Wang Zheng was about to make a few moves when suddenly, the communication screen at the side lit up slightly and a connection popped up. A woman who looked to be about 30 years old appeared on the screen.
"Hello, I'm Kyle Ram, your instructor in charge. I hope we can work well together."
Kyle Ram gave a military salute after he finished speaking.
Wang Zheng quickly returned the salute. "Thank you, Instructor. Please give me your instructions."
Kyle Ram nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Do you have any experience in underwater combat?"
Wang Zheng shook his head. "Reporting to Instructor, no."
"Very good. Let's have the basic test first. Let me see your performance …"
"Yes, Instructor."
On the other side …
Everyone had their own instructors to contact them. Obviously, this training did not allow everyone to aimlessly train on their own. Every contestant was specially paired with an instructor to conduct one-on-one mission guidance.
For a moment, the mecha were scattered in the water. Under the guidance of the instructors, they did one training after another in the form of missions.
It seemed that this made the training easier, but in reality, it became harder.
These instructors in charge had all undergone professional instructor training. They were not just strong or experienced. They had sharp senses and could squeeze out every bit of potential from the trainees. Want to rest? You think you've reached your limit? Sorry, I don't see that your "feel" and "think" are correct. Obey orders!
Almost everyone had been pushed to their limits ….
Except for … Lie Xin, Achilles, and Wang Zheng.
The instructor in charge felt afraid and took the initiative to stop training.
This training was divided into actual combat practice and virtual combat. The latter could cover a higher range and allow them to come into contact with more mecha. As for naval combat, the Solar System's main strategy was to resist passively. After all, the main focus was still on land and space combat.
Dragging their tired bodies, everyone finally drove their mecha back to the mecha hold. When they came out of the mecha cockpit, most of them were so tired that they couldn't even breathe. The resistance underwater was very strong, especially after they had just experienced a relaxing space battle. Without any resistance, they could do all kinds of fancy movements. However, when they were underwater, anyone who dared to do anything would be playing with their lives.
Zhang Shan sat on the ground without a care for his image. "Is there anyone to help me down?"
On the other side, Yuan Ye … was lying on the ground without a care for his image. He was as miserable as a dog in the summer.
Mars … Did they have to be so cruel? At least leave some strength to walk … no, leave some strength to crawl back.
Duncan walked over. The unique footsteps of his military boots sounded like the breathing of the devil in everyone's ears.
"Medic!"
Rumble! A group of female nurses rushed in. Their bell-like laughter rang out as they carried the immobile contestants out on stretchers.
Brutal training would obviously have corresponding measures. Not only did the female guards have pleasant laughter, they were also proficient in all kinds of resuscitation massage techniques. After training beyond their limits, receiving resuscitation massage would have obvious effects on the growth of their strength.
This was something that no one had expected. They had worked themselves to death, but they had never expected to receive such treatment. It was heaven-defying.
Just as Wang Zheng was about to take a break, he was stopped by Duncan. "Wang Zheng, you seem to be very relaxed. Just in time to clean and tidy up the mech so that it can be used tomorrow. The preparatory leader should set an example."
When he turned around … everyone else had already left.
Wang Zheng exhaled. "Yes."
"Very good. You can go back after you're done cleaning."
Duncan nodded and turned to leave. The huge mech hangar was a little chilly.
Duncan returned to the base's command hall. General Lie Wuqing was sitting on the commander's seat.
"General."
With a snap, Duncan stood up and saluted.
"Hehe, let's see how this prospective leader's mentality is." Lie Wuqing said with a smile.
The images of Meng Ao and Drachmach were also there. As the IG quota for each district was gradually confirmed, they had also received a lot of information from various parties. There was indeed a lot of pressure. If they still followed the usual routine, it would be very difficult to have any results. Hence, the three of them were also discussing if they should be more ruthless.
Lie Xin had already been ruled out. This was suggested by Lie Wuqing. After looking at the information from the other districts, they had already determined that Lie Xin would not be the leader.
Lear, Achilles, and Wang Zheng each had their own unique characteristics. Lear wasn't tough enough, Achilles wasn't ruthless enough, and sometimes took things for granted. Only Wang Zheng was a little unfathomable. He was calm in all aspects, especially since his Ability X had been awakened. This had satisfied everyone's expectations even more.
More importantly, Wang Zheng's calmness and indifference when dealing with danger was what the three of them had taken a fancy to. The smile he showed when fighting against the Zerg had left a deep impression on the three generals. This was a state that only a person who had been on the battlefield for a long time would have. And in the future IG confrontations, this would be the first choice. This was because their opponents were no longer students, but soldiers, or even … killing machines.
No matter how Wang Zheng dealt with it, at least he could have a calm state of mind when danger was lurking everywhere.
"Even if he agreed verbally, would he really be convinced in his heart? Everyone else has gone to enjoy, but he still has to toil alone," Drachmach said. This was deliberately arranged by them. Obviously, the lineup of the Solar System Federation was not that weak, and the role of the leader was especially important.
