Two Hundred and Twentieth Eighth Chapter Demacia and Noxus Plan (5)

On the other side of the hemisphere of the planet where the ground base is located, above the Grand Canyon, two marines, 035 and 036, are squatting bored beside a hidden boulder pile with guns on guard.

The reason why they stayed here was that they were ordered by the 031 captain who carried out this reconnaissance mission to guard the rigging here, and must ensure the safety of the two sets of rigging within three hours before they return.

Otherwise, when the four or five people who had gone down returned, they would not be able to get up without the help of this rigging!

And the transport plane couldn't get too close to this canyon due to the strong magnetic field.

Therefore, if there is any problem with these two sets of rigging, those of them will probably be trapped at the bottom of the valley.

And this Grand Canyon, the fissure below, is really a little narrow, a little too deep, and also curved. It is really impossible to use the flying jet device to forcefully fly up. You can use the downhill rigging to help you climb.

Except for 035 and 036 who were guarding the rappelling device above the canyon, the other 18 people, after checking their weapons and equipment, descended into the deep canyon fissures one by one.

"Captain? We have traveled several hundred meters deep, how long will we have to go?"

Now, these 18 marines are going down the twisted gravel crevice path. They have been walking for nearly half an hour, and they barely penetrated a distance of more than 1,000 meters. .

Then, after getting deeper and deeper, a team member who walked second in front with 039 on his chest finally couldn't help asking the captain who was in the front.

Now as he walked deeper and deeper, his heart became more and more panicked. When he thought about those unmanned detectors that disappeared inexplicably, he felt his heart trembling for a while.

He felt that, Commander Doug of the base, did she have to send them to find out what was in the canyon fissure?

Now that we know there are bugs in it, why not just let the drone carry some self-explosive bombs or wait until the fusion bombs that have been produced are shot down?

He did know that outside the command center of the ground base, a nuclear bomb silo had been transformed by SCV, and that kind of tactical-level fusion intercontinental missile must have been included in the production list, right?

"Shut up! Be patient, we still have half the way, as long as we reach the place where the drones can't reach,

After some investigation, if there is no special discovery, we can immediately go back the same way! "

In fact, the captain of No. 031 was also a little trembling, but since he took over this field investigation mission cruelly, he must go through it!

This time they came here, in addition to the nominal investigation, they actually have another more important secret mission, but others don't know that's all.

And once he finds that there is really a large-scale insect swarm below, he will probably implement another set of action plans!

Therefore, while encouraging the team members, he continued to take the lead and walk in the forefront.

"Everyone pay attention, keep close. In front, there is an area of ​​electromagnetic chaos! At that time, communication may not be very effective. If you can not talk, try to keep quiet! None of us know, what will happen there? There is something..."

Whispering in a low voice, Captain 031 took the lead and continued to walk toward the slanted downward crack.

The current depth is almost reaching the predetermined chaos area.

The marines in their group have already seen some abnormalities in their electronic equipment.

The holographic images in everyone's helmets started to jump inexplicably...

So, after making a final confession and letting the people behind follow up, he took the lead and continued walking.

"..."

After a while, in everyone's equipment, including the captain, except for power armor and lighting equipment, which are rough and fleshy, without sophisticated electronic equipment, and are not affected by the strange magnetic field, other high-end equipment, Including radar, camera equipment, night vision equipment, communication, etc., all have been severely interfered.

Obviously, now, they have entered the final area of ​​​​their mission objective.

Because, they have already seen that the downhill road in front of them has gradually become wider, and, in a corner, they also found the wreckage of an unmanned detection equipment that obviously belonged to the human product of the Hope.

Seems like... it was torn apart violently?

"Everyone, check your weapons one last time, we are about to enter the mission target area!"

Without the help of communication equipment, the captain of No. 031 said in a muffled voice directly in the mask while gesturing.

Although this planet has an atmosphere and sound can be transmitted in the air, his words were a bit dull due to the fully enclosed mask. The team members behind couldn't hear what their captain said at all. You can only guess based on the actions of the people in front of you and the captain's non-standard tactical gestures.

"Okay! Everyone, keep going, keep quiet, and don't speak loudly!"

