Wanqi Siling
Chapter 598 Two-in-One
As Mu Chen's words fell, a dazzling white light shot straight from Su Bo's chest towards the starship beside him, and the starship's defense system was blasted apart by Mu Chen before it could even activate.
Mingmei couldn't help but glance at the blasted starship, noting Mu Chen's unchanged expression from beginning to end.
"Seventy points."
Mu Chen slowly announced the result of the battle. Killing a Zerg, plus a subsidy, was worth seven points. Mu Chen's actions revealed that there were a total of ten Zerg lurking on that mech.
Ten Zerg transformed into humans.
Mingmei was familiar with this scene.
She and Mu Chen had seen it in *Blood Battle at Dawn*. It was because of this type of Zerg that a fortress was destroyed, his brother investigated it for more than ten years, and when he returned, he brought this Zerg, which had never been noticed, into the public eye.
She hadn't expected that the Zerg's random roles in this game would include so many characters; it was simply impossible to guard against!
In reality, various identity verifications were required in various important occasions to target this type of Zerg, and regular physical and mental examinations were also mandatory.
Putting it in this game, it would be terrifying if no one realized the need to verify their identity.
The guys on this starship probably thought they were just careless, and they had an accidental encounter with an "player" outside, so that by the time Mingmei and the others arrived, the entire starship had become a "ghost starship."
When she and Mu Chen first encountered this starship and discovered that there might be non-humans inside, she was greatly surprised.
Mingmei shook her head. If her mental strength hadn't improved recently, allowing her to detect a trace of strange mental fluctuations on this starship, she would have fallen victim too.
"Yes, it's simply impossible to guard against," Mingmei sighed.
She originally thought that there were just hidden Zerg on this starship, but after probing with mental strength and the help of Guigui, she dared to confirm that there were no living people inside.
"Most people in this world are suspicious, and even in the legions, there are far more soldiers who focus on physical strengthening than those who specialize in mental strength."
Mu Chen also affirmed Mingmei's idea.
Under normal circumstances, people wouldn't casually use their mental fluctuations to sense whether another person's mental fluctuations were abnormal.
Fortunately, this hidden Zerg wasn't the type that had multiple births a year, two babies in three years, and endless generations of descendants; otherwise, humans would hardly be able to cope.
"I can't even imagine how the players on this starship must have felt when they first welcomed these Zerg disguised as human players onto the starship, then realized they had been deceived, and then reacted after their deaths."
Mingmei watched through Su Bo's visual system at the wreckage of the starship getting further and further away. The weapons on Mu Chen's mech were indeed very powerful, but under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be able to blast through a mech with one shot.
If the other party hadn't activated the defense system... Thinking of this, she silently withdrew her gaze.
The defense system on a starship was usually set to be always on by default.
It was also because of this that Mingmei instinctively felt something was wrong when she and Mu Chen encountered this ghost starship.
This could also be something that a dead player did before dying, in order to allow the people behind to discover something was wrong.
But now, no one was telling them.
And judging from the size of this starship, as they had exclaimed when they first encountered it, there were probably hundreds of players inside.
But as she and Mu Chen gradually confirmed that there were only Zerg left inside, their mood gradually sank.
A hundred or so players playing soldiers were gone right at the start.
It was already a one-to-one ratio between humans and Zerg, and now a hundred people were gone. The key was that they didn't know how many similar situations had occurred.
If there were a few more similar cases, what were they supposed to play in this game?
Be played by the Zerg?
Therefore, after discovering the truth, Mingmei and Mu Chen tacitly put on a show in front of these Zerg—#My Nice Guy Boyfriend and Spoiled Girlfriend#.
Mu Chen immediately pretended to be a soft-hearted, good-tempered, academically excellent, sheltered little handsome guy.
And he even had such a handsome mech!
At least, judging from the fact that they didn't recognize the mech or them, Mu Chen knew that the starship wasn't from a school they had been in contact with before.
After discovering the existence of Zerg on the starship, they gradually began to show off their acting skills.
Mu Chen looked like he could be easily coaxed onto the starship, while Mingmei was humming and hawing, unwilling to go up, and being picky about everything.
And the nice guy boyfriend, in order not to ruin his girlfriend's image, even said that she was just socially awkward, which sounded full of loopholes.
The two of them were simply hooking the Zerg players with their fishing skills, making them itch!
