Chapter 35: Landing
In the dark night sky, dozens of huge landing ships swaggered through the sky over the island, randomly dropping tens of thousands of students onto the long coastline.
The night sky, which had been empty, was immediately filled with orange-red tailitis.
Bai Zhi carefully manipulated the single jetpack, slowed down his descent, and landed steadily on the beach.
Jet backpacks with only a small amount of fuel will end their mission here, and then there will be regular troops to converge on it, although this backward equipment is not worth much, but it can barely last a few years of tinkering, it can save a lot of money, and maybe it will play a little more in a certain war.
All the trainees are wearing dark standard combat uniforms, and the weapons are also standard electromagnetic rifles and short charges, plus military terminals, as well as a single-eye auxiliary system that links the terminals, covering the left eye like a small half of a gas mask, several infantry grenades, a saber, and half a day's food supply, this is a full set of equipment.
As soon as it landed and ended the communication blockade on the wartime communication system, there were bustling voices, most of which were familiar students who were ganging up, and a few voices were complaining about something.
"The sixty-seventh tactical squad, damn it, is there any sixty-seventh tactical squad around, move closer to me, move closer to me!"
"Damn, why is there a little hat there?!"
"Hats? What hats? ”
"You're stupid! This is the Elite Solo Support System! Anti-gravity small monitoring robot! TMD, why did I get an old-fashioned monocular assist system! ”
"Shit! People are powerful and powerful, what's so difficult to get an elite soldier assistance system! ”
"There's a better guy here, this guy is wearing a full-body exoskeleton!"
"Shut up, Lao Tzu is the one who wears an exoskeleton, haven't you heard of the gift package! Lao Tzu's shit luck is so against the sky, and the 500 gift packages randomly distributed were all selected by Lao Tzu, you guys come to bite me! ”
Bundle?! Bai Zhiyi frowned, but the first thing that came to mind was Emperor Dali.
There has never been any big gift package in the previous big competition of the academy, of course, there is no precedent for the children of the powerful to have nothing to do, and the precedent of participating in the Iron Man Tenthlon, plus the army that was dispatched to help is all from the defense army, all of this makes sense.
Since everyone is equipped with a full-body exoskeleton, it is very likely that Dalidi is equipped with power armor that only elite troops are qualified to equip!
As for Emperor Dali not passing the six small competitions, Bai Zhi never thought of this possibility, are you kidding, you can all appear in the queue of active officers in a grand manner, how can a small competition be difficult to win the son of the deputy commander of the guards!
The practice of destroying fairness did not move Bai Zhi, but the power armor that could appear made Bai Zhi very tempted, although this kind of power armor is far inferior to the Starfighter power armor described by the instructor Dahan, but it is a powerful defense, more than 200 kilograms of power bonus, in the eyes of Bai Zhi now, it is an out-and-out artifact!
Space Marines equipped with power armor are the real Star Marines, and now they can't get the legendary Star Marine's special power armor, and two sets of Federation Army power armor can also greatly strengthen their combat power.
At the very least, many tactical moves that require the cooperation of power armor, Bai Zhi can use them boldly with confidence, and he doesn't have to shrink back like now.
Shaking his head, no longer thinking about these useless things, Bai Zhi half-squatted on the beach, looking up at the surroundings.
The dark island is full of rocks, and there is no green vegetation until the end of the line of sight, and the monocular assist system automatically switches to infrared mode, and no one else exists except for the scattered students around.
However, the keen intuition provided by the genetic seed to Bai Zhi made Bai Zhi feel a threat in the dark.
"Switch the thermal imaging mode!"
The monocular assistance system received the command, and the head like a camera rotated slightly, and the world in front of Bai Zhi's eyes became a world outlined by red patches of different shades.
The thermal imaging mode still didn't find anything abnormal, but Bai Zhi felt that a sense of crisis was becoming more and more obvious.
Quietly crouched and retreated, until he immersed his whole body in the seawater, and the sense of crisis that had been hovering over his head finally dissipated.
For the perception of crisis, only a few elite veterans, in the battle of adulthood, have the opportunity to have a similar ability, even with the advanced level of science and technology of the Federation, this sensing ability cannot be fully explained, only a vague comment explains this ability:
Some gifted veterans, after experiencing various forms of battles, will subconsciously classify these battles, and this keen sense of crisis is the result of the subconscious compared with previous battles, taking the enemy ambush as an example, it will always cause certain damage to the environment, such as the abnormal performance of animals, the disappearance of insect calls, and the hovering of birds away from the nest, etc., and these abnormal manifestations are first discovered in the subconscious, which produces a sense of crisis.
This description of the sense of crisis ignores the biggest reason for the sense of crisis: murderousness! This kind of mysterious thing that doesn't even have an official description.
What will happen?
Bai Zhi was not in a hurry, there were not many students on the nearby beach, which was enough to detonate this trap.
Quietly watching the other academies march inland in groups of three or five, Bai Zhi shrank his body in the direction of the sea again.
The first thing to happen was the student who was equipped with a full-body exoskeleton, and this student rushed into the pile of rocks with an exoskeleton that was not weak in defense, and then the figure of this student was engulfed in the fire and smoke from the explosion, and he didn't understand the cause of his death until he died.
As if a chain reaction, the explosions drowned out most of the students, and some of the more cautious students were at a certain distance from the explosion area, and hurriedly found the nearest bunker and hid in a panic.
The wartime communication channel was full of exclamations and curses for a while.
Before the end of the matter and the aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated, clusters of fire suddenly rose from a distance and smashed onto the beach in a parabolic shape, not like cannonballs or anything like that, but like they had been thrown by catapults from primitive times.
The pungent smell of crude oil mixed with the smell of burnt meat spilled into Bai Zhi's nose, and the beach was already in a sea of fire.
The sea of fire on the beach, and the bombs in the pile of rocks, made the students on both sides miserable and in a dilemma, and the next moment, a chaotic shout came from the inland, and through the thermal imaging lens, Bai Zhi saw a large number of humanoid red patches suddenly appear on the horizon, and the crimson muzzle of the gun sprayed out orange lines.
The infantry cadets, who were full of ambition, were stunned by a head-on blow the moment they landed. Between the rocks and the sea of fire, there was a cry of a crying father and a mother.
