Chapter Seventy-Four: The Explorer
The assault rifle fired continuously.
The projectile hit the chest armor, and the mech immediately sparked and fell.
With the sound of the end of the battle from the system, the name of the big sword slashing the world turned gray, and the points and experience on the column jumped into his account without any discipline.
Shi Min stretched out and sat in his position to stretch his muscles.
"Aha, it's finally done."
Xu Yan sent a telegram from the cockpit next door.
"Shi Min, how are you doing over there?"
"The experience points are just enough to rush to lv15, what about you?"
"I got enough experience after the last round, and now it's lv15."
Shi Min glanced at the electronic clock, the time was 5:20 p.m. on the 10th, and there was less than an hour before the registration deadline.
Thankfully, it finally caught up.
In fact, according to Xu Yan's calculations, because of the previous unsuccessful battle and the delay in the recruitment of novices, the originally very reluctant time was a little insufficient, and what was even worse was that after three days of war (and the disguised propaganda of a certain bear child), the NB special operations team became famous, and the general team did not dare to accept the challenge to die, often making the NB special operations captain have nothing to do for several hours, and finally Shi Min came up with a crooked idea and copied the method of "brushing each other" in the previous online games. Have the other four members of the team who have reached the level standard take turns to help with experience points.
At first, the two were also a little apprehensive, after a few days of testing, they found that the monitoring system of this game is strict and abnormal, far from being comparable to ordinary online games, this small means is likely to be exposed on the spot, but the extraordinary period is not so much, the whole team of people hold their breath all day in the VIP room and brush wildly.
But things went unexpectedly well, and so far both of them have successfully advanced to lv15, but none of them have come to interfere.
However, there is still one last hurdle to pass, and I can't be completely assured.
"Brother Dao, let's sign up first, and I'll return the points to you later."
Shi Min knocked on the simulated cockpit road where the big knife cut the world, and soon a cheerful answer came from inside:
"It's okay, just keep it in your account for the time being."
After saying thank you, Xu Yan and Shi Min hurriedly ran downstairs and went to the counter to submit an application to join the competition, and the moment the electronic form was submitted, both of them couldn't help but feel nervous, for fear that they would be told in the next second, "I'm very sorry, because of violating the relevant regulations, your account has been blocked", that would really hit the wall.
Fortunately, this is purely unfounded speculation.
"NB Special Combat Team, a total of six team members have all joined the competition, the number and level have met the requirements, congratulations, your application has been approved, I hope you will achieve better results in the competition."
The waiter said in a respectful tone, as always.
The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and it seemed that this hard work of more than three days was finally in vain.
But in addition to the other five people, the arrival of HERO is an unexpected situation, the two people who received the application to join the team couldn't figure out what this benevolent brother wanted to do at first, HERO himself let go of his mouth and blew nonsense, this Yankee's Chinese learning is quite good, "at first sight", "I hate to see each other late", "I am willing to be friends with Jun Xingguan Bao" and other idioms and classical crackling blows, which made the two liberal arts students a little dizzy.
However, the strength of Hero itself should not be underestimated, and his addition has increased the chances of the entire team by at least two percent.
So of course, the two captains welcomed him warmly, and hurriedly replied with a fleshy sea blow, saying, "We are waiting for Brother HERO, such as Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Dian Wei, hand in hand with you, why not be afraid of big things."
So the five-man team became a six-man team just yesterday.
The competition is scheduled for early January, more than two months later, and of course it is impossible for the two of them to stay in a high-end hotel during this time, and there are final exams, the most terrifying monster of college age, waiting for them.
So Xu Yan decided to go back to the Southern Union University first after handling some of the team's housekeeping, and Shi Min was also ready to take the evening bus back to the university town, and the two said goodbye at the staircase.
"Then I'll withdraw first, and after I go back, study hard every day to serve the motherland and serve the world, don't hang up on the final exam."
Shi Min waved his hand and immediately prepared to flash people, although there was a sand night in the bedroom, but if people were not there for three days, it would be a big trouble if they ran into a ward round or something.
Rao was used to hearing his mouth full of running trains, but Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, why don't you want to talk to me like that nonsense before I go?"
This sentence seems to have a deep meaning.
Shi Min immediately "chuckled" in his heart, and immediately began to pretend to be stupid.
"So what's the point?"
Xu Yan is such a smart girl, of course the other party's behavior did not escape her eyes, but out of politeness, she did not expose it directly, and laughed and accompanied him to pretend to be confused.
"Forget it, let's keep up."
Shi Min breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ran away as if he had been amnestied.
Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, a faint sense of loss quietly appeared on Xu Yan's beautiful face, but it only dissipated like a mist in a short moment. Without stopping at the staircase, she returned upstairs as fast as she could, ready to finish the team's work before the last flight back to the south arrived.