While Mu Chen was talking to the other party, he also specially instructed Mingmei to use her mental strength to investigate the situation on the starship. After confirming that there were really no living people inside, Mingmei took over Mu Chen's words, letting him focus on operating the mech.
Taking advantage of Mingmei's ridicule to divert the other party's attention, this gave Mu Chen the opportunity to launch an unexpected attack!
"Let's head towards Lu Xiaoyao and the others. Let's not detour too much on this road. Look how far we've detoured, and all the things we've encountered..."
Thinking about what had happened to the two of them along the way, they had either encountered old schemer players waiting for a rabbit to appear, or they had encountered "ghost starships" that had been tricked before they arrived.
Mingmei felt that if they didn't go and take a look, it was very likely that Lu Xiaoyao and the others would be gone too.
In response, Mu Chen felt that Mingmei might be a little worried.
Although Lu Xiaoyao was indeed very weak, Mu Chen could tell that Lu Xiaoyao's overall luck was still relatively fortunate.
It wouldn't be easy for someone like Lu Xiaoyao to be eliminated right at the start.
…
And Lu Xiaoyao, who had been recognized by Mu Chen, really showed her "tough" characteristics.
Literally tough, relying on the defense capabilities of the mech, Lu Xiaoyao dared to confront the Zerg head-on!
"Damn, did this guy fail his hand-to-hand combat skills at school?"
Due to the appearance of Lu Xiaoyao's mech, Fen Dai, most of the players ultimately escaped the Zerg's encirclement.
But just as they were escaping, a medium-sized Zerg took the lead in chasing after them, catching up and preparing to fight Lu Xiaoyao's mech.
As long as Lu Xiaoyao's S-class mech's movements were interrupted, it would be easy for the remaining players to be dealt with by the other Zerg.
They had countless ways to separate these players and defeat them one by one.
As long as Lu Xiaoyao's mech stopped causing trouble.
But they had thought it through, and it was actually very much in line with reality, but the object of their imagination was Lu Xiaoyao, a person who wasn't so compliant with reality.
As a result, when Mingmei and Mu Chen rushed back from one end, they happened to see a pink mech grabbing the tentacles of the opposite Zerg and pulling them out frantically.
With a crack, both tentacles were torn off by Lu Xiaoyao's mech with one hand!
The action was very similar to a plastic friendship breakup, where they pulled each other's hair; the action was so familiar that it made people feel sorry for them.
Mingmei: =。=
Everyone present, Zerg: =。=
But this alone wouldn't have caused this veteran who was playing a Zerg to have such a sigh; and after pulling out the "hair," Lu Xiaoyao directly headbutted the Zerg's head in the next second. The mech's fingers bent into the shape of claws with Lu Xiaoyao's movements and grabbed irregularly at the Zerg's head that she had just bumped.
Then, two fingers hooked into the dent and pulled down all the way!
"Holy crap! Is that how you practiced your hand-to-hand combat skills?!"
For the first time, someone had been beaten with such a face-slapping and face-scratching behavior, completely stunning the other party!
During that wave just now, Lu Xiaoyao scratched and poked, if he were human now, his face and eyes would have been scratched by the other party _(:3」∠)_
Even if his body was now a Zerg, that wasn't a reason for you to beat him like this!
Therefore, the onlookers expressed their opinion on Lu Xiaoyao's behavior of manipulating the mech to perform such operations—it was too outrageous.
As a result, the Zerg present looked at the human players on the scene with a trace of complexity.
What exactly did the younger generation learn at school these days?
"What is it? I don't care what kind of technique it is, as long as it works!" Lu Xiaoyao was fighting so happily that she couldn't see whether the Zerg's face under its outer appearance was twisted and roaring at the sky.
Anyway, she was happy.
For the first time, she was fighting Zerg, alone, without falling behind!
If the timing wasn't wrong, she would have roared to the sky!
It was just that her behavior directly caused their image in the minds of the older students to be somewhat skewed.
Even in the Zerg players' communication channel, which these people didn't know about, someone had already asked.
"Which school is that pink mech from? Does anyone know?"
"It seems to be from the Central Military Academy, right?"
"Bullshit! It's not! Our military academy doesn't teach this? I think it's from the Fifth Military Academy, right?"
"Holy crap? Our Fifth Military Academy hasn't offended any of you! You guys are acting cowardly, and you can't beat the Third Military Academy, so you're putting the blame on us, right?"
