Chapter 97 If You Are a Man, Go to the 100th Floor 3
It can only be said that Ye Xiaoxuan is still a bit abnormal. A normal person's first reaction to such a thing is panic, followed by fear of their own death and the fear of the next death, but Ye Xiaoxuan's first reaction to such a thing was -
"Ye Xiaocao, help me check if there is any special damage in my body." Her voice was surprisingly calm, as if she was discussing today's weather.
A "yes" came from her sea of consciousness, the tone was extremely firm, and then a light green light flowed through her body.
Ye Xiaocao's voice was serious and a little helpless: "No, it's the same as the previous two times. Apart from the physical exhaustion, there is nothing unusual."
After several unsuccessful examinations, Ye Xiaoxuan raised an almost morbid smile, stroked her chin, and thought: This is good.
If every death brought some kind of irreversible damage, that would be really troublesome. But if there was no loss, it would be like she was playing a game with infinite saves, and every failure would bring her one step closer to a perfect game.
She licked her cracked lips and unconsciously stroked the dagger at her waist with her fingertips. Just as she was thinking about her next move, a voice sounded in her ears:
"emission!"
A familiar shout interrupted her thoughts. Her body reacted before her mind did, and she rolled sideways to avoid the trajectory of the shell.
Unfortunately, the blast blew up her long hair, and gravel flew past her cheek, leaving a burning pain.
I still suffered some minor injuries, but it doesn't matter, as long as I'm okay.
Then, she began to count slowly in her mind, one, two, three...
She counted silently in her mind while adjusting her breathing. Sure enough, when she counted to three, the hoarse voice sounded on time, but this time she heard what he said clearly.
Ye Xiaoxuan looked up and saw a soldier with a bloody face running towards her.
Just like before, she looked up and saw the soldier with a bloody face stumbling towards her. The broken arc of the armor on his left arm, the dark green slime corrosion marks on the long sword in his right hand, and even his staggering steps were exactly the same as last time.
When the soldier saw him, he immediately knelt on one knee, knocked his helmet heavily on the stone bricks, and then the first sentence he said was -
“Please spare my life! I shouldn’t have let you face the front line alone!” His voice was distorted by fear, but her eyes were bloodshot. “But the east wall needs reinforcements. Those things have already broken through the second line of defense!”
The same scene, the same words, Ye Xiaoxuan had experienced it once before.
Three, two, one...
Ye Xiaoxuan counted down in her heart. As the soldier spoke, she counted the beats silently, and then...
“Get out of the way!”
After a low shout, Ye Xiaoxuan pulled the soldier's body away and avoided the fatal attack.
The soldier looked at the giant spider climbing up the city wall in horror and his face turned pale instantly.
But he reacted quickly, and the long sword in his right hand ignited with a blazing flame.
"Flame Slash!" With a roar, tongues of fire swept out and wrapped the spider in blazing flames.
Ye Xiaoxuan took two steps back, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. She also wanted to be like her, but unfortunately, she didn't have enough control over her body now.
This body is like an old machine that has been out of repair and needs to be run in slowly.
Fortunately, due to Ye Xiaoxuan's pulling just now, she and the soldier were not directly hit by the attack.
With the powerful output of the soldiers, the spiders were quickly eliminated.
"Thank you..." The soldier was about to say thank you when a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the other side of the city wall.
"This way, this way!" someone shouted.
Ye Xiaoxuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than a dozen soldiers using spears to point at a larger spider.
Their armor was covered with cracks, and fragments of internal organs floated in the pool of blood under their feet.
"Stop them, we must stop them, we can't let them get up!"
But the next second, before he could finish his words, the soldiers in the front row suddenly froze. The huge spider had climbed up the wall and stood in front of them.
They had no power to fight back against this spider.
A slimy spider leg protruded from his chest, with a still-beating heart sticking out of the tip.
A triumphant hiss came from the spider's mouthparts, and the desperate faces of the survivors were reflected in its eight compound eyes.
The burnt smell entered Ye Xiaoxuan's nose again, and she felt dizzy.
This is not fear, but an instinctive reaction after the body is over-consumed.
She bit the tip of her tongue, the taste of rust spread in her mouth, and the pain made her wake up instantly.
Watching the monster crawling towards her step by step, Ye Xiaoxuan endured the discomfort of her body and began to accumulate strength.
The breath of death was so close that she could even see the venom dripping from the claws.
Just as the spider's sharp claws were about to hit her, a silver figure suddenly flashed by like lightning, grabbed her waist, flew into the air, and saved her.
Ye Xiaoxuan, who thought she was going to die again, was quite surprised.
"Commander, you are being too reckless."
He is a character in the game. Thanks to his appearance, Ye Xiaoxuan now finally knows where she is.
The place where she was now was none other than the 28th floor of the game "If You're a Man, Go to the 100th Floor".
This is also where she ends up getting stuck in the game.
"Hurry, hurry, this way."
The war ended temporarily, the attack stopped, and the surrounding soldiers began to treat the wounded. Grief enveloped the place.
As the last giant spider fell, the brief silence on the battlefield was broken by rapid shouts. The smoke had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt flesh.
The soldiers on the city wall dragged their exhausted bodies and staggered towards their injured comrades. Some knelt beside their comrades, trembling and pressing on the wounds that kept bleeding; some slumped on the ground with empty eyes, as if they had not yet escaped from the shadow of death.
Ye Xiaoxuan stood at the edge of the city wall, the cold wind blowing her hair. The battle was over, but at a heavy price—corpses were piled up in all directions, some pierced by spider legs, and some corroded beyond recognition by venom.
Faced with this situation, Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes showed a complicated expression.
In the game "If You're a Man, Go to the 100th Floor", the 20th floor is a significant dividing point. Before the 20th floor, it is just a game of skill, but after the 20th floor it becomes a game of intelligence + skill.
In order to pass, you must fully consume all the consumable resources in the game, including the soldiers that appear in these games.
Therefore, the ending of each game is that everyone except the protagonist created by the player dies.
Ye Xiaoxuan remembered that every time a level of the game ended and a gap opened, the protagonist would stand in front of the enemy he had defeated, looking blankly at the corpses of friendly and enemy soldiers piled up like a mountain under his feet. He was clearly just a game character, but that back somehow looked a little lonely.
…
However, Ye Xiaoxuan’s goal is not to ensure the survival of all members, but to end the game.
She was completely unaware of these behaviors when they appeared in the game, but now that they appeared before her eyes, she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and a faint sadness emerged in her heart.
But this is a battlefield after all, there is no point in being sad, just calculate the next attack of the spider group.
Time, Ye Xiaoxuan found that it was exactly the time to rise the next morning.
In other words, in one night, she had to command tomorrow's combat strategy and get a proper rest at the same time.
