[Sorry, I forgot to get this morning's auto-release]

"It's not strong. Although these animals are infected, they do not have much reinforcement other than their size. Xia Xiaolei used the long sword extended from the parasite armor to easily cut a giant bear in half, shook his head, and said strangely.

The location of the few people is the entrance to Griffith Park. The surrounding ground was littered with mutilated human corpses, as well as wrecked vehicles. The gate was in ruins, and half of the surrounding wall had collapsed.

On the way to the meteorite team, the corpses of dozens of mutated creatures were already lying down.

And in Los Angeles, it's hell now.

According to Xia Xiaolei's detection, the mutated creatures around the zoo only account for about two-thirds of the total. The remaining third, all scattered, slaughtered and destroyed everywhere in the city.

Although the strength of these mutated creatures is not too strong for the awakened and the player, for ordinary citizens, it is a group of slaughterers who cannot resist.

"That's because you've become stronger, and your horizons have risen accordingly. Nicole glanced at Xia Xiaolei and shook her head: "For ordinary level players and awakened people, although these guys are not to the point where they can't deal with it, they are not objects that can be completely ignored. ”

Nicole was right. The tires nodded.

Although along the way, these mutated beasts pose little threat to them. They have not evolved any special abilities other than their larger size and more pronounced nature of their original species.

But this is more because the Meteorite team has now grown into a team with almost no shortcomings. Whether it's melee, ranged, magic, technology, reconnaissance, defense, it can all be both, and it also has excellent coordination.

As long as it's not an opponent like the Thorn Flower Troupe or the former resident team of Zero City, there is no opponent for the Meteorite Troopers to fear.

"What I'm more concerned about now is whether these so-called alien genes are contagious or not. The tire pointed to the body of the giant bear on the ground: "Go, do another test." ”

Xia Xiaolei nodded obediently, squatted down, and the index finger of his right hand pierced into the giant bear's body, and when he pulled it out again, several barbs had evolved on his fingertips, and a few strands of flesh had been hooked.

"Sure, no. Xia Xiaolei closed his eyes, and after a while, affirmed: "There are some foreign implant fragments in the DNA, but they do not have the code for active replication and diffusion. ”

"Good. Tire nodded reassuringly.

Every time he encountered a wave of mutant beasts along the way, he asked Xia Xiaolei to use parasite armor to test the DNA on the corpse, just to make sure that these mutated creatures would not spread their genes.

While the quest description states that these alien genes do not infect players and the Awoken, Tyre is also concerned that the average resident of Los Angeles will mutate.

If that's the case, with this huge amount, it's a headache.

"Okay, you've already let this kid check a dozen times along the way, aren't you at ease?" Tianlie waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go quickly." That guy Adric, it should be in this park. Boy, is that so?"

"My findings here show that there is a large concentration of life in the park. Xia Xiaolei nodded: "And the density is an order of magnitude higher than outside." Considering that even if there were tourists in the park, they should have been killed long ago, so it could only be these mutant creatures. ”

"An order of magnitude?" Tire thought for a moment, "It means more than ten times, right?"

"It doesn't matter if it's two orders of magnitude. Tianlie grinned: "Except for Adric himself, these guys just don't have the meaning of half a dime." ”

"That's right. The tire frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let's go, keep going, but ...... It is still necessary to remain vigilant and not to be taken lightly. Don't forget how the captain of the Thorn Blossom died. Xia Xiaolei, your detection ability must be kept on at all times, and we must not be attacked once as well. ”

"Understood. Xia Xiaolei immediately nodded solemnly.

Nicole had already explained Adric's skills to them. In this attack method that can directly damage the soul, neither Tianlie's metal data flow body, nor his physical recovery ability after being strengthened by parasite armor, cannot be exempted.

At the end of the day, there is no such thing as an invincible ability in this world. No matter how strong the skill is, there must be a weakness.

Although Tianlie didn't pay attention to these mutated creatures at all, he still had a lot of fears about Adric's soul attack. Although he was still arrogant, he was not too arrogant, nodded his head, and walked towards the gate of the park.

The mutated creatures in the park, both in terms of quantity and quality, were a step higher than the previous rush to the rest of the city, and more of them gathered together, attacking the meteorite team at the same time.

Although these mutated creatures still do not appear to be under Adric's command, a significant portion of them are social insects. Giant ants and bees, for example, have their own tissue. Coupled with the constant vigilance of Adric's stealth raid, the speed at which the group moved forward was not very fast.

Griffith Park is the largest urban park in the United States, covering more than 4,300 acres of land, including the Los Angeles Zoo, including an observatory, a golf course, a theater and a museum. The meteorite team entered the park from the southwestern entrance, and according to the sensing organs of the parasite armor, the direction with the highest concentration of mutants was at the zoo in the northeast corner of the park.

"That's it. Xia Xiaolei pointed ahead.

The group had just crossed a hill and stood at the top of the hill, looking at the foot of the hill not far away, the nearest gentle slope was a golf course, and some of the past was a tall amusement park facility.

Now, the roller coasters in the amusement park have been destroyed to the point of being destroyed. Further afield, there are various venues in the zoo. The roads between the venues are already crowded with all sorts of monsters. Various mutated creatures are roaming around.

