In the underground monitoring room, there was a deathly silence.

Whether it was a researcher from a company or a consortium, their eyes widened in astonishment.

Except for Hea.

As the only researcher on the "research project", she is probably the only person here who knows the inside story.

I saw that white face was full of tide. Red, a pair of eyes flashing with excitement.

As if she was gazing at an incredible scientific miracle, she stared intently at the screen, her eyes full of fanaticism, and her mouth couldn't stop whispering.

"Is this the power of 60% of the unlocking degree of the gene sequence? It's a ...... feeling It's even more exaggerated than the theoretical analysis value in the test! ”

Nope-

Should I say that this is still a carbon-based creature?!

With the frame rate of security monitoring, it is impossible to capture the trajectory of that punch!

Her heart was pounding, and her breathing was rapid.

At this moment, Heya suddenly came back to her senses and muttered to herself.

“…… Wait, that unrecognizable 'talent'...... Does it have something to do with this?! ”

Is it a power boost?

Or is it not just power that is strengthened......

Just as the researchers were in amazement, the monster in the biological power armor suddenly burst out in exclamation and attacked again.

He seemed enraged, and the entire hallway reverberated with that furious roar.

Those dark green eyes burned with madness, and the muscles that were comparable to the power of the evolved body exploded in an instant, and the huge body shot out like a cannonball again.

The terrifying explosiveness seems to be stronger than before, and the speed is faster than before!

And yet—

The result this time was no different from the last time, and the Beastmaster, who received a punch with his face, didn't even have time to let out a howl of pain and fell to the ground.

"Don't you have any other tricks?"

Looking at the Beastmaster trapped in a pile of concrete wreckage, Chu Guang gradually felt a little bored, so he reached out and picked up the hammer standing on the ground, and watched him walk over.

Hearing the sound of steady footsteps, the Beastmaster struggled to get up from the broken stones, wiped the slime flowing from the corners of his mouth, and stared at Chu Guang who was walking towards him.

"You guy...... What kind of monster the hell! ”

There was a tremor in his voice, and his sharp claws were shaking uncontrollably.

Not because of fear.

It was purely because of the three punches that his endocrine was out of balance.

"I'm not a monster, I'm who I am." Chu Guang said in a calm tone.

"Impossible!" The Beastmaster interrupted Chu Guang's words with a roar, his dark green pupils staring at him, "This is definitely not human power...... Even if you modify his power armor, your body will definitely not be able to withstand that speed and power! ”

"Transformation?" Chu Guang smiled faintly, "There's no need for that at all." ”

He knew the guy was playing his word for it.

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out what was going on with him.

According to Hea's early conclusion, the "fruits" of his players' exploration of the genetic sequence will eventually accumulate in some form or another.

In a sense, his existence itself is a "singularity" outside the horizon, and with the existing theories, it can only be glimpsed at the surface, and it cannot reach the root at all.

It's like the "Formation Field" that connects the players.

Including the "gestalt lifeforms" that the torch could not ask for......

The Beastmaster's pupils flickered in disbelief, obviously not believing Chu Guang's words.

However, Chu Guang didn't intend to explain to him, he just picked up the boxy hammer-

And the nitrogen that condensed on the surface of the hammer and was almost compressed into a solid body!

"Go to hell."

He spoke calmly, announcing the death sentence of this demon.

"You belong there."

The bursting air gushed out in an instant, raging like a sharp blade, tearing open the windows and even slicing through the surrounding walls!

There are no bells and whistles, and there is no need for anything like that.

Chu Guang, who rounded the war hammer, slammed the hammer into the beast king who was half-squatting on the ground.

Facing the hammer that was as fast as the wind, the Beastmaster subconsciously raised his arm to block.

However, the bio-powered armor he was proud of was as fragile as papier-mâché, torn apart in an instant.

The pain was so intense that he couldn't help but let out a howl, but the raging wind gagged his mouth, expanding his cheeks into balloons.

And then -

The hammer that disintegrated his arms slammed into his Celestial Cover, pressing his head into his shoulders and crushing him into a pulp along with half of his body.

The raging currents of air kicked up billowing dust.

When the dust settled, the entire corridor was sprinkled with scarlet droplets, as if it had rained blood.

And in the center of the storm, only Chu Guang with a hammer was left, and a puddle of flattened meat mud.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, and Lu Bei rushed from the basement with a group of soldiers from the Guards Regiment in a hurry.

From the moment he found out that the manager was not around, he rushed over with someone.

However, what he didn't expect was such an exaggerated scene......

Not only Lu Bei, but also the guards standing behind him were all stunned.

This......

Is it their manager?

The one who is humble, broad-minded, and almost never loses his temper...... Managers?!