To be honest, she came out of the entire security department on her back, and in the three days that she was away, the fighters of the Southern Union University had already turned the sky upside down.
"Well, it seems good to climb up the pole at that time...... Rely on it, this deal is a big loss. ”
After running away, Shi Min couldn't help but feel annoyed again after thinking about it.
I've been single for 18 years and I've never had the experience of being a sister.,Being attacked so suddenly.,It's really calm.,As a result, if you're not calm, you'll play abnormally.。
About a meter in front of the counter stood a "Heresy Inquisitor", whose face could not be seen clearly, but which looked like a hook in size.
Why is he here?
"Hey, Big Brother Hook, are you waiting for someone?"
Shi Min stepped forward to say hello.
The hook nodded, his eyes as gray as a layer of mist, and he couldn't see a single expression of emotion.
"I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
"Yes, can you give me a few minutes to speak?"
After all, they are members of the same team who will cooperate together in the future, and this request does not seem to be too much.
Shi Min just wanted to agree, but suddenly felt a cold chill flash in the depths of his brain, which was not an instinctive reaction of his body, but seemed to have some kind of external signal quickly transmitted from somewhere.
It's a sand night.
The familiar feeling of the elf made Shi Min determine the source of the signal at the first time, but why didn't she directly use brain waves to transmit information, but in such an inaccurate way? Is it because of the person in front of you?
Thinking of the strange performance of the elusive two days of Sand Night, Shi Min immediately realized that there was a big problem in the middle.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to catch the bus, or leave a mobile phone number later, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, the hook's eyes seemed to jump, and he took a deep breath, as if he had encountered something particularly difficult.
Then he shook his head and said:
"No, no, it's not a big deal, then contact us next time we meet."
Don't dare to stay longer, Shi Min immediately changed his mask on the counter, and fled out of the game city to run, although the hook didn't seem to catch up, but Shi Min still didn't feel at ease, and almost rushed all the way to the station, just a bus full of herbal tea advertisements was about to leave the platform.
Damn, it's too faceless!
Shi Min didn't know where the strength came from in a hurry, so he jumped on the bus that was about to close the door in one step, and ran to the back seat and sat down under the horrified eyes of the driver and passengers.
"Don't relax so early, someone has already transferred a van killer to chase you."
The leisurely sound of the sand night sounded in Shi Min's ears, so frightened that the first-grade rookie almost died of a heart attack, and hurriedly turned his head to look back, but his head hit the glass window with a loud bang without paying attention.
It hurts, it hurts!
Fortunately, there were very few passengers on this bus, and Shi Min's position was at the back, so no one heard the movement here.
"Lie to you, don't get so excited."
"Daddy, is this kind of joke made by people?!"
"It's just that you're too excited, I'm just asking you not to entangle with this guy more, your current performance is too exaggerated, and it's easier to arouse people's suspicion."
Sha Ye's dissatisfied criticism almost made Shi Min crazy, and he couldn't read minds, so how could he understand so many twists and turns.
But wait, that's not the critical issue.
"Hey, what the hell have you been doing these two days, first at the Hilton Hotel, and then in the VIP room, your behavior is abnormal, and who is that guy, what are you suspicious of?"
For such a large list of questions, Sand Night just replied coldly:
"Why did you tell you?"
Although he was beside him, the aura on Sha Ye's body suddenly became extremely indifferent, so cold that he was thousands of miles away, as if he was talking to a stranger who had nothing to do with him.
So Shi Min's rational nerves were cut off, and the fire was fully detonated like a powder keg that had been shot, and his emotions rushed out of the cage uncontrollably, and he almost wanted to pull off the seat immediately and slap a guy on her clever head.
Without hiding the angry thoughts in her brain, Shi Min pointed to the tip of her nose and roared in a low and terrifying voice:
"Because Lao Tzu is your partner, now there is one is one, and one is one and one is a paragraph to tell me immediately, otherwise be careful Lao Tzu goes home and beats until you say it!"
At this moment, the bus pulled into the extra-long tunnel leading to the university town, and the orange lights and dark shadows quickly switched between the carriages, making the elf's face unrecognizable for a moment.
Sha Ye didn't speak, and Shi Min didn't speak, and the two looked at each other from a distance of about half a meter.
"Huh, I didn't expect you to say something cruel in a few days, or this is an early symptom of the second disease in youth."
Sand Night seemed to sigh slightly.
She offered to compromise, probably for the first time since they had met.
"It's probably a bit long to say, and you don't necessarily understand it, are you sure you still want to hear it?"
"No matter how long the class is, it's not as long as the class is 45 minutes, and no matter how long you don't understand, there is no girl's mind that people don't understand, so it doesn't matter."
Shi Min pushed back impatiently, thinking to himself, why are you talking more nonsense than me, who did you learn from this.
