Chapter 206: All or Nothing
I retreated to the entrance of the cave, Hu Tao and the other party's ability were still engaged in a tug-of-war, the two sides were equal in strength, I shouted to retreat, they ran out of the cave under my cover, I used my mental ability to stop the person who was going to pursue, and then led my people up to the top cave.
If we can't grab the source stone, the overall strength of our camp will not be improved, and I once again tasted defeat, but before leaving, I caught an opponent who was injured by Hu Tao.
Using his mental power to affect his abilities, I took them out of ten kilometers in one go, making sure that no one was catching up, and then I took a breath and rested for a while.
When I returned to the small city, I went directly into the secret passage, Shangguan was away from them, my hanging heart was somewhat relaxed, and along the way I was worried that the bearded accomplices would attack, and it seemed that I was too worried.
I didn't get the source stone back, so I briefly explained the situation to everyone, and handed over the injured captives to Shangguan Li, who would interrogate them.
Merlin stopped the bleeding wounds of the captives, and I walked to the wall and sat down, the tunnel was all made of rock, only two meters wide, and the survivors stood or sat against the wall on the left, leaving a walkway for people to walk.
I also sat against the wall on the left, calming my mind, the experience of running away from the desert was not pleasant, but there was one thing I needed to think about calmly.
Other people want to know what happened, Hu Tao can tell them, in fact, there is nothing to say, the only person who heard the words of the medical madman is me.
I remembered the old lady in red, and at this time, it seemed that she didn't use an ability to stop me, there was a difference between energy and energy, and the moment the two forces collided with each other, I was only surprised by her strength, and I didn't carefully understand and distinguish the type of power.
Her energy gives me the feeling that it is very similar to the fire blue bead, that is, the demon pill, although the power is formless and incorporeal, the breath can be perceived.
I secretly thought, could it be that the old lady in red is the same as Mei Yue, a demon?
At this time, Shangguan Li came over, as if he had something to say, I stopped my thoughts and looked at him, and he told me that he had obtained important information from the Anomalous One, and that he said that the people in the cave were in the same group as the bearded man.
The gang heard from Lin Ruoshi that we sent someone to find an ore that could upgrade the ability, so they sent the bearded man to hold us back, and their people went to mine the source stone first.
I surged up again, Lin Ruoshi and they really knew everything, and they said everything, no matter how bad the small town was, they protected them for a while, and I didn't embarrass them at all when I left, but as a result, they wanted to kill all of us.
Suppressing the anger that could not be vented for the time being, I quickly realized that something was wrong, the beard did not delay for much, and the situation outside the Source Stone Cave was not like what had been arranged for a long time, it was impossible for a medical madman to study the great effect of the Source Stone in such a short time.
Unless, he already knew about the source stone and knew it very well, Lin Ruoshi just revealed a 'good news' to people who had already studied the source stone.
The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case, but since they have a master like the old lady in red to help, why are they afraid that we will take the lead?
I analyzed it carefully again, and I felt that the most likely reason might be that they had no other masters except for an old lady in red!
If so, we still have a chance to snatch the source stone back, a plan is slowly taking shape in my heart, and Shangguan Li's subsequent interrogation also confirmed my suspicion, the camp of this group of people is full of low-level abilities, and there is only one trump card for the old lady in red, and they all call her Granny Hong.
Then think about it from another perspective, the other party knows that we have captured the prisoners, and may have prepared for the location of the camp to be exposed, and eighty percent will abandon the camp and move to prevent us from hitting the door.
Just when I thought that this must be the case, the other party surprised me, and instead of fleeing, he gathered all his strength to knock on our door.
I originally wanted Hu Tao and them to rest and rest, and wait for the energy consumed to recover, but as soon as it was dawn, Zhou Li found that there were hundreds of looters around the small city surrounding us, all in the southeast and northwest, leaving no dead ends at all, and the team approaching the main gate carried a few heavy weapons.
Although Zhou Li found out early, if we fled, the town would be home, and all the hard work of the months would be in vain, and we made wedding clothes for others.
Unwilling and angry scorched my heart, I asked the others to retreat to the mountains immediately, the location of the secret passage Lin Ruoshi and they also knew that it was no longer safe for the survivors to stay in the dark passage.
Fortunately, Lin Ruoshi and the others only know the location of the entrance, they have not entered, and they don't know where the exit is, otherwise we would really be caught in the urn.
I want to go out alone, Ah Ying and they don't agree, the twins got up from the corner where they were resting, and said that they wanted to go out with me and fight each other, they had raised well during this time, they grew a little taller, and they looked full of fighting spirit.
"You misunderstood, I didn't go out desperately, I was rushing for time, and I couldn't do anything with the teleportation device."
"Then let's go too, in case they don't tell you more, come up and start fighting, and we can withstand it for a while." The twins said resolutely, a little bit of raising soldiers for a thousand days, using it for a momentary feeling.
