Chapter 46: Not Weaker Than Others
"Captain Chu." Li Yue followed behind Chu Xiong and said excitedly, "Level 4 support has arrived."
"How many people?"
Li Yue hesitated and said, "...one."
"Only one?" Chu Xiong paused, the steel boots of his armor stepping on the concrete floor were particularly harsh: "Give orders to the second and third battalions to shrink the defense line!
Contact that fourth-level brother and tell him that I, Chu Xiong, led the team to cover his rear. This time the monster was too cunning and it was me who was too reckless.
He can come to help, I, Chu Xiong, accept this favor and let him stay alive. If I can survive, I will recognize him as my brother..."
"Boom! Crack!!!"
Bursts of explosions and roars of thunder came from the front line, and red warning words kept flashing on the seismograph shaken by the shock wave.
Chu Xiong's face was filled with solemnity. He ran out of the restaurant that had been converted into a frontline base, holding a long sword. "Did the monster break through the defense line?"
Li Yue chased out holding a white crystal ball, exclaiming, "Captain, look at the reconnaissance crystal!"
Chu Xiong looked back and saw a young man in a black military uniform rubbing a red fireball on the crystal ball. The fireball transformed into a purple stream of light and jumped back and forth among the group of strange beasts with ease.
After all the fourth-level monsters were dead, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the eyes of the monsters gradually became dull, and finally they stood there in a daze.
After that, the young man smiled and looked up, as if glancing at Chu Xiong and the other man, looking extremely weird.
"Holy crap!" Chu Xiong and the guards beside him widened their eyes. "...Awesome!"
…
After the battle, He Zixin flew over from a distant rooftop and released auxiliary skills on Lin Luo to restore his condition.
Lin Luo's face turned pale. In order to control these tens of thousands of strange beasts, he had overused his mental strength. "Contact the commander of this unit and have them deal with these strange beasts as soon as possible. The control time is only two hours at most!"
If you kill a third-level monster yourself, the experience points you get after a 50% discount are only two to three thousand at most, while killing a fourth-level monster can get you 70,000 to 80,000 experience points. It is better to leave these low-level monsters to those in need.
"I've already notified you." He Zixin asked doubtfully, "By the way, what were you grinning at the sky just now?"
She saw Lin Luo smiling and looking up at the sky foolishly, and thought he had a mental problem.
"I……"
Lin Luo was too tired to complain and explained, "Someone in the void is observing me. They must be from the military."
"Are you sure?"
"Well, I followed the network cable... I used my mental power to reach over and take a look. It seems to be a group leader."
He Zixin blinked. Xu Shao was right. This guy was a monster!
Lin Luo landed on the ground with He Zixin. He nodded to the saluting soldiers, then turned around and asked her, "Staff Officer He, is that the crystal ball you held the other day?"
"It's different." He Zixin shook her head and explained, "They should be equipped with white-grade reconnaissance crystals.
After the user's mental power is injected, he can detect the scenery within a radius of at least five miles, or the energy fluctuations within a radius of up to twenty miles.
Although low-level crystals are indeed easy to detect, this is the first time I've encountered a situation like yours."
The military has verified that when exploring white crystals, a level 32 professional can clearly perceive the source of mental power, but cannot look back.
He Zixin couldn't help but be surprised by Lin Luo's level of perversion.
How strong is his mental strength?
"What level is your crystal?" Under He Zixin's skills, Lin Luo's physical strength and mental strength gradually recovered.
"...Purple level." He Zixin had a bad feeling: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Luo chuckled and asked, "Can you lend me your crystal ball? I need it urgently!"
…
Chu Xiong rushed over with his guard company, glanced at Lin Luo who was staring at the purple crystal ball, and his gaze lingered on his epaulettes for a while.
He did not disturb them rashly, but whispered to the soldiers to kill the strange beasts, while he stayed where he was and waited for the other party to finish observing.
He Zixin knew that Lin Luo had set up a soundproofing spell, so she slid the tactical panel on her arm and slowly read out, "Chu Xiong, rank of colonel, graduate of the 138th class of the Imperial Biandu Army Academy, a member of the Chu Group's side branch, has a decent character, and was once listed as an A-level talent."
