Chapter 1200: Reason to Live On
Zhang Shan and the rest were unsure of what they were feeling. They had no reason to be jealous over such a victory. Whether they liked it or not, Luo Fei had gone all out. This was how life worked. For this battle, they could only applaud Luo Fei.
The first half of the battles ended and the next round started, and this upcoming battle would be the top four battles' most influential - Saruman Snake battle team against the Soulless battle team.
It would not be a surprise to anyone if either of these teams were to appear in the finals, but right now, they were about to face off in a top four battle. There was no path of retreat.
The victorious team would be rewarded with the best rest and conditioning while they await for the opponent to appear. As for the Sword Shield Rose battle team, it could be said that they were having it relatively easy. The destroyed the remains of the Dynasty battle team could not be their match. Even if Lear was divine, with Lin Feng around, they had an oppressive advantage. It could be said that what the Sword Shield Rose battle team needed to do was to wait for an opponent, an opponent for the finals. Whether it was on purpose or not, they had the home team advantage, so there was nothing to say. In actuality, the Sword Shield Rose battle team did have the right to be in the finals.
Outside of the competition, every country was re-adjusting their odds. There was no doubt about it, the Sword Shield Rose battle team had already become one of the hottest choices to become champions. The second half consisted of three teams that could win the championship, but these three teams had to fight it out before meeting the Sword Shield Rose battle team. Everyone could see the battles, and the more that was shown, the easier they could be countered.
According to recent reports, the support for Sword Shield Rose battle team to win the championship was at 85%, and they were closely followed by the Sea Queen battle team.
In the far off galaxy, it was deep into the night.
Meng Tian gazed up in the sky. She could not see any stars - there was only a silverish blue aurora shining continuously.
This was a region that was unnaturally formed. The silverish blue light in the sky was a phenomenon that was a result of the clouds releasing lightning. The atmospheric composition here was obviously stranger than that of usual planets.
Many days had passed, and she had already understood the situation here roughly.
This was not an alien civilization, but a human one, a super cutting-edge organisation that had no nationality, no government, nor any restrictions. Meng Tian did not understand the existence of such a scary organisation, one which owned such frightening technology and strength yet was absolutely restrained.
The only thing they could be sure of was that there was a relation between here and the Saint World, which was similar to it. Meng Tian had once been there, so she was clear that this was not coincidental.
Aside from them and the captured royal fleet members, there were some military students who were in the Saint World who had been forcefully kidnapped to this planet using some specially strange teleportation technique.
It was obvious that this teleportation technique was relatively advanced, or it could be said that that kind of procedure was a gap. When they entered the Saint World, they were actually doing a type of space shift. Meng Tian was, after all, a student of Ares College, so she also understood space shift techniques, but not to such levels.
Meng Tian was not sure what the Milky Way Alliance would do or whether there would be a rescue team. She was not so naive - the Milky Way Alliance may take action, but the pros and cons of the rescue had to be weighed. The mysterious organisation behind all this likely had some plot. If not, there would be no reason to leave them alive. What Meng Tian had to do now was... stay alive.
The campfire beside her was burning, but it was not for keeping warmth, but to chase away winged beetles.
"Meng Tian."
Mengha added a soil medicine ball that was mixed with deworming leaves into the bonfire. A light green smoke, accompanied with a smell undetectable by humans, spread out. "Go and rest, leave the rest to me."
A bracelet had been installed onto everyone's hands, so unless they cut off their hands, it could not be taken off. The bracelets had a countdown timer, and they had to go through continuous battles in order to earn time. Once the time was up, it would explode.
Meng Tian nodded her head and lied down lightly. Drowsiness came over her and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
There was breathing, someone was approaching!
Meng Tian abruptly awoke, pulled out her bone knife that had been made by grinding a beast's bone, and stabbed across.
"It's me..."
A low voice sounded. Yuan Jing was using all his strength to hold onto Meng Tian's wrist. It was slightly exhausting, and the bone-chilling cold was making breathing difficult.
Meng Tian woke up alarmed hurriedly pulling back the knife. "Sorry..."
"I was too close."
Yuan Jing said as he shook his hand, which was slightly injured from the cold.
Three days ago, when he was trapped in a swamp, awaiting death, he had met the team Meng Tian had brought and escaped death. Meng Tian personally pulled him, who had already lost all his strength, out of the moss.
This world had become a mess. As time could be stolen from others, there were more people killing rather than saving. It was simply hell.
Sometimes, they only rescued people for the sake of personally killing them to seize their time. Doing this was much easier than the missions given by the controller behind the scenes in this world. It could be confirmed that all their movements were being tracked
Sometimes, they wanted them to kill an enhanced Zerg alone, sometimes they did not allow them to use their Ability X. If the mission failed, it would mean death. If they did not comply, it would also mean death. In such a short time, many people had died. Either way, those who survived had either allied or were strong. Humanity was given a cruel test under such devastation.
The reason why they persisted was because they could leave here alive after completing one hundred missions.
Was it real or fake?
It was no longer of importance as they had no choice, their lives were in other people's hands. If they wanted to live, they had to live in cycles.
Meng Tian and the rest evidently persisted by teaming. They were soldiers and could still control their own emotions. She did not know about the rest, but she needed to stay alive and find a way out of here.
Yuan Jing gazed at Meng Tian. This young fleet captain was their leader. Under such circumstances, she could still maintain a calm mind. Although she did not seem to care about anything on the surface, Yuan Jing knew that Meng Tian had a kind of persistence in her heart. For the sake of that persistence, she wanted to live on.
Actually, Yuan Jing had already given up, but looking at Meng Tian, he did not know why, but he wanted to live on. Maybe there would be a day where he could invite Meng Tian for coffee at school. Such a simple reason had actually become the reason for him to live on. It was simple and practical.
It was not just Yuan Jing, but everyone else in the team also thought that way. Meng Tian had helped maintain their humanity, allowing them to persist and resist the urge to attack others and giving them no choice but to take the bigger risk to finish those weird missions.
It was just, when would they reach the end?
Some people gave up because they felt that no one would look for them, or that they would not be able to wait until that moment. And for Meng Tian?
In actuality, Meng Tian herself did not know if there would be anyone who remembered her. Her father, Earth's general, was always busy with work. He was rejuvenated with being busy, and only when he himself achieved good results would he remember. Even when she set off with the explorer team, her father had said nothing. Life and death were up to fate, and victory and defeat were up to the heavens. This was a soldier's callousness and responsibility.
What about him? She had heard that he had gone to Aslan and he had the world's most beautiful princess. What about her?
