[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Ye Gucheng was vomiting violently in the infirmary.

That was half a bottle of alcohol. Even a drunkard like Linghu Chong had to mix it with water, not to mention the Lord of Baiyun City who never drank.

"Ximen Chuxue...you bastard...ah...you are so despicable and shameless, how dare you...ah...I misjudged you...you...a carp blowing bubbles...I won't lose first, it's obvious that you are more seriously injured, ah...bad guy, wine...I won't vomit bubbles..."

The alcohol gradually took over his body and he gradually became unconscious.

Ximen Chuxue sat on the side, watching Ye Gucheng vomiting and muttering in silence, and suddenly began to reflect on whether he had gone too far. For the opponent he had identified, even if the other person was a little eccentric, narrow-minded, not magnanimous, and always repaid kindness with enmity, he should have been tolerant... Cough cough cough... He coughed for a while. The seven or eight wounds on his body were nothing, but as long as he thought of how he was strangled by the neck and forced to drink medicine, and how he was beaten with his scabbard for no reason, Ximen Chuxue still felt that he had not drunk enough wine!

He asked for it!

When he couldn't vomit anything anymore, Ye Gucheng rolled around on the bed, groaning while covering the wound on his left shoulder, completely destroying his usual cold and arrogant image.

"Hmm... you poor bug, don't put it in... it hurts... let me out... Ximen Chuxue, you bastard, I'll feed you to the bugs..."

Ximen Chuixue: ...

He turned to look at Lin Xian'er, who immediately understood and said, "You fell asleep directly after getting drunk, and you didn't even talk a word in your sleep."

As expected.

However, seeing such a bloody example before him, Ximen Chuxue decided never to touch a drop of alcohol in the future, no matter what the reason.

Shi Guanyin stood at the door, blocked her nose and frowned, "What the hell are you two doing? A sword fight is fine, but why did you force him to drink?"

"Is there no hangover cure?"

"It's a pity." After treating Ximen Chuixue's wound, the medic spread his hands helplessly and said, "This is just a temporary camp. The types of medicines are not very complete. To be frank, I really didn't expect that a mecha soldier would be forced to drink alcohol while on a mission."

The people in the room and in the corridor sighed at the same time.

Ye Gucheng was really drunk, and his drinking behavior was not very good. Of course, this badness was only relatively speaking. After all, there were not many people like Ximen Chuxue who fell asleep after getting drunk. But he was still much better than those who smashed things, made trouble, and let water on the streets after getting drunk.

He was just singing softly, his voice was very low, like a lullaby, and the area covered was only a small infirmary.

This cannot be considered a bad habit, provided that he does not draw the skill [Peerless Diva].

"The wind blows up the dust, the clouds turn into rain, and countless heroes bravely fight in all directions..."

Ximen Chuxue, who was sitting quietly, suddenly jumped up and began dancing uncontrollably. The IV needle on his hand also broke free with his dancing, leaving a deep blood mark on the back of his hand.

Lin Xian'er was the most unlucky. She was about to go out and was already at the door, but thinking that it would be inconvenient for Ximen Chuxue to hang the IV with one hand, she kindly made the bed for him and poured him a cup of hot water. A short while later, Ye Gucheng started singing. She raised her hand and the hot water poured all over her face, then she twisted her waist, as charming as a vine.

When she sang "Love is entangled around the hero's body", she hugged Ximen Chuxue's waist and hung her whole body on him, while Ximen Chuxue hugged Ye Gucheng, and the three of them were entangled, holding hands and spinning in circles in the small infirmary.

The stone Guanyin standing at the door: …

Teammates waiting in the corridor: …

Silence, silence is the infirmary tonight.

The crown prince stared blankly at the three people dancing in the room. After a long pause, he took out his terminal and said, "Coordinates: Planet Ao 231, longitude and latitude ×××. Send a few psychiatrists here quickly. The weak Omega is under too much combat pressure and has started to behave abnormally. Yes, please hurry up."

……

It was already afternoon when Ye Gucheng woke up.

The sunlight was blinding and my head felt like it was going to explode, but the penetrating wound on my left shoulder had healed a lot.

His last memory of last night was the bottle of liquor pouring down his throat.

Damn Ximen Chuxue!
He slowly straightened up, holding up his head which seemed to have grown twice as big. After seeing everything around him clearly, his pupils twitched violently!
He found himself kneeling beside the bed, his wrists were bruised with obvious fingerprints. He licked his lips and felt a strange taste lingering in his mouth. To his horror, he discovered the source of the strange smell: there was a shoe on the bed with a hole at the toe and obvious signs of teeth tearing it.

"You finally woke up." A voice came from behind. Ye Gucheng turned around and saw Lin Xian'er standing at the door tiredly, as if she had given birth to ten babies in one breath and then been forced to dig in the mines for ten days: "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Ye Gucheng felt uncomfortable in many ways, but he still subconsciously stood up straight, his demeanor like an emperor walking in a palace.

He glanced at the shoe with a hole in it and asked, "What happened last night?"

Lin Xian'er shook her head: "You don't want to know, and I won't tell you. This is good for both of us."

Since she didn't say anything, Ye Gucheng didn't ask. He didn't really want to know, especially who the shoe belonged to.

