Chapter 179: The Survivors of the Level 5 World
Mu Zhong tilted his head and smiled: "Is everything going well?"
Wei Huan nodded. "Yeah, I thought it would take more time, but I didn't expect to advance in just a day and a half. How about you? Have things been smooth these past two days? See, we've reached the 80th level?"
The 80-line is sure to win and everyone is safe, which is indeed a great thing.
"At this rate, we will reach the bottom of the level by dawn the day after tomorrow."
"I'm afraid we'll have to fight frequently in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, or even tomorrow night. The Dark Beast knows we're at the edge of the world, so they'll make arrangements. We can't reach the end of the level directly, so we'll definitely have a fierce battle before facing the final boss."
"The severity of the world's edge has an impact on us, and it also has a huge impact on Dark Beast Lords who are not of a high enough level. The situation you described may not occur."
"Yeah, we'll just adapt to the situation when the time comes."
"Um."
When the two met, they didn't bother to express their longing for each other, and just talked about the war situation in a few words.
Challenging the world is difficult enough, not to mention that they are now in the assessment world and have to face the siege of the Dark Beast Lord. The cruel situation does not allow them to be careless.
After that, Wei Huan ordered the captains of all combat formations to go to the conference room for a military intelligence meeting.
The housekeeper AI projected a holographic sand table in the conference room. It was a long, rectangular map of the archipelago, floating in the middle of the conference room. You could see the entire picture by standing up.
The sand table very intuitively shows the severe weather at the edge of the world and the densely packed territory of the Dark Beast Lords in the middle.
It seemed as if they could follow the edge of the world all the way to the end of this assessment road.
But in fact, there is only one exit, "Point 1", which is the only passage to the outside world and is located in a safe zone in the middle of this assessment road.
In other words, if they want to pass through the passage, they must leave the world border and enter the middle area which is strictly guarded by the Dark Beast Lord and has set up numerous positions.
Six days have passed since the assessment began. Even if the Dark Beast Lord is dumb, he will figure out their strategy.
During the two days when they left the Dark Beast Territory and operated at the border of the world, I believe that the Dark Beast Lord would also make strategic arrangements against them.
Therefore, once they return to the battlefield, they may face the well-developed Dark Beast Territory.
"...It could be a high-level fourth-level territory, or it could be a fifth-level territory. Dark beasts will definitely intertwine the territories, so we may face interceptions from at least three territories at the same time.
This has become a common tactic of the Dark Beasts on the battlefield.
We don't have to destroy all three lord halls at the same time, but we must have the military strength, or combat power, to deal with three territories, or even more."
The person responsible for speaking this time was a military expert on the vehicle. As a logistics unit, their main job was to collect battlefield data and allocate combat power.
The middle-aged man in his forties said: "We are tentatively scheduled to arrive at our destination tomorrow night, and we may be greeted by the first wave of attacks.
According to the time of the Dark Beast's territory development, without considering the collection of materials, during this period of time, the Dark Beast can at most own a level 4 medium territory.
The only difference is whether the barracks will be upgraded to level five in advance, or whether the barracks will be abandoned and the Hero Temple will be upgraded.
"Also," he paused, "Dark Beast Kings usually have Miracle Buildings, which significantly improve Dark Beasts. So, we figured that no matter how many Dark Beast Kings arrive, they'll prioritize upgrading Miracle Buildings. This will cause their Barracks and Hero Temple upgrades to lag behind."
As long as we can reach the Dark Beast King's territory before noon on the eighth day, we might be lucky enough to encounter a territory with fully upgraded Miracles, but all other buildings are only level four, or even only level three."
At this point, the military intelligence expert's eyes lit up with excitement.
After all, with their combat effectiveness, facing a territory that is only level three would not be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
The Dark Beast Clan, if we kill one less, the Dark Beast Clan will be significantly weakened.
"Therefore, the speed at which we attack the city will directly determine the strength of the Dark Beast King Clan we will face in the end."
