[Collapse] seemed to be particularly fond of solid synthetic metals. Although the rate of swallowing was not as fast as when swallowing other substances, Tao Sai could vaguely feel its joy.
Ten minutes later, a hole was drilled through the ceiling, and through the hole one could see that the thickness of the ceiling was about one meter. Tao Sai stood under the hole and looked up, and saw a wide space on the second floor of the bridge. As long as they got out of here, they would be free.
The collapse occurs silently, so her actions should not be detected now.
Tao Sai calmed his mind and remained calm, allowing [Collapse] to continue widening the passage.
Half an hour later, Tao Sai shone the flashlight and found that the diameter of the passage had reached about 70 centimeters, which was wide enough for several of them to get out.
She immediately deactivated the singularity, calling Cheng Li over to help her with some cushioning. Then, she reached for the edge of the hole with both hands and deftly pushed herself up. Cheng Li and the other three followed closely behind, their movements smooth and silent.
There was no one in the corridor on the second floor of the bridge. Tao Sai guessed that they had concentrated all their forces at the doorway of the secret room and never guessed that they would directly drill a hole in the ceiling of the secret room.
The hardness of the material of the secret room's walls is indeed incredible, and they are one meter thick. If it weren't for the [collapse], they might have been trapped to death inside.
Tao Sai walked carefully along the wall, turned the corner, and walked about ten meters along a passage to reach the cabin on the far side of the bridge.
Open the porthole and jump out. It is about 10 meters high and you will see the sea surface.
Tao Sai stood by the window with his hands on his back, looking out at the vast sea shrouded in the night, his brows furrowed.
How to run?
Without any skills or a boat, jumping directly into the sea would be tantamount to suicide. Unable to use any skills in the dense fog, it was impossible to swim back to shore. Even with her superior physical fitness, swimming ten kilometers in the sea with waves rising higher than the last was impossible.
If she swam forward and out of the fog, she could use [Gravity Adaptation] to float herself, but her energy would eventually run out. After all, she didn't have an engine installed on her butt to provide herself with power.
It was even more impossible to let Tuantuan use [Space Warp] to come back to pick her up. They had barely escaped from danger, and coming back would be like sending her off.
The situation is not optimistic. Although we are relatively safe now, once that group of people realize what is happening, they will definitely conduct a carpet search on the ship and we will not be able to escape.
Tao Sai pressed his temples hard with both hands, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind: kill them all.
The "Ureshino" is equipped with offensive weapons - rocket launchers, as well as dozens of armed militants. It is a huge hidden danger to most friendly players. Every shell on it may hit an innocent refugee ship.
So why keep it? Just go all out and let it sink.
Although that man wasn't the true leader yet, he was the nominal leader of Jiange, so his status should be quite high. She couldn't reach the power behind Jiange for the time being, but it was necessary to make a show of force.
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell them: Be more restrained, I'm not a pushover either.
Like being a bitch? Then give them a little Tao shock!
Tao Sai already had some ideas in his mind. He had to make arrangements in a hurry and seize the initiative before the group of people noticed him.
She did what she thought and moved quickly, calling Cheng Li and the other three to follow her. With her understanding of the structure of the fourth-level shelter ship, she moved between the cabins of the "Ureshino" with ease.
Looking at the Chinese characters on the wall, Kobayashi Nobukazu's scalp tingled and a bad premonition instantly filled his heart. He suddenly thought of the deep pit on the concrete road and the minced meat paste he had imagined out of thin air. His chest felt so stuffy that he could hardly breathe.
He glanced at the Jiange Alliance channel and saw a few scattered messages.
[One Sword, One Thought (Lv4)]: Boss, what's going on?
[One Sword Light Chills Nineteen States (Lv4)]: Don't even think about it, just beat that bitch up hard and that's it.
[One Sword One Thought (Lv4)]: It would be great if I could record a video 233333
[One Sword Cuts Mountains and Rivers (Lv4)]: You kid!
