Ugly Spoon.
The famous city of Shadiao.
An international first-class city (outdated).
So, in this city, buildings taller than Gundams are everywhere.
"Hey, hey, hey~ What's going on?"
Ostrich looked at everyone else with a dumbfounded expression upon receiving the combat warning.
The others had the same bewildered look, their eyes meeting as they stared at each other through the avatar videos in their cockpits.
At the same time, they noticed that the main screen in the cockpit displayed a text-based explanation of the combat warning rules.
There was also a weapon list, categorized by melee, ranged, physical, and beam, waiting for their selection.
"Little Ding-dong wants to fight us, let's choose our weapons first!"
After reading the combat warning, Geng Jihui commanded everyone, "Divide into 5-person squads and prioritize weapons you're familiar with."
Then, he quickly browsed the weapon list himself, choosing weapons based on their names and his familiarity.
By name, it meant choosing long or short guns.
Familiarity meant choosing weapons based on their habits from real-life combat.
So, when Ostrich and the others entered the arena.
Geng Jihui and Yu Fei each held a beam pistol for close combat in their left hand and a beam assault rifle in their right.
Ostrich and Leng Feng each chose an ultra-long range sniper rifle and a combination dual-mode beam rifle (which could be used for long-range sniping or close-range scattering depending on the combination).
Xiao Zhuang, Qiangzi, Shao Bing, and Shi Sabba all opted for beam assault rifles.
The medic and Brick were a bit more eccentric, directly equipping a Gundam-version Gatling gun.
As for Mountain Wolf and Old Cannon, they were armed with various missiles, even going as far as to choose two automated missile launchers.
Melee, ranged attacks, and suppressing fire – judging by their equipment, there had clearly been some consultation.
As for Guo Yi, for the sake of fairness, although he had modified his cockpit to be exclusive, his mobile suit was the same as Ostrich and the others'.
However, he had some extra weapons mounted externally.
Besides the standard combat axe and beam rifle, his shoulders were loaded with missile pods, and he carried two rocket launchers on his back.
After the five-minute preparation period ended, the screens in everyone's cockpits flashed, and they simultaneously appeared in a jungle of steel.
However, neither side's radar showed any markers for the other.
It was clear that both sides were outside each other's radar detection range.
"3~"
"2~"
"1~"
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"
As the countdown ended, the area where Ostrich and the others were became lively.
It was either him accidentally stepping too hard and smashing the ground, or him accidentally leaning on a building and destroying it.
An atmosphere of demolition and forced removal permeated the air.
The dust in the entire area continuously increased, even gradually filling their cockpits and obstructing their vision.
Meanwhile, Guo Yi moved like a leopard through the jungle.
Although high-speed movement inevitably made noise, his mobile suit skillfully avoided the buildings and began to explore.
Outside the cockpit, inside the room.
Old Gao and the others were watching the battlefield with rapt attention.
However, when they saw one side engaged in enthusiastic demolition while the other moved like a fish in water, they couldn't help but slap their foreheads: This difference in skill made it impossible to play!
Afterward, they all silently paid attention to Guo Yi's controls, even secretly learning his operating techniques within the cockpit.
"Beep beep beep beep~~"
Just as Ostrich and the others were still adapting, the onboard radar suddenly let out a burst of noise, startling everyone.
"Enemy attack!"
Geng Jihui shouted, stopping his movement and looking in the direction of the alarm.
A blue Zaku had appeared before him at some unknown time.
Its long rocket launcher, with its menacing muzzle, was pointed directly at Geng Jihui's cockpit.
"Boom~"
Sparks flashed from the rocket launcher's muzzle, and an armor-piercing round was fired.
Geng Jihui, located in the cockpit, jolted violently, and then his screen switched to spectator mode.
Geng Jihui quickly looked.
He found that the blue Zaku driven by Guo Yi, after finishing him off, directly discarded the rocket launcher and picked up another one.
Then it quietly retreated into the gap between several houses.
Since Evil Wolf and Shi Sabba were closest to Geng Jihui, they were the first to check and intercept after Geng Jihui's marker disappeared.
"Forest Wolf is down, watch out for ambushes!"
Yu Fei immediately took command and ordered everyone, "Except for Qiangzi and Sabba, the rest of you pair up nearby and defend your positions!"
"Hey, hey, hey~"
"You're dead, you can't communicate!"
Geng Jihui watched Evil Wolf and Shi Sabba's actions and Yu Fei's arrangements, and couldn't help but shout.
Unfortunately, the communication channel was locked.
So, he could only watch helplessly as Guo Yi, driving the blue Zaku, cleaved into Evil Wolf's cockpit with an axe, simultaneously shoving Shi Sabba into the house, and then with a backhand, chopped up Shi Sabba's cockpit with another axe.
Smooth!
Logical!
Brutal!
This was Geng Jihui's impression.
"Sigh~"
Suddenly, Qiangzi's and Shi Sabba's voices sounded in Geng Jihui's cockpit.
It was clear that the "dead trio" could now communicate and watch together.
"Watch carefully, learn well."
Geng Jihui said softly, then continued to observe the blue Zaku's movements.
Guo Yi, driving the blue Zaku, after "killing" Qiangzi and Evil Wolf, went silent again.
And it tiptoed towards Xiao Zhuang and the medic's location.
At this time, Xiao Zhuang and the medic were back-to-back, each guarding a different direction.
"Qiangzi and Sabba are both down!"
Xiao Zhuang looked at the radar, seeing two fewer friendly markers, his voice a little bitter.
"We're rookies, it's normal!"
The medic replied with a straight face, his entire focus on the screen and radar.
Suddenly, a flash of blue appeared on the medic's screen.
"Buzz~"
Although the radar didn't show it, the medic still raised the Gatling gun in his hand, aiming at the flash of blue, and his muzzle began to turn.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
3 seconds later, the medic's Gatling gun began to spew flames, and countless bullets swept through the house where the flash of blue was hidden.
However, as the dust settled, there was no sign of the blue Zaku.
It was as if it were an illusion...
That was, if a piercing alarm hadn't sounded in the medic's cockpit.
A blue mobile suit appeared on the medic's right side at some unknown time.
By the time the medic reacted, an axe on the screen was rapidly enlarging.
"Boom~ Boom~"
With two loud bangs, Xiao Zhuang and the medic both fell.
The medic was killed by an axe, while Xiao Zhuang was killed by a rocket blast as he turned.
Because as Guo Yi was swinging his axe towards the medic's cockpit, the other rocket launcher in his hand also fired simultaneously.
The rocket, calculated by Guo Yi, landed precisely in front of Xiao Zhuang's cockpit as he turned, splattering his face.
"Well, now it's up to Leng Feng and Old Cannon.
Otherwise, we'll really lose face..."
The medic, now part of the "dead trio," said wryly to the others, "This combat thinking... it feels like Little Ding-dong is the special forces member, and we're not even as good as new recruits..."
"Sigh~" x5.
The five sighed, then continued to watch the battlefield from a god's-eye view.
Guo Yi, driving the blue Zaku, returned to the collapsed houses.
He retrieved a blue shield from the rubble and reattached it to his arm.
It was clear that the flash of blue the medic had seen was the blue of Guo Yi's shield.
Next, Guo Yi once again crept towards Old Cannon's position.
At the same time, this was also the point that currently seemed the most difficult to crack.
This was because the street next to Old Cannon's was where Leng Feng and Ostrich were!
Furthermore, Old Cannon had installed two automated missile launchers on the street, one in front and one in back.
A total of eighteen missiles were ready to fire, prepared to unleash a carpet of artillery fire the moment Guo Yi was detected.
