After hearing this, everyone stopped and tacitly walked a few steps to the side and entered an alley to escape the cold wind.
"It's already early in the morning, and the weather seems to have stayed the same, right?" A person asked.
The others said nothing, all with gloomy faces.
Because the "reporting time" was stipulated, they had a clearer sense of time, and therefore, they discovered this anomaly very early, but after all, in the projection, this was not something worth worrying about.
There are other reasons for the silence in the team.
…
In the alley, Durward opened the wizard's robe and took out the communication box with his hands that were slightly stiff from the cold.
But he did not immediately enter the barcode representing himself, but stared at the snow under his feet and the cold wind whistling outside the alley with his gray-blue eyes.
"call……"
He took a deep breath, his nose twitched, and began to type in his numbers one by one.
The communication box has a certain protection mechanism, so until he typed in the correct "password", the circular screen lit up, showing sparse labels.
At the same time, there are also large gray marks on it, many of which have been marked in red, which means that the member they represent has failed to report twice in a row and has not responded to calls from other members.
In this case, it can basically be determined that the owner of the number is dead.
"Eight more died."
Derward heard the tall knight beside him say in a heavy voice.
At this moment, the knight's face was no longer ridiculing or gloating.
In the past few hours, the number of "lost" members of eup has continued to soar.
At first, there were only three or two missing, which did not attract their attention too much. Firstly, the death of the other party was not confirmed, and secondly... even the fifth grade cannot guarantee safety. Those ubiquitous mechanical monsters, and
The Xiaguo Trisi who may encounter them, or the strong ones among the "miscellaneous fish", can definitely cause fatal harm to them.
However, as the number of "lost contact" people continued to increase over the next few calls, they finally realized something was wrong.
"Too many people died...too quickly..."
"Even if we bump into Tris, it stands to reason that there won't be so many deaths... Especially in such a large area, it is difficult to meet each other."
This strange incident immediately aroused the vigilance of everyone in eup. However, no matter how tightly they frowned, the number of missing people kept rising.
Every "call-in" seemed to be a trial. When Derward saw the names that were getting darker and darker, his heart became higher and higher, and the atmosphere in the entire team became more and more depressing.
They no longer had any intention of talking or laughing, they just felt as if there was a pair of prying eyes hidden in this city, which could reach out with sharp claws at any time and wipe out their lives from the earth.
This kind of pressure is suffocating and nerve-wracking, seriously affecting their exploration efficiency.
"We can't go on like this, we have to find a way."
The tall knight next to Derward suddenly clenched his fist and hammered the green bricks in the alley, and the cold bricks immediately cracked the cracks in the avenue.
"What do you want?"
"Meet! Please join! Only with more people can we withstand the risk!"
"Haha, have you finally admitted that you are a coward?"
"...Yes! I admit it, are you satisfied? Anyway, I don't want to disappear like this! So many people have disappeared without a trace, and I am not arrogant enough to think that I can be better than them!"
There were constant quarrels, and each other was venting their anxiety. Derward was holding his staff tiredly, almost smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air. After all, just when he almost couldn't bear it anymore and was about to get involved, the team remained silent.
A loud voice suddenly interrupted everyone: "Stop arguing! Do you feel something is wrong?"
Something's wrong?
Both sides of the argument were stunned at the same time. They immediately suppressed their anger and calmly sensed their surroundings. Then, they found that the surroundings had become extremely silent, and the cries of crows filled with despair echoed in the cold city.
Durward raised his head and saw a huge crow circling above them.
This made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable, as if he was surrounded by murderous intent.
"Listen!"
Suddenly, the knight beside him screamed, and immediately, Derward heard the originally silent city suddenly become noisy.
"Shashasha..."
A faint sound appeared.
Even such a heavy snowstorm cannot cover it.
The moment they heard this voice, the demeanor of several people present changed at the same time.
Walking all the way here, they have become very familiar with the sound. It is clearly the friction and knocking sound made by the mechanical monster crawling on the ruins. However, the sound ringing in their ears at this moment is different from what they have encountered before.
