Prepare to break out
Chapter 59
"Those who have talismans, get back here!"
But even in the face of the captain's rage, no one spoke.
He was clearly doing the "ghost step" exercise to accumulate energy, and as he jumped, the necklace of the return talisman fell out from his collar, flashing in the sunlight like a fluttering butterfly.
The captain saw it and gritted his teeth: "You fucking..."
"Okay, stop talking!" This time it was the female captain of another car who spoke. She had neat short hair and was holding a huge crossbow in her hand.
This is an orc herder, and the violent bear charging among the monsters is her pet.
She continued drawing her bow and shooting arrows while saying, "If we all stay, there's still hope of getting out. You're the only one who's so great, giving the Return Talisman to Xiaochun. I don't have a Return Talisman either. Do you want to die here with you?"
The male captain was speechless and howled in anger.
With a flick of his wrist, a Gatling rifle appeared on his shoulder. He held the gun and fired wildly at the group of monsters.
“Thump, thump, thump—!”
“Ah ...
Another real soldier transformed into a single-person rocket launcher and pulled the trigger towards the location where the monsters were most numerous.
"call out--"
“Boom!”
The scarlet flames blew up dust and sand, successfully scraping the monsters.
"Fuck you!" the male captain spat out blood and spit, cursing, "If you can't be a soldier king, then you're just fucking garbage!"
Fortunately, the arrow tower attack of the vehicle was able to slightly block a new round of siege by stray monsters.
Just then.
"alright!"
The ghost step that had been doing the three-minute power-building exercise started to speak, and then his body flashed, turning into a blurry figure, and rushed directly towards the group of monsters.
All of a sudden, blood mist erupted from the joints of a large number of monsters. The seven huge monsters in the front row all let out wails, their legs and feet broken, and they fell to the ground, screaming in agony.
"Good job!!" Hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.
But the next second, the ghost step that reappeared was seen falling down in the middle of the road due to exhaustion.
Behind him was the sand scorpion whose foot joints he had removed, with its tail hook raised high.
"don't want!!"
"Run!"
"careful!!"
“Get up quickly!!”
For a moment, all the sounds sounded at the same time.
The female captain drew her bow and aimed at the scorpion's tail.
The male captain stepped forward and rushed out.
Save them! We must save them!
But it's too late.
The sand scorpion's tail hook was too fast, and the sharp tip had already pierced the back of Guibu's head.
A strong sense of powerlessness and anger surged at the same time.
The male captain bared his teeth and glared: "Run!"
Tears of despair have gathered in the corners of his cracked eyes and are about to flow down.
At the critical moment.
A huge monster, no less massive than a sand scorpion, suddenly jumped out from the sand and dust.
It has claws on all four limbs and steps on the sand scorpion's back.
There were also six clawed arms that grabbed the rapidly extending tail.
There were also three hideous, twisted, dark and evil heads, filled with cruel and mocking smiles.
It's simply a more terrifying demon!
After a brief pause, the whole body unfolded.
With a "puff", the sand scorpion was torn into pieces.
Repair Rome!
It’s Xiu Rome!
Like a warrior Shura from hell, he delights in killing and possesses astonishing combat power. On the battlefield, he is a formidable weapon for the Dark Beast Legion to attack, unstoppable!
Everyone's face turned pale in an instant.
With their strength, they would surely die if they faced a four-star Shuroma.
It's raining in this humble house. How could such a powerful dark beast appear on the secondary highway? I'm going to die!
The male captain suddenly stopped and looked at Xuroma who was excitedly tearing his prey apart. With a turn of his wrist, his last magical weapon, a silver broadsword, appeared in his palm.
Ready for close combat.
If you don’t succeed, you will die!
Until he saw Shuroma's green flaming eyes...
The female captain gritted her teeth and said to the people behind her, "Let's go! Anyone with a return talisman, get out!"
"Wait!" The male captain suddenly spoke.
After hearing this "wait", everyone realized that the terrifying Shuroma seemed to have no interest in them at all.
After a brief eye contact, it raised its front paws, let out a "ho ho" roar, and jumped towards the next sand scorpion.
Guibu crawled in front of the male captain with a look of fear on his face.
The male captain still stared at Xiu Luoma and asked, "Does it look different to you?"
Gui Bu was so frightened that his mind went blank and he couldn't tell anything was different.
The female captain answered him: "It is indeed different. It is different from the Xiu Luoma I have seen."
Then other people also reacted.
This Shuroma looked dry, flat, and black, his body like dried bacon.
If you look closely at its body, you will see some holes in the skin, and you can see the dark internal organs inside.
And the eyes are also different. The eyes of dark beasts are mostly yellow, and only high-star dark beasts have other colors.
Shuroma also has a pair of cold, snake-like yellow eyes with vertical pupils, which looks very cruel.
