Who in their right mind would place the academy bonus point button here?
Twelve people were pointing their guns at the three bright red bonus point buttons placed on a simple wooden table in front of them, not knowing what to say. Barry lowered the muzzle of his gun to the ground.
"They even installed a light here..."
Yes, it was just a simple wooden table, and there was also a banner hung above it.
On the banner were large characters just like those on the Ershuinuo Star, reading "Brizza Star - Academy Bonus Point Button".
Below it hung an energy lamp. Maybe because it had been hanging for five days, it was not as bright as when it was first hung, but it was still bright enough to let people see the surrounding environment clearly.
In front of everyone was a hot spring, with steam rising gently upwards, making the whole space warm and cozy.
There was a path beside it that led to an unknown destination, and there were also small clusters of crystals growing in the corner.
Wang Tianwei raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw those shiny crystals. If she remembered correctly, the specialty of Brizza Star seemed to be superconducting crystals?
"So it's really underground," Barry exclaimed.
"Captain, we were right in our thinking, we just didn't find the right place."
"No wonder the passages inside and outside are so spacious. It turns out they were actually artificially dug out?"
Wu Pingzhuo also put his gun away and tentatively turned to He Siyu.
"Then what about us..."
He Siyu said helplessly,
"At this point, let's not worry about getting bonus points."
Wang Tianwei quickly surveyed the space inside the cave.
"Leola, has the snowstorm circle outside moved away?"
"No, this kind of snowstorm circle has a large range and its position is not fixed. There are currently no signs of it moving away. It can still buy us some more time."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianwei immediately began to count the supplies in her spatial button.
"Then let's not waste any time. Take advantage of the warmth here and quickly repair the mechas!
The mechas of your First Military Academy need to be added with training crystals, otherwise they are easy to be detected by radar. I still have some here, which is enough for you.
The rest of you should replenish the firepower ammunition as quickly as possible. Move, move!"
After the three commanders confirmed that there were no Zergs in the cave, they were the first to get out of their mechas. The others dared to come out only after hearing the captain's order.
When they saw each other's embarrassed looks, they all let out bitter smiles. There were varying degrees of blood on everyone's faces and clothes, which showed that, just as Wu Fangyu said, the temporary safety was "bought with lives".
Wang Tianwei took out four brooches and handed them to He Siyu.
"Here, communication brooches. Now you can also communicate with the military department at any time."
"Thank you."
"Why be so polite? Leola, here are the training crystals. Wu Fangyu, come and help!"
Seeing Wang Tianwei continuously taking out materials from her spatial button, the people from the other two military academies couldn't help but sigh at her foresight.
"One always regrets not having enough goods when in need." They still hadn't learned the essence well enough.
Look at these spare mecha parts, ammunition, and various materials... They were simply life - savers!
Even Huang Yan silently made up his mind that in the future, he would never say a single word about anyone's spatial button.
"Goldfish, please come and help me carry the gun barrel."
"Coming!"
"Lyra, something seems to be stuck here. Can you help me take a look?"
"Wait a second. Let me tighten the hydraulic pipe first. I'll come right away."
"Wu Pingzhuo, stop being busy for a moment. Remove one of your rocket launchers. I'll replace it with a short - barreled cannon barrel."
"Thanks!"
Fu Xingyuan was trying to use the method that Leola had once taught him to restore a piece of metal that had been dented into the mecha to its original shape.
Hiranuma Yusho showed the safe he found on the aircraft in front of Wang Tianwei.
"Our optical brains and spare spatial buttons are all in here. It will be much more convenient if we take them out. See if you can open it."
"You actually got it!? Okay, let me take a look."
Wang Tianwei lay on the safe and studied it. If it hadn't been for the urgent situation at that time, she would have also wanted to retrieve her team's optical brain.
"Student Wang... crackle... Student Wang Tianwei?"
Wang Tianwei quickly stopped what she was doing.
"Teacher Ji, I'm here."
Was the signal of her communicator being interfered with? Could it be because of the snowstorm outside? It shouldn't be, right?
Wang Tianwei walked around looking for a signal.
"I... crackle... will arrive soon. Tell... me your location."
"We're right at the academy bonus point button set up by the event organizers!"
As Wang Tianwei said, she looked at the lonely banner again. This coordinate must be specific enough.
Ji Gang was also a little stunned when he heard this. The academy bonus point button? At a time like this...
"By the way, teacher! Can you ask the event organizers for the password of the safe that stores Valk's optical brain? All their things are in it. With the optical brain, it will be more convenient for us to communicate and video - chat."
Because of the signal problem, Wang Tianwei had to repeat this sentence twice before Ji Gang understood what she meant.
"I'll ask. Wait a moment!"
During the waiting period, Wang Tianwei chiseled out two superconducting crystals. Through the intermittent communicator, she asked Ji Gang if the poor signal was related to these things.
After getting a negative answer, she quickly figured out how to use the crystals in just two sentences. So she just rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
At the beginning, the purification step took her a lot of time. After all, the fact that superconducting crystals could grow on Brizza Star showed how difficult it was to melt them.
But soon, she felt several mental powers probing over from different directions to help her. Wang Tianwei curled the corner of her lips.
"Thanks, everyone!"
Not long after, Ji Gang found out the password. Hiranuma Yusho opened the safe, and Valk quickly put on the optical brain.
The signal of the optical brain was also very poor. Some pictures and videos couldn't be loaded, but text - based information always appeared first.
Several split - screens were projected in the air, and only then did the twelve people know that the Federation had gone through a great battle...
After reading the written descriptions, Taylor couldn't help but be indignant.
"Damn Zergs, they've parasitized so many soldiers!"
When they browsed the list of casualties, everyone was stunned.
Wu Fangyu rubbed her eyes several times, refusing to accept the reality.
"... The signal is too poor. It must be because of the signal."
He Siyu's eyes also turned red when she saw the names "Xue Jie" and "Wen Nanfeng". She had seen them at the Academy of Sciences just ten days ago.
At that time, the two deans were still full of confidence, vowing to train them into higher - level warriors.
After reading the list, Huang Yan said nothing. He only paused for a moment in silence and then continued to load ammunition into his mecha and replace it with a brand - new energy source.
Wang Tianwei wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes forcefully, bit her lower lip, and continued to draw the melted crystals into thin wires and stick them to the receiver of the communicator bit by bit.
"Teacher Ji."
Over there, Ji Gang had already guessed from the words that the kids had seen the news.
"... I'm here."
"Try the signal now. How is it?"
