Chapter 217 Competition
Chapter 217 Competition
The next day, dark clouds covered the sky.
A survival competition was held at the Military Academy.
In front of the semicircular open-air gradient venue, there is a lush forest covering a vast area. This is the largest green forest in the fortress, surrounded by rivers, like an island.
More than 100,000 citizens entered the venue to visit. Holographic projection captured every aspect of the event from one hundred angles and displayed it in front of the audience in a screen-like format.
The Ninth Army Group and the First Regiment of the First Army have already entered the island and are working with 3,000 agents from the Security Bureau to maintain order on the scene. The gambling activities of the Xiaochen Guild are also progressing rapidly. In recent days, more than a hundred people have been jailed for illegal gambling.
The VIP seats on the tenth step of the venue.
A row of big shots in the eyes of ordinary people took their seats one after another, with a total of fifty-six seats. In the middle were Secretary-General Yin, Mr. A, the commander of the first army and the heads of various families.
Jiang He sat down at the left edge. He was now the leader of a G4-level large gathering place, and the Deputy Director of Logistics of the G4-level Security Bureau. The latter was the result of a private conversation after the meeting last night. The Deputy Director of Logistics had a greater reputation than actual power.
"Boss, the competition will last for two days. The commander will give a recruitment speech at the end of tomorrow. The first stage is the project competition, with 2046 participants."
Behind someone, Ada, the bodyguard who served as one of the two generals, leaned over and whispered.
Jiang He suddenly felt a phantom pain in his forehead and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.
This is outdated news from some lifetime ago.
"Yes, but keep quiet."
"Yes."
Ah Da stood back happily and continued to play the role of wooden man with Ah Er.
Beside the seat, the snakehead cracked melon seeds and said cheerfully, "Your two subordinates are a little stupid, right? I heard that Secretary-General Yin wants to punish you. You have a grudge against him."
Young Master Tu, who was not far away, was not interested. Secretary-General Yin did hold power, but he was neither a big boss nor a current manager, so the new members had no reason to be afraid.
"He used to be the boss."
Jiang He waved his hand, and A Da and A Er immediately brought three plates of braised bear paws from the tea room.
The snake head was silent now. Even the parliamentarian's family could not have high-level wild beasts as food every day.
"I now declare that the competition officially begins and the referees for each event shall be in place immediately."
The dean of the military academy announced on the radio that the dean was also at G4 level and was currently sitting on the right edge of the highest point.
"It's started, look, it's Master Aira!"
"Tong Fei is here!"
"The genius young mecha master of the Ai family is so beautiful."
At the start of the competition, only the top ten in each event had the opportunity to enter the forest survival stage. Among them, two of the favorites to win were younger generations of the Ai family, which made the head of the Ai family, who was next to the commander of the army, very proud and he kept congratulating them.
The most eye-catching thing on the scene was the fighting competition, which was similar to underground black boxing, and the participating students showed their enthusiasm in every match.
As Ailiang broke his junior's cervical vertebrae with a heavy punch and blood spilled on the ring, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak and cheers were like waves.
Jiang He tasted a mouthful of meat and asked casually, "Is death also within the rules?"
The snake head replied without even looking up: "There are vacancies. It won't be a problem if there are no more than 30 people. Not many of these students are capable of killing. But if you let Tu Er go, I guess there will be deaths in every match. He is about to become a high-level superpower."
Next to the two, Master Tu was biting a bear paw with big mouthfuls, muttering, "What's the point of playing house like this? If you ask me, quality is more important than quantity, and as long as they survive, they are not defeated. Will the wild beasts and dark creatures stop fighting with them? Don't hurt others and yourself when you get out."
Jiang He wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and said, "It's not a good thing."
"really."
"It's boring, just do it and it's done."
The three of them devoured the food, the aroma filled the air, and more and more people came to the highest seats to serve the dishes.
"A few people, please pay attention to the impact. I won't say who it is. Please take the plates away."
Mr. A was rarely angry. In public, the eldest son and "daughter" of the Ai family were trying to show off, but his subordinates were eating and drinking to their heart's content. Even if Fortress TV knew what was going on and would not broadcast it, it was still too much.
Jiang He handed the empty plate to Ah Da, who had finished eating. In the VIP seats on the ninth step, the Youth Association President saw someone looking down at him and immediately became alert and opened his mouth, but the other party just glanced at him.
Jiang He has no interest in Hong Wen's President Xiao Chen, so he will just kill him when he has the time.
"A damaged S-class mecha. It looks pretty intimidating."
S-class mechas have dominant combat power and are ten meters tall. They are not on the same level as military mechas, and each one has its own nickname.
The "Fortress Interceptor" currently standing in the center of the venue is the prize for the champion of the competition. Its energy core has been severely damaged, but other than that it is still intact. It is equipped with unique super-torque drive, gyro stabilizer, elbow rocket thruster, dry ice jet muzzle, wild beast spine chain sword and other devices. Its entire body is black and smooth, in human shape, with a cold and hard appearance.
"Shuguang, do something."
"Master, you can turn on the same frequency operation mode to control the Dawn Man. This function is mainly used for emergency response by company employees when the Dawn Man scares new residents. I will synchronize your movements with the Dawn Man."
“I can’t make big moves right now.”
"Change the plan. I will simulate the effect of your muscles."
A pair of nano glasses extended from the Huangshou pendant. After Jiang He put them on, he gained Ada's perspective. As the muscles in his left arm trembled, Ada suddenly raised his left hand.
"Why does it feel like driving a remote-controlled mecha?"
“The company hasn’t done in-depth research on this technology.”
“Does technology have a name?”
"None yet, it is suggested to name it Advent Mode."
Jiang He secretly threw out the clothes-changing brooch, and Ah Da behind him left the platform as if possessed by a ghost. The S-class mecha was the fortress's most important weapon, and it was impossible to activate it without the authorization from the parliament. He even suspected that if there was no Child of Destiny, the parliament would not have given out such a heavyweight championship prize.
"Ada's command core has been shut down."
"Advent mode is officially activated."
……
In the perspective, the elevator is falling.
Jiang He controlled the Dawnman to come to the student rest area. He had some ideas about the S-class mecha. Not to mention the various advanced technologies on it, the ten-meter-tall giant alone was a great laborer.
The atmosphere in the rest area was extremely solemn. The performance in this competition would determine the quality of the students, and the treatment they would receive when joining various major forces in the future would likely be very different.
Jiang He drove the "Descending Container" into the men's restroom and waited for a few minutes. Then a Wolf Tail student walked in with his head lowered.
"Junior, are you on the court?"
"not yet."
"What project are you signing up for?"
"Let's fight. Just hope we don't run into Ailiang."
"When are you going to play?"
"Maybe in ten minutes."
Jiang He was shocked for the next few minutes. This guy answered whatever he asked. Not to mention being on guard, he even felt that he could trick the other party into entering the park.
"Hey, junior."
"What's up, Senior?"
"If it were someone else, they might have let you go, but unfortunately I have no conscience. When you wake up, report to the corps and I'll give you the position of company commander."
"Senior, what did you say?"
Jiang He controlled the Dawn Man and knocked the Wolf Tail youth unconscious with one punch.
