Chapter 69 Mythical Creatures
The smiling officer's question was filled with mixed emotions, and for a moment I couldn't quite figure out what he was hoping for.
Starting from the early hours of tonight, a large amount of casualty data has been transmitted back to the command center.
The top four teams on the leaderboard have already paired up.
The teams from the New Student Base and the North 1 Base were ranked 3rd and 4th respectively, and they encountered extremely intense attacks.
What about the Stars and Southeast No. 1 Team, who consistently rank in the top two?
The somber officer's reply was a resolute statement: "They will survive."
The smiling officer raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Old Meng still has so much faith in them."
Indeed, they were carrying deadly weapons, and all the rescue efforts were prioritized for them. If they still didn't survive...
"If he still doesn't survive, Staff Officer Yu should also worry about his own safety." The stern-faced officer interrupted the smiling officer, his voice cold.
"Chief of Staff Yu hasn't been to the front lines much?"
Staff Officer Yu was slightly taken aback; he came from a civilian background.
Old Meng should know this; is he saying it now to mock him?
Staff Officer Yu gave a half-smile; he had a thousand sarcastic remarks he could retort with, but before he could speak, the stern-faced officer said:
"You know that if the Fallen Insects attack the base, Commander-in-Chief Yu won't send you a helicopter to take you back to North 1, right?"
Staff Officer Yu choked.
"It's a blessing that the Stars Squad and the Southeast Squad survived."
If Staff Officer Yu isn't so foolish as to think he'll be a force to be reckoned with on the front lines, then we should all offer our blessings.
Before Staff Officer Yu could put on a smiling face and refute him, the stern-faced officer ignored him and turned to walk towards Yu Songyi.
Yu Songyi stood deeper in the underground parking garage, in a darker area.
This underground armory is an extremely large space, and it once stood brightly lit and filled with heavy weapons.
But all that is in the past. Now, deep within the dark armory, there is only a large, gray, and mottled machine, standing silently for a long time.
“It’s very old. Older than me, but still beautiful.” Yu Songyi’s voice was soft, and his touch on the silver-gray steel plate was also very gentle.
"Reconnaissance aircraft, transport aircraft, and ground support are all heading towards the contaminated area as planned."
"Clear the runway, and prepare for battle here as well," he said.
"Yes!" Several crisp replies echoed from the dark underground armory.
The lights were dim, shadows were everywhere, and the road ahead was shrouded in darkness.
But each step, extending in a different direction, was clear and firm, with a resounding echo.
In the forest, Qi An's perception of the Wisps, and everyone's awareness of danger, were all crystal clear.
The White Priest was still two kilometers away when a faint, moon-white glow appeared in the depths of darkness, extremely far away and faint, its light so weak that it could barely be seen by the human eye.
But a golden substance, as small as a drop of water or a bullet, broke free from the fluorescence, pierced through the fog, the trunk of a large tree, and then pierced the back of the Southeast Squad's medic!
The military doctor froze for a moment, and Su Qingran, who was next to him, also froze for a moment.
A small hole appeared in the medic's chest, and the hole burst into flames. The sparks instantly scorched his combat uniform and protective suit, and his flesh and bones showed signs of black carbonization!
The protective suit on Su Qingran's chest, where the golden bullet had grazed, was scorching hot, curled, and shrunken, the heat scorching her skin!
The crowd in front of the giant worm only realized what had happened when the person fell to the ground and screams rang in their headphones.
The second and third blows, however, came one after another.
Qi An was still looking back in shock when Wu Han tackled him to the ground.
The golden bullets grazed their heads and landed in the open space of the battlefield, where they burst into a burst of golden flames!
Insect oil... This white priest can refine insect oil from his body for use in long-range attacks?
What a powerful long-range attack! It's practically a molten lava gun... a molten lava cannon!
The medic of the Southeast Squad underwent a rapid transformation, but the speed of the transformation could not keep up with death, and he was burned to death on the grass.
As Wu Han looked back, Qi An saw those bright eyes widen, bloodshot veins appearing on the whites of her eyes!
Zhao Lang's roar sounded like his throat was being torn apart: "Chen Shaowen!"
Military doctor Chen Shaowen was unable to respond.
This sudden turn of events left the two members of the Southeast Squad responsible for guarding the wounded stunned.
A terrifying aura of pollution approached along with the flying golden bullets, and one of the team members with low mental resistance had unknowingly mutated!
Qi An dared not look up amidst the dangerous hail of bullets, but suddenly felt a powerful force on his body.
Wu Han's body trembled violently as a giant tentacle, like a giant whip, lashed out at him!
A mouthful of blood gushed out, clogging the breathing filter. Wu Han ripped off the filter, and the blood flowed directly onto Qi An's mask, blurring her vision into a sticky, scarlet blur!
She paused for a moment, then immediately reached into Wu Han's protective suit.
His palm brushed against Wu Han's lips and gripped his neck. Qi An purified himself in a state of 60% mutation, causing Wu Han's consciousness to be stripped away and his body to go limp.
His body went limp, and she was able to roll over and get up!
As her back arched, a golden bullet grazed past her, leaving a trail of fire and a deep groove between her flesh!
Qi An staggered, but grabbed Wu Han, dodged a fierce slap from a giant tentacle, and rushed towards the north of the giant insect!
Like a rabbit carrying a wolf, her frantic running figure, dragging Wu Han along, stunned everyone who witnessed it!
Qi An ran to the edge of the open space and bushes and put Wu Han down. The north was still dangerous, but the giant insect there blocked the golden rain of bullets!
The giant worm was shrinking, and its tentacles were getting smaller.
Qi An abandoned Wu Han and ran to the spear-wielding youth who was retreating not far away. He grabbed the youth's protective suit, stood on tiptoe, and shouted in his ear!
The boy was stunned, but Qi An was sure he had heard him, so he let go of him, turned around and headed north again, disappearing into the bushes.
The burly man at the new student base hesitated for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "She ran away?"
His voice could only be heard by the boy wearing headphones, but before the boy could answer, a large black lump was thrown out of the bushes.
With a flick of the boy's spear, the object scattered, revealing itself to be a thin, long, soft steel cable!
The White Priestess approached at this moment.
Its pale white form was now clearly visible to everyone.
It was not human-shaped. This white priest only had a human-like face, but its body was like a nine-tailed giant fox from mythology. Each fox tail tip was covered with a dazzling gold, which was naturally generated by the fox, yet it looked as if it was wearing many beautiful gold crystal ornaments.
Mythical creatures...
Many people present were seeing a Wisdom Insect of the White Priest's caliber for the first time, and such thoughts unconsciously popped into their minds.
It seemed to be some higher life form, a mythical creature, that had accidentally manifested in the human world!