After seeing that everyone completed the final inspection of equipment according to his order, 031 nodded, and after a dull last sentence, he walked forward first.

Then, the other marines followed one by one, using the two pairs of white light searchlights next to their armor chests and helmets, while carefully watching the ground, they closely followed the teammates in front of them...

The difference from other citizens on the No. Hope game platform who conduct various confrontations or equipment training is that in this special copy of Stratholme that Little Anne asked her brain to make according to her memory and requirements, Galen and De The members of Laius' two squads were in the open space outside the head of the Stratholme Bridge, and they were going back and forth to practice their skills in using cold weapons.

They are divided into two groups of two, each chanting funny slogans of "Demacia" or "Noxus", and then flashing golden holy light energy or blood-red anger on their bodies, catching and slashing at each other with.

Sometimes, if someone is not careful, half of his body will be cut off by a big sword...

Or, someone staggered, and his reaction was a little slow, and his head was chopped off by a blood-red ax...

All kinds of blood and internal organs flowed out of the bridge, and then were quickly refreshed.

But in fact, they are not so much training, as they are relying on the holographic simulation game that there will be no real dead people, and they are holding weapons and slashing at each other without any rules?

In the last second, the opponent who was cut in half by an axe was refreshed in the next second, and joined the battle again. It was so lively!

For veterans like them who have undergone many trainings, in the game, apart from a little low-intensity simulated pain at the moment of being cut, there is not much discomfort. There is no difference in the feeling when it is fried.

They have long been accustomed to this.

"Hey! Darius, let's stop fighting, shall we? I think, now we are almost proficient in the basics of weapons! How about we try to open up wasteland in Stratholme?"

After fighting each other for nearly half an hour, they became more and more adaptable to this kind of big sword and big ax weapon, and they became more and more smooth when shouting slogans!

Correspondingly, the response feedback of the special energy on the weapon has also become more and more solid.

So, Galen thought, how boring would it be to slash at each other if they continue to fight each other like this?

Why not go to the city early to have a look, and try to practice with those undead?

Anyway, Galen felt that they had basically mastered these cold weapons and the strange energy fed back from the weapons. He also felt that now, he could beat the previous ten selves by himself, and he would never be the same as before. , was easily overwhelmed and torn to pieces by those undead!

Therefore, with his self-confidence extremely inflated, he decided: while everyone is in a good mood, just clear this so-called Stratholme dungeon in one go?

Those ghouls and abominations don't seem like too much of a problem, do they?

Besides, they are not the same now as they were just now. They have basically mastered these powers beyond ordinary people now!

"Let's go to the city now... are you sure?"

Darius took two steps back when he heard Galen yelling to stop, holding his huge two-handed battle axe, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He always felt that Galen seemed a little too impatient by doing this?

After all, they've only been training for half an hour, so it doesn't seem too good to just run into the city so carelessly, doesn't it? Who knows how many of those evil undead are there?

"What are you afraid of? We are unrivaled now!"

Galen brandished the great sword in his hand proudly, allowing the golden light on the weapon to slightly cover half of his body. Does it really look like that?

Anyway, it's just a game, and you won't die, so it's okay to try!

"That's right, captain! It's not a problem for us to practice sparring like this all the time! Let's go to the city and try it out?"

"agree!"

Some team members who heard it around also stopped and spoke in agreement with Galen's resolution.

"That's right, I agree too! Captain, you don't know: Those bastards who just sparred with my mother are all dirty bastards! They want to take advantage of my mother all day long! When they use knives, they only pick Cut in three ways!"

A female soldier jumped out at the right time, and loudly condemned the perverts who were training with her to Darius.

Just now, she was split in half by those bastards in an extremely indecent way!

"Sister! You misunderstood me!"

"That's right! Every time you swing the axe, you open and close. The opening and openings below are so big, of course we have to pick the bottom first..."

"That makes sense!"

"Captain, you don't know: she always raises the ax so high, if we die or chop off her lower third, she will smash her head on the spot!"

"That's right! Seeing that she is about to strike down from above, why don't I rush over? In that case, who cares so much?"

"That's it! I was slashed twice in the neck by her just now!"

