Chapter 180: 180

Chapter 180 

 

The viewers in the live broadcast room were all so shocked at the appearance of the mother zerg that they didn't know what expression to put on their faces. They couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in the Academy Mecha Competition!

But the two teams on the map were calm. Lu Chen already knew what was going to happen, and Cheng Yi had already guessed it. He was now just verifying his suspicions.

As for An Yan, he didn't know anything about the zerg race, let alone the existence of the mother zerg. So naturally, he wasn't too shocked.

An Yan was actually very curious about this sudden ball of light: "Senior, did you see that ball of light? What is that thing?"

Cheng Yi was watching the situation of the mother zerg and Lu Chen's reaction when he heard An Yan's question. He only answered briefly, "This is the mother zerg of the zerg race. The mother zerg’s spiritual attack is very strong, but its body is very weak. It can’t withstand even a physical attack from an ordinary mecha."

An Yan nodded, "So what do we do now? Are we going to fight this mother zerg?"

The viewers in the live broadcast room were immediately anxious when they heard An Yan’s words.

Viewer 1: An Yan, calm down! I know you don't know much about mother zerg, but don't be impulsive. This is a mother zerg! One spiritual attack can easily destroy a whole battalion!

Viewer  2:

I blame Cheng Yi's tone of voice for making An Yan think that this isn't a great opponent!

Viewer 3: So why don't you guys run away now that the mother zerg has appeared? It will be too late if you don't run!

Viewer 4: Why on earth would the competition organizers put such a horrible presence on the map?

Viewer 5: I'm afraid to continue watching the live stream. Are they going to be okay?

......... 

Although everyone knew that the mother zerg that appeared on the competition map couldn't be real, they were still sweating and couldn't help but worry about Cheng Yi and An Yan.

Compared to the tense atmosphere in the broadcast room, the two teams on the field acted very calmly, as if they hadn't even noticed the mother zerg’s appearance.

Of course, it only seemed to be very calm.

Lu Chen's eyes were fixed on the mecha not far from him, clenching his fists and silently urging in his mind.

There was no way that Cheng Yi did not recognize that this was the mother zerg of the zerg race, so why hadn't he acted yet? How could he not act yet?

Whether he quickly ran away in panic or immediately attacked with the thought of showing, either reaction was better than not moving at all!

Lu Chen was anxious because he already knew this mother zerg setting in advance.

This mother zerg did not look any different from the real one, but it was nothing more than an artificial object simulated by humans. It would not pose a real threat to the contestants.

Therefore, the appearance of this fake mother zerg was only to check whether the contestants were calm enough, whether they had enough courage to face the mother zerg, and whether they could react quickly with their ability to adapt to the situation.

In this case, Cheng Yi would see this clue as long as he remained calm, and his plan would have been foiled.

That was why Lu Chen was so anxious.

But even if he was anxious, he couldn't react on Cheng Yi's behalf and he could only anxiously urge him on in his heart.

However, such urging did not help, as Lu Chen soon realized that his plan was doomed to fail. Cheng Yi stood still, with no sign of escape or intention to attack.

Lu Chen's gaze gradually filled with gloom, but there was nothing he could do about it. After a moment of contemplation, he could only helplessly make a choice.

Since Cheng Yi did not intend to make a move, he would have to be the one to start the action.

His original plan was to wait for Cheng Yi to make a fool of himself, and then make a move afterwards. His previous humiliation would be forgotten as he’d have reversed everyone's perception of him.

But it seemed that this plan was going to fail.

Cheng Yi must have got the clues when he saw that he didn’t react. And that's why he deliberately did not do anything.

This guy was indeed much more cunning than he had imagined! Lu Chen thought angrily in his heart.

However, his guess was wrong.

Cheng Yi did not take any action not because he was watching Lu Chen, but because he was watching the situation on the side of the mother zerg.

Cheng Yi had not seen the real mother zerg before, but he had studied it carefully through video material. The same was true for the male zergs.

Cheng Yi had carefully observed them, and the zergs that appeared on this map were not different from the real zergs in terms of their form, their way of attacking, and their state of mind after death.

However, Cheng Yi did not think much of it before. After all, it was a realistic simulation map provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and it was not too surprising that it could achieve nearly 100% realism.

It was only when this mother zerg appeared that Cheng Yi felt uneasy and had doubts.