But now, the only color left in Shuroma's eyes is green, a burning flame.
As it moved, the green flames danced up and down, leaving a faint green stream of light in the air.
"What is this?" someone muttered. Those who had never seen the Undead Shuroma in person could not imagine that this was a summoned creature of their own.
They were staring nervously at the Xoloth that was jumping around, tearing and ripping things apart, showing off its art of dismemberment, and were on high alert.
Suddenly, three identical green-eyed Shuromas appeared on the left, right and back.
They were surrounded at some point.
"It's over." Someone said pessimistically.
"Not necessarily." Someone said, "It seems like they are helping us kill monsters."
"Are you dreaming? They are just fighting for the right to eat. Once they kill all these stray monsters, they will eat us." Some people were particularly pessimistic.
Someone was still in a daze, but suddenly woke up with a word: "So what now? Should we run or not?"
Yes! Run!
Ten people, plus two vehicles, quickly gathered together and tried to break through in a direction where there was no Roman repair.
But there were many wandering monsters outside, and they were soon intercepted and stopped.
Just as they were about to set up a battle formation, a Xiuluma jumped back and tore the sand lizard closest to them into pieces.
The ripples of the battle spread to the cars. The resisting sand scorpion lashed a car with its tail, causing the car body to rumble and dent deeply.
The last bit of energy in the protective shield also "crackled" and disappeared completely.
Xiaochun in the car, holding his bleeding head, pushed the door open crookedly and rushed down.
The team of ten gathered together, surrounded by huge monsters on all sides.
There are endless and dense crowds of repairing Rome and wandering monsters. Where can you escape to?
"Let's fight." Finally, the female captain said.
If Shuroma wants to eat them, that will be in the next round. Now let’s unite and clean up the stray monsters first.
The real soldiers rushed out again.
The orc herder's violent bear roared and rushed into the pile of monsters.
The spirit follower Xiaochun raised the staff in his hand, muttered something, and the tip of the staff flashed with electricity.
Gui Bu began to do his power-accumulating exercises again, twisting his body into various strange positions, waiting for the final explosion...
You can’t kill them all, you can’t kill them all.
But the strange thing is that they slowly found a tacit understanding in cooperating with Shuroma.
Xiu Roma, who was already unable to hold on, was able to open up the defense line again with their support.
"Damn it, this battle was actually quite enjoyable!" The male captain was covered in blood, but he was laughing heartily.
"One against thirty! My record has been broken again! Come on! Come on, you bastard! Daddy's here!!"
The male captain, in a killing spree, opened his red eyes wide and looked for stray monsters to kill.
As I was killing, I suddenly realized that it was gone.
Gone! ?
He stood there in a daze, staring blankly at a group of dark beast skeletons that suddenly appeared.
Behind him, someone shouted excitedly, "I know! This is the Undead Army!! Wei Huan's Undead Army!!! Wei Huan is here!!!"
"Fuck!" the male captain cursed, glanced at the cheering crowd behind him, grinned and wanted to curse a few words.
The next second, a strong feeling of weakness came over him. He shook his head and struggled for two seconds.
Everything went dark before my eyes, and I fell onto the sand, losing consciousness.
…
"Captain! Captain! The Captain is awake!!"
When the male captain regained consciousness, he heard Xiao An chattering in his ear.
Although noisy, the cheerful voice reassured the captain.
I recall the last moment before I fell into a coma.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the environment in front of him.
Obviously, this was in his car, in his familiar room, lying on his favorite big bed, with 36D's collectible figures on the bookshelf next to him.
Xiao An was standing by the bed, shouting excitedly. Another team member had already opened the door and rushed out. From a distance, he could be heard shouting, "Captain, wake up."
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a harmonious and happy atmosphere, which was great.
The captain propped up his sore body, glanced at the bandages wrapped around his body, then looked at the dark scenery outside the window, his brows gradually furrowed into a serious shape.
"It's dark now? How long have I been unconscious? Where are the others? Are those skeletons the undead army? Has Wei Huan really come? Oh my god, could that Shuroma be his too?"
A series of questions came out of Xiao An's mouth. He didn't know how to answer them, so he said in order: "You have been unconscious for quite some time. It's not dark yet, but it will be soon. We are indoors now, so it will be dark as it is.
Also, it was Wei Huan who appeared and saved us yesterday."
After hearing the last part, the captain stroked his chin and cursed, "What level is that beast? Why is he so ferocious?"
Two third-level teams, a total of ten challengers, failed to accomplish what was accomplished by this person alone. This made all his efforts over the years seem like a joke.
I feel sad.
Xiao An thought about it and asked him, "Isn't it good to be a little fierce?"
The captain's words were completely blocked. Yeah, what's wrong with being aggressive? Challenging the world requires being aggressive! The only thing that was hurt was his pride.
