Chapter 9: The Frontline
Wenhai City from west to east, the surrounding area is becoming more and more desolate, and the population is becoming more and more sparse, and soon, Ren Xing and others arrived at the eastern front, and a shocking picture appeared in front of Ren Xing's eyes.
The eastern front of Wenhai City does not have the imaginary barbed wire and trenches, only the endless stone city wall, the scenery is quite retro, like the Great Wall-like fortifications winding and continuous, close to 20 meters high is a little prohibitive.
This is the crystallization of Wenhai City with blood and sweat for so many years, and the miraculous architecture shows the greatness of human beings.
Indeed, against a creature like a ghost, the city wall is indeed much better than barbed wire, after all, the opponent relies on the body to fight, and does not use tools, and the weak ghost level cannot pose a threat to this kind of city wall at all, which greatly reduces the pressure on defense.
But this does not mean that defending the city wall is an easy task, after all, the number of weak ghosts is endless, even if the corpses are constantly destroyed by incineration, there will be many weak ghosts climbing up the corpse mountain every day.
And what's even more noteworthy is that the ghost chief lurks in the middle of the weak ghosts, the ghost chief has a hundred times the strength and speed of the weak ghost, and the body has undergone a certain degree of alienation, the twenty-meter-high stone city wall is simply nothing for the ghost chief, and ordinary bullets are difficult to hurt him, so once a ghost at the level of the ghost chief is found to be close, the artillery and other heavy firepower weapons equipped on the city wall will immediately pour over there.
However, over time, the ghost chiefs also noticed this, and they began to restrain their momentum and hide among the weak ghosts, and when they reached the edge of the city wall, they suddenly rushed up to the city wall.
Every day, three of the six guards will take shifts here, and with other combat forces, they can barely contain the ghost's offensive, and what Wenhai City currently lacks is this kind of talent with high-end individual combat ability.
Ren Xing and a few people climbed the city wall, their ears were filled with the sound of guns and ghosts, looking at the battlefield below like a meat grinder, their stomachs couldn't help but churn a little, but several people had strong willpower and didn't really vomit out.
"Come with me, I'll take you to meet the Hero King, and by the way, take a look at the place where you received the mission." Shi Jian said calmly.
Ren Xing and a few people endured the discomfort and followed Shi Jian through the stairs into the city wall.
The inside of the city wall is a place where the soldiers who fought above to recuperate and rest, and the interior decoration is very simple, but the cleaning is very clean.
Shi Jian didn't stop too much, after passing through a few rooms, he saw a small door with a chic decoration, knocked on the door, and there was no response inside, so Shi Jian pushed the door directly in.
The space inside the door is very small, like a confinement room, the lights inside are not turned on, and when the power is turned on, you can see that there is only a sand table and a chair inside, and a map is hung on the wall, and the room is empty.
Shi Jian sighed, "It seems that the Hero King is not here, and it is estimated that he is bored and runs out to hunt ghosts, so I will take you directly to the task collection place, I think you can't wait." ”
Ren Xing nodded excitedly, he couldn't wait to fight again, the pleasure of wandering on the tip of the knife made Ren Xing want to stop.
The internal structure of the city wall is not complicated, and a few people walked to an electronic bulletin board after a while, there are three types of tasks on it, namely daily class, city defense class and exploration class, and each task will be rewarded with a certain contribution point, and the contribution point can be exchanged for rewards at the military merit office.
The daily class is the safest type of task, mainly responsible for patrolling in Wenhai City and the security management of Wenhai City, easy and safe while experiencing the customs and customs, but the rewards of this kind of task are pitiful, and Ren Xing basically will not consider this kind of task.
The content of the Defending Quest is the same as its name, which is to defend the city wall, and the reward will increase according to the number of ghosts killed in addition to the fixed contribution points on duty every day.
Adventure missions are the most dangerous and have the most generous rewards, mainly including going out of the city to save people, hunting evil ghosts, searching for resources, etc., these tasks need to go out of the city and face the siege of unknown ghosts, so most of them need to be led by strong people to complete.
However, these classifications are not absolute, and there are some missions with extremely high rewards in the daily class, such as dangerous tasks such as catching serial murderers, which have high bounties.
And some of the quests are marked in red font, click on these red quests and you will find that they are remarked, and completing this quest will help you pass the main story.
There is no doubt that this type of task in red font will be the type of priority that any person in the line needs to complete at this stage.
After browsing the task list again, Ren Xing finally took a fancy to two tasks marked with red letters, one is the city defense mission, and the other is the exploration mission, the specific content is as follows.
[Solid as an Iron Wall: Defend the East Wall of Wenhai City]

【Human Tinder: Saving Stranded Children in the Eastern Hills】

Hazard Class: A
Failure Condition: Self-Death; The target was not rescued; The task time limit is exceeded
Warning: It is uncertain whether there will be unknown risks in expedition missions, so please be cautious about claiming them.
