Abyss Express

On the last day of July 2032, the Luna Cup started as scheduled.

At the flagpole alley in Daji Township, District 41, the Lanying Stadium gathered 14,000 contestants.

From the youngest twelve-year-old mixed-breed disaster beast to the sixty-one-year-old veteran of the battlefield, they all looked at the multimedia screen on the outer edge of the stadium. Behind the screen was the cavity dome, the other side of the mountains. It's Bloody Setting Sun from District 42.

The gold cup cast by Aohan Mingde stands at the top of the Emerald Stadium in Adullis. In the main venue of the TV broadcasting tower, twelve opals of different colors seem to be watching the brave people silently, waiting for the heroic The warriors held it in their hands, kissed it, stroked it.

This golden cup has a profound meaning to people, and it is the supreme gift dedicated to the warriors after the turbulent era of mad butterflies is over.

The local news media in Daji Township rushed to the scene of the Lanying Stadium early, and set up long guns and short cannons on both sides of Yingbin Avenue, using paper and pen as swords and shields to write about the performance of the warriors in the preliminary round.

The Guangling Zhixi fighters who signed up to maintain order at the sub-venue were as if they were facing an enemy, armed with riot control guns and waiting in full force. This time of year is also a chaotic period when violent incidents rise sharply.

The clock tower in the square on the flagpole heights was counting down to the event. Jiang Xueming's team had already been in the front row, successfully completed the registration and received a number.

When Xiao Shasha rode on Foianini's neck, gathered enough height and altitude, and came to the anti-riot window of the registration desk-the registration staff was obviously stunned for a moment.

The teller girl obviously didn't expect that such a cute and cute hybrid beast would be the coach of the audition team.

"Please help me register, thank you!"

Shasha took out the personal information of the team members one by one from the file package, including the basic parameters of the composition of the elemental quality and the sextant security check form.

Teller girl: "Okay, please wait a moment."

After a while, the little girl turned her head away from the computer screen, her expression became a little embarrassed.

"Shark Pepper, now I have two questions."

Shasha: "Please tell me."

Teller girl: "This team of yours has no local sponsors, only one Ma's Mutton Restaurant, according to the regulations of the Best Luna Cup Competition Committee"

Speaking of this, the little girl showed regret.

"—The team members must wear pure white team uniforms. The Ma's Mutton Restaurant only has a sanitation license and a business license. If Boss Ma wants to sponsor you, he must establish a business entity with the qualifications to run a club. This proves that he has no of."

"Small problem." Shasha has rich experience and had expected it: "I don't want to wear the name of a mutton shop team, and it doesn't matter if I wear white clothes."

"The other problem is more troublesome." The little girl at the teller patiently explained: "Little Pepper, you are all foreigners, and there are four members in the team whose ID cards are located in the first district. If you don’t participate in the competition without the certification of a local enterprise, and you don’t have a club, you have to pay a registration fee.”

The little girl moved the computer screen and opened Brother Qi Ji's personal information alone.

"And this young man, his temporary ID card has expired and needs to be reissued."

Shasha took out his wallet, and then asked, "How much does it cost if you add it all up?"

Teller girl: "There are 377,613 pyroxene coins in total."

"So expensive!?" Shasha was stunned.

The girl at the teller smiled and said: "It's really expensive, the schedule in the first district is really difficult, and there are many teams that go to other places to compete, but small teams like you, Xiaojiao, can't find sponsors , it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

The little shark asked in a low voice, "Can it be cheaper?"

"It can be paid in installments!" The teller girl went on to say, "The money will be deposited into the Sports Welfare Foundation in Daji Township and used to build schools and nursing homes."

Little Shark: "Can it be divided into three hundred and sixty installments?"

"Uh..." the girl at the teller was a little embarrassed: "If you calculate the repayment period according to your own age of the disaster beast, Xiaojiao, I'm afraid it won't work."

At this moment, the other groups behind the team got a little impatient and started shouting.

"The aristocrats from the first district also came to our Daji Township to beg for food?!"

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up!"

"The one in white! Hurry up and go through the formalities!"

Little Shark was not angry, and ignored all these rumors, took out his coach ID, and discussed with the teller girl.

"Look up my file, good sister, I once got the achievement of district representative in the 30th district. If nothing else happens, if I can make it to the second half of the competition this time, there must be no shortage of sponsors—so much It's a small matter, the organizer of Daji Township shouldn't embarrass me, right?"

