Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 350 Surrounding!

The dark crow people came to inquire about the news, they wanted to silence it!
They...are they planning to kill Valentina in the match?
Right under the eyes of everyone?
are you crazy?
No... No, they are not crazy - this match is the best opportunity to kill.

In the last competition, Valentina accidentally killed a contestant, but the punishment she faced was only disqualification from the competition. Not only was she not suspended, she did not even have to bear the relevant criminal responsibilities... ...Although the rules of this session have become stricter, if a manslaughter incident occurs, the contestants still have the right to criminal immunity - after all, the competition uses real guns and live ammunition, and it is almost impossible to prevent accidental injury and manslaughter at all. possible things.

If they killed Valentina in the competition, as long as they were judged as "manslaughter" instead of "intentional murder", they would only face a fine of no more than 300,000 credits and more than three years, 15 years The following suspension penalty is nothing more than that.

Even if the circumstances are extremely bad, for example, if the opponent has completely lost the ability to resist and still does not cease fire and the opponent dies, at most it will be banned for life.

The price of killing is too low...

Even if the Raven Club will be pushed to the forefront of public opinion because of this, for the guy hiding behind the scenes, the loss is at most a club and the careers of a few ace pilots—the club can change its name and start over again. Formation, the ace pilot can also be retrained, or simply wait for the transfer period to poach from other clubs... Problems that can be solved with money are not called problems.

Ke Lan's first thought after he realized it was to give up the game - if they continued to compete, they would probably have to face three ace pilots who were determined to kill them. These people would not care about other players. Don't care about the ranking of the game.The rules of the competition can no longer restrain them, they are no longer contestants, but killers who are ordered to act... Their goal is no longer the champion, but Valentina's life.

This is no longer a point-to-point competitive game, but a life-and-death fight.

Giving up the game and retreating unscathed may be the most sensible choice at the moment. This is just a game. The goal of Valentina and Chi Hanfeng at the beginning: to raise medical expenses—it has also been achieved. may place them in danger.

but……

If you propose to abandon the game at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling that person that you have already noticed the opponent's movement... Will doing so cause the opponent to take more aggressive actions?
Ke Lan couldn't tell.

If they choose to participate, as long as they can get rid of the three members of the Raven Club, they can also use this competition as an opportunity to expose the opponent's conspiracy under the eyes of tens of millions of viewers. This will not only form a kind of protection for themselves, but also Maybe, he might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to find out the guy who entrapped the Strangler Squadron back then.

In the end is to break when it is broken, or to plan?

Ke Lan hesitated for a while, then walked to the dining table.

"Major Chi, Old Dog... and Zofia, come to my room. Also, Akira Asano, guard the door for us, and don't allow anyone to approach, not even your own people."

Ke Lan's expression was very serious, and the hound, who was telling Layton and others a dirty joke, suddenly sensed something was wrong, shut his mouth immediately, and drew back to follow.

Chi Hanfeng and Zofia didn't say much, and quickly followed Ke Lan into the room.

Ke Lan closed the door, while Asano Akira stood with his back against the door, holding the sheath like a sentinel.

"There is one thing, I need to ask for your opinions... In addition, I also told this matter to Asano Akira, after all, you are also one of the contestants." Ke Lan said, he knew, with Asano Akira's hearing ability , He could hear clearly what they were talking about in the room, so that among the three contestants, only Valentina was ignorant.

Ke Lan directly shared the information provided by the intelligence dealer and the results of his analysis just now... He noticed that when he mentioned that the Raven Club might have something to do with "Mann", Chi Hanfeng's body was obviously He trembled for a while, but soon, he had returned to his original appearance.

"Thank you." Chi Hanfeng said to Ke Lan.

Ke Lan knew that he was thanking him for not telling Valentina about this, otherwise, she would have rushed to the private room of the Raven Club with a gun in hand.

"Pretend not to know, or submit an application to the organizer to withdraw from the competition... Two options, which one do you choose?"

"I think... it's better to give up the game." Chi Hanfeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Three ace pilots, this risk is too great."

