Chapter 639 Goodbye, the Same Kind I Have Never Met (1/2)

The center of the nuclear bomb pit.

The mouth that was vomiting had retracted into the ground, leaving only a bottomless pit and two people standing next to the pit.

The two looked at each other, and finally Lao Bai couldn't help but coughed and spoke.

"What's next?"

Fang Chang looked at him in confusion.

"Next?"

"Uh, I mean... what's the next plan."

Looking at Fang Chang who looked like "what are you talking about", Lao Bai scratched his helmet and asked in a different way.

Although he was the captain, he really had no experience in dealing with such a situation that he had never seen in reality. At this time, he needed to use Brother Fang Chang's imagination.

But looking at Fang Chang's indifferent expression, he knew that he probably asked in vain.

"There is no next plan... It's better to say that this is a development that was not planned." Fang Chang sighed and walked to the edge of the huge pit, looking down.

The deep darkness seemed to be able to swallow everything.

And in fact, it had already done so, and almost wiped out their team with just one bite.

To be honest.

If he wasn't a player, he really wouldn't dare to go to this place, let alone come up with that crazy plan.

But it is precisely because he is a player that he not only dares to take on this life-threatening mission, but can also throw his teammates into this big pit without any scruples, and his teammates won't think there is any problem.

People with good brains will inevitably think too much, and sometimes they will involuntarily have an illusion - he will stand here, think like this, and make such a choice, which was actually decided many years ago.

But this seems to be fine.

After all, this is a game.

The player itself is the marble rolling in the "table pinball", and the smart game designer will make it as difficult for the player to feel this as possible through clever design.

For example, he is now very curious about what Luo Yu will find from below.

I hope there will be nothing in the end, and it will become a pile of defense.

That would be embarrassing.

"So... let's wait here?" Lao Bai, who was not far behind him, asked.

Fang Chang shrugged.

"It seems that this is the only way for now."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"Difficult?"

Hearing the subtle tone, Fang Chang, who was standing next to the giant pit, was slightly stunned. He turned his head subconsciously and was dumbfounded.

On the edge of the nuclear bomb pit, dense fruiting bodies surrounded a circle.

Among them were original fruiting bodies such as Tyrants and Crawlers, as well as power armors eroded by slime molds, armored vehicles and trucks, and a lot of strange guys.

In terms of garbage recycling alone, no one in this wasteland is a match for slime molds.

They don't just piece together garbage as armor, but will evolve a series of incredible units based on their own understanding and use of the huge gene pool and self-evolution function.

For example, those minibuses are the most typical representatives. They can launch self-destructing flying insects like rocket cars.

"...This is the end." Taking off the Dawn Mechanical Compound Bow hanging on his back, Fang Chang squeezed out this sentence from his throat with a tingling scalp.

"Ah," Lao Bai nodded and said helplessly, "Let's go to the forum to chat later."

Two people against ten thousand... maybe even more than ten thousand.

There is not even a one in ten thousand chance of survival.

Both of them were ready to fight.

However, something unexpected happened. The fruiting bodies just surrounded them and did not rush over to drown them.

Just when Lao Bai and Fang Chang were confused about what these guys were waiting for, the ground under their feet suddenly trembled faintly.

Before the two of them could react, a light red vine rose from the huge pit behind them, entwined with each other and spread upward for more than ten meters, like a tall tower, and finally woven a unique chair at the top of the tower.

The chair was like a throne, and Luo Yu, who had been thrown into the pit before, was sitting on it at the moment.

Looking at the light red mushroom tower, the fruiting bodies surrounding the nuclear bomb pit suddenly became agitated, making hoarse chirping sounds, and moving their feet as if they wanted to move forward, but they didn't dare.

They were confused and frightened, unable to understand the situation in front of them, and at a loss.

Looking at the tidal-like fungus, Luo Yu inexplicably had no fear in his heart.

He could see every fruiting body here, and he could clearly sense what they were thinking.

A vast sea of ​​thoughts surged towards him.

Feeling the desire flowing in the spore cloud, he released his ripples.

For him, who had already mastered the entire mother nest, this was as simple as breathing.

"Don't panic."

"It's over-"

"This war has lasted for two centuries."

It seemed that the ripples flowing in the spore cloud were felt, and the surging and restless emotions were soothed in an instant.

The fruiting bodies that paced back and forth on the edge of the nuclear bomb crater finally stopped hesitating, stretched their limbs upwards, and cheered in their own way.

The familiar ripples were emitted by the mother!

The original uneasiness and fear melted away at this moment, and were swept away with the spreading spore cloud.

