After meeting countless people, Lu Ning was able to sense a little bit of their mentality from others. She could clearly feel that Nimophis was not really afraid of her, and at the same time, he had no feelings of hatred. If I had to describe it, only the word "peaceful" can describe the feeling of Nimophis.
It is ridiculous to feel peaceful in such a murderous mercenary leader. After all, even Lu Ning himself has not reached such a state. And Nimophis was not in a hurry when choosing equipment, just like wandering aimlessly on the street and picking something he likes on a sunny and breezy afternoon.
"You're not nervous."
"Yes, there are very few things that make me feel nervous... Oh, but that doesn't mean that I am not afraid of death, or that I am fearless. That would be too flattering to me. I am just a person called an executioner. Human beings will still be afraid when death is imminent."
"As long as you leave this room, I can kill you at any time."
"That's why I keep an attitude of respect for you, miss, so that you can feel better and save my life for a little while." Nimophis said in a slightly deep voice, "Of course, when I also get the fifth-level props, We can sit on an equal footing again and talk.”
"I'm surprised you're not even on Level 5."
"People always have to succumb to some accidents, especially our kind. But it's worth spending a little time to get a few brothers back. Don't you think so?"
Lu Ning remained silent and didn't answer.
"Then just choose this one... By the way, isn't there a changing room here?"
"You're wearing a night jacket, there's no need to be so pretentious."
"It doesn't seem to suit your sense of humor." Nimophis shook his head and took out the suit of clothes he had chosen. Lu Ning couldn't help but take a look at his choice.
"In successive years of war, there was such a team. Their success rate in infiltrating the enemy's central command headquarters reached 96%. In total, more than a thousand commanders died at the hands of this team. Even in encirclement and suppression campaigns, , and few people can capture the traces of this team."
Nimophis tore off the white initial suit and took out a gray-black combat uniform that looked like plastic in texture from under the machine.
"Their name is very common, 'Phantom', but if you want to say that the best team in history is the best at hiding and surviving, this group of people is the only one."
After putting on the combat uniform, Lu Ning suddenly felt that Nimophis's position was quite blurry. Although he was still standing there, his eyes could not focus on his position.
This was because Lu Ning was deliberately looking for him, and he was the only one who could see him. If it were a chaotic battle, no one would be able to notice where he went.
Nimophis also took out the phantom equipment and assembled them on his body one after another. It was difficult for Lu Ning to see clearly what these equipments included. This interference even made Lu Ning's impression of Nimophis himself a little blurry. In addition to Apart from the name, his appearance and height even began to become blurry.
"You shouldn't have let me know about the dangers of this outfit."
"It doesn't matter, Illusion is just one of the famous armies in history. They eventually perished, and no one even knew about their demise. I believe you think better. After all, I still focus on survival, and you are more inclined For killing." Nimophis's voice seemed to be very far away, "I will take my brothers out of here as soon as possible, and maybe I will cause some trouble later, but I don't believe you will use the precious fifth-level items. Opportunities are reserved for people like me.”
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows.
"Then, let's say goodbye. I hope that next time we meet, you and I can have such a peaceful conversation."
The elevator door opened, and Lu Ning closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her vision had returned to normal.
"Cunning fox..."
Nimophis was right, she would not use level 5 items to kill him if it was not necessary, and the attitude he showed made Lu Ning not feel the slightest danger.
She walked step by step to the weapon selection machine.
"But it does let me know what choice I should make."
She still had an impression of the equipment introductions she had browsed before, and after a few clicks she found the one she wanted.
[Eastern Special Operations Force "Crimson".
When this team was active, no one knew of their existence. After the Eastern Territory completely became history, this team was found from countless order documents.
Specializing in countermeasures, riot control, search, disaster countermeasures, and closure.
The list of members of Crimson is still unknown, maybe you are lucky enough to be one of them. 】
The specific equipment list is listed below. In fact, according to the conditions listed by Lu Ning, the equipment functions of each team are basically the same. It is just that this team has the special item of disaster countermeasures, so it is uniformly equipped with multiple pulse launchers and The short-wave resonator can destroy various equipment with different technical backgrounds within the range.
Soon, Lu Ning put on this equipment. She spent more than ten minutes studying the usage of each part of this equipment, and then walked to the elevator.
She pressed a button on her shoulder as she entered the door.
==================
Ji Changhao slumped on the ground, spitting out white mist from his mouth. The cold and biting air still couldn't stop him from breathing violently.
"Teacher, everything has been solved."
Liyuan Qiuye walked over, covering her arm. There were two staggered wounds on her arm. Ice and blood were mixed and frozen together, almost sinking into her chest.
Gan Xu was sitting on the other side. One of his legs was amputated by a blue blade thrown by a servant when he was about to die. The blood was solidified by the cold before it could flow out. There was no need to worry about death from blood loss.
Ninomiya Makoto and Kogami Rinko were not seriously injured, but their physical exertion was huge. Maybe another servant could kill them all.
Fortunately, no.
The warning of the crisis has not ended yet, but the monsters are obviously almost dead or injured, not only because of the resistance of the survivors, but also because the monsters will attack each other.
"Teacher, have you ever thought about..." Honggami Rinko helped Ji Changhao up, "If we really can't defeat those monster leaders, we will have to continue to release more monsters to balance the situation."
"Drink poison to quench thirst."
Ji Changhao cleared his throat and said in a hoarse voice.
"We are not strong enough." Gan Xu covered his leg, where a new replacement leg was slowly being formed.
"Two level fours are still not enough." Lizono Qiuye said with a little regret, "The strength of the monsters here is improving faster than us. Now the level three can no longer hold up. This is the end of the second crisis!"
