This was especially the case for the Lightning Dragon Academy. They had long planned to team up for the elimination rounds, and had also calculated that the rules for the first elimination round would definitely be announced after the announcement of the divisions. However, the organisers had unexpectedly not revealed anything, and had only asked the participating squadrons to gather at their respective departure stations at 6 in the morning, before heading towards their respective competition zone cities.
As Dell gave his final conclusion on the stage, the numerous participating squadrons below had already started to buzz with discussions.
"Why didn't they announce the rules for the first elimination round? Is it a 1 on 1 elimination system or something else? "
"Could it be that the organisers have forgotten about this? A mistake? "
"Idiot. How can they make such a low-level mistake in such a huge live broadcast to the entire world? There's definitely a problem here. "
"It's over. I feel that there's a very high possibility that they'll continue with the 1 on 1 elimination system from the previous CHF. Only by doing so would they not need to make a special announcement."
"That's right. That might really be the case."
"Sigh. I was still hoping to take a shortcut in the first elimination round. Looks like it's going to be very difficult. That bunch of C and D ranked squadrons can pack their luggage and prepare to go home."
"Block soldiers with arms, and water with soil! Haha. Our Wind God Academy doesn't care if we don't have any shortcuts from the start! "
"I don't feel that way." Seated beside Tianjing Academy, Dicaprio was also a chatterbox. Although there were many times when he was just talking to himself, "Everything has to be analyzed. Even if they were to continue with the rules from the previous CHF, the organisers should have at least mentioned a sentence."
"Captain Dicaprio, isn't that a little far-fetched? It's a tacit rule. There's nothing wrong with not mentioning it. "said Hymin with a frown on her face." No. "Wang Zhong shook his head.
With over a hundred squadrons in a competition zone, regardless of whether it was the cruel elimination system or the slow accumulation of points system, both of them were unsuitable for the elimination rounds. What's more, what Dicaprio had said was extremely reasonable. Although it was just an extremely small detail, it was in fact able to reveal the truth. Indeed, Dicaprio wasn't a fellow that only knew how to talk big, and was extremely clear about this matter. "What captain Dicaprio has said is correct. I feel that the greatest possibility of them not mentioning it is to launch a surprise attack, to prevent the various great squadrons from making any prior preparations. They're most likely trying to test everyone's ability to deal with unexpected situations, and use it as the first round's selection criteria." Hearing those words, Wang Zhong shook his head.
"What captain Dicaprio said is correct. I feel that the biggest possibility of them not mentioning it is to launch a surprise attack to prevent the various squadrons from making any prior preparations. It's most likely to be a test of everyone's ability to deal with unexpected situations, and use it as the first round's selection criteria." Dicaprio pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose, revealing a look of admiration. "Wang Zhong, you can just call me Bobo. Ah. Great minds think alike. Naturally, you don't need to be jealous that I'm more handsome than you. Perhaps, the elimination rounds might come earlier and more suddenly than we had imagined.
I feel that there's a high possibility of it being a test of survival. It's still extremely necessary to make preparations in advance! "The grand opening ceremony finally came to an end. The various squadrons had already returned to their respective hotels to pack their luggage and prepare to set off. Nervousness and anticipation shrouded the heads of every single squadron. Like the Lightning Dragon Academy, they were making use of this final period of time to start a large number of activities and groups. After all, the name list for the competition zones had already been decided. Regardless of the rules of the elimination rounds, this bunch of people could already confirm their 'squadrons'.
The opening ceremony was just a small event. In order to take into account the energy and condition of the various squadrons participating in the CHF, it could be considered to be rather simple. Furthermore, it didn't last for too long. After all, they had to set off early the next morning. However, to the people of Stuart City, the true carnival was just about to begin. Throughout the night, the sounds of cannon salutes and splendid fireworks could be heard.
It's said that the carnival in the entire city would last for at least three days, with various kinds of grand parades and celebrations taking place. The Skylink live broadcast broadcast to the entire world would revolve around this grand celebration, displaying to the entire world the superior material life and rich spiritual world of the Federation. This was an all-rounded display, and a mere few hours of the opening ceremony was clearly insufficient. This was another strategy the Federation had come up with.
During the night, the ten-man group from Tianjing Academy held an impromptu internal meeting, with the main goal being to deal with any unexpected situations that might occur. If the first elimination round was truly a survival type or a group mission type test, there was a possibility that the test might suddenly start the moment they arrived at Grozny City.
"This is the geographical location of Grozny City, as well as the distribution of the surrounding environment, as well as the markings of some special locations." said Wang Zhong as he handed the information in his hands to everyone. This was something that he and Scarlet had hastily come up with during their journey back to the hotel. It was extremely rare for genuine experts to be knocked down by accidents. This wasn't due to their strong adaptability, but due to the fact that most of them possessed intelligence, and knew how to make prior preparations. "Everyone, take a good look at this."
"Grozny City is considered to be in the northern region. Although it's not the extreme north, the weather there is extremely cold." Scarlet added on from the side. "There are many regions that are covered in snow and ice that won't melt throughout the year. Furthermore, the radiation in the wilderness is rather severe, with basically no stars or the sun visible. Coupled with the chaotic magnetic field, it's extremely hard to determine one's direction in that region."
"Other than that, there are 5 large scale dimensional restricted areas around Grozny City. Of those, 2 are A rank restricted areas, while 3 are B rank restricted areas. Within the core safe regions of the five cities, there are the most mutated beasts present there."
"If a survival mission appears in the vicinity of this region, the best method of action would be to find the railway tracks and advance along them. After all, this is the core region of the five cities. Therefore, the vicinity of the railway tracks is an absolutely safe area. Everyone, please pay special attention to the distribution and location of the railway tracks when looking at the map. If there's a situation where you get separated from the main group, finding the railway tracks would be the safest method of survival."
Everyone listened attentively and watched. The person with the most experience in this aspect might be Grai. After all, he had just gone to the northern regions for a "strenuous tour". Therefore, he was rather familiar with the geography around Grozny City. While everyone was looking at the map, he made some special markings on the map based on his own understanding, before explaining them to everyone.
Once again, Barran felt a slight headache coming on. Things like rote memorization were the most difficult for him. Beside him, Emily had remained extremely quiet, appearing rather focused from the start to the end.
Ever since the Grozny Family's training, the little lass had become exceedingly quiet, and was no longer as lively and chatty as before. Regardless of Wang Zhong, Ma Dong, or anyone else in the squadron, all of them were able to feel the change in the little lass's character. However, with the CHF approaching, everyone was unable to converse and chat.
Early in the morning of the second day, before the sky had even lit up, the various great squadrons had already started their journey. There were a total of 13 squadrons staying in the hotel, which were split into the Grozny City Competition Zone. Sitting on the same railway tracks, they had already arrived at the designated gathering station.
A sea of people had already gathered here, as the hundred over squadrons that had been allocated to the Grozny City Competition Zone had already gathered here. Just based on the number of people present, there were over a thousand of them. The majority of them had formed their own small groups based in the same hotel as the Lightning Dragon Academy, with 11 squadrons having joined their so-called alliance. The majority of them were squadrons that had been allocated to the same hotel, with 3 squadrons having joined due to their friendship. With over a hundred people present, they were considerably eye-catching within the crowd.