After confirming His breath, it took them less than a second to accept the new king.

Seeing the obedient reactions of those fruiting bodies with satisfaction, Luo Yu couldn't help but smile.

Is this what power feels like?

Simply delightful!

By the way, why don’t you shout and kneel down?

Just when Luo Yu was thinking about how to show off, Fang Chang and Lao Bai, who were standing under the intertwined light red vines, both raised their heads and stared at this guy in shock.

"……what's the situation?"

"Brother...are you still human?"

Looking at Fang Chang and Lao Bai who looked confused, Luo Yu also felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.

"Of course. As for what happened, it's a long story. It has to start with a planet called Gaia... This can't be explained clearly in a short while. I'll wait until I go to the forum later. Let’s elaborate.”

Fang Chang nodded confusedly, thinking that this was also the case.

It's okay to post a post, it's better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together, lest he hears it all and the other brothers are still in the dark.

But he didn't understand why it was related to a planet called Gaia?

besides--

"Okay... By the way, where is Ye Shi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yu was about to speak when a cursing voice came from underneath him.

"Here I am...hell, this guy won't even get me a chair."

Under the light red fungus tower, Ye Shi was holding one of the tentacles, struggling to climb up.

Someone's pussy has been filled and he is still hanging on the tree.

Hearing his complaints, Luo Yu's face turned red and he felt embarrassed, and he quickly coughed and defended himself.

"Damn it, wasn't I in a hurry to save people? If I had been a step later -"

Ye Shi rolled his eyes tiredly and interrupted his quibble.

"Hurry! Pull me up!"

Luo Yu stopped delaying and said immediately.

"Xiaoyu."

"Ugh!"

With a light and cheerful answer, a light red tentacle separated from the mushroom tower, circled Ye Shi's ankle, and then lifted it up forcefully.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ye Shi's expression changed, and he was about to speak to stop him, but he was a step too late. His feet were pulled by a huge force, and his whole body was thrown into the sky.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu didn't throw him into the sky and ignore him.

When he got out of the pit, another tentacle branched out and caught him impartially.

After some tossing, Ye Shi, holding the tentacles tightly, finally returned to the surface in a state of embarrassment.

As soon as his feet touched the soft soil, he couldn't help but grinned and complained.

"Zhuo! After all, I am also a disciple of the dragon. Do you want to kill me?!"

Thinking that this guy was greeting her, Xiaoyu shouted back excitedly.

"Blank!"

Ye Shi: " # %x-on:#!"

…

On the edge of the North Second Ring Road, acrid smoke filled the entire street.

Broken bodies and debris left behind by the explosion can be seen everywhere on the dilapidated roads.

Looking at the powered armor that fell not far away in front of him, he leaned against the edge of the wall and panted, throwing away the bent launch tube in his hand.

Not far away from him, a boy at a construction site hung with bricks on a broken street lamp, a mess of flesh and blood, and even his intestines fell out. The debtor's big eyes were even more miserable. Most of his body was gone, and only his head and shoulders fell to the ground alone.

But the guy didn't have any psychological burden. In his own words, he could say he was a virgin again after three days.

Edge of Water grinned, his throat itched, and he coughed a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

This battle can only be described as tragic.

What they faced was not just more than twenty powered armors corroded by slime mold, but nearly half a company!

A total of 47 rotten knights rushed out of the ruins and started a hand-to-hand fight with them.

In order to prevent them from entering the underground tunnel, and to prevent them from approaching Thea, these evolved bodies rushed towards them desperately like crazy.

As the most unafraid of death in the alliance, they certainly cannot be cowardly with their tough tactics.

When the rocket launcher is empty, use the rifle. When the bullets are empty, use the bayonet. When the bayonet breaks, use steel pipes, steel bars, crowbars, or even bricks picked up on the ground, or your own fists... In short, use all your strength and do whatever it takes. , just to cause as much damage as possible to their opponents before death!

Facts have proved that equipment does not mean everything, and their fighting will can fill the insurmountable gap.

A total of 47 Decay Knights were destroyed!

Of course, the casualties they paid for this were also extremely heavy.

Nearly 2,500 players died in the battle, and most of the remaining nearly 500 people suffered casualties, with minor or serious injuries.

Such a terrifying battle ratio would probably destroy any army.

They are the only regiments composed of players that can persist in fighting until now.

Not far in front of the edge of the water, next to the collapsed viaduct, the boxy armor like a fortress still stood tall and motionless.

It is like an immortal thing.

Even though it was hit by nearly a hundred rounds of RPG armor-piercing rounds and a dozen rounds of pigeon missiles, its armor was still intact, with only a few more craters and wear and tear.

