Chapter 14: Attack
Nataya manipulated the Attacker to remove the high-frequency cutting dagger from his leg, gently crouched under the huge bone claw, and quietly moved to the other side of the bone claw's owner.
Where she descended in the simulated environment was a large hill beetle skeleton, which was incomplete and looked as if it had been badly damaged in her lifetime.
Now, except for a quadruple set of wire-controlled missiles and two daggers, the rest of me has to rely entirely on his own reflexes and the explosive power of the mecha to survive and try to kill other competitors or creatures.
But fortunately, this way of survival is simply no more familiar to Nataya... Whether in reality or in a simulated environment ...
When she touched the other side of the beetle bones on the hill, she found herself on a hill that was not too high, and this skeleton was at the top of the whole hill.
When she manipulated the black attacker to the edge of the top of the hill and looked down, she realized that the position she had appeared in was extremely disgusting...
There is a hive under this hill, and there are all kinds of alien creatures, which are much richer than the natural disasters seen in Zelos, and are basically comparable to the insect swarms seen in Laupa and the special training.
"It's hard to ask for a driver with weak mental power, just to avoid being discovered by these bugs?
No, with the power of the sea of stars, even if only the garrison of the mining area is mobilized, these insects will be killed... ”
Nataya scanned the swarm below as she searched for a way out.
---------------------------------------
"Did someone interfere with the simulator?"
Dr. Wilson, who was sitting in the judging room, looked strangely at the bald head beside him, and another judge with a mask had entered the virtual warehouse, leaving only two judges in the judging room.
"No way... This is a public tender, and the virtual warehouse is a randomly appointed entry location, and if you want to say that there is a problem with the mecha simulation data entry, it is still possible, after all, it is manually checked. But if you want to say that you can cheat by entering a random location, it's just a fantasy... ”
"Then why did she come from a foreign race?"
Dr. Wilson looked strangely at the sand table in the central area, all the current bidding team mechs appeared at the edge of the sand table, only the red Federation Armored Academy mecha suddenly appeared in the center of the swarm.
"I don't know... Let's see."
The bald man touched his chin and looked curiously at the close-up shot of Nataya's black Attacker and the huge sand table in the center on the secondary screen.
----------------------------------------
"Hmmm... There seems to be a path here, and there are no bugs."
Nataya circled around the top of the hill and found that there was a notch on one side of the hill, and the whole hill was like a wave that had slapped ashore and solidified, and she was now at the top of the wave, and in the notch behind the wave, there were almost no bugs.
The black attacker, like a thief who touched the master's bedroom, slid down the shady side of the wave-like hill to the foot of the hill little by little.
"Huh?"
Climbing to the bottom, Nataya realized that maybe there was no swarm here, not because they couldn't come, but because they had been here before, but they were killed...
The notch, near the mountain, was covered with a thick layer of chitin bones, which looked like the remains of a swarm of corpses.
"Why are they all dying here?"
Nataya walked over curiously, and the huge war mech creaked on the ground.
When she approached the side of the recessed hill at the bottom of the hill, she was surprised to find that the recess was not a mountain at all, but a gate with an unknown pattern inscribed.
Nataya approached the gate in the Attacker, only to find that it was slightly taller than the war mech she was piloting, which was a bit of an exaggeration.
You must know that the Attacker is a modified Wolf Warrior II land mecha, and its height has reached about fifteen meters, which is equivalent to the height of the fourth to fifth floors of a normal residential house.
"The wall is scanned, and the energy loop is found"
A pale blue light swept out of the attacker's head, and a moment later, all the mechanisms that could be found in the door were displayed on Nataya's screen.
On the right-hand side of this door, there is an inconspicuous button that is circled in red on the screen.
Judging from the analysis of the entire wall, this should be the mechanism of the energy circuit of the entire gate, which is commonly known as the door lock.
The black Attacker walked over and pressed the circular mechanism with one hand.
With a "boom", the gate engraved with an unknown pattern slowly shrank back to the ground.
Nataya drove the black mecha to the door, watching the gate slowly fall, and the swarthy cave was exposed.
"A strong mental turbulence has been detected, please activate the brainwave protection device and try to keep the manual mode for operation!"
In the cockpit of the attacker, an orange helmet was put on Nataya's head by a mechanical arm, and on the screen of the cockpit, various dots of rays continued to shoot out from the cave door that was gradually opening.
“Uhn dara ma'nakai!”
Just as Nataya was still amazed by this magical cave, suddenly a voice that was both familiar and extremely unfamiliar came from inside the cave entrance.
Nataya's attention was immediately focused, and she sensed a lightning bolt of an object coming towards her front door.
The body, which had been under high-intensity combat training, reacted extremely correctly at this time, only to see the black attacker quickly lean forward, and then the two mechas, which were already holding high-frequency cutting daggers, crossed their weapons diagonally in front of their bodies.
I heard a bone-itching "creak~", and a scythe with a dark green light was just placed not far above the black attacker's head.
Nataya, who had blocked the blow, couldn't help but be stunned when she looked behind the scythe.
Behind this huge dark green scythe, there was nothing but a pitch-black cave.
“Zerashk gulida!”
With a still incomprehensible but ancient cry, the scythe disappeared into the air in an instant, but the sense of threat that broke through the air never disappeared.
"Hell ... What is this... ”
With swarms of bugs outside and a huge scythe at the door, Nataya has no choice.
Only the moment the sickle disappeared, a dodge rushed into the dark cave.
