A moment of acceleration.

Russell dodged the tight fire network.

With rapid breathing, he once again broke through the blockade of the minions and hid in another room, buying himself a little breathing time.

However, it wasn't long before the dense barrage of metal bullets that continued to pass by and the occasional rocket launchers that exploded around him still made Russell feel exhausted.

Now, more than three hours have passed since the four of them rushed into the nest, and all aspects inside the nest have responded.

Russell didn't have time to ask about the situation of others, but it could be predicted that their situation would not be very good either.

Although he was able to deal with these minions by relying on the complex terrain, spending such a long time did consume a lot of physical energy.

He was only a mid-level psychic at level 0 spiritual power. Even with the Dawn Suit that could increase his combat power, he could only barely reach the peak of level 0 spiritual power.

Although these medium-caliber bullets and the occasional exploding rockets could not break his defense, the accumulated impact still made him feel uncomfortable.

If there weren't a lot of spiritual water stored in the space token, I would be waiting for death if my spiritual power was exhausted.

"Continue to break up these people's formation twice. Then we can probably guide them to dismantle the load-bearing columns in this building."

"When the time comes..."

There was a gleam in Russell's eyes.

Instead of fighting in the more complex building complex outside, he chose to rush into a larger building and maneuver around, with the aim of destroying some of the enemies here as quickly as possible.

Try to guide the enemy to dismantle the load-bearing columns by themselves without being too obvious.

Let the collapsed floors destroy the people chasing him.

Then he could quickly break through the wall and escape without being buried by the countless steel bars and concrete.

Thinking of this, Russell closed his eyes and listened carefully to the pattern of the metal barrage outside.

These minions, who were not very professional, had imperceptible gaps when conducting segmented shooting, and were unable to form a seamless metal barrage.

Russell was able to break up the formation every time he did so by taking advantage of opportunities like this.

Otherwise, if he had to withstand too many bullets, he wouldn't be able to bear it even in his Dawn suit.

He pondered for a long time.

Just when the room was about to be turned into a hornet's nest, Russell suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a pause in the shooting!

The time is now!

He jumped up almost without hesitation and smashed the wall that was already riddled with holes.

As in many previous attempts, the shattered bricks and powder obscured the view, and Russell took advantage of this moment to rush into the formation.

The two leading minions had no time to react before Russell blocked the muzzles of their guns with his hands, and then twisted them into a knot.

Then, Russell picked up the two men and threw them out, knocking them out of a large area at once.

Taking advantage of the gap created in this moment, Russell rushed out in two steps at a time.

His route seems confusing, but it is actually very clear.

The pursuers behind him reacted and used two RPGs to help him bomb and break another load-bearing column, thus achieving part of his goal.

This made Russell's eyes light up.

He looked at the row of a dozen distinctive blue doors in front of him and decisively chose to continue speeding up.

He was just about to rush into the room not far in front of him to take another rest and use it as a shelter for a while.

But the moment he pushed open the door, he was stunned where he was.

When he pushed the door open, dozens of pairs of numb and lifeless eyes looked up at him.

There were a group of ragged children in this room.

Some new and old scars could be seen under their tattered clothes, and every child was silent, as if they had lost their energy and spirit.

Even though there had been continuous artillery fire outside for a long time, they still stayed here motionless.

Facing these gazes, Russell pondered for a moment.

This sudden discovery made his thoughts completely shattered. His battle plan was interrupted and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

But Russell, who was always calm, reacted immediately after a moment of silence.

He gritted his teeth and closed the door.

So, after taking a deep breath.

Russell turned around almost without hesitation and rushed towards the approaching minions.

The speed of this outburst was so fast that the pursuing minions did not react immediately, but they soon burst into fire.

Russell was already approaching at this time, and did not make any dodging move.

In order to avoid being affected from behind, Russell even chose to move consciously this time to try to withstand all the damage.

The bullets slowed him down, and the accumulated kinetic energy gradually made him feel pain even though he was already tired.

The powerful explosion blew him back several steps, and he continued forward with gritted teeth.

My muscles are filled with soreness.

Although he was already exhausted, he still had to forge ahead against the barrage of metal bullets that he could not have sustained for long even in his prime, so that every step he took was taken with gritted teeth and his body creaked.

When a bullet was the last straw that broke the camel's back, he slowly fell to the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Consciousness gradually becomes blurred.

The vision in front of my eyes began to double, and the sounds in my ears began to become distant.

Russell knelt on the ground with his head down, unable to see the scene clearly.

But he could imagine that the minions from the surrounding nests must be trying to get closer.

"It seems that this is my end."

"Not bad..."

"At least, the dream is about to be fulfilled."

Russell murmured in his heart, recalling the past like a kaleidoscope of memories in his mind.

seem……

It's also nice to fall on the way to realizing your dreams.

I just feel a little sorry for the organization for not being able to contribute much in the mission against the abyss.

As he thought, his breathing gradually weakened.

In order to ensure that the children were not affected, he expended too much energy.

"boom!"

A loud noise suddenly echoed in my ears.

Russell's memories were interrupted. He wanted to see clearly what happened, but his gradually drifting thoughts and uncontrollable body obviously made it impossible for him to do so.

The next moment, a series of screams rang out.

At the same time, spiritual power continued to flow into his body and began to heal his injuries.

The healing was so skillful that Russell could feel his condition improving rapidly and he soon regained control of his body.

Although he was still half dead, at least he was out of the near-death state.

He raised his head and looked at the screen in front of him, where there was no longer any double image.

Five figures dressed in Dawn uniforms were checking the lives of the bodies on the ground and would finish them off as appropriate.

Next to Russell, there was a figure wearing a Dawn battle suit, who was holding his shoulders and continuously outputting spiritual power.

Above their heads was a broken ceiling and snow was blowing in, and beneath their feet were the minions of the nest lying on the ground.

The howling wind and snow blew in through the broken ceiling and hit Russell's face.

Breathing the cold, fresh air, Russell knew he had survived.

Next, as long as I see the leader, I believe even the most serious injuries can be easily healed.

He couldn't help wanting to cry out loud.

But when I thought about the fact that everyone was there, I held back my tears.

“It’s great to be alive.”

Russell took a deep breath, and the tears he held back turned into a calm speech.