Tsk!
The captain slowed down, endured the pain all over his body, stood up and walked out.
When they got off the car, they found that they were in a "safe house" in the basement.
This kind of "safe house" exists in every city. It is an extremely rare [Driver Sequence], a hand-made technological item.
Before each supply point is built, a safe house will be provided to the pioneering team. In the difficult living environment, the safe zone is the only place where they can rest assured.
This primary safe house covers an area of only 100 square meters. It originally looked like it was divided into small rooms by wooden boards, but now they have all been demolished and traces of life can be seen everywhere.
Moreover, many cars must have been crammed into this room in the past, and even the alloy walls are covered with scratches.
But there is no one here now.
The passage leading to the ground was opened, and cars and people could walk through. The captain walked onto the ground with the help of two team members.
The sky was still bright, and the heat wave was rolling in and hitting me in the face.
A skeleton walked leisurely past the male captain and turned to look at him.
The male captain forced himself to step back and stare into the eyes of the living skeleton.
Is it a running wolf? But it's bigger than any living running wolf he's ever seen. And why are there bone spurs on its bones? Is it bone hyperplasia?
After staring at each other for a second, the running wolf ran away.
What’s weird is that the captain actually “saw” boredom on the other person’s face?
Seeing emotions in bones, are you crazy?
At this moment, a long leg with white jade joints slid past his eyes, attracting his attention.
His eyes followed, looking upwards.
It turned out to be a big spider with eight legs. It was so huge that it could easily step over houses and vehicles. It walked seemingly slowly, but it was not slow at all.
Behind it, there were seven or eight facehuggers running around.
Then, Shuroma, who was covered in black, walked over from farther away. In the shadow of the ruins, one could not only see Shuroma's wind-dried black thighs, but also the skeletons of violent bears surrounding him, shaking their heads as they walked.
The captain blinked, trying to pull himself out of an absurd and twisted feeling.
He asked with a stern face, "Where are all the people?"
Xiao An said, "In the parking lot."
"Let's go to the parking lot."
…
Fan Tao returned to Challenge World 12 days ago.
The scene of her teammates' death haunted her like a nightmare, keeping her awake at night.
Even though the captain and doctor of the legion had come several times and asked her to rest on Blue Star and wait for rescue before going to challenge the world.
But in the end, one night when he woke up from a nightmare, he resolutely returned to the challenge world.
Because she was worried that some people would return but have nowhere to hide and would not be able to survive the mandatory 10 days.
Now she is the only one who can open the safe house. She cannot save everyone, but she must at least save those who still want to hold on.
It was worth it that she was protected by everyone and stayed in the final mission.
These ten days have not been easy, and the safe house is not a panacea.
The defense of the primary safe house is limited, and the perception shielding against some high-level monsters is very low, so they may be attacked at any time.
The only lucky thing was that the authorities never gave up on them. Not only did they arrange people to rescue them, but their food and supplies for these days were also provided by the authorities.
But even so, the constant threat of death still makes them haggard and unable to find peace even after praying day and night.
Especially when the deadline is approaching.
The official team was unable to break through and recapture the supply point, but the challengers, unable to bear it any longer, would surely return at the last moment.
At that time, we only need a hundred people, not hundreds, and the wandering monsters will form an offensive, regroup at night, and sweep the city.
By then, the safe house will no longer be safe.
I'm afraid those people who come up will also die.
In fact, these days, the official authorities of Blue Star have stopped some challengers who have information from entering the challenge world.
But for many people who make a living as challengers, these dissuasions are of no use at all.
They always develop a mentality of taking chances, thinking that as long as they are luckier than the people around them, everything will be fine.
So, in such panic, Fan Tao anxiously contacted the authorities again and again to confirm the rescue operation.
But when she finally got a response and the rescuers were also in crisis, she despaired.
In fact, she could leave. She had already returned to the Challenge World for 12 days and could return to Blue Star at any time.
But if she leaves, what will happen to others?
If the people who stayed at the supply point on the secondary highway had the ability to save themselves, they would have broken out long ago. Some of the people who stayed behind were kind and friendly uncles, and some were young and innocent girls and boys.
They are all living lives.
Fan Tao always thought, if she waited a little longer, maybe there would be a turning point.
Finally, in such torment, the turning point she had been expecting finally appeared.
At this moment, Fan Tao was standing in front of the cleared parking lot, watching one car after another hurried back to Challenge the World after receiving official notification.
They got out of the car, looked at themselves, and then looked at the skeletons slowly moving around in the ruins.
Finally, all eyes fell on the three people.
It's like having a halo, very dazzling.
The handsome young men stood on the back of the lying ground monster, as if they were in the center of the stage, and all eyes were focused there.
Wei Huan.
Tomb patroller Wei Huan.
Necromancer Wei Huan.
