As soon as you enter [Zero Battle], you are as deep as the sea, and from then on you will be a passerby. The [Zero Battle] system is a mecha battle game that is popular in the Republic of Asgardia, with hundreds of thousands of built-in mecha of all kinds, providing players with a real mecha operation experience.

Today, the fifth graduation assessment of the Zichuan Senior Police Academy will be conducted in a special customized version of the [Zero Battle] system.

Mission Code: [Vice].

Objective: Eliminate the robbers and rescue the hostages.

Countdown to start the mission: 00:03:38.

Mission Background: On the 49th floor of the [Zichuan-Yue] Building, a group of heavily armed robbers robbed a technology company and successfully stole an advanced space propulsion technology. They used the lives of the 33 technical engineers in their hands as bargaining chips to demand that the police release air traffic control so that they could escape. After four hours of negotiations, the robbers gradually lost their patience. After the robbers brutally killed a hostage, the police decided to attack.

The action plan was developed by Willis, the mentor of the graduates. Team A will penetrate the floor slab from the 50th floor, while Group B will penetrate the glass curtain wall from the façade of the building. The two squads are like the jaws of a vice, and they are launched in unison to annihilate the robbers in one fell swoop!

As in the previous four assessments, after completing the task, each student can earn a certain number of points based on their performance.

This point can be accumulated and finally credited to the graduate's personal system, which becomes an important reference standard for recruiters.

————————————

The dreary night was like a dark blue velvet blanket, enveloping the city of Zichuan within the simulation system.

The dark blue canopy is dotted with sparse constellations, like sparkling rhinestones on a velvet carpet.

Like an unsheathed sword, the [Zichuan-Yue] building pierced into the sky in a posture of staring, and the pointed roof disappeared into the milky white clouds.

In the hazy starlight, two Zichuan police-standard [Watchman] mecha were tightly attached to the glass exterior wall of the 115th floor of [Zichuan-Yue]. The mech's optical livery reflects the starlight, making them blend perfectly with the building in the night, like two silent ghosts.

Li Huaxia, the driver of [Watchman] No. 018 posted on the façade of [Zichuan-Yue], received a message: "It's the last time, are you nervous?" ”

"Nervous fart, this time we're playing soy sauce! Hmph, who let 'that guy' have a good father! Li Huaxia quickly typed out a line of words on the mecha keyboard and replied to the [Watchman] No. 019 beside him.

The robbers in action are all played by intelligent AI, and they are vulnerable to the elite of the police academy who are like wolves and tigers!

According to the plan of action, the seven mechs of Group A will first contact the robbers and be responsible for rescuing the hostages. The two B-class mechs are responsible for clearing the level of vigilant bandits. If there are no accidents, the two mechs in Group B will receive far fewer points than Group A.

In the first 4 assessments, the first place in the points was Li Huaxia, the pilot of [Watchmen] 018, and the second place was Cheng Jinan, the leader of Group A.

Cheng Jinan's father is in a high position in the Zichuan Police Department and is the target of his mentor Willis. Therefore, in the assessment, Cheng Ji Nan received a lot of special attention. This made his points tightly bite the first place Li Huaxia.

If Li Huaxia can't continue to maintain his advantage in this assessment, he is likely to be surpassed by Cheng Jinan in one fell swoop in the standings.

As one of the best graduates of this class, Li Huaxia has been among the best in every subject during his four years at the Zichuan High Police (Note 1), and his mecha piloting and hand-to-hand combat are invincible opponents of the Zichuan High Police Force. This time he was assigned to group B to play soy sauce, and he was very dissatisfied.

If he loses in a dignified manner, Li Huaxia has nothing to say, but if he doesn't even have a chance to perform, who will accept it?!

The countdown is over, and [Watchmen] 018 has been activated.

It is like a dexterous ape with suckers on all fours, climbing down against the façade of the [Zichuan-Yue] building. Mecha 019 was five meters away from him, tacitly doing the same thing. Two 15-ton mechs moved with ghostly movements without a sound.

The bright moon peeked out of the clouds, and the stealth paint of the two mechs reflected the moonlight and clouds like glass, fooling the robbers' drones into close detection! They operate according to textbook standards, arriving at the predetermined place at the scheduled time.

A 5-second countdown appeared on the information screen of the cockpit of Mech 018 again. This shows that Group A has reached the predetermined position and will attack in 5 seconds.

At this time, Mecha 018 suddenly activated! The power jet on the back and under the feet of the mecha spews out a dark blue tail flame, giving the mecha a huge kinetic energy, making the mecha roar into the sky!

With the activation of Mecha 018, the entire operation command center exploded, and it was as if a bomb had been dropped in the quiet ring hall.

Many students who participated in the assessment roared angrily: "Li Huaxia, what are you doing!" Stop it! ”

Of course, the command center can't be full of idiots. A calm and powerful hand turned off all communication channels, and coldly spat out two words in a calm voice:

"Action!"

