There is no need to dwell on it. In this situation, it seems that the elder brother on whom he has placed his hope is about to be killed by the gray beast, right? ?
"Lin Li! Are you okay! Lin Li!" Yu Nian picked up the weapon on his waist, tremblingly aimed at the gray beasts gathered in a circle below, and shouted.
"No problem." Among the gray beasts, a white human hand that was out of place stretched out and gave a thumbs up to where Yu Nian was on the tree.
If you have watched "Terminator", Yu Nian may feel the familiarity of this scene.
"Click."
The sharp teeth of a gray beast bit directly on Lin Li's arm and pressed his hand back.
Yu Nian: "..."
"Lin Li, are you sure you are okay now?"
This picture is really hard to convince myself.
"I am sure!"
Lin Li spoke very sincerely, and in the next second, the steel rod that rolled to the side was taken back into his hand.
Because a friend died at the hands of this fire stick, the gray beasts were still wary of it and all retreated a little.
Lin Li, who was unscathed, touched his iron bucket. The problem was not serious, and the iron bucket still maintained its overall shape, but he could already feel a lot of tooth marks.
But there is still a long way to go before it is completely scrapped.
Lin Li did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards the gray beasts.
This kind of battle without worries is a good opportunity to exercise your fighting instincts and understand the habits of low-level gray beasts.
What’s more, it’s really cool.
This feeling of being able to fight back even though others try to do something to you.
Yu Nian finally realized that it seemed that none of the gray beast's attacks had caused any harm to Lin Li, but he was still frightened when he saw Lin Li trapped in the pile of gray beasts.
"Click, click."
There was the sound of something fragile breaking in his ears, and a little bit of debris fell on his face.
Yu Nian looked up and saw a blue-and-white British shorthair cat and a mouse, sitting leisurely on the tree trunk, eating a bag of potato chips that he got out of nowhere.
I have never even seen the brand of potato chips in Yu Nian.
After noticing his gaze, the cat hesitated for a moment, took out a potato chip and handed it to him.
Yu Nian: "..."
If I remember correctly, this cat was Lin Li's pet. I had never seen this brown mouse before.
"Your master has become like this, so you are not worried at all?"
The cat and mouse above them were startled, looked at each other, put the potato chips behind them, and began to cry.
Apart from the fact that there were no tears, it wasn't sad at all, and aside from the facts, it still looked quite similar.
Yu Nian: "..."
As expected of Brother Lin, the pets he keeps are so unique.
"Brother Lin!" Yu Nian shouted as he watched Lin Li being submerged again, "I can shoot, but I'm afraid of hitting you. Do you need help?"
"Let's go." Lin Li's voice came from the pile of gray beasts, "Don't worry, I'll be fine if I take a few bullets, as long as the iron bucket on my head is still there, please pay attention to this."
"Then I'll open it!"
After the final reminder, Yu Nian put the gun in front of his eyes, aimed at the gray beast's head, and started shooting.
"Da da da da da-"
The part that does the most damage to the gray beast is the brain, but now that there is a tangle of fights underneath, and Yu Nian's hands that are afraid of heights are constantly shaking, the hit rate is really ugly.
Because the quality is so poor, bullets hitting the body will cause pain to the gray beast, but they are not fatal.
Yu Nian suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder, and he quickly turned his head with the muzzle of his gun on his back.
The 'culprit' locked his legs to the branch and hung upside down. Facing the black hole of the gun, he raised his hands in surrender in a very human-like manner.
It’s Lin Li’s cat.
"Scared me." Yu Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
Tom patted Yu Nian again, pointed at the gun in his hand, and showed a slightly lewd smile.
"You... want this?" Yu Nian probably understood what he meant, but still asked with some doubts.
Tom nodded.
Yu Nian gave the gun to Tom doubtfully.
Tom immediately took out a cigar from the hair pocket on his chest, stretched it out, and saw the mouse on it scratching the ground with a match, and then lit the cigar.
With a cigar in his mouth, Tom took out sunglasses from another pocket and put them on his face.
Then he held the gun in front of his face and pressed the side of his face against it.
"Da da da da da-"
A picture that shocked Yu Nian appeared, a gray beast that was constantly moving, and blood burst out from its head one after another.
The deviation of the hit position of all bullets is less than a few centimeters!
Still a moving target!
After finishing a round of bullets, Tom handed the empty magazine to Yu Nian and blew out a smoke ring with a face full of vicissitudes of life.
Yu Nian didn't notice that after the smoke rings took off, they slowly gathered into a sentence in the air: "so boring."
