Chapter 21: Fighting, Justifications, and Excuses (Part II)
On an isolated island, all that remains is the silence of the destruction.
The Bioreactor, Yuri's most basic and widely used building, is now distorted and deformed by some powerful force, making it almost impossible to make out its original appearance. Of the five huge storage jars, three had been completely shattered, and the remaining two had been destroyed to the point that they were only half left, toppling crookedly. The humans in the can, who had been extracted from biomass energy and could only vaguely see their bodies, poured out along with a disgusting yellow-brown liquid, staining the earth a sad color.
On the other side, the Getter cannon was destroyed with precision, the wreckage of the Tornado Tank still smelled faintly burnt, the UFO-like laser UFO was torn apart and fell to the ground, and the seemingly sturdy fortifications were now only twisted scrap metal. Their internal circuits and machinery could no longer be activated after being destroyed, and the remaining electric sparks occasionally rattled through the silent ruins, and the smoke swirled through the air, with the smell of metal and gunpowder, as if telling of the fierceness of the battle and the destruction of the past.
The area of this small island is not too large, so Yuri did not put too many troops here, otherwise it would not be a Tempest tank and a gate cannon stationed in this area, this kind of thing in front of Zheng Zha, it can be like cutting wheat with a knife, destroying an entire piece of existence.
…… However, it was not Zheng Zhe who did all this.
The figure belonging to another woman in the Middle-earth team landed gracefully from mid-air.
Zhan Lan's powerful and vast spiritual power was like an invisible net, easily covering the entire area, covering everything and checking everything. Her spiritual perception penetrated the wreckage and ruins on the surface, deep into the land and the sand, and sensed a subtle sense of incongruity.
This time, there was no need to observe the traces of excavation like Chu Xuan, nor did he need anyone's guidance, Zhan Lan's spiritual power was like a pair of invisible hands, easily digging a small device out of the ground. And in the next moment, the huge spiritual power quickly gathered, becoming more concentrated and sharp, like an invisible blade, grinding the chip inside the device into powder along with the small device itself.
“…… One hundred and forty-two, which is still one unit short of the results I scanned before. ”
Feeling some slight change in the mental power scanning image in her mind, the mental power controller of the Middle-earth team let out a silent sigh, and after she counted the results she had just caused, she also realized the slightest mistake in the slightest difference.
And in the next moment, the spiritual power in Zhan Lan's body turned into an invisible barrier behind him like an eye, allowing the attack from the last Yuri recruit who had escaped to escape to dissipate invisibly.
Then, with a slight pinch, the consciousness is wiped out.
Zhan Lan would not have any other emotions for this act of taking the lives of others, because these Yuri recruits have been transformed by biochemical and mind control technology, and their ego has been extremely erased and diluted, and they have almost become existences without autonomous consciousness.
She was well aware that these modified Yuri recruits existed more like dead zombies, or non-living robots, rather than human beings in the full sense of the word. And she is also very aware of one thing, one thing that she has ignored for a long time.
- I've always been too well protected by my teammates on the Middle-earth team.
Invisible spiritual power gently surrounds the body, like a transparent fabric that can be woven and shaped at will. Under the guidance of Zhan Lan's thoughts, it was as soft and tough as layers of thin veil, slowly encircling her body, covering her figure in the air.
This is the use of spiritual power in combat, concealing the body, eliminating sounds and smells, although it is not difficult for Zhan Lan to use it now, it is an area that she has never been involved in before.
It's not that I don't want to, but it's not necessary. Because in the past battles, she did not need to stand on the front line as a front-line combatant, she only needed to stay in the rear with peace of mind and do her job well.
But such an experience has led to Zhan Lan's lack of some aspects. She has always lacked real "actual combat", so she just looked ahead to exercise the "breadth" and "broadness" of her mental power, thus ignoring the gravel that can be seen everywhere under her feet, that is, the exercise of subtleties.
The slightest mistake is a thousand miles. Perhaps the total amount of mental power could allow Zhan Lan to gain an overwhelming advantage in battles with other opponents and crush the past like Zhang Jie. But she has always been "overwhelming people with force", but this time she met Yuri, who has a stronger total mental power and a very similar type.
- And my current strength is really too far behind in the reincarnation world.
This is a fact that Zhan Lan realized in her heart after discovering that her mental power scan was invisibly misled, especially after knowing that if Yuri completed the mind controller on the moon, she could even use it to remotely control the billions of humans on the entire earth, she understood the gap between herself and the other party.
The difficulty of a team's quests is correlated with the strength of the strongest team in addition to the side stories they acquire and the performance of other reincarnation squads. And now that the Central Continent team now has two members of the fourth-order strength, it will only become more and more difficult for the world that the Lord God will arrange next after the welfare period of the Pacific Rim World.
So, you need to improve, you need to work hard, you need to step out of your comfort zone and go to areas that you have never set foot in before.
- I'm not good at fighting, at least not relative to them. But I can study, to learn the way those enemies fight, to learn how to use their mental power, to push my strength to a higher level.
After dealing with all the enemies on this small island, Zhan Lan's eyes slowly closed, and her spiritual power spread out from her like ripples. In her consciousness, the scanned image before crushing the chip just now was extremely clear, and a part of the spiritual power under her guidance continued to self-purify and iterate the algorithm, patching any loopholes in the shielding of spiritual power, just like in the battle with the Yinzhou team, by learning the other party's way of using spiritual power.
At the same time, another part of Zhan Lan's spiritual power began to spread outward, and her perception penetrated the air, probed high into the sky, and dived into the sea. She's on the lookout for any enemies that might be hidden, any possible Yuri stronghold, and any superweapon attacks that could be launched at any moment. Her mental power was like an invisible tentacle, meticulously searching every inch of the sea and every cloud, making sure that no threat could escape her senses.
Then, she sensed a momentary touch of her net-like spiritual power, like a stone cast on the calm water, stirring up gentle ripples. And the clouds in the sky also have abnormal energy accumulation.
"Zheng Zha, at three o'clock, forty-five kilometers and three hundred and eighty-six meters, there is a large base of the enemy."
If you are simply weak, then there is still room for improvement, and there is still room for improvement, but once you take your weakness for granted, and are satisfied with your own efforts and achievements, then the way forward will stop, let alone complete the evolution of self-transcendence, and cross the boundary of the so-called fourth-order genetic lock.
There is no need for a reason, because those things are just excuses to hinder the progress of progress, all that is needed is to fight and become stronger.
Become stronger than your current self, at least you can't be left behind by that person, and you can't even see your back.
The next moment, before the energy of the lightning storm gathered, Zhan Lan's figure disappeared into the sea breeze, leaving only a word.
"I won't, let my choice be wrong." (End of chapter)
