The octopus monster twisted its tentacles and slammed towards the two of them.
Li Qing unsheathed his silver blade and chopped the blocking tentacle into several pieces, without affecting his speed at all.
Lin Zuzu knew that she was not strong enough, so she did not choose to fight head-on. She cleverly targeted the gap between the tentacles and the ground, slid across, then stood up neatly, and rushed in front of the octopus in the blink of an eye. Lin Zuzu accelerated his fighting spirit and slashed diagonally with his long sword.
She took action and slashed at the base of the octopus's leg, but unfortunately she couldn't cut it off with one stroke. She sideways dodged the splattered blood and kept attacking with her hands.
The pain of the octopus triggered its biological instinct. It sprayed a ball of ink with a fatal threat at the girl, and it was about to cover the girl. The next second, Li Qing's guardian blade had arrived, and his sword force
With a strong fighting spirit, he swung away all the ink and changed the direction of falling. The ink poured on the ground, making a sizzling sound.
Lin Zuzu didn't care at all about the consequences of being stained with ink. She jumped up high, stabbed the knife into the octopus, and used gravity to cut open the monster's flesh.
Lin Zuzu's focus was entirely on attack. This fighting mode that almost completely abandoned defense was based on her amazing recovery ability. Coincidentally, Li Qing's sword skills just complemented hers and blocked the missed attacks for her.
.
Of course Li Qing can use all his firepower to quickly resolve the battle, but he wants the girl to accumulate more combat experience. The situation in the future will be more severe, and opportunities to practice like this are rare.
Because... Li Qing's eyes sparkled with a different look.
He wished his companion could stand longer.
Yi Tingxie had already solved his own battle. As soon as the unknown disgusting monster showed its head, it was deprived of all its life by a thrust from another "monster". Not only that, he took advantage of the space crack before it was completely closed.
When the time came, he swept it back.
The cracks were closed and restored to their original state, and everything was clean, saving the cleaning team the effort of cleaning up. After all, the barrier could only restore the loss of inorganic matter, but could not make the excess organic matter disappear.
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he approached the two fighting men as if taking a walk. The pair, who had only worked together a few times, seemed to have an extremely tacit understanding at the moment.
Somehow, Yi Tingxie felt some unfamiliar emotions rising in her heart.
But before he could distinguish it, he saw the young man and the girl slashing from both sides, cutting the monster into pieces of spoiled octopus.
Lin Zuzu gasped slightly and tried to shake off the blood on the knife, but found that the poisonous mucus had corroded the blade. Her fighting spirit could not stick to the knife stably for a long time, and there would only be a small burst when she launched an attack.
It's time to get a new knife. She thought, still holding the handle of the knife tightly.
"Your style of play..." Yi Tingxie said abruptly, hesitatingly not finishing his words.
The girl looked back at the man, somewhat puzzled.
"This is a fighting method that only you can use, which means this is your trump card."
Lin Zuzu lowered his head and thought about his words.
Although she has incredible recovery ability, she is still very weak. Once she encounters a situation where she cannot defeat her, her ability should be used as a glimmer of hope to save her life, rather than as capital to be squandered.
"I understand, Master." Lin Zuzu nodded.
However, this monster is too weak.
It's not that she's too generous. Without Li Qing's help, she wouldn't be able to win without injury, but it just takes a little time. Besides, without her teammates around, she won't be so mindless.
Yi Tingxie reported the mission status on the intranet and discovered that they were not the first team to end the battle with monsters.
In area 7, as soon as the monster appeared, Zhao Zhicheng and his team members used heavy machine guns without any hesitation to blast the monster that looked like a bull into smithereens.
Team 10, under Zheng Mu's ghostly movement technique, there was no obvious wound on the corpse of the giant snake that fell to the ground.
Not to mention Area 1, Yan Zhe didn't even take action. The well-trained ancient warriors quickly cut the giant spider into pieces under the cover of fire. It is very likely that they only regarded this as an exercise.
At this time, other teams also reported the situation one after another.
- The threat in Area 3 has been eliminated, and the visual inspection of monsters is C-level.
- The threat in Area 12 has been eliminated. Thanks to Team 1 for their support.
…
After confirming that no new spatial cracks were created, Yi Tingxie informed the aftermath team that the barrier could be lifted and the battlefield cleaned.
The aftermath team is wrapped in black overalls, wearing black caps and masks, with only a pair of eyes exposed. They are basically ordinary people who cannot fight or resist the poisons or superpowers of aliens, so they need to be extremely careful
careful.
They used a special device to recover the runestones, stored them carefully, and then returned them to "Cocoon". When they saw the remains of the octopus, the huge pieces of flesh made them sigh deeply.
Lin Zuzu put away the sticky long knife and leaned against the tree beside the street, lost in thought.
It shouldn't be, the organization makes such a big noise just to give the action team a try? It's not very harmful, it's insulting... This, they don't care that much, after all, it's good if they can face the organization without getting hurt.
What is their real purpose?
An uneasiness lingered in Lin Zuzu's heart.
"Master, have all teams uploaded their reports?"
"Let me take a look." Yi Tingxie took out his phone again and glanced at the corresponding information line by line.
Although Area 14 is posted by a team of elite members, the total number is 16.
This guy is really lying flat, and he is so thick-skinned that he can let others do the task without any worries. Yi Tingxie thought, seeming to have forgotten what Team 11 was like before.
If Zheng Mu heard this, even if he was different in rank, he would probably have to have a good encounter with this ungrateful "bitch".
"Everything has been reported. It seems that no team has been attacked." Yi Tingxie knew that the little girl's brain was spinning at high speed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, the 17th message was received on the intranet system - it was from the crane tail captain of Team 14 whom he complained about. Strangely, the message was not an ordinary text briefing.
Chanda (Team 14): "A video"
Now even Yi Tingxie felt something was wrong. Lin Zuzu saw this and went over to find out. After all, only the captain, deputy captain and temporarily authorized team members could use this interface.
When they clicked on the video, their expressions changed.
Yi Tingxie subconsciously looked at the girl and found that although her face was pale, she was still calm, so she did not choose to pause the video.
"Captain, what are you looking at?" Li Qing asked curiously.
"Something happened in the 14th team branch." Yi Tingxie motioned to the Li siblings to come over and watch together.
The blood-stained room in the video was clearly Chanda's office. They didn't know what kind of injuries or how many people would have to die to reach this amount of bleeding. But soon, they got the answer.
Chanda's pale head was placed in front of the open computer. There were two bloody holes in the eye sockets. It could be seen from the wound on the neck that it had been torn off by force. The limbs seemed to have been torn off the body and thrown aside casually.
But it’s not really clear due to the camera shooting.
A pair of his eyeballs were gouged out and glued to a 27-inch triple screen used for playing games. Evidence of his dereliction of duty, corruption and bribery were played on the screen.
It was as if he was being asked to take a closer look at his sins.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the video. Although the owner of the voice was not in the frame, Lin Zuzu recognized that it was Huang Mao who had kidnapped her.
"Hahahaha~ This is really wonderful. Uncle He, do you like the gift we gave you?"
Upon hearing this name, the girl who had always been calm suddenly became unsteady and took a step back to stabilize her body.
At this time, a middle-aged man said: "Well, it's not bad."
