now has changed from the original seven-in-one to the current three-in-one, and the first mate has been reduced.

But that's not the case, for a single-player competitive dungeon, strategy is sometimes more important than tactics, if you knew from the beginning that only one person could pass the main quest this time, Zhang Heng's pressure as the person with the best training performance must be the highest among all, there is Armstrong and Collins and there is no need to worry about who will fly the aircraft, other players will inevitably list him as the first target, not like now, except for Bruno, who is in second place, wants to kill him, Everyone else would prefer him to be their teammate.

This made Zhang Heng almost always detached from the outside for a period of time before.

Of course, if he knew early on that only one person could board Apollo 11, Zhang Heng might not be willing to get the first place, but at least it would not be the current situation.

Bruno is undoubtedly the most frustrated person, his current strength is the weakest of the three, after the previous events, he originally thought that he would not escape death, but he didn't expect Jia Lai to choose to leave him instead of Zhen Kuang, so that he was unexpectedly able to clear this copy, and he also turned from sadness to joy.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and now the three of them have to compete for the only place to clear the level, and he has lost all the game items, which means that he is one step behind others before he starts.

But after only a moment's hesitation, Bruno immediately approached the fat man's side.

Zhang Heng was not surprised by his choice, Zhang Heng did not know if Armstrong remembered what happened fourteen years ago, but this did not affect his final decision.

Because Zhang Heng's training performance is the best among all players, even if it is not mixed with any personal feelings, only from a professional point of view, Armstrong will definitely choose him as the last member of the team.

Therefore, whether it is Jia Lai or Bruno, if you want to complete the main quest, you need to find a way to let Zhang Heng out first, so for Bruno, forming an alliance with the fat man is the only choice, of course, the best result is that the fat man and Zhang Heng both die together, or he can survive after killing Zhang Heng, then with his results, he can surpass the fat man to board Apollo 11.

As for Jia Lai on the other side, after the initial disappointment and anger, he quickly picked up his mood, and the one-seventh clearance rate was the lowest among the solo competition dungeons he had conducted, far exceeding the average clearance rate of the solo competition dungeons, but it was so far beyond that there was no point in complaining.

He thought more than Bruno thought.

Now there are actually two ways in front of him, either to kill Zhang Heng and Bruno, become the only remaining players, and complete the main quest this time, there is another choice.

It's to try to think backwards, kill Armstrong and Collins, and make two more slots.

Both plans have their pros and cons, in terms of the success rate of the moon landing, it is undoubtedly better to have Armstrong and Collins as companions than with other players, but it is theoretically easier to take out the unsuspecting Armstrong and Collins, but there is still a big problem here.

That is, after Armstrong and Collins suffered accidents, will there be other astronauts returning, Jia Lai must take this risk into account, in addition, whether Zhang Heng and Bruno will cooperate with him to kill Armstrong and Collins is also questionable, especially for Zhang Heng, killing Armstrong and Collins will not do him any good.

And there is not much time left for Jarley.

With less than ten days to go before the launch of Apollo 11, he now has the upcoming wilderness survival training in front of him.

The fat man finally made up his mind, he didn't want to pin his hopes on the time after the training was over, and he didn't plan to bet on whether there would be other astronauts back to the team.

Still, he decided to take his fate firmly into his own hands, and only he could be trusted at such times.

Jia Lai believed that the other two people thought the same way, so this time he didn't even bother to release smoke again, and pretended to discuss with Zhang Heng the possibility of killing Armstrong and Collins, because it was impossible for Zhang Heng to let down his vigilance, and he was very unbearable in the previous training, but that was not his real strength, just a performance made to lower the vigilance of other players.

And this time he wasn't going to keep his hand any longer.

…………

None of the three on the plane spoke, only the captain was still explaining the skills to be exercised for this wilderness survival. A few hours later, the plane arrived at a landing site in the Nevada desert, where staff were already waiting.

(Errata, I made a mistake in the previous chapter, it should be the desert of Nevada, and there is no desert in Florida.) > people <introspective)