…
He thought about his wording before speaking. In fact, he was not very willing to ask his subordinates for help, but at this time, safety was the most important thing. He had to kill Tao Sai without any mistakes.
[One Slash to Kill the Azure Dragon (Lv4)]: All the people on board, turn on the searchlights, if you find anyone on the sea, shoot them to death.
[One Sword Slashes the Azure Dragon (Lv□□), come here and bring half of the people with you.
[Wind (Lv4)]: Yes
Ten minutes later, Gao Shanfeng came from the Tianyuan with twenty elite soldiers armed with live ammunition to reinforce.
Kobayashi Nobukazu speculates that Tao Sai couldn't have jumped into the sea. While the exact nature of her S-rank divine skill remains unclear, it's likely that the hole in the chamber's ceiling was created through it. It's generally believed that a divine skill capable of shattering even the strongest materials would be unsuitable for escaping at sea.
All signs indicate that they are still on the ship.
The fourth-class refuge ship "Ureshino" is huge, with many cabins and many areas for hiding, but space is limited after all. As long as a carpet search is carried out, even an embroidery needle can be found.
The ship had five floors. He arranged thirty elite soldiers to guard the entrances and exits on the deck level, twenty to guard the staircases on each floor, and then another twenty to search room by room, starting from the top floor. If there was any unusual movement, they would immediately report it through the headset of the [command and control system].
There were strong beams of searchlights constantly shining on the sea surface around the hull of the "Ureshino", and countless pairs of eyes were watching her, making it impossible for her to escape.
Kobayashi Nobukazu was waiting on the deck, but he did not follow because the enemy was in the dark and might be ambushed. Although he was confident that he could react, he was unwilling to take any more risks at this critical juncture.
Having suffered a loss once, he has learned from his mistakes and only seeks stability.
The elite assassins quickly searched the top platform, and then searched the top-floor cockpit, captain's room, storage room and other rooms.
Ten-man teams searched both sides of the corridor. Those in the front, armed with thermal imaging devices, scanned every corner. Any creature emitting heat ahead would be instantly displayed on the screen, even the most camouflaged. The team members behind them, armed with submachine guns, moved cautiously, their advances, retreats, and cover coordinated with each other. Their five senses simultaneously extended outward, allowing them to aim and fire immediately if any unusual movement occurred.
The top floor was searched, but no one was found.
After reporting the situation to the headset, they went downstairs and searched the cabin on the second floor.
"Xiaofeng, I'm really sorry to bother you so late today." Kobayashi Nobukazu tilted his head and asked the girl in loose Taoist uniform next to him.
Gao Shanfeng whispered, "It's okay."
"You've been looking forward to the duel with her for a long time, right? It will be handed over to you in a moment." He asked with a smile.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and an explosion sounded from a cabin on the second floor.
The elite death squad quickly reported into the headset: "We were attacked, someone threw explosive grenades at us."
"How many people? Why didn't they shoot?" asked Kobayashi Nobukazu.
"I didn't see anything," the assassin reported truthfully. He was scanning the room with a thermal imaging detector when, as he returned to the corridor, a blast grenade, with its ring pulled, was thrown in front of him from nowhere. The grenade had been timed to explode the moment it hit the ground, leaving them no time to react. The assassin in the front, using his trained instincts, threw himself on the grenade in seconds, his body shattered in two. Only one man was killed.
"Idiot! Pay attention to the vents!" Kobayashi Nobukazu shouted into the headset.
On the second floor, apart from the room, the only place to hide is the ventilation duct at the top of the corridor, but these guys don't have the ability to think and can only search mechanically.
As soon as they received the order, they took immediate action and raised the thermal imaging detector. The image indeed captured a unit emitting heat and moving at high speed in the ventilation duct.
The muzzles of the submachine guns were all pointed at the ventilation ducts, and bullets were fired densely, chasing the moving units.
While shooting, they quickly chased after them, but more explosive bombs were thrown from the gaps in the pipes along the way. They could only passively dodge and those holding explosion-proof shields stood in front to avoid being hit harder.
