"Are you ready?"

The tire moved and looked at the few people behind him.

"Ready, ready to fight. ”

Qiao Qiao was still wearing the same red trench coat, Luo Di had already sat in the sentinel mecha that had been strengthened by Xingchensha, the spare tire waved the liquid metal arm, Xia Xiaolei's parasite armor had covered his whole body, and Qi Muxi lightly touched the short knife in his hands.

"Xia Xiaolei, report on the state of the camp. ”

"The information that Roddy got earlier, below is a composite brigade of the army and two battalions of marines. The parasite armor sensed more than 7,000 lifeforms, which roughly matched this number. Xia Xiaolei immediately reported: "There is a slight deviation in the number, and it may be that there are some other scientific researchers who have been temporarily transferred." ”

"There are quite a few people, but it seems that they are not on alert. Luo Di's voice came from the external loudspeaker of the sentry mecha: "The results of my scan here show that almost none of the large weapons have entered the state of readiness. I'm a little worried that if other teams do it, this camp might not be able to withstand the beating. ”

"The clean-up operation is over, and now it is a state of rest. Tire nodded: "But don't worry too much." No matter how low the alert level of the US military is, it will not be used as a target. As long as they can react at the first time, with such a number, it is not so easy for ordinary teams to defeat them all. ”

"The problem is that you don't need to destroy all the American troops here to snatch the meteorite. Roddy laughed, "It's just a raid, as long as they can take the meteorite before they can react." I'm wondering if I should give them a shot in the arm right now. ”

The head of the sentry mecha turned and swept over several other people: "I, Xia Xiaolei, spare tire." All three of us have long-range firepower. How about firing two shots to scare them and make them not so relaxed?"

The tire thought carefully for a moment and shook his head: "Or don't do it." If we really launch an attack and raise the security level of these US troops, it will be inconvenient for us to monitor from such a close distance. It's better to wait and see what happens. Let alone...... Even if the other teams obtained information on the current location of the meteorite, it should be unlikely that they would choose to attack directly after seeing this amount of American troops. ”

"Will you wait for the meteorite transportation to start?" Luo Di smacked his lips: "If it is so calm and quiet, the meteorite transportation team will not be equipped with too many troops." A team with a clear mind should all wait to start at that time. But if you're afraid, you're afraid...... Some teams aren't so clear-headed. ”

"Even if there is, it's not a big deal. Tire smiled: "With our current strength, can it be considered difficult to ensure such a dart......?"

"Brother Tires!"

Xia Xiaolei suddenly turned his head, and his voice was a little serious: "There are other vital signs." ”

"Location, number of people?" Tire immediately looked at Xia Xiaolei.

"West. Xia Xiaolei turned his head to the west, and the crystals covering his eyes flashed slightly: "Ten...... Twenty...... Thirty...... Well, there are more than eighty people. ”

"More than eighty people?" Tire was originally a little vigilant, but after hearing the number reported by Xia Xiaolei, his expression relaxed: "This number is unlikely to be a team of players or awakened people, it should be a certain team of the US military." ”

"No......" Xia Xiaolei's voice hesitated slightly: "But the speed of their actions ...... Soon!"

"How fast?" said the tire's complexion.

"One minute left...... No, thirty seconds, you'll be at camp!"

Just as Xia Xiaolei's words fell, a slight buzzing sound was heard in the ears of several people.

And that buzz - everyone is familiar with it!

The engine of the Tidal Fighter!

Suddenly, without warning, several missiles appeared from the sky and fired at helicopter gunships and tanks parked on the ground.

Meantime? Dozens of small unmanned fighters were also suddenly released? Towards the ground, he began to dive and strafe repeatedly.

A large number of beams of light swept across the ground in a row, igniting a sea of fire on the ground.

"Tire ......"

Roddy poked his head out of the Sentinel Mech? He smiled wryly at the tires: "Did you just want to say?" Unless...... Is it a thorn flower?"

......

"!?"

Tianlie looked at a sea of fire in the distance below, and then raised his head to look at the sky.

After two rounds of washing? The Tidal Fighter has been deactivated from stealth mode and is on the way to land. And those dozens of drones? But it's still in the air constantly launching dive attacks on the ground? Disperse the assembled U.S. troops.

On the wings on either side of it, two large thorn flower patterns are showing off their might.

Immediately after landing, the Tidal Fighter opened the hatch, and dozens of players rushed out? Disperse immediately? Begin to surround the camp.