"No, Lao Chi, I can't agree with you this time." The hound said, "Although I've always been a timid person, I also know a truth. People can't be cowardly all the time, otherwise the other party will only make an inch... don't you Think you can escape every time if you can escape this time?"

The hound took out a cigarette from his pocket, thought for a while and stuffed it back, and continued: "Ke Lan is right about one thing. This competition is not only their opportunity, but also our opportunity. With the help of the competition, The amount of attention you get is just a good time to bring justice to the Strangler Squadron... Are you really willing to let the bastard who killed more than 100 of your brothers continue to go unpunished?"

"I..." Chi Hanfeng was at a loss for words.

"Major Chi, the opponent is determined to kill... Even if we choose to abandon the match, Valentina has already been targeted by them... At least in the competition, we still have a relatively 'fair' environment with the opponent , if you leave the arena and come to the killer later, they won't talk about 'fairness' with you." Ke Lan continued, "Besides, you don't want Valentina to live in hatred all the time. "

"Zofia." Ke Lan turned his head and looked at Zofia, "Which option do you prefer?"

"When you asked me, didn't you already have the answer in your heart?" Zofia said with a smile.

"I want to know your choice." Ke Lan said.

"Just like you."

"Although we are in the majority," said the hound, "we will not force you and Valentina to obey us. The choice is still yours, Old Chi."

"Then..." Chi Hanfeng gritted his teeth, "Continue the game."

"Well, now we need to solve two problems." Ke Lan snapped his fingers, walked to the side of the porthole, and looked down at the arena below, "First, we have to solve the Raven Club in the game. , even if it can’t be solved, at least you must ensure your own safety... At the same time, try to collect as much evidence of their 'intentional murder' as possible."

"Second, we need to guard against the opponent's opponents. In the arena, apart from the Raven's three players, I'm not sure if the opponent will bribe players from other clubs... In other words, there may not be only three assassins; And outside the arena, it is not necessarily safe... If I were that 'Mann', and I failed in the arena, I would definitely send someone to intercept and kill us at all costs, even if it was seen by all the audience. As long as we are all dead, without key witnesses and evidence, it will be difficult to continue the investigation... and the heat of the incident itself will subside sooner or later. They only need to delay it for a few years, and the case will be the same as it was ten years ago. Let it go."

"Well," Ke Lan continued, "Zofia, can you transfer the people from the security team under you... Old dog, you can call all the people who stayed at the headquarters and let them take a ride. The 'Greek' is on standby near the arena...I will find a way to contact Maginot and the Security Bureau to keep their eyes on the Raven Club and all related personnel."

"In this case, the layout outside the arena is almost the same, and the rest needs to be dealt with, which is the matter inside the arena."

……

……

three days later.

No.20 The first Ark Mech Competition, the final.

The "Zulong" super airship followed the last route and slowly passed over the deserted sandstone city, but this time, one-third of the route had passed, and no team jumped out of the cabin.

Almost all contestants focused their attention on the same spot...

That is the black temple located in the upper city on the west side. This is the largest building complex in the entire deserted sandstone city. The entire temple, including ancillary buildings and squares, covers an area of ​​more than 150 million square meters. Five times the size of a block.

The main body of the temple resembling a Mayan pyramid and the large floor tiles on the square are all made of obsidian—this kind of stone is not produced in the surrounding area of ​​the abandoned sandstone city, and it is obviously transported from far away. It can be seen from this that this temple has a very high status in this city.

Looking down from the empty ship, the black temple is like an inkblot smeared in the gray-brown sand, which is extremely eye-catching... However, what is even more eye-catching is the green light beams emitted by nearly a hundred laser beacons!

There are only about [-] marked resource points in the entire arena, and the organizers of the tournament actually stuffed nearly half of them into this temple!

These crowded green beams of light are spectacular—although the marking beams in the finals no longer have brightness, so many resource points are gathered together, and if you think about it, you will know that there must be super resource points among them, even if there are not, The total amount of materials in the temple is enough to arm several full formations.

