Chapter 228: Demacia and Noxus Project (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 were squatting boredly beside a hidden boulder pile with guns on guard.
They stayed here because they were ordered by Captain 031 to guard the riggings here, and they must ensure the safety of the riggings within three hours before they return.
Otherwise, when the four or five of them who have gone down return, they will not be able to get up without the help of this rig!
And because of the strong magnetic field, the transport plane couldn't get too close to this canyon.
Therefore, if there is any problem with these two sets of rigging, then those of them are likely to be trapped in the bottom of the valley.
And this Grand Canyon, the fissure underneath, is really a bit narrow, a bit too deep, and crooked. There is really no way to use a flying jet device to forcefully fly up. Whether it is going down or up, it is only You can use the downhill rig to help you climb.
Except for 035 and 036 who were guarding the rope drop device above the canyon, the other 18 people, after checking their weapons and equipment, all descended one by one into the deep cracks in the canyon below.
"Captain? We're probably hundreds of meters deep, right? How long will it take?"
Now, the eighteen marines are slanting downwards, along the twisted gravel crack path. They have walked for nearly half an hour, and they barely penetrated more than a thousand meters. .
Then, after getting deeper and deeper, a player who walked in the second place with 039 on his chest finally couldn't help asking the leader who walked in front.
Now he went deeper and deeper, and his heart became more panicked as he went. Thinking about those unmanned detectors that were inexplicably missing, he felt a burst of hair in his heart.
He felt that Commander Doug of the base, she guilty of sending them to investigate and understand what is inside this canyon rift?
Now that you know that there are bugs inside, just let the drone bring some self-explosive bombs or wait until the produced fusion bombs come down.
He knows that outside the ground base command center, a nuclear bomb silo has been transformed by SCV. The tactical-level fusion intercontinental missile must have been included in the production list, right?
"Don't say anything! Be patient, we still have half of the journey, as long as we reach a place that the drones cannot reach, after some investigation, if there is no special discovery, we can immediately return the same way!"
In fact, Captain 031 is also a little trembling in his heart, but since he has taken on this field investigation mission cruelly, he will always have to go!
This time they came here, in addition to the nominal investigation, they actually had another more important secret mission, but no one else knew it.
And once he discovers that there is really a large-scale insect swarm below, he is likely to execute another set of action plans!
Therefore, he continued to take the lead and walked in the forefront while invigorating the players.
"Attention, everyone. Keep up. In the front is the electromagnetic disturbance zone! At that time, the communication may not work well. If you can not speak, please keep quiet! None of us knows where, in the end, What is there..."
Whispering in a low voice, Captain 031 took the lead while continuing to walk toward the rift that was diagonally downward.
The current depth is about to reach the predetermined chaotic zone.
The Marines in their line have already seen their electronic equipment, which seems to have something abnormal.
The holographic images in everyone's helmets unexpectedly began to jump inexplicably...
Therefore, after making a final confession and letting the people behind to follow up, he took the lead to continue walking.
"..."
After a while, everyone's equipment, including the captain, except for the power armor and lighting equipment, which have rough skin and no precision electronic equipment, are not affected by the strange magnetic field. Other high-end equipment, Including radar, camera equipment, night vision equipment, communications, etc., all have been severely disturbed.
Obviously, now, they have entered the final area of ​​their mission objectives.
Because, they had already seen that the downhill road in front had slowly become widened, and, in a corner, they had also discovered the wreckage of an unmanned reconnaissance device that was clearly a product of Hope.
It seems...it was torn apart by violence?
"Everyone, check the weapons one last time, we are about to enter the mission target area!"
Without the help of communication equipment, Captain 031 sighed while muffled directly in the mask.
Although the planet has an atmosphere and sounds can spread in the air, his words are a bit dull due to the completely enclosed mask. The team behind cannot hear exactly what their captain said. It can only be guessed based on the actions of the people in front and the captain's tactical gestures that are not standard.
"Okay! Everyone, keep going, keep quiet, and don't speak loudly!"
