Although the five members of the Endurance Squad have first-class survivability, they also need to adapt to the appropriate environment.
Just like at this moment, facing the mountains and seas of strange beasts, the "Photographer" could just walk away, and the "Fittest" quickly evolved excellent athletic ability, but the professional cleaner "Jinmo" was a little helpless.
If a wave of beasts is composed entirely of one or two level beasts, then "Jinmo" will have the confidence to clear them alone even if there are tens of thousands of them.
But faced with an almost endless tide of beasts from the third to fifth energy levels, the shortcomings of her abilities were quickly exposed.
Even if the field of deprivation of vitality was expanded to the limit, "Jin Mo" could not kill the high-level monsters before they stabbed their claws into his chest.
And her physical aspect is indeed her weakness, a weakness that is difficult to overcome.
Even if their physical fitness far exceeds that of normal humans in Hope City, they are still nothing compared to Wang Xiao or the "fittest".
As for "Wu Xi", he actually didn't care much about the beast tide.
Although the light spots representing the strange beasts were almost as bright as the sun in his biological field vision after he closed his eyes, after he concealed his breath, although he still existed in the same place, the strange beasts would definitely not be able to detect him.
His ability is not so much invisibility as it is the ability to perfectly conceal the existence of his own biofield to achieve a similar effect of concealment.
Logically speaking, this ability would give him a complete sense of security, but in reality, not being able to see meant that he might be knocked down or trampled to death by strange beasts, or even die from fire from his companions on the walls of Hope City.
In order to avoid such a tragedy, "Wu Xi" also chose to evacuate with the team.
But the two of them were indeed not running fast. After running for several kilometers, Wang Xiao, a mature and steady adult man, grabbed the two men, one in each hand.
Therefore, out of the current durable team, there are only three people who are actually running away, namely Wang Xiao, the "Fittest" and Fran who doesn't feel tired yet.
The city wall had appeared not far away. Seeing the densely packed soldiers on it and the various weapons with the waterproof cloth removed, everyone felt relieved.
"Ms. Fran has good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Fran asked while panting heavily as she leaped forward like a leopard.
Her quirky voice also adds a touch of absurdity to the current serious atmosphere.
“Good news.”
"Jinmo", who was stuck in the arm but did not consume too much energy, answered on behalf of the others.
"The good news is that according to Miss Fran's calculations, we are still a full kilometer away from the city wall."
"What about the bad news?"
"Jin Mo" quickly asked.
"The bad news is..."
Fran was interrupted by Wuxi halfway through his speech. He said in a tone of despair:
"The bad news is that the alien beast is only half a kilometer away from us."
Now no one could laugh anymore.
Just when they were planning to squeeze out their last bit of physical strength to increase their speed further, a shadow suddenly flashed past from the distant city wall.
A dark bolt of lightning moved at high speed along the city wall to the wasteland and then moved forward all the way. It jumped up from the ground less than five meters in front of everyone and unfolded into a pure black curtain.
This curtain seemed to absorb all the light around it, as if it was made up of pure shadows, invisible and intangible, with only colors visible.
The curtain quickly tightened, wrapping up Wang Xiao and the other three people, and then disappeared into the ground again like a fish into water.
Fran, who was still running hard, was stunned for a moment, looking at the shadows that were gradually moving away and the nothingness around her, and then she complained in disbelief:
"I haven't gotten in the car yet!"
A thin black thread reached out from Fran's shadow, hooked one of her front paws and pulled her into her shadow.
Fran felt dizzy, as if everything around her was twisting and turning, and the original rules were no longer in effect.
And in this already disordered space, the black shadow became a real substance, like a thin silk ribbon that bound her and moved her in a certain direction.
A few seconds later, a black shadow suddenly appeared above the city wall, and like a whale with an upset stomach, it vomited out four people and a cat, and then transformed into a human form next to it.
Everyone turned around and saw that a fast-moving vanguard beast had already run past the location where they entered the shadow, and then a tide of beasts completely submerged that area.
After standing there in a daze for two seconds, without having time to thank the photographer for saving their lives, "Wuxi", "Jinmo" and Fran began to cling to the edge of the city wall and vomit outside.
Although it only lasts for less than a minute, in a space where all senses are disrupted and even begin to contradict themselves, similar symptoms will occur as long as the senses cannot be completely blocked.
The photographer habitually picked up his water cup and drank the little that was left, and there was no longer any fear in his eyes.
"How are our team members?"
Several people in the Endurance Squad were the original captains. When the beast tide came, they naturally thought of their teammates.
Without the captain's dispatch and command, will there be problems with their coordination?
Upon hearing this, the "Photographer" said calmly:
"I've asked about it. They will be assigned to separate teams to fight, and the remaining personnel of the two teams can take care of each other."
"What about me? Where are all my teammates?"
After listening for a while, Fran also looked at the photographer and asked. She had sent out the evacuation signal through blood connection in advance, but this time it felt a bit intermittent, as if the distance was too far and she couldn't hear clearly.
The Shadow Master glanced at Fran and said:
"The soldiers saw the strange beasts you were hanging out with running around the city wall toward the south."
Fran then breathed a sigh of relief. Those guys were not too stupid. If they ran to the south or north, they could at least avoid the impact to a certain extent.
Her team was still in its infancy at this time, and facing the pressure of the beast tide, all their efforts would be wasted with just one attack.
"Compared to those things, I think we should worry more about ourselves."
The photographer looked around and continued:
"You should have noticed that this is above the main west gate, right?
"In other words, this is the battlefield that bore the brunt of the unprecedented beast tide."
Everyone fell silent. Looking at the fully armed soldiers around them and the heavy weapons that were placed beyond the normal position of the city walls, they also quickly understood.
"Jin Mo", who had recovered from his dizziness, looked at the others and said:
"Since everything is fine, the team will still be under my command for the time being."
She looked at Fran, who had also finished vomiting at her feet:
"As you wish."
