33 Struggle
◎Second evolution, big alien◎
What is going on!
She was now entangled with the alien object. The military couldn't have failed to notice their presence nearby. This alien object was truly formidable, and it would be difficult to escape anytime soon. Did this mean... that she had been abandoned?
Yan Xunzhi was stunned. He had expected that he would most likely die on the ground, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
His body stiffened and was immediately pinned down by the flying foreign object.
She felt severe pain all over her body and immediately came to her senses, realizing that what was in front of her was more important. She used her backhand to make several cuts, and kicked the foreign object on her chest with her right leg.
The crack she kicked opened deeper, like a tree trunk being forcibly ripped apart, its grain forming strands. Yan Xunzhi saw the marks left by their bullets, the final explosion having only created a small crater deep inside.
It's useless. This thought flashed through her mind. The foreign object had already turned to wood. The mixed-up guide was right. It probably had no nerves at all. Even if the mental bullet materialized, it would have no flesh and blood. The explosion would be too weak.
Bullets continued to blast from behind, but it was clear that Yan Xunzhi's kick posed a greater threat. The alien creature held her tightly with its front paws, twisting its neck stiffly as it opened its mouth to bite again!
The bloody mouth was wide open, and the foreign object had two rows of sharp teeth on the upper and lower parts, which was still terrifying.
Oh my god!
Sentinel Yan didn't expect her kick to be so hard, and his trick of attracting damage was ineffective. He panicked for a moment and subconsciously tried to dodge offline.
He kicked with all his might, drew his gun, and rolled over. The mental bullet exploded in the alien's mouth. It instinctively dodged, angrily closing its mouth. Yan Xunzhi narrowly missed it, sweating profusely, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is terrifying!"
It's impossible to hit it, how can I fight it?
After moving a little further away from the battlefield, she took a few breaths to rest and measured the speed of the foreign object.
Speed type, no other advantage, just running fast. Yan Xunzhi calculated while thinking that Kong Wei was right after all. She really had no problem escaping on the ground. If she tried her best, she might be able to roll back to the ground tower before the alien thing bit her to death.
Yi Rong is almost there, but he is an A-level sentry after all, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to run away separately.
It’s just a mixed-row guide... Yan Xunzhi was a little silent. Not only did she not rescue him just now, but now she is actually planning to abandon him.
The ground is really a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind. All your moral character and humanity will be ruined once you get on the ground.
There was another super-level alien object approaching. Yan Xunzhi didn't dare to hesitate any longer and was about to communicate with Yi Rong alone, asking her to stop pulling and directly abandon the mixed guidance and run away...
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.
Trees have no nerves, no spirits, and no mental powers. But she had been on the surface for half a year, and even if it was a completely demented alien, it was just a severe mental disorder. Its biological instincts and mental powers were still there. She had never seen anything so devoid of anything.
But if there is nothing, why would it attack people, why would it follow the pain to attack, and why would it eliminate the biggest threat first?
The evolutionary direction on the ground has never been dementia. Dementia is the elimination of evolution, and it must have nerves and flesh and blood.
The limbs and trunk have all become lignified, and the skin has also become lignified. But what about the internal organs? What about the brain?
It just closed its mouth and never opened it again. Is it because its mouth has not yet become woody... is it injured?
As if waking up from a cold shower, Yan Xunzhi opened up his Ren and Du meridians. He immediately communicated, picked up the knife, and rushed forward. "Chest! Shoot that gaping hole in its chest!"
If its internal organs become woody, how it will live is another matter, but first of all, it should not be afraid of her tearing open its chest.
But it hid.
Yi Rong had just arrived at the military zone, but this wasn't her first time on the ground. She immediately picked up her thickest and heaviest long sword, charged it, and dodged towards the alien. The alien naturally raised its claws to hit her, but she thought her exoskeleton wouldn't kill it with one blow, so she rushed forward and slashed its chest with her long sword!
The knife lodged in her chest, the foreign object striking her squarely, her exoskeleton instantly denting. Not daring to resist, Yi Rong let go, releasing the force and flying away.
The exoskeleton was deformed in appearance, but still usable. She pulled herself out of the sand with a grimace.
Yan Xunzhi took advantage of this opportunity to take a few steps closer to the foreign object. She was faster than Yi Rong and had spent more time in the military area, so she had some experience. She rolled over to avoid the foreign object's attack and kicked the long knife with her foot!
Pichi——
The chest of the alien was completely split open, and the long knife slid down along the crack. The mixed platoon guide had already concentrated his bullets and aimed, firing continuously at the chest of the alien!
Three mental bullets penetrated the chest, exploding with a thud inside the alien object. A strong smell of blood instantly rushed out of the wound. The alien object seemed to lose its balance, took two steps forward, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
The mixed platoon guide did not dare to be careless and ran closer. Yan Xunzhi pried open its mouth and fired several bullets towards its brain.
Blood was gushing out of the foreign object's mouth, its pupils were dim, and it was lifeless.
How can this be a 4-rated alien object... Yan Xunzhi wiped the sweat off his forehead through his helmet and couldn't help but complain about the backwardness of the federal equipment. Now the alien objects on the ground have evolved to this point. How can alien objects with different abilities be compared?
Her body was about to sit down and rest, but her mind was still chattering. If she hadn't had some sense, she wouldn't have been killed by the super-level alien object, but would have died at a lower level first...
Oh right! Holy crap! A super-level alien object!
Yan Xunzhi jumped up from the spot and quickly grabbed the nearest mixed team guide, "Run! Get back to the ground tower as fast as you can!"
