Chapter 546: Respective Choices and Missions

The roar of the engine rang in my ears as the transport plane broke through the clouds and gradually approached the ground. Then the doors opened one by one and the people in the belly of the plane jumped out one by one, like small dots sinking into the world below.

Walking to the cabin door, Tilan held the door frame with one hand, looking at the green valley below, with the sound of rushing wind in her ears. She stepped on the anti-skid plate in her black leather shoes, slightly bent her legs, and then jumped down.

The violent air current blew up her two long locks of hair, which swayed and danced rapidly in the air. As the altitude decreased, the mountain mist came towards her, bringing a cool breeze.

As she got closer and closer to the ground, a faint white light appeared on her body and her speed gradually decreased, until finally her toes lightly touched the ground and the hem of her skirt slowly fell down carrying the air flow.

At this moment, where she was standing, she was surrounded by towering trees, and the open space in the forest was also covered with fallen leaves and undulating and rugged tree roots.

Soon, several familiar figures landed not far from her. Some were on the trees, some fell directly to the ground, and some jumped several times in the air before landing easily on the ground.

About five minutes later, twenty people gathered around Tilan.

……

Two hours ago, the singers who were taking part in the competition stood in front of the school's helipad. Arnansa stepped onto the podium and announced the location and rules of the competition.

"Each of you can bring a team of 50 people to participate in the confrontation, and then you will be picked up by a dedicated transport plane, which will fly over the location along the trajectory shown in the diagram." She pressed one hand on the virtual projection interface, which showed a place where mountains converged. Several peaks divided the entire map into several areas, and between the peaks there were various terrains such as valleys, plains, forests, and hills.

"There are more than 50 strongholds hidden in this area, some large and some small, with various supplies stored inside. Once discovered, they can be used by you. In addition, you can also earn points every day by occupying these strongholds, and you can use these points to exchange for some necessities."

"During the entire battle, the singer is not allowed to attack personally, but can use relevant abilities to grant protection to teammates. Once the singer of your team is in close contact with the opponent's members, she will be declared defeated and eliminated."

"The entire competition will last for two weeks. If there are still singers who have not been eliminated at the end, the winner will be determined by the points of both parties."

"In addition, there are various neutral forces in this area. If you can fulfill their needs, they will also be used by you."

"Now you can each start boarding the plane."

……

After recalling the rules that Arnansha had described, Tilan looked at the ring on her wrist. This ring could detect her health data and action data. If she used speed and combat power that exceeded the limit, a warning would be issued. This was to limit the singer's own strength and allow them to use more thinking and singer-related abilities to solve problems.

"At present, all personnel have reported their positions, and the remaining thirty people are also rushing here." Bennett pressed the hilt of the knife with one hand and came to the girl to report.

"I suggest that we can now have everyone search for strongholds in different dispersed locations according to their landing points, rather than just gathering together." The society secretary who was traveling with them suggested.

"Then let's find a stronghold around here first, and then let everyone gather nearby at night." Tilan nodded.

The companions then began to allocate tasks, dividing into groups of 2-5 people according to each person's location, and then began the search.

……

Half an hour later, Tilan arrived at the first discovered stronghold following the report of his companions.

"It's right here, below the cliff." A girl with short brown hair waved in front, with two companions standing beside her.

Following everyone into the narrow door under the cliff, Tilan felt the air gradually becoming cooler. After passing through a cave tunnel dozens of meters long, the view in front of her suddenly opened up and a space inside the mountain appeared before her.

This place is divided into three layers according to the mountain wall. There are multiple empty rooms on each layer, and the open square in the center is filled with military green boxes. Judging from the signs on the outside, there should be various firearms and bullets, as well as a small number of emergency medicines.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the small mecha standing among these boxes.

It is about ten meters tall, with an angular black steel appearance. Its head is triangular, similar to a manta ray. It holds a laser machine gun in one hand and a small shield in the other.

[The "Devil Shark-C1" mecha is a miniature mecha that entered service 60 years ago. It is specially prepared for underground warfare and breakthrough warfare. It is small in size and very flexible, but its body is strong and can withstand the pressure of mountain collapse.] Medi held the personal terminal in her hand and played the introduction of the mecha.

"To be honest, when I saw this guy for the first time, I was filled with surprise, and the second time I felt an inexplicable fear," said a member.