"Oh! Wow!" The little girl took a look at the ID, and went to the background system of the game to verify the historical results of Shasha coach, and became surprised, "Of course! I can go to Adulis and Cairo, and I can see it with my own eyes. To the warriors of the Luna Cup, we can waive the registration fee."

"Hey!~" The little shark grabbed Foianini's hair and shook it back and forth, very happy.

"This is your team number. This is not the first time you have come to participate in the competition. Do you need me to explain the specific schedule again?" The girl at the teller sent a stack of registration plates and file bags to Shasha.

Little Shark: "No problem! I can handle it!"

"One more thing!" The girl at the teller tossed her hair, her face was covered with freckles, her eyes were fluttering, and she poked half of her head out of the riot window, "Little Pepper! Can I kiss you?"

The little shark immediately leaned over to the counter: "Of course!"

"I wish you success in this trial." The teller girl stuck to the window, leaving a fiery lipstick mark on the shark's face. Foianini was carrying the little shark on his back, almost going crazy with jealousy.

After coach Shark left with the competition materials, he called the players to go to the backstage to prepare for the competition.

In the common room transformed from the large bathhouse in Flagstaff, audition teams entered the reserve area in batches. Before that, they had to collect equipment. Shasha and the team members explained the rules of the preliminary round.

"Our number is 315-in the fifth round, brothers, and we will be on the field in twenty minutes. How does it feel?"

Everyone followed Shark Pepper without speaking.

It can be seen that the children are a little nervous. There are too many people inside and outside the Blue Eagle Stadium.

The main event of the Luna Cup is the knight competition, but at the same time there will be traditional sports competitions, as well as the Paralympic Games. Audiences, field staff, and players from the sub-venues will all gather in this gymnasium on this day.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you take two steps to the side, you can step on the toes of pedestrians. It is so crowded that it is difficult to breathe.

The most uncomfortable thing was brother Qi Ji. He had never seen so many people. The most crowded place he had ever been to in his life was Shanghai Beach during the holidays.

The secluded life all year round made him somewhat unable to adapt to such a lively environment, all kinds of conversations, cheers, harsh noises that screamed when the lottery was drawn, all kinds of hybrid beasts, and powerful psykers The tidal wave of psionic energy emanating from them all made him dizzy.

He is also the leader of the team, the leader of the first team. If there were thousands of spectators in the preliminary stage of the audition, he would feel the pressure like a mountain before taking the stage, and he would not be able to say a word.

There are too many people, too many people.

Little Shark can obviously feel that these brothers and sisters are not in the right condition, but there is nothing they can do. Relying on words to encourage them will only amplify the pressure in their hearts. The audition schedule is like this. swallowed by the sea.

The veterans who participated in the Luna Cup called this environment the "South Wall", which comes from a Chinese proverb, which means that if you don't hit the South Wall, you will not look back-if you don't smash this wall, you will lose to the weakness of your heart .

All newcomers participating in the competition must face this kind of environment, which is fair and equal. For psykers, it is a very wonderful inspirational experience, just like Xue Ming and Meteor's experience when facing the holy beast, It will make the psyker transform quickly.

"Collect your equipment, as written in the manual." Came to the metal room where the competition props were distributed, Shasha explained to everyone: "In the audition stage, we will use the officially issued weapons and go through three competitions."

"The teams participating in the competition vary from good to bad. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, version 12.7 ammunition rules are adopted in the bullet competition."

"The main weapon is a P99 pistol. Each person has only one magazine. The ammunition is made of Mrs. Bai's freeze-dried powder. Even if it hits the eye socket, it will not kill you."

"The secondary weapon is a plastic-steel fighting knife sponsored by Cold Steel, with a blade length of sixteen centimeters."

"Without any protective gear, one point is lost for being shot in the torso, and three points for the vitals. The total of five people is 30 points."

"Version 12.7 ammunition rules are very kind to newcomers. Everyone's life limit is six points. It's very simple, right?"

"As long as it hits the vital points twice at the same time, it will be regarded as the process of entering the door of death to complete death."

"If the cumulative damage exceeds six times, you will be forced out."

"If there is a situation where there is a fight, the high-speed camera will also take pictures of the fighting at that time, and the side that defeats the enemy first wins."