Yi Rong had just arrived at the assembly hall feeling dizzy when she heard this order. The alien had been killed. Her mind was a little unclear, and she subconsciously thought she had misheard, "What?"
"Go back to the ground tower!" Yi Rong was injured and her legs were not very flexible. Yan Xunzhi was used to carrying her, but then he remembered that he was offline and could only take care of himself first. He said as he ran, "There is a super-level alien object approaching!"
Yi Rongshang's still somewhat confused mind immediately woke up and he ran to catch up.
Even without the aid of an exoskeleton, Yan Xunzhi was still extremely fast. Moreover, his body was light, so he did not sink easily in the sand, and he quickly ran for a distance.
After going offline, the signal reception was partially lost, and the communication was completely inaudible. Perhaps because she was closer to Kong Wei, her voice rang out again, "Don't...move...strange...come..."
How could she move! How could she not know that something foreign was approaching!
Yan Xunzhi, who knew he was being abandoned, felt a surge of anger when he heard this question, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Yes! There was a foreign object just now!"
The map coordinates in the helmet kept flashing, and the nearest ground tower was about six hundred meters away.
People can indeed unleash infinite potential when their lives are at stake. The mask made it almost impossible for her to breathe. Yan Xunzhi took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and then lowered her head and rushed towards the ground tower!
The repeated but incomplete sound in her ears had become a little vague. She only focused on the tower on the ground and ignored everything else.
Bang!
The helmet shattered, and a wave of heat instantly washed over her face. Shards of debris streaked across Yan Xunzhi's eyes and cheeks, and her vision suddenly turned red. Her body stopped, her legs still moving forward, and she fell weightlessly into the yellow sand.
The communication was still interrupted, but she could finally hear clearly.
Kong Wei's complete words were: Don't move! A foreign object is lurking near the ground tower!
Damn it.
The helmet was damaged, so Yan Xunzhi took it off and put on goggles. The goggles had no receiving function, so the coordinates were completely lost, and she had no idea where she was.
The sky was filled with yellow sand. The other two people might not have run towards the tower on the ground, or they might have been left behind by her and their traces could no longer be found.
Her mind was in a mess, but she forced herself to calm down. "Is it the tower on the ground that I'm near?"
"Yes. New location..."
"My helmet is broken." Yan Xunzhi interrupted her, "I can't receive the coordinates."
Kong Wei was silent for half a second, "Are you facing the ground tower now?"
Yan Xunzhi recalled her previous actions. She turned over after falling, then got up and took off her helmet and replaced it with goggles. "...No, I turned my back to the ground tower."
"Run seventy degrees to your left." Kong Wei's voice was very quiet. Yan Xunzhi had always felt that she spoke in a low voice, as if holding ice in her mouth. But now, the icy sound made every word she heard clear and distinct. "The support personnel are on the ground, and I have adjusted my bearing to face you. I will maintain communication. If the reception deteriorates, it means you are off track."
The most terrifying thing about being on the ground is having no direction. There is yellow sand in the sky and on the ground. There is no reference at all, just like walking with your eyes closed.
The distance is far, and a slight mistake can lead to a huge difference.
Kong Wei is now her guiding line.
Yan Xunzhi had to keep sure of his direction, so he didn't run very fast. "What should I talk about?"
When it came to saying something, Kong Wei was actually at a loss for words. "...Why did the Level 4 alien object keep haunting me for so long?"
We're still on the ground and need to report? Yan Xunzhi practically rolled his eyes. Kong Wei had spent so much time thinking to come up with such a lame topic? Pessimistically, this might be her last words left in this world, and it's actually a ground report?!
But she said obediently, "That alien creature seems to have evolved a second time. It..."
"What is secondary evolution?" Kong Wei interrupted her.
Isn't this a word I learned from you? You ask me? Yan Xunzhi was stunned.
Then he remembered that it was impossible for Kong Wei to connect with her on his own due to the huge distance. She was using a device to record her during the mission, and Kong Wei didn't want to be recorded.
But she said she had already said it, explaining dryly, "I just feel like I'm a little more adapted to the ground. I've evolved."
Kong Wei said "oh", it was just a formality anyway, "and then?"
"Its limbs and torso were almost woody," Yan Xunzhi recalled. "Because it had turned into wood, mental bullets were ineffective against most parts of its body. Its skin was hard, and its head couldn't be penetrated. It was our first time seeing it, and we had no experience. We didn't know how to kill it, so it took us a lot of time."
Kong Wei hummed again, and Yan Xunzhi noticed that she was not surprised. "Has anyone else encountered this?"
If this was their first time and they were still recording, she should at least act curious.
Sure enough, Kong Wei said, "There is already such a trend in the south."
The topic seemed to have come to an end. Kong Wei paused for a moment and asked again, "Why is your helmet broken?"
"It was shot through." Yan Xunzhi paused, a little strange, "It looks like... it was shot through by a mental bullet."
She couldn't be sure the explosion point wasn't inside the helmet, but the feeling... was too similar.
She was just making a random guess, but Kong Wei's voice on the line suddenly became nervous, and he said quickly, "I might lose the connection, you..."
Then there was a sharp sound, and the mental power was really cut off.
His field of vision was limited to half a meter. Yellow sand filled the sky, as if floating in a boundless ocean. All around him was the whistling of the wind. Yan Xunzhi stood on the sand, dumbfounded by this sudden change.
It’s only been a few minutes… and she’s been thrown twice!