The suicide squad reported the situation in real time through the headset. When they chased along the corridor to the end of the ventilation duct, the unit disappeared. As a result, the 20-person search team lost 3 people and another 4 were injured.
If they continue like this, they might lose all their men before the search is finished.
Kobayashi Nobukazu signaled them to stay where they were. The ventilation ducts were interconnected, leading to every floor and every room, and it would be very difficult for people to hide in them.
As a player, familiar with the structure of a Level 4 refuge ship, it was normal for her to hide in the shadows. The assassins, however, were rigid-minded and inflexible when faced with unexpected situations. They had no weaknesses in a head-on attack, but faced with this kind of guerrilla warfare, they were simply being led by the nose.
Find a way to force them out.
Kobayashi Nobukazu pondered for half a minute, then came up with an idea. He gave an order into the headset: "Take your men to the third floor immediately and guard the ventilation fan."
Then he switched to another frequency and said, "Go prepare the tear gas and release it all into the blower."
The fan is located in a small room behind the captain's room. When the high-power fan is working, it will send natural wind to each cabin to ensure air circulation.
Since they were hiding in the ventilation ducts, it didn't matter. He would just release tear gas into the fans, and the pungent smell would fill the entire cabin. He had purchased this batch of tear gas from the military. The smell was unbearable, causing involuntary tears, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Prolonged exposure would be excruciating, and the gas also contained a stun agent.
When the fans send the poisonous gas in, their living space will be further compressed. They will have only one way left, which is to run to the deck frantically to get some fresh air.
He only needs to command his death squad to guard the exit, load the bullets, and aim at the target that is about to rush out.
The elite death squad carried a whole box of tear gas into the small room and distributed gas masks. After the masks were put on, each person picked up a bottle and pressed the spray button towards the bellows of the blower.
"Squeak—"
The entire bellows was instantly filled with white smoke. Driven by the fluid generated by the motor, the white smoke was rushed into the ventilation duct system. A steady stream of gas quickly flowed into every room in the cabin along the pipes. The entire cabin of the "Ureshino" was instantly filled with a pungent smell.
The gas penetrated every corner, and his orders came so quickly that they couldn't react in time.
Kobayashi Nobukazu had a slightly smug look on his face. He looked at the entrance to the cabin and put on his gas mask. The gas also evaporated onto the deck. He only smelled a trace of the odor, and it instantly made his nose sore.
Five minutes later, a series of intense gunfire suddenly rang out in the cabin, and the voice of a soldier came from the headset: "We found them! They are on the deck level!"
Kobayashi Nobukazu unconsciously clenched his fists, "Fire!"
There was a loud sound of gunfire, crackling like firecrackers during the Spring Festival. Dense spots of light and sparks flickered in the white smoke, and almost no human figures were visible.
"Report the situation." Kobayashi Nobukazu urged.
"They've escaped to the basement level and are now near the corridor. Requesting support," the assassin spoke into the headset. His voice was muffled due to the gas mask he was wearing.
"Everyone go to the corridor on the first floor below ground level to provide reinforcements!" Kobayashi Nobukazu ordered.
Except for the ten death warriors guarding the blowers on the third floor, all the people guarding the deck passages put on gas masks and reinforced the target location.
Kobayashi Nobukazu's mouth curled up slightly under his gas mask, and he couldn't help laughing. Although the assassin who had just reported to him had a muffled voice due to the gas mask, he could still faintly tell that he was not the assassin from the "Ureshino".
There is also a very important point. The fifty elite death warriors are divided into groups. Only the leader of each group is qualified to report in the headset, and that frequency point is obviously not the leader.
They must have killed the assassins, taken away their gas masks and headsets, and created a disguise.
As for the purpose, it was obvious, to lure the elite assassins away from the deck. If nothing unexpected happened, the next step would be to launch a surprise attack on him.
very good.
He was very clear-headed. He would use the same tactic against the enemy.
"Two were killed, and the remaining three escaped to the bottom cabin." The disguised voice in the headset was still reporting calmly.
