Volume 1 Departure Chapter 27 The sacrifice must be sacrificed
This virtual space map is on the edge of a Grand Canyon.
On the right was the canyon, from which some scarlet demons crawled out and charged towards Ling An and their team of ten.
The left side is more open, but it also means that it is easier for the Crimson Devil to see, so it is better to go to the edge of the canyon, so that there are some boulders to cover up.
Ling An is moving forward under the protection of Ladybug 233 and Xiang Qingsong.
He himself held the revolver in one hand and the hilt of the knife in the other, always on guard.
As a mission objective, he is the primary target of alien monsters.
In previous missions, there were even trainers who were selected as mission targets to attract more than twenty Crimson Demons to attack.
Naturally, the hapless trainer was torn to shreds without suspense and was forcibly withdrawn from the virtual space connection.
And the rest of the people, because of more and more scarlet demons, failed to reach their destination.
So to complete this task, the most taboo thing is to stay in one place for too long.
In this case, it is possible not to fight without fighting, and the best situation is that you don't need to fire a single shot or knife the whole time.
However, there are times when you have to fight.
Like, now.
Because the three Ye Zixu who opened the way in front of them and a scarlet demon encountered each other head-on, this guy let out a roar before he was killed.
In the virtual simulation, the form and combat style of these Crimson Demons are modeled after the real Martian battlefield.
Therefore, its roar will attract all the scarlet demons around it.
Two crawled out on the right.
One came after him and one in front.
Not on the left side, but with the use of the telescope, Ling An and the others had already discovered that there were at least a dozen scarlet demons roaming the vast land on the left.
"Big man, you go to the back! Don't let the back get tangled. Ye Zixu did not panic because of this situation.
He commanded calmly, then drew his blade and confronted the scarlet demon head-on.
The big man nodded, swerved with his machine gun, and fired at the two Scarlet Demons who had climbed up from the cliff on the right.
Fire suppression.
And the same is true for Ling An's side, at this distance, the gun is still useful, he, Ladybug 233, and Ye Zixu use the rifle together to cooperate with the heavy firepower of the big man.
As for the scarlet demon in the back, it will be handed over to the comrades in charge of the rear wing.
While continuing to fire, Ling An slowly walked towards the big man with the two guards in tow.
The march of the team must not be too slow, otherwise it will surely reach a stalemate.
Ahead, Ye Zixu had already cut off the two most dangerous front paws of the Scarlet Demon.
Because these monsters are still humanoid, they have some weaknesses in their joints.
In a one-on-one situation, Ye Zixu, who has the physical fitness of a D-class warrior, can completely deal with it.
According to the instructor of the Alien Illustrated Course, there are many kinds of monsters of the Alien Race.
Even the Scarlet Devil, which is called a reptile, has two "models".
One is the cannon fodder on the battlefield, that is, the normal scarlet demons. Even a single D-class warrior can easily kill several.
Cannon fodder-type Crimson Demons are more like normal creatures that can be killed by decapitation.
The only advantage of this Scarlet Demon is its numbers and its lack of fear of death.
The other is the infiltrating scarlet ghost that Ye Zixu and Ling An are facing.
They are called infiltrators because they are often only found in mining areas and resource areas behind the front line of defense.
Able to cross the defensive line, these Crimson Demons themselves have a certain amount of intelligence, and their strength and speed are not comparable to cannon fodder type Scarlet Demons.
A D-class warrior who is usually able to take out an infiltrated Crimson Goblin in a one-on-one situation with a Chopper Blade.
At this moment, Ye Zixu took advantage of the gap between the monster's attacks and cut off its arm in the process of maneuvering with it.
Bang bang!
Another lanky trainer in charge of clearing the way saw an opportunity to crumble the scarlet demon's knee with a revolver.
The revolver is actually a light type of blaster, which is extremely powerful, but it is difficult to directly shatter the red crystals in the brain of the scarlet demon.
So these two shots were to contain the Scarlet Demon's actions and make it have to kneel on both knees.
Ye Zixu held the knife in both hands and slashed horizontally at its neck.
Whoa—
The ugly head of the Crimson Demon is cut off.
Some granulations can be seen rapidly emerging from the severed part of the head, attempting to reconnect with the neck.
Ye Zixu snorted coldly, cut off these flesh buds with another knife, picked up the head, and threw it towards the cliff on the right.
The hardest things on the Crimson Devil's body are its claws and skull.
In this case, there is no need to delay the time to crack open its skull and destroy the red crystal.
The three of Ling An had already gathered with the big man. The two scarlet demons were directly suppressed by fire, and a few revolvers bombarded off the cliff,
The four people in the back have also dealt with the scarlet demon that chased alone.
Ling An looked at the scarlet demon that was motionless after Ye Zixu's head was cut off.
"Keep walking!"
The group moved on, changing ammunition as they went.
Firearms are the safest to use, but they are also extremely inefficient.
According to this kind of consumption, the pills they carried on them could support two such attacks at most.
"If there are no more than two of them, try to use the Chopper Blade to fight. Save some ammunition. Ling An said to Ladybug 233 and Xiang Qingsong.
The two nodded.
They were also very convinced of Ling An.
If it weren't for Ling An being the target of the mission, he would also be the one who opened the way ahead.
But since he has been chosen as the target of the mission, he must accept the protection of others.
didn't go far before Ling An and the others fell into a crisis again.
They passed through an area uncovered by boulders, and a scarlet demon signaled to its fellow citizens before being slain.