Shasha pointed to the lounge to supplement the explanation.

"If it's the ammunition rules of the previous version of the audition, everyone only has three points, and if the vitals are attacked, they will be out on the spot. The new rules were revised by the referees of the committee. Many clubs' youth training camps implement this set of rules—— It is more reasonable, so it will continue to be used in this year's main race."

"Coach." Qi Ji brought the P99 and the dagger, feeling a little at a loss, "I have never fired a gun, is this my weapon? If I survive this round, the next match will be real, and I have to use this A pistol to heal teammates?"

"That's right! Brother Miracle!" Little Shark grasped the key point: "You have to adapt to firearms and learn to use firearms—this is your weapon to rescue your teammates, and these supplies."

Speaking of this, the little shark threw three cans of Mrs. Bai's hemostatic high-pressure aerogel from the tin box counter.

"These sprays can heal your teammates at close range. Its range is less than 50 centimeters, and it needs to be attached very, very close. According to the algorithm of 30 points in total and 6 points per person, the spray is an additional 18 points, yes Our opportunity to buy lives. If the enemy captures these sprays, the situation may become very bad. The offensive side with regenerative resources will unscrupulously choose to trade injuries for injuries. Every time the distribution of props, it is necessary to rescue teammates I will make arrangements in advance to whomever the resources are given to, and this is my job."

"I really..." Qi Ji stammered: "I really can."

He looked at the gun lock of the P99, it was the first time in his life that he touched a real gun.

Shark Pepper: "Why don't you ask the amazing Uncle Xiao Ming? You have one of the best killers in the underground world by your side. He is not only fierce with his guns, but also a master gun maker."

"Cough..." Jiang Xueming didn't want to reveal his identity in public, otherwise he would be accompanied by a burst of powerful music later, and all kinds of fanatical fans would block him in the toilet.

Qi Ji turned to look at Jiang Xueming.

Xiao Shasha whispered: "Believe in yourself, believe in my choice, believe in Uncle Xiao Ming. We don't have much time!"

The voice has not yet finished, and the staff has already started to call the number. Teams from batches 300 to 330 should immediately enter the lounge and wait for the game to start.

More than a hundred people crowded into the common room. The last round of competitions was not over yet. From the window of the lounge, people on the stadium could see blood and sweat.

The wide green field is divided into three large areas, the two sides are the range of activities of the contestants, and the middle is the complex fighting area.

The CQB environment with rooms separated by oak boards also has an empty long alley of more than 80 meters for point-and-shoot duels with pistols.

Every year, these modular competition scenes are randomly arranged like a complex sandbox, like a college entrance examination question bank, which makes veterans confused and have to adapt to the unfamiliar environment of sea elections, which is very likely to capsize in the gutter.

Right now, right now.

There's a lot going on in the crowded lounge.

Qi Ji's eyes were fixed on the foreign players on the field. He couldn't see the internal structure of the complex room clearly, he could only hear the screaming of bullets one after another. On the green grass of the Blue Eagle Stadium, there was no longer any player in the activity area of ​​the red and black sides, and they all rushed to the complicated fighting area.

The same was true for Daniel, the circulation fan rolled the smell of sweat from the stadium into the lounge, and the hot summer filled the entire underground cavity with an irritating air pressure.

This kind of waiting is suffering, like going to the execution ground to meet the appointment of death.

Xiaohao was not as anxious as he was at the beginning, his eyes were fixed on the commentary seats on the main stage and the audience seats in the stadium.

People from different villages, towns and cities gathered here. They held ribbons, whistled, and grabbed the cultural shirts of various clubs. The local manufacturers were their work units, and the contestants were gold medal fighters invited by the manufacturers.

The young talent sweating on the court may be the nephew who was running around in the community a few years ago, but now he has grown up and become the next generation full of passion and vitality.

Eighteen flags are arranged in a big circle around the green field. These are the local merchants supporting the Daji Township competition area, from Yunlong Heavy Industry to Hemei Home Appliances, from Aurora Snacks to Charles Technology-team flags of various colors and team shapes of various forms. emblem.

The two girls were lying on the window, looking eagerly at the men's team of the Hainan Coconut Juice Team. The men's team in cardigan suits was live broadcasting goods at the branch venue. Put your head in the window.

But at this very moment——

——The uninvited guest from the 316 team broke the calm before the game.

