Chapter 63: Surprise Attack and Beheading
Al was no longer crying, but silently weeping, she gently removed the cross she had been wearing, placed it on Lu Ren's chest, and then left a light kiss on the young man's forehead that he could not have imagined before his death.
The people around were immersed in gloom at this time, not only a little girl like Ling, but even an old man like Eric, who was accustomed to seeing the wind and sand, sat on the ground and cried like a child, after all, he and Lu Ren had been fighting side by side in the Dawn Team for a long time, and now they were suddenly separated by life and death, who could stand it.
At this moment, Arnold suddenly noticed that Luo Wei had put away the magnetic rail sniper rifle, and was looking around on the edge of the cliff, as if looking for something, and he asked, "Luo Wei, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm going to find the worm mother." As soon as Luo Wei's words came out, he directly dragged everyone out of the sad atmosphere, and Arnold was even more panicked: "Brother, don't be kidding, killing the insect mother is an optional task given by the cube, and it doesn't have to be completed, let alone the difficulty is still A-level, you can't be impulsive!" ”
"How long do you think we'll be able to hold out without ending this stubborn mission early?" Luo Wei threw out a fatal question that left everyone in deep thought.
The reason why they were able to hold on to this place before was due to Lu Ren's fire support, otherwise Eric and the Ghost Hand alone would not be able to stalemate with the swarm, not to mention that Eric's turret was still in trouble at this time and needed to be repaired and expanded.
Now, only an hour has passed since the six-hour holding mission, but Lu Ren has already died, and it is completely foolish to fight against the sea of insects without the support of this fireman.
Although Lu Ren's individual Gatling is still there, Arnold can barely use it, but he doesn't understand the theoretical knowledge of fire support, and can only strafe at once, which is obviously half the effort, so, according to the development of this situation, they have no way to complete the entrenchment task, and there is only one way to go back alive, that is, to complete the cube's optional A-level mission, kill the insect mother, and end the entire mission early!
Arnold glanced worriedly at the advancing front of the swarm, and realized that the ghost hand of the crisis had already shown his hole cards at this time, and opened the berserker transformation, his face became extremely hideous, and his combat power increased exponentially.
But this is just an illusion, because Arnold, who is also of B-level blood, knows very well that the transformation has a time limit, even if the duration is different according to the strength of the individual, but the B-level bloodline cannot last for five hours of transformation, once the time for the transformation of the ghost hand is up, the swarm will push back, which means that the group will be wiped out!
Arnold was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where the worm mother is?" ”
Luo Wei pointed to a huge hole in the distance where a swarm of insects kept pouring out: "It should be a worm nest over there, and it is not clear where the mother worm is, but there is always a way to find it." ”
"Then even if you find it, what are you going to do? The mother insect with a difficulty level of A is unimaginably powerful, how do you want to kill it? ”
"Leave that alone, that's something I'm going to think about." Luo Wei looked at the acupuncture path in the distance, pointed to the sand under his feet, and said in a low voice, "Either stick to this place, or kill the insect mother, anyway, these two paths, the first path will definitely die, so no matter how ridiculous the second path is, you have to give it a try." ”
"Okay," Arnold nodded firmly, "I won't stop you, we'll buy you the most time." ”
"Yes."
"Luo Wei!" Ling suddenly stopped Luo Wei, ran to him, reached out and took off the Holy Shield Ring on his green jade fingers, and said, "This is for you, you must be careful!" ”
Just as Ling handed over the ring, Luo Wei pushed it back, he glanced at the artillery unit at the end of the horizon and said, "The shelling continues, it's dangerous here, I have promised Lu Ren to bring El back, I don't want to break my promise, you help me protect her." ”
Ling was stunned for a long time, put the ring back on his hand, and said seriously: "Got it!" ”
After Luo Wei finished speaking, he ran directly to the edge of the cliff, squinting to observe the surrounding situation, and suddenly, he jumped from the cliff to the path full of worms below.
Everyone ran over in astonishment to take a look, only to see that Luo Wei had landed in a relatively weak position in the sea of insects, but there were still insects all around, and these insects were startled by this guest from the sky, but instinctively launched an attack.
Luo Wei didn't fight at all, and directly blasted out a straight road with the desert eagle in his hand, and then rushed to the end of the trail and jumped to the lower level of the trail, and then repeated the old trick, just like this, layer by layer, when he jumped to the bottom of the earth, the whole person was already so small that there was no trace, and everyone could only see a large wave of blood splashed in the dense insect swarm from time to time, mixed with the loess blowing sand in the sky.
"Don't look at it! Big! Eric punched Arnold's thick arm, wiped the tears and snot from his beard, and cheered up from the grief of his comrade's loss, and exclaimed, "Come and help me straighten the core of the tower, we need to hold on as much as we can, and buy that lad more time!" ”
...
Luo Wei was running on the land full of yellow sand, he glanced at the artillery unit at the end of the horizon, and now there was actually another choice, which was to annihilate the artillery unit of unknown origin first, relieve the pressure on his comrades in the eastern highlands, and avenge Lu Ren, but this idea was quickly ruled out by him.
Luo Wei does not know the details of the enemy's artillery unit for the time being, judging from the firepower, it should be the strength of a battalion, but I don't know if they carry other light and heavy weapons in addition to artillery, let alone whether there are evolutionaries accompanying them.
What's more, every second counts now, and the sooner you click on the insecticidal mother, you can end the task earlier, which is the key.
Therefore, Luo Wei rushed non-stop to the burrow where the insects kept pouring out, and now most of the insects were besieging the eastern highlands, and he didn't see too many insects after breaking out of the encirclement, and the group that followed was also blocked and eliminated by him in the middle.
Before rushing to the ** road, Luo Wei put on the night vision goggles he bought from Donald, and it was too much of a loss to fight underground without this thing.
After entering the ** road, it is directly a large slope sliding tunnel, Luo Wei arrived at the ground and vigilantly observed the surroundings, the surface of the rock layer here is dark and smooth, and there is a touch of jade to the touch, which should have been carefully polished by sapper insects, and it is very cool here, without the scorching heat of the day, which is very suitable for crypt creatures to live.
At this time, the insects poured out of the nest, there were basically no insects here, even if there were one or two occasionally, they were all killed by Luo Wei with his fist, here he didn't dare to use a gun, one was afraid of hitting the grass and startling the snake, and the other was worried that if he shot the load-bearing column, he would be buried alive, and he didn't have the forelimbs that could dig the ground.
