Although tragic things abound in the wasteland, it is a completely different picture where players are active.

The "PVP" arena at Camp 101.

Two "Xiaguang Type II Experimental Version" power armors are fighting together, and dazzling sparks are flying between steel and steel!

As the only arena in the alliance that is divided into high and low, life and death, this is a battlefield that only players can set foot on.

Generally speaking, unless they want to compete with their good friends, real high-level players rarely come here to waste time.

However, because the arena occasionally launches some experimental equipment, you can get a bounty and contribution points no matter whether you win or lose when you sign up to participate in the test. Therefore, this facility is quite popular with new players below the T3 echelon.

The two brothers fighting here right now are the best among the newcomers!

The one with the red identification strip is [Born in Summer] from the Abstract Corps, and the one with the blue identification strip is [Litang Tiger] from the Climber Corps!

Since the Type II experimental version of Xiaguang replaced the front armor with ceramic steel and strengthened the front armor at the expense of mobility, neither side's explosive shells could do anything to each other.

After emptying all the bullets in the magazine, the red and blue sides almost simultaneously pulled out their combat knives and hatchets in tacit agreement, and entered into the joyful hand-to-hand encounter amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

And the atmosphere of the entire battle was pushed to a climax with the adrenaline-soaring battle!

“What a great summer!

!”

"Fuck him! Hit him on the head!"

“Abstract Corps is awesome!

!”

"Ouch!"

"Fuck! Brother Tiger, can you do it?"

"Shall I test you——"

The noise in the viewing area continued, and the same noise could not stop in the arena.

The red and blue sides were fighting passionately while shouting non-stop on the communication channel.

At first, Xia Tian was born and had the upper hand, unilaterally suppressing the Litang Tiger.

However, due to the aggressive rhythm of the attack, the bulky Xiaguang II lost its balance for a moment. Xia Tiansheng stumbled and hit the Litang Tiger's chest. Seizing the opportunity, the latter struck him with a hatchet.

If the ax was a hot-melt cutting axe, Xia Tian, ​​who had bent his waist and hit Brother Hu's chest, would have turned into a roast chicken that was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. And there was no way the combat knife in his hand could penetrate the front armor made of ceramic steel.

.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs on the battlefield.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Abstract Corps is completely incomparable with the Climber Corps that stood out in the Battle of Heaven, fighting alone and fighting in a corps are also completely different concepts.

Precisely because none of the teammates is reliable, each of the four senior leaders of the Abstract Corps has rich battlefield survival experience and the ability to adapt to changes.

The window for counter-attack flashed away!

Just when the ax hit his lower back hard for the second time, he took advantage of the moment when the opponent's center of gravity was pressed behind him, raised his arms violently, kicked up with his feet, and actually directly hit the opponent.

The Litang Tiger on his body was completely uprooted and pushed behind him!

"I'm testing——!"

Amidst the exclamations of the audience, Brother Hu let out an unwilling roar, rolled over Xia Tian's back headfirst, and fell heavily to the ground on his back.

“Boom!

"

The billowing dust rose up, and he was about to get up after being thrown to pieces. The combat knife had already reached the gap between his helmet and shoulder armor, and a slap was pressed firmly on his shoulder.

head on.

Xia Tian, ​​who was out of breath, grinned ferociously, pressed the guy's helmet firmly, and said proudly.

"Don't move, be honest!"

"@#%!"

The Litang Tiger was so angry that it itched its teeth. After struggling several times and being unable to move, it had no choice but to give up.

According to the PK rules, if either party loses the ability to resist, the PK is deemed to be over.

The winner receives a bonus bonus.

After the judgment is completed, if either party continues to fight, it will be regarded as a violation and punished.

The design of this rule is mainly to reduce the loss of equipment.

Although the power armor in the arena is a stripped-down version, such as replacing the ultra-long-lasting nuclear battery with a hydrogen battery that can only last one battle, other components are still valuable.