"Isn't this a normal phenomenon?"
From the back of the corridor came the sound of footsteps, a person, and many heavy sounds.
Cheng Wuling came over. Her appearance made Ji Changhao alert for a moment, but he soon lost his fighting spirit.
Following Cheng Wulin were four "bodyguards" about two meters tall, surrounded by dark green water, turbulent sand, cold wind carrying ice particles, and crystal clear and solid snow.
Not to mention that the weapons and equipment on Cheng Wuling's body are also beyond the scope of ordinary weapon points. With just one glance, Ji Changhao dared to say that the other party's wealth alone was richer than theirs as a team.
"Really...we are too slow." He smiled weakly.
"You focus too much on other things, which slows down the progress. It's no wonder that a team's actions will inevitably focus on one thing and not the other." Cheng Wuling stood outside the range that made Ji Changhao and others feel slightly at ease. He looked at the slightly sluggish leader calmly and said, "I've heard of you."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
"This is not polite. People in the third level have clear goals and have many contacts. Your strength is indeed not very conspicuous, but there are not many people in the third level who are willing to teach newcomers at any time. I believe... these few are really Is your student."
"Are you also a crow?" Kogami Rinko bared her teeth slightly, showing a somewhat resistant look, "What do you want to do if you come to us at this time?"
"I'm looking for some guys who still have the fighting spirit."
"Then most of the people still alive in this garden meet your requirements." Ji Changhao blocked Honggami Rinko behind him, although he knew very well that Rinzi might be more powerful now, but that difference was meaningless.
"I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. Many people are probably planning to escape in the end. The increasing difficulty of crises has made them realize their limitations. Such people are not my target."
"Hey, it's like we don't want to escape." Gan Xu stood up with his legs already grown, but his trouser legs were one long and one short, which looked a little funny.
"You just can't."
This sentence made Ji Changhao smile bitterly.
"It's really hurtful... Doesn't this make our strength useless?"
"Time is tight, so I'll keep it short. You guys shouldn't be easily traumatized." Cheng Wuling slightly increased his speaking speed, "I've seen your two battles. You guys are very standard level three. Tourists, fighting has a personal style. Everyone has two to three specialties and knows how to adopt different strategies to face different enemies. Such people can deal with most scenarios, but they only need to increase their strength in this way. Where the speed is too fast, it will be a little slower to adapt.”
"Oh? Have you been spying on us?"
"I don't have that much time, so I just check it out when I see it occasionally. I know the situation of most people in this garden, and I can basically know the location and cooling status of all one hundred and twenty mission machines."
"Are you showing off?" Kogami Rinko asked with raised eyebrows.
"No...she is recruiting. This is too much for her, or even if she has one or two friends, she can't digest it. Looking at her, it is obvious that unlocking the weather will not hinder her, so as long as the five of us join, we can immediately Our task list is full." Ji Changhao certainly knew what Cheng Wuling meant, "I seem to know who you are, but I haven't paid attention."
"People only pay attention to each other when they have real interactions. I think what I just proposed should be enough to make you tempted?"
"If you are tempted, that is the guarantee of survival." Ji Changhao let go of Honggami Rinko's hand to support him, "But what conditions do you have? How can we trust you? With our strength, wouldn't it be just Just a tool?"
"I said, I've inspected you, and what you lack is not your own combat qualities, but external forces. It won't take me ten minutes to push you to a strength level close to the fifth-level props. If I only need tools, I don't have to at all. Ask them what they think." Cheng Wuling raised his hand, "Or do you need me to show you a little bit?"
"What are you showing?" Ninomiya Honesty asked in confusion.
"The leader of Crisis Scavenger, the Lord of the Flies is flying over along the corridor leading here. Maybe you want to verify the strength issue with your own eyes before cooperating?"
"Chief...Miss Cheng, I don't doubt your strength." Ji Changhao looked at Cheng Wuling, "I need a guarantee, that's all. Although your emotional disguise has reached the point where I can't recognize it, I believe My old bones are still sensitive to evil. Please tell me in the most straightforward language, and we will work for you in this scenario."
Cheng Wuling put down his hand.
"good."
She stared into Ji Changhao's eyes without blinking for a moment.
"I, Cheng Wuling, will guarantee that as a reward for Ji Changhao and his five members joining the team, I will help them improve their strength to the level of fifth-level props. I will never use their lives to implement any plans, and I will always provide team support and support as teammates."
Now Kogami Rinko and others are really speechless.
"...Thank you."
"Then please follow me. We don't have much time and I think you know what the next crisis will be."
--"white night".
The Lord of the Flies was about to fly out from the corridor when four bodyguards jumped out and held him down. Cheng Wuling didn't even look at it and said, "Then now, the main thing is to improve your strength level. When Bai Ye's alarm starts, You must meet my standards for participating in the war.”
====================
"She's also starting to look for someone?"
Lu Ning shuttled through the corridor. The cold wind blew against her face, but it turned into a trickle around her. The lowered temperature could not break through the temperature-controlled insulation layer covering the outer layer of her clothes. The Autumn Garden was not dead.
Following her was the matchmaker. At this time, Lu Ning no longer needed her to continue external investigation and tracking operations. She only needed to stay by his side to provide support at any time.
She didn't go to Rosa and others first. Summer Garden was still safe. She needed to see Lewanska and hear his next plan and... where the people had gone.
The lights are gradually dimming, and pale white characters occasionally appear on the wall, distorted like the wail of the dead. The warning of crisis comes earlier than expected, and the moment that heralds the arrival of an era of endless war is gathering momentum.
[After struggling and then dying, we can do nothing. 】
[Warning: The white night is coming. 】
