Chapter 7 I have objections
Once in a state of combat readiness, the order takes precedence over the prohibition of orders, does not discount, and does not accept questioning, which is the basic rule of the Shure team, or rather, the basic rule necessary for any mature shadow-chasing team.
The first article of the Shadow Chase Code states that you can speak freely during research and discussion, you can play freely during breaks, you must be professional enough to start your work, and you must be absolutely obedient to your combat readiness.
No matter who it is, they will be treated equally, and it is never allowed to violate this rule. Once someone violates it, it means that the trust between the teams is completely broken, and the team will fall apart, or at worst, it will be lost or even completely wiped out.
Shul rarely puts the team into combat readiness, and only gives this order when the problem is serious, so when he hears about the combat readiness, even if he doesn't understand the danger now, everyone goes into a state of high tension.
"Moria, you do your thing. ”
Lin Jing didn't say a word, and nodded in response.
"Very well, everybody, cover your body tightly, try to make sure that not a single centimeter of skin is directly exposed to the air, Miriday, especially you. ”
"Take care to calculate the time, do not interrupt the effect of the breath-holding elixir, and take extra care to prevent habitual breathing, remember, it is absolutely forbidden to breathe. ”
"Thirdly, check your bag and make sure you have the amount of breath-holding medicine you are carrying. ”
"Now that we are starting to prepare, we can raise questions about the specific implementation of the above three points, and pay attention to the doubts, not the doubts. ”
Although the situation was urgent, and he even had to enter a state of combat readiness, Shul did not immediately order a response.
The second rule of the Shadow Chase Code is that when encountering a crisis, it is far more important to use the brain first than to move the body first. Just like the current situation, although the environment is full of malice, and the enemy can find a weak point and launch a deadly attack at any time, but the more this is the case, the more cautious it must be, and it is necessary to waste a little time to confirm the direction of action, otherwise, a random collision without a clear purpose can only get the worst results.
Everyone is an experienced mercenary, even if they haven't participated in the shadow chasing, they have experienced a lot of dangers in ordinary missions, this truth is still very clear, so except for Saf, who is still lying on the ground and calculating, and Moria, who is looking around and doesn't know what they are doing, the rest of them immediately took action and began to deal with their own clothes, of course there are questions, but they have nothing to do with execution, they can be put aside, and no one will waste time asking questions now.
No, there are.
"It's okay to stop breathing, but what about talking?"
Indeed, it is impossible not to exchange gases when pronouncing the words, and the one who will ask this question is naturally the dwarf Mobuck, who does not forget to speak at any time.
"You're going to die if you don't speak?" Shure glared at him.
"I mean you. ”
"I'm physically resistant, and I will talk less often, so don't worry about me. ”
Wrapping his head in gauze, tightening the cuffs of his gloves and trouser legs, Shul kept his hands and mouth.
"Do what you have to do and keep doing it, I said, listen. ”
"Now the danger level has been raised to the maximum, and I will explain why. Knowing that everyone is just following orders, and may not really understand the danger at hand, Shul must take this opportunity to explain a little.
"Plants can be a terrible thing to do if they are aggressive, and that's what I learned from Moria. ”
"If it's just a normal physical attack or a magic attack, it's nothing to be afraid of. For example, in our Pavatiga world, there are several famous monster-type plants, the submersible flower uses strong acid to digest the prey, and the blood vine tree uses air roots to strangle the prey, in fact, the danger is not high, and it is easy to guard against. ”
"It's the plants that are really at risk. ”
"I've seen someone in the Merlin Forest who suddenly suffocated and collapsed shortly after walking through a mutated jasmine bush, and would have died if I hadn't been with me. The reason was that his lungs and throat were severely swollen for unknown reasons, which led to respiratory failure, while the rest of his companions had no problem at all. In the end, the cause can only be attributed to the effects of mutated jasmine on certain individuals. “
Wrapping herself quickly, Shul began to toss Saf lying on the ground, while the female swordsman kept staring at the scratch paper and instruments spread out on the ground, like a doll, obediently allowing Shul to put on her a gloved veil.
"Respiratory failure can be saved, but another encounter with heart palsy, there is no time to save it, from life to death, a minute. ”
"These are just examples, and there are many other ways in which plants can be affected. And I'm only talking about Pavatiga, the creatures in the otherworldly projection are strange, and the plants have self-awareness, there must be more means and more difficult to guard against. ”
"I know that these are just my speculations, and that you believe my speculations because you believe me, not the conclusion itself. But I need you to believe it completely, so, Miriday, you say, be brief. ”
Suddenly shifted the right to speak, so that the necromancer himself was stunned for a moment. However, in the end, it was a teammate who had cooperated many times, and Miridy was only puzzled for a moment before she understood Shuer's intentions.
"I see, your speculation is very credible, and it is indeed very abnormal here. The necromancer sighed and shook his head, "There is no life here except plants, not even bugs. ”
"From a life point of view, it's incredible, unless the environment is so harsh that organisms can't exist, there will always be bugs that can survive, and yet there is not a single one here. ”
"To put it simply, less time spent talking is less risk. Shul urged with a frown.
