Rainwater mixed with blood flowed down the grooves of the Sumi sword. Wei San turned his head to look at the inner circle. It seemed that everything between heaven and earth was still, with only the sound of the broadcast echoing in the stadium.
Huo Xuanshan was distracted as he watched the pool of blood under Ying Chenghe spread out along with the rain. His fingers were stiff, and he didn't even notice that there were star beasts attacking him from the side.
Wei San frowned and threw the knife in his hand to the side of Huo Xuanshan: "Come back to your senses!" These star beasts desperately ran to the inner circle.
Huo Xuanshan gritted his teeth and turned his head back, not looking at Ying Chenghe, and continued to kill star beasts.
From the beginning to the end, Liao Runing did not turn around except for the moment when he heard the broadcast and paused with the knife in his hand. He just chopped the star beast faster and faster, and his moves became more and more fierce.
...
The medical team on the aircraft came quickly, carrying the treatment cabin directly down, and began to help Ying Chenghe clean the wound on the spot.
The gray-white soft thread, as thick as an adult's fist, pierced Ying Chenghe's chest directly and passed by the heart.
The doctor took out the soft thread, and the nurse next to him immediately lifted Ying Chenghe into the treatment cabin.
"It's a mutant bacterial thread." The doctor said to Ying Xingjue before leaving.
Ying Xingjue turned his back to them, did not look back, and just looked around.
Countless mutant fungus threads stretched out from the ground. If Ying Xingjue hadn't had the materialized barrier just now, all the cadets in the inner circle would have been in trouble, just like Ying Chenghe.
Now, fungus threads are constantly stretching out from the outside of the materialized barrier to the ground and attacking people.
——There are mutant desire mushrooms underground.
"Everyone go to the outer circle." Ying Xingjue said to the cadets in the inner circle who were gradually waking up.
After being taken in by the materialized barrier, almost all of them woke up.
Among these people, of course, was Jin Ke, who still had a bundle of loose ropes on his body.
Jin Ke stood up and shook his head, not quite understanding the current situation for a while.
Although many traces on the ground were washed away by the rain, it can still be found that there were a lot of bloodstains here before.
Jin Ke had a bad feeling for some reason. He looked around and found that only one person was missing from the main forces of the five major military academies.
"Where's Chenghe?" Jin Ke looked at Ying Xingjue and asked.
"He was just eliminated." Ying Xingjue said slowly.
Jin Ke: "...Is he okay?"
There was no doubt that the blood was Ying Chenghe's.
Wωω ?тт kΛn ?c ○
Ying Xingjue looked sideways at the hyphae that were still emerging around him: "Enter the treatment cabin."
Jin Ke bent down, supported his knees with both hands, and took a deep breath. Being able to enter the treatment cabin meant that there was still hope.
"Retreat to the outer circle first." Ying Xingjue said, and he covered everyone in the five major military academies with a materialized barrier.
At this point, all the people from the five major military academies have come to their senses. Now everyone is crowded outside, and the main command power naturally shifts to Ying Xingjue. This time, the five major military academies did not disperse in various directions to deal with the tide of star beasts, but only focused on one direction, trying to kill a way out.
At this time, the elimination of the main team of the Damocles Military Academy, the mecha division, could only be temporarily suppressed in their hearts, and everyone's unified goal was to kill a way out.
Live broadcast on the scene.
Jie Yuman stood up: "I'll go to support Cheng He." Xiang
Minghua nodded: "Go."
At the moment of the accident just now, let alone the military academy students in the stadium, even their teachers who were watching did not react. Everything happened too quickly, and all the military academy students in the inner circle were attacked.
If it were the normally sober cadets, nothing would happen. Although the mycelium was fast, the cadets who had been in so many actual combats had already developed the strength to resist.
However, the cadets in the inner circle were all in an unconscious state at the time. Not to mention resistance, even if a knife was placed on the neck of some people, they would not be able to resist.
If Ying Xingjue had not taken action, I'm afraid all these people in the inner circle would have to be eliminated. No, not just eliminated.
There were not so many treatment cabins on the aircraft. When such a large number of cadets got into trouble, some of them would inevitably not receive timely medical treatment.
"Fortunately, Ying Xingjue pressed the elimination button for Ying Chenghe in time." A teacher at Damocles Military Academy sighed.
"Isn't it too dangerous to expand the scope of the competition?"
"But now the star beasts protecting the front lines in each district are showing signs of evolution. We have so many 3S-level cadets in the five major military academies this year. Without sufficient practical training, the probability of accidents on the battlefield is even higher."
"Indeed, there are so many people guarding the competition, and it can be controlled in most cases. On the battlefield, these people basically have no backup except for their own district."
"I hope to apply for more treatment pods. In the early stages of the Hephaestus Competition, the blood of countless cadets was used to explore the current competition mode. Now that the situation has changed, at least the treatment pods must keep up. We cannot allow large-scale casualties to prevent the cadets from receiving timely assistance."
The teachers at the scene began to discuss and have already contacted the various military regions to hold a meeting after the game.
...
The situation in the stadium is becoming more and more complicated.
Because there is no resistance from the cadets, the star beasts on the other side continue to run towards this side frantically, but these star beasts do not have the opportunity to run to the cadets, but are pierced by the hyphae that suddenly broke out of the ground halfway.
