Chapter 109 Opening Ceremony
Chapter 109 Opening Ceremony
Five days later is the opening ceremony of the Asian Cup, and all players will enter the field ahead of time to attend the opening ceremony together.
Thailand is one of the first countries in Asia to participate in the Survival World Championships. It attaches great importance to this competitive activity. When it hosted the Asian Cup in the first year, it specially built a stadium for spectators to watch and a very famous competition venue - Taibaman Organ city.
Only part of the Taibaman Organ City is allowed to go sightseeing, and the rest is only open during the national professional competition and the Asian Cup. It is generally well preserved. After continuous expansion and improvement over the years, it has become a very famous survival competition in Asia. venue.
"Wow! Taibaman! I wanted to come here when I was watching the game, but I didn't come when I heard that it was only partially open to tourists. I never thought that I would be able to come here for the game one day!" Yang Zi took pictures with a small camera. Happy.
Yin Yuze said indifferently, "This Asian Cup involves 30 teams from 60 countries, with hundreds of team members, not to mention the audience. Can you look smarter, don't you look like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden?" ?”
Liang Zhenghao, who was secretly taking pictures with his mobile phone behind him, quickly put away his mobile phone, pretending that he didn't do anything and cast a disgusted look at Yang Zi.
Lin Xihe was full of question marks, Grandma Liu?Grand View Garden?Go in and take pictures?
Yang Zi put away the camera, "Aren't I taking pictures in the car? I didn't go down to take pictures. When the car stops, I, Yang Zi, step out of the car door, and I will definitely be the most beautiful boy in the audience!"
The car stopped at the door, and He Cheng warned, "This time you are not only representing the Macaron team, but also the Chinese team. Image and demeanor are very important, and don't fight with players from other countries."
Yang Zi shouted, "Don't worry! I got up at 6 o'clock this morning to tinker with hairstyles! How do we go out? The captain goes first? The others are ranked by height?"
Liang Zhenghao subconsciously complained, "Is there any difference between the captain walking in front and ranking by height?"
The car was suddenly quiet for a second, Liang Zhenghao also realized what he said, and quickly hid behind Lin Xihe.In the end Chi Yu and Liang Zhenghao walked in front, followed by Lin Xihe, Yin Yuze and Yang Zi.
Lin Xihe had just appeared at the door of the car, and there were deafening screams all around. Fans waved support cards in an organized manner and shouted one after another.
"Glen! Glen! Glen!"
Lin Xihe paused for a moment, and forgot to get off the car at the door. There were tens of thousands of spectators in front of him. Their skin colors, appearances, and costumes were all different. You could see his eyes full of excitement. But it was exactly the same. The familiar scene seemed to make him travel back in time and space to the time five years ago when Gransim's presence was deserted.
Soon he came back to his senses, raised a smile and waved enthusiastically to everyone, causing the fans to shout even more excitedly.
He got out of the car, and the sound of a trumpet suddenly sounded not far away. Lin Xihe turned his head to look, and saw a distinctly different area in the fan group, which looked like a band, with drummers, trumpeters, and Some played the electronic organ and the cello. Dylan stood in front of the band in a pure white suit, smiled at Lin Xihe, picked up the violin and played a long note first, and the whole band sounded.
Dylan was so high-profile that someone would have recognized him. There were screams all around, and the sound of taking pictures sounded like a press conference.
It has to be said that Dylan has a very handsome appearance and perfectly inherited the unique demeanor and elegance of the Italians. It is no wonder that Dylan is the most popular survival athlete in the world today.
Yang Zi took a step forward and asked Yin Yuze, "Hey, mechanism mouse, what song is this?"
Yin Yuze said calmly, "The famous Italian song "My Sun"."
Yang Zi began to gossip, "Is this a love song?"
"Yes, but there are different opinions. Some people think that the sun refers to Capua's lover, and some people think that this song sings about brotherhood."
Yang Zi clicked his tongue twice, "It's really the enthusiastic Italian people."
Lin Xihe was called the sun god Apollo by fans because of his handsome appearance and optimistic and cheerful personality when he was in the army. This song "My Sun" is really well chosen.
Lin Xihe twitched the corners of his mouth almost invisibly. Although the Russians were also very frank and bold, he really couldn't bear such a fierce offensive. In comparison, he still liked the reserved Chinese.
And Chi Yu stopped to appreciate a section very seriously, and Lin Xihe's heart skipped a beat when he saw that slightly smiling appearance.He really couldn't figure out the kid's mind more and more.
Before Dylan finished playing this song, the two teams of the Thai national team arrived.
Thailand formed the national team very early, and now only the first and second teams of the national team can enter the Asian Cup, and generally only the first team led by Bayu can enter the World Cup.
