Rhythm
Hu Luobu's sudden elimination caught everyone off guard, including Hu Luobu himself. Before being eliminated, he had already noticed the position of another mecha, but he never expected another silent mecha to be lurking in the shadows. It took him out with a silent shot while he was aiming at someone else.
And it was done with a 60% sniper cannon.
In the arena, the more energy a sniper cannon used by a artillery mecha, the more energy it consumed. Especially in the later stages, where frequent support for teammates was required, every artillery mecha pilot needed to control the energy of each shot. A 60% energy sniper shot from the opponent, if it didn't hit, would waste the energy of two shots, something a normal artillery mecha pilot wouldn't do.
But this person not only did it but also successfully eliminated him, as if calculating that this shot would surely hit.
Many people were watching Chi Lizi's live broadcast, including some from the mecha base collecting information. Seeing this information, they relayed the news back to their base, attracting many professional mecha pilots to the live broadcast room.
At the YDS base, Ke Lin saw the situation and immediately went to the training room, having someone access Hu Luobu's perspective.
Hu Luobu had already been eliminated, and he could only watch the battle through his teammate Chi Lizi's perspective. "This artillery is a bit scary. I didn't notice his position at all."
This wasn't a stealth mecha, and artillery mecha would leave thruster traces no matter how they moved. Either they were exposed on the radar, or their sound was detected. However, this artillery mecha had not appeared at all in this chaotic battle, as if every move was perfectly calculated.
After understanding the situation, Ke Lin frowned and said, "You fell into a trap. When you entered the melee, you had already entered their rhythm. Chi Lizi's initial guess was correct, this person is indeed from the five-person team. He can move so smoothly under your noses, I'm afraid all his teammates are his eyes."
The team battle league was about to begin, and now all mecha pilots were on the research lists of major mecha bases. Outstanding artillery mecha pilots would not be overlooked. The YDS base had recently held a meeting to study the outstanding artillery mecha pilots in the Dawn Star System, but they had never seen this type of artillery mecha and such team coordination.
Using the entire team as the eyes of a artillery mecha was a combat style centered around artillerys. However, this team was strange, they did not protect the core mech as they should. All their actions carried a strange lack of coordination.
"Is Chi Lizi live streaming?" Ke Lin asked.
Hu Luobu said, "Yes, I encountered him in solo mode. It happened to be a full squad."
Ke Lin, "Not only did I notice, but others did too. This artillery has strong individual abilities, not inferior to Ace."
Star Network, everyone was focusing on Chi Lizi's perspective. A regular virtual battlefield match suddenly became the center of attention for everyone.
Hu Luobu couldn't speak after dying, and he couldn't chat through the IP backstage like his teammates. He immediately went to Chi Lizi's live stream.
Chi Lizi's pressure soared after Hu Luobu's death. The strength needed to eliminate Hu Luobu indicated that the opponent was at least above Hu Luobu's level. Moreover, the opponent might be a team from another star system. "I'm sure he had no team at the beginning. There was absolutely no one around him to support. This team had no coordination, they were just fooling around—"
Before he could finish speaking, a kill appeared in the unseen perspective.
[Player qpdik03 eliminates player lina123.]
Seeing this, Chi Lizi suddenly felt as if an unknown potential hunter was staring at him on the real battlefield of the Contamination Zone. "... They are coordinated."
"Lina?" Ace looked surprisingly at his teammate's position, and his teammate could no longer respond. He immediately found Lina's location before being eliminated, noticing a certain mecha. "Damn, when did it appear there?"
He was sure that Lina couldn't be attacked at close range. The control mecha was the mecha least afraid of close combat. Lina had two control weapons and could escape at any time when approached... It could only be eliminated by a long-range mecha.
01 was a artillery mecha that didn't escape, so 03 could only be a control mecha.
A control mecha that could single-handedly kill opponents...?
Behind a building, the female mecha pilot Lu Xi manipulated her mecha to stay in place. Her three shots just now didn't waste any bullets. Two water stream bullets immobilized the mecha, and a continuous burning incendiary shell consumed Lina123.
In her field of vision, her radar view was extremely clear, but she had never left this area from start to finish. Previously, when cooperating with You Su, she always felt a kind of difficulty. You Su's combat strategy was too different from Xu Yaojun's. Xu Yaojun was too slow, and You Su was too fast. This kind of fast wasn't fast in the conventional sense. For example, other artillery mecha pilots would have a judgment gap when aiming, locking, and firing. Still, You Su didn't, he almost hit as soon as he aimed.
This couldn't be solved by You Su's gun handling or cooperation. The gap in strategy was a terrifying existence.
