Huang Zheng immediately understood her meaning, and his expression became serious.
"Captain Ling, what you're doing is unfair to us. At the very least, you should let two people from our team go out with you."
"one person."
"you……"
"One person is enough. We still have one person left. Without this person, we can't gather together, and naturally, we can't complete the mission. What do you have to worry about?"
Indeed, leaving one person behind is enough.
After all, the requirement to pass the level is that all members of the group must cross the rainforest.
Huang Zheng thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Can."
“There’s danger in the swamp. The person you sent can’t hold us back. Based on my observation, she’s the most capable person in your team.”
As she spoke, Ling Xiao pointed at Jin Shu.
"Come with us, we need to leave the swamp before dawn."
Kress immediately panicked when she heard that.
"Pea can't leave! Our strongest ones have all gone with you, what will happen to the rest of us? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous!"
"I will leave my vice-captain behind to protect the remaining four of you. He is an SS-rank warrior, much stronger than her."
After speaking, the vice-captain stepped forward.
"I'll go with you, are you relieved now?"
Huang Zheng really had nothing to say at this point.
After all, Ling Xiao's considerations were indeed reasonable. If she wanted to send someone to stay behind, she would definitely choose someone of similar ability to go with them. Otherwise, choosing a burden would only increase their own burden, and they didn't need to do that.
The best solution is to exchange strength for strength.
However, everything depends on Jin Shu's decision.
"Peya, what do you think?"
"I don't care."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao promptly distributed the support devices, then, without giving Jin Shu a chance to speak further, stepped onto the support devices and entered the swamp first, then turned back to urge her on.
"Don't waste our time, let's go."
"Kress held Jin Shu's hand and whispered."
"Be careful, don't be the first one, and don't be the last one..."
Harry pulled Kress over.
"The people from the Third Regiment have no reason to bully a new recruit. Don't overthink it!"
Kress countered with a question.
"What? Does being powerful necessarily mean you're virtuous? Does that mean the people in the Third Regiment won't bully the weak? Peiya has helped us so much, is it wrong for us to care about her?"
"Kress! Watch your attitude! I'm your vice-captain!"
Kress, who was usually timid and fearful, couldn't help but retort angrily.
"Why didn't you say you were the vice-captain when we were being bullied? What kind of skill is it to use your status to intimidate me..."
Although I felt increasingly guilty as I talked about it, I have to admit that I felt much better after saying it.
Harry's face was beyond ugly; it was downright disastrous.
Just as he was about to say something, Huang Zheng impatiently shouted something from the side.
"Stop arguing! Harry, Kress is right. Since you know you're the vice-captain, show some class!"
The journey through the swamp ahead is extremely dangerous. Instead of wasting time fighting here, let's rest and recuperate so we can be in top condition for the tough battle ahead!
Kress, seeing that things were going well, obediently sat down and watched as Jin Shu followed the Third Regiment into the misty swamp.
Anning had been silent the whole way, but now, for the first time ever, she spoke up.
"The fog in the swamp will become increasingly thick at night, during which time the Sky Eye monitoring system will be almost useless."
At this point, whatever you do in the swamp, the Alliance won't be able to see it.
"Stop talking, you're making me even more worried."
Kress was worried. She had long been used to relying on Jin Shu and regarded her as her pillar of support.
Now that Jin Shu is gone, she feels uneasy and restless.
Sure enough, as night fell, the fog in the swamp grew thicker and thicker, almost to the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
With the defroster on, the road within a meter in front of me was barely visible.
Since entering the swamp, Ling Xiao's team had not spoken a single word to Jin Shu. The four of them walked side by side in front, occasionally exchanging a few words of laughter, leaving Jin Shu at the back of the group from beginning to end, as if she were invisible.
Jin Shu had already guessed that this would be the case, so she didn't have any emotional fluctuations and just walked forward calmly.
Suddenly, the laughter and chatter in front of me disappeared without me noticing.
Jin Shu slowly raised her head and found that the people who had been within a meter of her not long ago had disappeared.
The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and the eerie blue glow of fireflies crawling on the mangroves only added to the chilling and terrifying atmosphere.
I heard faint gusts of wind and a long, strange chirping sound of insects.
Jin Shu stood silently, looked around, and just as she turned around, a black figure suddenly rushed out of the mist, catching her off guard and giving her no time to react.
As the distance closed, Jin Shu saw clearly that what was in front of her was a humanoid insect monster. Beneath its cockroach-like face were humanoid limbs, and its mutated double scythes swiftly and ruthlessly slashed at Jin Shu's neck. The movements were fierce and the attack was vicious. Anyone who didn't know better would think that it had some kind of blood feud with Jin Shu.
Jin Shu's movements were restricted in the swamp, but she still managed to dodge successfully in the first moment. When the insectoids attacked again, she already had a dagger in her hand.
The other party seemed to know that her gun was unloaded, so he charged forward without fear, swinging his double scythes rapidly, with a clear target: Jin Shu's neck, heart, and any other place where he could kill her with a single blow.
But close-quarters combat is Jin Shu's comfort zone.
Having practiced his boxing style for tens of thousands of years, he had already reached a level of unparalleled skill and mastery.
While dodging the sharp double scythes, Jin Shu quickly threw a punch. Between her fingers were the sharp edges left by the broken dagger. In the muddy area where she couldn't move freely, within a meter's radius, Jin Shu repeatedly slashed the insectoid's body with the sharp blade.
Her hands were covered in sticky blood, which Jin Shu casually flicked onto the ground.
The Zerg creature in front of him clearly realized that Jin Shu was not easy to deal with, so after throwing out a poison bomb, it turned around and rushed into the thick fog.
Jin Shu closed her eyes, held her breath, and listened to the "patter" of footsteps in the swamp. Without hesitation, she chased after them.
She ran very fast. In the dense forest and fog-shrouded swamp, her eyes seemed to be the most useless thing. She could accurately follow her opponent by sound alone, and even quickly avoid obstacles that suddenly appeared in the fog.
Finally, the footsteps disappeared.
Jin Shu stopped and stood motionless.
Just then, she suddenly raised her head, gripped the sharp blade, and slashed fiercely at a spot above her head! (End of Chapter)