"Who are you?" Chu Xiong turned his head to look at her epaulettes, somewhat puzzled.
"Central Plains First Combat Sequence, Chief of Staff of the Hunter Corps, my last name is He." He Zixin pushed his glasses and said seriously, "Your regiment headquarters has made a major command error. Two fourth-level professionals suddenly died in the line of duty, and over 300 soldiers were offline at the same time.
The military has some questions, please cooperate with the investigation."
Chu Xiong nodded and said calmly, "Our regimental-level combat sequence is pre-arranged here as the 'eyes', responsible for monitoring the movements of the surrounding alien beasts at night instead of the satellites.
Not long ago, earthquake detectors and high-frequency radars simultaneously detected a giant creature approaching, but only one was shown.
Those two fourth-tier warriors led a battalion to investigate the epicenter, but we failed to realize it was an ambush set by a strange beast."
Lin Luo returned the crystal ball to He Zixin and asked in confusion, "How did those strange beasts avoid detection?"
"According to the feedback from the surviving soldiers," Chu Xiong frowned and said angrily, "those fourth-level beasts are hiding behind the houses, and they cover their feet with magic power when they walk, making no sound.
Besides this, there might also be the magical cover-up of the elite Thousand Illusion Spiders."
Chu Xiong said this and sent the combat information to the military headquarters, and He Zixin downloaded it immediately.
This troop was equipped with a fourth-level warrior and a fourth-level mage. They were originally planning to hunt strange beasts, but they never expected that they would be surrounded and killed by strange beasts instead.
During the battle, the soldiers of the first battalion were attacked from behind by the Thousand Illusion Spiders that ran out of the basement, and the mage in the rear was killed on the spot.
The intelligence of strange beasts is no different from that of humans, and their cunning is no less than that of humans!
"If that's the case, the fault isn't yours." He Zixin typed quickly on the tactical panel and said, "Tomorrow morning, the military will send new fourth-level professionals and new troops.
Go and kill the beast quickly, there is only one hour and fifty-three minutes left."
"Thank you for your trust, sir!" Chu Xiong bowed to her.
"Cough cough..." Lin Luo beside him suddenly coughed lightly.
Chu Xiong understood immediately and bowed solemnly to Lin Luo: "Thank you for your help, sir!"
Lin Luo smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."
Chu Xiong rushed to the battlefield with a long knife. The wounded had almost recovered under the healing skills of the medical team. The remaining more than a thousand people in the regiment moved through the herd of beasts, hacking left and right.
The scarlet blood flowed down the street into the sewer. The soldiers, with red eyes, hacked at the monster with all their might to vent their anger for losing their comrades.
They consciously found targets that matched their own levels, and no one robbed low-level exotic beasts for the sake of experience points.
He Zixin looked into the distance and asked Lin Luo, "In your current state, can you still continue to break into the space crack?"
Lin Luo shook his head: "My physical strength is almost gone, and my mental strength is also struggling.
It would be best to contact a fighter plane to take us there, otherwise we might not be able to deal with the next space rift."
"I've already informed them." He Zixin nodded slightly, as if she had planned everything in advance.
The moonlight was hazy, and the two sat quietly on a bench by the street, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, waiting for the arrival of the fighter planes.
Suddenly, Lin Luo's mouth curled up slightly: "Someone is coming."
He Zixin held the purple crystal ball and looked at him doubtfully: "I... didn't feel it."
"You have to wait a little longer."
"...I know I'm weak, okay?" He Zixin muttered angrily.
Two minutes later, a familiar voice sounded in the distance.
"Are you two here admiring the moon?"
Lin Luo and He Zixin turned around and saw Wu Qi flying over with the fourth-level soldiers of the Hunter Corps.
Then, the rumbling sound of chariots came from a distance. It should be the support troops that Chu Xiong had called for earlier that arrived.
The tanks led the way, followed closely by off-road vehicles and troop transport trucks. Thousands of soldiers filed out, picked up their weapons, and followed Chu Xiong and others in front to charge forward.
