Chapter 667: Reluctant Decision.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yide saw Leah's suddenly changed face, and immediately asked urgently, wouldn't it be such a coincidence, just set up the flag, and immediately hit the trick?
But he had clearly calculated that the mutant war queen no longer had any back-up moves.
At this moment, he felt a shock on his phone, and the system appeared on task.
"Urgent Mission: Clean the Source of Infection!"
"Mission content: The source of infection has appeared in the area where the commander is located, please clean up the source of infection within the time limit!"
Time Remaining 00:14:59
Reward: One piece of unknown equipment. 》
Punishment: 15-day crate share. 》
"Note: Quest mutant monsters will get amplified if they get close to the source of infection, so please be vigilant. 》
"...........!" Zhang Yide's eyes widened, damn it, it won't be so unlucky, right? As soon as Lea on the front foot looked in the direction of the mutant battle queen, the back foot system issued such a task, that is, where the mutant war queen is located, there is a source of infection?
Leah also saw the task information on Zhang Yide's mobile phone, and she knew what the latter was thinking, so she shook her head and said, "Sir, it's not that bad. ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the side in the center of the battlefield that was constantly being bombed, where somehow, it was already a little black, this black, the whole space had darkened, if it wasn't for Leah's special pointing, I'm afraid Zhang Yide wouldn't have noticed it at the first time.
"Sir, there is an area where the space barrier is weak, and the continuous bombing has shaken the space there, close to fragmentation, and now a small amount of chaotic ghost energy has penetrated in, and it has begun to look for a host, and the source of infection should have been supplemented by a large number of chaotic ghost energy, activated, and only then was detected by the system, but at least for now, this source of infection is not here, and it has not been obtained by the mutant battle queen, which should be considered good news." ”
The bombed point where the mutant warrior is now can only be regarded as the edge of the fragile area of the spatial barrier, and there is still a certain distance from the location of the source of infection, and Leah judged that the source of infection was not obtained by the mutant warrior.
"But. ”
Without waiting for Zhang Yide to be happy, Leah continued to say solemnly: "That mutant battle queen has now been replenished with the leaked Chaos Ghost Energy, its injury recovery will be accelerated, I am not sure that these missiles can leave it in place, and at the same time, if it can escape, its instinctive thirst will make it take the initiative to find more Chaos Ghost Energy, and the source of infection that condenses a large amount of Chaos Ghost Energy will be its target........ Sir, we're in trouble. ”
"If it gets that source of infection, none of us will be its opponents, no, even now that it's replenished by the Chaos Specter, we can't handle it anymore. ”
Leah said it realistically and helplessly.
Originally, they took turns working hard and exerting their strength, and only through continuous weakening did they make that mutant warrior fall into a mortal situation, but who knows, there is actually a vulnerable area of space barrier here, and several rounds of missile bombardment have caused that vulnerable area to disintegrate, leaking out chaotic ghost energy.
It's like fate played a big joke on them.
They played all their hole cards, tried their best, and when they were only one step away from success, they got a big reversal, which was still obtained by their enemies, and I have to say, this joke is too bad.
Moreover, it's not a big deal that the mutant warrior can't die, the key is that if this area that leaks chaotic ghost energy can't be dealt with in time, even if there is no mutant warrior here, this city will become a paradise for monsters.
It's just pushing people to a dead end, and everyone in this city is going to a dead end.
Zhang Yide also felt the grim situation now, the ghost energy in Leah's body had dropped to about 2%, and Sister Tang and Xiao Mu were even closer to being unable to fight, but as the enemy's mutant war queen, she was supplemented by the chaotic ghost energy at this time, and she could quickly recover her state without killing, the enemy was strong and I was weak, such a situation was already extremely bad.
And then the system wants them to find the source of the infection and purify the damn source of infection?
Time is only given 15 minutes?
Although he knew that this time was probably the time before the situation deteriorated further, it was really going to kill people.
