Chapter 1171: The price is too great

With a plop, Zhao Nan felt that the whole person was wrapped in a hot liquid, and finally swam out again, but the skin of his whole body was corroded by the liquid miserably, if it weren't for the system's correction to repair his body, it is estimated that he would have turned into a pair of white bones.

"What is this?" Zhao Nan scolded, and then jumped out of the liquid, fortunately the place where he fell was not far from the strange pink wall, Zhao Nan only needed to jump a little harder, and the person fell onto the original pink platform.

The platform, like the surrounding walls, was made up of something similar to muscle fibers, pink with a bright red, soft, and constantly secreting corrosive liquid, Zhao Nan estimated that this might be the stomach mucosa of a giant whale.

As soon as he confirmed his location, at this moment, a weak call came from not far away.

"Zhao Nan, yes...... Is it Zhao Nan?"

Hearing that voice was very familiar, Zhao Nan couldn't help but be stunned, and half-loud, Zhao Nan called in the direction where the voice came from, "Liu Rufei, is it you?"

"yes, it's me. The voice said.

After getting a response, Zhao Nan immediately threw the illumination technique in his hand out, and soon, the ball of light fell near the place where the sound came from, illuminating the place.

I saw that Liu Rufei was using a big sword to insert it into the pink flesh wall, where half of the person was hanging, she was more unlucky, there was no fulcrum nearby, if it weren't for that big sword, it is estimated that she would have fallen into those acidic liquids.

"Wait, I'll save you. ”

After discovering Liu Rufei, Zhao Nan didn't talk nonsense, and once again unfolded the three pairs of truth sword wings behind him, and with a fan, the person had already appeared next to Liu Rufei.

picked up Liu Rufei's thin waist with one hand. The blades flapped again, and the man was back on the pink platform.

Liu Rufei may have been holding on for too long, and her physical strength was exhausted, and after being put down by Zhao Nan, she basically fell directly to the ground.

"...... you" Zhao Nan was just about to speak, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted by Liu Rufei's current appearance, only to see that the armor on Liu Rufei's body was eroded by corrosive liquid, and most of the places had disappeared, revealing the fair skin below. Even the plump twin peaks and slender thighs are almost exposed to the air.

Liu Rufei also noticed Zhao Nan's gaze, but she didn't react much except for covering it a little with her hand.

"Yes, your equipment will not be corrected by the system. Zhao Nan snorted awkwardly, then took out a new piece of equipment from the system backpack and handed it to her. By the way, turn around.

"Xie Lu Xie!" Liu Rufei's pretty face was hot, and after taking the new equipment, she stood up and began to change. But I saw Zhao Nan with his back to him. I was a little disappointed.

After Liu Rufei changed into new equipment, Zhao Nan asked again: "By the way, you are the only one here?"

"They ......" Liu Rufei's eyes suddenly moistened, and she choked up: "Down there." ”

Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction that Liu Rufei pointed, only to see the place where the illumination technique shone. There is a huge whirlpool.

A large amount of acidic liquid was flowing rapidly, rushing towards the center of the vortex, and it seemed to lead somewhere else.

"That place should be the gut that leads to the whale, when I and Boat 3 were swallowed in. The No. 3 boat fell directly into the gastric juice over there, and after a while, the entire ship was digested by the gastric juice, and as for the people on the No. 3 boat, ......" Speaking of this, Liu Rufei couldn't go on.

There is no need for Liu Rufei to explain, Zhao Nan probably also thought about the fate of those people in the boat, if Liu Rufei hadn't stuck her sword in the stomach wall in time, it was estimated that the fate would be the same.

"Don't be sad, it's good to save you. Zhao Nan said comfortingly, and then said: "The most important thing now is how we get out of here." ”

......

At the same time that Zhao Nan found Liu Rufei, Xiao Qiang and the others had already sailed a long distance.

Along the way, everyone once again encountered a large number of sea monsters, and as Song Yu expected, the closer the fleet got to the final city, the more those sea monsters numbered. In addition to the deep-sea octopus at the beginning, other sea monsters appeared later, such as tiger sharks, swordfish, and even some mutated seagulls the size of flying dragons.

Such a dense attack made Xiao Qiang and the others dare not rest, and throughout the night, everyone almost had to take turns changing guards to defend against these sea monsters coming from all directions.

At the same time, a similar scene also appeared in the sea area opposite Cape Horn.

The Central Military Department of Country C, under the organization of Li Jianguo and other political commissars, finally organized a considerable number of surviving players, and transported most of the ocean-going warships of Country C through the teleportation coordinates left by Zhao Nan.

However, the number of surviving players who fled to Antarctica organized by Li Jianguo this time is only 560,000, which is a far cry from the original number of 164 million surviving players who stayed on the territory of country C.

The reason is that there are too many people, even if Li Jianguo wants to take all the people away, the difficulty of organizing them is similar to ascending to the sky.

Therefore, in the end, in desperation, the residents in the three security zones could only be organized to flee.

Although it is said that there are people in the three major security zones, only about 1/10 of the people who can finally board these ocean-going warships, and many more people are forced to "give up" because of the limited resources to go to sea.

