Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 23

Shi Lang stood on the podium. He had just finished coming up with the strategy for the group battle and the class looked all excited. The plan the boy had come up with was risky but it did not come without a chance of victory.

Jane slapped the table and said, “I am in.”

The rest also stood up one by one and began to show their support. They all were aware that it was their last chance to ever defeat the battle class, this was the only chance they will ever get to break the cage and walk out of their shadows. They did not want to give up even if they went down trying, they will accept it.

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Then let’s go. Time to get them. It is now, do or die.”

Lucas and the rest nodded and they all walked out of the class in a neat queue. They were feeling like soldiers charging to their final war. This was one of the things that Shi Lang had told them, their mindset will change the game. They needed to feel like a soldier to act like a soldier.

However, the boy thought that he had made a mistake in explanation. He shook his head as the class walked to the simulation hall. The group battle was to be held here. The vocational courses were all exempted from group battles. Only the main courses like the technology branch and the battle class were to fight in the group battles.

The students all sat down inside the simulation hall. This hall could hold a total of one hundred and twenty students which was equivalent to the strength of two classes. Shi Lang sat on the seat allocated to him by the school. They all leaned back in the seat and closed their eyes.

Opposite to the technology class sat the students of the battle class. Jenkins was also present in the crowd, however, his presence was a bit weak. Shi Lang had not taken notice of him and neither did he intend to.

…

As the students closed their eyes and relaxed, the darkness in their vision lit up. They now stood surrounded by what seemed to be a boundless white domain. A mechanical voice sounded in their ears, “Welcome to the simulation center. Please select a battle uniform for yourself.”

Shi Lang smiled and selected the standard black suit used by the army training units. The suit was body tight with some pads and protection gear added on the joints and crucial muscle group. It was indeed capable of stoping any harm to befall on the wearer.

The mechanical voice sounded again, “Attire selected, please select a primary weapon, a melee weapon, and side items.” f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

This dialog allowed the students to select the weapons on their own. Shi Lang scrolled through the big list and picked up a submachine gun, a drill-like knife called, Feng HDD along with one grenade, three smoke grenades, and one EMP.

He did not pick up a first aid supply and focused on getting himself weapons because once the battle started, he will not be able to get a re-supply. He was not reckless, this was their strategy, the snipers did not need to carry guns, so they carried a lot of medicinal supplies.

The class was divided into several groups. They were as such, Snipers, Guerillas, Decoys, and Medics.

The job class is self definitive. The mechanical voice echoed again, “You will now be transported to the game. May the best Terran win.”

As soon as the voice stopped, Shi Lang only sensed the scenery changed. The boy was standing in a clearing of a forest, as it seemed to be. He was holding his gun and other chosen supplies. This was the magic of the simulation room. The chair they were resting on was not only for relaxing them but also, to transport their consciousness to a big map, where the students can duke it out. This was called the Simulated Domain.

Shi Lang did not appear alone, he looked around and found that his classmates also spawned beside him. After a few seconds, sixty people stood in a group. Tim said, “I may be the class leader, however, we all know that Shi Lang is much more capable than me to get us to victory. So let us follow his command?”

The people all nodded to show their agreement. Shi Lang sighed and said, “Very well. Stand in rows according to your departments.”

Tim replied, “Snipers with me.”

Lucas said, “Decoys with me.” 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Shi Lang said, “Guerillas with me.”

A girl said, “Medics, come here.”

There were ten snipers, ten decoys, ten medics, and the guerillas had thirty people. Shi Lang said, “Medics, give the guerillas one pack of basic first aid. Decoys will be luring the enemy, Guerilla and Sniper will cooperate with the decoys to take ambush the enemy. Medics, you are to hide and come out only to help the rest with medication. Hide well, and do not move until called upon. Understood?”

The people nodded and said, “Yes, sir.”

Following that students all divided. The spawning area was a safe place and the medics will stay back. The map they all spawned upon was a forest map, that had an area of twenty square kilometers. It would have been a big distance for a normal human but Terrans were able to comb this area easily.

The team distribution was three guerillas, one decoy, and one sniper. The spawning zone was a corner area, so the teams covered the first nine kilometers around this corner. Five teams in the front and four at the back with each team responsible for a circular area of one-kilometer diameter. The decoys were all two-star Terrans.

The last team was led by Shi Lang. They were the hunter team, bringing the war to the enemy camp. However, they were not the only ones to have plans.

…

The few people in the battle class were all proud beasts, they were divided into camps from within and some had already left the place. Only Jenkins Edwards and thirty of his loyal followers were left. One of the guys asked, “Jenkins, what is the plan?”

Jenkins said coldly, “Hunt them down. Comb the whole forest. Kill those you see. We charge at their spawn camps.”
