Ji Yanqing was not Li Xiang. She was good at close combat, but in the face of countless mutants, this became a fatal weakness.
The moment she stepped out of the steam armored train, the audience knew the result of this battle. She could have hidden in the captain's office. At least, even if the train was swallowed by the wormhole, she would definitely die after Li Xiang.
Whoever lived to the end would be the winner of this battle.
However, Ji Yanqing did not choose to do so. She had even made her choice the moment she saw the situation in the captain's office without hesitation.
The moment Ji Yanqing was swallowed by the wormhole, Li Xiang's hands were also pressed on the control panel in the captain's office.
He had never seen such a complicated mechanical control platform before, but with the airship control techniques he had learned from Wang Zhongyue, in addition to his outstanding mechanical talents, he was actually able to instantly understand the general operation method of this complicated control platform.
"This guy is a natural Mechanic!" There were many real Mechanics in the VIP seats. Some of them worked for Wessex, some of them were in large families, and some of them were teaching students in universities. However, without exception, all of them were shocked by the amazing talent Li Xiang had displayed.
Only the inner circle of Mechanics understood that the importance of talent could not be replaced after entering their line of work.
No matter how hardworking an apprentice was, without talent, he would not be able to become a master.
Just like most of them, they studied the path of machinery day after day, year after year. However, they were still further and further away from the top of the mountain. Even if they put in more effort than him, it was still not enough.
Therefore, the steam mechanical professors of the various universities would first look at talent when accepting disciples. Every year, Wessex would allocate a large sum of money to invite those mechanical geniuses who had shown their talent to join their training program.
Along the way, it was difficult for Li Xiang not to be famous in terms of mechanical talent. The fact that he could be recognized in Polar Night meant that he was already one of the best among his peers. The shocking learning and exploration ability he had displayed in this battle was the last straw that crushed the hearts of all the masters.
No matter what, I have to pull him into my school. At this moment, the same thought appeared in the minds of countless steam mechanical professors.
Scholars especially valued talented and capable students because to them, research was their lifelong dream. Having a student who could inherit their legacy and even bring it to greater heights was another long-cherished wish.
On the screen, Li Xiang still did not know that his actions had caused such a huge commotion in the mechanical circle. The pale golden gears in his eyes were spinning at high speed. Since this ability could not be hidden from others, he could not hide it anymore.
With the help of the pale golden gears, Li Xiang's Machinery Proficiency rose to an unprecedented level. He quickly grasped the control method and then began to perform complicated operations to slow down and stop the train.
Piloting a steam armored train was the most difficult of all transportation vehicles, not to mention such a huge steel beast.
However, Li Xiang did not panic at all. He calmly slowed down, turned, and steadied the train. According to his estimation, if he stopped in a few dozen seconds, he would not have to rush into the wormhole.
Ji Yanqing, who was drowned by the mutants, did not make a sound. Soon, a large group of mutants rushed out from the wormhole. If this continued, the mutants would rush into the carriage before the train stopped.
Li Xiang looked at the windshield in front of him and suddenly pressed the alloy boxes on both sides. Two thick jets of steam shot out, and he flew out of the conductor's room and into the air.
Clang!
A ferocious mutant slammed into the metal track above in the process of flying. The track made a dull sound, and its body was broken in two. It fell from the air with blood dripping from it.
Li Xiang held the Tracker tightly in both hands and used the momentum of the steam-powered gear to cut these mutants like cutting melons and vegetables. He did not know if it was because the Goddess of Calamity had reduced the difficulty of the mission, but at least until now, he had not encountered any powerful mutants.
Among the mutants, the borderline mutants were the most dangerous. Even a Level-1 Magician could be killed in an instant. Naturally, he was no match for them.
However, there were so many mutants, and all of them were small fries. There was not a single borderline mutant.
His charge stopped the mutants who tried to rush over, and in front of him, the wormhole faintly showed signs of closing. Seeing this, Li Xiang gritted his teeth and flew straight into the wormhole.
"What is he doing?" The beautiful young woman and Yue Xingling in her arms could not understand Li Xiang's operation. He had blocked all that he could, and the train had begun to slow down. The wormhole was also shrinking. At this time, retreating into the conductor's room should be the safest way to win.
As for whether he could complete the mission, it depended on whether the train could stop in time and how fast the wormhole shrank.
However, if he rushed over now, he would undoubtedly be courting death.
"I'm afraid he's going to save that girl." Guss suppressed the shock in his heart that he had not felt in a long time and speculated word by word, "The cooperative competition is not over, which means that both of them are still alive."
"Is he crazy? That's a wormhole. In the past, when such things appeared at the border, the entire army would immediately retreat to the safe zone. Is he going to rush in alone? "
Yue Xingling nodded. "I've never heard of anyone who would take the initiative to rush into a wormhole."
"I've heard of one." Guss took a big gulp of water. He had to admit that this little girl's courage had exceeded his imagination. If it were him, he would not have any thoughts of rushing into the wormhole.
Even if this was just a simulation battle, it would be the same.
That fear would still be deeply rooted in the bottom of his heart.
Why was the information about mutants and disasters completely blocked? Why did the livestream simulation battle have to be blurred and censored?