At the moment when the victory or defeat was determined, a line of text floated across the big screen.

[The game ends, the red team wins]

[Winner ID: Born in summer]

The viewing area outside the arena erupted in excited cheers, especially those players who had won money by betting, and stood up and shouted excitedly.

Standing in the center of the onlookers, the lawless maniac clapped his hands, smiled like a worldly expert, and commented eloquently.

"Not bad, not bad. It has one-third of the style I had when I dominated the arena."

[I feel sleepy when I wake up] standing next to me rolled my eyes.

"Stop bragging! And how many levels are you already at? Isn't it interesting to compete with newcomers?"

The outlaw laughed and said.

"Isn't this compared to me at the same time? I was still a newcomer when I dominated the arena!"

When I wake up, I feel sleepy: "You've only won a few times in total, so you've become the dominant one!"

Outlaw: "It doesn't matter! I have a high winning rate!"

Feeling sleepy when I wake up: “@#%!”

[I am responsible for dying first] who stopped applauding sighed, looked at the two of them helplessly and said.

"...You have this time to argue, why not go down and practice."

Due to the shocking actions of some players, the player viewing area and the NPC viewing area have been separated since 6.

The former is mainly open to players who have nothing to do and come to watch the excitement, while the audience of the latter is mainly the researchers, engineers and students of Camp 101.

It is precisely for this reason that the NPC viewing area is much quieter than the player viewing area. Not only do you need to wear headphones to hear the sounds of the battle, but the communication atmosphere is also more academic.

"The hardness of the ceramic armor is somewhat beyond expectations..."

"Well...it hit 10 explosive rounds in a row without any damage, and even blocked a portable armor-piercing round with a penetration depth of 350 mm."

"This guy is like a walking chariot..."

"The failure of the armor-piercing bullet to penetrate should be caused by the gap armor, not entirely due to the ceramic steel."

"Not necessarily. You have to disassemble the armor lining near the impact point to confirm."

"I'm wondering what kind of personal equipment can destroy this thing from the front..."

"Is it too early to think about this?"

"It's not too early. The diffusion of technology is a matter of time. I'm sure the Legion is already considering this issue. We have to predict their solutions and consider countermeasures before they find a solution."

Sitting in the corner of the viewing area, Xia Yan, wearing headphones, stared thoughtfully at the notebook in his hand.

As the designer of the entire armor, her focus is not on a single module on the armor, but on the entire armor as a whole.

She has been building equipment for players since before the birth of the Alliance. She understands the players' fighting style better than anyone here, and how to give them the greatest advantage in a specific battlefield environment.

And this is exactly what Chu Guang once told her, "the unique and irreplaceable talent that only she has."

Since she understood this, she has never been confused because she "doesn't have the talent to awaken" and "can't find the value of my existence".

Through observing the battle just now, new inspiration had arisen in her mind.

It's just that the inspiration for the model lake is still very abstract in her mind for the time being.

She needed some time to organize it into something concrete and integrate it into the original design scheme.

"...I'm sorry, I still need a little more time. Can you wait for me a little longer? Ten minutes...uh, maybe half an hour, no more than an hour at most!"

Holding his messy fiery red hair, Xia Yan raised his head from the screen and looked at Alyssa sitting opposite with an apologetic look, showing a pleading look.

Due to their similar majors, Alyssa got very close to Xiaoyu and became good friends with her.

However, Xiaoyu and Payin have been busy with exchange-related projects in Shuguang City recently, so they have been going to the cafeteria these days to eat.

Xia Yan's troubles could be seen from the frown, Alyssa smiled and said softly.

Xia Yan, who was busy looking at the screen, nodded hurriedly. She was already in the mood and didn't even have time to move her eyes away.

"Yeah! Have a nice trip! Oh no, remember to come back later!"

"Don't worry, there's no way I could leave you alone to have dinner... I'll be back soon."
To be continued...
