Chapter 1563 No way to escape, fight with each other!
It's evening.
The Wolf Fang team left wisely and did not ask to share a camp.
This is very common in the eastern wilderness where there are no rules. After all, each team has its own secrets and considerations, and too much intersection often means more risks.
No one knows when night falls, whether a friendly friend a second ago will change his face in an instant and draw a sword against him for a little resource.
You can't even be sure of the opponent's identity. If you have taken refuge with a foreign race and become a traitor, camping near the opponent will be like a sheep in the tiger's mouth, and you will die without knowing how.
The bonfire was lit, and the members of the fire suppression team sat around, eating dry food in silence.
The atmosphere was solemn, and occasionally someone whispered a few words, thinking about the next trip.
"Captain, something seems wrong. How about we go back?"
Torres frowned and broke the brief silence, with a bit of irritation and uneasiness in his voice.
"What do these aliens want to do? They can't drive us all together just for fun, right?"
Zhao Lei did not, his expression was solemn, as if he was considering whether to give up the mission.
Although the fire suppression team only encountered one attack, no one knew what the aliens were planning. If they fell into a trap and wanted to leave, it might not be that simple.
"Merrick, what do you think?"
"I don't know, what if it's just the Wolf Fang team being driven away by aliens?"
nonsense.
Zhao Lei looked at He Qin speechlessly, "What about you?"
"Go back, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood. This time it's really a bit weird."
Return ticket +1.
Counting Torres and Sanchez, three of the eight people wanted to escape.
"We've come this far, and now we're just going back. We won't do A-level missions in the future?"
Neil voted forward with some dissatisfaction. The journey was uneventful, much smoother than the previous missions of the fire suppression team. They only encountered one alien attack.
Moreover, in the past, other teams were beaten to pieces, but some teams were lucky enough not to encounter aliens even once?
Zhao Lei paused and then looked at Gao Ruoyun, who simply voted forward.
Her team had failed in the Baiduan Mountains before, which was far more dangerous than this time.
We don't even see any specific danger right now, so there is no reason to retreat now.
Vice-captain Merrick abstained, and the score became three to two.
Zhao Lei thought for a while, as the most experienced mercenary in the team, he really shouldn't be so retreating right now.
Being a mercenary is a job where your head is tied to your belt, so there is no reason to be so timid.
Three to three.
The decision-making power passed back and forth, and finally it fell on Somo.
"Qin Yuan, what about you, do you think we should go back now or move on to complete the mission?"
Zhao Lei's eyes were full of expectation and anxiety, and he looked straight at Su Mo, and everyone's eyes also focused on him.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp seemed to have solidified. Only the campfire was still burning cracklingly, and sparks popped out from time to time, as if waiting for Somo's answer.
"Well..."
Sumo pondered for a moment, "Captain, this matter is easy to say. If the alien race is really as Captain Xu suspected, they are deliberately driving us here and intending to keep everyone together, then what we want now
If you retreat, I’m afraid it will be impossible.”
Zhao Lei was shocked and instinctively asked quickly: "How do you say this?"
Sumo glanced at everyone and explained with a calm expression: "If you think about it carefully, the aliens always have a clear purpose in their actions. If they want to force us to give up the mission and return to the level, there is no need to use such troublesome means. Right now.
, in my opinion, there are actually only two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that the teams we met before may have activities that are important to the alien race in their respective mission areas, so the alien race has put those areas under martial law. During the execution of the mission, the patrol team
Then I drove all the teams here."
"If this is the case, not only will we not need to escape, but we will be able to complete the task more conveniently while the alien race's attention is distracted."
Neil and Gao Ruoyun couldn't help but nod, they thought so too.
Since the alien race has put all its troops on those routes, doesn't it mean that the route where the fire suppression team is located is empty of troops?
"What about the second one?"
"The second one is a bit tricky. If they deliberately drove people to this route and carefully planned and laid out, they would definitely not give us the possibility of escaping. The aliens will definitely come back when we return.
There are heavy troops on the route, and if we step into the trap, we will immediately be under siege."
After saying that, Su Mo paused and said, "It's easy to verify. We just need to try to walk a little further tomorrow. If we don't encounter a foreign race, it means the first possibility is high. If
meet..."