Recalling the eyes of those who were forced to stay in the safe zone and wait for death, Li Jianguo felt deeply helpless and self-reproachful, and finally ordered those soldiers who also stayed behind to share the coordinates left by Zhao Nan after the departure of the Central Military Headquarters, hoping that they could go to the South Pole through other means.

Although, the odds of them surviving are not high.

"Boom"

A loud sound of shelling pulled Li Jianguo's thoughts back, and Commander Chen also happened to run in at this time and reported to Li Jianguo:

"Chairman, there's a lot of sea monsters ahead. ”

"Sea monsters?"

"It should be the otherworldly monsters that have been refreshed by the system, all of them are not earth creatures, and our fleet has begun to fight back. ”

"Isn't that good? What's the problem?" Sensing the hesitation in Commander Chen's eyes, Li Jianguo asked sternly, "Commander Chen, is something happening?" ”

"Chairman. Commander Chen gritted his teeth and said, "The number of people in our fleet is too many. The target is conspicuous, and those sea monsters are innumerable from the sea, and if we continue to sail in this group to the South Pole, it is estimated that it will be impossible, once our shells are exhausted, all the warships will be surrounded by those sea monsters, and then sunk one by one. ”

"What do you mean......" Li Jianguo felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"Give up the fleets on the right and left flanks and let them give us time to break through, as long as ......"

Before Commander Chen's words were finished, Li Jianguo had already interrupted.

"No, I can't. Isn't this equivalent to sacrificing more people?" Li Jianguo said sharply: "We have abandoned 164 million people to escape alone, should we abandon our partners here now?"

"Chairman, this is also helpless, if we don't sacrifice the right and left flank fleets to buy us time, I'm afraid all of us will have to be dragged to death here. Commander Chen said sadly.

Li Jianguo trembled when he heard this. His face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood, and his eyes were hollow. His face seemed to be old for more than ten years. Ban Xiang said slowly: "Is there no other way?"

"It's gone. Commander Chen said with difficulty.

Li Jianguo closed his eyes, he couldn't bear it, but he had to make a decision.

"Go ahead and do what you want. Li Jianguo waved his hand.

"Yes. ”

......

In fact, on the way to Antarctica, it was not only the Central Military Fleet of Country C that was attacked. Along with the top 32 countries, they were also attacked by a large number of sea monsters on their way to the Antarctic sea.

I don't know if the relationship is deliberately set by the system, but the more people go to Antarctica. The more sea monsters attacked them, on the contrary, some small boat teams that went to the group of a few people were attacked by the sea monsters, and even if there were, they were only a few small sea monsters of Ling Ding, and they would not be refreshed by the system after they were generally retired.

......

The people who are still alive on the earth, whether they are national units or individual units, they are all trying their best to go to the final city of Antarctica.

In this way, two days later, the first team to land on Antarctic soil was finally born.

System: You and your party have discovered a new map, Antarctica.

Almost everyone, after landing on land, will pop up in front of such a system prompt, although it is just a simple map clearing prompt, but it means that everyone has come to Antarctica.

Xiao Qiang and the others experienced two days and two nights, almost without rest to resist the attacks of various sea monsters, and finally came to the South Pole with difficulty.

This process is much more difficult than imagined, and the cost is much more than imagined. Five fishing boats, two of which were also sunk after the sinking of the No. 3 boat, were also devoured by various large sea monsters. There were originally a thousand people, but now there are less than five hundred left.

"Everyone rested in place and set off in fifteen minutes. Xiao Qiang said with a solemn expression.

"Aren't you resting for a while? Everyone is tired, they are not like you, they are not the chosen ones. Wu Yunong walked over and said.

I saw that after everyone got off the land from the boat, they all sat on the ground with a depressed face, because there was no physical strength for systematic correction, so after a round of bumps, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted, and they couldn't beat a trace of spirit at all.

Xiao Qiang can naturally see it, but even so, Xiao Qiang will not change his mind.

"Look. Xiao Qiang pointed to the city of the end in the distance, and then said in a deep voice: "It's not that I don't let everyone rest, but time doesn't allow, according to the scale of the map, to get from here to the city of the end, it still needs a full distance of three hundred kilometers, if you don't set off again, can you guarantee where to go before the early hours of tomorrow morning?"

"But at least rest a little longer......"

Wu Yunong wanted to say something, but one hand held her down, Wu Yunong looked back and saw that it was Shi Qingqing.

"Don't say it, if this matter changes to anyone, as long as they still want to live, they will not choose to rest at this time. Shi Qingqing said, and said: "You go down and tell everyone, if anyone doesn't want to leave, just stay and rest, but the big army is not a person who will wait to rest." ”

When Wu Yunong heard this, he also understood, and Shi Qingqing's meaning was also obvious, whoever wants to live will continue to move forward, and if he doesn't want to live, he will stay and rest, and then wait for death.

Xiao Qiang looked at the back of Wu Yunong leaving. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he said to Shi Qingqing: "You still understand this little girl." ”

"I'm just trying to remind them as best I can that none of us can save them if they don't have the determination to move forward. Shi Qingqing sighed lightly.

