Chapter 11 Optional Tasks
The killing after entering the bloody city is fundamentally different from the killing before entering the bloody city.
The former is a forced behavior, which is largely involuntary. Many people are psychologically disgusted and fearful of death.
The latter is an active behavior that ignores all laws and consequences, and is ready to face sacrifice and death. No matter whether they are righteous or evil, after coming to the bloody city, they first occupy a great psychological advantage.
Therefore, when Hong Lang said that Shen Yi had already killed people like hemp before entering the bloody city, it meant that this was a person who had truly experienced bloody storms, unlike them who were forced to enter the city to experience life and death trials. Many people have not adjusted psychologically.
Of course, after entering the difficult area, the situation will change. But in this low-difficulty area, facing Shen Yi's experience, few people can not be shocked.
A group of people rushed along the grove towards the Arnhem Bridge, occasionally there were some German devils on the road, but they were all easily dealt with.
After two battles in the small town of Arnhem and the small riverside, the difficulty of the main mission has been basically completed. Shen Yi's approach can be said to avoid weakening the danger to the greatest extent, so that he has hardly encountered too many difficulties so far.
Not far from the Arnhem Bridge, the flames were soaring into the sky. It was the paratroopers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion who were desperately snatching the bridge. stop here.
Rourou was the first to stop and observe the battlefield with binoculars, and finally affirmed: "The road ahead is basically clear, and there are no enemies left. The Germans are mainly concentrated in the southern section of the bridge, and they are fighting with the 2nd Airborne Battalion. The German soldiers surrounding the town The town has been fully occupied. If we take a detour, those adventurers who broke out to the south will be out of luck. They will be fully flanked by the Germans. But the good news is that these Germans will basically not return to Afghanistan once they are attracted by those adventurers. Instead, go directly to the jungle to deal with the main force of the 1st Airborne Division."
Hong Lang asked: "That is to say, if our main task has reached this step, we only need to walk a few steps forward, and we can successfully complete it?"
Wen Rou nodded with certainty: "That's what I mean."
Hong Lang punched with one hand and said excitedly, "It's so fucking cool! It's the first time I completed the task so easily."
King Kong also laughed and said: "If Shen Yi hadn't reminded everyone to gather together and then find a small path to detour, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to complete this task."
Hong Lang rolled his eyes: "I won't thank him for the bloody points. This kid didn't shoot at all, and just talked about it."
Rou Rou also smiled: "That's the way everyone in charge." Saying that, she looked at Shen Yi: "The murderer's head."
With a pun, Shen Yi pretended not to hear it: "In this case, let's go to meet up with the 2nd Airborne Battalion first. By the way, ask how many people are willing to stay and continue to complete optional missions."
To everyone's surprise, there are quite a few adventurers who are willing to stay for optional missions this time.
This is mainly due to the scene adventure, in addition to the heavy casualties at the beginning of the landing, after the assembly, none of the 22 adventurers died, and the final main task was easily completed. Perhaps because they felt the strength of the team, many people began to swell in confidence, so their courage also increased.
In addition, the optional mission this time rewards up to 4,000 blood points and 1 skill point, which is also an important factor that attracts everyone to take risks.
Skill points are used to increase skill proficiency. Every time an active skill is used, the proficiency will increase by 1 point. Passive skills can only be improved by skill points. Variation skills can only be improved through proficiency.
The upgrade of skills depends on proficiency, and the higher the proficiency requirements are required to upgrade later. At the beginning, to upgrade skills, only 400 proficiency points are needed, and then 800 points are required for further upgrades, and then 1400 points, and the proficiency requirements are always getting higher and higher. And 1 skill point,
It can directly increase proficiency by 1000 points. This is a very precious reward for some special skills that are quite difficult to practice, especially at the cost of consuming a lot of mental power.
Shen Yi's despicable medical skills and mental detection are both at level 2, and this is the result of a month of uninterrupted use and training. Mental Power Exploration requires 3 points of Spirit, and Despicable Healing requires 2 points of Spirit. To increase the proficiency of each of the two skills by 1 point will consume 5 points of Spirit. With Shen Yi's current mental power, he can only use it 6 times in total. It takes 5 hours to recover. Without sleep, he can only increase his proficiency by 20 points per day. It took a month to raise the proficiency to level 2 and 200 proficiency points. If you want to upgrade again, you can only wait another month. During that time, in order to practice these two skills, he even developed the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to release his skills.