"Now. Leah bit her lip and looked up and said, "The only way is to directly break into the heavily infected area where the Chaos Ghost Energy leaks, find the source of infection one step ahead of that mutant battle queen, purify it, and then stay away from here, and wait until our combat strength recovers, and then come back to kill this mutant war queen." ”
"Although the mutant battle queen may kill a lot of people during this time, we have no other way. ”
Hearing Leah say this, Zhang Yide subconsciously shook his head.
"No, what if you break into a heavily infected area in your current state, what if something happens?"
Now that Leah's ghost energy reserves have just recovered to 4%, with such a little energy, not to mention that she will definitely not be able to defeat that mutant battle queen, even if it is a new monster in the heavily infected area, I am afraid it will pose a certain threat to Leah.......... It's not a harmless playground for humans and animals, every time the chaotic ghost energy leaks into the real world, all the creatures that are directly contaminated will quickly mutate, and the heavily infected area can be seen to be in the direction of the sea, and there shouldn't be many people who haven't evacuated there, but even if there aren't many, there will definitely still be people or animals left there, maybe, it's already a scene of monsters running rampant inside.
Therefore, Zhang Yide had to worry about Leah's safety after entering there rashly, this is not a joke, once he encounters danger, he really doesn't even have much strength to resist.
"........." Leah actually knew that she would be nine out of ten deaths if she broke into the severely infected area, but she couldn't think of a way to solve the current situation, she looked at Zhang Yide, and Zhang Yide hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "You wait for me to contact Chen Chong's side first." ”
"Uncle, you should know what happened and what are you going to do?"
Zhang Yide asked directly, but Chen Chong's side was a quarrel, Chen Chong's voice, and many old voices, were arguing fiercely with each other, Zhang Yide could distinguish some key words from it, knowing that Chen Chong had already reported the content of the task released by the system one step ahead, so that the combat meeting composed of military bigwigs understood the severity of the current situation.
Now, military bigwigs are arguing over how to handle the situation.
"It seems that Chen Chong has no time to deal with us in a short period of time. ”
Zhang Yide shook his head and put down his phone, and at this time, Maude's voice came from the communicator.
Maude asked directly: "Xiaode, you also saw the task, right?"
"What can you do, how much ghost energy does your war concubine still have?" Zhang Yide asked helplessly.
"Lynn's ghost energy has been converted into force field energy and injected into the bullet, and now there is probably less than 15% left with the recovery. Maude's voice had a wry smile, just now in order to kill that mutant battle queen, Lin really put her strength into it.
"Yours still have 15%, and my family's Leah has just recovered to 5% now. Zhang Yide said angrily.
"........What then, if we are to accomplish this task, we must leave immediately, otherwise...," Maud said, leaving it unfinished.
"Otherwise, we can only retreat, right?" Zhang Yide continued, he saw that when Leah heard this, his ears moved slightly, he sighed, and said: "Now we have exhausted our hole cards, there is no way, if you let Zhan Ji rashly enter the heavily infected area, it is almost just a matter of sending death, I am reluctant to send my Leah to death, if it really doesn't work, I will choose to retreat, what about you?"
“.……… I will, and I am reluctant to send my Lynn to death, after all, this war has developed to this point, and it is no longer the extent that we can grit our teeth and take a little risk to solve it. Okay, I understand what you're thinking, I'll let Lin come back to me first, prepare for the retreat, and if you have any new ideas there, let me know in time, and if you decide to retreat, let me know. ”
"Okay. Zhang Yide responded, and then the communication was disconnected.
Thinking that he might be forced to evacuate, Zhang Yide sighed and looked at Leah, and then he saw that Leah's beautiful face had a slightly relieved expression.
Zhang Yide hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I really decide to retreat, will you blame me?"
Leah shook her head, showed a slight smile, and said, "No, sir, I know that you are worried about me, compared to so many lives, you choose to care more about me, such a heart, I understand." ”
Leah's answer made Zhang Yide stunned, he rarely heard Leah's words such a straightforward response, so he couldn't accept it for a while, but soon he came back to his senses and smiled, but the smile was a little bitter.
