Qi Zeyue nodded in agreement. "There's no way White would have us make peace with Heiti for no reason, and he must not be so stupid."

Since the United States collapsed in a sudden economic crisis at home a few decades ago, coupled with the rapid rise of economic and military strength in the world, the United States has lost its status as a superpower.

White is a radical populist, originally in the position of director of the FBI for more than 20 years, although he is close to 50 years old, but the whole person's spirit does not seem to be worse than Qi Zeyue and Nikolai, he has been committed to restoring the original hegemony of the United States, in the first ten years of taking office, constantly using the power of the Bureau of Investigation to the government departments of various countries and

The military department carried out infiltration and some covert sabotage, until the appearance of the creature Blackbody.

But even so, the attitude of the U.S. government represented by him has been unpredictable when the infected people are gradually spreading to the whole world, and the United States is the latest country to join the "black body" world joint department, and even after joining, it has been very negative in all the crusades against the infected.

This time he actually took the initiative to discuss peace talks with the infected, and it seems that this action has been implemented very early, and the living space that the black-body infected people need is mainly in the territory of the Republic of Xuya and some of its surrounding countries and regions, the Republic of Xuya has always been one of Russia's important allies, and around the Republic of Xuya, there are also mostly neighbors of China, once this peace negotiation is established, then once the war breaks out again in the future, the first to be affected will inevitably be China and Russia, This is certainly what the Chinese and Russian governments do not want to see.

The content of this peace talks is obviously aimed at China and Russia.

"If White is trying to use the black body against us in order to make the United States reap the benefits of the fisherman, then the situation is not good." Nikolai was worried about this.

"I don't think he or the U.S. government has the strength to control the 'black fog' or even the entire black body infected, the black body itself is an extremely terrifying existence, since their appearance, more than ten years have passed, the power of all mankind has been invested, and in the case of such a huge loss, these species are still able to develop and grow, I am afraid that once they are given a chance to breathe, it will eventually cause irreparable consequences." Nikolai continued, his eyes revealing a deep uneasiness.

"We have not yet found the location of the core organization of the 'Black Mist' organization, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, this war must be very difficult, no matter what, we must try to win the United States as much as possible under all safe circumstances."

Bai Qi followed Qi Zeyue and Nikolai and listened all the way, his heart was very shocked, the United States' attitude towards the black body in this meeting was diametrically opposed to his previous impression of the United States, in some previous propaganda reports, about the United States, although public opinion has a lot of accusations against it, but in general, in the face of the black body of their government, for the US government, the media and public opinion have always praised their positive response to the United States, and they have their own responsibilities as a major country.

The car drove to its destination, and at first Bai Qi picked up the palace-like building they had arrived at, and Bai Qi got out of the car to open the door for Nikolai and Qi Zeyue.

"We're still a few days away, so let's wait and see." Qi Zeyue smiled and said goodbye to Nikolai.

Nikolai nodded. "I have a lot of faith in our fighters."

"Each other, each other."

Time passed in a hurry, and in the past few days before the start of the game, Qi Zeyue took Bai Qi and his party to visit the entire mecha city, a huge city, and there are many places to visit.

The day before the competition, the World United Division announced the schedule of this competition to the world in Mecha City.

This international mecha competition is divided into three major events, namely the individual competition, the multiplayer competition and the final field assault event. As the name suggests, the individual competition is a one-on-one duel between each contestant and the opponent according to the distribution of the entry list, while the multiplayer competition is a multiplayer duel competition with three to four battle groups.

And the most interesting thing is that the last project of this competition, the field assault project, this project is more eye-catching in that this is a game with the VR system as the traction, all the contestants are through the VR instrument into a virtual environment synthesized by the computer system, at the beginning all the contestants do not have their own original control of the mecha or the imitation mecha provided by the previous competition, in addition to the most basic individual combat weapons and equipment, the rest of the mecha, The final destination of the race is a huge mountain modeled on Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain in China, and the world joint department will name it Tiangong, and the participating team will be the first to climb Tiangong and will become the final winner of the game.

