"Fly steady, don't fall!"

Chen Xiaolian stood behind Luo Di and looked over his shoulder at the console in front of him.

On the screen, a chaotic array of dots of light and lines is flickering rapidly, and it is impossible to see any meaningful picture at all.

But Roddy was still staring at the screen, carefully holding the joystick in his hand and moving: "Nonsense, do you still need to say this! No, you can try it? All the sensors have just been burned out, I can make Adam fly with all my might, okay?"

Beads of sweat were already on his face, but his fingers were still as steady as a machine: "The direction is right, and the height is fine, but the distance from us can't be determined." tires, you watch the radar carefully. Although Adam was invisible, Zhao Yun was not, and after a certain distance, he should be able to see it on the radar. Recycle as soon as you find it. ”

"Understood. "Tire sat in the passenger seat, staring at the radar screen.

It didn't take long for the tires to see a moving point of light on the radar: "Got it!"

Roddy let out a light breath, reached out and pressed a button, switching the display in front of him to the external monitor of the Tidal Fighter.

In the distance, a small black dot was flying rapidly.

"Tires, lifted into the air, hovering altitude of 500 meters, azimuth 143, steady and don't move. Little face, go to the hatch, ready to pick up people. I don't know if there are any pursuers behind, and we have to leave as soon as we pick them up. Luo Di quickly gave an order: "Zhao Yun's recovery operation, the last step, start!"

As the Tidal Fighter roared into the air, it immediately circled and pointed its side in the direction where Adam was flying, and the side hatches opened at the same time.

Chen Xiaolian stood behind the hatch, his eyes staring at the black dot in front of him that was gradually getting bigger.

"I'm slowing down! Little face, hold on!"

Finally, Adam, who was invisible, carried Zhao Yun and flew straight to the hatch. Roddy yelled from the cockpit, and the near-transparent Adam spun around in mid-air, turning his back to the Tidal Fighter and slamming the thrusters to maximum power.

"Roddy, you bastard, why did you slow down at the end!" Chen Xiaolian was almost hit by the flames of the thruster, and suddenly dodged sideways, grabbing Adam who had just come into contact with the optical invisibility state with one hand, and supporting Zhao Yun's back with the other hand.

"No way! I'm afraid I'll be caught up by the enemy behind!" Roddy laughed and closed the hatch. The Tidal Fighter made a turn, its thrusters were fully open, and in the blink of an eye, it was at cruising cruising speed.

......

"What is this doing! Zombie Dragon! The target of the mission has no power to fight back, how can you say that you will run away? You give me an explanation!"

In the middle of the Chinese camp, Zombie Dragon sat behind a table, looking blankly at the dozens of leaders of the Awakened team in front of him.

Cao Cao's army, from the soldiers to the generals, was ordered by Tongyou to stay fifty steps away from the camp tent and guard, and no trespass was allowed without an order.

The one who spoke was a wrinkled old man, his whole head was bare from top to bottom, without half a beard and hair, but only a pair of eyes were shining.

"Old Mr. Luosong, I understand your anger, this incident is indeed beyond my expectations. The zombie dragon raised a hand and pressed it in front of him: "We are all in the same camp, and the common purpose of the mission is to kill Zhao Yun." I don't have any reason to do anything that hurts my interests. ”

The bald old man Luo Song slapped the table heavily and widened his eyes: "Since all the participants are in the same camp, how could someone rescue Zhao Yun halfway! You said that you didn't let him go, so how did he escape?"

Sitting around him were also the captains of the various teams of the Awoken, each of them looking at the Zombie Dragon in silence, waiting for his reply.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not God. Zombie Dragon smiled: "Oh, no, there is no God in this world. So...... I'm not on the development team. I didn't arrange this copy, so how can I be omniscient and all-powerful and answer all your questions?"

"If that's the case, then the old man doesn't think there's any need for us to continue the alliance. Luo Song's eyes narrowed: "In the battle just now, three people died in the old decay's team! One of them is our main member! Now you tell the old man that even if you join your alliance, you can't guarantee that everything will develop according to your plan?"

"I never said that everything would go according to my plan. Zombie Dragon spread his hands: "I would like to reiterate what I said to you before entering the dungeon - I hope we can stand together, help each other, support each other, and face the difficulties in the dungeon together." This will maximize our chances of completing the task. But even then, in the face of this copy, I cannot guarantee any results. ”

His gaze swept over the many team leaders in the tent in turn: "I understand that all of you here, each team has suffered some casualties in the raid just now. There were even some teams that were close to the outside that were now wiped out.

But that's not something I can decide! This is a copy! It's a copy where danger is always in place! Just because this mission doesn't require us to fight each other doesn't mean it's simpler. On the contrary, it is precisely because of its unprecedented difficulty that the system makes such a setting!