"Okay, just give it a try as Qin Yuan said!"
Zhao Lei made the decision on the spot.
He felt like a mirror in his mind. The forward votes and backward votes in the team were almost even at the moment. If one of them was chosen hastily at this time, those players who supported the other option would definitely murmur in their hearts and breed dissatisfaction.
If we encounter danger in the future, the team may be dispersed in a few seconds.
But if we follow Soma's suggestion, the situation will be completely different.
If the first possibility comes up, everyone will carry out the task resolutely without worrying about encountering additional dangers.
If it's the second kind...
Then we really can only take one step and see one step at a time.
Although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, they all nodded in agreement.
The night became darker and darker, and the camp gradually became quiet, with only the occasional "cracking" sound of the campfire and the slight footsteps of the guards on duty.
Everyone was lying in the tent, but they could not sleep. Soma's words and the unknown road ahead kept appearing in their minds, making them feel uneasy.
But this night, Sumo had a good sleep for the first time in a long time.
Until the sky lit up, Zhao Lei didn't ask him to get up for duty, so he just sat there and stayed up all night.
According to the plan made yesterday, after having breakfast and packing their bags, the team returned the same way.
Everyone had a dignified and vigilant look on their faces, weapons tightly held in their hands, and their eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time.
At first, the journey was peaceful and nothing unusual happened.
But just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, fierce firefights and explosions suddenly came from ahead.
Everyone looked around and saw a group of flying aliens approaching quickly from the sky like dark clouds. They were huge, their wings were flapping and they were whipping up gusts of wind, and they were spraying green wind blades from their mouths.
The two mercenary teams on the opposite side could only fight while running, and they were in an extremely embarrassed state.
"Turn around quickly, don't be targeted by them."
Zhao Lei was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly shouted to turn around. The all-terrain vehicle drifted and roared towards the opposite side of the flying alien race.
However, soon, before they had gone thirty kilometers, they encountered another alien patrol team.
It's dozens of rat monsters holding dwarf energy knives.
Seeing the car approaching, the rat monster bared its teeth and was about to rush towards it, but He Qin braked in time and turned around, and was able to escape the rat monster's pursuit by relying on speed.
"Damn it, Qin Yuan really got it right!" Torres' face turned pale, his body stuck outside the car and he was shooting and cursing.
The ferocious rat monster looked terrifying, but it only chased it for a kilometer or two before stopping immediately. It could be seen that it was just not letting the convoy leave this range.
"What should we do now? These aliens have surrounded us."
Sanchez retracted his body, his lips were bloodless, and the gun in his hand was somewhat unsteady.
Being cut off by aliens means that even if they complete the A-level mission, they may not be able to return alive.
Moreover, the alien race has driven everyone to this route, who knows what plans they are preparing.
"Don't panic, everyone, let's go back to where we camped yesterday!"
At this moment, Zhao Lei could only play his role as captain and forcibly stabilize the morale of the army.
When we return to the camping site, the surrounding environment will be a little safer.
Not only did other people turn their attention to Su Mo, but even Zhao Lei also looked at him asking for help.
"Brother Qin, it seems that the second possibility you mentioned is true. What do you think we should do now?"
The doctor found in the team suddenly became a think tank.
No one thought this huge change was abrupt, but they all thought it was very reasonable.
"As for us now...actually we haven't been affected too much. On the contrary, it has helped us."
"Um?"
"Since the alien race won't let us leave and keeps driving surrounding teams here, we might as well take advantage of this gap and speed up to complete the task first. Once we find an opportunity to escape, we can break out immediately."
Sumo smiled naturally.
After verifying his conjecture last night, the strange movements of the alien race suddenly gave him a bold idea.
Because the level of the Abyss City Beast is too strong, it has reached the demigod level restricted by this world.
As a result, I have been restricted by the game for a long time and cannot directly participate in the main battlefield between humans and aliens to prevent the balance from being disrupted.
The last time he obtained 30% of the authority, Sumo used it as a back-up, allowing Connie to rewrite the dead warriors trained inside at any time and deliver a fatal blow to the alien race at the critical moment.
Unexpectedly, the foreign race had no intention of using the city beast on the battlefield, but only used it as a tool to cultivate dead soldiers, leaving it alone in the Baiduan Mountains, leaving it to fend for itself.