After seeing that everyone had completed the final check of the equipment according to his orders, 031 nodded, and after a dull last sentence, he took the lead in going forward.
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 looking at the ground, they followed the teammates in front...
The difference from other citizens on the Hope game platform for various confrontations or equipment training is: in this special copy of Stratholme that Xiao Anni asked Zhi Brain to make based on her memory and requirements, Galen and De The members of the two teams of Lyus are in the open space outside Stratholme Bridge. You come and I practice their skills in using cold weapons.
They were splitting into a group of two, each shouting funny slogans of "De Marcia" or "Noxus", and then flashed with golden light energy or blood red anger, catching each other and slashing. With.
Sometimes, someone accidentally cuts off half of his body by a big sword...
Or, someone staggered and reacted a little slow, and then he was chopped off by a blood-red ax...
All kinds of blood and internal organs flowed out of the bridge, and then they were quickly flushed away.
But in fact, they are not so much training as it is that they are not really dead in the holographic simulation game. They are holding a murder weapon and hacking them out of nowhere?
In the last second, the opponent who was cut in half by an axe, after being refreshed in the next second, joined the battle again, it was so lively!
For veterans like them who have been trained many times, in the game, except for a little bit of low-intensity simulated pain at the moment of being cut, there will not be too much discomfort, and they are usually trained by shells. The feeling when it is blown up is no different.
In this regard, they have long been used to it.
"Hey! Dreyus, let's not fight for now? I think, now we are almost mastering the essentials of weapons! Or, let's try to open up this Stratholme?"
After fighting each other for nearly half an hour, they became more and more adaptable to this kind of big sword and big axe weapons, and when they shouted slogans, they became more and more smooth!
Correspondingly, the response feedback of the special energy on the weapon has become more and more solid.
So, Galen thinks, how boring they are to catch each other and kill each other like this?
Then why don't you go to the city early and try to practice with those undead?
Anyway, Galen feels that they have basically mastered the strange energy feedback from these cold weapons and weapons. He also feels that now, he can beat ten of his own in the past, and he will never be like before. , Was easily torn apart by those undead!
Therefore, with his self-confidence extremely inflated, he decided: While everyone is in the mood now, simply pass this so-called Stratholme copy in one go?
Those ghouls and abominations don’t seem to be so difficult to deal with, right?
Besides, they are different now from just now. They have basically grasped these powers beyond mortals now!
"Enter the city now... are you sure?"
When Dreyus heard Galen's call to stop, he took two steps back, holding his huge two-handed battle axe, and he was a little undecided for a while.
He always felt that if Galen did this, did he seem too impatient?
After all, they have only just trained for half an hour, so it seems that it’s not good to run into the city like this? Who knows how many such evil undead are there?
"What are you afraid of? We are unmatched now!"
Galen proudly swung the big sword in his hand, allowing the golden light on the weapon to slightly cover his half of his body. Does it really look like that?
Anyway, it's just a game, and it won't die, it doesn't hurt to try!
"Yeah, Captain! It's not a problem that we keep practicing like this! Let's go into the city and have a try?"
"agree!"
Some of the players who heard around also stopped one after another and agreed with Galen's resolution.
"Yes, I agree too! Captain, don't you know: Those who just practiced against the old lady are all dirty! They want to take advantage of the old lady all day! Three-way chop!"
A female soldier jumped out at the right time, and loudly condemned Dreyus to those who were practising with her.
Just now, she was chopped in half by their in an extremely nasty way!
"Sister! You misunderstood me!"
"Yes! Every time you raise the axe, it opens and closes. The gaps and flaws below are so big, of course we have to pick the bottom and chop first..."
"That makes sense!"
"Captain, you don't know: She raises the axe so high every time. If we die or chop her down the third lane, then she must be smashed to pieces on the spot!"
"That's right! Seeing that she is about to hack down from above, why don't I stab it? In that case, who cares so much?"
"That's it! I got her neck chopped twice just now!"
Seeing someone complaining about themselves and others, the players who had practiced with this female soldier became a little unhappy, and jumped out to retort.
