Chapter 4: Uneasiness beyond the ice
Seeing his teammates lose to this monster-like opponent in front of him one after another, BIA hated and helpless for a while.
She would love to prove herself to RBS and that her team isn't as bad as he says it is. But he also knew very well that he couldn't beat the guy in front of him.
This paradoxical thought made her feel helpless like never before.
Eventually, she made up her mind.
"Zihan...... Code name VLS. BIA said to the VLS, who was still able to move, "In a moment, follow my command to attack." β
But the VLS, who was ordered, retorted very unconvinced: "Hey! You're naΓ―ve, aren't you? My attack won't hit him at all! β
"Yes, I know that." BIA explained as calmly as she could, "But you should have more firepower, right?" β
VLS was silent for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "There should be an energy cannon in my body, but the interface shows that this weapon takes 20 seconds to prepare. β
After thinking for a moment, BIA nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you delay as much as possible." β
RBS, who had been waiting for a long time, said at this time: "Why don't you two come together, the result will be the same anyway." β
But BIA, who had already made up her mind, replied firmly: "No, I'm enough alone!" β
"Are you confident?" RBS said with great interest, "Come on, let me see what you are capable of as a captain." β
BIA quickly set up the mechanical longbow in his hand, condensed the air on the string into a hard ice arrow, and shot it at the RBS.
Unsurprisingly, the blow was easily blocked by RBS with a heavy sword.
Then, BIA activated the thrusters on his back and sent himself into the air to shoot another ice bolt.
RBS easily took the arrow with his left hand.
Immediately afterwards, the BIA changed the direction of the thrusters and rushed from the air to the RBS.
In an instant, the longbow and heavy sword collided with each other, sending out a dazzling spark.
Then BIA very wisely took advantage of the thrust of RBS and jumped to the ground not far away, ending the stalemate in the shortest possible time.
But the moment BIA landed, the ice arrow that was caught by RBS before was thrown by him again.
Without hesitation, BIA rolled sideways without hesitation, barely dodging the blow.
"It's now!" BIA suddenly shouted.
But RBS was not hit by VLS's heavy fire attack as she expected.
Even, nothing happened.
BIA looked at VLS in surprise.
Then she saw a picture that led her to complete despair.
VLS, whose body had already completed most of its heavy fire transformation, was shot by the ice arrow and stuck at the deformation joint.
Seeing the miserable VLS due to the inability of the components to return to their positions, BIA first felt helpless, and then gradually began to blame himself.
At this time, RBS made a final comment: "As a captain, it is still relatively smart to be able to use players to cooperate. But you don't have the judgment that a captain should have.
Sooner or later, you're going to hurt your teammates because of this. β
This word was like a red-hot needle, stinging Shangguan Jing's heart as a human being.
RBS, which has already concluded its evaluation, has no intention of stopping there.
He slowly walked over to BIA, who was lying on the ground, and grabbed BIA by the neck with his left hand, lifting her in mid-air.
"Now that your team has fallen, it's a little out of place for you to be standing." RBS said coldly.
Then, he slammed BIA against the wall.
The severe pain from the pain simulator almost disconnected Shangguan Jing's consciousness from BIA.
And because of this, she saw a picture that she will never forget.
Having completed the task, RBS slowly walked towards VLS, used his left hand to pull out the ice arrow stuck between VLS's body amid VLS's screams, and kicked down VLS, which was no longer human, and then walked to his carrying compartment as if nothing happened, and exited the training ground.
This training, as a result of the annihilation of their army, ended.
ββ
At dinner time, the four members of the 0-1 test team sat silently at the dining table, silently looking at the sumptuous meal on their plates.
Today's special training made them face their weakness for the first time, and also made them realize the horror of this Ark, codenamed RBS.
"Hey, what kind of energy did you say that guy was using to attack?" Li Moxin, who was beaten the most, was the first to speak to break the suffocating atmosphere, but he was so lifeless.
"I don't know, I didn't see any energy released from his sword." Xu Linfeng analyzed.
"Doesn't it mean that the second word of the air's code name is the energy used by the body's attack? Just think about his code name, the full name, don't you know? Zhao Zihan said in a more optimistic tone as much as possible.
"Red Burn Saber, Red Burn Swordsman." This time, Shangguan Jing analyzed, "Judging from the full name of the codename, the energy he uses should be fire." β
"What?" Xu Linfeng was taken aback by Shangguan Jing's conclusion, "In other words, all of his attacks today are purely the power he used!" β
Shangguan Jing nodded lightly.
For a moment, the air was quiet again.
After a while, it was Li Moxin who was the first to speak: "By the way, since everyone will be friends with Leviathan in the future, why don't you tell each other why you became Brave!"
I'll ...... first."
Li Moxin suddenly stood up, raised his head with his chest straight, and said proudly with open arms: "I am here to be able to fight Leviathan, and then become the strongest hero, so that everyone in Harbor can know my name!" β
As soon as the words fell, the other three showed expressions that were trying to hold back a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" I'm serious!
"Hey, big hero, do you know how many people live in all the Harbors?" Zhao Zihan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bubbling braised pork, slowly put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly.
Then he slowly added: "There are more than 3 billion people living in the Asian space station where we are located. Plus the other three, how can there be more than 7 billion people.
How can you make your name known to all? β
"That's not simple, as long as it's strong enough, it can be famous in the entire human society!" Li Moxin said very confidently.
Zhao Zihan then poured cold water and said, "But didn't you just lose to RBS today?" β
"I'm talking about the future!" Li Moxin sat down a little dissatisfied, probably because he couldn't swallow this breath, so he asked Zhao Zihan again, "What about you?" Why did you want to be Brave? β
Zhao Zihan replied truthfully: "Of course, it is to be able to provide value to Harbor, although there are also people who want to be the strongest Brave, but let's take one step at a time, first consider how to provide protection for the staff on the earth, and then talk about the rest." β
Li Moxin responded provocatively: "Cut, it's not like you're trying to be in the limelight, it's similar to me." β
"Well, you two are quite alike." Xu Linfeng said with a smile.
"Hey, hey! Brother Lin Feng! Li Moxin turned his face to Xu Linfeng and asked, "Why do you want to be a Brave?" β
"Me?" Xu Linfeng looked at Shangguan Jing, "Actually, it's because I've been friends with Shangguan since I was a child, so I came in with her." β
"Hey, don't talk about it and get it on me!" Shangguan Jing replied with some embarrassment.
At this time, Li Moxin shifted the target again: "Then captain, what is your reason?" β
Shangguan Jing's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, but he still slowly spoke under Li Moxin's enthusiastic gaze: "I was actually chosen by Lighthouse.
Because my parents were sent to work on Earth at a very young age, I was always fostered in Lighthouse, and then one time, Lighthouse executives suggested that I become a Brave, saying that it would protect my family......"
"This, that's it." Li Moxin, who realized that he had stepped on a minefield, slowly lowered his head, picked up chopsticks, and ate dinner carefully.
Shangguan Jing squeezed out a smile and comforted Li Moxin: "It's okay, it's all over." Let's all start eating, everyone is quite tired today. After eating early, you can go back to rest. β
After speaking, Shangguan Jing also picked up the chopsticks and started......
ββ
12 p.m. East 8 Earth time.
Shangguan Jing opened her eyes and lay on the bed looking at the ceiling.
Then, she turned her head to look at the attached helmet on the table, and RBS's words rang in her head again.
Today is the second time that she has felt uncomfortable because of the words spoken by others.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jing suddenly said to herself: "Speaking of which, that Brave called 'Bai Qi' will use that type of Ark?" β