Bayu walks at the forefront of the team. The uniform of the Thai national team is pure white, with a loose top, lantern trousers, and a long brown ribbon around the waist, which is very ethnic. Their combat uniforms are also mainly white. tone.
Bayu's complexion is dark, but he is not compared with this white team uniform. He always has a smile on his face, showing a mouthful of neat white teeth wherever he goes. Even the golden earring on his right ear does not look rustic. , On the contrary, it gives people a feeling of sunshine, extravagance and heartiness.
But at this moment, Lin Xihe didn't feel the slightest joy in seeing his old friend, and when he thought about how Bayu had tricked him a few days ago, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Bayu seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of the scene and this piece of Italian-style music very much. After walking a few steps, he couldn't restrain his hands and feet. He led his teammates to dance, and even jumped to Lin Xihe, imitating the appearance of the audience and shouting , "Glen! wow! Glen! wow!"
Lin Xihe said with a dark face, "Do you think I can forgive you like this?"
Bayu turned his ear and shouted exaggeratedly, "What? Iothearwhatyousay!"
Lin Xihe said in a low voice with a gloomy face, "You want to be chased by me for six games, don't you?"
"I'm so sorry."
"speak Mandarin."
"I was wrong."
The national team came here with the Macaron team. Kou Ran and Shao Rui are also highly popular players, but this time they are completely covered by the light. Shao Rui is not only not angry, but admires them very much, whispering all the time.
"As expected of Gunslinger, there are so many fans! I'm so envious of them, I also want to raise a support card for Gunslinger."
Huang Danxian patted the unresponsive Shao Rui, "Captain, we have a traitor among us."
Kou Ran didn't speak, Wu Hongxuan said, "If you work hard, the World Championship will realize this dream."
"real?!"
"Of course it is true. If you continue to play in this state, you may be eliminated in the World Championships after you can't even finish the group stage. In the finals, can you sit in the audience and give a support card to the Gunner? When the time comes Don't talk about you, we will all accompany you to lift it."
Thinking of that miserable scene, Shao Rui twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a friendly voice, "Let's forget it."
Everyone entered the gymnasium to sign in. Many players had already gathered in the waiting room. Coupled with the coming and going of working people, the huge gymnasium was crowded with people.
Liang Zhenghao sighed, "There are so many people."
Yang Zi said, "Of course, the Asian Cup is not as difficult as the European Cup and the America's Cup, but it is definitely the most participating teams in the continental cups, and it is also the most lively among the continental cups."
Liang Zhenghao joked, "You know all this?"
Yang Zi immediately talked eloquently, "Of course, even though I wasn't a professional player before, I paid close attention to professional competitions. The highest-standard competitions in world survival competitions today are the World Championships and Individual Championships, followed by the Continental Cups, and then The second is the national professional leagues organized by each country and reported to the World Survival Athletic Association for the record, and finally some regional competitions, provincial competitions, competitions and the like."
"In the continental cup competitions, the European Cup and the America's Cup are neck and neck in terms of gold content. There are many strong teams. Among them, Russia and the United States are the most powerful, followed by the Africa Cup and the Asian Cup. The strength is relatively balanced. South Africa, Egypt, Thailand, China, India, and Japan are the leaders, and the Oceania Cup is the last, and the only relatively strong teams are Australia and Singapore."
Liang Zhenghao applauded, "Brother Yang, I underestimated you."
"Thank you for including us India among the powerful countries." A voice came from behind, and the national flag of India was printed on the team uniform of the speaker.
The man was young, and Lin Xihe didn't know him, but the man walked over and shook hands with him, "Hello, Gunslinger, I decided to play professional survival after watching your game. Without you, I would never There will be the current Vikas Singh, I am very grateful to you, I really did not expect to meet on the court one day."
Hearing that he was his junior, Lin Xihe said with a smile, "You are too polite, see you on the field."
"See you on the field."
After speaking, he turned his head and found that Liang Zhenghao and Yang Zi were both looking at him with admiration, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "What's wrong?"
"Gun God, you are so amazing! I didn't expect that even Vikas is your fan!"
Vikas?It seems to be the name of that person just now.
"You all know him?"
Everyone nodded, and Yang Zi said, "Vikas Singh, India's most famous gunner, currently ranks third among heavy artillery players in the world!"
Lin Xihe shook his head helplessly, he really had been away from the circle for too long, and he knew very little about the young people of today.
In the waiting hall, there was a group of people dressed in black, with guns in their arms and no gun cases. Their behavior gave people a rude feeling, and there were no teams from other countries near them.