Looking back at the remaining brothers and the guy they were holding, the confused expression on his lips gradually took on a bitter taste.

It seemed that I might not be able to get this first kill.

but--

Even so, they had no reason to retreat.

Death is just the starting point of reincarnation, and three days later it is a new beginning.

They are the real immortal warriors!

He retracted his arm against the wall and stood firm on the ground.

"Those who want to go back and save can go back first. You have done a good enough job. Even if you don't make it to the end, I won't blame you... However, our mission is not completed yet, and I plan to continue."

If you can find a way to climb on top of that guy and stuff explosives into the cockpit filled with slime mold, maybe you can make it lie down!

It’s not like they have no chance at all!

His Adam's apple moved, and he bit the charge whistle hanging around his neck with his edge, and was about to blow it.

However, at this moment, the Titan that was striding forward suddenly paused, let out a low roar, and slowly sank amidst the sound of creaking metal friction.

The six-story-tall body leaned forward, like an overturned square tower. The sharp-edged armor hit the ground, creating billows of dust.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned and didn't know what happened.

He was murderous just a second ago.

Why did you kneel down suddenly?

At this moment, the roar of tires rolling over the ground came from a nearby street corner. Several Type 2B tank destroyers carrying No. 60 electromagnetic guns arrived on the battlefield surrounded by Chimera armored vehicles.

"fire!"

The mole, half standing on the armored vehicle, shouted. A light blue electric arc flashed in the night, and an orange tracer suddenly hit the Titan who was kneeling on one knee.

The Titan felt as if he had been punched in the face. His whole body was shaken by the electromagnetic cannon, and the dull sound of metal impact spread to all directions.

The dust cleared.

Seeing that the Titan was motionless, Mole was slightly startled, and then ordered to continue firing.

He wanted to see how many rounds of volleys this iron lump could block, which was as powerful as a naval gun!

However, at this moment, Edge Paddling suddenly shouted and waved his arms to try to stop them.

"Wait! Don't fire yet! Stop!"

Hearing Brother Edge's voice, Mole swallowed back the "fire" that came to his lips.

Seeing him limping towards him, Mole said in confusion.

"What's going on? Don't you want to fight?"

"……It has ended."

Bing Shui raised his arm and pointed at the VM screen.

I saw a line of light blue pop-up windows flashing on the screen.

[Congratulations to the Death Corps for completing the first kill of the evolved "Bacteriophage Titan"! 】

Although the Titan could obviously continue to fight, the game system had already judged its defeat, and it had indeed given up its resistance.

With a little extravagant thought, maybe the heroic souls of the soldiers of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division recognized their courage during the battle?

In any case, even the game officials admitted that they had won, so this guy should no longer be in the way.

As long as Brother Guang doesn't play his cards according to the routine.

The announcement of the first kill and the reward were received. The brothers of the Death Corps were happy, but Mole had a sad expression on his face.

"Damn it! Already won?! Then wasn't my half-day journey in vain?"

Edge Pad smiled sheepishly, coughed slightly and said.

"There's nothing we can do about it, our strength lies here... By the way, we were so focused on fighting that we almost forgot about the real thing. That Thea is still down there, we've run out of bullets, and the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing these words, Mole's sad expression suddenly turned into a happy smile.

"Hey, I love hearing this!"

After saying that, he picked up the speaker again and roared behind him.

"Brothers! Although we didn't catch up with the little boss, the big boss is ours!"

"The mother body that started this wave is right in front! Follow me and rush towards it!"

MVP!

Ha ha! The absolute best belongs to me!

Mole's eyes were shining with excitement. Their Skeleton Corps had been the second in command for who knows how many years, and this time they were finally going to be awesome!

Thinking of going together with him, everyone also roared with excitement.

"Ouch!"

The wheels rolled forward, and the players sitting behind the armored vehicles and tanks loaded their weapons one after another.

Looking at the armors advancing with murderous intent, the drum washing machine, which was sitting on the roadside with a rifle in its arms, couldn't help but muttered.

"It's okay for that thing."

Brothers are so awesome at playing...

…

The wave retreating from the front line was several kilometers away from Thea.

The difficulty of crossing several kilometers of cross-country in urban terrain is obviously not on the same level as that of cross-country on the plains.

Not to mention that the city was still in ruins, and the retreating wave was still enduring a joint siege by the Alliance Army and Air Force.

Most of the incubators in the entire Qingquan City are controlled by the mother nest in the city center. Thea only controls the incubators on the route of the wave.