The sudden activation of the No. 018 mecha will definitely alarm the robbers, now is not the time to hold them accountable, if you want to complete the mission, there is only one way: attack immediately!

Hearing this command, the seven mechs of Group A showed their poisonous fangs like poisonous snakes lurking in dark corners!

On the holographic screen of the command center, large and small pictures show the battle situation in the building.

The rumbling sound of an explosion came back from the scene, ringing in everyone's headphones, and various energy rays filled the hologram projection.

After 3.5 seconds, everything calmed down.

The [Zero Battle] system calculates the battle loss ratio and displays it:

16 robbers: all dead.

32 hostages: 1 killed, 2 seriously injured, 4 lightly injured.

Mech Loss: 0.

Police officer losses: 0.

"Damn Li Huaxia, is he an idiot?" I don't know from which corner, a low curse was heard, and then someone began to echo it.

If Li Huaxia hadn't disrupted the deployment by his unauthorized actions, there would have been no casualties among the hostages at all. All students who took the assessment can expect that the rating of this assessment will be significantly reduced, and the number of points they can earn will also be greatly reduced.

For a while, countless communication data streams rushed to [Watchman] 018, and finally turned into sound waves that entered Li Huaxia's ears.

"Idiot, you pay me back my points!" "Li Huaxia, if you mess around again, you shouldn't be allowed to participate in the graduation assessment!"

"A bunch of idiots!" Li Huaxia's mocking voice was transmitted back to the command hall, and then the communication was cut off.

Soon everyone saw that the situation was not right, because the [Zero Battle] system did not end the simulation, indicating that the mission was still continuing!

There was no shortage of attentive people in the command hall, and soon someone discovered the crux of the problem: only 16 robbers were killed in the building, and the total number of robbers should be 17!

"No, there are robbers who have escaped with space propulsion technology!" One of the cadets in charge of communications shouted.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the hologram screen in the command hall, and now there was only one hologram left, and that was [Watchmen] 018.

The mecha that soared into the sky was like an elegant white crane, breaking through the sound barrier in an instant, and it only took two seconds to land on the roof of the [Zichuan-Yue] Building......

Then, the micro-missile launch nest on the mecha's shoulder let out a shrill whistle-like hiss, shooting out six [Cuckoo] missiles in one go.

Six missiles hit the wing of a small transport aircraft that had already entered the suspension state with 5 times the speed of sound, successfully shooting it down.

The trainees in the command center just now were either immersed in the joy of completing the task, or they were accusing Li Huaxia. The tight blockade of [Zichuan-Yue] has also become full of holes, and it is really easy for the cunning robbers to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

Fortunately, there is [Watcher] 018, if it is slow by one second, I am afraid that everyone will only fail in this assessment.

The consequence of the failure of the mission is that all the students have zero points in this assessment, and they will always be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Zichuan High Police.

"Yay!" There was a burst of cheers in the circular hall of the command center, and everyone high-fived each other.

- Everyone is glad that they have kept their points, and the person who keeps everyone's points is precisely the idiot they just said.

The transport plane that fell on the roof ignited a raging fire, reflecting the vast roof in a bright light. There was a piercing metal tearing sound, and a hole was broken in the belly of the transport plane like tearing paper, and in the firelight, a black shadow slowly walked out of the transport plane.

It was a somewhat slender mech, and the burgundy livery of the mecha reflected the firelight, red like a sunset hanging in the sky.

Compared to the majestic and domineering [Warden], this mecha is like a beautiful statue, and it is not vulnerable at all.

However, seeing the burgundy mecha that appeared in the hologram, a large wail rang out from the command center.

"What's the matter, is [Zero War] crazy? This is our graduation assessment, what's the matter with getting a [Butterfly]! ”

"Fantasy stream mecha have appeared, should the painting style be a little more magical! There's a bug in the system, right?! ”

"Mentor, stop the assessment, this is too abnormal......"

- In the [Zero Battle] system, there are two main types of mechas. The realist mecha is faithful to the parameters of the real mecha and is mainly used for actual combat simulation. The fantasy mecha, on the other hand, is imaginative, designing many functions that cannot be achieved by current technology, mainly for game entertainment.

A fantasy mecha appeared on the simulation platform for the graduation assessment, like a Tyrannosaurus rex in the middle of a group of tigers. Let the assessment completely lose its meaning.

If Willis had the authority to end the assessment, he would not hesitate to announce the end of the assessment.

With the advanced technology of fantasy mecha that violates the principles of modern science, it will only be a one-sided slaughter against the active police [Watchmen]!

In the [Zero Battle] system, Li Huaxia turned off the communication with the command center.

[Watcher] 018 made a majestic electronic voice: "The fantasy mecha is amazing, there is only one result when you meet Lao Tzu - death!" ”

In the face of the invincible fantasy mecha, [Watcher] 018 stretched out his right hand, thumbs down, and stood proudly in the cold moonlight!
