Volume 3 The Mercenary Years Chapter Seventy-Eight Small Beast Tide

The appearance of multiple small beast tides often indicates that alien creatures are about to start attacking the Tyre Shield. Of course, they don't have to attack, and sometimes, they wander around the buffer zone for a few days, and they will inexplicably retreat back to the living corridor.

For more than 100 years, the attacks of alien creatures on the Thiel defense shield have ended in failure, and every time alien creatures attack, they will leave a large number of beast corpses, but even so, alien creatures are still very persistent in disturbing humans on a regular basis.

Such strange and cruel behavior has puzzled mankind.

A human leader once suggested that the beast tide of alien creatures may be because the alien planet cannot support so many beast soldiers, so they rely on human power to regularly eliminate the beast soldiers.

However, this argument was met with great opposition later, because historical sources proved that Hera could order the orcs to kill each other, and there was no need for them to reduce internal pressure in such a troublesome way.

No one has ever been to an alien planet, and no one knows what the world on the other side of the "door" is like. The so-called internal pressure is just the conjecture of human beings themselves.

No matter what the purpose of the alien creatures is, from the moment they invade the earth and commit a blood debt, humanity will not let go of any alien creatures that will come and attack.

Come, and destroy it. If you don't come, you have to find an opportunity to wipe out the alien creatures.

For humanity, it's no longer just a struggle for survival. Even if the alien creatures return to the alien planet now, humans will not let the alien creatures go easily.

After the defensive position was set up, there was no trace of the beast tide in Ling Hai's sight. Every soldier and general present was ready at his post.

Unmanned reconnaissance planes constantly fed back information such as the movement and scale of the small beast tide to the command headquarters, and the army was like a ready war machine, waiting for the arrival of the beast tide.

Half a day has passed, and the large-scale beast tide has not arrived, and it seems that this time it is another confusing wandering of alien creatures. However, the military's first-level security has not been lifted, and Ling Hai and they still have to stand by in the L-shaped defensive cover, and they cannot go out to carry out mercenary tasks.

Time passed, and the alien creatures still did not come to attack the defensive shield, but the small beast tides still roamed in the buffer zone. The military has gradually withdrawn some expendable armaments, but the order for Tier 1 security still hangs over the crowd.

Seeing that the time limit of the task was getting smaller and smaller, and the cost of armament that had been consumed before had not been completely earned, the members of the fifth class began to feel a little anxious.

"Are these small beast tides enmity with us? After so many days, we are running out of time to complete our tasks! Li Dana said irritably.

After Zhou Quan calculated the time, he said, "Squad leader, we have to be prepared to complete the task this time." Now there are less than 6 days left before the end of the mission time, and I suggest that after the security is lifted, give up the mercenary mission and go to earn money and make up for the losses. ”

If a mercenary fails to complete the Consortium's mission, he will be deducted double mission points for the first time. For example, if the task of Class 5 is 8 GPAs, then if they fail the task, they will be deducted 16 GPAs. If you fail twice in a row, you will be deducted 3 times the mission GPA and the difficulty of the next mission will be reduced. If you continue to fail in this way, you will be deducted 5 times your GPA. If the mercenaries keep failing, they have to work for the consortium for free for the rest of their lives.

It is the first time that Class 5 is facing the crisis of mission failure, so even if you are really deducted grade points in the end, everyone can accept it. But if you don't complete the task and don't earn back the cost, it will make the members feel painful.

Shi Jianjun looked at the others: "What do you think?" ”

"I agree with Zhou Quan's suggestion, even if the beast tide disperses now, we may not have time to complete the collection task after we rush to the Soul Corridor." Hou Ziqi said.

"I agree." Others also said the same.

"Okay, then let's settle it first." Shi Jianjun made a decision.

In this case, there is no way to do it if it is as strong as Ling Hai. Now that the beast tide is raging outside, Ling Hai has no chance to go out hunting to earn, after all, the military order is like a mountain. Fortunately, because Ling Hai had rented relatively few weapons and equipment before, the gains in the first two days were enough to offset the cost of his mission.

He is not under much pressure, and he has been trying his best to polish his body in the camp these days.

During this period of time, Ling Hai's progress was so fast that he sometimes couldn't control his own power. Uncontrollable power, for a warrior who wanders on the blade, the impact is very large, and the slightest carelessness may produce irreversible results.

Since 3,000 kilograms of fist power can defeat the enemy, why does Ling Hai use 7,000 kilograms of fist power every time? On the front line, every time you have any physical strength left, you have an extra chance of life. Not to mention, this time the military's first-level security inadvertently helped Ling Hai. Ling Hai's originally impetuous heart gradually fell silent in the past few days of physical training.

The fifth shift was really unlucky this time, and it was not until the afternoon of the last day of the mission that the first-level security on the front line was lifted. As a result, the members were deducted more than 16 grade points, and they also lost tens of thousands of alliance coins in the cost of the task.

After going back, everyone reflected, in fact, because they were inexperienced. If they had judged early that the first level of security would not be over in a short period of time, they could choose to retreat into the defensive shield and go to other outlands to carry out mercenary missions, instead of staying and waiting in the outlands of Tsu City.

You must know that on the third day of the garrison, the military saw that the beast tide had no tendency to attack the defensive cover, so they had canceled the compulsory conscription of Ling Hai and them. It's just that the members of Class 5 thought that if they waited any longer, the beast herd would retreat, but what they didn't expect was that they would wait until the end.

Mercenary is not a stable job in the first place, as long as there is no death, it is actually within the acceptable range. So everyone mentally slandered and accepted this fact.

