Chapter 3 Beginner Tasks
After activating the defense system in the infirmary, it was immediately enveloped by a powerful energy stance, and even the powerhouses of the Leaping Gate Realm could not break through. The people who are staying in the infirmary now, except for the medical staff and Kureha, are all knights with entry-level strength, and most of them are people who have been placed here because of their limited ability to fight against high-level alien beasts such as ghost striped dogs.
The cavern near the infirmary, which had been formed by the explosion, had been fenced off by the knights, who were waiting behind the fence with weapons, and some even had extremely rare equipment in their hands - shotguns. Firearms, a weapon that allows ordinary people to obtain a certain amount of combat power in the Leap Gate Realm, have always been strictly controlled, and in addition to the large-scale equipment of the military department, there are not many knights equipped with them. The entire fortification was very rudimentary, and there were only seven or eight elite knights on the defense, but it was the best that could be done in just a few minutes with the current manpower.
Wu Yu stayed in front of the window and watched the knights defending the hole nervously reinforcing the fortifications, and his heart was a little depressed. Although he is also an elite level, he is untrained and a speed type, and the knight captain in charge of defending the cave has decided to put him on standby in the infirmary as a medical logistician.
Low to low, if he really wanted Wu Yu to join the defense team, he still refused in his heart, after all, the damage he could inflict on the alien beast was limited, and he couldn't think of any means to charge and kill head-on.
"Young man, are you a new knight?" said an uncle, who came over to see that the costume was the support staff of the knight's office.
"Yes. ”
Seeing Wu Yu nodding, the uncle smiled and asked, "What's the matter, are you afraid?"
"There are some people who have seen this kind of scene for the first time since they were young. ”
"Hahaha, you are indeed unlucky, you came a few days early. If I had come a few days late, I would have avoided today's situation."
Wu Yu smiled bitterly, the rookie knight of the Lin Box Knight Office officially arrived four days later. In order to avoid the rush hour, Wu Yu specially arrived early. As a result, it encountered an invasion of alien beasts that was more than ten times more troublesome than squeezing the train, and with the actual situation of the Lin box, even if it was a major holiday, the train would not be satisfied.
"Don't worry, our knight uses plasma power supply, and the strength of the defense system is not covered, unless the boss of the coercive realm makes a move, otherwise it will not be able to break the energy position at all. It's fairly safe to stay here..."The uncle in front of him seemed to be a technician in charge of the knight's defense system, and began to introduce Wu Yu to how powerful the knight's energy supply was, and how strong the energy position was.
Although the uncle's confidence in the defense system was very intuitive, Wu Yu was faintly uneasy in his heart. Judging from the information he knew, there were currently two caves inside the knight's office, one near the command room and the other in the infirmary, and the two were far apart. Because of the large number of elite knights sent abroad, the actual defense strength of the knights is very limited, and the only defense of dozens of people in the cave in front of them shows this. If a large number of alien beasts invade, the knights' defensive front may be shattered at the first touch, and then they can only rely on the defense system touted by this uncle. Rather than believing in the protection of others, Wu Yu still prefers to believe in his own ability.
At this moment, the light in the infirmary suddenly flashed, and the uncle's face froze: "No." Before he could finish speaking, the entire knight's house was plunged into darkness.
The lights came on quickly, but the uncle lost his previous self-confidence, he didn't say anything more to Wu Yu, but left the window, took out his mobile phone and started to call.
Unfortunately, Wu Yu saw through the window that the soil near the cave seemed to shake.
Boom! With the dust in the sky, a strange beast broke out of the hole, and the bad thing was that what caught Wu Yu's eyes was not the ghost pattern dog that he could still play, but the high-level alien beast that most elite-level star initiators didn't want to encounter—the magic mantis. Both belong to the superior beasts, the difference between the individual strength of the Demon Mantis and the Ghost Striped Dog is huge, for the elite-level Star Initiator, the Demon Mantis with strong attack ability and high-speed action is an extremely terrifying opponent, and in one-on-one situations, it often ends in the victory of the Demon Mantis.
