Except for Ifrit, who consumed part of the fuel, the other operators basically did not take any action. The slightly threatening crystal cluster monster was quickly killed by several operators with long-range attacks. Rhode Island's support team maintained Peak combat power.
Behind the mud rock were eight giant clay figures, large and small. Zhou Jinru looked back and suddenly understood what digging three feet into the ground meant...
"Can you control so many clay figures?"
"Nothing to do with you!"
Zhou Jinru pressed the earphone: "Everyone retreats in an orderly manner and gives up the frontal battlefield to the integration movement!"
The trust between the two parties was almost zero. Mudrock did not adopt Zhou Jinru's theory and even created a larger pit.
"Doctor, what do we do now?"
Several operators walked around the advancing clay men. These things were slow but huge in size, making people feel frightened just by looking at them.
"We continue to retreat. All the personnel of the fourth team get on the bus first, and the others squeeze in and return to the command camp."
Zhou Jinru had no intention of continuing. The main purpose of his trip was to test the new gadgets produced by the equipment department. It was just an accident to help the integrated movement defend the line.
This place is already at the forefront of natural disasters. Geological disasters will soon spread, and by then it will be too late to leave.
Just as Rhode Island was retreating, Mud Rock's men followed the clay men and blocked the next wave of attacking Originium Insects. No more crystal cluster monsters appeared.
Zhou Jinru couldn't laugh or cry: "Are those things all aimed at me?"
The drone landed in the containment box in front of him. He took off his goggles, and a gust of cool wind blew up, lifting a strand of hair on his forehead. In the deep night, there was a layer of mist floating faintly.
"Is the regicide coming?"
Director Sai, who was in charge of the safety project, glanced at it and said angrily: "Don't be suspicious, it's just normal fog and it will disappear after dawn."
Zhou Jinru was still worried: "The cars in front will leave first, and my car will be behind."
The clay figures summoned by the Originium skill of the mudstone ahead were like no one in the Originium insect swarm. After easily crushing a large group to death, they filled the deep pit one after another, almost completely leveling it.
Integrated movement cadres with special abilities still have skills.
Zhou Jinru sighed with emotion as the platform lowered and he watched the carriage above him close and turn into a multi-purpose transport vehicle again.
boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the car, and then countless sand and stones fell from the sky, hitting the outer shell of the car with a crackling sound. Zhou Jinru grabbed his earphones and asked loudly: "Why did it explode outside?!"
"I don't know..." Before Li could finish, he seemed to have seen something, and a panicked voice came again, "Okay, it's so big, I saw an Origin Stone Worm as high as a three-story building, and it was still spraying Fire, the explosion just now was caused by it!"
Pompeii…
Zhou Jinru only had this word in his mind. He had seen it countless times in the dream world. Every time he dealt with it, he relied on the strength of the rigid shield to bear the damage and kill. Except for the time in Xista, he did not expect that now See you again.
A burst of meteors suddenly fell in the dark sky, but in Zhou Jinru's eyes, those meteors were clearly meteors and fire showers ejected by the Pompeii Origin Stone Worm!
Countless meteor-like fireballs fell like flowers, smashing deep pits into the ground. The smooth road suddenly became bumpy, and there were even unburned flames burning.
The mourner who climbed into the driver's seat had no time to pull on his seat belt and drove the transport truck at an acute angle of 30° in the empty street, narrowly escaping the coverage of an explosive fireball.
"Doctor, are you okay?"
There was no response from the car. The mourner raised his head. There was no one else in the rearview mirror. The doctor was not in the car, and neither was anyone else.
There were a total of six people in this transport truck, but they all ran off at the last moment.
After staring at the empty carriage for two seconds, the mourner decisively turned the steering wheel and turned back.
…
…
Zhou Jinru didn't know why he turned back. The moment the Pompeii Origin Stone Worm appeared, many scenes appeared in front of his eyes. His legs rushed out of the carriage involuntarily, followed by Angelina, Li, Breeze and Yanke.
