The bad news is that after climbing the cliff, there is an endless plain. This bad news, which should have been good news, is because there are many virus nests scattered on the plain, especially the natural stone bridge they are about to go to.
According to Mu Xiaoya's map marks, if they want to pass the stone bridge, they will definitely alert the pathogens blocking the entrance, and everyone will inevitably have a fierce battle.
"Are there ten thousand pathogens just on the surface?" Linda pointed worriedly at the symbols marking the number of enemies on the map. This is just one of the nests...
"Not only that, every nest is emitting virus particles. Once you get close, you will definitely be infected." Xu Qian looked at Linda silently, with the subtext being, 'It's still too late for you to go back now'...
"Don't worry. Now that we are here, we have no intention of going back empty-handed. Otherwise, we would really have no shame in explaining to our fallen comrades..."
Nangong Lingyu said with a faint smile, that expression of "I want to hold on to someone even if I die", rather than worrying about not being able to explain to her companions, it is better to say that she is excitedly looking forward to the next battle.
"Yes. So for this battle, we will focus on the Fairy Army."
Xu Qian assigned tasks in an orderly manner, asking Linda and others to follow her instructions...
After the rest period, everyone set off again. Mu Xiaoya, who had been tortured by a certain cloud, after an hour of deep sleep, now led the team forward with heroic appearance and high energy.
First of all, Xiaoya Meimei must find a safe place to stay and let everyone climb up the cliff to avoid encountering enemies while climbing.
Since they had to climb the mountain, Xu Qian and other non-combatants had no choice but to leave the cart.
Zhou Yun carries Xu Caiyue on his back, Xu Jian holds Xu Qian in his arms, Xiao Fen carries An Ji'er, Cheng Shuang drags Rong Yandan, Xiao Kale makes enough food and clothing by himself...
Except for a few girls who were really powerless, Shen Yinying and other girls all climbed to the top easily and comfortably with the help of Willis' special power of gravity reduction.
Xu Qian looked at the hand-drawn cart that had been with him for a long time at the foot of the mountain, waved and said "goodbye", and followed the group on foot.
In order not to let the few sports novices fall behind, the blond girl had no choice but to continue to use her gravity power.
The energetic little princess immediately flew around happily. After all, such opportunities do not come often...
However, two hours later, Xu Qian, a congenital sports idiot, couldn't stand the hard work and hung dying behind Zhou Yun, deeply regretting his previous energetic actions.
"This feels...a bit like the last link of the Marathon Relay."
In the fifth loop of the marathon, Zhou Yun held one in front of him and carried one behind him.
"I am recovering my strength for the final charge."
There are several virus nests around the natural stone bridge, and each nest is home to tens of thousands of pathogens. It is impossible to completely eliminate them.
Xu Qian's method was to concentrate his firepower and rush forward.
However, according to Mu Xiaoya's map analysis, starting from the first unavoidable virus nest, everyone charged non-stop with all their strength. Not counting the fighting time, it was estimated to take twenty minutes.
With such a long exposure, Xu Qian could only pray to God that he would not drag everyone down. No, even if he drags everyone down, he must not fall behind.
Turning a delicate and expensive beauty into a 'Cordyceps sinensis' is simply worse than death... or so Xu Qian thought.
"Xiao Qian...were you talking to me during the break today?" Zhou Yun looked at the little princess in disbelief. He always felt that Xu Qian, who was enigmatic and soothing, like a goddess, could not be compared no matter how he looked at her.
The person in front of me, Xu Qian, who has nothing to do except make soy sauce and drag oil bottles, is equated with Xu Qian.
"Of course it's Xiaoqian. Which one does Xiaoyun prefer? Mature flavor? Or girlish sentiment?"
"It's you anyway, I love both of them." Zhou Yun ran around with the beauty on his back, and Xu Qian's plump body rubbed against her, feeling really comfortable.
The little princess's development is perfect, her body is tall and graceful, and her appearance is impeccable. Except for everything related to sports, there is no flaw at all. She is indeed the woman I want to have most...
"Hua Xin..." Xu Qian pouted her lips and looked at her lover with a sly look, knowing that he was thinking about unhealthy things again.
"Is it too much trouble to love you?" Zhou Yun touched the beauty's mouth sideways.
"Really?" Xu Qian looked at the boy suspiciously. He only loves her? If he is so jealous, does Zhou Yun dare to nod his head in confirmation?
"Hi~! Hehehehe..." Zhou Yun took a breath of air and could only show an embarrassed giggle. The reason...the sleeping little fox in his arms bit someone!
"Stop!" Mu Xiaoya suddenly stopped because they had entered enemy territory.
The pathogen determines whether someone is approaching based on sound, vibration, temperature, etc. Therefore, if everyone continues to run, the sound of footsteps and the vibration of the ground will attract the enemy's attention.
Everyone must now keep a low profile and move forward. Although the speed is slow, they can try to avoid fighting.
Only when forced to do so, they would attack with all their might.
"I noticed there is an enemy presence three hundred meters away on the right. Everyone, go to the left and be gentle. They shouldn't be able to detect it..." Ning Yuyi pointed the direction, and the young man and others tiptoed, sneaking forward like a cat catching a mouse.