Now, since the aliens have tried their best to drive the mercenary team towards the Baiduan Mountains, does that mean that he can use the powerful abilities of the city beasts to catch these aliens off guard?
"If these aliens really have any special plan to directly rewrite the beliefs of the tens of millions of dead soldiers who came out of the city beast, it would be a great scene..."
On this trip to the Baiduan Mountains, Soma's main purpose was to completely occupy the remaining authority of the city beast.
It would be great if we could take the opportunity to give the alien race another hard blow. We could directly disperse the alien race's effective forces to ensure that there would be no more accidents during the second gambling battle.
"You're right. If we can complete the task as soon as possible, we can fully focus on escaping."
Zhao Lei fell into deep thought, and after a while, he still agreed with Sumo's proposal.
Opportunities are accompanied by risks, and risks may also bring opportunities at any time.
If the fire suppression team can complete their mission, everyone will be united as never before in joining forces to escape.
On the contrary, if there is no common interest, everyone will only care about themselves and not care about the life and death of others.
At the same time, Zhao Lei also believes, "Since the aliens are so arrogant in driving away mercenaries on the front line, our rear checkpoints will definitely be aware of it, and maybe send a response team?"
"The captain is right. We should complete our mission first. If we rush to escape now, we will only become the first target of the alien race."
Merrick echoed, but his thoughts were much darker.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.
"Even if it comes time for us to break through, it will be easier for dozens of mercenaries to rush out together than for our fire suppression team to break through the alien defense line alone."
"Okay, I agree, let's finish this task first."
"We're afraid that he's a foreigner with a hammer. At worst, we'll have to dig a hole in the mountain. Save it. It's not easy to support him for a year with the supplies in the storage space."
"That's right. A year later, Su Shen won the second gambling battle and the alien race was completely defeated. Does he still have the heart to pay attention to us?"
"Do it! Let's leave now and try to catch up with the progress of the teams in front!"
The morale within the team was mobilized, and even the two tough men who wanted to escape were also enthusiastic.
"Okay, let's set off now and try to make up for the rest of the journey in the first two days today."
...
Eastern Front Level.
As Zhao Lei had guessed, the large-scale mobilization of personnel by the alien race indeed attracted the attention of the commanders.
At first, only sporadic mercenary teams were driven away, and they were still within the normal range of movements.
But two or three days later, hundreds of mercenary teams were driven by the aliens on a route, and Zero immediately sent an early warning message to every commander's terminal.
However, considering the confidentiality of Sumo's trip, they did not explain to these people that Sumo was also in the mercenary team.
Even Su Deben had no idea about this.
"Since the aliens are so blatantly besieging our mercenary team, why don't we also send out a group of new recruits to practice with these guys?"
"I think it will work. There is no big battle to be fought recently. If the alien wants to show off, we will accompany him to show off."
"How many people should we send there? Fifty thousand people, isn't it a bit too much?"
"If there are too many people, it may turn into a big war. The second gambling battle is about to begin. It's better for us to keep a low profile."
"That's 30,000 people. If it's any less than that, if the aliens increase their troops, we may not have enough manpower to support them."
"Thirty thousand people are not safe. It is best to have two heavy armored corps to support the rear."
In the conference room, all the commanders were discussing.
Regarding the arrogant behavior of the aliens, everyone quickly reached a consensus that they must severely combat the opponent's arrogance, and these aliens must not be allowed to carry out unscrupulous tactical actions.
Furthermore, the mercenaries are also fighting for humanity, so there is no reason not to support them.
"Let's divide it into twenty legions. Each legion has 2,000 men, 1,500 recruits and 500 veterans."
"Ten legions form a group and take turns to train."
After summarizing the opinions of the commanders, Commander-in-Chief Sudeben quickly made up his mind.
The information is transmitted to terminal zero.
The artificial intelligence ran for a while, but in the end it gave no unnecessary suggestions.
After all, judging from his perspective, considering the challenges Sumo had encountered before, this situation is just like an outing, without any threat at all!
At the same time, if Sumo wants to leave, he can use the game's teleportation to leave at any time. It is completely impossible for aliens to surround and kill him in such a stupid way!