"Chase them!" he roared passionately. "Shoot them all to pieces! No matter the cost!"
The more excited he is, the more deeply he has fallen into the trap.
If I'm not mistaken, a sneak attack is on the way.
Kobayashi Nobukazu anxiously inquired about the situation at the scene. He tilted his head slightly without noticing, and caught a glimpse of a figure through the lens of his mask out of the corner of his eye.
"Is that woman here too? If she..." Kobayashi Nobukazu was halfway through his words when, in a flash, he nimbly turned sideways and dodged a bullet aimed at the back of his head.
He dove for cover, dodging the second round of bullets, but the third round hit him in the abdomen. Fortunately, he managed to hide behind the cover.
Tao Sai stood on the edge of the deck, hooked his legs on the railing, used his waist to stabilize his body, and aimed at the bunker with his gun in both hands.
She had just used [Collapse] to break open the watertight porthole in the lower hold. Outside the porthole was a dense swarm of searchlight beams. Using the Ureshino's communication channel, she found the perfect moment and quickly climbed up from the lower hold.
Covered by the sound of gunfire, she moved very quietly and fired her gun extremely quickly, but still failed to blow his head off.
The searchlights of other refugee ships were shining towards the Ureshino. She could not stay at the deck railing for long and climbed onto the deck.
The shelter is a pile of metal-shelled cargo boxes, about two meters high.
Going around behind the cover was too passive, so Tao Sai chose to jump directly up and shoot him dead from the top of the cover.
She took a five-meter run to get up, kicked the side of the cargo compartment for leverage, then placed her elbows on the top of the compartment, pushed hard, and quickly climbed up.
The situation was not optimistic. Without any hesitation, she took two steps forward with the gun, searching for the target behind the cover, with her index finger on the trigger, ready to fire.
Tao Sai glanced at the top of the short-haired head, and then just as she was about to pull the trigger, she felt someone grabbing her calves and pulling her hard. She lost her balance and fell backwards. Her finger had already pulled the trigger, but the shot was fired into the sky.
She reacted the moment she fell backward, using her core strength to quickly flip her body sideways, supporting herself on the top of the cargo compartment with her elbows, pulling her feet back, and then quickly pulling herself up. However, she had shaken the gun off and dropped it onto the deck.
Under the cargo compartment, a girl in a white Taoist robe calmly picked up the gun and threw it into the sea.
Kobayashi Nobukazu also stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his butt, and was unharmed. The third bullet did hit his abdomen, but he had put on a bulletproof vest in advance.
He clapped his hands calmly: "Miss Tao, you are very impressive, brave and resourceful..."
His words were interrupted and his body had to roll forward to avoid Tao Sai's stab from the sky.
During the battle, Tao Sai was in no mood to say a word. He ignored everything irrelevant. He only had his opponent in his eyes and only one goal in his mind, which was to kill him.
Even though she had lost her gun, she still had the dagger tied to her calf. She would not let the weapon interfere with her actions and only held on to the belief that she must kill.
One strike missed, and the next strike was immediately followed, but he dodged it again. The sharp tip of the knife stabbed into the metal deck with such force that sparks flashed at the point of contact. If the knife had stabbed him, it would have pierced through.
Kobayashi Nobukazu retreated to the side of the girl in the Taoist uniform. Tao Sai stabbed out with a knife, and she kicked Tao Sai's forearm suddenly, neutralizing all the force of the knife.
Tao Sai's entire arm went numb instantly. She had learned from the previous lesson and did not let go of the dagger even though her hand was weak.
She switched the knife to her other hand, shook her numb arm, gritted her teeth and endured it, then attacked again like a storm.
Gao Shanfeng stood on one leg, raised her hips, leaned her body backward, and turned her other leg into her weapon. She dodged the blade accurately and quickly, kicked Tao Sai's forearm, pulled back her leg, and kicked out again, kicking Tao Sai hard in the waist, kicking her two meters away.
