Wanqi Siling
Chapter 599 Discord
Li Yuan subconsciously manipulated the mecha to hug Hu Yue's mecha, and the two of them bent down together.
And just as the huge insect foot behind them was about to rise up and harvest these two retreating mechas, Mu Chen sent it away with a single shot.
Truly sent away with one shot, not even scraps left.
"Whoa!"
Everyone present witnessed the power of the energy cannon fired by Mu Chen's mecha, and for a moment, they were speechless.
Especially Hu Yue, who had just been entangled with this Zerg for a long time, knew how difficult it was to fight against. Although its skin wasn't the thickest, the insect shell wrapped around its vital parts was still very thick. The moment she turned her head just now, she saw that the energy cannon directly hit the opponent's vital weak point and instantly penetrated the protective layer.
The S-class mecha is terrifying!
For some reason, everyone present suddenly looked at Lu Xiaoyao.
"Oh my god!"
Unaware that others were watching her, Lu Xiaoyao also cried out when she saw Mu Chen's mecha operations.
It's not that her mecha didn't have these weapons installed, but she knew at a glance from the data that the weapons on the other party's mecha were not of the same level as hers.
"They're both S-class mechas, why is there such a big difference?"
Lu Xiaoyao murmured, not even noticing the Zerg's sneak attack from behind.
Then, the sneaking Zerg was once again driven to self-doubt by the perverted defense of Fen Dai.
They could all see how unskilled the person piloting the mecha was, the attack was just "so-so," but coupled with such a perverted defense, it was simply infuriating!
Sneaking up on her without her even noticing, it was simply too insulting to the Zerg!
And Lu Xiaoyao was now spacing out with perfect justification!
"Ah!"
The sound of a Zerg's miserable scream brought Lu Xiaoyao, who had been stunned by Su Bo's perverted attack, back to her senses. Su Bo was now behind Lu Xiaoyao, Mu Chen had just kicked away the Zerg that was sneaking up on Lu Xiaoyao.
That's why there was movement.
"What are you spacing out about?" Mingmei asked Lu Xiaoyao through the public channel.
"I was just stunned by that attack! Your, ah,大佬's mecha is too awesome!" (Dàlǎo - big shot)
Coming back to her senses, Lu Xiaoyao looked at the Su Bo in front of her with admiration, but Mu Chen and Mingmei didn't stop. They just asked Lu Xiaoyao about the situation just now and then determined the next course of action.
Lu Xiaoyao was responsible for staying in place and protecting the others that Mu Chen and Mingmei rescued.
Making the most of her mecha's greatest strengths.
On the other side, Rui An and the others also saw Mingmei's group's appearance. It was just the appearance of Su Bo's mecha that brought no small change to their encirclement plan, and they even lost quite a few Zerg when Su Bo attacked.
"Retreat."
There were quite a few of Rui An and the others, if they continued like this, they would suffer.
Although in the first half of the game, the Zerg present had already obtained a lot of points, the main purpose of the second half was to give the newcomers a show of force, so they didn't care about the points.
But they weren't willing to give the newcomers free kills.
If that happened, they would be laughed at after leaving the game!
So, Mingmei and the others had just rescued the few who hadn't died when they turned around and found that the group of Zerg had retreated.
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoyao's eyes were full of confusion, "Why are they running?"
Shouldn't it be them, these half-crippled mechas, who should be running?
"To better kill us later with the least cost."
Hu Yue's mecha had been severely damaged. Luckily, the mecha provided by the system could accommodate two to three people to the greatest extent, so Hu Yue was now in the same mecha as Li Yuan.
She had just seen that when Mu Chen was piloting Su Bo, the movements of the surrounding Zerg began to slow down.
Now that the Zerg had retreated, it was most likely because they were afraid of Mu Chen's mecha.
After Hu Yue finished speaking, she thanked Mingmei and the others, saying that it was thanks to their timely return.
As soon as Hu Yue said this, those who had originally wanted to say that if they hadn't left so early, they wouldn't be in this situation closed their mouths again.
Hu Yue had just finished speaking, then Li Yuan said this, Lu Xiaoyao followed to help, and Dong Lei, who had known Lu Xiaoyao before, also echoed.
There weren't many people who survived in the first place, and half of those present had said so. It would seem very wrong for those who had been rescued to say anything more.
However, some of them still couldn't get over it.
If someone like Mu Chen had stayed from the beginning, wouldn't they have been able to turn the tide earlier?
Those who didn't feel that there was anything wrong with themselves silently kept their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
It's just a pity that some people's acting skills were not up to par when they were holding back their anger.
These subtle emotions of dissatisfaction were still noticed by Mu Chen in the state of some people not speaking in the public channel.
Among these people, there were quite a few with ulterior motives.
He had seen it on the starship before.
"Ah Chen and I took a little detour just now and found that a starship had lost all its people. Their starship was still the giant transport ship type. If nothing else, there were about a hundred players on it."
"Wow! Where are the people?"
Even though the Zerg had retreated from the spot, Lu Xiaoyao and the others still needed a place to rest.
So, upon hearing that Mingmei and the others had encountered such a large starship, she immediately became interested.
"All dead."
Mingmei poured a bucket of cold water directly on everyone, waking them up.
"Ah?"
They were all dumbfounded.
"How could they all be dead?"
"Because there are hidden Zerg who are playing as imposters in this game." When Mu Chen mentioned this Zerg, everyone present looked terrified.
"There's this in this game?!"
When Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast of "Blood Battle Dawn" and Mei Qiu's later appearance exposed this hidden Zerg to the public, everyone was shocked.
As a result—
"Oh my god, is this game stirring up trouble here? How come we didn't have the option to choose this in the last game?"
Lu Xiaoyao first felt incredulous, and the next second she discovered the bug. When they entered the game as Zerg, how come they didn't have these options?
"Playing this kind of Zerg requires a lot of skill and guts, and your acting skills have to be top-notch." Hu Yue understood why the newcomers didn't have these options.
First of all, how could they deceive a soldier player to death, and then impersonate them without being discovered and blend into the crowd? This was a major challenge.
Compared to them, a group of people from various schools today who might not be very familiar with each other, deceiving each other might be okay, but their temperament was completely different from that of veterans. They would just be giving away free kills if they went up.
"Not giving us this option is completely considering us." When Hu Yue finished saying this fact, Mingmei and Mu Chen had already started discussing where to go next.
"If they really considered us, they might as well consider not letting them play it at all."
This wasn't just Lu Xiaoyao, other players also felt that this was a double standard.
Hu Yue didn't say anything about this. She knew a little about her brother's thoughts.
So she didn't speak.
"Alright, let's find a place to rest first."
After Mu Chen and Mingmei confirmed the next location, Mu Chen spoke, and said the location they thought was relatively safe.
But this location was questioned by someone again.
"How do you know that place is safe? The location you marked doesn't seem to be the place you came from just now, right? And it's towards the interior of the map. What if we encounter Zerg again?"
