Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 25
After receiving the armored brain and training stick thrown by Hua Lun, Jiatu played with it in his hands.

Then throw the outer shell of the brain back to Warren:

"I have a brain, I can use my own."

As he spoke, Jiatu lifted the cloak behind him and gave Warren a look.

After returning to the research institute to take out the electromagnetic pistol, Jiatu brought out Heiyin's outer-mounted horror brain.

Both Hera and Hena thought that the only brain in his hands was the military brain, so they didn't care much.

Sure enough, Warren was also misled:

"Is this the military horror brain you found from the scrap yard? Captain-level equipment... I just want to see it too, so let's come together!"

Hua Lun didn't appear discouraged because of his inferior equipment, it might be better to say that his fighting spirit became even more high-spirited.

And this is also the explorer trainee Jiatu knows well——

"After all, the entrance examination is one out of ten... It's normal to be a little arrogant."

Jiatu thought silently, nodded with Hua Lun, activated the host computer, and put the sealing mask on his face.

When Heiyin's voice sounded in his mind, Jiatu couldn't help feeling a little owed:
"Sorry to disturb your rest again."

[It doesn't matter, how much time I have left is in your hands. 】

[Whether it is three days, three weeks, three months, or three years, to me, it is only 72 hours. 】

Heiyin's voice is still as calm and handsome as in the research institute:
[Is this the sanctuary you mentioned?It's very organized, I like it very much. 】

"The environment here is quite special in the shelter..."

Jiatu didn't know how to explain it, so he could only confuse it.

But Heiyin also knows that time is precious, so he didn't delve into it:

[So your goal is to defeat this young man? 】

"Yes."

Jiatu nodded: "Can you help me?"

【A long stick...】

Heiyin thought for a while: [There should be relevant information in the military horror brain. Although I haven't used it much, it should be no problem to use it in actual combat. 】

"Basic material..."

Jiatu nodded. The armored brains of the shelter may not be as powerful as the military brains in terms of function, but on the one hand, they are technologies that have been streamlined after hundreds of years of drills; The outcome is still unknown.

"Just after I got the military brain, I haven't actually fought it yet... Let's try it now..."

Jiatu took a deep breath, filling his lung cavity with the nebulizer, then picked up the long training stick, and walked into the "rope ring ring" with Warren.

"Two wins in three rounds, the one who admits defeat and goes out of bounds will lose."

Warren mentioned some unexpected rules for Jiatu, but he raised his eyes and nodded silently without saying anything.

The two sides stood in the center of the rope circle, about three meters apart, and both were in a defensive posture.

After a stalemate for almost ten seconds, Jiatu couldn't help asking:
"Aren't you going to take the initiative to attack?"

However, the boy just smiled slightly and said indifferently:
"Will you launch an active attack when facing an opponent who doesn't know the details?"

"But you are a normal person. I have a disability in my foot. No matter how you think about it, you should attack first, right?"

Jiatu continued to persuade the other party.

But Warren was unmoved: "You're using a military brain, and we're even in this respect."

"..."

Hearing the boy's answer, Jiatu couldn't help but fell silent.

"Forget it, I won't fight anymore."

Feeling a little irritable and worried about Heiyin's activation life, Jiatu suddenly had an idea, pretending to give up, and stood up straight.

In the end, before he could finish his sentence, Hua Lun had already stepped out and attacked him.

It seems that he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

"Damn...it's 'Blank Beat'..."

Jiatu subconsciously raised his stick to block Warren's attack.

And the young man who missed a blow didn't want to fight, and quickly withdrew from Jiatu's attack range.

"...an opponent who is completely different from Hena..."

Seeing Warren's actions, Jiatu couldn't help but pouted.

In the battle with Jiatu, Hena was completely brave, very active in attack, very good at defending while attacking, and then turning defense into offense.

And Warren's style is very calm, fleeing away immediately when he misses a hit, patiently waiting for the moment when the opponent's patience or concentration dissipates, and seize the opportunity to attack immediately——

And this kind of attack is "grabbing a blank shot".

It's a very back-to-basics tactic.

"Braking still..."

Realizing that any deception would not work on Warren, Jiatu took a deep breath and closed his eyes voluntarily.

He opened his arms as if completely relaxed, completely letting himself be exposed to Warren's attack.

The thermal sensing system of the fully enclosed mask was activated, and Jiatu seemed to hesitate when he saw Warren standing not far from him.

However, Jiatu felt that Warren should have figured out what he was doing——

"Induced attack".

In other words, it is to "sell a flaw", and then take advantage of the enemy's opportunity to counterattack immediately.