Hu Tao, A Ying, and even Cheng Yifeng all gathered to me, and the determination to go out and fight was written on his face, this time Gao Yan didn't stop Hu Tao, the silky black lines hung down from the palms of her hands, squirming like a living thing, this is her new skill, she named it Silk Play, as the name suggests, this kind of black line can control people's behavior, the controlled person is like a puppet, although the mind is still her own, but the behavior is not controlled by the brain.
Gao Yan smiled at me, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt that her smile was very dark.
"I'll go too." She said.
Looking at the determined faces in front of me, I also smiled with relief, "Okay, let's go out and play happily together." ”
We've never been out of the hole like we are today, and it's a little exciting to think about it, and it's a good feeling to have people fighting side by side.
There are not many strangers in the small city, divided into eight groups, out of the city from eight directions, Li Huaiqing is responsible for liaison, they usually take turns hunting and forming teams, who cooperates with whom, who is good at what is better than me, everyone is divided into groups, and the rest of the people are in a group with me.
When I saw that my team members were Zhang Jianing, Gao Yan and Xiang Yiyi, and Ah Ying, she was left by me to take care of the elderly and children.
Our girl group is responsible for guarding the main gate, and the opponent has about twice as many people as we have and four times as many armed men, so if we let them get close to the town, a single rocket will be enough for us.
But we can't go halfway to intercept because we don't have enough manpower, and we can't guarantee that no one on the other side will break through the defensive net.
Gao Yan said that the other party may be out of the nest this time, if we can divide the manpower and go straight to the other party's nest, we will definitely succeed.
I looked at Zhang Jianing and Xiang Yiyi and asked them if this was feasible, Zhang Jianing didn't understand why I asked like this, but Xiang Yiyi looked serious and nodded cautiously.
"You three, are you sure?" I asked.
Zhang Jianing was stunned, suddenly understood what I meant, her face was full of surprise, she first looked at Gao Yan, as if she wanted to know what Gao Yan's reaction was, and Gao Yan only had confidence in her eyes.
Xiang Yiyi pressed her shoulder, and also gave her an encouraging look, Zhang Jianing because of the shadow in her heart, it was inevitable that she lacked self-confidence, and with the encouragement of Gao Yan and Xiang Yiyi, her eyes turned to me again, and I smiled at her.
This is a big gamble, betting hope on the three girls, and Xiang Yiyi and Zhang Jianing are not superpowers, and if we fail, we are likely to lose them.
"Okay, I promise not to hold you back." Zhang Jianing gave the greatest promise she could give.
"Are you really reassuring me?" Gao Yan looked at me with a smile and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of asking for something.
I handed the teleportation egg into her hands, Lin Ruoshi's matter is a lesson for me, but it is not enough for me to choke on food, Gao Yan's feelings for Hu Tao are obvious to everyone, she will not run away alone, as long as Hu Tao is still there.
"Remember, if you can't do it, you will save your life." I shook Gao Yan's hand vigorously, looked at Zhang Jianing and Xiang Yiyi again, and said solemnly.
The three of them looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths all pulled up a smile, this is a smile of trust, I can see that they really want to do something for the town and everyone, and the days of getting along day and night are not in vain.
This almost crazy decision made the three of them immediately embark on the journey, they went straight to each other's lair according to the position of the captive, I did not inform Li Huaiqing, if the others knew that I had become the commander of the light pole, the formation would be destroyed, and they would definitely send a few more people to support me.
Before the team attacking from the main gate approached the wooden wall, I launched a spiritual attack, I only have one person, I can't afford to fight them, I must strike first.
But the other party is not stupid, there are two psychic abilities among them, although the level is not high, but they can catch my blow, and at the same time as I attack, they also use two mortars.
The wooden wall was blown out by a large gap in the shell, and another bomb landed not far from me, and I couldn't outrun the exploding shrapnel without a teleportation egg.
I didn't expect to be able to withstand the toughest attacks unscathed, and when I pulled out the shrapnel embedded in my thigh and limped out of the wooden wall, a large part of the attacking team still had a fighting force.
That's when I learned that they also had ability cancellers, but they couldn't protect the entire team due to their limited numbers.
Than heat weapons? I only have one gun, than the ability? The two psychic abilities who were in charge of operating the mortar hid in the protective circle of the eliminator after firing the bomb and abandoned their heavy weapons.
They didn't give me the slightest respite, and after blowing up the wooden wall, they raised their guns and fired at me, and I had to hide behind the intact wooden wall, but the bullets still rained down.
There was cover of fire, and the attacking team was getting closer, and I raised my gun to fight back from time to time, but it was completely blind, and I didn't know if I hit anyone.
I really didn't expect the other side to have an ability elimination device, and now I'm going to suffer a big loss, and the sound of dense gunfire and ability collision is also sounding elsewhere, and it seems that other attacking and defending teams are also fighting.
I gritted my teeth and prepared to retreat, but I was shaken out by the blast of a grenade, followed by a second, third, and fourth grenades.
However, they didn't even fall to me, and one by one they seemed to hit a transparent barrier, and when they exploded en masse, not even a single spark collapsed on me.