With no boulders to cover them, they were completely exposed to the Scarlet Demons.
So now, Ling An and the others were running away, and the big man directly threw away the machine gun that was in the way.
There's no way, the dozen or so big guys in the back are chasing after you.
"001, why don't I get them out of the way?" Ling An ran to Ye Zixu's side.
"I'm the target of the mission, they will attack me first, there shouldn't be many reptiles around here, you rush straight to the destination."
Ye Zixu shook his head.
"No, 002, if you lose it here, we'll lose fifty points."
The completion of this task is measured by the score.
The mission objective reached the destination alive, fifty points.
The rest of the one, five points.
Slay a Crimson Devil, five points.
If you reach 60 points, you will be able to pass.
So if Ling An, who was the target of the mission, died, Ye Zixu and the others would have to kill a scarlet demon. And if someone loses in the process, it's even harder.
"But they're chasing after them so closely, and sooner or later we won't be able to catch up." Ling An said worriedly.
The Scarlet Devil's stamina is much better than that of humans.
Beside him, Xiang Qingsong and Ladybug 233 glanced at each other and said:
"Let's go to the Queen."
In this situation, there must be people after the break, but not too many, otherwise the team behind will have to kill more Scarlet Demons.
But if it is too little and too weak, it will be difficult to procrastinate effectively.
Ye Zixu pondered for a while.
"Big man, you go with Mantis 131!"
The panting big man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Mantis 131 was in charge of the flank before, and after hearing Ye Zixu's order, he hesitated and agreed.
The strength of the two of them was also good, but the big man's stamina was consumed too quickly, and Mantis 131 was injured when he dealt with the scarlet demon behind him earlier.
If they are chased like this, they will be left behind sooner or later, so it is better to let them sacrifice here.
This is not Ye Zixu cold, as the captain, he must ensure the completion of the task.
"Thanks, brother." Ling An threw his two grenades to the big man.
"It's okay, you have to complete the mission, I don't want to drink the northwest wind tonight." The big guy is also very bold.
It's not really dead anyway.
Glancing at Mantis 131, the two roared angrily, turned around and fired.
Dadada! Dadada!
With an assault rifle in one hand, the Mantis 131 and the big man rained bullets wildly at the Scarlet Devil who caught up.
Instead of standing, they slow down, fighting and retreating.
While others sped forward and tried to get rid of the guys first.
If you can't get rid of it, then the sacrifice of the big man and the mantis 131 is meaningless.
After running a short distance, there was a series of loud noises behind him.
The big man and the mantis 131 pulled the grenade.
Ling An and the others' faces didn't change much.
In the virtual space, they have been forced to make such sacrifices several times.
The big man and the mantis 131 fought for more than a minute.
Their final explosion apparently left most of the Crimson Demons in a state of limb damage.
Until they're fixed, there's probably no way to catch up.
The only trouble was that there were two scarlet demons that were not dragged and kept chasing Ling An.
Immediately, under the leadership of Ling An and Ye Zixu, everyone directly took advantage of the fact that they passed by a boulder and entered the blind spot of the scarlet demon's field of vision, and rushed forward to solve the two reptiles that were chasing after them in twenty seconds.
The score plus ten just makes up for the loss of the big man and the mantis 131.
"Hoo ......"
Ling An wiped his sweat.
There are still two kilometers from the target location, and it is not known how many enemies there are behind them.
"Let's move on." Ye Zixu said.
-------------------------------------
"Oh, this team is moving pretty fast......" In the real world, Instructor Xiang looked at the damage and distance of each team on the terminal.
All the fallen trainers have been disconnected from the virtual space connection, and they stand up with their heads touched, watching their comrades fight through their wristbands.
"Hmm...... It's 001 and 002 and their squad. Instructor Xiang touched his chin and looked at the people who seemed to be asleep, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That's not going to work, let's add some ingredients to you."
The big man and praying mantis 131, who had just woken up from the disconnection, happened to see Instructor Xiang's kind smile, and couldn't help but shudder.
-------------------------------------
In the virtual space, Ling An and the others were entangled again.
This is a simulated battlefield, and the destination of Ling An and the others is the area protected by the defense line.
The closer you get to this area, the more Crimson Demons you will encounter, but these Crimson Demons are cannon fodder.
But the number of dozens at every turn also made Ling An and the others dare not show up easily.
They patiently found a flank direction and cautiously sneaked in.
But they were found anyway.
Fortunately, there are not many Scarlet Demons in this direction, although there are also more than a dozen, but these are cannon fodder-type Scarlet Demons.
Ye Zixu led the others to open the way in front, and Ling An, as the target of the mission, slowly followed behind with Xiang Qingsong.
At this pace, they will soon be within reach the reach of the target location.
"It's less than three hundred meters away." Xiang Qingsong breathed a long sigh of relief.
"067, let's be careful." For some reason, Ling An felt a little uncomfortable.
Something seems to be warning you.
"It's okay, even if all the scarlet demons around here come over, we can reach this distance." Xiang Qingsong pursed his lips. "002, when did you become so timid?"
Ling An shook his head helplessly.
"It's not cowardice, it's ......"
Suddenly, his face changed, he pressed Xiang Qingsong, and the two of them hooked their bodies at the same time and threw themselves forward.
And where they were, a scythe-like thing whizzed by.
"! What the hell is this? Xiang Qingsong looked back and exclaimed.
