No one expected that the Dawn team would suddenly appear.
Even the Prisoner team had reached this point, and the situation of the other teams wasn’t much better. The pressure in the area they were responsible for was better than that of the Prisoner team, but judging from the confused state of each team member, they were clearly on the verge of their limit.
If they continued to fight, they might become a burden to the team once they were completely alienated. From then on, they could only retreat, but the menacing alien monsters in front of them didn’t give them any chance to breathe.
Even though only the sound coming from the communicator was heard, it was precisely due to this difficult situation that it was enough for everyone to feel as if they had seen the real dawn of hope at this moment.
“We will accept all the remaining contribution points without hesitation. I hope you don’t mind.” Chi Ting’s voice came from the communicator with a low electric sound, but it still made people imagine the indifferent smile on his face when he spoke. “The area in front of the base that Captain He is in charge of has been officially taken over by our Dawn team. Those who are willing to give the points can go back and rest first. Let those monsters come over and let us deal with them. Thank you.”
Yes, he even said thank you at the end.
The captains of the other teams received such notifications one after another, and they shook their heads with bitter smiles.
If it was under normal circumstances, it would undoubtedly seem like a provocation from a competitor. However, in this self-inflicted situation, the meaning was completely different.
How could they mind?
If possible, it was best to take away all the monsters.
Really, after such endless battles, they felt like vomiting when seeing these aliens.
After being in this unlimited world for so long, this was the first time the members of the top teams had felt such a direct physiological reaction under heavy pressure.
“What do you think, Captain? Shall we release them?” A member of the Satan team panted heavily and stared blankly ahead with a pair of almost unfocused eyes. It took him more than ten seconds to react to the words from the communicator. “If the other teams release them all like us… are you sure there is no problem?”
Judging from the terrain of the No 2 stronghold, the movement of these aliens was like an inverted hourglass. They came from all directions and rushed toward the gate of the No 2 stronghold, which was the location currently taken over by the Dawn team. Previously, it was because each team had completed a certain degree of interception at each location that the Prisoner team, led by He Yuanqing, was able to hold on until now. if it was fully released, it would be like the original dam with a limited flow had suddenly opened. All the resistance pressure would fall completely on the Dawn team that had taken over.
It was already so difficult to resist one branch. Could they really resist a full-scale outbreak?
This was undoubtedly the most critical point that needed to be faced when making a choice. After all, once the No 2 stronghold was breached, it wouldn’t be a question of how to defend the remaining two strongholds. It was likely that there would be no way to withstand this wave of outbreak, resulting in everyone being completely buried here.
In response to this, Xi Qinxin was silent for a short moment before quickly giving an answer. “Okay, go back to the safe zone to adjust. We will release it.”
The moment she finished speaking, she killed the monsters in front of her and really retracted her sword. She smiled when she saw that the team members were still hesitant. “Why are you still standing there? Since Dawn said that the rest will be handed over to them, then just give it to them. As for what will happen in the end… you still remember how Old Jie transformed. If we continue like this, we will just repeat the same mistake, and we won’t even have to wait until the end.”
It was a bit heartbreaking to say this, but the members of Satan knew it was the truth. Thus, they gritted their teeth and decisively followed their captain to retreat.
Once they retreated here, the subsequent monster attacks had no resistance at all and went straight to the entrance of the No 2 stronghold.
Xi Qinxin just glanced at it and didn’t look again.
It was just as she said before. What was more urgent now was the situation of her team members, rather than whether these monsters would eventually break through the defense line.
If it dragged on any longer, they might really have to watch their comrades being alienated again.
The Satan team returned to the safe zone, and all they saw from afar were the exhausted and sprawling figures of the Prisoner team.
It looked like they had obviously undergone some treatment. The chaps in everyone’s expressions had clearly dissipated a lot. However, they had to resist the mental impact during the fierce battle, so they consumed a lot of physical strength. This made everyone’s faces inevitably gloomy.
He Yuanqing also saw the return of Xi Qinxin’s group.
Chi Ting might’ve sounded cold and ruthless when he spoke before, but He Yuanqing still had a vague feeling. Now that he saw other people again, he felt that this intuition was completely verified.
Ever since He Yuanqing came to the unlimited world, he had a good reputation among the top players because he never hesitated to help in instances. However, if he had experienced such repeated doubts or even murderous intentions toward him, he probably wouldn’t be able to stand up like he was now and continue to provide shelter.
The Dawn team was really…
He Yuanqing didn’t know how to describe his feelings at this moment. In the end, all he wanted to say was summed up in one sentence. How could someone like Captain Chi get involved with a guy like Lou Yueren?
He shook his head silently. Then he looked up and happened to greet Xi Qinxin. “Captain Xi, you’re here.”
“…Yes, here I am.”
In response, she found a stone block nearby and sat down.