And there were several of them who immediately took out high-level equipment such as thunderstorm chariots or infantry mechas.

As for the others, although they only used ordinary individual equipment, many people summoned their war pets and began to slaughter the American soldiers who had not yet reacted.

"I actually ran into my old club in this dungeon? How are you feeling now?" Nicole glanced at Tianlie behind her: "If you really rushed out early just now, then it would be interesting now." ”

"Hmph. Tianlie sneered disdainfully: "It's just ...... These little?"

"Yo, that's not a small tone. Nicole looked at the Thorn Flower players below who had begun to unfold their battle formations? chuckled: "Is this the so-called inverted donkey not upside down?"

"Can't your wording be nice......? Phew!" Tianlie was halfway through his speech before he reacted: "Damn? I'm not dead yet!"

"Okay, now the question is? What are you going to do next?" Nicole glanced at Tianlie teasingly, "Do you think you relied on your majesty back then?" Can you get them to abandon their mission? Will I give you the quest props? I guess it's hard. ”

"It's Team B...... I'm afraid it's really hard. Tianlie smacked his lips: "If that guy in Gaza hadn't died in the dungeon, he should have led the team." I didn't see it with my own eyes, but when I heard about my death, this guy must have been the one who laughed the most. But...... I'd rather see what his face would be like when he saw me appear in front of me. ”

"You're going down now?" Nicole frowned, "There are too many people on the other side." ”

"What else should I do? Watching them take the mission items away?" Tianlie snorted, "This is a thorn flower cluster." I know the strength of Team B. Judging by this number, the US military simply cannot stop them. Apart from us, there is no other team that has the strength to be the yellow finch behind them. If we don't do it, they're going to get the meteorite. At that time, it is better to take advantage of the chaos now. ”

"Are you sure you'll win?"

"Nope. The strength of Gaza is not weak, and there are too many people who entered the dungeon this time. But...... Do you always only do it when you are sure of victory?"

"Okay. Nicole thought for a moment and accepted Tianlie's reason: "Go." ”

Tianlie turned his face to look at Nicole, hesitated for a moment, but shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, let's go." ”

The partner who has come these days has already made him resign himself to his fate. Even if she asked her to stay here, Nicole wouldn't listen. It's better to save some effort than to talk in vain.

......

"W-ha!!"

A flat-headed black man stood on a thunderstorm chariot, holding a weapon in the shape of a bazooka in each hand, and fired violently forward, but the muzzle of the gun fired not rockets, but high-speed balls of light.

On the thunderstorm chariot beneath him, a conspicuous thorn flower was painted.

Behind him, there were two more Thunderstorm chariots, which were advancing at a medium speed, and from time to time the muzzles lit up with an arc of light.

After the initial attack, the U.S. military had reacted as quickly as possible.

Although much of the equipment was scrapped in the first round of bombing, a number of AH-64 Longbow Apache gunships and M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks were immediately mobilized and began to try to counterattack.

But in the face of this sudden attacker, this encirclement was about to collapse at the touch of a button!

The 120 mm tail stabilized deshelled depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile could penetrate 650 mm of homogeneous steel armor at a distance of two kilometers, but it could not leave even a single mark in the face of this strangely shaped vehicle.

Every time the tank fired, it was bounced off by the flash of blue light shield on the Thunderstorm Chariot. And the Hellfire missile mounted on the longbow Apache can only explode a cloud of meaningless fire on the periphery.

Every time the muzzle of the thunderstorm vehicle fired, the arc light swept out could cut the tank and helicopter in half like slicing tofu, and burst into a ball of fire.

If it's just in the face of powerful technological weapons, that's all. What frightened these soldiers even more was that among the enemies attacked, there were many monsters that only existed in myths and legends!

Giant scorpions, skeletal soldiers in armor, slimy jelly-like soft creatures......

Although these monsters are not completely invulnerable, and they can be injured or even killed under the dense fire net, the mental oppression they bring has always been beating the nerves of American soldiers.

"Captain, is it really good for us to be so swaggering!" A voice came from the intercom: "It's too loud, what if it's besieged by other teams?"

"Siege?, when did we ever be afraid of being besieged?" the black man laughed wildly as he continued to pour fire forward: "The head of the regiment has disappeared for so long, and there are not even inspectors assigned in this dungeon, of course everything is up to me! Even if there is any idea that dares to attack us, have you forgotten that I still have a magic mecha!"

"It's because there are no Inspectors......" The voice in the intercom was still a little hesitant: "In case you run into a strong enemy......"