In this short half-hour training, the female player was split in half, no less than double digits!
Her opponents have changed several batches, and few can stand her invincible violent style of play. It is not practicing at all, but desperate!
Every time, no matter how the opponent is defending or attacking, she always raises the axe high, and then directly cuts it down with force to strike Huashan. The momentum alone can frighten many people. .
Therefore, after they suffered a loss on the female player's axe and got back in revenge, they quickly changed their opponents!
"I also agree, go into the city and clear up Stratholme!"
"Go! Go into the city, go into the city! Everyone open up wasteland!"
"Yes! Destroy the undead in the city, kill them clean!"
"Yes! Into the city!"
"Long live Demacia!!"
"Noxus, unmatched!!!"
A group of Marines who claimed to be invincible in the world stopped their movements and began to noisy loudly.
They are also a little tired of this kind of tedious sparring training. This kind of sparring training, except for killing or being killed by the opponent, has no meaning at all, it is too boring!
Moreover, they were "eaten" by those undead just now, this hatred, it must be reported!
"Well, then go to town!"
Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Delius was not too good to stop him. After thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement.
Left and right is just a training game. If you can't beat it, just turn around and continue to practice later. It's not a big deal anyway.
"Okay! Where is the wisdom brain dawn? Hurry up and put us on armored power combat uniforms. We are going to the city to open up wasteland!"
After obtaining everyone's consent, Galen began to call out the wisdom brain of Hope.
Since they are officially opening up wasteland, they must put on equipment, and they must start attacking the city in a real combat state!
Of course, it is only equipped with combat uniforms. As for the electromagnetic rifle, it is temporarily unnecessary.
"The order has been received!"
Suddenly, Dawn’s electronic composite female voice sounded.
Then, all the Marine Corps members put on their CMC-300/400 armored power combat uniforms in an instant, and turned into twenty interstellar reloaded Paladins armed with great swords or great axes ( Apprentice?) and Warrior (apprentice?).
"Haha! Are you ready? Now, listen to my orders: Start attacking!"
When Stratholme's gate in front of him slowly opened, Galen raised his sword and shouted at the gate.
He decided: They want to rush in, kill all the movable monsters they see, and completely clear this seemingly small city instance before dinner time is over!
Then, a group of people clamored loudly, brandishing their large swords or large axes, followed behind Galen, and rushed in toward Stratholme’s gate together at an accelerated rate...
In a supply station on the ground base, Xiao Annie was sitting at a square table in the public dining room, eating her supper with big mouthfuls.
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 that are considered passable, under the cover of the seasonings, the taste is still good when it is eaten, and it is better than in the previous world, when she had eaten in the Caribbean. Those dark dishes of, but so much better!
Therefore, Annie reluctantly came here from time to time to eat a little, anyway, it was provided for free, and she didn't need her money!
"Anne? Why are you alone in eating here today? Galen, and the fellow Delaeus?"
At this time, Doug, the commander of the base, also came here to eat.
When Doug found out that on weekdays, almost everyone could see a group of people frolicking about eating and drinking. After all was gone, she was curious, carrying a plate full of food, and walked to Annie's. At this table, she sat down and graciously to the opposite side of the little Annie who was eating a lot of food and hadn't had a meal yet.
"Stepping on the boredom... training face..."
Little Annie, who was grabbing the big drumstick of a fast-growing broiler and gnawing at it, said utterly.
After taking two bites, Little Annie looked at this chicken drumstick with disgust, this thing, the taste is always the same, it has always been the same!
In the incubation warehouse on the Hope, before the people on the Hope awakened, the supply of meat products that were manipulated and cultivated in large quantities by the wisdom brain dawn was not too much. Only the combat troops could open the supply. Even if the meat is of poor quality, it is still more popular. It is one of the edible non-synthetic meat products that Xiao Anni can accept.
"Training? Are they always so active?"
Doug was a little puzzled. When does that guy Marines need to train to the point where they can't sleep and eat?
Look, it's been half of the meal time, they didn't even come?