In the blink of an eye, Song Xuefeng noticed the newcomers here and slowly walked over. He directly set up a treatment area without saying a word.
Xi Qinxin’s condition was much better than her other team members. She watched from afar and was speechless for a moment.
Then she turned around and looked at He Yuanqing. “Captain He, in fact, I always thought you were pretty stupid.”
He Yuanqing was speechless for a moment after hearing the overly sincere tone. Then he heard Xi Qinxin continue, “But now I suddenly realize that what you said before seems to be quite right.”
Xi QInxin was famous among the captains for being arrogant and looking down on everyone. Her sudden remark made He Yuanqing curious. “What sentence?”
Xi Qinxin had already withdrawn her gaze. Only the tail end of her voice spread out in such an empty environment. “Sometimes, people do have something more important than life, and that is a conscience.”
He Yuanqing was slightly stunned. Then he laughed after understanding what was going on. “I just feel that even though I have come to this unlimited world, I should still behave like a human being.”
“Yes, it is because we are in this unlimited world that I always think you are stupid.”
He Yuanqing: “……”
He slowly leaned back against the wall, closed his eyes, and said nothing more.
Gradually, with the return of Lang Xuelin’s team, the other teams also turned back one after another.
The empty area in the safe zone gradually became crowded. Judging from the expressions of these people when they returned, their emotions were more or less complicated.
The last team to return was the Jazz team, with only two players.
Someone asked about it. Qu Leng replied in a tired voice, “Qi Xiu stayed to help Dawn.”
No one said anything more for a while.
The loud explosions in the distance indicated that the battle wasn’t over yet. But whether it was due to the effectiveness of this healing area or out of a subconscious reassurance, everyone’s heart was filled with a sense of calm after the war as they looked at the layers of dust rising in the distance.
It seemed that even the players themselves didn’t notice it. They didn’t know when it started, but they had become so confident in the Dawn team, which they hadn’t taken seriously at all in the beginning.
In the silence, someone suddenly laughed bitterly and emotionally. “Really, after downloading so many instances, this is the first time that I’ve unknowingly played an escape game.”
This sentence was hard through the live stream interface. At the same time, Ji Xingque’s excited voice was heard in the live stream room of the Dawn team. “This is how you should enjoy the game of grabbing points!”
As the words came out, the heavy sound of gunfire became the loudest background sound. The two completely different sides at this moment undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast. This made the audience, who was still worried about the battle situation a moment ago, inevitably feel complicated for a moment.
They were trying to grab points while others were escaping, right?
It was worthy of the Dawn team!
A long red rope was wrapped around a white wrist. A gust of wind blew, and Chi Ting’s clothes fluttered slightly as he stood high up with his arms crossed.
All the bone beads were scattered around him. In a short moment, the phantoms that had awakened after feeling the call had gathered into a powerful army.
They stood there and firmly formed the last line of defense to intercept these aliens.
Just like countless times in the past, the familiar scene fell into Chi Ting’s eyes and caused him to squint slightly. Under the silent operation, brilliant superpowers erupted among his army of phantoms. A cruel, hell-like scene fell into his eyes, but the extremely bloody scene of slaughter didn’t move him at all.
Such an occasion was just an ordinary job for him.
If there was any difference from the past, it was probably that after this battle, they could gain an extra large number of contribution points.
“I say, you really don’t intend to let me go?”
It wasn’t until these words entered his ears that Chi Ting’s face showed some emotion.
He looked back and happened to meet Lou Yueren’s gaze. He blinked slowly. “I have no intention. I don’t know why you have been stopping me from taking action, but there are two points you must admit. First, we are more experienced in dealing with this type of work. After a wave of this, I can control the increased alienation degree within 2%, but you increased it by 5% in the last wave. Secondly, Brother Ren, please face the fact that your physical strength really isn’t enough. If you don’t want to be overdrawn in the last few waves of monster attacks, only dragging us back, I advise you to recover your physical strength when you need to rest.”
“……”
The strong wind blew through the gusts of sand, and Lou Yueren slowly cleared his throat. “Sooner or later, I will let you know that my physical strength is actually quite good.”
Chi Ting nodded and turned away calmly. “Okay, I look forward to your performance.”
Lou Yueren: “.”
It was reasonable to suspect that his dear boyfriend probably didn’t understand what he said at all!
Chi Ting didn’t notice Lou Yueren’s subtle silence.
He glanced at the alien army at the battle of the battlefield, where the end could finally be seen. He slowly lowered his eyes.
The fifth wave should basically be completed smoothly, but the No 2 stronghold would need to be completely abandoned after this time.
In this way, they needed to intercept the next four waves of monster attacks before the remaining two strongholds were completely destroyed.
The bad news was that it was a bit difficult.
The good news was that, judging from the current contribution ranking, this wave had allowed the Dawn team to take a huge lead. There should be no other teams competing with them for points.
