The original owner didn't know much about competitive survival shows. Rong Mi relied on his own experience to make judgments and didn't think there was anything wrong with the Zerg appearing in the survival show.

After all, in the nomadic era, every starship and every person could be attacked by the Zerg, and there was no such thing as a safe zone in a war zone.

According to Rong Mi's common sense, he felt that since this show was called a competitive survival show, it was very normal for the Zerg to appear in the wasteland.

Rong Mi simply looked at his resource panel, feeling very distressed.

When participating in the competition, all contestants are allowed to bring a space button with a capacity of less than one cubic meter.

The original owner was very particular about food and clothing. Although he lowered his living standards when he borrowed money from here and there, but not by much. That did not change when he came to participate in this survival show.

One cubic meter of space is almost completely occupied by various types of clothing. There was also a small corner containing several bottles of luxury nutritional solutions that were expensive, and tasted good but were not very filling.

The original person evidently had little concept of surviving a week in the wilderness.

In such a harsh planet environment, mecha battles are required from time to time, and players have a high demand for energy intake. These nutritional solutions seemed to be enough rations for a week, but they were all eaten in three days.

The original owner had been hungry for several days, and the tube of nutrient solution he ate last night was provided by the mecha master who Rong Mi suspected had ulterior motives.

The energy supply from the tube of nutrient solution was not sufficient, and Rong Mi was already a little hungry.

But what's more troublesome than this is...the original body doesn't carry enough mecha energy.

In addition to the energy refill that the competition mecha originally came with, the original owner did not bring any extra energy blocks.

Rong Mi took a look at the mecha's energy storage. The original person hasn't driven much of the mecha these days, so he still has two-thirds of his energy storage left. It may seem like a lot, but the energy storage room of this model of mecha is not very large, and it can only support half a day when running at full power.

Of course, if you just ask the mecha to be used as a tent as the original body did, it can still be used for a month.

Rong Mi was speechless and choked.

Need to find some energy to supplement.

In this kind of wild planet, it is impossible to have artificially processed compressed energy blocks. High-purity energy crystals may be available, but they are difficult to find, and they are usually deep in the soil and rock walls, making it difficult to dig with mechas.

There is another way out...that is to rely on robbery.

For example, some mechas who treat him as a soft persimmon and are ready to make a sneak attack.

Rong Mi raised his head.

It was just an ordinary action, like watching the sky.

High up on top of the cliffs above, snowflakes were tumbling down, which were caught by the mountain gale and drifted along with the wind.

And there is a gray-black shadow, covered by the falling snow, the figure is faint, gently jumping down from above——

Its body is very light and its control over the mecha is excellent.

The mecha's propeller has been turned down to a minimum by the pilot, which only slightly reduces the mecha's falling speed.

The low hum of the engine was almost obscured by the sound of the storm, and the mecha's energy wave was almost offset by the pilot's mental wave. And the direction in which he fell should have been in Rong Mi's blind spot.

But everything is nothing but almost.

Rong Mi is always 100% vigilant when entering unfamiliar areas. So he noticed this mecha when he found this sheltered spot.

The snow was not that heavy at that time, and the mecha's body was not completely covered. Although the gray paint was almost the same as the black of the mountain wall, Rong Mi was still keenly aware of its existence.

Once he pays special attention, any tiny movement by the other party can’t escape Rong Mi's eyes.

This mecha was motionless while taking shelter from the blizzard at first, so Rong Mi judged the environment as safe for the time being. But just as Rong Mi was thinking about his current situation, the mecha began to slowly approach him.

Like a hunter in hunting mode.

When he sees the prey that has crashed into the trap, he approaches cautiously, waits until he is at a suitable distance, and then shows his sharp claws, hoping to kill him with one blow——

The gray-black mecha fell lightly and without attracting anyone's attention, it changed posture in mid-air.

As the distance between the attacker and Rong Mi's mecha narrowed, the abdominal deck of the attacker's mecha pushed open to both sides, revealing a self-modified particle cannon at an arm's length in the center.

The roar of high-power weapons sounded instantly, like a death reminder.

At the same time, Rong Mi raised his head.

It was not an afterthought reaction after hearing the roar of the weapon, but a premonition, and he raised his head upwards.

The mechanical features of Rong Mi's mecha were bathed in the bright white light emitted by the charged particle cannon.

The young man sighed softly, looked at the falling mecha above, and said regretfully: "It's too slow——"

The next second, Rong Mi moved.

The propeller under Rong Mi's feet was running at maximum power, creating a large snow shower in the surrounding area.