"Oh! I remembered, is it possible that you let them conduct the special training for cold weapon combat?"
After Doug thought for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses.
Before, after sending off the captain's armored transport spacecraft, Dreyus had told her about this, as if...it was the special training for cold weapons, right?
It seems that there is some kind of special weapon? Or was it provided by this magical little girl in front of me?
"Hmm...it's spicy!"
After wiping her mouth with her little oily hand, Annie continued to chew the stuffed food while nodding vaguely.
"..."
Then, she thought for a while, and then looked around her.
She had just been reminded by this Aunt Doug, and finally reacted: There seems to be no rascals like Dreyus and Galen in the cafeteria today?
So, can you secretly eat something delicious?
Hehe...
After thinking about it, Xiao Annie quickly threw away the chicken legs and took out a big roasted lynx leg from her space pocket, and began to gnaw again.
Today, without the rogue guy, should I be able to have a good meal?
"But, Annie...Does the cold weapon really have any effect on our Marine Corps?"
Doug had just thought about things, but he didn't even notice, where did the big piece of barbecue grilled by Little Annie come from?
So, she just moved her nose curiously, smelling the charming fragrance, while continuing to ask questions that confused herself.
She still felt that to deal with the bugs on this planet, a rifle might be better! 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 say anything...spicy depends on...their training effect!"
Continuing to gnaw on the salt-and-pepper lynx's legs on her hand, Xiao Annie dealt with it casually without looking up.
Is there such a question, and where would she know? Anyway, she just played around on a whim!
As for what you can achieve in the end, it depends on the training effect of the big guys Galen and the big Dreyus.
If they can pass the real mode of Stratholme dungeon, they must have at least the strength of a paladin or warrior hero rank, right?
At that time, it will definitely come in handy!
If there are a total of twenty heroes with paladins and warriors, if they really fight face to face, it is estimated that even the demigod mage herself will have to run away quickly, right?
As for when they can pass Stratholme, only Varimathras knows...
Anyway, that big bat should be the last BOSS in the dungeon, right?
That kind of thing is nothing but the stuff that Little Annie can squeeze to death by herself. I hope that the big guys in Galen can win each other soon?
With her own weapons and the ability to not be afraid of death in the game, Xiao Anni felt that after countless attempts, as long as they were not too stupid, within a year or two, she would still be reluctant to find the right way to clear the level. Strongly qualified.
It's a pity that what she didn't know was that the twenty Marines, after only hacking each other for half an hour, could not wait to march into Stratholme...
"By the way, Little Annie, your barbecue is..."
While eating the food on his plate that tasted like chewing wax, while smelling the wonderful aroma on the opposite side, Commander Doug finally couldn't help but speak.
So, after she stopped the movement in her hand, she looked at the one in Little Annie's hand with a bit of doubt, and most of the animal's hind legs had been chewed off.
That kind of brown and shiny crispy skin, that kind of breathtaking strange fragrance, made Doug very puzzled.
She should... have never seen such barbecued food in the cafeteria, right?
Or... Could it be that I just missed something in the cafeteria self-service area? Did not pay attention?
"What barbecue?! There is no barbecue!"
When the other party asked about this, the expression in Xiao Annie's eyes immediately changed.
Wouldn't it be another rascal who wants to share his food?
It really looks a bit like...
Then, after staring at each other vigilantly, she tore off the last piece of meat from the bobcat's leg and swallowed it in her stomach, turning around, and hurriedly carried her empty dinner plate. , Jumped directly from the seat.
"Okay, Aunt Doug, I'm full, goodbye!!"
I was afraid that the other party was as big as that Galen, looking for Little Annie, who was looking for something to eat, hurriedly carrying the dinner plate, and ran to the recovery area of ​​the canteen.
"..."
strange!
Doug stared at the other person's back in a daze. She had no idea what the was this kid doing?
She just wanted to ask her where exactly the kind of barbecue she found in the self-service area, and then she wanted to get some!
Is that little kid so nervous? I didn't want to grab food with her!
"..."
"..."