After saying the last sentence, the military intelligence analyst shut up and gave everyone time to think and absorb it.
Then he added, "Of course, there's a chance they won't just build miracles as we hope. In that case, we must be prepared to face the possibility of fifth-tier troops and fifth-tier legendary heroes. Aside from the Dark Beast King and several of his heirs who possess pseudo-god-level heroes, the Dark Beast King's heroes are almost all legendary heroes. This is something we must keep in mind."
"Thank you for your analysis." Mu Zhong was mainly responsible for military intelligence, and these materials also reflected his efforts. He nodded to confirm that what he said was completely correct, and then looked at Wei Huan.
Military analysis is just analysis, including various suggestions, which are just suggestions. The specific way to fight depends on Wei Huan.
When he finally makes up his mind, whether it is right or wrong, the goal of everyone in the car will become one, without any hesitation.
Everyone looked at Wei Huan, waiting for his decision.
Wei Huan also knew how important the decision he was making was. He didn't rush to speak, but instead asked, "Continue the analysis. I want to know the estimated troop expenditure we'll need to deploy when facing territories of varying combat power."
I also need to know what is the most appropriate level and amount of Bloodlust to use in an intense battle if I want to end it quickly."
The combat effectiveness of Wei Huan’s undead army is of course one of the data that must be collected.
Wei Huan held back, but he also showed off a lot. After all, it was three pieces of pseudo-god equipment and a title, which brought a huge 100% bonus.
After staying at the War Clan headquarters for about a month, the number of his undead has now reached an alarming level.
But what he can show so far is only a part of it.
Just in case, of course.
In addition, even if he only has a portion of his combat power, he still has the ability to crush others in this world.
Everyone thought he could fight the monster in the silver treasure chest alone.
In fact, if he exerts his full strength, he should be able to kill a gold-level monster.
Then, once the attributes of Mu Zhong and Dou Lin are added, and the combat power of those whose cars are upgraded to Sequence Five is added.
Wei Huan felt that there was a great possibility that he could snatch another fragment from Mofidi's tentacles.
The only one who knew his true strength was Mu Zhong.
In this world, Mu Zhong is the only person he trusts the most.
So every time when others are extremely anxious, Mu Zhong is always the most calm one.
Of course, he truly understood Wei Huan.
When Wei Huan asked this, Mu Zhong knew that Wei Huan was going to silently convert his combat effectiveness.
If necessary, he can reveal more of his strength, as long as he can reach the territory of the Dark Beast King faster as planned.
Therefore, the calculation of this data is very important and cannot be taken lightly.
Mu Zhong and his men made calculations on the spot, and a military intelligence meeting lasted two hours before they roughly decided on the general direction.
If a new royal family had not appeared outside the car, this meeting would probably have continued.
Halfway through the battle against the Sea Beast King, Team Xue successfully advanced to Sequence Five.
He couldn't wait to enter the battlefield, but was finally suppressed by Li Xue. "Go back and adapt to your new power. Don't try to profit from DKP just because you see it."
Captain Xue felt wronged, but he didn't. Fighting was all about adapting to new forces. But he listened to his wife and went back obediently.
As soon as the episode ended, the Sea Beast King fell down with a wail, contributing a core material.
This material didn't even have time to warm up in the warehouse before it was exchanged for DKP the next moment.
There are too many people in the cars waiting to advance to level five, and many cars just lack a core material to be upgraded.
There is such great pressure now, and when he thinks about the 1,001 people getting on the level 6 vehicle, Wei Huan feels a subtle sense of suffocation.
But Wei Huan was wrong.
On other tanks, even Fang William's tank, only the core team would use the distribution system, giving priority to obtaining level five materials.
It's not like this car, where you can exchange it as long as you have DKP. Of course, it's because it's easy for Wei Huan to kill royals, and there's a Feng Shui treasure land like the Assessment Road, so he doesn't think a core material would be so precious.
For other cars, killing a gold-level monster requires a price, and they will not do it easily.