"These star beasts..." When Xiao Eli woke up, his clothes had been put back on. He didn't notice anything wrong. He looked at the star beasts that had been drained of blood with disdain, "It's like they offered sacrifices voluntarily."
When the star beasts were pierced by the hyphae and sucked blood, they didn't resist at all.
"Since this kind of mushroom can confuse us, it can naturally confuse star beasts." Kunli Eli frowned and pointed in the direction where the star beasts kept falling. "Can we go through there?"
If Ying Xingjue's materialized barrier can hold up.
Speaking of which, except for Damocles Military Academy, this is the first time that other military academies have been protected by Ying Xingjue.
The other military academy members couldn't help but think in their hearts, no wonder the Imperial Military Academy performed so poorly in the last game after losing its main commander.
They were used to the feeling of having someone to back them up at this moment, so no one would worry about what would happen next. They just felt like a movable chess piece, safe and worry-free.
Quinli Eli's words were exactly what everyone was thinking at the moment, using a materialized barrier to block the mutant fungus instead of dealing with the star beasts.
However, the next second, the ground under everyone's feet began to shake...something large was about to emerge from the ground.
They couldn't run to the other side anymore, as the road was blocked by the giant things that began to emerge.
"It's that mushroom." Tai Wude vaguely saw the gray-white umbrella hat and recognized it.
The giant mutant mushroom emerged very quickly, and now the entire gray-white umbrella hat has emerged.
"The materialization barrier cannot completely block this mushroom."
Ying Xingjue stared at the giant mutant mushroom. The materialization barrier cannot completely filter out things that are dense enough in the air. This mushroom is too huge. Once the components that can cause people to fall into an unconscious state are released, they will greatly squeeze out other oxygen components in the air. When the density of this component is high, the materialization barrier will fail.
He stared at the cadets who were still fighting with the star beasts. The speed was too slow, and it was too late.
However, in the blink of an eye, the giant mutant mushroom had grown out with its umbrella handle. It was probably because it sucked a lot of blood from the star beasts. The hyphae that emerged from the ground became denser and denser, and it had begun to spread towards them.
The star beasts here also began to gradually decrease, and the giant mutant mushroom became visibly stronger.
The umbrella hat is only grayish white, but it gives people a more gorgeous sense of evil.
The reduction of star beasts is not entirely a good thing for the military academy team. Once the star beasts disappear completely, the next target will definitely become the military academy students.
"All the fully awake military academy students move to the back." Ying Xingjue said, "And those wearing disinfection masks can move to the back."
Liao Runing looked at Ying Xingjue: "If the situation just now happens again, you are the only awake commander, can you hold on?"
The gas mask can only be given to the main commander.
Ying Xingjue did not answer him: "The main force of Pingtongyuan will lead the people in front, and the rest of the main force of the military academy will stay."
No one objected.
Even Xiao Eli, who usually likes to talk, did not say a word.
Pingtongyuan Zongzheng Yueren walked in the front and began to tear open a gap in the tide of star beasts, leading the school team to slowly move forward.
The gap was gradually closed as countless star beasts continued to surge towards this side.
It seemed that the distance between the people of the five major military academies and the giant mushrooms began to widen, and there was still a layer of star beasts in the middle.
However, as the giant mutant mushrooms absorbed more and more star beast blood, their strength increased. The umbrella handle buried under the ground differentiated more and more mycelium, and continued to absorb more star beast blood.
Live broadcast on the scene.
Someone came up and whispered a few words to the three main commentators, and then the three of them stood up in unison, turned off the microphone, and walked down together. The teachers of the military academies also left.
The audience in the audience could not help but talk about it, not understanding what was going on.
At this time, all the teachers and the main commentators stood in the conference room, and several screens appeared inside, all of which were senior officials from various military regions.
"The giant desire mushroom must be removed." The senior executive of the Thirteenth Military District said directly, "Let them turn back."
Xiang Minghua raised his head and said angrily: "If it must be removed, it should be the military who should step in, why let these students go?"
"They are competing over there, and the best candidates to remove the giant desire mushroom are these military school students." The senior executive of the Thirteenth District said with a gloomy face, "From the moment we choose to enter the military school, our lives are not in our own hands, otherwise why should we enjoy so many resources?"
"The desire mushroom will only emit special ingredients into the air after it is destroyed. I think we should let the students leave first, and then the military will remove it." Ji Yuande, the highest executive of the First District, said slowly, "Teacher Xiang is right, they are still just students."
"We just found a piece of information." Inside the light curtain, the senior executive of District 13 flipped open the folder on the table. "Once the giant desire mushroom has a chance to grow, it will burst open within two hours and release countless spores into the air. These spores will grow rapidly in any moist and soft place, and then the so-called special ingredients will be released everywhere. The barrier of the stadium only blocks the star beasts, and cannot effectively resist the ultra-concentrated ingredients in the air."
The senior executive of District 13 paused and asked, "Now, who else has objections?"
The conference room was silent.
It had been an hour and a half since the giant mushroom appeared, and these military cadets could not escape even if they did not fight.
The audience in the audience soon discovered that the main commentator and the teachers from the military academies had all returned, but their faces were not very happy.