After thinking about it, Ren Xing chose the task of "human tinder", although this task has a high danger level, but in fact, it will also rely on a little luck, if you do a good job of stealth, it is not difficult to complete this task, and more importantly, Ren Xing, who is kind by nature, wants to save the lives of others from the heart, and it is nothing for Ren Xing to bear some dangers for this.
While Ren Xing was thinking, the other team members had already taken over their tasks. Yin Yang and Jin Xi both accepted the task of defending the city, while Tu Mei accepted the daily task, according to Tu Mei, so that they could eat food cooked by different people.
This period of time is a time for personal training, and the four of them really don't need to act as a team, and Jin Xi and Yin Yang are naturally unwilling after seeing the difference in strength between themselves and Tu Mei, and they are eager to improve their strength through training, and Ren Xing is no exception.
After taking over the task of human tinder, Ren Xing separated from several people. Human fire needs two people to complete it together, so Ren Xing first went to the military merit office next to him to check the rewards that can be exchanged for contribution points, opened the panel of military merit rewards, and the dazzling information popped up, Ren Xing was not in a hurry, and began to look through it patiently.
Although there are a lot of exchangeable items, there are also many things that are not used, such as bows and arrows, bullets, these are not as good as garbage for any line with 0 shooting skills, and there are only a few that can arouse the interest of any line in the end.
First of all, there are some medicines, such as [Advanced Hemostatic Elixir] [Hope Cell Resistance], which can save your life, and then there are some bronze-level equipment that are more suitable.
【Cell Enhancer】

[Deconstructing the Fragments (Hope World-03)]

There are more perverted exchange props in the back, such as [Shield Guard Template] [Hero King Template] and other props that affect the ability system, but the prices of these are all 7-figure sky-high prices, and Ren Xing doesn't dare to look at them.
When he returned to the mission announcement, he found that he had already been joined by another companion in the next mission, and the location was also written on the announcement, so that Ren Xing could prepare to go to the No. 3 lounge to find the other party.
Following the road sign, Ren Xing quickly arrived at the No. 3 lounge, and before he pushed the door in, he heard a milky voice from inside, "Why can't I go, such a difficult task, who can do it except me, huh?" ”
"Don't be a little grumpy, you're the protector of the six guards, who will protect Lord Android when you go out on a mission?" A deep voice reprimanded.
Ren Xing pushed the door in, and saw Feng Xiaoyao and Shi Jian arguing face-to-face, and the two were also stunned when they saw Ren Xing coming in, but Feng Xiaoyao quickly looked happy, "Haha, Ren Xing, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, and secretly tell you that I specially chose a task with you." ”
Ren Xing knew that it was Feng Xiaoyao who went out with him, so he was naturally overjoyed, but he was still a little puzzled: "You are the sixth guard of the protector, is it okay to sneak out and do tasks with me?" ”
"I asked Lord Android for instructions, I said I was going to protect you, Lord Android immediately agreed, No, look, this is Lord Android's edict, Shi Jian, you can't stop me this time, it's so boring to nest in the city every day, I'm going to go outside to kill ghosts, slightly." Feng Xiaoyao said and grimaced at Shi Jian.
Shi Jian was helpless, after all, Lord Android's edict had come out, and he had no right to interfere.
"Then stay safe." Shi Jian sighed and walked out.
"Don't worry, with me, it's going to be fine." Feng Yao jumped to Ren Xing's side, "Don't be in a daze, let's go." ”
"Uh, now? There are so many ghosts out there, don't you have to sneak out at night or something? Ren Xing was a little confused.
"It's okay, brother will take you, don't be afraid." Feng Xiaoyao smiled more and more cheerfully, but the smile made Ren Xing a little scared.
"Ahh I saw that the wind was free to carry Ren Xing directly on his shoulder, and the wind rushed towards the city wall.
"Let's go! Kill the ghosts! Feng Xiaoyao was in good spirits, and jumped into the ghosts below the city wall with joy, and Ren Xing's tears were almost frightened out by the tears he carried on his body.
I thought that with a six-guard as a teammate, this mission should be stable, but at present, it seems that this wind is too unreliable.
Feng Xiaoyao's speed is very fast, Ren Xing only feels that the world is spinning and has reached the bottom of the city wall, Feng Xiaoyao carries Ren Xing in one hand, and harvests the lives of the surrounding ghosts with a sword in the other, under his hands, the ghost chief is as vulnerable as a weak ghost, a sword is stabbed, and the ghost has been separated before he feels the pain.