His name gradually became a household name as he repeatedly reached the top of the Challenger APP list.
His professional abilities, everything he has been through, including the image that was captured on camera in a fleeting glimpse, have all become the hottest topics of the moment.
No one doesn't know Wei Huan.
So heroic, so handsome and young, so strong and brave, and so mysterious and lucky.
His body is glowing!
Then, his gaze fell on the young man sitting in a wheelchair beside him.
As Wei Huan became more and more famous, his only partner in the car, Mu Zhong, gradually became the object of everyone's envy.
But compared to Wei Huan, there is relatively less information about Mu Zhong.
The world only knew that he was a dual-career genius who had already served in the military and was already a captain at a young age.
It is also known that he is also a cripple with both legs broken at the root, a loser who should have died directly in the primary challenge and cannot even drive a car.
But now he is beside Wei Huan, even though he is sitting in a wheelchair with his legs empty, he still has a charm that makes people unable to look away.
The rest, another part of the people, cast their scrutinizing or confused gazes on the tall and sturdy man standing behind Mu Zhong, who looked like a bodyguard.
He looks quite old, perhaps in his thirties? Could this be someone Wei Huan and the others met after leaving the stage?
Or "protecting the road"?
Tsk, no matter what your identity is, it doesn’t matter. Being able to stand next to Wei Huan, so close to him, your ancestral graves must be smoking!
…
"Brother Qiang, that's Wei Huan? Is that crippled guy next to him Mu Zhong?"
In a car, someone was sticking to the windshield and looking out. As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but feel sour.
"I heard that Wei Huan's family background is not bad, and that Mu Zhong also said that he has a military background. Is it surprising that he can achieve such success? If I can also get into the Challenger School, I will be better than them."
"You don't even know the fucking scores, and you're going to get in? Huh?"
As the frivolous voice sounded, a puff of smoke sprayed on Lin Xu's face. The young man exhaled smoke from his thin lips and said boredly.
"I told you to study, but you skipped classes to play games. Now you're thinking about going to college. What were you doing in the first place?"
Lin Xu turned around and looked at the tall and thin man next to him. He wanted to retort, but was cut off by those cold peach blossom eyes.
He grumbled aggrievedly, "Studying is so hard. Anyway, I can conquer the world without knowing how to read. Why should I waste my time in the classroom? I might as well make more money if I have that time."
"Idiot!" Brother Qiang cursed, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then said, "Find a way to get out of the convoy and don't let them find you."
"Okay, Brother Qiang." Lin Xu became excited when talking about this. "I'm watching it. It will definitely work. It's a treasure..."
…
"It will be dark in an hour." The female captain glanced at the time again and couldn't help but remind her, "We must hurry up and leave here and send the other group out."
Not far from her were the six cars that initially tried to leave, but for various reasons had to return.
The people in the car were rubbing their hands anxiously and checking the time every few minutes.
Fan Tao frowned: "The number of people and vehicles are not right, and many people haven't come back yet. What will happen to them if we leave?"
The female captain raised her hand to interrupt her: "With so many people staying here, if it gets dark, no one will be able to leave."
As she spoke, she glanced in Wei Huan's direction and said, "Our combat capability here is limited. Once we are besieged, it will be dangerous.
He...is not even at level 4, and in this environment, he can't protect everyone."
The female captain did not want to undermine everyone's confidence, but based on her own experience, she could confirm that with such a battlefield intensity, only a level 4 vehicle could protect everyone.
The problem with the siege monsters isn't their individual strength, but their endless numbers.
The number is already terrifying now, and it will only be more at night.
As for Wei Huan, even if he is extremely strong, he is just one person, and from what we have seen so far, he can only control about 300 undead creatures. This number may not be enough to stop the first wave of monsters besieging the city after nightfall.
The female captain had her own considerations: "We have been waiting for five hours. Those who haven't returned will probably not return at night. We can't let these people's cowardice put more people in danger."
Fan Tao opened and closed her mouth, and just when she was undecided, the male captain, covered in bandages, rushed over.
He heard the last few words and said directly, "Let's go now. Don't hesitate. It will take too long to rush out of here and get rid of it completely. What are you still thinking about? This is not like you."
The female captain pursed her lips, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
Fan Tao was surprised. She was being treated so kindly. She had always thought she was being disliked.
"Captain Wei, Captain Mu, we have agreed to set off now." The female captain did not hesitate any longer and went straight to Wei Huan.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the back of the huge earth beast under their feet, not daring to get too close.
"Okay." It was Mu Zhong who answered him.
He said, "We've already discussed it. Your car will be in the front, and ours will be in the back. The undead creatures will help you clear the way. You need to be careful of monsters that suddenly appear from the sides or from underground. Protect the convoy."
"Okay, we understand."
After briefly explaining the tactics, the operation to leave the city officially began.