After unloading nearly half of its weight, the surprisingly fast mecha jumped into the air and lifted its knees to the top——

His acceleration was astonishingly high. Once the thrusters opened up underneath his knees, the force of lifting his knees and the resulting collision was unimaginable!

Naturally, Rong Mi couldn't collide head-on with the opponent's mecha's protective plate.

The place he hit was naturally the attacker's particle cannon launch port.

Just when the particle cannon had reached its energy requirement, the outer shield of the launching port was raised, but the particle energy pulse had not yet been shot.

Within a fraction of a millisecond the human brain cannot calculate.

"Bang!——"

The particle generator, which was made of brittle metal, resistant to high temperatures but had low hardness, was shattered into pieces in the violent collision.

"puff--"

Sparks flickered, and the internal circuitry of the particle cannon exploded, opening a small gap in the lower abdomen of the mecha.

"Bang!!"

There was another loud noise. The attacker's entire mecha was thrown out by Rong Mi with great force and was slammed backward into the mountain wall behind. Rong Mi took advantage of the force of the collision and retreated to the ground. He stabilized his body with one knee on the snow, and the laser blade in his hand lit up.

The indicator light slots on the mecha's arms symbolizing mental assistance also lit at the same time.

There was a narrow flash of light in the blizzard, and the laser blade infused with mental power was thrown outward by Rong Mi like a dart, spinning and accurately inserted into the incision on the lower abdomen of the mecha.

With the blessing of mental power, the laser blade cuts inwards like tofu to break through the tougher armor of the mecha, cutting off the energy supply lines hidden deep inside.
Even the inner outer protective shell of the cockpit, which has the strongest protective design of the entire mecha, was left with a deep mark on it.

"hiss--!"

At this moment, the commentators and viewers, who watched the battle through the attacker's live broadcast perspective, gasped just like the attacker himself in the cab.

"Holy shit, holy shit, I heard that Rong Mi can fly a mecha! I rushed to spam...... but what's going on here?!”

New viewers who entered Rong Mi's live broadcast room asked confused questions.

"Times have changed, classmate." Someone below replied to him, “Still spitting at Rong Mi, just take a look at Lone Young's mecha! Gu Shao's mecha was scrapped in one go! The cockpit was almost pierced through?!”

The main power supply line of the attacker's mecha was cut off by Rong Mi, and it had become an iron shell that was difficult to move, allowing anyone to slaughter it.

Rong Mi stood up from the ground. He stepped forward in two steps, with calm movements. First, he reached out to retrieve his laser blade and inserted it back into the weapon slot in his palm.

Then he stepped on the shoulder of the attacker's mecha. The wrist thrusters of both hands were fully charged. With the help of mental power, he used his left and right hands together. Using the strength to break the armor deck downwards - the audience comment area: "???"

The arm guard of the mecha was opened from the center like a crab shell, revealing the laser gun embedded underneath.

Rong Mi reached out and took off the laser gun of the attacker's mecha and put it on his shoulder.

Immediately afterward, he kicked open the side shield of the attacker's mecha and took out the opponent's energy storage compartment with his bare hands,  but his movement abruptly stalled.

Rong Mi frowned slightly.

He vaguely caught a hint of movement in the wind.

From the ice fields outside the mountains, there were waves of rustling and flapping sounds like waves.

It's an ice butterfly.

A large number of ice butterflies.

They seemed to follow whatever scent was blown down from the gale, and made their way upwind, heading straight for the outer layer of the mountain range where Rong Mi was.

In just a few seconds, they had already approached several star miles.

Rong Mi: If you are short of points, Ice Butterflies will come to give them to you. But there is no need to be so polite, this gift is too much!

It's not like Rong Mi has never killed such a large group of ice butterflies. However, with this number, the main ship usually dispatches a three-person mecha squad instead of letting a mecha master fight alone.

Rong Mi sighed softly, thinking that he would have to destroy the Ice Butterflies first and then cripple the mecha.

But time cannot be turned back. Rong Mi only paused for a split second before continuing what he had just done, receiving the remaining energy blocks in the energy pods of the attacker's mech into his spatial button, and randomly opened his mouth, “The energy tanks and nutrient solution in the spatial button. Lend them to me.”

The mecha's sound transmission device faithfully transmitted the young man's clear voice to the attacker's ears.

Contestant Gu Ming, known as Gu Shao, and the audience were speechless for a moment.

That's quite polite as if you borrow it, you'll pay it back!

However, he only cursed in his heart, and then immediately took out all the supplies from the space button.

Gu Ming was still a little absent-minded.

He is a special mecha master of the famous Tianqin Mecha Club in the Federation.