With skill points, Shen Yi's skills can be greatly improved.
There are definitely not a few people like Shen Yi who urgently need skill points, so after some discussion, 21 of the 22 adventurers finally decided to stay, and only one decided to leave.
Surprisingly, the timid fat man also asked to stay.
Shen Yi asked him why he didn't choose to leave, and this guy actually replied, following behind you, maybe it will be more bloody, so that you will be eligible to lose a few more games in the future. Feelings, he is determined to mix some bloody points to prepare for the failure of future missions.
Rou Rou disdainfully said: "I really don't understand how you guys passed the newcomer mission back then."
Hong Lang laughed and said that the novice task was not a task level that many newcomers completed together. The fat man probably had a good luck. He met a few newcomers with better quality and took him into the city. Otherwise, just like him, he would have to fail the first level.
The fat man nodded repeatedly and said yes, he had no other skills, he was so thick-skinned, he didn't mind Hong Lang's words at all.
Shen Yi was a little confused.
Is that true?
Competent people usually have a common psychology, that is, don't be angry at their incompetence, but be angry at their inability to fight.
It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, but you have to work hard.
People like Fatty are typical incompetent and indisputable types, Shen Yi couldn't figure out what kind of newcomer would be willing to accept such a burden.
But when it comes to other people's privacy, he doesn't want to think too much, just smiled and said: "It's rare that he has lived to this day."
"That's because he was lucky." Hong Lang was a little unconvinced.
"Luck is also a kind of ability." Shen Yi immediately said, and then shrugged: "But it's unreliable. You can only enjoy the surprise of pie in the sky when you are unprepared, but it cannot be the last reliance when you are desperate."
Everyone laughed, it made a lot of sense.
Anyway, even if Fatty made it clear that he wanted to mess around, no one would push him away. This is obviously a teamwork task, no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat, and it is good to have an extra gun.
Since the 21 people chose to stay and carry out the task, everyone rearranged their respective responsibilities again. At this time, Shen Yi has implicitly become the leader of everyone.
After walking tens of meters, the bloody coat of arms really showed a prompt: the main task is completed, and now you can choose to return or complete the optional task.
Complete the first step of the optional mission: Rendezvous with 2nd Airborne Battalion and Lieutenant Colonel Frost.
—————————————
Arnhem originally had two bridges, and the task of the 2nd Airborne Battalion was to capture and keep at least one of them. But in the process of capturing the bridge, the Germans had already blown up one first.
This forced the 2nd Airborne Battalion to seize another road bridge immediately, but as a result, they lost the opportunity for a surprise attack and were forced to fight head-on.
Lieutenant Colonel Frost, commander of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, was fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the northern section of the bridge.
Opposite him, a large number of German soldiers hit the 2nd Airborne Battalion so violently that they couldn't lift their heads. Although the airborne troops are composed of the most elite fighters, they are unable to carry heavy weapons and lack strong firepower to suppress them, so they are at an inherent disadvantage in positional confrontation.
Generally speaking, airborne troops are more suitable for raids behind enemy lines, rather than such large-scale airborne and frontal operations.
Especially in an area heavily surrounded by the enemy, Montgomery wanted to create a miracle, but in the end he pulled out all the best soldiers of the Allied Army to die. This can be said to be the biggest failure of this legendary commander in his life.
"Emergency call, emergency call, this is the 2nd Airborne Battalion, I am Battalion Commander Frost, we have controlled the northern section of the Arnhem Bridge, but the Germans have deployed heavy troops here, and their firepower is too fierce. I need backup, I need backup!" Lieutenant Colonel Frost yelled into the microphone.
Above his head was the shells of the German soldiers pouring over like rain, hitting the position with a bang, smashing a big hole in the ground. A large number of German soldiers crazily poured bullets here, the sky was filled with flames, and the shuttle bullets were like rainbows, taking away fresh lives from time to time.
"Ah!" an airborne soldier shouted loudly, and a shell exploded not far from him, blowing off one of his legs.
