32. The less you wear, the higher your defense

As the operation progressed, the team’s nominal guide, Paimon, began to have his eyes spinning around, and he couldn’t remember which opening they had come out from yesterday.

After Alan sent the secret key to Ester, he planned to help guide her, but he stared at the scanner for two minutes and didn’t know where to start.

Not to mention them, the intricate pipes in the containment section made Kong Du think for a moment that he had returned to that damn place called the “back room”. The threshold-space-like corridor structure was filled with weird-core-like absurdity and a hint of unpleasant familiarity.

Too much experience is not necessarily a good thing. For example, the strange experience of “never drink iced tea under a crane” must have come from tragedy, and the PTSD caused by the disordered corridor space also corresponds to the fact that Sora had gotten lost many times in the past.

Due to the interference of strange objects, the maps provided by the system are like a dead knot, giving me a headache just by looking at them.

“Damn, it’s so similar… I always feel like one or two Laughing Nightmares or Death Moths will suddenly appear around the corner…”

“Have you been to a similar place before?” Seeing that Kong looked a little strange, Eula put her hand on his shoulder, hoping to calm him down with the warmth of her palm.

“Not only have I been there, I was also lost in there for more than a year… For more than a year, I was constantly hunted by various monsters. It seemed that there would never be an end to the levels, the harsh environment, and the people with ulterior motives…”

Sora quickly suppressed his own thoughts: “That’s not a heartwarming story. I think it’s more suitable for scaring children before bed.”

“Mr. Kong, have you ever been to many planets with harsh environments to accept bounties?”

After placing the order, she found out that it would take at least a month for Heston to deliver the goods to their star region. Estelle could only sigh that things were not going well and shifted her attention back.

Unfortunately, Sora didn’t plan to continue chatting with her:

“You can understand it that way. Ah, Station Master, we are about to enter the distorted space. The communication will be interrupted for a while. I will call you back after confirming that everything is fine.”

“Well, I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Woo!”

Fortunately, Wuwubo was able to contact his own kind. With their help, even if he couldn’t find the strange object that disrupted the space, the huge number of Wuwubo people was enough to form an absolutely safe transportation network and avoid dead ends.

Each Wuwuber is a symbol of activity. When the Wuwuber next to Kong reached a deal with Kong, all the Wuwubers in the entire space station became their helpers, making the road clear.

“In a world full of malice, even if one simply adheres to the principle of equal exchange, one can be called ‘kind’.”

Sora raised his gun while admiring Wuwubo’s cooperation.

With physical strength greatly enhanced, the power of AK may not be worth mentioning, but it is still valuable as a tentative means of long-range attack.

“Brother Kong, I wanted to ask you this before… If you don’t have a handy weapon, it wouldn’t hurt to get a few sets from the Defense Department… This gun should be well maintained and kept.”

Alan’s eyelids twitched when he saw Kong pulling the bolt. The people in the defense department had the same opinion as Ji Zi. Kong’s reckless use of gunpowder weapons was basically the same as hitting people with a priceless antique, and the bullets were made of copper. It was a huge waste.

How many credit points has copper increased to per gram now? Alan only remembered that it was quite expensive. No wonder Kong had to take on so many jobs to maintain his team’s expenses!

“Alan, this is a man’s romance. And I found that the shield of the virtual soldier has limited effect in reducing the damage of pure kinetic weapons.”

“The standard shield of the virtual soldier is mainly used to resist single-molecule penetration, particle weapons, and lasers. It is indeed unable to effectively defend against physical ammunition…but.”

Alan paused.

“What but?”

“Physical ammunition is too logistical. Even if we fight at home, it is difficult to ensure the supply of ammunition in the space station. Besides, Brother Kong, your gun is much more effective in damaging antimatter plating than the kinetic weapons I know of… It must be the blessing of the Star God that makes it so powerful. Ordinary people will never have such a good killing effect with guns.”

Poked it, this is the confidence of a single-point headshot in one second, not the blessing of the Star God.

Of course, if Alan was explained why AK often kills humanoid monsters with one shot, which is almost a rule, he might not understand. So Kong simply handed him a flash bomb and put an end to his confusion:

“Uncle Wuwu said that we will reach the courtyard if we go forward. Your hand has not fully recovered yet, so you cannot participate in the frontal battle. Just give us assistance. The usage of this thing is similar to your pulse stun grenade, and the blinding effect is even better. The enemy is a trampler. You know what to do.”

“Phew, no problem. At least I can still help.”

Sora made an OK gesture, then crouched down and lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly, keeping it within a reaction range where he could raise the gun and shoot at any time.