At this moment, in the game, outside of Stratholme's bridgehead, Galen and Dreyus, who had just been discussed by Little Anne and Commander Doug, were a group of twenty Marines staring at each other with blank faces.
Just now, they were full of confidence and felt that they could clear the entire dungeon before the end of the meal, and they were taught a lesson alive by the cruel reality!
A lesson!
More than ten minutes ago, after they put on armored power combat uniforms and rushed into the city, just when they had time to chop down some zombies and skeletons, they were caught by a small ghoul with a group of smaller ones. The ghouls smashed to the ground easily and sent twenty fresh and sweet meats to the other party for free...
Finally, after the other party left with a bulging stomach and a full hiccup, this copy was reset by the brain, and they were also resurrected and returned to Qiaotou.
"Dreyus... just now, how long have we been in the city...?"
Looking at the huge wooden and iron gate in the distance, Galen felt that his self-confidence seemed to have been hit by a huge and cruel blow, and he needed to be comforted.
"It should be... about ten minutes..."
Dreyus said with a darkened face.
He looked at the current time, and then thought about the time he waited for someone to leave when the meal started, so he could easily come up with a relatively accurate figure.
"Ha! That's not bad, anyway, we can be considered as insistent for ten minutes?"
Galen smiled awkwardly, and comforted the crowd like self-hypnosis.
Even though they failed in the end and didn't score a few meters into the city, at any rate, they managed to persist for ten minutes in the city.
This is a huge improvement!
Galen feels that they must not be depressed because of this, and should continue to work hard, next time... Try to persist for an hour and a half?
Anyway, until now, his Galen has temporarily cleared the entire dungeon before the end of the meal, without any hope!
He only hopes that later, after the next attack begins, they can hold on for longer?
"Galen..."
The corner of Dreyus' mouth trembled and looked at Galen, a bit hesitant to speak, as if he didn't want to hit him?
"We were inside just now, and only lasted a minute at most... Then, those monsters, it took us nearly nine minutes..."
Although he didn't want to hit Galen's enthusiasm, Dreyus still said the truth blankly.
Thinking of what had just happened, Delius still felt a little trembling.
That kind of monster is too scary, right?
The ghoul that just wiped out his own 20 people, the other party is not huge, or powerful, or invulnerable monster, but only, it is just extremely fast...
How fast is it?
People like them, they just saw each other, before they had time to react, they were speeded up by the monster, and then quickly interspersed in the team. In less than ten seconds, they all tore the armor and turned dry. On the ground...
When I think of the speed at which the opponent is swiftly interspersed among the twenty of them, with almost no figure visible, think of its terrifying claws, tearing through the weak parts of the armor and pulling out their group of people. The feeling of despair in his internal organs, he couldn't help trembling twice, and he was about to urinate...
Fortunately, this extremely fast monster only exists in the game...
"Ah... So, we were in there just now, did we only stay for a minute?"
Galen, who wanted to continue mobilizing his morale, couldn't help but stiffen after hearing this.
Afterwards, Galen thought, maybe it was because this copy was too difficult?
So, do you want to order Dawn to change this dungeon from a real difficulty mode to a difficult or normal mode? Or, simply adjust to the lowest simple mode?
Decided! That should be done!
"Everyone, don't be discouraged! After all ~EbookFREE.me~ we are all newbies. This failure is actually part of our plan!"
After thinking about it, Galen turned to face the others and mobilized again.
"So! In a moment, let's start with the simplest mode! Everyone must believe: We will definitely be able to clear this simple mode of Stratholme this time! Definitely!"
"You must believe: We, but the strongest Marine on the Nozomi! No one! Victory will always belong to us!"
A leader who can't open his eyes to tell lies is not a good leader!
Therefore, after a lot of mess, watching everyone’s morale mobilized slightly by his own nonsense, Galen nodded in satisfaction, and at the first time let Zhi Brain Shuguang change the difficulty of the copy to the real difficulty mode. , Adjusted to the lowest and lowest gear!
Galen thinks, if this is the case, they should be able to pass the customs this time, right?