Zhou Jinru could understand that the others could keep up, but the last Yanke was very surprised. In the limited communication between the two, Yanke didn't have much tendency to join Rhode Island, even though he had used various hints and equal treatment methods. He came to coerce Yan Ke, but the effect has never been ideal.
"Don't you understand why I got off the car?"
Yan Ke's eyes flashed with enthusiasm: "Compared to you, that big guy is my target. A real swordsman must have a matching enemy!"
"That's not a human being."
Yanke's passionate words were halted, and he said coldly: "I'm equally interested in the guy behind you, Doctor~Sir~"
"You have a chance, but not now."
Zhou Jinru turned around and looked at the ten-meter-tall Pompeii Origin Stone Worm. He could clearly feel that everything that happened in the dream world was still having a profound impact on him, whether it was strengthening the firepower configuration of Rhode Island operators or treating the operators. He always feels that the importance attached to life safety is not enough, not enough, and still not enough.
It was only now when facing Pompeii that Zhou Jinru realized that he had come such a long way and still could not let go.
His actions aroused the pent-up anger of the retreating operators. The first person to express his anger was Kelsi's student Yaye, who shouted directly into the earphone: "What are you going to do again?! Satellite City wants to be a hero. , Saint Martin is the same, and it is the same here. Once you become a hero, you can die in peace, right? Then you can die!"
Before Zhou Jinru could say anything, his headphones were taken off by the senior operator behind him, and the film man let out a long sigh in his hoarse throat: "You should look back, we are right behind you. "
Four transport vehicles came back, and several lights shone on him. More than 20 operators got out of the vehicle with weapons raised, and gathered around, waiting for instructions.
"According to the conventional combat plan, the sniper operators and special operators will act together to clear out the weak enemies scattered around. Anxin will cooperate with you. Your group spell attack is needed."
Ifrit couldn't wait to say: "Me, me, me, my hands are already itching unbearably!"
"Wait a moment. The Pompeii Origin Stone Worm's body is filled with high-temperature lava. It is good at spell attacks, and its own spell resistance is extremely high. Your spiritual dissolution must cooperate with Seria's calcification. But in this way, you will be affected by it when you get close. Too much damage has become a big problem again.”
"You actually look down on my power! Wow!"
Zhou Jinru pressed her head, which made the little fire dragon feel dissatisfied. Since Seria was nearby, he didn't return the favor.
"So now we need someone with powerful physical attacks?"
Zhou Jinru nodded: "It seems like this so far. According to the information I have learned, Pompeii's magic resistance is extremely high, and conventional spell attacks are almost ineffective."
Wei Feng glanced around a few times. Among the Rhode Island operators present, there was no one with high physical attack. Although Undertaker's attack was high, he relied on two shotguns. Not to mention the short attack range, the iron sand shot out may not be It can cause effective damage to Pompeii who maintains high temperature all over his body.
"Let me do it."
Ceria clenched her fists, which moved Zhou Jinru. The King of Fighters was finally willing to put down his shield and become a guard, which was touching.
He still shook his head and said: "No, the main force attacking Pompeii is only me, and none of you are suitable."
But at this moment, a dull voice came from the other side: "What do you think of me?"
Mud Rock walked over with a square warhammer in both hands. Zhou Jinru noticed that the armor on her front was scorched black. After activating the shield, her whole body was shrouded in a gray light film, and the long handle of the warhammer was glowing with scarlet light.
"You were hit in the front by Pompeii's attack. Do you think you can block the damage?"
Mu Yan said solemnly: "The attack mode of this monster is weird. The fireball pierces the body and causes attached damage. It will continue to consume the shield. If it weren't for my special Origin Stone skills, the shield would have been broken by now."
"Yes, this is my concern," Zhou Jinru glanced at the operators present, "This is my concern. If the shield is broken at close range, there is almost no chance of escape."
Yaye asked: "Is it safe if you go there in person?"
Zhou Jinru said categorically: "I have this confidence."
"Let me go."