“Eula, now that I’ve recovered a little better, I can squander my energy at will. I’ll do the scout work, and you’ll be in charge of holding the line. If the confrontation between Trampler and Woowoober causes it to reveal its back to us, we’ll attack together. Follow my gestures. Paimon, prepare the smoke bomb. If the situation changes, we’ll need you to cover our retreat.”

“Let’s hope it’s not so bad that we need to evacuate.”

Paimon muttered to himself as he picked up the smoke bomb. Eula rolled up her sleeves. She didn’t look like she was getting ready for a big fight, but rather she was tidying up and getting ready to wash her hands.

As for why she didn’t wear arm armor and was still not afraid of a conflict with the virtual soldiers – Alan had taken out three sets of shield generators from the armory earlier and lent them to them. This generator was like a pin, hanging on Eula’s and Paimon’s headdresses and was not noticeable at all, but after their testing, this thing had a good protective effect against the virtual soldiers’ arm blades that could cut through iron like mud. The protective energy formed on the body surface was like a fluid, which was much tougher than pure metal arm armor, saving a lot of weight and allowing Eula to move more flexibly.

No wonder these security guards weren’t wearing heavy armor—they thought.

“With the shield, I can go for a lighter armament plan in the future.”

Ms. Lawrence turned her wrists and ankles, and the greatsword that appeared out of thin air immediately occupied her hands, and then she leaned against the corner of the wall with Songlai in her hand.

“You were a light-armored swordsman before, but your primary weapon was heavier.”

“I thought you were going to say I’ve gained weight, too.”

Hearing the two people in front of him flirting unconsciously, Paimon pouted at Alan, who was not used to such a relaxed pre-war atmosphere, indicating that the two of them had been doing this all the time. Then, holding the smoke bomb, he slowly flew to the top of the place that he didn’t know whether to call it the floor or the ceiling and began to wait for a long time –

33. Sinai! !

“Woo!”

Just as Wuwubo, who was holding a paper in his mouth, said, the “leader” among them was confronting Nanook’s pawns.

The combat effectiveness of these Protoss subspecies is not strong, but unless you master the means to kill spirits, there is no good way to deal with them with ordinary attacks.

Sora, who was hiding behind the self-opening door, saw with his own eyes the iron hooves of the Void Trampler pass through the body of Wuwubo, which was as big as a large hot air balloon, and land on the repulsion bridge on the other side. He almost lost control and fell off the cliff.

Although he really wanted to complain about why the Black Tower Space Station was designed with such a dangerous bridge section, Uncle Wuwu actually took advantage of the dangerous terrain and found a good way to get around it, and persisted until Kong and the others arrived at the scene.

It seemed as if the endless fight had worn out the Trampler’s patience. It quickly turned its horse around and raised the longbow in its hand. The annihilation energy accumulated at the tip of the arrow made Kongdu, who was far away, feel threatened, and also made the large-sized Wuwuber neigh uneasily.

Although his strength has greatly increased, Kong, who has always been cautious, does not want to try how painful it would be to take an arrow without opening the test qualification. He raised the hand that was supporting the wall and quickly made a single-finger horizontal gesture to Alan, then clenched his fist and unclenched it, and the reminder in the mental link did not fall:

“Eula, I’ll be in front and you’ll be behind, ten steps apart. Focus on attacking the hind legs. I’ll go out and feint first, and then close the distance from both sides. Alan will dodge and Paimon will stand by!”

If Hol Haiya also went on a mission today, there would be one more controller in the team, but considering Hol Haiya’s lazy state “after meal”, it would be better not to bet on whether she would be distracted by this… Anyway, two people are enough.

“3, 2, 1… out!”

The moment the gesture returned to zero, Kong squeezed out from the gap of the broken self-opening door, like a nimble golden cat. After being pulled diagonally out less than two meters, he began to sprint forward, running and shooting AK at the same time, showing his full faith.

“Boom!”

The recoil of the assault rifle was controlled very well. Even though the accuracy was reduced, the Trampler, who was about to shoot an arrow, had several sparks burst out from above his head, causing his head to tilt.

When the shield has not been reduced yet – or perhaps after the compatibility report came out in the early morning, Party A corrected the rules that AK brought from the CSGO world, the damage effect of the bullet does not seem as outrageous as before.

But Kong achieved his goal. He successfully diverted Xu Zu’s attention from Wuwu Bo to himself. The arrow tip that was fully charged with power also deviated and shot out of his hand towards Wuwu Bo’s mimic ear.

“Woo!”

The energy of annihilation actually had an effect on psychic creatures. Just by being scratched a little, a corner of Wuwubo’s ear was missing. In Kong’s perception, although the gap recovered quickly, his overall psychic level also dropped a lot.