Without time to react to the defending knights, the mantis came out of the hole and immediately swung its scythe-like forearm at the knights behind the fence.
"Careful, get out of the way" With the shouting and collision sounds, the attack of the magic mantis did not split the fence in two, but the area where the fence was hit was also severely deformed.
When deploying the defense, I didn't expect that it was a strange beast with a powerful single ability, and for a while, the knight with a melee weapon didn't know how to deal with it, and the crazy waving arms of the magic mantis were prohibitive.
"Shoot!"
With a few gunshots, the mantis's weak torso was blasted into a sieve and flew upside down. The surrounding knights were all relieved to see this scene. But soon their expressions froze again—two more sprang out of the hole.
"Shoot!" The captain of the defense team gave the order again, he didn't know why the individually conscious mantis acted in groups, and now he could only defend it.
The infirmary was also in a panic now, and the uncle who was talking to Wu Yu just now was talking to the person in charge of the infirmary with an anxious expression. Wu Yu saw that the magic mantis kept coming out of the hole, and knew that tonight would be very dangerous.
"You're the speed type, boy, aren't you? The uncle came to Wu Yu again, his expression was no longer as relaxed as when they first met, and he was very serious. Without waiting for Wu Yu to answer, he handed over a magnetic card.
"There's one thing that only you can do here. ”
Wu Yu carried a shotgun on his back and ran wildly in the direction of the command room, Wu Yu didn't expect that the amount of exercise in the past two hours would be equal to the sum of his weekday and week. He didn't see a single person along the way, and there wasn't much safe place for the knights now, and most of them fled to buildings where they could take defensive positions.
"Brother Lin, did you ask you to deliver the card?" Feng Shuo, who came to pick him up, appeared in front of Wu Yu with a long sword in his hand and asked not far away. Brother Lin in Feng Shuo's mouth is the uncle in the infirmary, and he is also the energy director of the knight's office.
"yes, stuck here. Wu Yu stopped and was about to pull out the card in his pocket.
"Follow me first. ”
Feng Shuo deliberately controlled the speed, and Wu Yu was just able to keep up at full speed.
"Has the infirmary started to move over there?" On the way, Feng Shuo began to inquire about the situation in Wu Yu's infirmary.
"When I left, I was almost in the watchtower. "The emergency power supply can provide limited energy, and the current defensive stance is also a matter of a few claws of the Mantis, for safety reasons, the people in the infirmary have decided to move to the watchtower, where the upper level is large enough for everyone, and the staircase is narrow enough to facilitate defense.
"Very well! What's going on there? Is his spirit ring belted?"
"I have been injected with a revival agent, and according to the condition of the injury, it is expected that I will not wake up until 30 minutes. The spirit ring is in the pocket, and it is only filled with about 20 energy. ”
"Damn, let's hope we'll be alive when he wakes up. ”
A demon mantis sprang out from behind the tree and attacked Feng Shuo, but Feng Shuo swung his sword and split it in half, and continued to move forward without looking at it.
It's so strong. Wu Yu said silently in his heart. Although he could see the sword movements clearly, Feng Shuo's strength was not comparable to that of his ten own combined.
The fact that you can encounter strange beasts here also proves that it is not far from the building where the command room is located. As more and more demon mantis corpses appeared, a building appeared in Wu Yu's eyes, and they finally arrived. The mantis obviously didn't cause much damage here, unlike the infirmary where the defense area was large and the defense was tight, the knights here would directly fence the gate and use their guns to fire in an orderly manner to prevent the attack of the mantis. The demon mantis suffered heavy casualties, and the rest lost their desire to attack, and left one after another to find new targets to attack, and Feng Shuo had just killed one of them.