But he could still move, clutching his injured leg and screaming non-stop.
The situation is changing rapidly. The 2nd Airborne Battalion, which was still on the offensive just now, is now in a stalemate with the Germans. It is estimated that the Germans will counterattack in a big way before long, and then the 2nd Airborne Battalion will be completely wiped out. On this bridge.
"I need bomber support!" Frost was still yelling, and he was going crazy with anxiety. Nearly one-third of his soldiers were killed or wounded in a few hours of fighting. The German soldiers spared no effort to attack the paratroopers who robbed the bridge.
In order to help the paratroopers complete the task of snatching the bridge, the Allied air force dispatched again. Unfortunately, the German anti-aircraft artillery fire was too fierce, and many air force planes could not even reach the area around Arnhem and were shot down. The few planes that made it to the Arnhem Bridge and then hastily returned after hastily dropping a few bombs did not help the situation at all.
There are still a few planes flying around in the sky today, but they are all Germans. Their artillery shells are flying around in the position of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, and they cooperate with the 150mm caliber artillery to kill the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion.
A distant answer came from the microphone: "Lieutenant Colonel Frost, it is a pity that we cannot give you more help in this situation. We need your heroic operations to take the bridge, hold the bridge, and wait for the army to Arrival of ground troops."
"I need fire support, I need tanks, I need cannons, but I don't need orders! You bastard, hurry up and inform your boss, if this continues, we will all die on the battlefield in less than a day!"
"I will tell you what you need, but I remind you, Lieutenant Colonel Frost, don't expect too much from it. From the moment you receive the mission, you should be prepared to fight in a difficult environment Prepare."
"Yes, it is to fight in a difficult environment, not to die in a difficult environment!"
The microphone was silent for a while, and then a sentence was sent: "May God bless you."
Call dropped.
"Bastard!" Frost yelled, jumping on his feet.
"Frost, where is our main force?" Major Ralph, the deputy battalion commander, yelled at his superior.
Frost said helplessly: "They didn't land in this area, but were trapped in the woods south of the town of Shavis. I don't think we can wait for reinforcements, and the Allies can't give us more air space." support."
"SHIT!" Ralph yelled angrily, "So we can only fight alone?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Oh, God!"
God really had a miracle, and as the words fell, a soldier ran quickly and shouted: "Lieutenant Colonel, a small group of troops appeared behind us, according to observations, it seems to be our people."
"The support has arrived!" The two battalion commanders were overjoyed at the same time.
However, after seeing that there were only a few dozen reinforcements, the two battalion commanders fell silent at the same time.
It seems that it's just a group of scattered rangers who came here to meet up.
Hong Lang strode over: "Which one is Lieutenant Colonel Frost? We are a combat team directly under the 1st Airborne Division, and we are ordered to come to support the 2nd Airborne Battalion."
"I am." Frost walked out: "How many of you are here?"
"21."
"Just sent 21 people here? It's not enough to give the enemy teeth." Frost smiled wryly.
Ralph said directly and coldly: "What we need is at least 2,100 soldiers instead of 21 soldiers. The government's promises have always been discounted...Damn bureaucrats!"
Shen Yi smiled lightly and said to Rourou: "It seems that we are not favored by others."
Gentle pouted: "Even the most basic reinforcement is enough to open their eyes. We will let them know that we are more valuable than 2100 soldiers."
With a soft ding, as the adventurers arrived at the Arnhem Bridge, the optional mission officially opened.
Snatch the bridge and defend it for ten days and eight hours.
The additional team bonus mission is now available: Protect the lives of Lieutenant Colonel Frost and Major Ralph. Surviving one person rewards 500 blood points.
For every soldier of the 2nd Airborne Battalion who survives, 20 blood points will be rewarded.
The task reward is a team reward and will be distributed according to the contribution ratio.
If you kill your own adventurer during the optional mission, you will lose the eligibility for team reward distribution.
Those with the highest contribution ratio can be rewarded with special items.
Special reward value is subject to the following additional conditions:
Every 10% higher than the per capita contribution ratio of surviving adventurers, the reward level will be raised by half, and the basic reward will have no level.