Although everyone knows that fighting is still unavoidable in the end, if everyone advances one meter more, there will be less pressure when charging, and one less person may die...
Everyone followed Sister Ning's guidance and moved carefully step by step.
"It's the limit... The first three directions, left, right, and two hundred meters away are all enemies. Once we get close, we will be discovered immediately."
The closer they get to the natural stone bridge, the denser the pathogens become. Ning Yuyi can no longer find a gap to move forward, so forcing a breakout is the only way.
Mu Xiaoya quietly looked into the distance, then painted on the ground with branches to mark the location of the pathogen.
There are now a total of fourteen virus nests between everyone and Shiqiao. Some of them can be avoided, while others have to be faced.
The road ahead happened to be blocked by two virus nests, so the boy and others had no choice but to break through.
Breaking out of an encirclement will inevitably involve fighting. Once the two sides clash, the surrounding virus nests will be alerted, and the consequences can be imagined.
Therefore, Zhou Yun must establish a charge route based on the current situation and try his best to avoid the incoming pathogens.
"No matter which route we take to break out, the distance will not be shortened."
Zhou Yun had a headache. There were at least four to five thousand enemies in each virus nest. No matter which direction Yunzi Battalion chose to charge, there would be an endless battle.
"Ah, if it's the same no matter which path we choose, we'll charge in a straight line."
Xu Qian suddenly spoke. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Based on their current positions, it would probably take nearly an hour to rush straight to the stone bridge, even if there was no battle.
Taking a detour may reduce encounters with enemies, but if the battle lasts for a long time, the disadvantages will increase in disguise, making the situation even worse.
"Well, that's it. Xiao Lisi gives the order, and everyone prepares for battle and prepares to charge."
Xu Qian got down from behind the young man, and Xu Caiyue ignored her lover's objections and stretched quietly, saying that she wanted to run to exercise. Of course, the two women said they wanted to be self-reliant, but in fact they couldn't do without the blond girl's supernatural assistance.
Zhou Yun looked back at the soldiers who were united as one, and his confidence suddenly doubled. He silently raised his hand, made a three, two, one countdown gesture, and then waved forward...
charge!
Zhou Yun raised his spear and galloped forward, taking the lead and charging into the enemy's formation fearlessly.
The sound of galloping horses immediately attracted the attention of pathogens, the earth rumbled, and foreign objects lurking in the loess emerged one after another.
The particle light pollen virus spreads, dandelion-like parasitic seeds float, and animals covered with mushrooms, moss, and flower buds swarm over the sky.
"Leave aside the pollen virus, you must be careful about parasitic seeds, they can be fatal..." Han Xue hurriedly told her friends that once they are possessed by parasitic seeds, their consciousness will be eroded by the germs.
In short, they can make teenagers and others brain-dead in the real world and turn into vegetative states...
In the dark information age, 'Qiu' used similar parasitic seeds to punish those with electronic powers who entered the sub-world.
"We'll be fine." Zhou Yun replied calmly but without doubt.
"The Eighth Style of Haotian's Spear: Fight Fiercely with No Regrets!"
The blade of the gun breaks through the waves with rapid winds, stabbing, stabbing, attacking, entangling, circling, blocking, taking, throwing, pointing, and dialing. With Zhou Yun as the center, it blows up an unstoppable whirlwind. It seems like a simple normal attack, but it kills
Due to his extremely strong penetrating power, pathogens below level 3 are basically unable to even get close to him.
"Shuai Yun is full of energy, please don't hold back!" Luo Qing immediately commanded the fairy army to form a triangle formation.
A head-on battle between electronic life forms and pathogens is really dangerous, so Xu Qian plans to have the Fairy Army open up the front and charge in a triangular formation.
Linda and others conducted long-range shooting within the triangular array to avoid being eroded by particle pollen spread by pathogens.
"Storm strikes!"
A strong wind instantly blew Xia Lu into the air. The girl waved her hand lightly, and six tornadoes spread in a rice shape, instantly blowing away the pollen that filled the virus nest.
"Yangyangmuyu!" Mu Xiaoya turned around gracefully, took a bow and raised her head to the sky. She used her strong bow and arrow to fully charge the string.
Whoosh!
A ray of brilliant clouds and a long rainbow penetrated the sun. After a moment, countless red lights appeared in the sky, like stars in the daytime.
Before everyone could recover, the stars turned into a downpour, falling continuously. They were like fire, scattering on the surrounding pathogens, igniting raging fires in the blink of an eye, until they died...
"Aim collectively at the level 3 pathogen on the left. Even if we can't destroy it, we must prevent it from getting close...shoot!"
"Pathogens appear in the air behind us! The fifth and sixth teams attack!"
"The Third Battalion covers the friendly forces on the front line!"
Linda, Carl, and the dog-headed man ran all the way and commanded their men to focus their fire according to the battle situation.
They can use scepters inlaid with blue crystals to emit laser-like electromagnetic waves, which seem to contain some special program that can disintegrate pathogens.
However, the beam has little effect on pathogens above level 3, and tens of thousands of people gathering fire may not be able to eliminate them.