It's just that a normal "induced attack" would not completely open his arms and close his eyes like Jiatu did.

But Jiatu bet that Warren should not know that the military brain has a thermal imaging system, which can project his infrared outline on Jiatu's retina.

When Jiatu raised his hands high and waited quietly for the boy to be fooled, Hua Lun hesitated for about ten seconds, then tiptoed very carefully, and walked to Jiatu's side.

He aimed at Jiatu's left hand stretched by his side, holding on to the crutch, and very cautiously stabbed at him with a long point.

However, Jiatu had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

The moment Hua Lun attacked, he immediately deflected his left hand, then kicked his right foot on the ground, and attacked Hua Lun.

Warren didn't know at all that Jiatu's left hand was equivalent to half of his left foot, and when he attacked from the left side, it was equivalent to breaking into Jiatu's forehand position.

Jiatu just tilted his left arm slightly to avoid Hua Lun's stabbing attack. At the same time, he stepped out with his right foot, put his left foot on the ground with his left stick, and chopped Hua Lun's left neck with a big forehand cleave.

"Chop against the cassock, cut off the neck and subclavian arteries."

Jiatu judged calmly, and at the same time stepped back on tiptoe, guarding against Warren's back attack.

"It's too despicable to unplug the steering wheel..."

Warren smiled wryly, but put down the long stick in his hand without accident:
"It seems that I can't destroy your first undefeated golden body..."

Jiatu knew that what Warren said about the steering wheel was something in game theory, so he nodded without paying too much attention:

"In the past three months, I have never lost to Hena in my first win."

"The winning percentage in the first round is the most representative of the true strength of both sides. Your left foot is disabled, and you can't eat the protein bars provided by the training school on weekdays. You should lose to us in a long-term confrontation."

However, Warren didn't see it that way. Instead, he expressed his judgment very calmly:

"If you didn't have foot problems and couldn't enter the training school, the chief of the lower districts of our generation should be you, not Hena."

"..."

Jiatu didn't know how to answer, so he just smiled and said:
"Explorers need mobility after all. In that case, my left foot is just a drag."

"The Wilderness Expedition has more than ten ways to heal your foot injury."

However, Warren shook his head and denied it: "It's just the management regulations of the shelter. You must become a explorer before you can enjoy the medical services of the explorer."

"But I can't even run with my left foot. How can I pass the entrance examination for the Exploration Team?"

Hearing what Warren said, Jiatu couldn't help laughing.

He couldn't even pass the entrance examination of the training school. Wouldn't it be a myth if he wanted to pass the entrance examination?

However, Warren shook his head and said:

"Do you know the details of the Explorer's 'Team Entry Assessment'?"

Realizing Jiatu's somewhat surprised expression, Warren nodded and explained:
"The team entry assessment for explorers is divided into three items."

"They are 'Physical Fitness Test', 'Battle Arena' and 'Spiritual Trial'."

"Among them, the 'Physical Fitness Test' requires you to complete ten items including the '20km off-road' within one hour."

"'Battle Arena', as the name suggests, requires you to defeat ten trainee opponents from the lower and middle areas in a row."

"The last is the 'spiritual trial', which is said to be completed somewhere outside the shelter—I don't know the details."

"Then what do you mean by that?"

Jiatu asked curiously: "I can't pass the '20km off-road' alone?"

Warren nodded, affirming:

"So this is the most critical part of what I'm going to say—"

"Different from the 'Entrance Examination', the 'Team Entrance Examination' of the expedition team does not require you to pass all three items. You only need to pass two of the three items to pass."

"Therefore, even if you can't pass the 'Physical Fitness Test', you can still pass the 'Battle Test' and 'Spirit Test' to qualify as a explorer."

"..."

Jiatu didn't speak immediately.

Instead, he asked Heiyin silently in his heart:
"What do you think?"

[Judging from the terrifying infrared scan, he should have concealed something, and he didn't think about you wholeheartedly, but most of what he said was the truth, with a high degree of credibility. 】

"He should really have a mind of his own."

Jiatu nodded, not too surprised, after all, the person who had a faint sense of alienation before, just because he was "convinced" by himself, suddenly took full care of himself——

He didn't believe in something as romantic as a story.

"I heard you say it seems very simple, but there are only a dozen people who pass the 'team selection' every year in the entire refuge, right?"

Jia Tu continued to ask.

"Yes."

Warren also nodded unexpectedly:
"Although it is enough to pass two of the three assessments, in fact each of the three tests is very difficult."