Even if they have some understanding of the power of managers, they have never thought of exaggerating to such an extent.

A pair of eyes were full of reverence.

While the reason for their loyalty to the Administrator is not because of his strength, it is also an objective fact that in a wasteland where the law of the jungle is universally followed, great power is inherently able to gain the respect of the Wastelander.

Underground monitoring room.

The researchers were equally stunned and unable to utter a word.

After a long time, an old professor from Yunjian University swallowed his saliva, poked his index finger at the researcher of the alliance next to him, and asked in a trembling voice.

"This ...... Are you really the manager? ”

What he wanted to ask was "Is that guy still human?"

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was too offensive to ask such a question, so I temporarily changed my words.

The researchers of the alliance also looked confused, but they still nodded subconsciously.

"Of course...... If it is fake, it will be replaced. ”

A female researcher from Cloud University had a frenzy in her eyes and grabbed her collaborator from Camp 101 next to her.

"What kind of technology is this? I didn't mean to investigate, I just wanted to find out what was going on...... Can you lend me some samples—"

Without waiting for the collaborator to answer, Hea, like a cat guarding food, interrupted the fellow's whimsical speech without hesitation.

"Don't even think about it!"

At the same time, outside the research institute, the players and NPCs in the open space were also looking at the broken wall and the corridor where Chu Guang was standing.

They noticed movement on the other side of the institute as the winged creature slammed into the wall and heard the sound like the roar of cannonball.

Realizing that the administrator of the alliance was there, General Babita's face was mixed, but in the end he was still more happy, and he couldn't help but add fuel to the monster in his heart.

On the other side, the non-commissioned officer of the "Hound Dog" special forces looked at the soldiers of the Storm Corps on the side and couldn't help but ask.

"Where are your managers...... Aren't you going to help him? ”

Hearing the voice of the NPC, the Tomb Ghost Hunter gave him a strange look, wondering if this was just a cutscene, what was there to make a fuss about.

With the manager's level and attribute panel, even that thing wants to hurt him, and it is too underestimated to underestimate the power of "technology".

Waving his hand, the grave ghost hunted and said with a smile.

"There's no need for that, when we get over, I'm afraid he'll tear that thing apart."

Hound Special Forces Non-Commissioned Officer: "......? ”

Although the description is exaggerated enough, the grave ghost hunt still underestimates the respected Mr. Administrator.

Strictly speaking, let alone dismantling into parts.

Just that "mosaic", I'm afraid that I can't even find a complete part.

Looking down at the thick blood stains all over his body, Chu Guang was silent for a moment and then muttered.

"It seems like I've pushed too hard."

You should keep your head shut.

And it was covered in blood......

But it doesn't really matter.

X-16 would wash him up anyway.

Shaking off the minced flesh and plasma stuck to the hammer, Chu Guang stepped over the corpse of the Beastmaster, ascended the stairs to the third floor of the research institute, and stood in front of the collapsed wall gap.

The moment they saw that figure appear in the gap in the wall, almost everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Except for the residents of Vault 404.

Players who have fought alongside him more than once are well aware of his strength.

And that's not all.

He's like a flag.

No matter what kind of opponent they face, as long as they stand beside him, their hearts will burst with indomitable courage and determination to win.

That's why.

The moment they saw him appear on the battlefield, almost all players let out a shout of excitement -

"The managers are awesome!"

"Long live the Alliance!"

"Whoa!"

Basking in the exhilarating cheers, the Hound Special Forces soldiers looked around in dismay, and then followed the men's gaze in the direction of the Institute.

They couldn't understand what the Vault dwellers were cheering, but they could feel the frenzy that permeated the cheers.

The man they saw as their leader led them from victory to victory, and they had no doubt that their future and future were bright.

Many of the soldiers from the Free State had envious expressions in their eyes.

Fighting to pay off their debts as soon as possible, they don't understand what kind of faith it is, but that doesn't prevent them from casting envious glances at those who shine.

If only they could have such a manager who cares about them.

Everyone couldn't help but think so in their hearts.

This seems to be a little easier to achieve than the ideal city ideal.

Unfortunately, with this in mind, they are always left to choose between a very bad option and a worse option, and most of the time they don't even have a chance to choose.

And not just the Hound special forces soldiers.

Even the soldiers from the Falcon Kingdom looked up at the man.

Even though they had been beaten by this guy and their noses were swollen, they found that they didn't hate this guy at all......

A general who stands in the shoes of at least one soldier and can advance and retreat with them is better than the cowards who hide in castles and airships.

Looking at Chu Guang, who was intact, General Babita's face was filled with a hint of loss, and he sighed in his heart.

It's a pity.

God bless my empire......

This is a long night, and I don't know when it will end.