If it weren't for the time limit on the assessment world and the trouble caused by the Dark Beast King Clan, Wei Huan would not have planned to leave.
Kill the Sea Beast King and continue forward.
The radar map on the vehicle continued to flash, and the locations of all treasure chests and ruins within the scanning radius could be seen.
No ruins were left unexplored, and no treasure chests were left undiscovered. If you were to say the only function of the Ghost Crow now is to plow the land and open treasure chests.
Even in the ocean, they do not have physical properties and are still not affected by the pressure of the ocean.
At the bottom of the screen, supplies obtained from opening treasure chests will pop up from time to time.
At two o'clock in the morning, when everyone was drowsy, the latest supplies popped up on the screen.
[Obtain Gold-level Wisdom Potion X1]
[Obtain Gold-level Wise Man's Robe X1]
[Obtain Gold Level Strength Boots X1]
【Get Gold Jewelry X1】
[Obtain tire upgrade blueprint (six) x1]
【Get Sea Dragon Beard X1】
【get……】
…
Before I could take a closer look, the car horn rang out sharply.
In less than a minute, all challengers from all combat departments were in place.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong both rushed over, and on the way down, the housekeeper AI reported the detailed situation.
When they opened the treasure chest, they accidentally opened a gold treasure chest, which meant that they would face a gold-level treasure chest monster.
Both of them looked a little unhappy. If anyone else was interrupted during their rare short break, they would have the same bad face as them.
But right now, facing the pursuit of the golden treasure chest monster is indeed very important, and it requires the participation of two people.
"What is the golden treasure chest monster?" Mu Zhong asked the AI butler curiously.
The current progress of human development of the fifth-level world has not yet reached the point where we can come into contact with the core civilization of this world.
Gold-level treasure chests have a chance of containing the remains of this world, but no one has ever dared to open them. Even Fang William wasn't sure if he could defeat a level 5 survivor.
If damage is inevitable, then wait until the damage is smaller before touching these Pandora's boxes.
"The other party is moving very fast in the sea, and seems to have some ability to shield electronic scanning. I can't capture its specific image for the time being." The AI butler replied.
This made Mu Zhong even more curious: "Could it be the water element? The core civilization of the fourth-level world is the ice element, so this world should be the water element. It merges into the ocean, so we can't see it."
"I've lost track of it now. Be careful, it might be around the vehicle."
"Activate the shield."
"The protective shield has been activated. Increase the power now. Also, I suggest that the commander summon a grandmother-level earth beast mother to escort the vehicle. The combat power of the gold-level treasure chest monster is very high. Now enter the first level combat readiness state. Please give instructions."
As the last sentence was spoken, everyone, including Mu Zhong, looked at Wei Huan, and found that Wei Huan's expression was very strange. It was a deep alertness, but it seemed... not very nervous.
Mu Zhong was a little confused and was about to ask him when he heard the AI butler say, "There's a battle going on ahead, there are signs of magical riots, and the water is flowing abnormally.
Scanning...
It was discovered that the Dark Beast Lord's troops, about 100 water elementals, were besieging a human.
Simulated screen projection is turned on..."
As the last sentence fell, a fierce battle in the deep sea appeared on the large projection screen in front.
Hundreds of water elements spun out of the whirlpool in the water and surrounded a woman in the middle.
The woman had an oriental face, naked, with black hair spread out in the water. The black hair was five or six meters long, like her weapon, with vitality, attacking the water elements surrounding it.
She was obviously not a human, but because she looked so much like a human, it was inevitable that everyone who saw her would be wary and at the same time curious.
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan again and confirmed that Wei Huan's expression had not changed. He was indeed alert and relaxed.
What does this mean? Mu Zhong doesn't understand.
As the chariot approached rapidly, it was about to collide with the "humans" and water elements fighting fiercely in front.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, they subconsciously looked at Wei Huan.
Wei Huan finally spoke.
Wei Huan said, "Bump into it."
These three short words instantly broke the confusion in everyone's mind.
