Chapter 235: The Disappeared Guest
[You're dead]
[You successfully destroyed two fortresses and received a "C" rating]
【Please keep up the good work】
【……】
[You kill an enemy officer, and you get an additional "C" rating]
[You kill 8 enemy soldiers and get an additional "C" rating]
【Please keep up the good work】
Do you want to continue the simulation?] 】
[You can choose to re-simulate this stage of the campaign, or you can continue to the next stage of the campaign]
【……】
According to the system requirements, as long as you destroy two fortresses, you can experience the follow-up plot, but Su Xia is not satisfied, he needs the highest "S" rating.
[Re-simulation]
Su Xia clicked on the previous option, his eyes darkened, and he returned to the offensive phase again.
Gripping his weapon, he charged with countless Imperial soldiers in the face of cannon fire and gunsmoke, approaching the enemy-occupied area amid roars and screams.
Charging with him, some people were swept away by heavy fire, fell in a pool of blood with a wail, and died in maddening pain, and some soldiers were hit by energy weapons, and the whole person disappeared directly into the energy beam, and there were no bones left.
The enemy does not abide by the interstellar engagement convention at all, killing any type of troops, and the medical soldiers on the battlefield are even more targeted.
"Boom-"
A cannonball exploded beside Su Xia, the earth splashed, deafening, and the terrifying shock wave knocked Su Xia more than ten meters away.
This time, his luck was not as good as the last time.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
Su Xia fell to the ground in embarrassment, like a rag doll, covered in blood, his eyes were black for a while, he couldn't see anything clearly, there was only a buzzing sound in his ears, there was no pain in his body, and there was chaos around him.
The rest of the soldiers rushed frantically past him, using all kinds of cover, paving a path of death and victory with blood in the midst of the heavy fire of the enemy.
No one noticed Su Xia, just as no one noticed the thousands of wounded soldiers who fell to the ground in this bloody battlefield.
The whole land was burning, corpses were strewn everywhere, and people were falling every second.
It didn't take long for Su Xia's eyes to return to darkness.
[You're dead]
[The number of Doomsday Fortresses you destroyed is zero, please keep up the good work]
【……】
[The number of enemy officers you kill is zero......]
【The ...... you killed】
Do you want to restart the simulation?] 】
Su Xia took a deep breath and rubbed his brain, the feeling of the shell exploding nearby just now was too real, and now his brain was still buzzing.
In that kind of terrifying battlefield, if there is no armor protection, ordinary psionic creatures can only be used as cannon fodder.
Before the two huge forces, the power of the individual was too thin.
After a while, Su Xia clicked [Yes] and continued to brush points.
"Boom—"
The sound of an explosion again, sounding every moment, like the powerless wail of the planet before it died.
Looking down from the sky, the battle area was blood-colored, the burning fire fused with the blood, the once dense forest was also blown to pieces by artillery fire, the broken tree trunks were burning, the smoke was billowing out, and countless corpses became distorted in the firelight, like a cruel picture of hell.
Su Xia dodged all kinds of deadly artillery attacks again and again, dodging left and right on the battlefield, like an old wolf hunting for food, successfully tearing a way out of the enemy's dense intertwined firepower.
After approaching a fire-spewing doom fortress, he didn't even think about it, he directly ripped off an energy bomb and threw it into the fortress.
A few seconds later, a dull roar came from inside the fortress, and it exploded like a can.
Thundered......
The fortress collapsed, smoke and dust rose and rubble fell to the ground.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
An enemy soldier crawled out of the fortress with his body in tow, covered in blood, coughing violently, his hair charred and blackened with his bloody scalp, and several of his fingers blown off.
Before he had time to find cover, he saw Su Xia standing aside, and his panicked expression suddenly became more pleading.
The soldier was thin, and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, at which age he should have been in school.
"Bang!"
Susha didn't relent, a bullet passed, ending his life, and then continued to run to the next bunker.
The battle between the two sides had just begun, and there were corpses everywhere, and no one knew when they would die.
While dealing with the third fortress, Susha was hit by a stray bullet.
Thankfully, the stray bullet only hit the side of his helmet, and after a slight dent, it bounced off and hit an Imperial soldier at his side.
Before Su Xia could rejoice, his location was bombarded by a round of artillery fire.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
The enemy artillery army in the distance, unexpectedly indistinguishable from the enemy, directly covered this area where the two sides were fighting, and killed a large number of their own soldiers and Imperial soldiers alive.
Su Xia's eyes darkened, and he returned to the system interface.
[You're dead]
【You ......】
He did not hesitate, and directly chose [Re-simulation] and returned to the battlefield.
As the minutes ticked by, another night hurried by, the stars in the sky gradually lost their color, the temperature slowly rose, and a touch of dawn hung on the horizon.