Glancing around at everyone on the battlefield, Chu Guang dropped the war hammer in his hand heavily to the ground.

"Guys—"

He turned on the speakers of his helmet and raised his voice to let out that deafening cry.

"Our enemies are also the end of the strong crossbow, and the madness of lust and inwardness cannot hide their weakness!"

"Their 'Beastmaster' has died under my hammer!"

"If they still want to come and die! Then let's make them perfect! ”

The voice was like a sharp sword, tearing through the curtain of the night and the noise of gunfire and artillery fire.

Whether it was the people who were watching him.

Or those soldiers who are fighting, have burst out with unprecedented morale.

He was responded to by a deafening shout.

"Kill!!"

……

The deafening cry was like a shot in the arm that pierced the heart of every warrior.

In the face of the high-morale coalition forces, the monsters entangled outside the institute were finally defeated after a desperate struggle.

At the same time, the fighting in other parts of the military base is coming to an end.

Under Xiao Yu's control, the mighty army of gnawers and creepers successfully took over the east and west wings of the military base, blocking the dead that kept crawling out of the soil.

The Kingdom of Heaven over the Weifu military base has collapsed, and it is only a matter of time before the puppets awakened by the Kingdom of Heaven are sent away.

On the other side, the armored formation of the Skeleton Corps also reached the north of the military base.

While cleaning up the "living dead", they also cleaned up the batwingmen who attacked the northern defense line and those wearing bio-powered armor.

As Chu Guang said in the mobilization cry, the power of the torch in this generation is already at the end of the crossbow.

They're out of cards!

At the same time, the airship Loyalty.

General Lium, who was sitting on the bridge, finally waited for the battle report from the front.

After reading the report carefully, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the adjutant standing on the side and said energetically.

"The position of Blood Mountain has been taken, and the crisis of the Weifu military base has been lifted, and we have won this war!"

The adjutant also had a relieved expression on his face, and said with palpitations.

"I didn't expect these guys to have such a terrible weapon in their hands......"

Perhaps they should follow the example of the Academy's Task Force Alpha and give the clone troops a full set of gas masks.

Although it doesn't work against the weird biochemical weapons of the alpha protozoa, it can at least resist the corrosion of Nago mycelium.

The performance of the Glorious Army in this battle can be said to have disgraced the face of their legion.

General Lium nodded, squinting slightly to the west outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

He had reported the situation to Triumph, and reinforcements would arrive shortly.

The Ten Peaks Mountain was just a checkpoint for them to pass through to the Haiya Province.

The war between the coalition and the torch has only just begun.

And after that, there are businesses, colleges, and the Great Rift Valley...... Or even a game of alliances.

For the Legion, that's the main thing.

……

The flames of war seemed to rise in an instant, and seemed to come to an end in an instant.

When the last batwing man was slitted with a combat knife by the player who had emptied the magazine, the gray sky was covered with a hint of fish's belly.

Before you know it, the soldiers in this military base have been fighting all night!

While Xiao Yu's fruiting body is still fighting with the puppets of Nago Mycelium for control of the land, the latter is no longer a threat.

As the creatures in the bio-powered armor die one after another, both the batwingers and the "living dead" are reduced to soulless empty shells, mere walking corpses driven by instinct.

These unorganized guys are obviously no match for the fruiting body army led by Xiao Yu.

It was only a matter of time before the corrosion on this Weifu wasteland was completely removed......

The news of the victory soon spread throughout the army.

Knowing that the enemy had been defeated, the tense nerves of the soldiers finally relaxed.

Many people simply sat on the ground, or stared at the corpses all over the ground in a daze.

The strong smell of blood filled the nasal cavities, and the entire military base was completely turned into a sea of blood.

The intensity of this battle is beyond the imagination of most people.

After all, the population of most of the settlements in the wasteland combined is not even as large as the pit where the corpses are buried here.

However, those Willant people were quite calm, and even took their lunch boxes to the door of the cafeteria and lined up.

Maybe it's just a small scene on the west side of the continent......

Except for the Wilantes, the most calm in the entire coalition is naturally the player.

In order not to let the accumulated fatigue points affect the game during the "day", some people have already run back to the hibernation pod to lie down and rest.

There are also some guys who didn't grab the save point, and they didn't waste time, and after a simple meal, they helped the NPCs clean up the battlefield.

To the east of the military base.

The Southern Construction Corps painted a piece of land on the wasteland for the purpose of stacking corpses.

They dragged the corpses out of the military base by truck and dumped them here, waiting for the creepers who hatched in Xiao Yu to transport them away.

Looking at the pile of dead people, the mosquito couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom...... This time, the empire is afraid that it will have to pay to grandma's family. ”

He didn't need to ask him to guess that in addition to those clone cannon fodder, the most killed in this battle was probably the rat people of the Xilan Empire Expeditionary Force.