The dog-legged Yu Nian immediately loaded the bullet and handed it to Tom respectfully: "Brother Cat, your bullets have been refilled for you."
After Tom took it, he handed the gun to Jerry above and helped him hold the gun.
Jerry squeezed the trigger and aimed.
"Da da da da da-"
The scene that appeared was almost the same as before, except that it hit another one.
The two gray beasts that were hit were already dying and almost lost their ability to move.
Tom handed the cigar to Jerry again, took a deep breath, and exhaled. The same smoke ring slowly rose up and turned into words: "You are right."
"Brother Mouse, I will help you change the bullet right now." Yu Nian said flatteringly.
"Yu Nian, do me a favor."
Lin Li's voice suddenly came from below.
"What are you busy with? Brother Lin?" Yu Nian responded immediately.
"Put this on."
Without the entanglement of two gray beasts, Lin Li, who struggled out of the pile of gray beasts, came to the found plant, put aside the bag originally used to hold the plant, threw it to Yu Nian, and said.
Yu Nian: "..."
The number of silences today is really too much.
"What kind of help is this? What's the use of a pullover?" Yu Nian asked.
"I'm going to kill them all - use my ultimate move, but this move will cause damage to everyone who sees it." Lin Li made it up, "To protect you."
"this……"
Yu Nian was stunned for a moment, but the next second he put the bag on his head.
If Brother Lin asked for this, there must be a reason for doing so.
Yu Nian didn't believe what Lin Li just said, but that didn't stop him from doing what he said.
After seeing this, and looking at the gray beast in front of him that was still charging towards him despite being burned, Lin Li leaned on the tree trunk as if frustrated.
If there are too many, the effect of your practice will be greatly reduced.
These gray beasts are not gentlemen at all. They like sneak attacks and have no martial ethics.
It would be a bit difficult to use only fire sticks without other props.
The most important thing was that the iron barrel above his head was somewhat deformed, and Lin Li did not intend to let it be scrapped at this time.
After all, we have to enter the gray area, which will be even more dangerous, and it won't do if the iron barrel is cooling.
Lin Li raised his head and shouted in animal language: "Tom, Jerry, come down and work!"
"coming!"
He threw the steel stick to Tom, and Tom threw the cigar to Lin Li. Lin Li smoked the cigar quietly, admiring their performance.
"Remember to leave one for me, I want to have a 1V1 man battle with it."
"How do you know these are men, maybe women?"
Jerry, who was running around among the gray beasts, tying their tails together in a tight knot, had a questioning look on his face.
"Then it's 1V1 between men and women...Jerry, shut up."
"I said nothing."
"Close your face."
"oh."
…
There was only the last gray beast left. Lin Li stood up, caught the steel rod that Tom returned, and walked towards it.
The gray beast had long lost its previous momentum, and was surrounded by dizzy, burned, and similar creatures buried in the soil with only one head exposed. After seeing the two demons stop, it immediately ran deep into the forest.
Lin Li threw the steel rod and hit it on the head, which became the last straw to kill the gray beast.
"Take it off, Yu Nian, it's solved." After the problem was solved, Lin Li said lazily.
Yu Nian seemed to have received a birthday surprise. Even though he silently took off his bag, his eyes were still closed.
Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mess around him.
Lin Li was taking Tom and Jerry into the depths of the jungle.
"Brother Lin, Brother Cat, Brother Rat, where are you going?" Yu Nian quickly asked.
"I'm going to change clothes." Lin Li pointed at the tattered clothes on his body and said helplessly.
Similar to the concept of [host injury immunity], the damage transferred by the iron barrel is only limited to the physical body.
Lin Li can now be described as ragged.
"Did you two show your skills in front of Yu Nian?" Lin Li asked Tom and Jerry on the way.
He noticed the change in Yu Nian's title.
Tom and Jerry both shook their heads and nodded again.
Lin Li was about to say that they were disobedient, but then he suddenly remembered that no one listened when he warned them last time. Later, he only hit them to vent his anger and forgot to emphasize it again.
Lin Li sighed and asked them to recount the situation just now.
Not a big problem.
Just a sharpshooter.
Moreover, Yu Nian didn't seem to have many bad intentions - he even acted a little heartless in front of himself.
"How are you two feeling? Are you tired?" Lin Li was very concerned about this.
"I'm very tired. I want to eat braised pig's trotters." Tom looked at Lin Li expectantly.
"Then you shouldn't be tired anymore. How many of these creatures can you deal with after a complete rest?" Lin Li asked again as he got used to Tom's lack of tune.
"One hundred! If you have braised pig's trotters, it's two hundred!"