A dirty hand was attached to Kathy Gerald's high-up buttocks, and before it touched the body of Kathy's little sister, the gunsmith grabbed it.

"What are you going to do?" the gunsmith said coldly.

The owner of this salty pig's hand is a breakthrough hand from the 316 team. It was a young guy with brown hair, green eyes, and wheat-colored skin.

Being caught by the gunsmith, this young man is not shy at all, but his attitude is very arrogant, as if he has eaten gunpowder.

"I want to brand some of you rookies in white—what's the matter? Reject my offer?"

Shark Pepper immediately turned his head back, but his cute expression disappeared, and he became the hero of the seabed, with sharp teeth, sharp mouth and ferocious face: "The game hasn't started yet."

It saw the purple team uniform on this guy and the prismatic crystal badge on his chest. He was a prestigious team in the Daji Township Division and the [Amethyst] club sponsored by a pyroxene jewelry manufacturer.

"You kid is Amethyst's breakthrough player, are you quite professional? Seeing the weakness that my girl inadvertently exposed, you can't wait to break through?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Amethyst's boy laughed loudly, as if he was amused by the strange metaphor of the shark: "The coach in white! Are you interesting!?"

As soon as the gunsmith exerted force, the boy's face changed suddenly. He only felt a heart-piercing pain coming from his wrist, but his face was pretending to be calm, not wanting to lose.

By this time, Kathy and Xiao Min hadn't recovered from their senses. They only knew that the male model on the sidelines was very good-looking, but they didn't know that they hadn't played yet—the enemy's vanguard had already come to make money and speak harshly.

"Let go of me." The young man's tone was low, with a sinister look on his face.

Jiang Xueming: "You better be polite."

Boy: "Haven't I touched it yet?"

Jiang Xueming let go of his hand, and the young man took two steps back, showing resentful and dissatisfied eyes.

"Remember, my name is Fiego, Fiego Sebasti." The young man took out his player ID from his team uniform. He was twenty-two years old and was a contracted player of Amethyst: "When we are on the field, I'll still leave my trademark on this beauty's ass - in white, remember, you can book a return ticket now."

The baby shark yelled, "How!"

Brother Hao stood up abruptly, and his soul returned to his body from the crowd of people in the auditorium.

"What's wrong?!"

The scene was too noisy, and Brother Hao's voice became much louder.

The little shark's gray-blue index finger popped out, like a sharp arrow from a bow: "This guy is a breakthrough player of Amethyst, and he is the same type of player as you."

"Oh!" Brother Hao stepped forward quickly, just blocking Foyego's way.

Fiego looked at this strong man who suddenly appeared in surprise——

——Ahao's steps were fast and fierce, as if a city wall came to his face in an instant.

"You are my opponent?" Ah Hao frowned, his eyes sparkling, "As long as I beat you, my mission will be completed, right? As long as I am better than you, the audience will definitely like me, Is it right?"

"Is there something wrong with this guy?" Fiego had a hard time understanding Ahao's brain circuit, and only felt a heat on his forehead.

Xiaohao is much stronger than Amethyst's breakthrough hand. They are about the same height, both men over 180 centimeters.

At this moment, Brother Hao's forehead touched Fiego's forehead.

"One bite at a time in white! What nonsense are you talking about! I want to protect this white shirt—and JK's ass! I will also protect it!"

Kathy Gerrard spat out the energy drink and nearly laughed out loud.

Brother Hao clenched his fists, and there was a crackling sound in Fyego's ear——

——It wasn't until this inexplicable opponent left that Foyego returned to the team of 316 Amethyst in a daze.

Amethyst's coach looked at the breakthrough hand and came back with straight eyes, so he asked.

"Voyego, have you succeeded? Are they angry? It's not a glorious move to piss off your opponent, but it's useful."

Fiego Sebasti shook his head, as if he had received a strong spiritual shock, his arm was still aching.

"I don't know. Coach I don't understand these people. It's weird. Me."

Amethyst's coach glanced at Foego: "No injury, right? What happened to your hand?"

Fiego glanced at the rest of the team—

——He was a little flustered, you must know that Amethyst's players are all elites.

The dull pain in the arm still didn't go away. He didn't know how the injury was, and he still had the last few minutes of preparation time. If he showed timidity at this time, not only would he be ridiculed, but it would also be difficult to raise his head in front of the coach in the future.

"I'm fine."