Seeing someone accusing him and others of being tricky, the team members who had trained with this female soldier became a little unhappy, and jumped out to retort.

In this short half-hour of training, the number of people who were split in half by this female player was definitely not less than double digits!

Her opponents have changed several batches, and few of them can stand her invincible violent style of play. It's not practicing at all, but desperate!

Every time, no matter how the opponent defends or attacks, she always raises her big ax high, and then directly chops down Huashan Mountain with all her strength. That momentum alone can frighten many people. .

Therefore, after they suffered a loss from the female player's ax and came back with revenge, they immediately changed their opponents!

"I also agree, go to the city and open up Stratholme!"

"Let's go! Go to the city, go to the city! Let's open up wasteland!"

"Yes! Exterminate the undead in the city, kill them all!"

"Yes! Enter the city!"

"Long live Demacia!!"

"Noxus, unrivaled!!!"

A group of marines, who Lu claimed to be invincible in the world, stopped what they were doing and started to make noise loudly.

They are also a little tired of this kind of tedious sparring training now. This kind of sparring, other than killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent, has no meaning at all, it is so boring!

Moreover, they were "eaten" once by those undead just now, this revenge must be avenged!

"Okay, let's go to town!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Darius couldn't be too obstructive. After thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement.

Left and right is just a training game, if you can't beat it, just go back and continue practicing later, it's not a big deal anyway.

"Okay! Where is the dawn of Zhinao? Hurry up and put on armored power combat suits for us, we are going to enter the city to open up wasteland!"

After obtaining everyone's consent, Galen began to call out the brain of Hope.

Since it is an official land reclamation, they must wear equipment, and they must start attacking this city in an actual combat state!

Of course, it was just equipped with combat uniforms. As for the electromagnetic rifle, it was not needed for the time being.

"The order has been received!"

Suddenly, Dawn's electronically synthesized female voice sounded.

Then, all the Marine Corps members put on their CMC-300/400 armored power combat suits in an instant, and turned into twenty interstellar heavy paladins ( Apprentice?) and Warrior (Apprentice?).

"Haha! Are you ready, everyone? Now, listen to my order: start attacking!"

After the gate of Stratholme in front slowly opened, Galen raised his long sword and shouted at the gate.

He made a decision: They will rush in in one go, kill all the movable monsters they see, and completely clear this seemingly small city dungeon before the dinner time is over!

Then, a group of people shouted loudly, brandishing their own big swords or axes, followed behind Galen, and rushed towards the gate of Stratholme at a high speed...

In one of the supply depots at the ground base, little Annie was sitting at a square table in the communal dining room, gorging on her supper.

Although the taste of these fast-growing fast-growing plants or the meat animals cultivated on the Hope is not very good, some are even synthetic protein meat?

However, under the skill of the chefs, and under the cover of those seasonings, the taste is not bad, no matter how you say it, it is better than in the last world, when she was in the Caribbean, she ate Those dark dishes, but they are so much better!

Therefore, Annie reluctantly came here to eat a little bit from time to time, anyway, it was provided for free, and she didn't want her money!

"Annie? Today, why are you eating here alone? Galen, and Darius and his fellows?"

At this time, Doug, the commander of the base, also came here to eat.

When Doug found out that on weekdays, those people who could almost see a group of people frolicking and eating and drinking were gone for the first time. Out of curiosity, she walked to Annie's with a plate full of food. At this table, she sat gracefully opposite Little Annie, who was chomping down on her meal and was not yet in good shape.

"Standing down...training face...."

Little Annie, who was gnawing on the big drumstick of a fast-growing broiler, spoke inarticulately.

After taking two bites, little Annie looked at the chicken leg with a bit of disgust. The taste of this stuff is always the same, and it has always been the same!

In the breeding warehouse on the Hope, before everyone on the Hope woke up, the supply of meat products that were manipulated by the intelligent brain Shuguang and cultivated in large quantities is not too much. Only the combat troops can open up the supply. Even if the quality of the meat is not very good, it is still relatively popular, and it is one of the edible non-synthetic meat products that Little Anne can accept.

"Training? Are they usually so active?"