"Why do you think so?"

"It's simple. Since we can find this kind of thing here, it means that other singing girls' teams can also find the same thing. And the mecha, even the micro mecha with the lowest combat effectiveness, can dominate the battlefield. You and I can't defeat it."

"This almost means that in this competition, the role of individual strength will be greatly limited, and the most important thing is whether each team can master a large number of such weapons and obtain more supplies."

“Are you scared already?” A mature woman covered her mouth as she was about to yawn. Her bright red eyes swept across the entire room, causing a few members who were somewhat shaken to shudder.

"Stasia~" Maddie came up to the tall, mature girl with black and red highlights with smiling eyes.

"Okay, I won't scare them, okay?" Stasya restrained the flickering bright red light in her eyes.

Although both are Sequence 6, this Blood Eye Sequence 6 Stacia gives people an extremely dangerous feeling, as if her head may be chopped off at any time. No one knows how Medi subdued her. It seems that Stacia is difficult for others to command her except to listen to the orders of President Tilan.

"Let's get started. We'll first count the supplies and then use this place as our temporary headquarters." After getting Tilan's consent, Medi and several other members who focused on logistics command began to arrange tasks.

That night, Tilan slept in this safe cave base, and according to reports, the entire cluster members had found four bases of different sizes.

……

At the same time, in the far northern hilly highlands.

At night, the flames still burned brightly, illuminating the sky and the earth with a fiery red glow.

In the center of the crowd of red-dressed members, a short-haired girl walked out slowly. She was wearing a red hooded cloak. In the flickering firelight, she gathered the hood with her fingers and slowly took it off, revealing her slightly lively and superior eyes.

The girl slowly bent down and looked at the man in white exoskeleton armor who was pressed to the ground in front of her.

"Submit to me, or perish."

The man struggled violently, but the red-clad member who was holding him down had already controlled him. Strands of red rays penetrated into his body, interfering with the operation of his extraordinary core and making it difficult for him to exert his combat power.

"You must rescue my sister before I will agree to join you." He expressed his wish.

"Your sister is in a large base 40 kilometers away. She is guarded by high-level mechanical combat units, as well as many corresponding researchers and affiliated autonomous units. This task is too time-consuming and laborious to complete. We don't have time to do as you request." The red-clothed member at the side tapped on the projection keyboard in front of him and showed him the information.

"You obviously know what to do, why don't you agree to me?" the man yelled, trying to break free.

Half a month ago, he was told that if he wanted his terminally ill sister to receive free high-level medical assistance, he had to participate in this confidential exercise. If his sister was rescued from the experimental base during the exercise, the money would be directly transferred to his account. "Because it's too inefficient." The caramel-haired girl answered, looking at the man in front of her, and the red in her eyes was like a swimming flame that slowly imprinted in the man's mind.

"I promise you that your sister will be rescued after this exercise, but now you have to be my strength." She did not lie, and her words were firm.

"I..." Looking at those eyes and feeling the will in them that was so sincere and yet as burning as fire, the man fell to his knees in pain.

He wanted to refuse, but a voice in his head told him that he could trust the girl in front of him. She was not lying and did not want to lie.

"I..." He clenched his fists and pounded the ground, struggling in his heart.

He had signed a contract before coming here, which ensured that as long as his sister was rescued during the exercise, she would be rescued. But the girl in front of him told him that as long as he followed her, he could also be rescued. Should he believe this girl? Can she guarantee that she will do what she promised?
Watching the man struggling on the ground, the caramel-haired girl sighed, then stretched out her hand and slowly lifted the man's cheek.

"Trust me." She tried to make her tone a little gentler and imitate the familiar figure.

"I...I, I believe you." As if to convince himself, the man finally nodded his head and agreed.

"it is good."

The girl slowly stood up and looked at the more than 20 people in white exoskeleton armor who were also subdued behind the man.

Seeing that the man agreed, these people lowered their heads to show their submission, because in the contract, they were the man's subordinates, and as long as he agreed, they would follow him unanimously.

"Congratulations, President Pulin. Now we have nearly half more manpower." Having half more manpower in the initial stage means that we can search and find strongholds faster and obtain supplies far exceeding those of other star clusters.

This huge advantage is the reason why Pulin took such action.

When she was done, she touched the ring on her wrist and looked up at the starry night sky.