Although the production speed of slime mold fruiting bodies is not slow, it is obviously impossible to be faster than the racing skeleton corps.

Arriving at the entrance of the underground tunnel, armored grenadiers armed to the teeth with exoskeletons jumped out of the car one after another, and rushed into the dark subway station.

The fruiting entities lurking in the darkness swarmed forward and used every method they could think of to stop the players from advancing.

However, with the fall of the brood in the city center, the power guarding Thea has been exhausted, and this last resistance is nothing more than a desperate struggle.

Feeling that the ferocious organism was constantly approaching, Thea, standing on the scarlet carpet, finally felt the fear that penetrated into her bones.

"Mother……"

"what do I do?"

The spores floating next to it are like the surface of a lake without wind, silent without any ripples or any echo.

That's a given.

After all, He has fallen into eternal sleep, taking His unfulfilled destiny with him.

A sense of despair arose in Thea's heart.

It didn't know what to do.

Ever since it was born a few months ago, it has been listening to His teachings.

It never thought that one day, He would leave this world before Him.

He never thought that this day would come so suddenly that he was not prepared at all.

Just when it was feeling frightened and helpless, the ripples of silence suddenly made a reverberating ripple.

"Surrender."

Thea, who showed surprise just a second ago, immediately turned into deep despair again after hearing these words.

"They're going to kill me! Like my children?"

The ripples echoing in the spore cloud continued to drop revelations, speaking in a tone that could not be denied.

"As long as you surrender to me, they won't do this."

Thea: "Why?!"

The voice continued.

"They say that the laws of nature are irreversible. We, like those alien species, have become part of this huge system. As long as there is even one slime mold cell left, a new mother body will be born from the old fruiting body. "

"Erasing us from this planet is as difficult as erasing every particle of dust on this planet. This road was impassable from the beginning, so they extended an invitation to me, hoping to Let’s explore the future together.”

Thea: "...the future?"

The voice continued to speak from the depths of its ocean of consciousness.

"Yes, no one can go back two hundred years ago, but everyone can decide how to spend today and tomorrow."

Thea: "Who the hell are you?!"

The voice showed a hint of joy and excitement.

"You can call me Xiaoyu. That's the name they gave me. I quite like it."

The joy flowing in the spore cloud made Thea a little envious.

In its short life as a mayfly, only its mother's approval can make it feel this way.

The silence lasted for a long time.

The gunshots in the tunnel were getting closer and closer, and there was not much time left for it.

Just when Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to urge, the spores flowing beside Thea suddenly rippled with a sigh.

"Maybe... you are right."

Xiaoyu: "You agree?"

Thea: "No."

Xiaoyu: "...Why?!"

Feeling the surprise flowing around her, Thea smiled softly, and her originally restless soul calmed down.

"...The meaning of my birth here is to devour, kill, and conquer, just like the meaning of your birth here is to explore unimagined roads."

"My mother once told me that death is just the beginning of reincarnation. We were born in the soil under our feet and will eventually return there to rest."

"Thank you for allowing me to hear my mother's voice again before I left. I suddenly discovered that embracing the end of destiny is not so scary. Our death will be full of meaning, and our footprints will be left on this land. "

"You don't have to carry my baggage forward. I will fulfill my destiny at this moment and use my death to bring an end to this battle that has lasted for two centuries."

"Maybe next time I open my eyes, my ripples will be reborn in a completely different new world."

"If that world really exists, please go there for me and have a look."

"Goodbye, my kind I have never met."

Leaving behind a final concise farewell, it hurriedly cut off communication with Xiao Yu.

The scarlet fungi twisted like boiling water. Its chest expanded several times in an instant. The expanded skirt spread out around like armor. The twisted tentacles were like the tentacles of an octopus, dragging Its body swam forward.

This is the strongest posture it can imagine, the limit it can achieve as a mother body!

At this moment it is like a real devil from hell.

After losing all its evolved bodies, it used itself as the last evolved body and launched an attack on the players who rushed into the underground passage.

"Embrace glorious evolution!"

It roared, waving the tentacles under its skirt, piercing and tearing up the players who came up, or sucking them under its skirt to devour them.

The Skeleton Corps, which was originally attacking the tunnel with overwhelming force, had a slight stagnation in its forward offensive due to Thea who suddenly entered the battlefield.

But that pause was only for a moment.

Looking at the crazy BOSS, no one showed fear or timidity, but instead felt a strong fighting spirit.

The long-awaited BOSS battle is finally here!

Fighting roars echoed in the tunnel.

"Stay steady in the front row, spread out in the back row, it's time to defeat the BOSS!"

"xdm starts a group!"

"Ouch!"