Doug was a little puzzled, when did that guy in the Marine Corps need to train to the point where he forgot to eat and sleep?

Look, it's already halfway through the meal time, and they didn't even come?

"Oh! I remembered, could it be that you gave them special training in cold weapon warfare?"

After Doug thought for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Before, after sending away the captain's armored transport spaceship, Darius had told her about this incident, as if... It was the special training called cold weapons, right?

It seems that there is also some kind of special weapon? Or was it provided by this magical little girl in front of me?

"Yeah... it's spicy!"

After wiping her mouth with her oily little hands, Annie continued to chew the food stuffed in her mouth, and nodded vaguely in response.

"..."

Then, she thought about it and looked around her.

After being reminded by Aunt Doug just now, she finally came to her senses: In the cafeteria today, there doesn't seem to be any rascals like Darius and Galen who like to share their own food?

So, can you secretly eat something delicious?

hey-hey……

After thinking about it, Little Annie quickly threw away the chicken leg, and took out a big roasted lynx leg from her space pocket, and started gnawing on it again.

Today, without that rascal, should I be able to have a good meal?

"But, Anne... Will cold weapons really work for our marines?"

Doug was thinking about things just now, but he didn't even notice, where did little Annie's big barbecue piece come from?

So, she just moved her nostrils curiously, smelling the charming fragrance, while continuing to ask questions that confused her.

She still felt that it might be better to use a rifle to deal with the bugs on this planet! As for the means of close combat, if it is not a last resort, it is better not to use it casually, it will increase the casualty rate!

"Don't tell me...the hotness depends on...the effect of their training!"

Continuing to gnaw on the salt and pepper bobcat leg in her hand, little Annie dealt with it casually without raising her head.

How would she know if there was such a question? Anyway, she was just playing around on a whim!

As for what can be achieved in the end, it depends on the training effect of the big guy Galen and the big black Darius.

If they can clear the real mode of the Stratholme dungeon, they must have at least the strength of a paladin or warrior hero, right?

At that time, it will definitely come in handy!

If a full twenty paladins and fighters of the heroic rank really fought face to face, it is estimated that even she herself, a demigod mage, would have to run away quickly, right?

As for when they will be able to clear Stratholme, only Varimathras knows...

Anyway, that big bat should be the last boss in the dungeon, right?

That kind of thing is just something that Little Anne can kill casually by herself. I hope that big guy Galen and the others can take down each other sooner?

With the weapons she set up, plus the function of not being afraid of death in the game, Little Annie felt that after countless attempts, as long as they were not too stupid, they could barely find the right way to clear the level within a year or two. Strong qualified.

It's a pity, what she didn't know was that the 20 bastards from the Marine Corps had already rushed to Stratholme city after only half an hour of fighting each other...

"By the way, little Annie, your barbecue is..."

While eating the tasteless food on his dinner plate, and smelling the wonderful aroma from the opposite side, Commander Doug finally couldn't help but speak.

So, after she stopped the movement in her hand, she looked at the hind leg of the animal in Little Annie's hand with some doubts, which had already eaten most of it off.

Doug was very puzzled by the burnt yellow and oily crispy skin and the breathtaking and strange fragrance.

She should... She has never seen such barbecue food in the cafeteria, has she?

Or... Could it be that I just missed something in the self-service area of ​​the cafeteria? Didn't pay attention to see it?

"What barbecue?! No more barbecue!"

As soon as she heard the other party ask this, little Annie's eyes immediately changed.

Wouldn't it be another rascal who wanted to share his own food?

It does look a bit like it...

Then, after staring at the other party vigilantly, she tore off the last piece of meat from the lynx's leg and swallowed it into her stomach. After turning around, she hurriedly took the empty dinner plate , jumped directly from the seat.

"Okay, Aunt Doug, I'm full, goodbye!!"

Fearing that the other party would be like that big guy Galen, who came to find little Annie for something to eat, he hurriedly carried the plate and ran to the recycling area of ​​the cafeteria.

"..."

strangeness!

Doug stared at the back of the other party dumbfounded. She had no idea what the hell this little kid was doing?

She just wanted to ask her where she found that kind of barbecue in the self-service area, and then she wanted to get some of it herself!