If this was just a result of a simulation by the Ministry of Military Affairs, would these zergs have reacted so quickly, sensitively, and realistically?

The moment the mother zerg appeared, the zergs that kept attacking the two mechas instantly moved towards the mother zerg and quickly formed an impermeable protective circle around it.

This instinctive reaction, which seemed to be engraved in his bones, led Cheng Yi to make a bad guess in his heart.

But on the other hand, it was impossible for real zergs to appear since this was a map used for the Academy Mecha Competition. The participants of the competition were just students from higher education institutions.

These two ideas were contradictory in themselves.

Cheng Yi decided to observe for a while longer when he saw Lu Chen not far away, already taking action.

The black mecha slowly rose to mid-air and slowly approached the mother zerg that was surrounded by the other zergs.

However, as soon as he started moving, some of the zergs immediately attacked him, not intending to give the other side a chance to get close to the mother zerg.

The zerg’s attack was much fiercer before, and it carried an unexplainable determination.

Lu Chen was startled by their fierceness and a thought flashed in his heart. But he had no time to think about it at that moment, so he directly launched a counter-attack.

His counter-attack was not aimed at the zergs that attacked him but at the mother zerg.

However, this directly angered all the zergs. Except for those surrounding the mother zerg to protect it, all the other zergs hissed and rushed forward.

Lu Chen's mecha was already highly damaged, and he was in a dilemma as he faced the swarm of fierce zergs. He could only ask Cheng Yi for help through the communication. "Why are you still standing there? Come and help! "

Although Cheng Yi answered the communication request, his attitude was very cold and his tone was very serious: "I suggest you back off now and do not attack the mother zerg again."

Lu Chen thought that Cheng Yi was afraid and snorted, "It's just a mother zerg, what's there to be afraid of? You’re too timid, aren't you? "

With that, Lu Chen fired another miniature laser cannon in the direction of the mother zerg, but this laser cannon was consumed by several zergs that came forward to die before it could get close to the mother zerg.

Cheng Yi didn't talk to Lu Chen any more, and directly activated the alarm inside the mecha, sending a message to the competition officials, "A mother zerg is suspected to have appeared on the competition map. Please investigate immediately."

Lu Chen was stunned to hear this, then he sneered and said, "How dare you ask the competition to investigate? You don't think this mother zerg is a real one, do you? I really didn't see this coming. I didn't expect you to be a coward! "

Not only was Lu Chen unable to understand Cheng Yi's action, but even the other viewers in the live stream were having a hard time understanding it.

Viewer 1: What is boss Cheng Yi doing? Although this mother zerg looks quite scary, it must be a fake ah, otherwise how could it appear on this map?

Viewer  2: I ...... don't know why boss Cheng Yi is doing this? Does he mean that these zergs and the mother zerg could be real?

Viewer 3: That can't be right. This map was provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs for the Academy Mecha Competition. There's no way it could have been taken out and used if it was really dangerous.

Viewer 4: Although I also think what Bboss Cheng Yi did was a bit outside of my expectations, I'm still willing to trust his judgment since it’s his choice!

Viewer 5: If what he says is true, I simply can't imagine what will happen next! They are not even 10km away from the mother zerg right now, and if... I can't dare to think any further!

Viewer 6: I'd rather hope it's a mistake in judgment than to know that the two bosses are in such great danger! At least then they'd both be safe!

......

Cheng Yi was unaware of the viewers' concerns in the live stream and paid no attention to Lu Chen on the competition map. He just patiently waited for the response from the competition officials.

The competition organizers immediately conducted a quick discussion and quickly gave a response: "The organizing will immediately conduct an information scan of this map.  Contestants should please stay away from the danger source immediately. This scan is expected to take five seconds."

As this was a message from the organizers, all participants on the map would receive this message at the same time.

Lu Chen saw the message and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. "Tch, the organizers actually started the scan. I just don't know if you can continue to be so high and mighty when the scan results come out and....."

However, before Lu Chen could finish his words, he was interrupted by an ear-splitting alarm sound.

"Alert! The presence of male zergs and a mother zerg has been detected on the map. Please evacuate the area immediately! The organizers will immediately dispatch a rescue team immediately! "

This important alert message was played three times in a row before it stopped temporarily. Lu Chen was already showing a dumbfounded expression at this moment.

This... how is this possible?

These zergs were obviously fake, even the mother zerg is a simulation made by humans, so how could they be real?!
