Alien Relic Hunter

No weapons? Ke Lan suddenly felt a headache - if you want to say what is the most frustrating thing about a chicken game, the first thing that must bear the brunt is the search of four or five houses, not even a small pistol, and a mess of supplies. Pinpin stuffed a backpack, and as soon as he went out, he ran into a group of burly men with black coins. He fell to the ground and was patched into a box at once. He was a hero among couriers.

To sum it up in six words: no gaming experience.

The three of them arrived at the supply point they had selected at the beginning. This was a neighborhood that had been almost razed to the ground. Several brand-new equipment boxes were placed in the middle of the ruins. Ke Lan went up to check them out. Sure enough, they were like Valentin. As Na said, apart from a set of modular light armor that is common to all skeletons, the only supplies in the box are a bunch of energy crystals totaling less than a hundred units and a dozen bags packed in aluminum foil. Get up the self-heating military rations.

Valentina, put on this suit of armor first. You are the main force in the battle between mechas. We must give priority to ensuring your equipment. Ke Lan said, Within four hundred meters from here, there are three more We searched the supply points one by one from near to far.

Since the skydiving location they chose is located on the edge of the safety zone, no other participating team has landed in this area except themselves and the Angres Club who came to seek revenge, so there is no need to worry about encounters in the early stage. Other contestants... But despite this, what Ke Lan least expected to happen still happened to them——

The other three supply points also did not have any weapons and ammunition. Although Valentina's body was equipped with a three-piece set of full-body armor, external thrusters, and energy shield generators, they still only had the only weapons they could use. The standard fighting dagger carried when parachuting.

Is this intentional by the organizers of the event? Ke Lan knew that the setting up of this supply point and the delivery of materials were definitely not random. A large number of high-level materials were concentrated in the center of the safety zone, and the farther out they were, the closer they were to the safety zone. At the edge of the area, the supply points become poorer. In the most remote places, there are even several supply points connected and there is not even a 12.7 mm caliber anti-infantry machine gun.

For a moment, Ke Lan deeply felt the malice from the organizers of the event.

They clearly wanted to force all participating teams to crowd together - Ke Lan clearly remembered the distribution of beacons he saw on the airship: almost all the next-level high-level supply points were centered around those three super resource points. In the surroundings, and in a remote corner like the one where they landed, the supplies in maybe a dozen blocks combined were not as much as the one supply point there.

When it comes to the second stage of the knockout round, there will probably be very few teams jumping into this kind of place... This is the purpose of the event organizers: to develop all the way and passively avoid the competition, I am afraid that the vast majority of the audience will find it boring. , if you want to make the game exciting, you must force all teams to participate in the melee... It is best to be the kind that does not stop from landing to the chicken...

Using the distribution of materials to guide the tactical planning of each participating team is obviously very effective.

Ke Lan and the others are still empty-handed here, but he has already heard the roar and explosions of various advanced weapons more than ten kilometers away. Those teams who dare to jump to the super resource point will definitely be dead as long as they can come out alive. Top equipment.

Even if Ke Lan and the others can make it to the finals, the equipment gap between them will widen to an extremely exaggerated level: as long as someone hits you with one shot, you will kneel down directly, while the weapon in your hand may be knocked down in one shot. There is no way to leave a few scratches on the opponent's armor.

No matter how good the operation is, it will be difficult to create any extreme reversal of the plot with weapons that are too slow to polish other people's outer armor.

Ke Lan took a look at the statistics shared by the organizers of the event with each contestant: The game has only started for half an hour, and there are only 25 of the 48 contestants left in this game, and the reduction has almost reached half... However, the number of surviving teams was not listed in the data, so Ke Lan could not determine how many full formations the 25 people included, and how many lone wolves and remnant teams there were.

There was another burst of intensive gunfire in the distance. When the noise subsided, only 22 people remained.

Listening to the sound, the battle should have taken place at the super resource point closest to us. With three people out, a full formation should have been eliminated... There has been no movement for two minutes now. There is probably only the last one left in that place. That team is very fat now, we absolutely cannot afford to offend it. Ke Lan said, he controlled the mecha and climbed to a hill made of rubble and gravel, and looked around .

The nearest intermediate resource point to us is at the twelve o'clock direction, about 2,400 meters away... But this resource point is only about one thousand meters away from the super resource point. If that team goes in this direction If we search, we will reach this intermediate resource point before us. Ke Lan continued his analysis.

Although the weapons and equipment of that team should be top-notch, there is definitely not too much ammunition, energy crystals, and various tactical props. Especially in the finals, if there is a stalemate, the encounter can easily turn into a war of attrition. At this time, the competition is the material reserves of both sides.

Unlike in chicken-fighting games where the player character's backpack has a weight limit, the carrying capacity of mechas is much stronger than that of humans. Even if the supplies in half the competition area are gathered together, three mechas can easily carry them. Walk.

Ke Lan felt that if he were the commander of that team, after defeating the super resource point, he would definitely focus on the super resource point and gradually search the surrounding areas - this is the purpose of the event organizer: if you don't want to fight, The rich will only get richer, and the poor will get poorer, until the gap widens to the point where the rich side can easily overwhelm the entire field with its equipment advantage.

We can't delay this any longer... Ke Lan thought to himself, If we delay this any longer, the situation will only get worse and worse.

There's no need to search the low-level resource points nearby. According to the nature of the event organizer, I guess there won't be anything good. We can't waste our precious time in these poor places. Ke Lan said to the other two The person said, At least we have to start from the mid-level resource points, so that we can avoid being too far apart in terms of equipment.

But there should be people at the nearest intermediate resource point. Valentina said.

Then let's go to the lower city.