"Bah! What can't beat the Third Military Academy?!"
Rui An had just noticed that there was another S-class mech not far from them, and she was sighing that the new students these days were really amazing, with so many S-class mechs.
As a result, these guys started arguing among themselves.
"Shut up!"
As soon as Rui An got angry, the Zerg immediately became honest. .oγg
"S-class mech at coordinates 477, 603, the ones over there, pay attention."
As soon as Rui An finished speaking, it was as if cold water had fallen into a pot of oil, exploding once again.
"Damn! Another S-class mech? It's mine! I robbed so many space pirates to get enough for the down payment on an A-class custom mech!"
"Huh? Why does that mech look so familiar?"
Doren, who was lucky enough to follow Hu Mingli back to the Empire to "ask for money," looked at the pure white mech not far away, and the memories of that time flooded back.
"That's the mech of a student in the special recruitment class of the Central Military Academy. It seems to be from Hua Lan Star." Doren actually took the small midge in this game.
From the beginning, he had been hiding on the Xingyan Zerg's body, not speaking or exposing himself, until now, when he saw Su Bo, he decided to remind the Zerg.
"The owner of this mech once used this mech to directly break through a real Zerg encirclement. If you really want to spar with him, you can first consider clearing out these guys in front of you."
Rui An didn't support Doren's behavior of putting what he liked or was most interested in last.
But when she thought that this was a game, and everyone needed to score points, if they rushed up without knowing what was going on and gave away a head, that really wouldn't work.
As a result, Mingmei clearly saw that some Zerg had already set their sights on them, but not a single Zerg came over.
She was originally thinking of helping Lu Xiaoyao attract some firepower, but…
What was this supposed to be?
Were they spectators on the sidelines?
"Are these Zerg looking down on us?" Mingmei clearly saw that the smart Zerg had turned their heads towards them, then, after staring for two seconds, they silently turned their heads back.
Mingmei: ??
"Compared to one person, the scores of a dozen people are naturally more attractive." Mu Chen smiled when he heard Mingmei's doubting life words, "And the two of us are sitting in an S-class mech. When we don't know how the performance of this mech is, it's not a rational behavior to rashly rush up and confront an S-class mech."
Moreover, these Zerg were still played by humans after all. Everyone wasn't stupid. Since there was a group of soft persimmons to bully, why would they come and poke at their thorn that looked extremely difficult to deal with?
While Mu Chen and Mingmei were talking, Mu Chen shared an operating interface in front of Mingmei again.
"Are you going to save Lu Xiaoyao?"
"Can we not save her?"
Mingmei and the others saw that because Lu Xiaoyao's individual combat was too "evil," and her moves were different from others, the number of Zerg used to deal with Lu Xiaoyao had also increased.
If the quality wasn't good enough, they would make up for it with quantity.
They weren't talking about martial ethics, they simply started ganging up on Lu Xiaoyao.
The other dozen or so players were the same, they were split up by different Zerg, and it was already difficult in a one-on-one situation, not to mention that they saw so many more Zerg on Lu Xiaoyao's side, and it was obvious that there would be a many-on-one situation.
As a result, before they had a many-on-one situation, some players' mentality became unstable, and they were directly sent away by the Zerg in front of them, taking advantage of their distraction.
Just as Mingmei and Mu Chen had cooperated to rush into the encirclement from outside the encirclement, they saw that nearly half of the mechs had already been destroyed.
You would say that everyone's mood after being destroyed must be extremely angry, or sad, but when Mingmei and Mu Chen passed a group of Zerg, they heard a comment that made them laugh and cry.
"Damn, if this was outside the game, and someone was flaunting a car card, I would immediately grab it and drive it!"
Mingmei: "…"
That's a good idea, don't even think about it in the future.
When Mingmei and the others rushed into the encirclement, Lu Xiaoyao's fists that she used with the mech were so fast that you could see afterimages.
It was said that two fists were hard to beat four hands, but she was different. When she swung her arms, the eight hands didn't even touch him.
"Lu Xiaoyao!"
Mingmei shouted, then pressed the light key that Mu Chen shared, and in the next second, a mini light cannon suddenly rose from the mech's shoulder and headed towards Hu Yue and Li Yuan, who were struggling to support them on the other side: "Get out of the way quickly!"
