Emotional management. Although he was a little depressed, he had to admire Achilles's coldness.
Of course, the most basic problem had to be solved. Achilles was not that unreasonable. He could not miss out on the opportunity to eat and drink, but he could not touch alcohol.
Humans were often like this. The more they could not have, the more they desired. Dong Xiaosa and Pi Xiaoxiu's alcohol bug was acting up, especially when they were drinking big mouthfuls of wine and meat. It was too satisfying, and they could only drink mineral water. What was going on?
But two hours before they arrived, the Eight Stars had all gathered and were ready to set off. In fact, there was not much to replenish. They just ate their fill and replenished their military rations and water. After all, mecha did not come with refrigerators, so they did not have good storage conditions.
"Everyone, go!" Achilles waved his hand as he looked at the night sky.
"If it were me, I would check first." A voice rang out from the darkness.
The excited expressions of the Eight Stars froze. Achilles turned around, and a person walked out from the darkness.
Taros!
"Atos, Masasi, go take a look," Achilles said calmly.
"Taros, what a coincidence. It seems like we are fated to meet." Achilles laughed.
"Boss, look! D * mn, someone is plotting against us!"
A small magnetic mine was found on Achilles' mech. As the mech moved, after a certain amount of magnetic force accumulated, it would explode. The power was not great, but it was enough to cause the mech to malfunction during a long journey. If it really exploded, he would definitely be eliminated.
"Thank you!" Achilles' eyes turned cold. He did not expect Taros to help him.
Taros shook his head. "I am doing this for myself. In the first stage, we made a bet, and I am willing to accept my loss. I support you as leader, and … I am interested in Lie Xin, but she is not interested in me."
Taros was rather direct. Achilles understood Taros's character very well. He would not do anything without benefits.
Raston had already allied with Lie Xin, and Taros would definitely have to make a choice between him and Lear.
At this time, anyone who was slightly normal would choose him. As for the bet, it was just an excuse. After all, they all wanted face.
"Welcome. With your help, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"
Achilles laughed. Although Milo and the others did not like this person very much, Taros was stronger than them. Moreover, they were not enough to compete for the position of captain.
"Damn it! Who the hell did this to us? If I find out, I'll definitely kill him!"
"Lear, this is Earth. I don't believe that they don't know that this is a training ground. They must have arranged this beforehand to set us up!" Atos said angrily. Looking at Taros' unfriendly expression, he had always felt that Taros was the one who set him up.
Taros didn't care at all. He was here for the common good, and he didn't care what a small fry thought of him.
Achilles, of course, knew Taros's character. This person was not reliable, but as long as there were benefits, especially common benefits, he was the most reliable.
"F * ck, Lear broke the rules. Damn it, I'll go find him when we get to the base!" Dong Xiaosa was furious.
"Milo, what do you think?" Achilles asked.
"The magnetic mine is from Earth, and it was made by the Chronos family. I don't think Lear is that naive. The current situation is clear. The position of captain will be chosen between Boss and Lie Xin. He has no one by his side, and at most, he can choose who to follow. Using such a childish method to eliminate us, it won't be his turn."
"If only he had tricked us and Lie Xin out of the competition."
"Then the IG this time would only exist in name." Milo's eyes flashed, and she looked at Taros. "Taros, did you see anything?"
"I only saw a flash of a figure. Even if there wasn't, checking the mech is basic, and you guys are so stupid that you didn't leave someone behind to watch." Taros sneered.
"You still want to rely on us stupid people!" Atos couldn't help but mock.
"Hehe, a wise man submits to circumstances. I am a wise man." Taros didn't care.
This was the weakness of the people from the Moon. Achilles didn't expect such a thing to happen in a selection. He looked at Atos, and Atos opened his mouth but didn't say anything. If Achilles wanted to be a leader, he had to be tolerant and have the ability to control.
"Welcome to the team!"
Achilles took the initiative to extend his hand. He needed someone by his side who was more "sinister," and without a doubt, Taros was the best candidate.
Was it Lear? It was more likely to be Lie Xin!
If it was said that the Lie family didn't have anyone on Earth, even a ghost would not believe it. Moreover, when a woman was ruthless, a man couldn't be compared to her. Currently, Lie Xin's biggest opponent was him.
As for Lear … other than a fatty, no one cared about him. This person was capable, but he was too arrogant. Even Achilles wasn't willing to use him.
"Happy working with you!" Taros's small eyes were filled with greed.
Although he was one of the five candidates, Taros was the same as Raston. He had to choose someone to follow. This would not only determine the results of this competition, but it would also affect his future for a long time.
After all, Achilles and Lie Xin were not ordinary people. The IG was just a springboard.
This was Lie Xin's declaration of war!