Sand Night showed a helpless expression of "I can't help you" and began his own narrative:
"First of all, the sensor operator and the probe, which one do you know?"
"The induction device knows a thing, the observer .......... completely unaware of it."
Just six days ago, he had a battle with a terrorist in a mecha [Gustav] equipped with a sensor control device, and he had a rough understanding of this system, and the latter had no impression at all.
"If that's the case, let's just say that the Explorer was created as a companion part to the induction-operated device."
"Parts?"
"As early as the end of the last century, military experts in the United States and Europe have completed the initial version of this new equipment that uses brain waves as a control medium, and tried to install it on conventional weapons such as fighter jets to enhance combat effectiveness.
Shi Min didn't ask what happened later, because the answer was obvious - he knew that now, all standard equipment, including mechas, was still the most simple manual operation.
Sand Night continued:
"But of course the outcome is a failure, and the irony is that the problem is not with the device but with the driver, because the human brainwave transmission is too easily disturbed by the driver's emotions, leading to all kinds of non-technical problems. Moreover, the experiment also found that for the average driver, the reaction speed of the reflex nerve in an emergency is much faster and more accurate than the direct control of the central nervous system, so this device has come to an end in mass production. ”
"But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the device itself, it's just that it's difficult for the average driver to maneuver, but if the driver has a strong brainwave control ability, then the device can definitely exert more power than conventional means of operation. Part of the concept was absorbed by Nortel's technicians, and the final result was me and the special [Tapir C1], which tried to use artificial electronic elves as a relay to reduce the operating burden of the pilot, and simplify the control system to match the reaction speed of humans. Unfortunately, this scaled-down version of the operating system is still too fast and difficult for the average person to be driven for more than a year. ”
Needless to say, the rest of the things are a little uncomfortable, what makes the first-year rookie feel a little uncomfortable is that he didn't feel any other discomfort except for feeling that the landline response was a little too agile at the beginning, could it be that he wasn't even a human anymore?
"And what is a Seeker?"
"The product of those one-tendon scientists on the other side of the ocean, the workaround in the East is to replace it with artificial products, while the scientists in the West dig out their minds to dig out human beings suitable for this device from the earth, this kind of guy is the so-called explorer, the only person who can perfectly exert the combat effectiveness of the induction operation mecha, the military and the research institute as a tactical resource for the baby domestication, quite ironically, although they are nominally human, but they live more like mecha parts than our artificial electronic elves."
Shi Min struggled to piece together clues in his brain, and he felt that an image was slowly taking shape.
"Could it be that [Gustav] is ..........?"
Sand Night smiled appreciatively.
"The reaction is a lot faster than before, that's right, that mecha is specially made from the inside out except for the skeleton, and the brainwave frequency of the activation system is not at all what humans can have, it should be said that it is a special weapon tailored for demons, although you are very talented in this area, and I have also debugged the brainwave management system to cooperate with your actions, but the combat effectiveness you have exerted ......... It's only about 9%. ”
It's too low, isn't it not even a tenth.
Although Shi Min knew that his performance at that time was average, he didn't expect the value to be so bad.
"Hell, that explorer can't really be a youkai! But what does it matter? ”
To this question, Sand Night answered very quickly:
"That's right, five of the sorority; Of course, NCE are monsters, and because of the relationship between brain waves, there can also be a perverted sensing effect between monsters. ”
"Joint ...... Association? ”
Suddenly, a new term popped up, and Shi Min felt a little unable to adapt.
"Forgotten? slaughtered a squad of policemen; Cha, blowing up the port to the bottom, is their masterpiece. ”
"Poof, terrorists, wait, is that one and the hook at the Hilton ......"
Thinking of having been in close contact with this terrible commodity so many times, Shi Min felt that his heart could hardly bear the stimulation.
"Don't get excited, it's not a big deal."
"I'll go, it's not a big deal, is it going to blow up the truck and kill it at the door, rely on it, mobile phone, mobile phone, I want to inform Xu Yan, and if you continue to play, you have to die."
A dagger-like cold glint flashed in the sandy night's eyes.
"Yo, the relationship is so good, why don't you want to think about your life for the first time?"
Shi Min's instinct told him that if he didn't answer well, it might lead to a tragedy of being dismantled with a kitchen knife when he slept at night. But in a hurry, I couldn't think of any safe sentences, so I had to talk nonsense.
"Well, there's no way, she's the most interested in this competition, and of course the danger is much higher than mine."
I don't know why, Sand Night's mood suddenly dropped.
"Don't worry, what I detected at the Hilton Hotel is indeed an unadulterated deathmaker and a madman, but I'm not sure about the hook, after all, although the existence of explorers is rare, it doesn't mean that all explorers are terrorists, besides...... Do you think that kind of super tyrant will make a special trip to make this little money? ”
