"Due to some unexpected reasons, we alerted the shadow beast outside. Now the shadow beast is constantly attacking the entrance of our base. If you don't want your relatives and friends to die at the feet of this shadow beast, then from now on
From now on, everyone must be prepared for a battle with that shadow beast!"
Standing on the high platform, Akita Naomi's expression was cold, and the words she spoke made people feel chilly. For the survivors in this underground shelter, the word 'shadow beast' is almost a taboo existence.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, countless companions died at the feet of the shadow beasts. Now Akita Naomi actually plans to let these soldiers fight the ferocious shadow beasts head-on. It is almost like letting them die.
Following Akita Naomi's words, the soldiers below suddenly became a little restless, and the whispers became louder and louder, but she had no intention of stopping it. It could be seen from her increasingly cold eyes.
, the soldiers in front of them who showed timidity because of her words may not have any choice at all.
Lin Cheng and the others were standing behind the last row of soldiers at this time. Because there were too many people, Akita Naomi did not notice them, and in this case, no one would care about the sudden addition of three people in the hall.
, a moment later, as the whispers became smaller and smaller, Akita Naomi continued: "I know that the shadow beast is very powerful, it can even be said that it is so powerful that we humans cannot resist it, but the good news is
It has not breached the entrance to our base yet. As long as we can divert it away before it breaches the entrance, our mission will be complete, so..."
Having said this, Akita Naomi paused and turned sideways to let out the middle-aged soldier who had been standing behind her.
Walking out from behind Akita Naomi, the serious-looking middle-aged officer said in a deep voice: "So our next task is for Akita to lead you to leave the shelter through another special exit, and then appear from the rear and take the final step.
It may attract the attention of the shadow beast and draw it away! There may be some casualties in the process, but don't worry, no matter who is unfortunately killed in this battle, we will increase their family treatment by two levels
, and valid for life!”
As soon as the subsidy conditions for soldiers killed in battle were announced, the restless soldiers below immediately fell silent, leaving Lin Cheng and Bai Ling stunned.
"Um...can I ask, what is the treatment for family members who have been raised two levels?"
After thinking about it, Lin Cheng secretly patted the shoulder of the soldier standing in front of him and asked him in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, the soldier, who looked to be less than twenty years old, did not answer after hearing his question. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I am……"
Seeing that this young man was quite vigilant, Lin Cheng was just about to make up an identity and fool him when he heard Akita Naomi standing on the stage suddenly shouted: "Line up and get ready to go!"
After saying that, she walked down from the stage with her head held high and her chest high, and then led the soldiers who were already in formation to quickly walk towards a secret door that had just been opened on the left side of the hall.
"Shall we... follow?"
Looking at the team walking quickly towards the door, Lin Cheng touched his nose and asked Bai Ling.
Hearing this, Bai Ling thought for a moment and nodded: "I don't think anyone will notice us now. Their plan just now seems to be to return to the ground through a dedicated internal passage, and then attract the attention of the Zu Shadow Demon from behind.
Then we might as well follow them and leave here first, and what we do next depends on the situation."
"Then hurry up."
Seeing that Bai Ling also agreed to follow, Lin Cheng no longer wasted time and was the first to follow after waving. Bai Ling, Felton and Daisy Ayase Kawauna followed closely behind, and the five of them followed quickly behind the large army.
He walked into the secret passage, then turned a few twists and turns before appearing on the ground.
After returning to the ground, the first thing Lin Cheng did was to pick up the whistle hanging around his neck and blow it gently. After a while, with a "whistle" sound, Coke's figure immediately appeared in everyone's eyes.
At the same time, the large army led by Akita Naomi had already gone some distance, and it was estimated that they would meet the Ancestral Shadow Demon in a minute or two.
"I knew this guy was very clever. If I were to die, he would probably live fine."
Looking at the lively Coke running over, Lin Cheng smiled, touched its head and said to Bai Ling.
Hearing this, Bai Ling rolled his eyes at him angrily, "If you don't like it, let's wait until it's safe."
As she said that, she turned to Ayase Kawauna and Daisy and said, "You two will stay here, and Coke will stay here with you. Don't walk around casually. Just wait until we come back to join you."
Understand?"
"ah?"
Seeing that Bai Ling planned to let her become a 'left-behind child' again, Daisy's face suddenly fell, "But sister Bai Ling, I also want to help, and I also worked hard to complete the boss's training before, and it is completely different from before.
It’s the same!”
Hearing her words, Bai Ling sighed softly and patiently explained: "I understand what you mean, but believe me, the situation is different this time. You are likely to be in danger of life as in the past, and at the speed of Zu Shadow Demon
, once you are targeted by it, even Lin Cheng and I will have a hard time rushing to the rescue."
"Then...okay..."
Daisy believed that Bai Ling was not lying to her, and at this time she also realized that her request just now was a bit too much. In fact, Lin Cheng had many opportunities for her to find actual combat along the way. It was a pity that as a pure assistant
No matter how hard she trains, she cannot keep up with the growth rate of a combat-type ability user like Bai Ling, so she sometimes wonders if she has the opportunity to participate in a battle of sufficient importance.
How to rapidly improve your combat experience?
It's a pity that so far, it seems that she has no chance to participate in a truly important battle. Maybe her chance will really appear when the team encounters an unprecedented crisis one day, but she doesn't want this kind of 'opportunity' to appear.
Never want to.
Compared to Daisy, who looked frustrated after losing another opportunity to gain experience, Coke, who had to act as a 'nanny' again within two minutes of gathering with the army, was much calmer, and Tiantian, who was full of thoughts about fighting, was able to help.
Compared with Daisy, all Coca-Cola could think about all day long was how to be lazy and not be punished by Lin Cheng. After all, as the 'veteran' of this team, its enthusiasm for fighting has been almost exhausted.
Unless it was requested by Lin Cheng, all he wanted to do was lie down in his own comfortable kennel and sleep. Even though being a nanny was not as comfortable as sleeping, it was still better than going to the front line and working his ass off.
