In the second round, he faced the synthetic beast from the laboratory. This kind of Beasts is generally more ferocious and powerful than the natural Beasts. It seems that many people want him to die.
The cheers from the audience around the arena became even louder. Antilians likes fighting, they like blood, they like seeing broken limbs and rivers of blood.
This battle was much more difficult than the first round, not only because the synthetic beast was very powerful, but also because Kunmao consumed a lot of his own physical strength.
If he hadn't known about the synthetic beast, a scientific researcher once boasted about this synthetic beast to him, thus making Kunmao understand its weaknesses. He wouldn't have been able to survive the second round.
The huge, terrifying synthetic beast finally fell at the feet of Kunmao. The blood it flowed dyed half of the arena red and submerged Kunmao's ankles.
Kunmao, who had lost an arm and was covered in blood, leaned against the body of the synthetic beast, gasping for air, and wasted no time in recovering his strength.
The people who can survive the second round only account for 0.05% of the total number of people who take the challenge. A narrow escape is not enough to describe how difficult it is.
The audience was even more excited. It was rare to see a warrior really survive the second round and kill such a terrifying Monsters.
"Let him live! Let him live!" Such cheers began to appear around the arena. This is exactly the purpose of Kunmao. Antilians is martial and they admire the warriors.
To please the audience and show bravery is Kunmao's only chance of survival.
Soon the hope that arose in Kunmao's heart was ruthlessly crushed. In the third game, he faced a monster from Swarm.
This monster is not only huge in size, but its whole body shell is extremely defensive. Its iconic pair of giant scythes lying on both sides of its body are impressive at just one glance.
This thing was named Ultralisk, and its attack was as unstoppable as thunder. It could withstand several large-caliber artillery pieces, and ordinary bullets couldn't even leave traces on its shell.
Ultralisk is the heaviest ground unit of Swarm, with top-notch lethality, defense, and destructive power.
The pair of scythes are kinetic weapons. Not only are they filled with high temperatures, but they also cut through iron like mud. No armor can withstand its blows. To deal with such a monster, you generally need to call in heavy fire support to defeat it.
There is currently no technology to operate the Swarm monster. Kunmao I really don't know how this thing was transported here quietly.
But he definitely can't win, even if he is in full condition and wearing the empire's most advanced weapons and equipment.
A dramatic thing happened. Ultralisk did not attack Kunmao immediately after waking up. It was confused for a while, and then roared and started attacking Energy Barrier around the arena.
Its vigorous attack did not break Energy Barrier, but only caused the entire barrier to collapse. This behavior shocked the surrounding audience, and chaos and screams filled the crowd.
A small stampede also occurred, and many people were injured.
Ultralisk's collisions became more fierce each time. It seemed to have endless physical strength and anger. The explosion caused by the collision between its red sickle and Energy Barrier made all the Kunmaos in the venue start to have tinnitus.
The arena strengthened the power of the barrier, making the already solid barrier even more stable. Then a group of small drones flew in the venue to harass Ultralisk with bullets, trying to lure Ultralisk to Kunmao.
This behavior made Kunmao laugh, it seemed that he was really going to die.
Ultralisk's behavior this time was beyond everyone's expectations. It snorted coldly and shook the spiked carapace on its body. The spikes on the carapace flew out like shotguns, shooting down all the drones.
Then it saw that it could not break through the barrier, so it put no effort into it, walked to Kunmao, lay down on the ground, and began to smash it.
This act saved Kunmao's life and alerted the empire's top brass.
An intelligent Swarm Unit would choose to stop performing in order not to be used as a prop for fun!
It has too much research value, compared with it, this performance of Kunmao seems a bit insignificant.
In this way, Kunmao survived, but he must obey all orders from the military as a soldier. If he does not die after twelve years, he will be exempted from responsibility.
"Kunmao, it's a rare day off, why are you standing here looking at the window." Antilians, who was wearing mechanized equipment, came over.
"Yanren? Aren't you supposed to be training today? Why did you come to me?" Kunmao said after seeing the person clearly.
"There is no training today. The doctor's plan has been approved. Everyone is on vacation until this Council meeting is over." Yanren's tone was very calm, without any joy of vacation.
"Really, I didn't expect it to be approved so quickly." Kunmao said doubtfully, "I remember that Super Soldier's plan is very expensive. Our batch of experimental products only has a scale of 20,000, and doctors have applied for a budget for a long time."
"Super Soldier Program is very expensive, but if you continue to fight the bugs, you will spend more money." Yanren looked serious.
"Every step we take to produce a warship and train corresponding combatants costs money. But as long as those bugs occupy a place, they are completely free to live."
"You know that after the wars in the past few years, not counting other things, the pensions for dead and wounded soldiers have bankrupted some countries that are not rich." Yanren sighed, "Stellaris Council can't afford it, and this is also the reason why Permanent Members of the Security Council was replaced this time."
"Then what is the purpose of passing the Super Soldier bill this time?" Kunmao became nervous, he had a bad guess.
"Of course Front Line needs cannon fodder with stronger combat capabilities. The combat objectives will definitely change. We definitely don't know how to fight."
Because Yanren was wearing mechanical equipment, he was much taller than Kunmao. He lowered his body and said softly, "The rumor I heard is that the higher-ups are planning to restrict the bugs within a certain range to reduce their harm."
"Of course it is necessary to launch a few more battles to hurt them."
"Is it Fortress Plan that has been rumored for a long time?" Kunmao nodded and said with a hint of doubt.
"Who knows, no matter what the plan is, it requires money, lots and lots of money. You don't know that Antiwar Groups's support rate has been getting higher and higher recently." Yanren curled his lips.
"Those (expletives), although war will increase the burden on society, it is also a means to protect them. Those bugs can eat a Planet down to a stone." Kunmao cursed.
"Yes, those are a bunch of (expletives), they don't understand that only power and the army can bring freedom." Yanren cursed together.
"But it is a fact that anti-war speeches are becoming more and more popular. Many Non-Permanent Member of the Security Council's positions are wavering. The political leader of Antiwar Groups is a woman who is beautiful and speaks beautifully."
"In my opinion, to have such a big influence, she must have put in 'kung fu' in other aspects." Out of slander and bad taste, Yanren places a heavy emphasis on the word kung fu.