Since the bracelet did not issue a warning, it means that her method is allowed by the rules of the competition.

As expected, just as the senior said, the singer brings not only mercy and tolerance, but also the steel-like will to fight on the battlefield. She is not gentle all the time. If she cannot win the war, blind kindness will only be a sharp blade that stabs her side.

I wonder how you will respond in this confrontation exercise. Can you still rely on your extraordinary talent and strength to maintain your gentleness?

If you can't, does it mean that you are wrong after all, and will only be hurt in the future because of this tenderness.

Putting the hood back on, Pulin glanced at the man standing in front of him, then turned back, slowly walked away, and disappeared among the crowd of red-clothed members.

……

On the other side, amidst the hail of bullets, a group of people were walking through the jungle protecting a chestnut-blonde girl.

Explosions sounded from time to time, and sudden flashes of light occasionally illuminated the sky with snow-white light.

"Whoohoo-"

A propeller with a strange sound descended rapidly from the sky, and then fell beside a group of people. In the broken flames, the floating autonomous combat unit broke into parts, the dark red metal burned the branches and leaves, and caused bursts of white smoke in the humid jungle.

Feeling the fire waves and explosions so close, the chestnut-blonde girl's face turned slightly pale. It's not like she hasn't seen such scenes before, but when all this really happened next to her, it still gave her a strong shock.

In the sky, wandering figures continued to fight with those floating autonomous units, dangerously weaving through the pouring bullets, and then pierced through the autonomous units covered with thick spherical armor with a sword.

From time to time, destroyed autonomous units fell, and from time to time injured members fell from the sky and were rescued by their companions who were monitoring them nervously below.

"We're almost there! Group one and two, you cover from both sides, and Group three and Group four and I will break into the center of the stronghold and destroy their main control hub." A blonde and capable woman in the air gave the command. She had firm eyes, and there were burn marks on the ends of her wide hair. The protective clothing she wore also had many burn holes.

"Yes." The remaining members responded in unison, and then formed a formation again, covering each other, and launched an attack on the patrolling floating autonomous units in the sky.

At the distant outpost on the hillside, as the raiding members approached, two automatic defense towers rose up, revealing the white circular gun barrels inside.

In an instant, a torrent of dense bullets were fired, and the bright green tracer bullets mixed in them drew a straight falling line in the air. Many nearby members were hit, sparks and blood splashed on their bodies, and then they fell to the ground.

"Damn it." The members in the rear couldn't help cursing when they saw this scene, but they soon joined the front line where the flames were blazing, flying in spirals continuously, avoiding the shooting of the defense towers while constantly approaching the center of the stronghold.

Finally, the four members arrived at the central platform. With a buzzing sound, four lightsabers emerged, and then, carrying burning sparks and boiling metal liquid, they were inserted into the platform deck. The four lightsabers rotated and cut, and a hole was opened. Then they broke into it. Soon, an explosion occurred from the inside, and the fighting floating autonomous units in the sky finally shut down and slowly landed on the ground.

Ten minutes later, the chestnut-blonde girl who was found by her companions, surrounded by a crowd, slowly climbed up to the core area of ​​the base. When she placed her hand on the main control screen, lines of subtitles flashed by, and then the lights in the entire base lit up.

[The ownership of Mount Sinai has changed. It now belongs to Blanche Nadezhda]
After finishing, she turned around and looked at the members below who were injured, some even covered in blood, and felt heavy in her heart.

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard for me."

She felt like a burden, unable to provide any protection or help, and had to make everyone fight to the death to win for her.

A young man with a bandaged head and one limp arm barely raised his other, slightly intact arm.

"For the glory of the Northwestern Star Region." He stared at the girl on the stage, his voice carrying a hint of loneliness and tenacity.

With this first sentence, a series of voices rang out in the hall of this stronghold.

Hands were raised and stubborn voices shouted out.

"For the glory of the Northwestern Star Region."

"For the glory of the Northwestern Star Region."

"For the glory of the Northwestern Star Region."

……

The uniform voices continued to echo in this mountain stronghold.

"We hope that you can win and restore the economic environment of many northwestern star regions in the proposals of the Central Council." Those bright eyes looked at the chestnut-haired girl on the stage, full of desire and hope.

There has never been a moment like this that made Blanche feel the heavy mission and hope on her shoulders.