"That seems to be the Iraqi team?" Yang Zi asked.
Liang Zhenghao said, "Yes, those who have to get a red card every year, be careful of them."
Lin Xihe remembered what Crick had reminded him, so he couldn't help but look twice, but those people didn't seem to notice him. They chatted happily and laughed endlessly. Lin Xihe left with his teammates, but he didn't pay attention. After he turned around, an Iraqi player pointed at his back and winked at his teammates, and several others also showed malicious smiles.
Although there are many players participating in the Asian Cup, Thailand is very experienced in hosting the Asian Cup, and the inspection process did not take too long.
Different from the national competition, in the Asian Cup, there are more teams that have the right to go through the inspection-free channel. They are all teams that have won the Asian Cup team championship together.
Among them, Thailand, India, and China were all in the queue, and Lin Xihe was the only one who walked through the inspection-free passage by himself, and seemed out of tune with the people around him.
Bayu joked, "You have become the only seedling of the Macaron team. How does it feel to lead the whole team by yourself?"
Lin Xihe said positively, "There are no weak people in the Macaron team. My teammates are just like your teammates, they are all strong and hardworking guys."
Bayu waved his hand, "Sorry, I was just joking."
There is a huge display screen hanging on the upper floor behind the check-in entrance, just in the center of the hall, very conspicuous.It shows the check-in status of each team, but whenever a player with an inspection-free channel completes the check-in, the gun situation and owner will be displayed on the screen, which has become a landscape of this check-in.
Lin Xihe was about to hand over the gun when Bayu patted him, "To discuss something, can we let our team inspect it first? Otherwise, who will pay attention to us once your gun is revealed? It's only once a year. An opportunity for everyone to perform.”
Lin Xihe twitched the corners of his mouth, but he still consciously moved to the back of the line.He also understands that the gold content of the Asian Cup is not high. Some players who can show their strengths in the Asian Cup will be compared to the scum in the World Championships. This is the only time that can give them some confidence. up.
Bayu opened the gun box and took out the dark red TAR-21 assault rifle inside. This gun is expensive among rifles and has a special shape. Its unique bullpup design keeps the gun body intact while shortening the overall length of the gun. The length of the barrel provides the operator with higher portability and flexibility without losing the muzzle velocity and kinetic energy that the rifle should have.
Bayu is also a player who can use gun fighting skills. TAR-21 is perfect for him, and this TAR-21 is the highest honor awarded to him by the Thai Survival Competition Association. The entire body of the gun is shot in dark red, such as The name of the red eagle that spreads its wings and soars comes from this.
Gun name: Red Hawk
World ranking: N0.12
Points: 672
Named by: Bayu Sompashan
Current owner: Bayu Somprasan
Someone started whistling, and Lin Xihe couldn't help being relieved. When he retired, Bayu was still in his early 30s. It was very difficult to get into the top 30. Unexpectedly, five years later, he was not far from the top ten in the world.
Looking at the rankings and points on the screen, Lin Xihe felt a sense of urgency in his heart, which made him eager to play a game. This feeling he didn't have in the national competition.
After the inspection of the Thai players, it was India. The Indian player Vikas Singh who had just greeted him used a Gatling weapon. No wonder he was called a gunner.His world ranking is No. [-], but the name of the gun and the current owner are all written in his name, which means that the gun points were scored by him alone.
The scoreboard is something that needs to be accumulated over time, and he is so young, and he can climb to this position in just a few years, his strength can be seen.
The last one is Lin Xihe. When it is his turn, the inspector's hands are shaking. It is a gun that has been fired for millions of dollars. It is rarely seen in Asia. Ordinary people want to take a look at it from a distance. It's hard, let alone holding it so close.
Some of the players who have already passed the inspection-free channel deliberately stayed, just to see this legendary weapon that has occupied No.9 in the standings for 1 consecutive years-the God of the Gun Crown.
Gun Name: God of the Gun Crown
World ranking: N0.1
Points: 982
Named by: Gransim Khlebnikov
Current owner: Gransim Khlebnikov
Points in the standings are calculated based on the S-level and above players killed by guns. S-level players get 1 point, SS-level players get 5 points, and SSS-level players get 20 points. This point is only available in world-level competitions of the continental cup and above. Winning counts. This Asian Cup is the first time for Lin Xihe to calculate points after his comeback, so the points of the Gun Crown God are still at the time when he was suspended five years ago.
982 points.
This proud result almost made all the players silent.
In five years, no gun can surpass this point. Even Bayu, who has already ranked 12th, is more than 300 points behind him, and this is only his result five years ago.
Lin Xihe walked through the exemption gate, and almost all the players were looking at him. Bayu laughed and said, "Someone ranked higher than me in the Asian Cup, I'm really not used to it."