We, the Starfall Clan, hope to be the bond between all the teams in this dungeon, but we don't have the ability to be the leader and the umbrella. All of us can only move forward on the one hand, grope on the other, and test cautiously. And the foundation of all this is trust!

If any of you don't trust me, that's okay, our relationship can be terminated at any time. The Starfall Squad will recall the liaison and will no longer continue any information sharing. ”

He stood up and looked at everyone with blazing eyes: "Now, the problem is here. Will you trust me?"

"Ahem...... beside Luo Song, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man coughed lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Old Mr. Luo Song is just in a hurry." Since we chose to cooperate with the Starfall team before entering the dungeon, how can we still have any distrustful thoughts? Old Mr. Luosong?"

He gently patted Luo Song's shoulder beside him: "I think, you just want to discuss with Deacon Zombie Dragon and straighten out everything that just happened, right?"

That's what it means. The expression on Luo Song's face froze for a moment, and he nodded slowly: "Deacon Zombie Dragon, the old man was a little more fierce just now, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction with the Starfall team. I hope that Deacon Zombie Dragon will not be surprised. ”

"That's good. How could I blame Mr. Luosong?" Zombie Dragon hurriedly smiled and looked at the others: "Everyone...... You won't doubt me, will you?"

"Of course not. ”

"No, no, no. ”

"Solidarity is the most important thing. ”

Seeing that many of the awakened people shook their heads in denial, the zombie dragon nodded in satisfaction.

"So, Deacon Zombie, since everyone has reached a consensus, can we seriously discuss the current situation and the next steps?" the middle-aged man smiled.

"Of course. Zombie nodded, "That's exactly what I was going to do." Now, all the soldiers of Cao Cao's army have been ordered, and we have been given the status of inhuman warriors in the Western Regions, no matter what actions we make, we will not arouse suspicion and lose the identity of Cao Cao's soldiers. ”

"Good. Luo Song nodded slowly: "If the old man guessed correctly......"

His gaze swept to Tong Yu behind the zombie dragon: "This NPC Cao Cao has been controlled by the Starfall team." ”

Zombie Dragon laughed: "Old Mr. Luosong really has a torch in his eyes. That's right, our team's Tongyou has already occupied Cao Cao's body. Otherwise, how dare I let everyone use all their weapons with confidence just now?"

"That makes sense. Luo Song nodded: "So, now our position and time node should have been confirmed, right?"

The zombie dragon looked back at Tong Yu and gestured. Tongyou took two steps forward and said respectfully: "Now we are in a position that is eighty miles south of Xinye, and we are heading towards Fancheng Xiangyang. Cao Cao had just accepted Liu Cong's surrender, and he also learned the news that Liu Bei had abandoned Fancheng and fled south. But this time the night attack, the whole army, including Cao Cao himself, did not expect anything. ”

"So, now the troops here are all the main forces of Cao Cao's southward movement, and how many are they?" Luo Song immediately asked.

"A part of it was left in Wancheng, led by Cao Ren, about 20,000 people. The total number of this force is more than 78,000 people, but there are quite a few losses in the night attack just now, and there are no specific statistics for the time being. Tong Yu replied unhurriedly.

"No matter how much you lose, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 people left. Luo Song rubbed his shiny bald head: "There are so many cannon fodder, no matter how strong that Zhao Yun is, there will always be times when he is tired, and he will grind to death." Anyway, the cavalry he brought with him had already been killed. ”

"But the number of those cavalry is not much, and it is definitely not all the men and horses of Liu Beijun. Tong You shook his head: "According to the report of Cao Cao's generals, the total number of enemies in this night attack is only more than five hundred people, and it should only be Zhao Yun's subordinates. Liu Bei's entire army should be about 5,000 people, which is only one-tenth of them. ”

"In the end, every one of Liu Bei's soldiers has this kind of strength, right? If that's the case, then Cao Cao will take the lead to win?" The middle-aged man laughed: "The cavalry unit brought by the mission objective is obviously already the most elite. ”

The old man agrees with this statement. Luo Song nodded slowly: "Now let's review the battle situation just now, the mission goal is to use those cavalry as bait to attract the attention of the large army, and then break in from another direction and assassinate Cao Cao." But because of our presence, the plan for mission objectives failed. Liu Beijun probably couldn't find cavalry troops of the same quality anymore. ”

So the problem now is that his plan failed, but it was saved. The middle-aged man looked at the zombie dragon: "Of course we believe that the Starfall team will not secretly let go of the mission target in order to monopolize the points. But who did it, and does Deacon Zombie have any opinions?"

Zombie nodded, pulled out a small box, placed it on the table, and pressed a button, and the box cast a curtain of light in the open space in front of him.