Tao Sai fell to the ground, endured the pain in his body, quickly turned over and got up, on guard.
Because at the moment the body flew out, she saw that after kicking, the leg was quickly retracted and rushed towards her.
Tao Sai stood up, half-crouched, shielding her face with her arms. She was met with a powerful knife-hand strike, which slashed her arms crisply. The pain was excruciating for a moment, and the accompanying force directly knocked her over again.
The opponent also did not give her a chance to breathe. The moment Tao Sai's back touched the ground, a flying kick came.
She was barefoot from beginning to end, but the lethality of her feet was not reduced at all. She kicked Tao Sai above the heart and below the throat with all her strength. The moment she kicked him was like being hit by a lead shot weighing dozens of kilograms.
A few seconds later, Tao Sai felt his bones breaking, the broken bones piercing into his flesh, his throat felt fishy, and warm liquid kept coming out of his throat.
She did not move her feet away from Tao Sai, and her feet pressed hard against his heart, causing him to feel severe pain and difficulty breathing.
In just a few moves, she knocked him to the ground and killed him in seconds, leaving him no chance to fight back. The gap in strength between the two was huge.
Judging from her moves, this girl should be a master of Taekwondo or Karate. There is light in her eyes. She is not a tool, but a player.
After just a few rounds of fighting, Tao Sai could sense that her agility was far superior to his own, and she had adapted very well to the increased attribute values of her body, completely turning the added attribute values into her own. Coupled with her karate fighting skills, she was almost omnipotent.
Tao Sai's face was flushed from suffocation, and bright red blood kept pouring out from the corner of her mouth. White light flashed in her vision, and she began to have some ringing in her ears. She could see the other person looking down at her from above, his lips moving, as if he was saying something.
I can't hear clearly and can't understand. It seems like a foreign language.
Kobayashi Nobukazu stood next to the girl with a smile, and was saying something, but I couldn't hear clearly. Maybe he was helping to translate?
Her consciousness was fading away bit by bit. If it weren't for her extremely high resistance value, she would have fainted long ago.
Cheng Li and the others attracted most of the firepower in the bottom cabin and it was impossible for them to get away. Now she could only rely on herself.
In the dense fog, it is impossible to use any skills. The fighting skills that Cheng Li and I have practiced in the illusion these days may be useful, but compared with the accumulated training of others, it is still not enough to prepare and seems too amateurish.
She had one last option left. She had imagined a desperate situation similar to the current one a long time ago: what to do when faced with an opponent whose attributes and skills completely overwhelmed her.
The answer is to use the freely assignable attribute points to madly increase your own points and make up for whatever you lack.
Adding points during battle is an extremely deadly double-edged sword, especially when adding a large number of points. The body will be extremely uncomfortable with the added attribute points and will have a severe rejection reaction.
The outcome of a battle is often decided in just a moment. Once your body feels unwell, your flaws will be exposed, and your opponent will definitely catch them and deliver a fatal blow.
So Tao Sai knew very well that he should not add points in battle unless it was absolutely necessary, even if it was +1.
But now is the last resort. If we don’t try now, we will have no chance.
Their strength values are roughly equal, but their speeds are completely different. If measured numerically, their agility values differ by at least ten points.
Such a huge gap cannot be made up by skills, and Tao Sai's skills are quite poor in front of her.
The white light in front of him became more and more connected. Tao Sai gritted his teeth and held on. He quickly opened the [Role] module, opened [Tao Sai] in the first column of the list, entered the personal attribute page, and then operated.
Raise your agility to 30 directly. You need to be faster than her to beat her even if you don't have enough skills.
She raised her resistance to 50 because she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the injuries. Increasing resistance can increase the recovery of injuries. If she still gets beaten, she can be tougher and withstand it longer.
After completing the operation, Tao Sai closed her eyes and prayed that her body would be more solid and would not explode and die directly because of the increase in resistance value to 50 points.
Ten seconds later, Tao Sai opened her eyes and her vision cleared. There was no explosion. Thankfully, her body had withstood it.