This is Gu Ming's tenth year as a professional mecha master. He usually played matches when there were tournaments, and when there weren't tournaments, he went to the barren planets to do exploration work to earn some spare change.

This is also his fifth year competing in competitive survival shows.

In the ten years of driving mechas, it was not that he had not experienced danger, nor had he not been defeated by others.

It was just the first time that he had been so quick... even before he could think of a way to deal with it in his mind, his opponent had cleanly... destroyed his mecha.

The opponent's movements seem very simple, but every change of direction and the connection between every move are dazzlingly fast and almost perfect.

Gu Ming was stunned by Rong Mi's series of operations!

Not only did he take out all his supplies, but he also took out his points chip and planned to give it to Rong Mi altogether.

The mecha was severely damaged and it was impossible for him to complete the rest of the game.

What's more, in the few battles just now, Gu Ming could see that Rong Mi didn't try his best at all, nor did he rely on his advantage to kill everyone like some unscrupulous players.

Gu Ming accepted his loss wholeheartedly.

However, Rong Mi didn't pay attention to Gu Ming's move.

He was checking the quality of the energy blocks and nutrient solution that Gu Ming handed over.

High-power compressed energy blocks and high-energy nutrient solutions, looked professional at first glance!

Rong Mi was very satisfied. He took out all the clothes he had prepared and threw them on the snow, then modified Gu Ming's energy blocks and nutrient solution. Then he said, "Do you have any carry-on weapons?"

Gu Ming said oh oh twice and quickly turned the space button again.

"There are some." He nodded like a mince, and took it out as he spoke, "I carry a portable particle gun, a heavy particle gun, a hand-held laser knife..."

Rong Mi smiled.

"I'm not trying to snatch it from you, just keep it for yourself." He turned back and looked outside the mountain range with the help of his mental power and the mecha's scanning device. He speculated on the ice butterfly's arrival time and said, “Hide somewhere else and wait for rescue, don't stay here.”

Without mechas, humans would be too vulnerable to the ice butterflies.

As he spoke, he set up his laser gun next to the boulder.

Gu Ming: "?"

Everyone in the live broadcast room: "...?"

"Uh... is he claiming territory?" the audience asked in confusion, "What good things are there?"

"It doesn't look like it. I think there are attackers in the distance." Someone speculated, "Rong Mi noticed that another person was coming and planned to fight, so he cleared the area early?"

"But from the perspective of Gu Shao's live broadcast room, there is nothing in the distance?"

"What can the camera see? It must be the more sensitive mental power that detects the abnormal movement first!"

"But I don't think Gu Shao noticed anything around him."

"Uh...should I say that Gu Shao's mental power level is A-, but looking at the way Rong Mi just grabbed his mecha and tore open the shield a few times. Rong Mi's mental power level...not to mention that he is an A+, it has to be S, right? So it’s normal to be able to see enemies that Gu Shao can’t see!”

Other viewers: "..."

"Forget it, A+, S is too exaggerated! There are twenty residential main stars in the Federation, dozens of military stars in the outer battle zone and fortress area, and among billions of people, there are not more than a hundred S-level psychics, right?"

"If Rong Mi is an S-level psychic, why is he living his life as a D-level healer!? If he wasn't a therapist, he would have been famous all over the Federation as a mecha master!”

"This classmate upstairs, please watch the video of Rong Mi's game just now... Who knows what he is thinking! Maybe it's family pressure that doesn't allow him to become a mecha master?!"

The discussion in the comment area of ​​the live broadcast room was heated, but in the competition area, Gu Ming didn't have so many ideas.

He only knew that Rong Mi must be a big shot. Although I don’t know why I have to leave, I must listen to what the boss says!

"Boss—" He turned around and was about to leave, but then he remembered that the points chip hadn't been given to Rong Mi yet.

Gu Ming: Is this the momentum of a big boss? The boss's points should be far ahead, and he doesn't care about other players' points at all!

While thinking this, he climbed out of the cockpit. After hesitating for a moment, he still stood on the mecha wreckage and shouted in the blizzard: "Boss - I have no use for keeping this point chip! It's better to give it to you--”

The wind was too strong and the voices were too quiet, so Rong Mi couldn't quite hear what the other party was saying. But he noticed the movement behind him and tilted his head.

The distance between the two was not far apart.

Seeing him turn around, Gu Ming simply used the force of the wind to throw the chip forward.

“Get the points!——Ah————”

Rong Mi still didn't hear what Gu Ming was saying, but he casually caught the chip thrown by the other party and immediately realized that it was the score-recording chip of the game.