Yes, no matter how much she looks like a human, she is not a human.
The challenging world is full of crises, and everyone except your comrades and compatriots are enemies.
When facing an alien race, even if she is a real human being who is going through hardships, there should be no sympathy or hesitation.
Wei Huan's words broke the barrier. As the chariot opened the protective shield and rushed forward, the naked woman seemed to have suddenly discovered them and then been treated mercilessly. She suddenly curled up her body and raised her hands to cover her face.
The reaction to this set of movements is more human-like.
I know I shouldn't do this, but I always feel like it's not right to bump into it without thinking.
Immediately afterwards, the chariot really crashed past the woman.
Humans may have various ideas, but AI will not. They will only firmly execute orders.
Then a surprising scene appeared.
The chariot moving at a speed of 2600 kilometers per hour on the seabed, especially with a protective shield on top, did not smash the woman. She was in a posture that made all men have to politely look away, but couldn't help but secretly look at her, as if she was pressed against the windshield.
The snow-white moving body lay charmingly before everyone's eyes, and the face, which was not very pretty but extremely pleasing to the eye, was showing a painful expression.
She pounded on the window as if struggling, she screamed, and then the expression on her face turned into pleading.
It's like saying: Stop, please, I feel so uncomfortable, I don't want to die, please don't kill me.
This is an expression and look that can touch people's hearts, and it means anything is fine as long as I am alive.
Her eyes seemed to speak.
Liu Chengzhi was the first to turn around and look at Wei Huan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Then it was cousin Mu, staring at the dark circles under his eyes, his brows so tight they could pinch a fly to death.
Then Lin Xu muttered to himself: "She's so weird, like a female ghost, but I just feel sympathy for her. What's going on?"
"It's something mental, I guess." It was Captain Xue who said this. Ever since advancing to Sequence Five, his chest muscles have become exceptionally "developed," sticking out like a giant rooster all day long. "The impact on me is very limited. There are too many strange and illogical things about her appearance, so I definitely can't ignore it. But we can't let her continue to interfere with us like this. We need to find the problem."
Cousin Mu nodded and said, "Those with low Sequences will be severely affected. Be careful of the scholars and experts on the train. Some of them are even only Sequence One."
The Butler AI said, "We are continuously monitoring the vehicle. Any unusual movement has been locked. We are also conducting a search inside the vehicle... There are no signs of foreign objects intruding."
"There's no one inside the car, it's outside." Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan, "Send the undead out?"
Wei Huan nodded: "Okay."
Mu Zhong asked him again in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Wei Huan said, "It's definitely a Spiritual type. As the core civilization of a Level 5 world, and a Golden Treasure Chest monster, its combat power shouldn't be bad. It does have an impact on low-Sequence challengers, so we'd better kill it first."
Mu Zhong looked again at the "woman" who was still lying on the windshield with a look of pain and grievance on her face.
Honestly speaking, it is obviously unrealistic to say that the core monsters in the fifth-level world can only seduce. The more superficial the display of weakness, the more vigilant one should be.
As they were talking, everyone saw a portal appear right in front of the vehicle. Xuroma jumped out of the portal and grabbed the woman's arm.
The woman's expression changed, and she scratched out with her backhand. Everyone saw that her nails instantly grew longer, and light-colored scales appeared from the tips of her fingers.
Facing Shuroma's attack, the woman also displayed her fighting ability.
The body shook off and was covered with a layer of scales. Fins emerged from the elbows and other places, and there were sharp bone spurs on the fins, which should have the ability to fight.
A flowing fishtail like a ribbon of silk grew on its ankles, but its feet did not turn into a fishtail as everyone expected. Its legs were always separated and did not affect its swimming speed in the water.
Or perhaps it wasn't swimming at all, but rather the use of water magic.
It can swim in the water without any movement, and it is very fast.
At the same time, the power of water gathered in her body, forming a vortex that trapped all the Shuroma coming out of the portal.