Walking into the building, Feng Shuo took Wu Yu straight to the basement floor and came to a closed door.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Feng Shuo, and as you can see, I am a knight of rank here. Hearing Feng Shuo begin to introduce himself, Wu Yu felt a little uneasy.
"Listen to me, Wu Yu, maybe my next request is a bit excessive, but there is really no way. Feng Shuo showed a look of embarrassment, "The director was seriously injured and bedridden by the enemy who jumped into the Gate Realm, I can't stay too far away from him, but now the main energy source is closed, the energy room cannot be contacted, and the knight's office can't last long only by emergency power supply, so we need a person to enter the energy room and turn on the main energy again." ”
Wu Yu probably knew what Feng Shuo meant, and he wanted to let himself start the energy. "But you just went out to pick me up, is the energy room farther away?"
"It's because ......" After hesitating, Feng Shuo still decided to tell Wu Yu the whole thing: "Because the Yuemen Realm that attacked the director is not the same person who attacked Riske, but these two may be here, if I go to the energy room and be entangled by one of them, and the other goes to kill the director, it will make the current situation of Lin Box even more unfavorable." Everyone can die, including me, but not the director, his command is crucial to us, and it is the key to getting Lin Box out of danger. ”
"What do you mean...... Do I have a chance to meet the enemies of the Yuemen Realm?" Wu Yu was a little stunned.
"That's right, behind this gate, there may be an enemy in ambush who has crossed the gate. It's a rough task for a rookie, but at the moment you're the best choice for us, and I've seen your stats, and your speed rating is the fastest in our elite class, and you happen to be in the Knights' Academy. ”
"If you really encounter the Yuemen Realm, just open the spirit ring and desperately flee to it, and I will rescue you in time. But if it's a low-level alien beast, the gun on your back can solve it. Will you be up to the task?"
Feng Shuo said a lot in one breath, and Wu Yu frowned after hearing this, leaving the atmosphere silent for a while.
"Alas, well. Wu Yu sighed, but decided to challenge himself. He didn't like the feeling that his life was in the hands of others, and he didn't like it that other people's lives and deaths were at his disposal.
"Great! I'll tell you about the infrastructure of the energy room. ”
After Feng Shuo explained the details to be paid attention to in the energy room, he taught Wu Yu how to use the gun in his hand, and finally he took off the spirit ring on his right arm and handed it to Wu Yu: "My spirit ring is for you, give me Riske's." ”
After the two exchanged the spirit rings in their hands, Feng Shuo continued: "My spirit ring is still full of energy, you go in and encounter the Yuemen realm, you don't need to entangle, just unfold the spirit ring position and retreat." ”
Seeing Feng Shuo give his spirit ring to himself, Wu Yu felt a trace of warmth. The spirit ring taken off is in the shape of a half-moon tube, after getting familiar with the operation of the spirit ring, Wu Yu placed the spirit ring on his right arm, and after a slight electric sound, energy was emitted from the interface, and the remaining half of the spirit ring was replenished, forming a ring and wearing it on Wu Yu's arm.
Nodding his head to Feng Shuo, Wu Yu walked to the closed door and swiped the card in his hand at the identification lock. With a bang, the door opened, and the powerhouse who did not jump into the gate realm launched an attack when he opened the door, the light source provided by the emergency lights inside was quite sufficient, and a downward passage appeared in front of the two, Wu Yu swallowed nervously and took a step inside.
But as soon as he took a step, Wu Yu stopped again, turned his back on Feng Shuo and asked, "Will you wait for me here?"
"I'm sorry, I have to stay up there, protect the director. ”
"Good ......"
"Gotta come back alive. Feng Shuo's voice sounded behind him. Wu Yu nodded back, unfolded the spirit ring, and an energy circle surrounded him, and Wu Yu rushed into the passage in one go.