He was just thinking about how to deal with the huge swarm of ice butterflies coming soon by himself, but he forgot about it.

Rong Mi smiled and made a sincere gesture of thanks to Gu Ming.

"...What do you mean?" Some viewers didn't understand, "What is Rong Mi's gesture?"

"It's a universal hand signal of thanks for mecha masters. Don't tell me, Rong Mi is pretty cool when he does this!"

"Hey, Young Master Gu is leaving now? I'm actually very curious about what Rong Mi will do next."

Gu Ming knew nothing about the ice butterfly approaching rapidly in the distance.

There was a lot of wind and snow outside, and he couldn't leave the mountains. So he pressed the distress button and walked along the mountain wall toward the interior of the mountain.

After turning a sharp bend, the path along the cliff was cut off.

Rolling snow cascades down from the heights of the mountain peaks, like broad waterfalls. If he takes one more step forward, he will be carried by the snow current and smashed into the cliff.

Gu Ming could only turn around and go back.

Within a few minutes of going back and forth, Rong Mi had already set up the gun.

He noticed Gu Ming turning around and realized that the road ahead might be cut off.

The Ice Butterflies are approaching quickly and will soon enter his shooting range.

Rong Mi didn't have time to talk to Gu Ming, so he made a gesture to hide on the spot without looking back, then squatted down and glanced at the scope.

Then he raised his head, looked past the laser gun, and squinted into the distance.

The long-distance sight in the mecha's cockpit lagged far behind in capturing the Ice Butterfly's rapid movements and could only be used as an auxiliary.

Real aiming relies on mental "vision".

Rong Mi is very familiar with this kind of situation.

Every movement he made was smooth and flowing, and his breathing was natural.

He adjusted the shooting angle and already thought about the direction of the second and third shots before firing the first.

Rong Mi's finger pressed on the trigger.

He was in a kneeling shooting position, with his elbows pressed against the solid stone.

With a slight hook, the muzzle of the laser gun was raised slightly, shooting a bright line in the void filled with snowflakes.

The calculated shooting angle resists the possible deflection of the particle flow caused by strong winds.

That bright line passed straight through the storm-torn snowfield, as easily as if there was an auxiliary connection with the target in an elementary shooting game... without any deviation, it hit a rapidly approaching Ice butterfly.

"puff."

The Ice Butterfly's abdomen was pierced by the laser gun and it fell.

Gu Ming was currently hiding in the angle between the remains of his mecha and the mountain wall.

He still didn't see the butterfly group in the distance, and the live broadcast room couldn't include the ice butterflies in the distance within the broadcast range, making the audience anxious.

"What are you doing!? Who can tell me? What is Rong Mi doing!"

"There must be an attacker! ... He is very mentally strong. I can see that Gu Shao still has a confused look on his face. He obviously didn't see anything."

"Where's the commentator? Does the commentator know what's going on outside?!"

Commentary: "..."

Of course, the commentator knows.

"...Brother Fen." The commentator avoided the microphone and called the live broadcast assistant on the sidelines.

He cleared his throat, raised his head towards the live broadcast screen in the competition venue, and asked the live broadcast assistant to look at the picture above.

To bring a better experience to the audience, the program team has buried environmental simulation cameras throughout the planet in advance. At this moment, several cameras captured the transparent Frost-colored butterfly wings flashing through the violent snowstorm, and the bright red body in the center of the butterfly wings.

In many of the cameras, large numbers of ice butterflies are seen climbing up from cracks beneath the snowfields. They came to the ground, crossed the snowfield, and moved in one direction.

The appearance of a large number of Ice Butterflies made his legs tremble.

"Brother Fen!" The commentator's face looked like he was about to cry, "Has the director's call been answered... This can't be an interactive holographic projection! Where can I find a projector that can cover such a large snowfield!"

Live broadcast assistant: "...!!"

The live broadcast assistant was stunned.

"Director...director!" The communication he dialed finally got a response.

Brother Fen was horrified and shouted, "Director! Director Zhang! Have you watched the live broadcast of the game? It seems something serious has happened! Should we suspend the game and call the police..."

"Click."

The security robot set up at the entrance of the live broadcast room turned its wheel and suddenly turned around, and the red button symbolizing the activation of the laser gun above its head lit up.

"Don't panic." The director replied with a smile. At the same time, the laser gun on the head of the security robot was aimed at the live broadcast assistant and commentator.

"If you want to stay alive, don't mention stopping the game or calling the police."

"Commentator, steady your voice, don't tremble so much that others can tell."

"Otherwise, never open your mouth again."
