Chapter 83 Trap
A craftsman, a scholar, and a mercenary. Shure didn't remember their names. He liked to use his memory in more important places and was too lazy to remember these unimportant things. However, he remembered the faces of the three people. Although their clothes were the same, he still distinguished three different identities.
Research, labor, combat, three completely different identities, but when facing a life-and-death crisis, the reaction is surprisingly consistent, the cry for help in despair, the struggle in vain, and the gaze of extreme fear.
"Continue to advance, just as if I didn't see it." Xiu turned his back and stopped looking back at the faces of the three people. The car under him had recovered its balance and finally returned to its original speed. In just a few seconds, he could shake off the screams behind him and never see the upcoming tragedy.
No one answered, no one spoke. Everyone knows that we can't blame Xiu's cold-bloodedness. We finally rushed out of the ground thorn formation and threw a large group of insects behind us. As soon as we stopped, we would not only fall back into the surroundings of the insects, but also more ground thorns would surround us in front and ambush. Once we lost the advantage of flexible maneuvers, facing the endless insects, everyone would only have a dead end.
On one side are thirty living people, and on the other side are three lives that are as dangerous as eggs. Which one is more important? Perhaps everyone has different ideas in their hearts. However, in the eyes of the commander of the army, there is only one view, not to abandon or give up? That is just a fairy tale. To save a few, others who entrust their lives to themselves to death, is the commander’s greatest shame.
"I'll go and save you, you guys." Dak stopped the nightmare beast and had already left the ground thorn area. The pressure was much lower, so he could act independently.
"You can't save it."
"I can save one, at least that mercenary should be alive." Dark turned his horse's head, "I am a knight and a nobleman."
The nobles defend the people and the knights protect life. This is a spirit formed as early as the pioneering era. After thousands of years, many things have deteriorated, but occasionally there are fools who stick to their beliefs in their hearts.
"I said, keep moving forward." Shuer scolded expressionlessly.
"Sorry, I'm disobedient." Dark lifted his face and showed an apology expression. The mount started jogging, "You go, I'll come later."
"This is a trap, you idiot."
"I know." With a faint smile, Dark covered the armor again and began to accelerate, and the voice could only be heard from the communicator. "They have not yet made a dying scream, which has already explained the problem. The bugs just want to use them as a trap to lure us to save people, but I still want to go. Don't worry, I will come back."
"You xx know nothing." Seeing that the communication had been cut off, Shuer suddenly burst into a vulgar words, "I mean literally, idiot, continue to rush in at full speed, who cares about him, Wei, Dark's image, I'm going to watch him die, this bastard."
The mercenaries slaughtered the bugs in front of the convoy without saying a word. Although Shuer's misnomer behavior was ridiculous, no one could laugh. It doesn't matter whether it was right or wrong, it was just a conflict between two beliefs. In fact, as a priest, Shuer was also in pain. Mia was even a little lucky that she was not going to face such a choice.
It's so painful, Dark is just an idiot. I wish you a third leg broken by a bug. Don't worry, I will make a mistake when I treat it. Shuer's heart is cursing crazy.
In the image, Dak had already rushed into the swarm of insects, and the steel armor turned into a moving fortress. For a moment, the insects could not hurt him at all. In the center of the swarm of insects, three victims fell to the ground and covered in blood. Each of them had been torn a few times by the swarm, which looked shocking, but fortunately, at least they were still alive.
"Go on the horse." The blood rose turned into a hook lock and pulled up the victim on the ground, one placed in front of him, the other fixed behind him, and the remaining one was held in his hand, "Go back together."
Dak did a good job, and he could indeed save all three of them. Although he weighed hundreds of kilograms more, with the ability of the Nightmare Beast, he would be stressed out that he would carry three more people.
"Stand by." Blood Rose turned into a knight's sword. Dark swung his sword continuously to kill the surrounding insects, allowing the Nightmare Beast to adjust the direction, "Hold on me, I'm going to speed up."
However, just as the Nightmare Beast was about to start, a sudden change occurred. The three rescued victims were originally holding Dak's body tightly, but suddenly turned to the side with force. Suddenly, and with great power, they dragged Dak off the horse, who was unprepared.
The insects around them seemed to have been prepared, and pounced on them while Dake fell down. In a blink of an eye, they piled up high piles, which could crush the people below to death. The waving limbs, ferocious appearance, and acid liquid that was sprayed from afar. In order to attack Dake, the strange snakes and insects even ignored the accidental injury and directly spitted out the most densely populated areas of the insect cluster.
"Idiot, idiot." On the other end of the image, Shuer knew that Dark couldn't hear it, but he still gritted his teeth and scolded, "You must tell me directly, you can understand?"