After running like this for a while, Feng Xiaoyao saw that Ren Xing's face on his back was a little ugly, and then he realized that he seemed to be a little cruel to Ren Xing, and quickly put Ren Xing down, and said with a smile: "Oh, look at me, it's cool to patronize yourself, forget you, the ghosts in this place will be left to you to make amends, I'll go over there." ”
After saying this, Feng Xiaoyao disappeared, leaving Ren Xing alone in this Shura field surrounded by evil spirits.
The act of killing the wind and killing just now has attracted the attention of the ghosts, and most of the ghosts have already come over to this side, and when they see Ren Xing at this moment, countless bloodthirsty eyes seem to be condensed into substance, for fear that the prey will run away.
Ren Xing, who had not yet come to his senses, stayed where he was, resisting the urge to vomit.
The cold wind with the smell of blood was blowing, and Ren Xing felt death drifting past him.
However, Ren Xinghao has also experienced the situation of the death train, and now his willpower and combat effectiveness are at the peak, and after a short lag, Ren Xing immediately regained consciousness, he took out the blunt knife behind his back, and faced the ghosts attacking around him, using all his strength, and shouted out the four big words.
"Ahh Help me! ”
While shouting, Ren Xing ran in the direction of the wind and left, waving the long knife, and the weak ghosts blocking the way were all flying, Ren Xing is not a fool, in this case, if he does not keep moving, he will definitely be overwhelmed by the ghosts that are surging around, only by moving forward, can there be hope of survival, once the momentum of the forward rush stops, then he will definitely be haunted by ten thousand ghosts.
"Die, die, die! Wind Away, You Bastard! Get the hell out of here! Ren Xing roared hysterically as he dealt with the enemies around him.
The current situation is different from the death train, in which Ren Xing at least has a target to find, whether it is holding the carriage or attacking the driver's cab, Ren Xing can still see a glimmer of hope.
And now, I am alone on the battlefield where weak ghosts are like ants and ghosts are walking everywhere, and Ren Xing is like a piece of fat falling into a tiger pile, and he will be eaten in minutes without even a bone.
"This Ren Xing, didn't he say a good brother, why did he say this about me behind my back." Feng Xiaoyao, who was hiding next to him, complained a little depressedly.
"In that case, let's hang him for a while and see where his limits are."
Ren Xing didn't know that this was a test of his strength, he only sold him when his teammates were not very good, but his strong desire to survive and his will to never give up still made him insist on slashing the long knife in his hand.
After the first layer of the Greed Code was opened, Ren Xing's strength had obviously improved a lot, even if dozens of weak ghosts were in front of him, Ren Xing could easily knock the other party away, and the existence of the chest protection armor on his body also resisted a lot of damage for himself, and the attack of the weak ghost was difficult to pose a threat to Ren Xing, who was currently physically strong.
In this way, Ren Xing walked farther and farther in one direction, did not dare to stop for a moment, traveled about 100 meters, and the ghosts coming in front gradually became scarce, Ren Xing looked up and found that a huge tree 100 meters high was standing in front of him, this tree was abruptly rooted in the battlefield full of death, it blocked the ghosts coming in front of him, and Ren Xing's pressure was greatly reduced.
When encountering this kind of terrain, how could Ren Xing not take advantage of it, immediately lean his back against the giant tree, no longer worry about the enemy on his back, and concentrate on the enemy coming in front of him.
Now I only need to wait for an opportunity, as soon as there is a vacancy around me, Ren Xing will climb the tree. Even if a weak ghost can climb a tree, his speed is definitely not fast, and the defensive pressure will definitely be reduced a lot when he reaches the tree.
Thinking of this, Ren Xing's fighting spirit was rekindled in his heart, and he repelled the weak ghosts that came around him one by one.
"Chance!" After Ren Xing slashed with a knife, the weak ghosts in the outer layer did not surround him immediately, and Ren Xing quickly jumped backwards, trying to climb the tree.
Ren Xing had already seen the opportunity to escape, but he had just climbed up less than two meters, and there was a sense of crisis behind him, this time Ren Xing reacted in a timely manner, and quickly jumped off the trunk without any harm.
Ren Xing, who fell to the ground, looked up, and a spike-wrapped sphere pierced the place where Ren Xing had just stayed, and after a second, the sphere slowly opened, revealing a head with a hideous face from inside.
"Hiss ——!" With a howl, the weak ghosts around Ren Xing all retreated in fear. There is no doubt that the other party definitely has the strength of a ghost leader, Ren Xing rubbed his somewhat sore shoulder, and a familiar smile appeared on his face.
Before the death train, Ren Xing was not in good shape, the ghost chief did not do his best, and neither side showed the strongest strength.
Now it was the first time since he awakened at the first level of the Greed Code that he had one-on-one with a fully formed ghost elder in a perfect state, and Ren Xing wanted to know how far his strength had improved.