"It's a lot, but it's not a big problem. Nicole simply estimated the balance of power between the two sides in her heart: "Compared to these monsters, how to deal with Adric is more critical." ”

"Yes. Tire nodded: "We have to plan a battle plan." Whether they haven't spotted us yet, or they can't deal with us for the time being, but at least Adric hasn't shown up yet. Nicole, you were once a member of the Angel Legion, tell him everything you know about him. ”

In the past six months, Chen Xiaolian has left the team, and led the team members to life and death, and the tires already have the appearance of a team leader.

And this time, it is the strongest opponent that the Meteorite team will face.

Aside from the Heavenly Spirit, they had not yet fought a second S-class opponent.

And even last time, it was all kinds of coincidences, with the help of the terrain, and at the expense of Nicole, that it was not easy to kill Tianlie.

Even so, the meteorite team was almost wiped out.

And this time, the side that occupies the geographical advantage has become the opposite.

Even if everyone in the team has grown to the point where they have far surpassed the beginning, but facing an S-level opponent again, especially if they still have the advantage of dungeons, if they don't plan well, maybe this time they will really usher in the destruction of the team.

"Lord Adric...... is an assassin. Nicole thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Nonsense. Tianlie rolled his eyes: "Everyone here has seen how he killed Gaza and then left the battlefield immediately!

"Shut your mouth and listen to me!" Nicole glared at Tianlie angrily, "I'm not talking about his strengthening direction, but his style of acting!"

"Okay, go on. Tianlie touched his chin and stopped interjecting.

"Lord Adric is a very cautious man. You folklore team know this best. Nicole looked at the tires: "After the resurrection, I have been back to Zero City a few times, and I have heard about Chen Xiaolian replacing the sword mountain and the sea of fire in the bloody battle. ”

"Hmm. Tire nodded: "I know about this, he killed a member of the Rhodria Regiment for the blue sea, and a person from the Dark Knights." ”

"Actually, there were originally three bloodbaths. Nicole looked at the zoo at the foot of the mountain in the distance: "But in the second game, after Jacob was killed by Chen Xiaolian, His Excellency Adric immediately gave up continuing to send his team to fight and admitted the victory of the sword mountain and the sea of fire. Although he had been planning for that day for a long time. ”

"For a long time?" Jojo looked at Nicole with wide eyes, "For how long?"

"How long has the Heavenly Sword disappeared?" Nicole asked with a smirk, "How can a team that has lost the S-rank master continue to enjoy the various powers of the resident team in Zero City?"

Although it had never been publicized publicly, after the gossip of the disappearance of the Heavenly Sword began to spread in Zero City, all the teams began to move, intending to divide and eat the team that was about to fall. Of course, this has nothing to do with us, because in City Zero, only the Angel Legion will always maintain its purity and independence. But the most active of them all is the Dark Knights.

But even so, after seeing Chen Xiaolian's thunderous blow and judging that he had been promoted to the S rank, His Excellency Adric immediately made a decision to give up all his previous efforts and admit the failure of the blood trial. ”

"A hero. The tire nodded slowly.

"Yes. Nicole smiled faintly: "Just like the blow that killed Gaza just now." Whether it's the way he fights in battle, or the way he plans for the whole team, he's always been this style - never afraid to waste too much time, quietly forbearing, hibernating, waiting, until the moment of the first blow comes. And once he finds that he can't do anything, he will never hesitate, and will immediately give up everything he has paid, and will never drag his feet. ”

"Hmm. Tire nodded: "So, what are his weaknesses?"

"Among the awakened, their own skills are the biggest secret. I'm not from the Dark Knights, so I wouldn't know that well. Nicole shook her head: "Although it is always impossible for an S-class master to completely avoid all kinds of rumors, but in addition to his skill being able to directly attack the opponent's soul, I don't know more about other things." But in general, he's more of a melee player. And a strong person of this level is unlikely to have any habitual weaknesses, such as the assassin's defense is poor, or the warrior's ranged attack ability is too weak. And—"

Nike glanced at Tianlie out of the corner of her eye: "The so-called S-rank only means that you have defeated at least three A+ level opponents in one-on-one battles, but it doesn't mean that all the awakened people who have been crowned with the title of S-rank are of the same level. Not only are there strong and weak divisions between the S ranks, but even under certain conditions, the masters of the S ranks may be defeated by a larger number of low-level opponents. ”

"Are you insinuating me?" Tianlie looked at Nicole and sighed twice.

"It's not an insinuation, I'm just talking about you. Nicole simply stretched out her hand and pointed at Tianlie: "After I was resurrected with this guy, I have fought together many times, and I know his abilities very well." His biggest reliance is the ability to recover from almost unkilling, but when it comes to the ability to kill people and make a final decision, he is still a little worse after all. ”

"You think I can't kill you?" Tianlie clenched his fists and smirked at Nicole.

"Less nonsense. You know I'm talking about comparison to other S-Class. Nicole was not at all intimidated by Tianlie's threat: "Cruelty is not a great skill. ”

"So, what do you suggest?" said Tyre, with a serious expression.

"It's not a suggestion, it's just a warning. Nicole shook her head: "Lord Adric has led the Dark Knights to rise to prominence and become the permanent team of City Zero, and it has been twenty-one years. I'll put it bluntly - his comprehensive combat power can only be above Tianlie, not below him. And his style of acting is never easy to shoot, but once he makes a move, he will hit it with one blow. We're just afraid it's unlikely that we'll be able to use drag-and-run tactics like last time. And - it's better to be prepared to die half of them first. ”
