"Huh? The game is divided into two halves?"
After Lu Xiaoyao and Julian ended their video call, she was thinking that since they had left the game so early and couldn't get up to move around, she was about to check if there were any other entertainment options in the game pod when a pop-up window suddenly appeared, asking her to enter the game and wait for the start of the second half.
What are the rules of this game?
"This game is divided into two halves. In the first half, you play as a bug, and in the second half, you play as a human. The human and the bug each play one half."
Just as Lu Xiaoyao was completely confused, she heard the voice of the protagonist she had been talking about earlier coming from outside her game pod.
"Wow!"
Lu Xiaoyao immediately realized that the game pod was not soundproof.
If it's not soundproof, doesn't that mean my voice might have already been heard because of the lack of soundproofing?!
Help!
Upon discovering this fact, Lu Xiaoyao was extremely embarrassed, wishing she could tear the game pod apart with her toes and escape!
But what if the other person didn't hear it?
"Stop yelling, just as you think."
Sure enough, Waldo's words shattered her unrealistic fantasies.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Lu Xiaoyao quickly apologized, and Waldo's tone sounded somewhat melancholy: "You're right, actually."
Lu Xiaoyao: "...Mm."
"I underestimated them." Waldo sighed softly, then looked at the game pop-up invitation and said, "This kind of pre-invitation for the second half of the game means the first half is probably coming to an end."
"Huh? So fast?"
Lu Xiaoyao was taken aback.
“Well, the flow of time inside the game is different from that outside, and—” Waldo paused halfway through his sentence, then said, “You’ve seen how strong Doron is. How many players here do you think can fight him?”
Lu Xiaoyao: "..."
I wanted to argue that she knew many capable people, but then I thought about the characters they got in the game, and it seemed like they were indeed at a disadvantage.
...
Outside the game, Lu Xiaoyao and her friends had already received a pre-invitation to the second half of the game. When they were about to enter the game to prepare, Mingmei and her friends in the game finally gave up their decision to play passively.
After leaving the mining planet, they were already stunned by the various insect corpses and starship wreckage floating in the universe.
Just as they had previously suspected, they were likely to be left behind to be dealt with alone.
In the end, Mingmei followed the trail of the battle in space and found the last five players who were playing as the Zerg.
At this moment, there are only five players left on the field besides them.
These five clearly appear to be a team, otherwise they wouldn't have been surrounded and targeted together.
When they saw Mingmei and her group appear, they were initially pleasantly surprised, but then they remembered the situation and, looking at the surrounding warships and mechs, shouted to Mingmei and her group, "Run!"
According to Mu Chen and Li Yuan's calculations, Mingmei had already figured out that the starships and mechs surrounding the five players were probably all the human players as well.
Look at the enemy's several hundred people, while they are insects, and our side has less than ten of them.
The quantity is significantly different.
Where are we going?
She smiled wryly, knowing that once she left, the five of them probably wouldn't last long. What would the other four have left to do then?
They originally thought they could stall the opponent for as long as possible, but given how the situation has escalated, simply running away is unrealistic.
Why not take a gamble?
"Oh, it's all here."
Originally intending to deal with the five insects further, Doron and Rui'an naturally stopped what they were doing when they saw Mingmei and the others rushing over.
Even when he realized they were going to stay, Doron made a way for them.
The trap set in the encirclement seemed to lure Mingmei into a trap, which brought her back to her senses. Instead of continuing forward, she stopped outside the encirclement.
"Is this the start of a decisive battle?"
Looking at the scene before her, Rui'an couldn't help but chuckle.
The five players who survived were all playing as combat-oriented Zerg, and seeing how agile and nimble they were, Rui'an and Doron decided to let the others practice on them.
So they did spend some time here.
Unexpectedly, the four insects that had run away earlier couldn't resist showing up here first.
Doron subtly rearranged the formation, and Mingmei quickly realized that although she hadn't entered the encirclement just now, the "circle" could move, and she was surrounded again!
"Leave the Black Beetle General behind," Doron ordered in their own channel. "The rest are no longer needed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mingmei saw two streaks of light, one red and one black, flash before her eyes. She immediately assumed a fighting stance, blocking the sudden attack from the left and right.
【Meimei, don't open your armored wings.】
Mu Chen noticed that the black mecha behind Ming Mei was equipped with an armor-piercing round!
At the level of a Black Beetle Insect General, the only part of its body that could be damaged by a single armor-piercing bullet is the part exposed when its armor wings are raised.
【Um.】
Just as the black beetle, which was about to raise its wings in an attack stance, suddenly folded its wings and went into a defensive posture, Doron accelerated and fired his gun at Mingmei before Rui'an could. Then, Mingmei was shocked to find that the red figure had passed right by her!
not good!
Mingmei immediately turned her round body to defend, only to see Hu Yue use her two-meter-long sickle fly-like body to directly block Rui'an's attack on Li Yuan!
"Yueyue!!"
Li Yuan was also surprised that Rui An suddenly attacked him. Mu Chen, on the other hand, directly controlled his body and whipped Rui An's Chaoyun mecha out like a whip!
The Chaoyun mecha is over forty meters long, and the light blade in its hand is over three meters wide. With this slash, the sickle fly's body was split in two, instantly eliminating it from the game.
The light blade in the Chaoyun mecha's hand did not pause; it pierced straight into Li Yuan's Thousand-Eyed Worm, slicing it in half lengthwise.
The siblings' feint was very effective, and their tactics were not outdated. When this happened with Hu Yue and the others, Doron, who had just left only scratches on Mingmei's back mountain with his weapon, turned around and caught Rui'an, who had been pulled away by them. The siblings then turned around and flew towards the other five insects.
"careful!"
Mingmei was too late this time; she had never seen anyone pilot a mech and fight the Zerg so efficiently and effectively.
In the blink of an eye, Mingmei witnessed five insects disappear on the spot.
When the two mechs, one black and one red, finished off the enemy, they turned around, and Mingmei suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Unbeknownst to Mingmei, Mu Chen climbed onto her now enormous insect body, and a soothing spiritual force instantly dispelled Mingmei's fear.
【Meimei, don't be afraid, I will stay with you until the very end, even if I die in battle.】