If Kong had not rushed out to divert attention, the leader of Wuwuber would most likely have been seriously injured. His judgment was accurate. The annihilation energy could still have an impact on spirits.

[Now playing “Trigger Point”]

The system’s battle music started playing with a delay, announcing the official start of the conflict. Kong, who was running and fighting, timed his movements according to the rhythm of the music. At the same time when Eula was stuck at a distance of ten steps and turned out, Alan threw the flash bomb that had been unsafeted in advance straight out from behind the door with his backhand.

The moment Xu Zu’s gaze turned to Kong and Eula, the flash that had not yet landed on the ground burst out behind the two of them, illuminating it completely. The arm holding the bow waved wildly, trying to dispel the stinging and blinding white. Even the big Wuwubo who didn’t understand the situation was blinded by the flash.

But the two people who stepped on the light completely dodged, and only saw a pale scene in front of them – Alan had a good control of the throwing distance, and he was not the head of the defense department for nothing.

“The blinding time of the flashbang should also be reduced! We need to fix it quickly!!”

“You on the right and I on the left?”

“You left me right!”

He threw the AK back on his shoulder, picked up the axe that was attached to his back like a magnet, accelerated and slid past the right front leg of the Xuzuo, attacking his hind leg directly.

It was as if what he had cut was not the horse’s leg, but the carapace of the Originium worm. Kong’s whole body was tilted by the recoil. The shield relieved most of Kong’s impact, but he did not stop there. After making a gap in the leg armor, he used the shield-wrapped hind hoof of the virtual soldier as a bearing and the axe handle as a turning rod, and rotated more than 200 degrees to hit the horse’s butt of the virtual soldier.

Even though he was no longer an immortal, Kong still had a strong obsession with stabbing the enemy’s ASS. After all, that meant higher damage, even if the opponent was not a humanoid monster.

“Ruthless Iron Hand!”

Using the battle axe skills he learned from who knows where, Kong pulled the half-kneeling Xu Zu’s anti-joint further backwards, knocking it to the ground all of a sudden, causing it to lose the balance of the entire right half of its body.

“Crippling blow!”

The young man pulled the axe blade away from the anti-joint and slashed it hard at the huge horse’s butt.

Two deep wounds broke the “round” beauty of the trampler in one slash.

“scare!”

Exactly two seconds, which was exactly the same as Kong’s judgment. Because the compatibility was judged to be “poor”, the blinding time of the flash bomb was shortened.

The Trampler finally figured out what was happening behind it, but as it was furious and preparing to turn around to grab, Eula launched a coordinated attack from ten steps away, coming from the direction of its left leg.

“Drink!”

There was a sharp sound, and the icy wind wrapped in frost flowers made the trampler shiver unconsciously. The hoof subconsciously raised back, but the horse’s belly still felt numb, and the left side could not maintain balance, and the action of getting up failed again.

“Sora, I didn’t cut its legs!”

“It doesn’t matter – kill them all!”

In order to make up for Eula’s attack error, Kong followed the action that Eula used to deal with the Trampler, jumped onto its back, and swung the axe blade in a full circle towards the connection between the human figures.

At this point, the Trampler’s shield finally couldn’t withstand the continuous physical damage, and the fluid energy on its surface shattered into golden light fragments.

“Nisunai! Hey!!”

Seeing the opportunity when the shield’s energy was overloaded, Kong jumped high from the horse’s back and pierced the opponent’s head fiercely!

With this axe, Kong’s entire appearance changed. Eula and Alan, who was watching the battle from a distance, seemed to see that the lines on Kong’s body became extremely blurred, full of messy black and white auxiliary lines and dirty lines, like a wild comic draft. In the next frame, the human form of the Xu Zu was split into two halves, and he had no time to struggle too much.

[Ace! Sora has killed the most enemies! Exclusive MVP music is playing: “Everybody Dies In Their Nightmares”! ]

34. The Book of Resistance

“You’ve recovered quite well, Sora.”

Staring blankly at the young man who was standing on horseback with the axe on his shoulders, Eula felt happy but also a little lost.

Of course, he wasn’t confused by the strange names of Kong’s moves. He was just sighing that his strength had recovered so well. Did it mean that even without his help, he could live comfortably here alone?

“I’m afraid of my friends suffering, and I’m also afraid of my friends driving a Land Rover” describes this mentality, except that Eula’s version is filled with love.

“Well, although most of the power of becoming a Commander has been absorbed by the system, my body has also been strengthened. I just moved around for a while and I feel pretty good. There is nothing wrong with me except that I can’t fly.”

Kong didn’t give Eula the chance to continue feeling melancholy. The axe on his shoulder fell again, stabbing along the center line of the centaur’s body, causing the naturally dissipated corpse of the trampler to disappear a little faster.