Those guys are really miserable.

They just wanted to eat a few full meals, and they didn't make any big mistakes, at most they just thought about it in their heads, but they had to be tossed around by the superiors, not only did they live unpleasantly, but they also died disgracefully.

Standing next to him, the construction site boy and the brick slanted at him.

“…… How do I feel that it is not the empire that loses the most. ”

The mosquito was stunned.

“…… What does it mean? ”

The debt big eye reminded him.

"Aren't you still waiting to receive their food?"

His brow twitched, and the mosquito coughed dryly.

"I'm just saying that the plan is going to take ...... Didn't they plant it, so they won't accept it. ”

Although he said this, thinking that he couldn't pick up the money for nothing, his face was still a little pity, and he couldn't help smacking his lips in pain.

Not earning is also a loss.

He had to figure out how to get the hole back......

……

On the other side, at the Weifu military base, tents with medical signs were erected in the open space in front of the temporary research institute.

Half an hour ago, the company's medical team departed from the airport in Dawning City, and at this moment arrived at the front line of the Weifu military base, where nurses and doctors from Ideal City were bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

In fact, before it was converted into a temporary research institute, the concrete building itself was used as a preparatory medical facility, but it was later converted into a research facility due to the small number of wounded.

The open space in front of the building is also reserved for the "more wounded than expected".

It's just that no one from the Southern Construction Corps or the coalition forces would have a chance to come in handy.

And it was before the coalition forces entered Haiya Province.

After all, judging from the first two battles, the strength shown by the Torch Church was not very strong, and their positions fell with a slight push......

Just as Chu Guang was comforting the wounded, Li Jinrong, the commander of the Southern Construction Corps, limped over to this side.

He had bandages on his arm, as if he had been wounded by a gunshot wound, presumably by a clone from the Glorious Army.

Although the Ripper Rifle is not very technical, the damage of full-power bullets is not a joke.

Luckily, however, the bullet passed through his arm, neither injuring bones nor arteries, nor remaining in his body.

It is precisely because of this that this small injury did not affect his work at all, and he didn't even go to a doctor, he took a bandage and bandaged it himself.

"Except for the refusal of the Legion to cooperate with the investigation of the casualties of the Honorable Army, the casualties of the various units of the coalition army have basically been counted. At present, the heaviest losses are the expeditionary force of the Xilan Empire, and many of them were poisoned when the fog first rose......"

Chu Guang asked with a frown.

"How many of them died in total."

Li Jinrong swallowed his saliva and continued.

"Count the missing...... That's 14,700 people combined. ”

If it weren't for Xiao Yu who rescued some, I'm afraid this number would be even more exaggerated.

Even though he had expected that the casualties of the Xilan Empire Expeditionary Force would be outrageous, Chu Guang, who heard this number, couldn't help but hold his breath.

Nearly 15,000 people......

The total number of soldiers who managed to reach Geumcheon Province was only 20,000, and this attrition was close to three-quarters!

Looking at Chu Guang, whose face was heavy, Li Jinrong hesitated for a moment and continued.

"The commander of the Xilan Expeditionary Force hopes that the coalition forces will give some compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers...... They are the pillars of 14,700 families who have come here for the common destiny of all mankind, and their families should receive not only ashes and honor, but also support from others who have survived for it. ”

Hearing this high-sounding words, the corners of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help twitching.

The pillars of 14,700 families are okay......

I'm afraid it's a farm animal.

Just because he hadn't been to Borneo didn't mean he didn't know what was going on there.

He was sure that even if he helped them ask for a compensation from the academy or the company, or even if he paid the money out of his own pocket, the money would definitely not go to the families of those people, and most of the time it would end up in the pockets of some nobles.

Or simply into that Babita's own pocket.

But at this time, he thought of a friend who died young.

In a sense, I am already in a similar position at this moment.

He could leave those guys alone, and no one would think anything was wrong with what he was doing. Even General Babita, who made the request, would have blushed when he looked back.

After all, those rat people didn't come in handy at all, but in the end, they ended up trapping a wave of friendly troops, and even the legion closest to them hated them and got in the way.

But if they don't plant the seeds in their pockets, no matter how many seeds they save, the wasteland will always be a wasteland, even if they win the war in the end.

After pondering for a long time, Chu Guang spoke.

"Tell Babita that the coalition is a military institution, not a parenting institution, but the Coalition acknowledges the sacrifices of those people."

"If he really wants to do something for the 14,700 dead soldiers, he will carefully count their names, homes, and addresses."

"We will appropriately compensate the families of all fallen soldiers and the collectives to which they belong, in a manner approved by public resolution."

Li Jinrong nodded seriously.

"Got it!"