A control mecha was originally an existence that assisted teammates in achieving kills. If she couldn't keep up with You Su's train of thought, it would cause him to be out of sync with others. Her support would become ineffective. She had no problem keeping up with any other teammates, but she couldn't keep up with You Su, making her feel tricky for the first time. Later, their coach Jiang Simiao found a way to slow down You Su's rhythm, allowing them to cooperate with each other. Still, she found it uncomfortable.
You Su's gun handling should have been unstoppable, not weakened because of their teammates.
But today, she found the rhythm point to keep up with You Su for the first time.
She didn't need to protect her teammates. Her field of view suddenly became vast. She didn't need to be ready to use control bullets to assist teammates in attacking or evading. It gave her plenty of time to observe this area. She only needed to preserve herself, acting as another kind of eyes for her teammates.
The habit of assisting teammates for a long time made her pay clear attention to a part of the environment. Teammates always focused on enemies, while she always focused on teammates and the environment.
So when the environment around You Su changed, she, like a sparrow staying at the end, saw the other side, noticing the roaming control mech, Lina123, who had assisted them.
A roaming control mecha was easily hit by stray bullets, and this mecha pilot should be relatively strong to survive the recent wave of stray bullets. Seeing that the mecha evaded and waited, seemingly receiving an order to evade and wait, she didn't want to let go of this mecha. This mecha was on You Su's action route, so she chose to fire.

Because this mech was on You Su's action route, she chose to open fire.
Lu Xi, after killing lina123, was immediately targeted by a sniper rifle. She awkwardly dodged the attack, saying, "Sorry, I exposed myself."
Ying Chenlin, who was about to land, spoke up, "No, you did well."
He looked at a certain view in his perspective, and Lu Xi found a breakthrough for them.
At this moment, You Su, who had been in the flying perspective, smoothly aimed while flying, utilizing the fleeing teammate Lu Xi. He quickly found the position of a artillery mecha pilot and decisively aimed and fired!
The light of the sniper rifle suddenly flashed, hitting the artillery mech.
In Chi Lizi's field of view, he saw this scene, the flying artillery mech fired while moving at high speed. "This person's strength... is terrifying!"
[To be honest... I've only seen this kind of play from a neighboring solo player.]
[Aiming while flying in a team battle, and the enemy's teammates didn't turn him into a sieve!!]
[But he did it! His teammate 03 even took out the enemy's teammate!]
[Darn! Liz, you can't be eliminated, you have to keep a close eye on them!]
Chi Lizi received care and messages from netizens and mech pilots from the Dawn Star System in an instant. "Darn, am I a camera! Can I follow him!? That's a fierce person who dares to aim while flying at high speed!"
[What's wrong with being a camera!?]
[YDS-luobo : Don't feel wronged about being a camera. Want me to lie down for you?]
[Ji Feng-zhao : Liz, you're doing great. I'm bringing our Ji Feng over to watch! My boss says your skills can definitely hold up.]
[Qi Sicheng said you can hold up. If you can't, you'll be ashamed of the Black Crow (dog's head).]
[Oh, don't worry, Liz is at least a stealth mech. Hiding is definitely not a problem!]
Chi Lizi, "???"
On the other side, the artillery mech hit by You Su had quickly retreated. KID's mechas returned to their roaming positions. Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were in an outer position, conveniently blocking the entrance. Ji Qingfeng said, "More mechas have been eliminated, and some mechas from outside are coming this way."
Lin Yao, in high spirits, said, "Is it our turn? Don't worry, we'll be good gatekeepers."
You Su glanced at the control mecha that had been following him at a certain distance. He said to Lu Xi, "Well done. We probably need another shot. Keep an eye on it for me."
Lu Xi, in a safe position, immediately responded, "Okay."
Ying Chenlin noticed the mecha that disappeared from You Su's perspective. "Change positions, go around and head to the mechanical chimney area."
You Su, who was planning to fly in the opposite direction, asked, "Why?"
"I'm familiar with this map, with an 80% similarity to the solo abandoned factory. When you were hiding, I mapped out the area," Ying Chenlin said.
Ying Chenlin had a kind of intuition, as if the instinct for solo combat on the battlefield was stimulated during the process of coordinating actions with You Su in the same perspective. "Trust my words, go in that direction."
You Su asked, "Are you sure?"
Ying Chenlin replied, "I'm guessing."
For some reason, You Su heard a strange feeling from Ying Chenlin's plain tone.
It wasn't the calm and confident tone he had heard in the past, but rather a kind of confident and decisive vigor.
Ying Chenlin said, "I'm guessing, but he will definitely go there."