In fact, whether it was Shi Qingqing or Xiao Qiang, they all understood that the plan to take everyone to the City of the End safely from the beginning was probably impossible to achieve, and even according to the current situation, if they wanted to arrive in the City of the End before the early hours of tomorrow, I am afraid they would need to give up more people.

Xiao Qiang and Shi Qingqing's hearts even began to calculate, if there was not enough time in the future. I'm afraid that I have to give up the vast majority of the people, and then the Chosen One with the ability on my side will directly leave the large army and move forward at full speed, fighting to save my life.

It took about fifteen minutes of rest, though most people were unwilling. But after hearing what Shi Qingqing had just explained, everyone didn't dare to stay here to rest any longer.

After all, people have already come here. If you give up at this time. This obviously outweighs the loss, and everyone has seen the horror of those sea monsters when they are at sea, so everyone's hearts are even more worried that they will be abandoned by the large army, and then die under the fangs of those sea monsters.

Of course, Xiao Qiang and they don't do nothing. In order to speed up the pace of the team's progress, Xiao Qiang let Shi Qingqing, Caroline, and Serostia. Lili, Zhao Ying and other people who can cast buff magic are scattered in the team and give everyone a good buff to speed up, although this can't reduce the fatigue of these people, but at least it can make their pace brisk.

However, Xiao Qiang still underestimated the speed at which people's hearts collapsed.

Because the current Antarctica is in the polar night, since Xiao Qiang and the others entered the Antarctic Circle, they have not seen the sun, and the surrounding such a gloomy environment, coupled with the day and night of the sea battle in the first two days, everyone has been physically and mentally exhausted.

Less than 50 kilometers after the procession had advanced, some of the elderly people, women and children began to lose their patience, and even with the magic of acceleration, their speed gradually slowed down.

"Don't go. ”

Seeing a trace of unbearability in Shi Qingqing's eyes, he wanted to turn around to help an old man who fell to the ground, but was quickly stopped by Xiao Qiang.

Shi Qingqing glanced at the old man, and finally held back.

However, more and more people are falling, especially some relatives who know in the team have fallen to the ground, and many young people have begun to slow down and wait for these relatives.

In this way, the large army was gradually forced to split into two sections, and those who walked in front were naturally led by Xiao Qiang, the Chosen One, and those who were behind, those old and weak women and children and related relatives.

Gradually, seeing that they were about to be abandoned, some young and hot-tempered people couldn't help it, they couldn't bear to be abandoned by their relatives, and they didn't want to be abandoned themselves, so their spearhead began to directly lead Xiao Qiang and others on this trip to Antarctica.

"How can you leave us behind? There are still many people behind who can't keep up, don't you just die and can't save us?" a young man came to Xiao Qiang and roared.

"We don't have that obligation. Xiao Qiang just said this lightly, and then led everyone to continue to speed away.

The people's hearts have been scattered, and even if they do nothing now, they can't remedy it, and all Xiao Qiang can do now is to do his best to take some people who can continue to move forward and go to the City of Death.

However, because of this scene, some people who couldn't see it took the initiative to leave the army and join the backward part of the people with righteous indignation.

In this regard, Xiao Qiang and the others could only shake their heads helplessly.

That's it, the whole team was completely divided into two parts, and the rest of the people who were willing to follow Xiao Qiang and them were less than two hundred people left.

After walking hundreds of kilometers so intermittently, everyone encountered another trouble, that is, some monsters that were refreshed on land.

Snow Penguin (Elite), LV100, HP: 300,000/300,000, MP: 0/0

Purgatory Ice Bear (Leader), LV100, HP: 750,000/750,000, MP: 0/0

On the way forward for everyone, these two monsters suddenly appeared, not to mention the ice bear, the commander level, although the number is not as many as penguins, but looking at the past, there are at least hundreds. As for those penguins, it's really hard to estimate, anyway, as far as the eye can see, the white snow is occupied by these little guys with red eyes and black backs and white bellies.

"What should I do?" Shi Qingqing asked Xiao Qiang's opinion while buffing the people in the team.

"Now we can only go forward and not retreat, let's do our best. "What Xiao Qiang said about doing his best is whether he can protect those behind him in this next battle.

Shi Qingqing sighed helplessly, and then ordered some people to stay to protect everyone, and then he took the initiative to fight.

All kinds of rumbling explosions soon sounded on the Antarctic ice field shrouded in the polar night, although everyone tried their best to protect it, but because there were too many monsters, and this was flat land, some protected people would run around because of fear, which added a lot of difficulty to Shi Qingqing and others who protected them.

As a result, after the first battle, the original team of 200 people was reduced by 1/3, and even some people had completely given up the courage to continue moving forward in the battle just now.

Everyone was helpless, but now there was really no time for them to grieve, and after giving up some of those who had lost their fighting spirit, everyone continued on their way.

At 20:17 in the evening, Xiao Qiang finally came to the foot of the City of Finality at the expense of most people.

Looking at the towering city wall in front of him, and then at the team of less than a hundred people behind him, Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly: "This price is too great......" (to be continued......