Each country will be awarded points according to the ranking of each country in the three competitions, with the last race having the largest proportion of points, and the last country with the most points will become the champion of this competition.

"Have you all seen your roster?" Qiu Ziang lay on the bed and looked at the few people who were playing cards over there.

"You're not talking nonsense, who can't see it, the director sent each of us a list before, and in our own bracelets, we also have our next schedule." Yuwen Tuo didn't look back.

"Why don't you understand the meaning of what I asked, I'm asking who you were up against in the first game." Qiu Ziang said.

"None of them are great people, at least in the first judgment at the moment." Yun Meng replied that most of the first places they faced were some mecha controllers from the imitation mecha unit, and their combat quality was generally much weaker than that of their regular mecha controllers. The solo competition adopts a group qualification system, and there are usually seven to eight players in a group, so it is undoubtedly extremely easy for them to be mecha controllers, and at least in the early stage, they will definitely be able to qualify.

"What is there to say in the first game, even if you lose in the worst case, it won't affect the final result," Yuwen Tuo's luck today is not very good, he has just lost a few games in a row, and he is sweating and shuffling his cards, "If you can't get out of the line, then you will be blind to the mecha you have." ”

Qiu Ziang nodded. "I know, that's not what I'm talking about, do you know who I'm playing against?"

"So what you want to say is this, what a twist and turn." Yuwen Tuo said angrily.

"It's the strongest Ivanovic in the world we met a few days ago!" Qiu Ziang's eyes lit up, "How fortunate I am to have faced such a strong person in the first game, I must find a chance to ask him to sign for me at that time!" ”

"You have it, when do you want to sign it, but at that time." Bai Qi couldn't help but complain.

Qiu Ziang sat up from the bed. "What happened at that time, it was an all-out confrontation between me and him, and even though I was defeated in the end, it was a very good time to sign autographs at that time."

"Doubtfully, I don't think Ivan will use all his strength."

"You!"

"Then congratulations, Xiao Qiu, you will most likely be the only one of our group of mecha controllers who will lose the game in the first game," Zhang Lei said slowly, "and there is a good chance that you won't be able to fight back at all." ”

The crowd laughed.

On December 1, 2082, the first International Mecha Competition officially kicked off.

The start time of the competition was 9 o'clock in the morning, and two hours before the start of the competition, the delegations and competitors were already in place.

There are many venues for the competition, and one venue is provided to each of the three participating teams. With thousands of participants, the single-player tournament is very grand in scale, and the competition venue is already crowded, and the onlookers are waiting with anticrative anticipation for the upcoming mecha feast.

Zhang Lei and Bai Qi were placed in the same group, so they were also assigned to the same venue.

Zhang Lei was the first to play, and he was confronted by a member of the imitation mecha unit named Jason from the United States.

The two sides unfolded their respective imitation mechs into place, and the energy protection barrier in the center of the playing field slowly opened.

The competition table is large enough to imitate mechs, and there is plenty of space for combat and activities.

"Mr. Zhang Lei." The distance between the two people was very close, about ten meters, and Jason opened his mouth to greet Zhang Lei in the preparation time a few minutes before the start of the game.

"I have long heard of Mr. Zhang Lei's prestige, the controller of the Black Bear Mecha."

Zhang Lei smiled. "I don't dare to do it, but I have a big responsibility on my shoulders, and I need to do my best to bear it."

Jason also laughed. "Mr. Zhang's words sound a bit harsh, although your mecha controller is very strong, but the members of our imitation mecha unit are not vegetarians, I have also experienced many battles against the infected, and I am also rich in combat experience, Mr. Zhang, although you are very powerful, but with all due respect, now you are not operating your black bear, but the same imitation mecha as me."

"Does that make a difference?" Zhang Lei asked rhetorically.

On the screen above the center of the playing field, the bell rings to announce the start of the game.

The sound of the bell is full of rhyme, deep and far.