It's half past six in the morning.
On this night, Su Xia experienced dozens of tricks to die.
Killed by a cannonball, strafed by a heavy machine gun, pierced by an energy weapon, mistakenly killed by a teammate, crushed to death by a collapsing bunker, crushed to death by the wreckage of a flying weapon falling from the sky, and cracked in half by an enemy psionic warrior......
There are quite a few psionic warriors in the enemy's ground forces.
The psionic warriors were all dressed in powerful armor, like hunting beasts, slaughtering among the Imperial soldiers, and almost every psionic warrior was able to take away a double-digit number of Imperial soldiers.
When facing these psionic warriors, Su Xia experienced that "powerlessness" firsthand.
Come to think of it, those enemies in the past felt the same way when facing his identity as a "masked monster".
[You're dead again]
[When facing a psionic warrior with "soul burning", you should stay away]
[Soul Burning is an "evil art" banned by the Empire, and the so-called "soul" in this evil art is actually the "flesh and blood", "machinery", "titanium particles", "psionic energy" and so on that you have]
[Once you use this skill, all the energy that supports your life will turn into energy that will make you kill like crazy until your last wisp of life is sucked dry]
[This skill is irreversible]
In the midst of each death, Susha learned many lessons.
By eight o'clock in the morning, he had already destroyed seven fortresses in the simulation system, only to be the last one, but at the last moment he was dragged by an enemy and a crippled psionic soldier.
The two side quests are only a little bit close to being completed.
"Whew, go offline to eat!"
Can't grieve her stomach, Su Xia activated the bracelet and returned to the real world.
After dying countless times in the game and seeing countless blood, his appetite did not decrease, but he had an appetite.
Maybe it was because he saw a soldier's broken skull just now, and what Su Xia wanted to eat most now was bean curd.
"It's strange, why are you getting more and more perverted."
Su Xia patted his brain, served two servings of bean curd in the cafeteria, and then got some hot sauce into it, stirred it a few times, it looked sticky and red, and it felt very good.
Just after a few bites, an inquiring voice came from the side: "Are you ...... Pharmacist Su in the game? ”
Su Xia looked for the sound and found that it were two boys with strong bodies.
The two of them were wearing the clothes of the school sanda club, and they looked like they were not low in combat.
"It's me." Su Xia nodded, "What's the matter?" ”
"Can you add a friend, we're in the dormitory building across from you, and we're also part of the Beechburg team."
"No problem."
Su Xia readily agreed, took out his mobile phone, and exchanged friends with the two.
Through exchanges, I learned that these two guys are the president and vice president of the school's sanda club, and they have won awards in large and small competitions in the province, and their combat effectiveness is really good.
It doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with this kind of person.
There are six people in their dormitory, and in reality, they are all five scumbags, and they are all powerless, and if they encounter trouble in the future, multiple friends will have multiple roads.
After eating, Su Xia packed a large bag of sauerkraut buns and took on the responsibility of the old father.
The guys in the bedroom don't know what's going on, and now they like to eat sauerkraut flavored things more and more, and they are probably all damaged by Li Defu.
"Hello...... Hello Hello ...... Eat......"
Su Xia returned to the dormitory and banged the dormitory door, forcibly waking up several roommates.
He tossed the bun aside, brushed his teeth, returned to bed, and continued to wander around the simulated battlefield.
The time passed gradually, and it was getting closer to noon.
At half past eleven in the morning, Su Xia finally blew up the eighth fortress, and he himself died with the enemy at the same time as the fortress exploded.
[You're dead]
[Congratulations, you managed to destroy eight fortresses and got an "S" rating]
【……】
[You kill four enemy officers and get an additional "S" rating]
[You killed sixty-one enemy soldiers and received an additional "S" rating]
[Your growth rate is gratifying, you are already a qualified Imperial Soldier]
【……】
[You have obtained the last mission of "Heavenly War: Phase 1]
[Mission requirements: Attack the enemy's main city and rescue twenty companions on the battlefield]
【……】
Counting the "S" that survived for eight hours, Su Xia now has four "S" evaluations.
The first task requirement released by the bracelet has been achieved.
With a sigh of relief, he exited the simulation system and returned to the ship's wreckage, allowing the robotic arm to remove the simulation equipment from his body.
It didn't take long for the task system to send a prompt.
[Mission: Deep Space Reward]
[Requirements for the current stage have been met]
[You got the prize where the cabin fell, please click to view]
[After entering the prize chamber, the restriction of the first prize will be opened, and you will get a set of Tier 6 battle mechs]
【……】
[You triggered the quest "Disappearing Guest", do you want to pick it up?] 】
Su Xia's gaze froze, staying on the last line of text.