The image is enlarged, and the high-level mercenaries can see it with their excellent eyesight. Only then did everyone remember that there seemed to be spies in the team controlled by the brainworm. What's ridiculous is that Shuer originally planned to keep the brainworm who passed the error message to deceive the queen of the swarm, but he actually took the lead and deceived his own people first.
"Bang", the hill formed by the insect swarm suddenly exploded, and countless blood-colored raindrops seemed like dense rain of arrows, piercing most of the insects' bodies. Dak's armor was corroded by acid, and the skin and muscles burned by liquid were exposed in many places. His face was pale as paper. The blood-colored rose in his hand was gone, and the blood-colored raindrops that exploded were from this.
Blood Rose Tears, this is Dak's life-saving skill. It consumes huge energy to blow up Blood Rose and launches a high-intensity coverage attack. With his own energy plus the energy inside the Blood Rose, even a legendary strong man will suffer severe injuries even if he endured it head-on. Unfortunately, the consumption is too great, so his face is quite ugly now.
However, the effect was also significant. Within a few dozen square meters around him, a group of insects was blown up, with holes everywhere. The three human corpses with cut throats were closest to each other, and the most injured were the ones, and even the human figures could hardly be distinguished.
Dak leaped onto the Nightmare Beast again, stretched his palm, and the blood-colored metal fragments flew into his hand like life, turning into a beautiful rose again, and spat fiercely with a stern face. Dak swung a bloody fighting spirit at the insects that were rushing towards him again. The Nightmare Beast spread its speed and chased towards the convoy.
"Idiot." After leaving the ground thorn position, the tank's artillery fire re-entered the battle, and the convoy's speed also decreased. In addition, the Nightmare Beast's speed was fast enough. Dark caught up with the convoy not long after. Shuer just glared at him fiercely and snorted heavily, "Return to the team."
"Sorry." With a slight breath, Dark waved to Shul, "I'm back."
"snort."
Shuer didn't say much nonsense because he knew that Dark had actually done nothing wrong. If he asked the convoy to go with him to rescue him, it would definitely be an unforgivable mistake, but he did not ask for it, but went alone.
He is responsible for his own actions. This is an unwritten rule by the mercenaries. Saving people is his own choice, and the betting is his own life. Whether it is success or failure, it has nothing to do with others, so no one can say that he did something wrong. Moreover, he did not know that those people were spies controlled by brain-controlling bugs. Not only him, but even Shuer could not be sure of it. He just judged that this was a trap based on the situation. Dark did not judge it, so he paid the price for it.
The reason why Shure was really angry was actually because of Dark's suspicion of him. I said not to go. This is a trap. Why can't you trust me? Since I agreed to give my life to me and I will command the team, why can't I give me more trust? In your eyes, I am so untrustworthy?
"But you didn't trust him either. You never reminded him about brain-controlling bugs. Even if it was inconvenient to remind him just now, what about before departure? If you don't trust him, why do you ask him to think you are trustworthy?"
Idiot Lin Jing, don't guess what I'm thinking casually. Shuer gave Moria a blank look in the distance, and hum, forget it, I'm too lazy to get angry with this idiot.
"All three?"
"Yeah." Keep walking side by side with the truck, Dark nodded with a wry smile, "I miscalculated and I won you one step."
"Hmph, the Lord said, don't talk to me, I'm afraid of lowering my IQ." Shuer blatantly tampered with the holy words, "Everyone is cheering up. This is good news. Since the queen of the swarm has used up her trump card in order to keep us, it means that we have passed the most difficult hurdle. Look at the vehicle and the bacteria blanket, we have already stepped on the bacteria blanket."
The high-level mercenaries are fighting hard to ensure smooth roads, and they are also wary of insect swarms catching up from behind and hurting passengers in the car. They have devoted all their experiences. Shuer did not remind him or even found out. At some point, the color under the car had changed from brown to purple, which means that it was not far from the destination.
"Wei, how far is it?"
"Three to four kilometers, maintain the current speed, and arrive in seven minutes and twenty seconds."
"Hear or not, hold on for another seven minutes and you will win."
I didn't hear it, but who can understand what you are talking about?
The mercenaries expressed contempt in their hearts, but they could understand the last Pavatiga common word. In seven minutes, it seemed that victory was right in front of them.
"Yuyou, Youyou, I can already see the mound." Jumping to the highest point of the tank, Lin Jing let out a crisp cry, "But, what is that? I haven't seen it before."
"What?" Shuer was stunned, but he no longer needed to look at it. A few spiral-shaped spikes that were much thicker than the previous ones suddenly drilled out of the ground and accurately pierced the front of the heavy truck. The reinforced chassis could not stop the spikes from penetrating through, and were nailed to the spot on the spikes. All the weight of the truck carried inertia and was applied to the spikes, but the spikes remained motionless. You can imagine how solid it was.