I'm sorry. Looking at Wu Yu's back, Feng Shuo lowered his head. He knew that if there was really a Yuemen Realm hiding in it, even if Wu Yu had the protection of the spirit ring, it would be difficult for him to survive. Giving him his spiritual ring is only psychologically encouraging him to accept the task. If Wu Yu can successfully restore the energy supply and come back alive, it will naturally be the best result; if he fails, he will only lose a speed-type star enlightener with low growth potential, there are so many knights fighting to the death tonight, in order to survive more people, although he can't get over it on his conscience, Feng Shuo must gamble.
As the automatic door closed in front of him, Wu Yu disappeared from vision, and Feng Shuo turned to leave.
Wu Yu tried his best to run wildly in the passage, he usually liked to see the comparison of the strength of the Star Enlightener the most, and he couldn't be clearer than he could escape the pursuit of the Yuemen Realm if he gave him ten spirit rings. Wu Yu wanted to rush to the energy room as soon as possible while Feng Shuo hadn't gone far, so that when he encountered an enemy in the Yuemen Realm halfway, he would have a higher chance of surviving. But the wide passage soon came to an end, and there was another automatic door that was the same as the one just now. Wu Yu had to slow down, swiped the card vigilantly, the automatic door opened, and there was still no enemy appearing, but the emergency lights inside were different from the bright blue fluorescence of the passage, which was a dim yellow warning color.
The conversion layer has arrived.
The plasma used by the Knights of the Box for energy supply is a violent energy source that can supply a large household with only a small spoonful of electricity for a week or two, but also because it is very unstable, it needs to use a large number of conversion devices to ensure that it is converted into a stable power supply. For this reason, there are three floors of the underground space of the Lin Box Knight, which is a special plasma conversion layer, and the fourth underground floor is the energy room, which is also where the plasma pool is located.
The dim yellow light in front of him made Wu Yu not dare to move forward quickly, so he could only remain vigilant and walk forward slowly and softly. The room was surrounded by huge mechanical devices, and the corners that the emergency lights couldn't illuminate looked like enemies lurking. Wu Yu trembled and prayed in his heart, praying that the Yuemen Realm was full of sunshine and upright people, and would not launch a surprise attack from a dark corner. Obviously, the door opposite was less than a hundred meters, but Wu Yu recalled his past with every step, and when he finished recalling his 20-year-old life, he finally walked to the door.
It seemed that Wu Yu's prayers had an effect, until he opened the next automatic door, and there was nothing abnormal around. The familiar blue fluorescence reappeared, and Wu Yu quickly glanced back at the room behind him, and then continued to run wildly in the passage.
Fortunately, until Wu Yu reached the gate of the energy room, there was no danger. He was leaning against the wall and panting, cold sweat already soaking his back. The journey was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, obviously it was only a three-story journey, Wu Yu spent more than ten minutes, and the energy consumed was far more than when he fled to the knight's station.
After calming his breath, Wu Yu looked up at the final level of this mission, the energy room.
Swiping cards, retreating, and observing, Wu Yu's series of actions were smooth, but except for the bright blue light inside the door, it was surprising, and nothing jumped out of the door.
To ensure that the defensive power of his spirit ring was turned on to the maximum, Wu Yu quietly walked into the energy room. The blue light in the energy chamber emanated from the huge tank-like container in front of the doorway.
Is this the container where the plasma pool is stored? Wu Yu continued to move forward and saw the console - just swipe the card there, press the on/off button and he will complete the task. Although I have doubts about the design of the card, it is great to be able to complete the task safely all the way. Wu Yu thought so, and almost jumped to the console with joy.
A subtle sound came into Wu Yu's ears at this time, like the sound of chewing. Wu Yu leaned down and sneaked forward. The worktop is flanked by a descending staircase that leads to the front of the plasma container. Kureha approached the console and got up to look down.
Hmm, Wu Yu hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent making a sound and squatted down. Worse things happened, there was a strange beast with its back to the console, it looked like a mantis from its back, but it was much larger, and its brown color was different from the black of the mantis. Two humans in white coats collapsed in pools of blood, which became its food. The automatic door to the energy room also closes automatically.