Lin Xi said softly, "I didn't expect you to be in the top ten."
"Quick? It's still a long way off. You know these monsters, the harder they get to the top, I guess I'll be able to hit ninth in another five years!"
Although it was a joke, it was enough to show the strength of the top ten players in the standings.
Lin Xihe was going to meet up with his teammates at the ordinary inspection gate. Bayu accompanied him there, and happened to see Chi Yu take out two pistols from the gun box. Slowing down, he saw Chi Yu hit the flower basket hanging next to the test target.
The flowers and leaves in the hanging basket were knocked off several pieces by him, and the basket was crumbling, looking very pitiful.
Bayu's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and he didn't know what to say, even the players around him fell silent for a moment.
Someone asked in a low voice, "Is he not wearing glasses?"
"Probably drunk."
"Anyway, it's a member of the Gun God, it shouldn't be, it may be intentional!"
"You missed the test target on purpose? Is it meaningful that you can't even measure the value of the gun?"
While the players of the national team and the Macaron team seemed very calm, Kou Ran simply left without seeing it anymore. He didn't want to admit that it was such a guy who defeated him.
Shao Rui was still laughing and watching the excitement, "Hey, this group of people who look down on delays are waiting to be abused when they arrive on the field! I can't wait, haha!"
As a result, he was dragged away by Wu Hongxuan in the middle of speaking.
Bayu's mouth was finally able to close, "Your teammate is very special."
Lin Xihe couldn't help laughing and said, "He is also very special in my heart."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized what he had said, turned his head to look at the teasing gaze at Shang Bayu, and thought of the "special product" that this guy gave him a few days ago, Lin Xihe simply broke the jar, "Look What? Let's see if I hit you first."
Bayu quickly turned his head, "Don't look at it or not, you are a real person, too violent, even Apollo, you can deceive fans."
The inspection of all members of the Macaron team is over, and Bayu also waved goodbye to him, "I have to go to open the paintball gun for the opening ceremony, let's go first, 88~"
Lin Xihe was a little envious. He also wanted to play paintball. If this was five years ago, he would have been invited to play paintball even at the level of the World Championships, but now it is different.
The opening ceremony of the Asian Cup was very lively. After the chairman of Thailand Survival Sports gave a speech, players from all over the world entered the arena, and the leaders were three jeweled Thai elephants, followed by the Thai team. The rest of the teams entered the arena according to the number of championships won. China ranked third When the Macaron team walked past the rostrum, the voice of the commentary was obviously a lot more excited, and there were enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Bayu was chosen as the representative of the contestants to speak on stage to take the oath. His meticulous appearance looked very handsome, and the close-up projected on the big screen made the fans in the auditorium scream in unison.
He read the oath in the languages of Thailand, China and Japan, after which the contestants took their seats and fired their guns.
This is also the most shocking part of the opening ceremony. All the team players who have won the Asian Cup championship fired their paintball guns one by one, similar to the torch relay in the Olympic Games. It is a very honorable and commemorative event.
Colorful paintball guns fired around the field one by one, and the colorful smoke filled the air like a beautiful rainbow. At the same time, the video collection of the award speeches of all the winning teams since the start of the Asian Cup began to be played on the big screen.
It was Japan at first, and soon Thailand and India crossed over. It was not until recent years that the Chinese team appeared. The appropriate editing and exciting music seemed to bring people back to that era, and shared the joy of winning the championship with them. joy.
Chi Yu turned his head and saw Lin Xihe holding the big screen, looking at it very seriously. His eyes were filled with the colorful light of the screen, and the colorful smoke passed by in a flash, and all of them were captured in those bright eyes.
It looked like a child lying on the window looking enviously at his friends who were setting off fireworks.
With a thought, Chi Yu secretly held Lin Xihe's hand and said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer, this day will come soon."
Lin Xihe was surprised that Chi Yu knew what he was thinking, and felt that the past that seemed like yesterday was so far away, and then smiled gently, "You mean the day when we can shoot guns with you? "
Chi Yu, who wanted to appease his lover, was teased by this sentence instead, and he said softly, "I already understand that you have many friends and many people who like you, and you are not only so outstanding in my eyes, so I will not do it again." To care about the memories you and they have without me, and I'll be someone worthy of you for all the world to see."
The sound of the paintball gun rang out again, mixed with the roar of cheers as if it exploded in his ears, but Lin Xihe could hear Chi Yu's words clearly, and that rarely serious appearance outside the arena reminded him of Chi Yu's confession to himself that day.
"I'm saying, I can be your reliance."
And he has been working hard on it.