What is this task?
He clicks Yes and then looks at the task details.
【Mission: Disappearing Guest】
[After hearing that the wreckage of a spaceship suspected of being an alien civilization was found in the new station of the Oasis Camp, the Terran resistance organization "Dragon City" sent an investigation team of nearly 100 people to the Oasis Camp]
[In order to save time, they chose a relatively unfamiliar path]
[Just over ten minutes ago, they suddenly lost contact with the Dragon City headquarters, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead]
[The location where they disappeared is the area where the prize cabin fell, please go and investigate]
[Task reward: Depending on the completion of the task, there is a high probability that the skill book will appear]
【……】
[Mission Tip 1: The wreckage of the spaceship that fell in that area may not only have a prize cabin]
[Quest Tip 2: You should open the Interstellar Encyclopedia and check the record of the "Man-eating Tree"]
Seeing the task prompt, Su Xia probably knew what the situation was.
After the disintegration of the spaceship, many cultivation pods that cultivated special plants and flowers also crashed into various areas of the planet.
He had long wondered if there would be alien plant seeds taking root at some drop site.
Now that this mission has appeared, it shows that Su Xia's idea has become a reality.
Those people in Dragon City are likely to be entangled by alien plants with special abilities.
"Man-Eating Tree ......"
Su Xia had an impression of the plant, having seen it in the autobiographies of a spaceship member.
The plant releases a poisonous gas that sleeps creatures, and its branches and roots secrete a corrosive liquid.
If you don't know what the plant is capable of, and you rush into its growth area, even psionic creatures may be carried in it and become nutrients for its growth.
Su Xia walked out of the simulation vault, went to the reading cabin, and picked up a copy of the "Interstellar Encyclopedia".
He flipped through the table of contents, found the number of pages of [Plants, Man-Eating Trees], and began to browse carefully.
It was mentioned above –
In the face of this plant, one should carry a "sobering potion" with you, which you should drink every half hour to combat the lethargic gas.
[Sobering Elixir: The required materials are as follows......]
It's just a third-order elixir, the process is simple, the materials are easy to obtain, and Su Xia can refine it by himself.
In addition to this, there are several other methods.
[Ancient anti-poison: wearing a gas mask]
[Modern Method: Wear a full set of armor with a "poison gas protection system" and test the protection before you go]
[Extreme method: spray flammable liquid from the air, burn the man-eating tree with a fire, and completely solve the source of the poison gas]
[Smart extinguishing method: mobilize a high-power fan, enclose the entire area, and supply air 24 hours a day, so that fresh air can expel the poisonous gas in the man-eating tree area......]
【……】
[In addition, the corrosive liquid secreted by the plant also needs to be guarded against, so it is recommended to wear a complete protective device before exploring]
[It is not recommended to explore alone, please make sure you have a full team]
【……】
After reading it, Su Xia was basically relieved.
His fourth-order armor comes with poison gas protection, thanks to Boss Shu.
Coupled with the sober elixir, it should be no problem to save people.
The location given by the mission is still some distance away from the new station of the Oasis Camp, Su Xia rushed over at full speed, it will take about seven or eight hours, I don't know if those people in Dragon City can last so long.
……
At this time, in a dark and cold jungle.
The ranks of Dragon City are resting.
The person in charge of liaison said: "I can't receive the news from the Dragon City headquarters, there is a problem in this area." ”
"I'll go out later, find a good place and try again."
"How is Xiao Luo's health?" The old dean looked at one person, "Are you better?" Did you catch a cold while traveling overnight? ”
"It's okay, teacher, I'm fine."
The young man named Xiao Luo turned pale and barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
It was because he was unwell that the whole team decided to rest here for a while.
However......
Not long after resting, another person felt unwell, dizzy, weak limbs, and almost fell asleep.
"These plants ......"
The old dean was well-informed and knowledgeable, and immediately noticed something abnormal.
The forest was so quiet that there was no cry of birds, no whispering of insects and beasts, and there was not even a tumbling earthworm in the rotting dead leaves and dirt beneath his feet.
The dense canopy of trees shaded the sunlight, and the surroundings were extremely dark, as if some unknowable danger lurked in the darkness.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The old dean immediately made a decision and ordered to set off.
Hearing the dean's words, the professors and apprentices of the Heavenly Star Academy got up one after another, ready to move on.
But the head of the extraterrestrial civilization research department in Dragon City stopped them and said, "One of our members is unwell, take a little rest, I need to check him out." ”
The old dean looked serious and refused: "Check it out later, you can't stay here, this forest is weird." ”
"What can be weird?" The man frowned, "We're all psionic creatures, can this forest eat us?" ”