Damn, I don't want to be an add-on. This thing doesn't seem to be able to hear, and it doesn't respond to the sound of opening the door, so it's good to sneak away after activating. Having made up his mind, Wu Yu gritted his teeth, got up and swiped the starting area of the console and pressed the switch.
"Boom! "The huge system sounded.
Ahh Wu Yu cursed inwardly at the designer who made the system, but a loud flapping of wings sounded—the alien beast saw him in the air.
At this moment, Wu Yu immediately made a judgment, and he pressed the switch of the plasma pool container again, and now the chance of escape can be increased a little.
"Danger, whether it is ...... or not"
"You're big. Without waiting for the system to answer, Wu Yu clicked the button again. But the beast's claws also arrived.
With a dull impact sound, Wu Yu was hit on the automatic door, and the spirit ring relieved a large amount of impact, but Wu Yu was still affected by some and it took a while to stand up.
Damn, so fast. Is this an upgraded version of the Mantis, why haven't I seen it in the book? Before Wu Yu could stand up, the brown mantis slashed at him again. Wu Yu turned slightly sideways, but was still swept away, and the bounce flew to the right side of the energy room. Wu Yu remembered that he still had a shotgun behind his back, so he immediately took it off, and after opening the safety device, he shot at the flying beast.
"Ahh The brown mantis only paused for a moment, but did not take any substantial damage, and the shotgun also fell out of Wu's reach.
Wu Yu began to regret accepting this task. I couldn't match the speed at all, and the gun was useless, so it seemed that I had to flee to the observation room. Feng Shuo and Wu Yu said that there was a small room in the container where the plasma pool was stored, called the observation room, and if the energy room ran into the Yuemen realm and couldn't escape from it, it was better to try to escape to that room. The energy in the plasma pool is very irritable, and the elite-level knights without the spirit ring will be electrocuted if they enter, even if they jump into the Gate Realm, it will be difficult to move an inch, and the defensive position of the observation room is also the strongest in the entire knight, as long as they enter first, the Yue Gate Realm will not be able to take Wu Yu.
Now the brown mantis in front of Wu Yu has no spirit ring, and escaping to the observation room is obviously the best choice. Spelled. Kureha began to deliberately move in the direction of the plasma pool.
But the brown mantis attack never stopped, Wu Yu was flying around like a ping-pong ball, and the color of the spirit ring energy position was already very dim.
When the opportunity came, Kureha seized a clever moment and let the huge claws strike him to the door of the plasma pool.
"Thank you,. The position of the spirit ring on his body was already looming, Wu Yu was glad that the claw just now did not split himself in half, and immediately got up and entered the plasma pool, swiped the card and closed the door.
The door slowly closed, and after stepping into the plasma pool, a small bridge passage led directly to the observation room, and dozens of meters below the small bridge was a calm and manic plasma pool. Wu Yu didn't stop for a moment, and immediately ran towards the observation room.
Although he had a spiritual ring on his body, Wu Yu still felt a little numb in his body. He looked back and saw that the brown beast was screaming, trying to step inside, but it was immediately electrocuted again.
Okay, it's just one step away from being safe. Seeing that it couldn't get in, Wu Yu relieved himself and continued to run towards the observation room.
Shout.
It was a slight sound, but Wu Yu did hear it, and along with it, there was also the sound of the spirit ring energy being exhausted.
"Ahhh He didn't understand what was going on, the spirit ring would suddenly run out of energy, whether it would be a loss of energy if it was walking in a plasma pool, or if there was a long-range attack method to hunt down his alien beast.
But Wu Yu didn't even have the strength to turn back, he staggered and hit the railing of the bridge, and fell out of balance. After devouring Wu Yu, the seemingly calm plasma pool immediately became agitated, faintly forming a lightning storm, but in less than a minute, it was calm again.