"The passing rate of the 'Physical Test' is only about 50%; the 'Battle Arena' is even lower, less than 7%; and the 'Spiritual Trial' is said to be the most difficult, only about 3%."

"7% multiplied by 3%... [-] per thousand?"

Jiatu calculated in his heart, and his mood became extremely complicated:
"Are you sure that with such a low pass rate, I will definitely succeed?"

"do not know."

Warren also shook his head frankly: "However, if I were you, I would definitely try."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Jiatu's left foot.

Jiatu knew that he was an aggressive general.

But when the physical defect that he has always cared about was pointed out so bluntly, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry:
"But you're not me after all."

"Yes, I am not you."

As a result, Warren raised the long stick in his hand again:

"So, I can't make decisions about your life—

Best of three games, two games to go, here we go. "

This time, Jiatu was really a little annoyed.

He didn't know where Warren's confidence came from. He had already lost to him once, but he was so sure that he would win two games in a row and win.

He calmed down.

Jiatu had to admit that Warren did a better job than himself in "angling the opponent".

He successfully disturbed Jiatu's mentality.

"If this continues, I shouldn't be able to keep showing my flaws...Let's take the initiative to attack..."

Jiatu thought silently, and assumed a mid-section posture.

However, to his surprise, almost as soon as he straightened the long stick, Hua Lun waved the long stick and attacked without hesitation!
He actually took the initiative to attack? !
Warren's sudden surprise caught Jiatu by surprise.

He quickly set up a long stick and stood in front of him.

In the end, Hua Lun only feinted his shot, and he used the opportunity of attack to get close to Jiatu's side.

Then, at the moment when Jiatu thought that his blow failed and was about to go to the back, he let go of the long stick in his hand and rushed forward!
"Grapping technique?!"

Jiatu was taken aback. The long stick in his hand was grabbed by Hua Lun, and he couldn't break free. Just as he was about to elbow, he got kicked in the stomach. Fortunately, the military brain reacted, making him tense his abdomen subconsciously, letting his knees Most of the impact of the collision was unloaded.

But in this way, his body also stiffened for a moment.

Warren didn't miss this opportunity, grabbed Jiatu's collar, and threw him out with a big back fall.

Jiatu, who was on the ground on his back, lost his breath for an instant, and when he came back to his senses, the young man had already been riding on him.

"you lose."

Hua Lun held his right fist high, hanging by his side, without dropping it.

Jiatu knew that, just like his reverse cassock cut, Hua Lun also showed mercy.

"you win."

Jiatu sighed and admitted.

He did not know how many times he lost to Hena.

But it was the first time he lost to anyone other than Hena.

This made him a little upset.

In addition, unlike the straightforward Hena, Warren's style of play is clever at best, but cunning at worst.

The knee bump and back fall just now made Jiatu feel that the young man was not as unaggressive and clever as he imagined——

It would be better to say that all of Warren's battle designs are linked together.

If he is led away by the opponent, then he will definitely lose the third round very badly.

Straightening his mind, Jiatu put Hua Lun on a level equal to Hena, or even better than her for the first time.

Maybe the strength is a little weaker, but the degree of difficulty is definitely more difficult.

Realizing that Jiatu has taken it seriously, Hua Lun no longer hides his clumsiness, pulls away from the horse, raises the double sticks above his head, points the tip of the gun obliquely, and points it at Jiatu, posing as a "gun" .

"Really defensive or real offensive? It's really hard to judge if it's false or not..."

Jiatu circled around far away from Warren.

From time to time, he exposed his inflexible left side to Warren, hoping that the other party would be fooled again.

As a result, Warren was unmoved.

He stared at Jiatu silently, as if he had made up his mind that Jiatu, who had just lost once, would definitely lose his composure.

"Although he is right...but the main reason is not this..."

Jiatu glanced at the time, he and Warren had already fought for more than 10 minutes, which was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.

He didn't want to waste Heiyin's activation time because of Hua Lun, so he took a deep breath and searched for the strongest offensive move in the mind-bending combat data.

"'Zhifu Sending Books'... that's it."

Jiatu thought for a few seconds, and Brainstorm had already organized a set of attack procedures for him.

Although he didn't know whether the tactical policy formulated by the military horror brain was reliable, but in the face of Hena's offensive madman, his offensive experience was indeed far inferior to that of defense.

After choosing a move, Jiatu raised the stick and "carried" it on his right shoulder, with his left foot in front and his left hand as assistance, moving carefully, approaching Hua Lun's attacking direction.

Both sides have the assistance of external brain-terrorism, and they are activated at the same time almost the moment they enter the attack range.