"If you don't blame me, I'm afraid you're going to get into a fight with me because of it. ”
"No, it won't. ”
Leah shook her head, took a step forward, hesitated slightly, stretched out her hands to wrap her arms around Zhang Yide's neck, and then her foreheads touched, and the two breathed closer.
"It's very uncomfortable for you to make this decision, but you have to understand that this is our decision together, and I also want to accompany you to go on, and I don't want to abandon my life here....."
"........ I see. ”
Zhang Yide felt the temperature on Leah's forehead, smiled, then held the latter's shoulder, stepped back slightly, and said: "Then you have a good rest first, I will send a signal for the shuttle to come down, if there is no good news on Chen Chong's side, we can only leave." ”
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Yide stepped aside and made a position to guide the black flag shuttle in the sky to land.
In the process, his heart was still very confused, after all, if he took Leah out of here, it would be almost watching the city fall, and the hundreds of thousands of people who could finally leave, I don't know how many would be left.
But if he was to be asked to purify the source of infection as the system mission said, he didn't have the slightest confidence that Leah would survive.
He has really come into contact with the source of infection a lot of times, which time is not for Leah to go through hardships to get the source of infection, and this time the situation is more dangerous than before, not only is Leah's strength almost exhausted, but there is also a terrifying mutant warrior in front of him who may get out of control at any time and pose a threat to Leah.
This almost visible danger of death made Zhang Yide make the decision to give up.
It was a difficult decision, but he really didn't see any hope of victory, no hope of living.
So....
"That's all there is to it. ”
Zhang Yide sighed in a low voice.
"Little De. ”
At this time, Chen Chong's voice rang on the mobile phone, Zhang Yide immediately raised the mobile phone to his ear, and put it to his ear.
"Uncle, how is it over there, is there a turnaround?" Zhang Yide's tone was a little anxious, he hoped that Chen Chong's side would have a different way, even if it was to take a risk, as long as there was a real chance of success to purify the source of infection, he felt that it was worth it.
“.…………..” Chen Chong was silent for a few seconds before he spoke, his voice carrying a thick tiredness: "You guys get out of here quickly, the superiors have decided to completely abandon this place, and the bombing will stop immediately, and when the missiles that have been launched arrive, the suppression of the mutant battle queen will be completely stopped, and you still have thirty seconds to evacuate." ”
"Don't you even stop the missile bombardment?? Don't you plan to kill that mutant warrior in a wave?" Zhang Yide was a little surprised, he was not surprised that the military planned to give up purifying the source of infection, because there was really nothing to do, but even the missile bombardment stopped, which was not like the style of the military.
"Yes, because according to the assessment of the General Staff, if we continue to bomb, it will lead to further rupture of the space barrier, and it is very likely to cause an even greater catastrophe in the future, so the superiors have unanimously decided to abandon this place for the time being, and wait for us to counterattack back when we have the ability. Chen Zhong explained, but this explanation is a bit weak.
"Wait for the ability....with those clone humanoid legions?" Zhang Yide suddenly sneered and said, "I'm afraid I'm waiting for the 'sky' to come back and make a move." ”
"......." Chen Zhong did not answer directly, he sighed: "There is no way, we can only hope to maintain the status quo and not deepen the disaster." ”
Chen Chong's sigh made Zhang Yide's inexplicable anger just rise down, yes, the military has no choice, he is angry without reason, in fact, he just knows that he is powerless and wants to count on the military, but the military ..... really does not have the power to solve the source of infection and save hundreds of thousands of citizens....
Everyone can't help it, who can blame whom?
It is already rare that the military can sensibly not drop nuclear bombs and not aggravate the disasters suffered here.
It was only at this time that Zhang Yide understood the disadvantages of continuing to drop missiles and even nuclear bombs, so he had nothing to say.
"So be it. ”
Zhang Yide hung up the communication, he held the phone, and looked at "Then so be it." ”
Zhang Yide hung up the communication, he held the phone and watched