"This is a holographic video of the battle near the main camp just now, you can take a look. ”

A vague phantom swooped down from above, hooked Zhao Yun's armor, and then immediately turned upward, flying out of the camp in an instant.

"It's ......"

All of the leaders of the Awoken team stood up and leaned in front of the holographic projection, carefully observing every detail.

And the zombie dragon also reduced the playback speed of holographic projections to a minimum.

"It's not a magical ability. After pondering for a long time, Luo Song said slowly: "The outline of that thing is very square, and although it seems to be transparent, if you look closely, you can find that its surface has a certain delay with the surrounding environment. This is an invisible technology developed by the principle of optical projection. It's a tech prop!"

Several of the Awakened nodded in agreement.

"The setting of this copy should be a high martial plane, so it is not unusual for soldiers and generals on both sides to use fighting energy. But no matter what, there will be no tech items. This is by no means a copy thing. Luo Song was categorical: "This is what an awakened person did!"

"This ......" all the awakened looked at each other.

Luo Song's judgment was not wrong. Although there are many kinds of props produced in the system that have invisible abilities, they also show different characteristics in appearance due to the different implementation principles. This means of invisibility, which can be detected by the naked eye at close range, can only be generated by optical projection.

But the question is, why did the Awakened do this?

"Not all teams are part of our league. A young man with dyed white hair thought for a moment and interjected, "Could it be those teams that work alone...... I want to monopolize the quest reward......"

"Don't you take off your pants and fart?" A man with a big waist and a tattoo next to him glared at him: "If you really want to swallow the points alone, wouldn't it be okay to kill him directly at that time?" Even if you capture him, so long ago, it should have been killed a long time ago, and the copy is not over at this time, which means that Zhao Yun is not dead." He was saved, not arrested, you know?"

"Then there's really no way to explain it. The white-haired young man smiled wryly and spread his hands: "All the Awakened have the same mission goal, and there is no reason to do so. It is impossible for the NPCs in this dungeon to use technology items...... What else would be possible?"

"Yes. Zombie Dragon, who had never opened his mouth, said coldly: "You have forgotten a possibility. ”

"What is possible?" everyone looked at him.

"In the system description of the dungeon, the mission goal is indeed shared by all the Awakened. But- have you forgotten that there will be anyone else in the dungeon besides the Awoken and NPCs?"

The zombie dragon pressed twice more on top of the box, and the projection screen on the light screen turned into a radar map.

"The incident happened suddenly, and we didn't have time to catch up, but the temporary mini-radar detected the movement of the other party. After Zhao Yun was caught by the UFO, he flew all the way south at high speed, but suddenly slowed down at a distance of thirty kilometers from us, and at the same time, another larger bright spot briefly appeared on the radar, but the time was only five seconds, and it disappeared along with Zhao Yun. ”

"This is ......" Luo Song narrowed his eyes, carefully looked at the radar chart that was being played repeatedly, and his tone was uncertain: "Recycled?"

"Mr. Rakomatsu is really experienced. Zombie Dragon nodded: "According to my guess, it should be a large aircraft with stealth function, recovering the mission target." ”

Everyone present gasped.

A large manned vehicle that also has a stealth function...... There are only two possibilities for a team that can equip such a high-end gadget.

The resident team of Zero City, with-

Thorn Flowers!

Luo Song's face was also a little ugly: "What does Deacon Zombie mean that there may also be players in this dungeon, and their mission goals are opposite to ours, or at least there is a conflict?"

"That's the best way possible. Zombie Dragon nodded and sighed softly: "Since the destruction of Zero City, no one from Zero City has ever shown up, and I don't know where it lurks. I don't think it's possible that even if they were to get into the dungeon, they wouldn't have done anything so ostentatious. Let alone...... They are also awakened beings, and there is no reason to hinder them from completing the mission objectives. So ......"

The Zombie didn't finish, but everyone already knew the answer.

An invisible shadow crept over the tent.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much. The zombie dragon suddenly smiled and broke the silence: "Even if it's the Thorn Flower Cluster, so what? At least we have tens of thousands of troops in our hands, if the Thorn Flower Cluster is really a group of masters, it won't be so sneaky to save people." Either way, we have to get the job done. ”

Gradually, echoing voices sounded below, getting louder and louder.

"From now on, we will not act according to Cao Cao's actions in history. The zombie dragon replaced the holographic projection in front of him with a map, and stretched out his hand to point to the location above: "The system did not set a target time limit for the mission this time, so we don't need to rush at all." We are now less than fifty miles away from Fancheng and Xiangyang, and we will be there tomorrow. After that, we'll continue to advance with the army, and we'll pursue without dividing our forces, and we'll be aim—"

His fingers swept across Fancheng Xiangyang and moved to Jiangling below: "It's still Jiangling!"