Countless times bigger.
The sound was getting louder and louder, which made people extremely upset.
Everyone immediately formed a defensive array and looked around. Then, countless pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the dim sky.
Densely packed...Densely packed...
Emerging from every corner of the city, they cast cold, emotionless glances.
De Ward and others' hands and feet immediately became cold, and their hearts were horrified.
Why?
Why do so many mechanical beings suddenly appear here?
This is very different from what I have seen before!
"Breakout! Breakout immediately!"
The tall knight shouted loudly.
Most of these soldiers are not very powerful, but there are also many Level 5 soldiers hidden among them. Moreover, there are so many of them that if they are entangled, there is no way a few of them will survive.
"Buzz..."
De Ward decisively thrust the staff into the ground at the entrance of the alley. Immediately, a brilliant light exploded, and the earthy yellow elements condensed. A high wall was quickly built and connected to both sides, sealing the passage.
Another knight raised his sword and slashed to the side.
"Boom..."
A gap opened in the bluestone wall, and several people filed in.
At the same time, the cry of crows sounded in the sky again, and the soldiers densely packed in the streets and alleys immediately started to attack and kill several people from all directions.
"Crack!"
The tall knight slashed with sword light and knocked away a flying mechanical beast, but more came swarming towards it.
Durward suddenly raised his staff and poured spiritual energy into his body. Amidst the loud noise, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and snow foam flew. A tall earth elemental giant emerged from the ground, but he did not attack, but just lay down.
Protect everyone under you and use your elemental body to resist the attack of the mechanical soldiers.
"Hurry! I can't last long!"
Derward shouted anxiously.
Another wizard nodded, suddenly gritted his teeth, spit out a mouthful of blood, and infected a gem in his hand. The gem immediately released terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations, almost frantically extracting the surrounding spiritual energy, and continued to expand, as if it would happen in the next moment.
It exploded and sent everyone into eternal destruction.
"open!"
About ten seconds later, he yelled. Derward, who was pale and had purple lips, took a few steps back when he heard the sound. The elemental giant Red Man collapsed. At the same time, a red light rose up, like a fire pouring into the sky, toward
It spit out, burned, and burned again, melting the bodies of those soldiers into a pool of molten iron!
The fire was brilliant, like a blooming red rose, lighting up half of the sky.
"Walk!"
The tall knight grabbed the weak wizard and took the opportunity to rush towards a gap.
However, just as they broke out of the encirclement of the mechanical soldiers, their footsteps suddenly stopped!
"Come when you want, leave when you want, did you ask me?"
Cheng Lin was wearing a black windbreaker, with a blurred face and a thin figure, standing in the wind and snow, whispering softly.
Unfortunately, the wind and snow were too heavy, so no one could hear clearly.
The eup people don’t want to hear it clearly either.
At this moment, although they didn't know who the person in front of them was, they had no time to think about it. The soldiers behind them were like a tide, extinguishing the flames with their bodies and chasing them.
"cut!"
The tall knight's armor resounded all over his body, and a majestic murderous aura rose into the sky. The giant sword in his hand buzzed and was coated with silver light. He moved forward and made a sprint, just like a real cavalry on the battlefield.
The next second, the lines on the psychic armor lit up instantly, and the super power boosted its speed to a terrifying level.
Just in the blink of an eye!
The tall knight had already swung his sword and rushed in front of Cheng Lin.
The heavy sword slashed down, triggering a surge of spiritual energy. The weight of this sword was something Cheng Lin had never seen before.
His eyes brightened slightly, and he did not choose to dodge. Instead, he spread his legs and stabilized his body. He raised his right hand, grasped a dark sword body and faced it. At the same time, the Unbreakable Golden Body opened!
"Click!!!"
The violent impact caused chaos in the aura, and snow avalanched within a hundred meters around it, blocking people's vision.
After a few seconds, the dust settled.
A severed section of the heavy sword fell through the air with a swish, and pierced into the front of Deward with a "click" sound, and the broken end trembled slightly!
