53: Chapter 53: A Hundred Ugly Antics
“The ergency exit’s concealed manual override switch, if we encounter any ergency situation before we reach Earth Fla Star, we’ll be able to manually open it!”
Su Ming explained, when suddenly he noticed an anomaly in the tal wall, and he slightly pressed it with his cha.
Instantly, a cover popped open on the tal wall, revealing a manual tal lever.
“You know about this too?”
Lin Chuyu looked towards Su Ming in surprize, knowing that the school certainly didn’t teach this.
“I have so understanding of it!”
Su Ming also felt sowhat relieved that the original owner of his body was a military enthusiast, and he had read information about this aspect.
Although his brain didn’t work well, ‘Su Ming’s’ brain was efficient, and he rembered it after going over it once.
“Hmph, no need for such trouble, when there’s a need, the people in the command room will naturally open the exit.”
Li Fubai, who also controlled a cha, walked over and said.
Su Ming glanced at Li Fubai but ignored him.
At this mont, Zhao Ran and Chen Tong, having grabbed their weapons and reloaded their ammunition, ca over slowly.
“Su Ming, we’re here!”
“Alright, we’ll wait here.”
Su Ming said to the two of them.
Just then, the entire spaceship was attacked again, violently shaking, and its massive hull tilted dramatically.
Bang~
Zhao Ran and Chen Tong’s chas suddenly fell to the ground.
Su Ming input instructions at lightning speed and pulled the control stick, and his entire cha narrowly stabilized.
However, Lin Chuyu failed to stabilize her cha, which began to topple toward Su Ming.
Seeing this, Su Ming quickly reached out and steadied her cha.
Lin Chuyu hurriedly repositioned her cha to stand firm and thanked him.
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank .”
Su Ming replied indifferently.
“Chuyu, stand over here, I can support you.”
Li Fubai took a deep breath, suppressing the displeasure in his heart, and spoke to Lin Chuyu with concern.
“No need, I can do it myself.”
Lin Chuyu refused Li Fubai’s kind offer.
At this ti, Zhao Ran and the others clumsily climbed up from the ground, irritatedly complaining.
“What the hell are the idiots in the cockpit doing with the controls?
Why does the spaceship keep getting hit?”
“Unsure, but it’s best not to place our hopes on them.”
…
In the control room at that mont, a flurry of command division students were at the brink of terror, frantically entering their own commands.
“Dodge to the left!”
“To what left, we should be moving to the right!”
“Which idiot lowered the power output?
We should be charging through all at once.”
“Are you blind?
Didn’t you see that the radar is full of red dots?
And that the optical display screen is littered with enemy fire?”
“I can’t bear to look at the optical screen images; they’re too scary.”
…
None of the command division students dared to look at the live situation outside.
Just then, directly in front of them, a ripple suddenly spread through the empty cosmos.
Following that, the camouflage color vanished, and a series of Triangular Crystals floated into view.
Behind the protection of these Triangular Crystals lay a series of grey tal bastions in X-shapes, and a multitude of rhomboid tal cubes surfaced, forming a defensive network.
Swoosh!
The X-shaped bastions instantly disassembled, releasing a dense swarm of arrow-shaped XK-01 type tal defense machines.
Imdiately after, the centers of those rhomboid tal cubes split into crosses and started glowing!
Whoosh whoosh~
Countless beams of light, the suicide attack XK-01 type tal defense chas, violently assaulted the old Federation fleet.
Boom, boom, boom~
One after another, arriving ships were blasted apart, setting off the most dazzling fireworks in the pitch-black cosmos.
Just then, a battleship painted with the number 135, like a drunken sailor, swayed chaotically and ended up struck by a red beam at its bow!
Boom!
The entire ship tilted towards the nearby vessel marked as number 134.
Inside the command room of ship number 134, groups of cadets in the command program were brawling, fighting each other for control, covered in blood and wounds.
At that mont, soone glanced up inadvertently, only to see the bow of the neighboring ship ablaze with raging flas barreling towards them.
“Stop fighting!
It’s coming our way.”
The cadets who were in the midst of chaos suddenly looked up, their faces revealing utter terror.
“Don’t co over!
Please, no!”
“I don’t want to die!”
“Ah!”
…
Boom, boom~
In an instant, the two ships collided and exploded mightily, scattering debris and shrapnel in all directions, so of which imdiately struck the battleship Su Ming was on.
The battleship’s exterior armor was severely deford over a large area.
The ship vibrated violently, and so cadets who were either maintaining chas or checking ship facilities were thrown off their consoles.
Crash~
Accompanied by blood splattering, they fell to their deaths.
“Ah!”
At this ti, in each examination hall, the indicators on the neural simulation cabins flashed a bright red.
“Ah~”
Student after student scread in utmost horror.
The Imperial Court Sect officers at the scene simply waved their hands indifferently, signaling the waiting dics to take away the cadets who had ‘fallen in battle’.
…
In the central control room of the Fish Pig at the Thirteenth District interstellar military airport.
General As watched the live feed of the battle, looking at each sinking ship.
His resolute face showed a hint of complexity, even moisture at the corner of his eyes as mories kept surging in his mind.
These students were rely experiencing a past battle, after all, it was just a simulation, but he had actually lived through that war.
Although a century had passed, in the quiet of the night, As still sotis woke from nightmares, often dreaming of his fallen comrades, subordinates, and superiors.
At that mont, the virtual screen kept popping up with alerts.
“Number 135 ship has been completely destroyed.”
“Number 134 ship has been completely destroyed.”
…
Xia An watched one red alert after another, her heart also a bit panicked.
Every ship being wiped out ant that the majority of the students in the exam were also wiped out.
Even if there were students who managed to escape using life pods or such, those were very few and far between.
So many students being eliminated ant few points would be scored.
Then, Xia An’s gaze fell on General As.
Seeing that he seed a bit off, she spoke up.
“General, should we lower the difficulty, to avoid it looking too bad?”
“Lower what?
They should be grateful this is just a simulation.
Otherwise, we’d be collecting their corpses now, truly embarrassing themselves.”
General As said coldly.
In fact, everyone’s performance was being recorded, especially inside the cockpits of the various ships.
So of it was truly cringe-worthy; so many were arrogant, self-centered.
So students even went so far as to ensure mutual destruction with their peers, thinking if they couldn’t do well, neither could anyone else.
They had no understanding of what responsibility ant, what it was to bear a burden and work as a team.
Of course, there were also those who cooperated well and worked together.
But if one paid close attention, it would be clear that many of these cooperative groups were students from the various Lower City Districts.
“Yes.”
Xia An sighed softly in response.