This scene was very similar to the battle with the water element when she first appeared. It turned out that she was not surrounded by the water elements, but she controlled the water elements.
Now she used the same method against the Shuroma, but she didn't kill them. She seemed to always maintain a peaceful attitude, and finally even faced the chariot head-on, her mouth opening and closing as she said, "Human, I am a survivor, not an enemy. Let's talk."
She seemed to be trying her best to show her sincerity, even opening her arms in a gesture of surrender.
But in fact, the scene before us is extremely terrifying when we think about it carefully.
While she was communicating with them, she was still moving at the same speed as the chariot.
Even if the chariot's current speed is reduced to more than a thousand miles per hour, it should not be something that the "monster" can catch up with.
The fact that she can be so calm shows that this tribe is very powerful in the ocean.
She also seems to be very intelligent. She will try to negotiate with humans and use the "surrender" behavior to gain their trust.
"I really won't resist?" Mu Zhong muttered to himself, then looked at Wei Huan, "What do you think?"
Wei Huan said, "I don't believe it."
Wei Huan knew everything, but he couldn't say much. He could only use his attitude to tell everyone not to abuse his sympathy.
As Wei Huan finished speaking, more portals appeared in front of the woman, and densely packed undead soldiers emerged from them.
They rushed forward ferociously and completely submerged the woman.
The sea water surged wildly, and the woman seemed to be trying her best to resist, but facing the huge number of undead army, her battle gradually became powerless.
Suddenly she rushed out from the encirclement of the undead, banging on the windshield with blood all over her body, shouting for help.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, turning into round pearls that fell on the windshield, making a crisp "da da da" sound.
In contrast to the pitiful scene of the woman is the scene of the undead behind her chasing her relentlessly with hideous faces.
The ferocious-looking Xiu Luoma grabbed the woman's hair and pulled her out of the car again.
Her hands and feet were pulled apart fiercely, and the huge force was obviously going to tear her apart. She finally made a move, and blisters appeared out of nowhere, knocking Shuroma away.
A large number of Xuroma flew out, but no one died. She seemed to be holding back at this time, resisting the attacks of Xuroma while yelling at the people in the car.
Her voice seemed to travel directly into my mind, and I could understand it no matter how fast or complex her words were. "I have no hostility towards humans. We are Atlanteans. We also came from the Blue Planet many thousands of years ago. I do not wish to harm you. Please give me time to speak."
"Atlantis?"
"No way? The legendary lost kingdom?"
"It's indeed a mermaid."
"Don't believe them. Even if they are from the same Blue Planet, they are a previous civilization and probably won't be very friendly to us."
"Don't waver, listen to the boss."
Fortunately, the scene outside the car was not projected onto the square, and only the people in the cab saw it.
There are 20 parking spaces, and everyone is here except Dou Lin.
There are 10 veteran team members and 10 new team captains assigned by the team, including two experts and a military analyst.
Seeing the tragic struggle in front of them, some people were inevitably shaken, but they were quickly stopped by rational people.
"This is a challenge to the world! She's the Golden Treasure Chest Monster! This is her method! Just calm down! She's just trying to gain our sympathy. Just watch, her true colors will be exposed soon!"
But before she could finish her words, the woman who was unable to dodge was grabbed by Shuroma from behind. Shuroma's black nails tore open the woman's snow-white skin, and her white scales and gushing blood floated past his eyes.
"ah!"
The woman cried out in pain and struck out in anger, but it only pushed Shuroma away without hurting her.
She looked back at the car painfully to confirm that there was no movement inside. Her expression finally became sad, and there was a deep despair that could not be understood.
Then she relaxed herself and gave up resistance, as if she had accepted her fate, and no longer avoided Xuroma's tearing.
“!!”
In front of everyone's eyes, the woman was truly turned into minced meat, and her bright red blood was turbulent in the deep sea and gradually dissipated.
The car was dead silent.
Everyone opened their eyes wide to look at the slowly falling hair, and the cold and cruel undead that surrounded her on all sides.
Why?
Why?