Meng Ao did not make any comments. At this time, action was more important. Although he had supported Lear from the start, and frankly speaking, if Lear could be promoted, he might receive more support. But from experience, although Lear was good at planning, in the Milky Way Alliance IG, there was no time or place for this ability to be displayed.
Mech warehouse …
In Duncan's eyes, it was unfair treatment, but in Wang Zheng's eyes …
"Cool, just one word, and I'll only say it once … Devil Iron Mech, tsk, so that's how it is. Inside the rough exterior, there's a delicate side …"
Wang Zheng cleaned very seriously and professionally. In Luomu's words, caring for the mech was actually the best communication process. Only when you cared for it, would it protect you at the crucial moment.
When alone, it was easier to think in peace. Regarding the design of the mech, some of its characteristics, there was a different understanding.
Of course, the number of people who could do it could be counted on one's fingers, and it must be done with professional skills.
The three generals had all climbed up from the bottom. Even Drachmach had been in the grass-roots army, and there was absolutely no problem with his foresight. Just from the starting position of the mech cleaning, they knew that this Wang Zheng was a professional.
And in terms of attitude, the three of them smiled. Actually, it was already very good that Wang Zheng could be serious, but not only was he serious and professional, he could also enjoy it with a relaxed attitude. This was really not something an ordinary person could do.
"Meng Ao, your Earth has produced a treasure. This temperament is amazing. Drachmach, are you sure that his aerial combat aspect is not a problem?" Lie Wuqing asked.
"I've already looked through the information carefully. Although there were some adaptation problems at the beginning, the performance at the end was superb. Scores do not represent ability."
Scores were a system, but it was not everything. As a leader, he naturally had a higher level of judgment.
The conflict between Lear and Achilles was a problem. The two of them were too diametrically opposed. This caused the three generals to consider Wang Zheng and finally make such a decision.
Unknowingly, the last mech was cleaned. Three hours had passed. It was hard to imagine that after a whole day of training, he still had such concentration.
Wang Zheng cleaned for three hours. The three generals chatted and watched for such a long time, and it did not feel like a long time. It could be seen that Wang Zheng had a good understanding of mecha. He should have a deep understanding of the information in the past.
This could not be helped. Wang Zheng was a mech fanatic. Just like how men loved beautiful women, was it tiring to bathe and apply sunscreen for beautiful women?
At the end, it was to make sure that nothing went wrong. In the end, it was to see if Wang Zheng was a person with three minutes of enthusiasm. Meng Ao and the other two saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
"If there are no problems in the final battle, we will choose him," Lie Wuqing said. Martians were more direct, and Wang Zheng's personality was to his liking. Anyway, he was not very interested in people like Achilles.
"Agreed." Drachmach nodded. If he had chosen Lear, he would have objected. Lear was too good at playing tricks. Although it was said that success did not depend on tactics, these tactics had their limits and could not be used everywhere. In his opinion, Lear was a typical expert in civil war, but a layman in foreign wars.
Meng Ao smiled. "It's rare for the two of you to agree so much. I'm a little embarrassed. I hope this kid does not let us down. There's still some time before the competition starts. We have to find a way to improve his Ability X."
Although the attack power of the enhanced Ability X was not strong enough, this team did not lack members with tyrannical attacks. It was not that important. As long as Wang Zheng had such an ability, he would be able to see the big picture and judge the situation.
What they were most worried about at the beginning was that without Ability X, he would misjudge the opponent's strength. This would definitely not make him a leader, and even the team members would be in danger. But with Ability X, it was like taking a step forward. It was good to have a good ability, but average ability would not affect command.
To be honest, choosing Wang Zheng was also a balance. It was considered the best choice out of all the choices. After all, everyone still hoped to have a super all-rounded leader.
At this moment, Wang Zheng raised his head. Not far away was the Atlantean mech …
Indeed, this mech was still the most handsome. Atlantis. The little prince he had seen previously was also very interesting. The entire mech was very streamlined, as if it was full of vitality. It was very strange. As long as one was an Earthling, they were very interested in the former Atlantis civilization. If there was a chance, he would also like to see this lost civilization.
Wang Zheng looked here and there with interest. He even climbed into the cockpit to take a look. In terms of specifications, the operating system was very similar to human mecha. However, other than these, there were many Atlantean parts that he could not understand. It was said that these devices were used to receive "thoughts". There was a theory that was worth believing that the Atlantean mech did not actually need a pilot. It could be activated and even used for battle.
From some of the Atlantean battle videos, he had seen that it was indeed possible to use one's thoughts to activate and perform some simple operations. It was said that these pattern-like things were battle runes that could reflect the thoughts of the Atlanteans. It was very cool, but it was a pity that humans, even those with Ability X, did not have such control.
Wang Zheng imitated the Atlanteans in the video and coolly stretched out his hand. "Activate!"