That kid, why are you so nervous? It's not that I want to grab food from her!

"..."

"..."

At this moment, in the game, outside the bridgehead of Stratholme, Galen and Darius, the group of twenty marines that Little Annie and Commander Doug talked about just now, are looking at each other dully.

Just now, they were full of confidence and felt that they could clear the entire dungeon before the meal was over, and they were taught a lesson alive by the cruel reality!

Bloody lesson!

More than ten minutes ago, after they put on the armored power combat suit and rushed into the city, just when they had time to cut down some zombies and skeletons, they were led by a group of smaller ghouls The ghoul was easily knocked to the ground, and sent twenty fresh and sweet meats to the other party for free...

In the end, after the other party left with a full stomach and belched, the dungeon was reset by the brain, and they were resurrected and returned to the bridgehead.

"Draius...just now, how long have we been in the city...?"

Looking at the huge wooden and iron structure gate in the distance, Galen felt that his self-confidence seemed to have been hit by some kind of huge and cruel blow, and he urgently needed comfort.

"It should be... about ten minutes..."

Darius said with a dark face.

He looked at the current time, and then thought about the time when he was waiting for others to set off when the meal started, so he easily came up with a relatively accurate number.

"Ha! That's not bad. Anyway, we have persisted for ten minutes?"

Galen smiled a little awkwardly, and comforted everyone with a self-hypnotic voice.

Although they still failed in the end, and they didn't attack many meters into the city, but at least they managed to persist in the city for ten minutes, right?

This is a huge improvement!

Galen felt that they must not be depressed because of this, they should make persistent efforts, and next time... try to persist for half an hour without destroying the group?

Anyway, at this point, Galen temporarily has no hope of clearing the entire dungeon before the meal is over!

He only hoped that after a while, after the start of the next attack, they could last longer?

"Galen..."

Darius looked at Galen with a trembling corner of his mouth, a little hesitant to speak, as if he didn't really want to hit him?

"We were inside just now, and we only lasted for a minute at most... Then, those monsters, it took us nearly nine minutes to eat us up..."

Although he didn't want to dampen Galen's enthusiasm, Darius still told the truth expressionlessly.

Thinking of what happened just now, Darius still felt a little terrified.

That kind of monster is too terrifying, right?

The ghoul that just wiped out 20 of its own people was not a huge, powerful, or invulnerable monster, but just, just extremely fast...

How fast?

Fast forward to them, just seeing each other, before they had time to react, they were accelerated by the monster, and then quickly interspersed in the team. In less than ten seconds, all of them tore off their armor and turned them over. on the ground...

Thinking of the speed at which the other party quickly intersected between the twenty of them, with almost no figure in sight, and then thinking about its terrifying sharp claws, tearing through the weak parts of the armor one by one and pulling out the group of them He couldn't help trembling with the feeling of despair when he felt his internal organs, and he was about to urinate...

Fortunately, this kind of extremely fast monster only exists in the game...

"Ah... So, we were inside just now, did we only stay for a minute?"

Galen, who wanted to continue to mobilize morale, froze involuntarily after hearing this.

Later, Galen thought, perhaps, it was because the dungeon was too difficult?

So, do you want to order Suguang to change this dungeon from the real difficulty mode to the difficult or normal mode? Or, just switch to the lowest simple mode and try?

Decided! That's the way it should be done!

"Everyone, don't be discouraged! After all, we are all newbies, and this failure is actually within our plan!"

Thinking through, Galen began to turn to face the others and mobilized again.

"So! Later, let's start with the easiest mode first! Everyone, you have to believe: we will be able to clear this copy of Stratholme's simple mode this time! We will definitely!!"

"You must believe: We are the strongest Marine Corps on the Hope! There is no one! Victory will always belong to us!"

A leader who cannot open his eyes and tell lies is not a good leader!

So, after a lot of nonsense, and seeing everyone's morale mobilized by his nonsense, Galen nodded in satisfaction, and immediately asked Zhinao Shuguang to change the difficulty of the dungeon to the real difficulty mode. , Adjusted to the lowest and lowest gear!

Galen felt that in this case, they should be able to pass the level this time, right?
