Hearing the ear-piercing screams behind him, Duke couldn't help but press his forehead, grit his teeth, and say to his teammates behind him, "Quick! You guys go first!"
"I'll cover you!"
He Wei suddenly raised her dazed eyes and took in Duke's face, which was filled with undisguised fear. In front of them was a group of alien species that she had never seen before in her life.
She suddenly shook off her teammate's hand, raised her gun, and her eyes finally regained their clarity.
She said firmly, "I'll help you!"
Duke was about to refuse; he couldn't possibly let a child of light who hadn't even graduated yet die with him. But in that instant, he met He Wei's eyes.
Those eyes still bore traces of moisture, but what remained was a familiar mix of fear and determination, just like the eyes I saw every time I went to the battlefield.
It is only through witnessing it firsthand that one can know fear, personally experience cruelty, and emerge from helplessness and pain that one can resolutely continue moving forward.
She is already an excellent soldier.
Duke clenched his jaw, quickly made a few hand gestures to He Wei, and then found the nearest high point and jumped up.
He Wei positioned herself in a more secluded spot behind him, making it easier to provide support and treatment at any time.
They both knew that this was a crisis that the two of them could not withstand, but behind them were their retreating teammates and survivors.
As He Wei watched the alien creature rapidly approaching, fear made her teeth chatter. She watched her hand holding the gun tremble slightly, then suddenly opened her mouth and bit down hard.
His fingers stopped trembling only when the taste of blood filled his mouth.
...The group of aliens arrived faster than expected.
Just before the two were about to be overwhelmed by the alien creatures climbing the house walls, a huge black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, and a pair of soft, eerie arms blocked the attack for them.
With veins bulging on his forehead, Wang Li, dragging his insect-like body, swept away the wave after wave of low-level creatures that came rushing towards him.
Then he gave He Wei a smirk: "It is a teacher's dereliction of duty to let a student be killed in front of them."
As He Wei watched his body being devoured by the swarming alien creatures, tears finally streamed down her face: "Teacher!!!"
With Wang Li using his body as a shield, they held on for a while longer. After He Wei fired her last bullet, she sobbed, "They've already left, teacher, captain, please hold on a little longer!"
Lancer stepped onto the edge of the airship, stretched his limbs, and asked without turning his head, "Are there really people down here?"
They had almost entered Bellamy's territory, but what they saw was an endless expanse of low-level species that had surrounded the entire area, preventing anyone from leaving.
Lancer tilted his head, making a crisp snapping sound: "Tsk, is this some kind of 'poisonous insect' breeding?"
Eric, sitting at the front of the airship, finished the last sip of his black tea. The teacup made a slight clinking sound against the table. He got up and walked toward the cabin door.
Holding a silver cane in one hand, he exuded an air of elegance and gentlemanliness.
If he hadn't been walking around, his already tall figure would have continued to expand, and his always gentle and gentlemanly face would have gradually stretched into a huge, throbbing head.
Tall, curved ram horns snaked out from above her head, and her well-fitting dress was torn, slightly revealing her chest covered in countless scars.
A robust sheep hoof with a beastly, curved shape stepped on the edge of the hatch, and countless eyes on its head opened simultaneously, looking down.
Eric's deep, enchanting voice rang out calmly: "It seems Miss Gu Li has encountered some trouble. It seems we have no choice but to proceed according to plan."
Lancer snorted, grinned, and jumped down with his arms outstretched.
“I’ve already told her that we’ll be responsible for clearing the landing site.”
He stared intently at a small building below, surrounded and swallowed by lower-level creatures, and muttered to himself, "As expected, I was right. I'll definitely get my sister to give me a few more days off when I get back."
"boom--"
Under the cold sweat and unbearable gaze of the airship pilot, the two descended directly from a height of several hundred meters. As soon as they landed, they cleared a vacuum zone among the densely packed low-level species.
Lancer reached into his pocket and suddenly pulled out a huge modified machine gun. Tentacles with blue rings spread out from him as he laughed wildly.
Like several bulldozers, the lower-level species that were touched by the blue-ringed tentacles were all paralyzed and rendered stiff.
Lancer seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger.
Eric deliberately landed a little distance away from Lancer. The goat-hoofed man killed a large number of low-level creatures when he landed, but even more painless monsters surged up.
He slowly inserted his hand into his abdomen, drew a thin sword, and said in a deep voice that sounded remarkably pleasant compared to the enormous head covered in eyes on its neck, "May I ask you to rest for a while?"
The low-level creatures that had surged forward with frenzied greed suddenly froze in place.
Eric flashed a silver light in his hand, then sheathed his sword and walked towards another area.
After he left, the lower-level creature behind him suddenly had a bloody gash on its body, and its body was completely severed in the middle.
[Aaaaaaaahh ...
[What's with the madness up front? Haters, turn right and leave; those with low tolerance, turn left.]
[I understand you (weary face) (lights a cigarette) I guess you also fled here from the live stream next door.]
【I get it, hahaha!】
[Eri is terrifying yet undeniably beautiful (I advise those with low sanity not to attempt this)]
[It is recommended to administer emergency medical assistance first before attempting this.]
[(It is recommended to try it near the hospital entrance)]
Wait, what's that?
After landing, Lancer continued to clear out the alien species and headed straight in one direction. The others soon noticed the anomaly.
What's there? Lots of low-level creatures are crawling on it?
Is it devouring its companion's corpse?
As Lancer lifted the top layer of low-level creatures and pulled up a soft, enormous insect corpse with one hand, revealing the scene inside, everyone fell silent.
Protected beneath the mutated insect corpses were two humans—no, it should be one.
The insect corpse and a human fell on top of the girl, enduring all the attacks and gnawing. The girl, who was protected at the bottom, trembled in the sudden light.
Amidst the roars of countless alien creatures, it slowly raised its lifeless eyes.
He Wei stared at Lanse's figure for a few seconds, then looked tremblingly at Wang Li and Duke who were blocking her way, belatedly reaching out to touch their mutilated faces.
"Teacher?...Captain?"
Her words were choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her face. She covered her face with her hands, her words muffled as she broke down in tears.
But everyone still understood what she was saying.
Why am I still alive?!