"Random? By his mother's chance..." the hound couldn't help cursing, "If the event organizer's farts come true, the old sows will be on the tree."

"Although it's a little unexpected, it's exactly what I want." Ke Lan said, letting most of the participating teams gather in a small area, which coincides with his plan.

"The distance is almost there, ready to jump!"

Within ten seconds of the "Zulong" passing over the black temple, all sixteen participating teams chose to jump out of the cabin at this time, and 48 wakes pulled out a colorful smoke screen in the air.

"Pay attention to the rear, at the direction of four o'clock, there are three aircrafts that seem to be following us, adjust the landing direction, and the angle of declination is fifteen degrees to the right." Ke Lan glanced at the rear monitor screen, and as expected, the three aircrafts of the Raven Club are closely Following them, the crow's head painting with white line and black background on the mecha's shoulders is particularly conspicuous.

The three of them changed their direction slightly, and the three Raven's mechas also responded immediately - in this way, Ke Lan can basically be sure that the previous guesses are correct, and they really want to compete in the finals. hands on.

"The No. [-] aircraft notified the whole team to prepare for a second change of direction, and the landing site was changed to the center of the temple area, the top of the pyramid-shaped building." Ke Lan said in the team channel.

"Why? Isn't our plan to land on the periphery of the square and then carry out mobile operations?" Valentina asked without knowing what was going on.

"Someone is following us..." Ke Lan didn't explain too much, "The original plan of 'fishing in troubled waters' was cancelled, and Plan B was activated." Ke Lan said.

"And plan B? You never said it." Valentina said in amazement, but she still turned around and landed towards the location marked by Ke Lan.

"Plan B, 'add fuel to the fire', where there are the most people, we will fall!"

The three mechas almost turned a sharp turn in mid-air, and then merged into the "big army" - counting them and the Raven, there were seven teams staring at the pyramid in the middle, an unavoidable massacre Melee is coming!
Half of the resources of the entire deserted sandstone city are concentrated in the Black Temple, and half of the resources of the Black Temple are concentrated in the central pyramid... They have already seen a large number of equipment boxes in the sky, and there are many scattered in the sky. ground, unencapsulated weapons and ammunition.

This building, which is very similar to a Mayan pyramid, has a square platform on the top, and a magnificent temple is built on the platform. This temple has a total of eight entrances, each of which is ten meters high and six meters wide. Mechas can pass through it. As for the interior of the temple, there are intricate and maze-like passages all over the temple. There are also more than a dozen green light beams on the top of the temple. Obviously, there are also a lot of resource points in the maze.

"After landing, pick up the unencapsulated weapons nearby, and then don't want to fight, go directly to the temple!" In the last few seconds before landing, Ke Lan said in the team channel, "Akira Asano just discarded the armor and sat in my cockpit! "

Accompanied by a slight vibration, 21 mechas landed on the platform at the top of the pyramid almost at the same time. Ke Lan grabbed a large-caliber shotgun in his hand, but before he could load the ammunition into the The barrel of the mech, the entire mecha has lost its balance - a black painted skeleton did not hold any weapons, and directly attacked Ke Lan from behind. The opponent's arms directly strangled the shoulders of Ke Lan's body. Ke Lan was fixed in place.

"...How come the dark crow man is so fast?" Ke Lan realized that he had miscalculated a bit—after the opponent landed, he had no intention of looking for weapons at all, but rushed towards him directly... From their point of view, there was no need for the three ace pilots to pick up guns against the three of them.

Both sides are whiteboard skeletons, and the output of the power furnace is similar. Ke Lan couldn't break free from the guy behind him for a while, while the other Raven's body directly raised its fighting dagger and pointed at Ke Lan's. The cockpit stabs over!

With a "bang", Valentina's body fell from the sky, and the nozzles of the propellers were all horizontal the moment it landed, and directly hit the side of the machine holding the sword. Ke Lan's cockpit edge slid out, rubbing a large cluster of sparks on the skeleton.

Valentina didn't pick up the weapon either, she didn't even have time to draw her sword, she just raised her fist and smashed it down at the opponent's body.
