Silicon Invasion

"Heh heh, Niu Wei and the others are in trouble now."

The school issued a total of ten maps. The first seven were for the speed race. Since only five teams remained by the eighth map, the rules automatically changed to a challenge race.

The challenge race maps were no longer completely identical, and the content would change. This way, the competition times could be staggered, and other teams could come to observe without worrying about the risk of 'leaking the questions'.

After all, in the minds of those big shots, the real purpose of the competition, in addition to enhancing the students' combat effectiveness, was to increase their survival skills.

And observing others, seeing how others respond in a crisis, some useful things might be referenced and learned at some point.

Because the challenge race maps were different, complete fairness no longer existed in the challenge race stage. Everyone always has terrain they are good at, lineups they are good at, silicon-based beasts they are good at, and so on.

It's like an exam. If the test paper happens to test a question that was just memorized yesterday, then the score will definitely not be bad. But if the test questions are unfamiliar, the score will definitely not be good.

And what Niu Wei and the others are facing, although the types of silicon-based beasts are familiar, the terrain is the kind of difficult one. But if you add that terrifying number, I am afraid that most people will be daunted.

"Yes, with this magnitude of numbers alone, even a plain map would be almost impossible to pass."

"Don't forget, there must be a leader in the expert-level beast群. Silicon-based beasts without a command are completely two different species."

A bystander looked scared, apparently thinking of something he didn't want to remember.

Everyone nodded. Yes, silicon-based beasts with a leader are like having a commissar. Before the leader dies, they will not rout even if there are heavy casualties.

Therefore, in maps with a difficulty level of expert or higher, finding the leader and killing it in advance is the key to easily passing the level.

The last time Luo Rui and the others encountered a map, there were more than sixty silicon-based beasts. In fact, when they killed 35 black wolves, they killed the leader, causing the remaining black wolves to lose the will to fight, saving them a lot of effort.

Niu Wei naturally understood the principle.

"Zuo Kun, Xin Xin, find their leader!"

His voice was full of seriousness, completely without his usual silly and funny demeanor.

"Received."

Zuo Kun and Lin Xin Xin replied in unison, their fingers flying quickly.

This is not those virtual games. Species evolved over long years have the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, the black wolf leader will not, like in the game, grow some strange and cool things to distinguish himself from ordinary black wolves.

In that case, the leader would only die faster, whether facing humans or other silicon-based beasts.

Therefore, the black wolf leader is not much different from ordinary black wolves. If there is any difference, it may be in the expression and the position in the wolf pack. Perhaps you can see something from that.

Fortunately, the black wolves do not have any air combat capabilities, so the drone can swaggeringly hover over the wolf pack, scanning the data of the black wolves one by one, and then the auxiliary AI will analyze and compare to find the suspicious objects, and then focus on investigating them.

The screen in front of him flashed a lot of data, and pictures were constantly enlarged and displayed. Those suspicious black wolves were numbered, and the drone would focus on observing them next.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded, and Lin Xin Xin hurriedly retrieved the feedback information.

The drone was attacked!

The picture showed that the drone was grabbed by some foreign object, the rotor was damaged, and it was rapidly falling to the ground. But before it landed, it was crushed by the angry black wolves.

Lin Xin Xin hurriedly replayed the last image, trying to find the culprit who destroyed the drone.

Rewind…

Rewind…

Rewind…

Found it!

Lin Xin Xin concentrated. The destruction of the drone is not terrible. They often get key information at the last moment.

On the battlefield where every second counts, time is very precious, so quickly browsing the video screen and finding the key is also a compulsory course for auxiliary machine pilots.

This requires some dynamic vision, and it is often higher than that of ordinary fighter pilots.

Therefore, in Luo Rui's impression, the threshold requirements for auxiliary machine pilots are very low, which is a completely wrong view.

"Crimson Gold Beast!"

Lin Xin Xin exclaimed.

The latest novel is first published on 69书吧!

"What?"

Niu Wei asked in the communication channel. He had just learned that the team had lost a drone.

"It's a Crimson Gold Beast! There are still Crimson Gold Beasts hidden in the black wolf pack, the number is unknown!"

"What?!"

If the first "what" expressed doubt, then the second "what" was completely shock, unable to believe it.

For humans, silicon-based beasts are all alien creatures, two opposing camps. But even humans, a species with almost the same appearance, are divided into many races, and some even have conflicts with each other, let alone silicon-based beasts.

Silicon-based beasts are a collective term for alien creatures. In fact, they have many, many races, each with different habits, and it is difficult to communicate with each other, so different types of silicon-based beasts are basically hostile. Of course, this is what humans are happy to see.

However, among them, there are also some silicon-based beasts that have a symbiotic relationship between different groups due to some complementarity, in order to achieve the common goal of surviving in complex environments.

Crimson Gold Beasts are creatures similar to primates on Blue Star. Their arms are long and powerful, like gibbons, and they can swing and move in complex forest environments. Although they do not have wings, their flexibility is not weaker than flying creatures, and even better in complex environments under the canopy.

The body length of adult Crimson Gold Beasts is generally around two meters, only slightly taller than the average human height. The long arms are very strong, and when swung, they are like whips. In a one-on-one fight, humans are by no means their opponents with their bare bodies.

But don't forget, the environment they live in is the even more dangerous Maikan alien world. Even black wolves with an adult body length of four to five meters are lower-level creatures, let alone the relatively slender Crimson Gold Beasts.

Experts pointed out that the flexibility of the Crimson Gold Beasts is completely evolved from the history of being hunted for many years. They run fast not to hunt, but to escape.

Luo Rui doesn't know whether there is a symbiotic relationship between Crimson Gold Beasts and black wolves. The school may teach it, but he hasn't learned it yet. But judging from the performance of the Crimson Gold Beasts, they are indeed with the black wolves. After all, this is just a battle in the virtual world. Here, even if they are not a symbiotic relationship, humans can combine them together through data.

Although Crimson Gold Beasts are not as powerful as other silicon-based beasts, or even as strong as black wolves, they fill the aerial gap of the black wolves, which makes the challenge difficulty of Niu Wei and the others instantly increase to another level.