"Powerful enemy?" the black man continued to laugh wildly: "Those guys in Zero City have been wiped out, Zack, tell me, where else can a powerful enemy emerge! Listen, Zack, as a newcomer, you should figure out what the words Thorn Flower mean! Even if the head of the group is temporarily missing, we, the Thorn Flower Group, are still the biggest and strongest team in the player world!"

"Okay......" The voice hesitated, but still didn't continue to say.

Soon, when the heavy equipment was emptied, the American army began to rout.

"Let's go, clean up the battlefield! Don't let any of the miscellaneous fish teams go first!"

The black man jumped out of the thunderstorm chariot, looked at the retreating American soldiers, and walked forward laughing.

A row of improvised field barracks in front of it surrounded a large plastic improvised structure, and it was clear that beneath the building was a crater.

From the three Thunderstorm Chariots, several players also emerged, all wearing high-grade protective clothing, holding energy weapons in their hands, and their faces showed unruly looks.

"Turn down the power of your weapons and don't fire indiscriminately. The black man turned his head to look at his subordinates and warned, "Whoever broke the mission item, I skinned him!"

Then, he strode towards the barracks in front of him, complaining as he went: "I don't even show the location of mission items on the radar." How did this dungeon development team design?"

Passing through the barracks, the black man kicked open the door of the improvised building, and was met with a barrage of bullets, but in front of the protective suit on his body, it had no effect.

"Die, waste!" the black man had just told his subordinates, but now he seemed to put his words behind him, and opened fire with his energy cannons in both hands, blasting the resisting American soldiers and the bunkers in front of them to smithereens, and the excitement on his face grew more and more.

Thankfully, the signage inside the building was clear, and the blacks and the team members were clearing away sporadic resistance as they headed inside.

"Pivotal Core Storage. This is it!" The black man grinned, raised his energy cannon, and pulled the trigger on the sealed door in front of him.

Inside the door, several researchers in chemical hazmat suits were hiding behind desks and chairs with their heads in their hands, shivering. Behind the glass door of an isolated operation room, a half-human-sized oval stone is enclosed in a glass enclosure.

The black man strode through the door, put away an energy cannon, took a laser pistol from the storage gear, and fired one shot at each of the researchers, the last shot hitting the glass of the operation room, melting a large hole.

"Captain......" A man with windproof glasses followed behind him and whispered: "Wear protective equipment, don't just hold it with your hands." According to the information we have obtained from the U.S. military's communications network, this meteorite carries alien genes that may be infectious. ”

His voice was the same guy who had been talking to the black man in the communicator just now.

The black man was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, nodded, turned his head and walked over to a dead researcher, removed the hazmat suit from the corpse, lifted a metal box from the table, and walked back to the glass cover.

"No...... Can't open ......"

A faint gasp came from the corner of the room.

One researcher struggled to prop up half of his body from the ground, staring at him: "This thing...... It's too dangerous......"

His abdomen had been pierced by a laser, and even his intestines were leaking out, and he was already in a dying state.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

The black man smiled cruelly, and once again aimed the pistol at his head, pulling the trigger.

He turned around, walked into the compartment with the metal box, found the control switch and opened the glass cover, and his rubber-gloved hand had just touched the meteorite, and the whole person suddenly froze.

"Captain?"

After a few seconds of silence, the goggles man asked tentatively.

That meteorite, I don't know what it is. It carries alien genes, but at least it shouldn't be an airborne infection......

"Damn, there's still such a mission?!" The black man suddenly burst into a wild roar, "Damn! Why am I not an Awakened! Why don't I have an exclusive number!"

Behind him, several members of the Thorn Flower Regiment looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Forget it. It doesn't look like we're going to get that benefit. The black man let out a low roar, his voice full of anger and reluctance, and he picked up the meteorite with both hands, and was about to put it in the metal box: "Let's go, take it away, find a zoo or something, and let it absorb more genes until hatching." ”

"Hatching?" the goggles man wondered, "...... this thing"

"What the hell isn't a meteorite! it's an egg!" the black man's tone was still very unkind.

"Then after hatching......" Another member hesitated, "Won't we be attacked?"

"Hatch it and the mission is over. Our goal is to protect it until then. The black man muffled, "The genes on this guy only work on NPCs, and we won't be infected." Let's go, go back to downtown Los Angeles, and kill all the ...... that gets in the way."

"Team...... Captain !!"

A scream with horror suddenly rang out from the black man's communicator.