Similarly, Lie Xin had encountered the same thing, but this matter was discovered by Ruo Feng. Every team would always have a meticulous person.
"Has Lear fallen so low that he would resort to such underhanded methods?" Lie Guang laughed involuntarily.
"It doesn't seem like it. Although Lear doesn't get along well, he is quite arrogant. Even if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't do it in his own territory. It would be so obvious." Raston shook his head.
Lie Xin laughed. "It shouldn't be Lear. This person is too arrogant and looks down on everyone. Moreover, this little trick won't change the situation. He won't have a chance this year."
In terms of team and reputation, Achilles and Lie Xin completely outshone Lear. Not to mention them, even the ordinary members had no idea what Lear was like. He was not even as outstanding as Ares College on Earth.
"Do you think it was done by Achilles' people?" Lin Ruofeng said with a smile. The key point was that it was not Achilles, but Achilles' people.
The Sun God was equally arrogant and confident. He would not resort to such methods. However, he did not know what his subordinates would do. Milo, Atos, Masasi, and the rest were all loyal to Achilles. If they saw Raston joining them, they might have some ulterior motives.
"You guys don't have to overestimate Achilles. This person only looks decent on the surface. The people of the Moon have been learning from their failures. People change. Let's just treat this as the official start of the war. We have to speed up. We have to get first place in all the remaining competitions!"
Lie Xin was full of ambition. Her words were full of passion. With Raston and Lie Guang joining them, she was like a tiger that had grown wings. No one could stop her!
Unlike the others, Lear advanced alone, enjoying the solitude of the desert. Luo Fei, on the other hand, mingled with the stragglers, constantly trying to get close to others. After all, as an Earthling who had done strategy, the others were more than willing to have such a guide.
Especially since they could not enter the first tier, their only goal was to obtain a good result. Of course, if they were lucky enough to enter the main competition, that would be even better.
Results were the most important.
In Jill's base.
"Qiu Si, are these little guys alright?"
"General, their adaptability is strong, but they lack vigilance. In the small test, Lie Xin and Achilles' reactions did not meet the standard," Qiu Si said seriously.
"Who performed better?"
"General, Lear's performance is the best so far. He is completely in line with our goals for this zipper. Clear, clear, and currently in first place, far surpassing the others. His vigilance is also very high."
Qiu Si said meticulously.
"Alright, continue observing. … How is Wang Zheng's performance?" Meng Ao, who was preparing to leave, suddenly asked.
"Wang Zheng … his performance is average. Currently, he is in the middle of the team, but he did not make any mistakes." Qiu Si said. "General, I suggest that we assign Meng Tian and Zhang Runan to Lear's team. With their strength, along with Lear and Luo Fei, Earth has a bright future!"
Meng Ao did not speak. "Continue observing."
"Yes, General!"
Qiu Si saluted meticulously, and Meng Ao's image disappeared.
Wang Zheng's side was also speeding up. The aftereffects he had been worried about did not materialize. The great power had drained his body during the transformation process, but Wang Zheng's regenerative abilities were extremely strong, and he was slowly recovering. It was just that … he had eaten a little too much.
Having more people in such a desolate desert environment was indeed an advantage. He did not know how a person could adapt to such a desolate environment. It was driving people crazy, and the level of fatigue was far beyond what the average person could bear.
On the contrary, moving together as a team, the pressure and fatigue were greatly reduced.
In order to maintain their speed, the team took turns leading the way. The sweltering environment was indeed a headache for everyone. Meng Tian and Zhang Runan had it the hardest. The further they went, the more obvious the drawbacks of being a girl became. Even Zhang Runan was starting to feel a little overwhelmed, but the encouragement of the people around them kept them going.
At their current speed, they would arrive on time.
After five days with the mecha, the most direct change was that they were completely used to the mecha. They were no longer unfamiliar with it, and some of the hidden changes might not even have occurred to them.
This was the meaning of the first step of training. Practice makes perfect.
On the fifth day, the participating members piloted their own mecha and arrived at the target base one by one. Lear was the first to arrive.
He traversed the desert at a speed that broke the record, traveling in a straight line.
The second to arrive was Lie Xin. She had thought that she was the fastest, but she did not expect Lear to be there already.
The third to arrive was Achilles. When the rest saw Taros, they all seemed to have realized something.
The fourth to arrive was Wang Zheng and the rest. They had been in the middle of the pack, but in the last two days, their speed had increased significantly.
At this stage, the distribution of strength had begun to show, but not everyone could arrive on time.
No one thought that there would be consequences if they did not arrive on time. At most, some points would be deducted. But when the time was up, the gates to the base closed.
Those who did not arrive were all eliminated.
There would be spaceships that would send them away directly. There would not even be a chance for a summary.
There was no reason, no explanation.