It was because those things were too maddening and could drive people crazy. They could not withstand the impact of negative emotions. As a result, they would either become stupid or crazy.
Not to mention facing a nest like a wormhole directly.
However, in his memory, there was such a person who had done it and returned alive.
At this point, he had embarked on a path of invincibility that could sweep across generations.
"Who is it, Dad? Don't lie to me. That's a wormhole, the nest of disasters is inside!" Yue Xingling was skeptical, but when Guss softly said the name, she and Yue Mei both believed him.
"The current White King."
On the light screen.
Li Xiang's figure disappeared into the wormhole that had shrunk to the size of a train.
At this speed, the wormhole would have disappeared by the time the steam armored locomotive arrived.
As soon as he rushed into the wormhole, Li Xiang felt as if all the light had been stripped away.
It was filled with a disgusting smell and negative emotions that made people desperate and crazy.
The various mutants that were squirming non-stop were all over the wormhole, causing people's SAN to drop rapidly. They would probably lose their minds and die within a few minutes.
Boom!
The sonic boom of the friction between the fist and the air was constantly heard.
Ji Yanqing, who was covered in blood and didn't look like a human, was still fighting. Her khaki uniform was completely torn, and the black bandages on her body had all fallen off, revealing a young girl's body full of vitality. However, the dense ancient martial arts marks on her body made people's scalp tingle.
There were marks on every inch of her skin. It was no wonder that she usually covered it with black bandages. For a girl, these marks completely destroyed the beauty of her body.
The live broadcast naturally gave a huge blur, but the audience still understood that Ji Yanqing, who had stayed in the wormhole for so long, probably didn't look like a human anymore.
At this moment, countless people had replaced the sexy poster of the Venus Group with her determined fighting image.
"What are you doing … Come."
Ji Yanqing looked up, and the blood made Li Xiang speechless.
"I can't die here. One day, I will kill all the tarot card people before I can go to hell." Ji Yanqing looked at him proudly and suddenly threw two black things.
The sound of metal was extremely crisp and heavy to the hand.
It was her alloy box. There was still a lot of gas in it, and she deliberately left it for Li Xiang to get out.
"Get lost." Ji Yanqing quietly spat out a word. Her eyes were scarlet, which was a sign that her consciousness had been corroded by negative emotions. At this moment, she was completely immersed in the role and felt that all of this was real.
In such a situation, she, who was carrying a blood feud, had lost her consciousness and fought numbly. However, she didn't hesitate to give the opportunity to leave to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang felt a sense of admiration for this girl for the first time.
Some people said that hatred made people strong, but in fact, hatred would also make people cherish any important feelings around them more than anyone else.
Most of the audience couldn't see the two's encounter and conversation in the wormhole. All they could see was the speeding motorcycle that was about to come to a stop, as well as the blood-red sky and track. It really looked like the end of the world that they were about to experience.
Boom!
After a loud noise, the wormhole completely closed, and the motorcycle came to an abrupt stop a few meters in front of the wormhole.
A black silhouette shot out from inside, carrying two steam-powered devices.
At that moment, there were no cheers or sounds.
The dead silence was terrifying.
[The guardians have completed their mission, but this cart of tinder will eventually reach a certain point, and at this point, will there be greater despair waiting for them?]
His consciousness blurred, and Li Xiang was forcefully ejected from the spatial door.
It was just a battle, but it felt as long as a lifetime.
Returning to the beam of light, his beam of light was a little thicker, and the surrounding beams of light suddenly decreased. The top 30 were about to be decided.
But Li Xiang's mind was filled with Ji Yanqing's last battle posture.
The guardians, the grudge between the two, the last tinder of humanity …
Were these things really just a fictional background of the Goddess of Calamity?
After a long time, the audience gradually burst into applause, and then the applause became louder and louder, gradually spreading to all levels of the stands.
This was the most exciting battle of all the 60 to 30 matches.
Not only did it let the audience see the strength of this group of trial-takers, but it also let them see the horror of mutants for the first time.
For hundreds of years, the human camp had been fighting a bloody battle with such enemies. Even if they were constantly being suppressed and nibbled away, they still stubbornly survived.
.....
City 0982.
In a cheap machine shop.
Old Ghost was eating melon seeds and drinking wine, quietly watching Li Xiang on the screen. Beside him, a short old man was swinging his iron fist with all his might, punching a piece of hot steel. As his fist fell, the steel kept making strange crisp sounds.
"Hey, Old Ghost, did your disciple win?"
"He won. Remember what you said, get him a real cold weapon made of Origin Substance."
"Tsk, that will have to wait until he really gets into the top 16. Isn't there another battle? Speaking of which, it's rare to see you so concerned about a disciple. Is he really that powerful? "
"What do you think? But speaking of which, the Goddess of Calamity actually showed the mutants to ordinary people without any scruples when simulating the environment."
The sound of hammering suddenly stopped.
"This is the first time."
"Yes, the first time. It seems that our good days are coming to an end. "
The short white-haired old man wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he ran over, the screen had already switched to a new battle. He took a big gulp of wine and sat down on a chair, panting. Under the dim light, neither of the two old men dared to speak loudly.
After a long time, Old Ghost slowly lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Yes, the world is going to change."