Lin Li: "Okay, okay, I'll burn a hundred for you when you go home."
Lin Li, who had changed into a set of clothes and came back, saw Yu Nian still on the tree.
"Why haven't you come down yet?"
"I don't dare if you three haven't come back." Yu Nian said very confidently, "If another gray beast comes, how can I live without you."
"Okay, you are very stable."
"Brother Lin, how do you think I managed to break into the Gray Realm so many times with my 3E and useless abilities?" Yu Nian was a little proud.
"Okay, come down quickly, we haven't finished processing this one yet."
"coming."
…
The interlude ended, and Lin Li continued to follow Yu Nian's sweep and study.
This method is indeed very clean. No wonder it was difficult for me to go out and pick up leaks before.
It's like locusts passing through.
Then the two of them returned home with their full load, handed their things to the administrator, found a random place to sit, and started eating to replenish their strength.
The two people who came back were considered the first batch, and the others came back one after another.
Many of those assigned to the frontline area returned with injuries, and even carried the heads of gray beasts to show off their achievements.
"Do you need treatment?"
A man walked up to Lin Li and asked.
"It's not hurt, thank you." Lin Li shook his head and said politely.
Hearing this, the man glanced at Lin Li for a second and nodded: "You can come to me if you need anything. I am an awakener in healing."
"OK, all right."
"Brother Lin, don't forget me, Xiao Yu, when you get rich." Yu Nian said sincerely next to him.
"Said so suddenly."
"In this situation, it is probably that both parties have realized that you are very capable. Look at that kid just now. He didn't even ask me if I was injured. But this is too normal."
Yu Nian clicked his tongue and said, "If you express your intention to join their small group now, they will absolutely welcome you, and your status will even be quite high if you join."
"Brother Lin, if you decide to join a certain team, can you... take me with you?" Yu Nian skillfully knocked on Lin Li's shoulder and said flatteringly.
"Why are you so skilled?" Lin Li smiled and waved, "I have no idea. I joined the sweep team on a whim. I don't know whether I will do it in the future. I'd better forget about joining a small group or something."
"If you don't join, I won't join either. I vow to advance and retreat together with Brother Lin." Yu Nian said righteously.
"Stop hammering, I won't sell you."
"OK."
"Ah -" Tom on the side looked at this scene, blinked, stretched, and rubbed his shoulders.
"It's so sour——"
Yu Nian: "..."
The silence lasted for a second, and Yu Nian immediately stepped forward, smiled, and started to beat Tom's back.
"Brother Cat, what do you think of this strength?"
Tom made a fist with one hand and hit the palm of his hand hard.
"Want to be louder? What now?" Yu Nian understood the meaning, immediately increased the intensity, and then asked.
This time Tom gave a thumbs up, very satisfied.
"Okay, Brother Cat, if you have any other requests, feel free to ask."
As expected of Brother Lin’s pet, it’s just not ordinary.
"..."
Lin Li took a deep breath.
Then he kicked Tom away.
"Fly high for me."
Jerry, who was waiting in line for a back slap, first whistled guiltily, and then silently walked back to Lin Li's pocket.
——
This raid lasted for two days.
After the sweep, they rested for a while, and then the truck took everyone to the next location to repeat the process and continue the sweep.
Lin Li and Yu Nian were assigned similar areas of responsibility each time, the front line but a little to the side.
Over the years, I gradually became more proficient.
Whenever the gray beast appears, he climbs trees and rocks. In pure wilderness areas, he just squats down with his head in his hands.
Then he took out the extra backpack he had prepared, put it upside down on his head, and even covered his eyes with both hands - indicating his determination never to peek, and then waited for Brother Lin's order.
He is very sensible and Lin Li is very satisfied with him.
In this way, Lin Li could let Tom and Jerry help him raid the formation, and fight the gray beast by himself.
After two days of practice, he gradually became proficient in wielding the steel rod, and he also figured out how to attack and avoid the gray beast.
As for sleeping time at night, there will be tents and sleeping bags allocated, and you will not sleep in the car.
The truck stopped again, but this time, the situation was slightly different.
After getting out of the car, Lin Li noticed the administrator's gaze and turned his head. He saw the gray area for the first time - just ten meters away.
It's easy to spot because it's filled with gray mist.
But although gray fog is called fog and permeates every place in the gray domain, unlike regular fog, its existence does not hinder the line of sight at all.
What is the visibility under normal circumstances? It is still the same in gray fog.
Rather than so much fog, it's more like a gray filter covering your eyes, making all the colors no longer bright and the light looking dim.
"Strange." The administrator muttered.