Niyan weighed the hammer in his hand and continued: "Commander should not take risks personally. I am now in peak condition, with full shield and maximum physical attack. You just need to tell me where to attack that big guy. "
"Don't you know the characteristics of the Origin Stone Worm? This thing is all body except its head. You can cause damage if you hit the body. But remember, if the shield is too low, you must retreat immediately. I have seen Many people lost their lives because they wanted to kill this thing as quickly as possible.”
When the mudrock is stacked full of attacks, the multiplier can reach an astonishing 360% increase. In the game, only operators who can dodge or lock blood can block her attack. It is terrifying in four words.
If she used this power to beat Pompeii, the scene would be so beautiful that Zhou Jinru couldn't imagine it. Now that Mud Rock had volunteered, he had no reason to refuse.
"Everything is going according to plan. Note that Pompeii's attacks are almost irregular, so the medical pressure will be great. Everyone must pay attention to safety."
As soon as he started taking action, the operators started to move with a bang, each doing their corresponding duties. Only Li was still standing by his side.
"I'm supposed to keep you safe now."
Zhou Jinru smiled and shook his head: "I am safe now."
"No."
Li shook his head slightly: "You will put yourself in danger, you are the most unstable factor."
Zhou Jinru leaned against the side of the carriage, twirling a dagger in his hand, which was a weapon he used for self-defense, and said slowly: "All the efforts I have made are for the lovely operators to live a better life. I have a clear conscience. .”
"It's such a clear conscience. It's not easy to say this from your mouth, but you know, sometimes it's the most uncomfortable thing to have a clear conscience."
Li, who had already taken off her armor, didn't have the same strength as before, but she still pushed Zhou Jinru hard and pressed him on the carriage. She stood on tiptoes and raised her face, her big watery eyes covered with a layer of mist. .
"What if I want you to have a guilty conscience?"
"gravel."
"Call my name."
"Senomi, you should know what I mean."
"I don't want to be clear, doctor, you have always been bound by your own moral values, pursuing a clear conscience. Your ideal is too beautiful. This is a very cruel world. Take the Rust Belt people as an example. In addition to the refugees who have been evacuated to the block, no one can say how many people were killed in the natural disaster. You said that Mr. Russell prepared two paths for the Rust Belt people, one is to get on the ship, and the other is to join. In my opinion, he has actually prepared a third path for the integration movement, which is to either obey his family, follow the integration movement, or die. Do you have a clear conscience for a person like this?"
Li said a long paragraph in one breath. It seemed that she had been holding it back in her heart for a long time. Now that she saw a gap, she said it all.
For the first time, Zhou Jinru felt that this girl might have more ideas in his heart. He retorted: "Russell Demos can only be regarded as a business partner, not an operator, let alone a friend."
"I do not care!"
Li pressed over, put his hands around Zhou Jinru's neck, and kissed him on the corner of his mouth very quickly, with a smile in his eyes: "Selfish person, you haven't apologized to us yet, this can only be counted as interest, I I will take care of what you owe me this time, so be prepared."
Miss Marmot disappeared in front of Zhou Jinru, leaving only the warmth at the corner of her mouth.
"You're right, I'm a selfish person."
"You are indeed a selfish person. The last time I saw you, your selfishness hurt many people. But now this selfishness has evolved into a concept of self-protection, which still hurts the people around you."
Ceria stood not far away, and it was obvious that she had seen everything that had just happened.
"Director Sai, I think you should also be a selfish person."
Ceria was silent for two seconds, and there was something in her eyes: "Hemo thought the same thing. She felt that if I had been tougher at the beginning, maybe the tragedy would not have happened later. In fact, you should be able to let go again." Open a little more, don't be afraid that the operators will be injured, and don't be afraid that they will encounter danger. Sometimes it is a mistake to protect too much."
The white dragon and Zhou Jinru stood side by side, saying meaningfully: "It took me a long time to understand this truth. Being too conservative may not be a good thing, and the same goes for you."
"No wonder you can safely let Ifrit use that power."
Seria did not shy away: "The power comes from the Balrog. I can even feel the Balrog in her spiritual world. It will do no harm to the child. There is no need for me to prohibit her from mastering the power."
Zhou Jinru admired sincerely:
"Director Sai, I finally understand why you can control such a powerful force."