After returning, Ling Hai and the others visited the two injured members. The two who have undergone emergency surgery are not in danger of life at present, but because the injured bone is a bone, it will take several months to fully recover. In other words, in the next few months, the number of people on the fifth shift will be less than two.

After resting for two days, Ling Hai and the others took the same task as last time and went to the outer region of Jin City. Although there has only been a surge of beasts in the outer regions of Jin City, after all, the members of Class 5 are more familiar with the situation here, so they can spend a lot less time exploring. If you go somewhere else, you have to start from scratch, which is not conducive to the execution of the mission. As for the outer regions of Guang Province, Ling Hai is familiar to them, but it is too far away from Kyoto, and it will take a lot of time.

Therefore, in the end, everyone unanimously decided to continue the mission in the outer area of Tianjin City.

The other members still rented the same weapons and equipment as before, only Ling Hai alone became more and more economical, and this time he rented only two grenades and a knife for the offensive weapons.

As a group, renting weapons can't actually be completely according to their own ideas, otherwise everyone will not rent the necessary weapons in order to save costs, so how can they complete the task in the outer land.

However, after all, Ling Hai had saved the lives of other teammates by himself, so seeing that Ling Hai only rented such a small thing, the members didn't say much.

Besides, Ling Hai, who had been reshaped for the second time, had the confidence to fight in close combat with the beasts, they didn't have this ability.

In the outer region of Jinshi, which has experienced the turmoil of the beast tide, the distribution of beast soldiers has become more dense than before, but with Ling Hai taking the initiative to act as a scout, the 10 people of the fifth class still arrived at the living corridor relatively easily.

As soon as the perception domain within a radius of 100 meters in Linghai is kept open at any time, and then the ability to command is activated, the beast soldiers in front of the team can only obediently wait for death, how can this open-hanging way of marching not be easy?

After passing through the beast corpses all over the place and converging with Ling Hai, the members saw Ling Hai unharmed, and their admiration and recognition for Ling Hai deepened. The members of Class 5 gradually adapted to and enjoyed Ling Hai's care, but they completely forgot that Ling Hai was just an 18-year-old boy.

Because of the importance of carrying out the task, the members did not collect the beast corpses on the road, but only buried and covered the beast corpses a little, and then continued to follow Ling Hai's trails.

None of the previous missions involved the Soul Corridor, so it was the first time for Ling Hai to enter the Soul Corridor. After stepping into the Soul Corridor, Ling Hai was shocked by the scene in front of him!

Exuberant! Life! Colorful! Magnificent!

Ling Hai suddenly felt that he had come to another world, not on the Earth Star.

The overall appearance of the Living Corridor is a dense forest, but it is very different inside.

All kinds of plants that Ling Hai had never seen before grew on the trees and on the ground, reflecting the forest in purple and red. All kinds of small animals hide in the bushes of plants, making one chirp after another.

There are two of the most striking things in the forest, one of which is the half-human-tall [Blue Lantern Grass] that grows like a reed. Blue Lantern Grass is the most common plant in the Corridor of Creatures, and it is also the ration of many beast soldiers.

The reason why the blue light grass is striking is also its number, so to speak, the blue light grass grows almost everywhere in the living corridor except for the ground where it walks. Ling Hai and the others seemed to be swimming in a blue ocean at the moment.

The blue light grass looks similar to a reed, except that the top of its stem does not bloom and diverge like a reed, but instead looks like a thickened, straight up LED tube. The blue light grass does not shine during the day, and only when there is no sunlight at night, the tube-like part of the blue light grass will emit a brilliant blue light to illuminate the surroundings. Hence the name Blue Lantern Grass.

Ling Hai and the others had the task of collecting 600 Blue Lantern Grass this time, but the number of Blue Lantern Grass in the Soul Corridor was so large that it was not worth anything at all, so everyone was not in a hurry to collect it, but mainly to find the alienated Lingzhi first.

Another thing that caught Ling Hai's attention in the corridor was a strange plant that grew on trees.

Ling Hai didn't know what its name was, anyway, this plant looked a bit like a mulberry, densely packed on the bark one by one, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all colors, quite magical, like putting a layer of color on the trunk of a big tree.

"It's beautiful, it's shocking, we were just like you when we first came in before, and we couldn't believe that alien creatures had transformed the former barren battlefield into what it is now." Li Dana walked to Ling Hai's side and said lightly.

"O paradise of life! Those brutal alien creatures are willing to go to great lengths to transform such a magnificent environment. After Ling Hai came back to his senses, he sighed with emotion: "No wonder human beings are reluctant to destroy the corridor of living beings. ”

"That's because now the two sides are in a period of détente. No matter how unfortunate it is, the beast soldiers want to dominate the world, and the humans don't want to continue to shrink, which is destined to have a big battle between the two sides in the future. The current calm is just that both sides are accumulating strength. Zhou Quan next to him said calmly.

"Okay, it's not appropriate to talk in the corridor, let's stay vigilant and find the alienated Lingzhi first." Shi Jianjun lowered his voice and said to everyone.

Hearing this, Ling Hai and the others began to keep silent, lowering their bodies and searching for the alienated Lingzhi along the planned route in the forest.

"Chirp! Tweeted! ”

After walking for a while, the sound of small animals suddenly reached Ling Hai's ears. Shi Jianjun, the squad leader, made a gesture and asked everyone to stop and not move.

The sound of "chirping" got closer and closer, and after a while, Ling Hai, who was squatting on the ground, saw a group of very cute alien beasts lining up and passing in front of them.