"In short, this is a dead place where only plants exist, and combined with Moria's words just now, it can be preliminarily concluded that all the creatures here have been killed by these plants. ”
"They...... There is indeed an effective way to kill us, and it is to kill in batches. Well, as far as I can imagine now, there are already six or seven ways to do it, and there should be more. ”
"That's it. Shul interrupted Miriday, "Hear it all? They can be extinct in batches, including us, so everyone pays the highest attention to it. ”
"Of course, until now, it's only a side verification, so, Moria. ”
"I can confirm it. Moria, who had been looking around and doing nothing, suddenly burst into a cloud of white light again.
This time, before the white light dissipated, Xiu'er pounced directly, and when his sight was restored, the half-human, half-deer forest spirit had become a complete human body, and the appearance and skin of the fair-skinned wood elves who shuttled through the forest all year round were almost identical, and there was still a cloak around Shu'er that Shuer had given her in time.
"Ah, I forgot again. Lin Jing tilted his head to show a confused expression, and put his two hands into the cloak and began to get busy, he should be wearing his bottoms, of course, he hadn't forgotten his business.
"I just tested it. Lin Jing said while busy, "Among the pollen floating in the air, the species with the highest concentration has been changing, and it has changed twenty-three times since it entered the state of alert."
"In addition to pollen, there are also spores, eleven spores. For the rest, there are six kinds of plant microscopic hairs, sixteen kinds of plant slurry droplets that are difficult to perceive, and there are some kinds of things that only exist in the smell, and I don't know what they are, and I don't know where they affect, thirty-four. ”
"So, they've had more than a hundred attack attempts in total, and we don't even feel it, let alone know when they'll succeed. ”
"Enough. Shuer waved his hand, "Hurry up and prepare, and don't talk much." ”
"Papapa", with applause to pull everyone back from the vigilant looking around, Shuer raised his voice, "There is no need to doubt it now, let's confirm the response." Although the situation is troublesome, it is only a trouble, not an unsolvable problem. ”
No matter how desperate they are, sitting and waiting for death is not the habit of this group of people, not to mention that it is far from the time of despair, and the shadow chasers have seen a lot of strange worlds and have long been accustomed to this kind of encounter.
"Saf, are the results out? ”
"Not yet, give me a few more minutes. ”
"It's slow, speed it up, and when it's done, say, don't check it anymore. ”
"Yes. Reproached in front of everyone, the female swordsman looked as if she had really made some mistake, her face was red like fire, her teeth were biting her lip, and her eyes were watery, but it seemed that they were not tears of grievance.
"I would like to take this opportunity to explain my actions in the future. In a moment I'll confirm the bearings, and everyone will move at high speed towards the target location. ”
"When moving, you should avoid direct contact between the skin and the outside world, especially where the skin is broken, does anyone have a new wound on the body? In addition to the wound, there are mucous membranes, so keep my mouth shut during the movement. ”
The person that Shul is staring at is naturally the dwarf Mobuck who will die if he doesn't speak.
"Got it. Mobuck smiled and nodded.
"The basic purpose of the operation is to keep the breath-holding agent covered throughout the whole process, and absolutely do not breathe. ”
The function of the breath-holding agent is to release the necessary gas nutrients in the body, replacing external breathing within 15 minutes, and is suitable for use underwater or highly toxic gases.
"In other words, breath-holding potions are important items, it determines how high a probability we are of being killed, and I can guarantee that if we don't use breath-holding potions, they will find a way to kill us in a maximum of ten minutes, and they should not be taken lightly. ”
"So I just asked everyone to confirm the number of their potions, I want to know ......" Xiu'er suddenly smiled bitterly, "How many breath-holding potions do you have, I'm worried that someone won't have enough." ”
No one answered, everyone's expressions were a little subtle, and it was clear that Shuer's worries were not superfluous.
After all, there are very few opportunities to use breath-holding elixirs, and the projection world has never had an environment where normal creatures can't survive, so bring breath-holding elixirs, but it's just to prevent poison gas and miasma when entering the otherworldly projection, and it's enough for normal people to bring three or four bottles. Otherworldly projections like the current one, which require a lot of breath-holding potions, are all too rare.
"Whether it's enough or not, report the quantity. Shul got serious again.
"There are only two left. "Me too. ”
The answer is almost the same, and after a long period of cooperation, habits will also affect each other, including the preparation of such general supplies.
"Sure enough. Shul sighed, "There is a serious shortage of them. ”
"I brought two boxes. The elven mage's cold voice rang out.
"Thirty?" Even a leader like Shuer, who needed to stay calm at all times, was taken aback, "Is this an alchemist's quirk?"
"It's just a coincidence. ”
"Okay. Xiu'er's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and his voice carried a hint of entanglement, "Everyone hand over the potions to me, and I will distribute them uniformly." ”
"This question...... Objections are allowed. After thinking about it, he finally made an addition.
Now Mia has a large number of breath-holding potions in her hand, and in the current environment, she can almost ensure safety, and Shuer's order is equivalent to letting Mia use a higher fault tolerance rate and a greater chance of survival in exchange for everyone's safety and the harvest of this shadow-chasing effect, which is a very unfair order, once it is not handled well, trust will inevitably crack.
The experience of his hometown has amply demonstrated the dire consequences of a rift in trust, and Shul is not like facing it again, so he wants to avoid it as much as he can.
However......
"Oh, allowed? Mia's indifference and alienation became more obvious, and she said with a sneer, "I know, you want to distribute the potions evenly and ensure everyone's safety, but, have you asked me?"