"The army has already set out. Everyone has gone ahead and we have to catch up quickly. The vanguard has encountered the queen's guards head-on, so we are going to have a tough battle." Lin Xian'er sighed. With just a few words, she seemed to have dug another mine.

"Where is Ximen Chuxue?" Ye Gucheng asked.

Lin Xian'er said, "Before he left, he asked me to tell you something."

"what?"

"He said he never wanted to see you again in his life."

Ye Gucheng paused and said coldly: "When you see him, tell him a message for me."

"What?"

Ye Gucheng said: "If someone doesn't want to see someone for the rest of his life, the best way is to die quickly."

Lin Xian'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you convey it, but can you answer a question for me first?"

She said, "Unlucky bug... don't put it in... what does that mean?"

Ye Gucheng's face was still red from the hangover, but it turned pale as paper in an instant because of this question. Lin Xian'er chuckled and shrank her neck: "It seems that it is not a good thing to say. You look like you want to kill me to silence me."

……

The sky was covered with a layer of white fog, and even the midsummer sun could not shine in, let alone see the road ahead.

The weather suddenly turned cold. Linghu Chong glanced at the terminal on his wrist, which showed that the temperature was close to zero degrees.

It was 32 degrees yesterday. This is how the planet works. It goes through all four seasons in just two or three days.

The road was difficult to travel, and the detector lost its signal here. Dozens of miles behind, the main force of the army was fighting with the heroine's guards. This kind of collective combat did not require the use of mecha soldiers, but Shi Potian and Ke Zhenwu still went to participate in the battle, and the rest were responsible for checking whether there were any other Zerg movements near the battlefield.

Communication between Zerg is much more convenient and faster than that between humans. When the leader Zerg has a thought, its followers thousands of miles away can receive it immediately. However, the communication signals invented by humans are always unstable.

Chu Liuxiang and Shi Guanyin investigated the south, Wang Lianhua and two other mecha soldiers were responsible for paying attention to the incoming and outgoing signals in the signal station, and Linghu Chong entered the misty forest with Ximen Chuxue.

It’s not quite accurate to call it a forest, because the trees here are different from the trees seen in other places. They feel soft, slippery and sticky to the touch, and some of them look like deep-sea fish.

The road under my feet was also very strange. The "land" was red, and the branches of the trees were attached to the ground. Every step felt like stepping on sections of intestines.

"I always feel like I've entered the mouth of a monster." Linghu Chong smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "You have an electromagnetic cannon in your hand."

Linghu Chong laughed: "Your idea is really good."

Ximen Chuixue said calmly: "I didn't give any advice."

Linghu Chong said: "Okay, this idea was mine."

As he said that, he took off the electromagnetic cannon from his waist and fired forward.

There was a flash of white light and a sonic boom that hurt people's ears. Apart from that, there was no other sound that seemed out of place. Those strange trees and red soil were blasted to pieces by the electromagnetic cannon, leaving only pieces of flying ash.

The road that had been blasted was straight and flat, and much easier to walk on than before.

Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I was overthinking."

Ximen Chuxue remained cold and showed no emotion.

The area covered by fog was about forty kilometers in diameter. Further ahead, the fog had dissipated and the vegetation began to return to normal.

Linghu Chong sat on a big rock, drank a tube of nutrient solution, then used the terminal to write down the coordinates of this place and sent them to the signal station, which meant that this place was safe.

After being busy for almost a whole day, it was time to take a break. He lay down on the big rock. However, Ximen Chuxue did not rest. Instead, he looked back at the dense forest he had just walked out of.

"What's wrong?" Linghu Chong asked, "What did you find?"

Ximen Chuxue shook his head.

It was not that he discovered something, but rather an intuition, a intuition that he was about to encounter something very familiar and creepy. He couldn't tell Linghu Chong about this feeling, after all, none of them found any problems during the detection.

As he spoke, Linghu Chong glanced at the terminal inadvertently and suddenly jumped up from the big rock.

"wrong!"

He showed the terminal to Ximen Chuxue: "The signal has been cut off. It was ten o'clock in the morning when we came in, and it should be five o'clock in the afternoon now, but the terminal still shows ten o'clock. This means that the signal has been cut off. It should not be able to display any information, but when we test it, why does it always show safe?"

Of course it's because there is something disrupting the signal here.

Zerg, it can only be Zerg!

What species could disrupt the signal from the military terminal? Linghu Chong thought about several things, but he ruled them out one by one. After thinking about it, he still had no clue.

Ximen Chuixue said: "Go back and take a look."

The two turned back to the foggy forest. This time they observed more carefully, checking almost every inch. As they walked, Ximen Chuxue stopped.

He took off his protective suit.

Protective clothing can not only block most damage, automatically regulate body temperature, and hide human odor, but also has the function of filtering the air.

The moment he took off the protective suit, he felt a chill that stung his skin, and at the same time he smelled a peculiar smell.

It was a rotten, fishy smell. When he was in the dormitory of the special operations training camp, he could smell this smell every morning when he returned home.

Something seemed to be stirring in the dense forest, making a rustling sound. Then, the vines and branches of the trees attached to the ground began to move, as if fresh blood was injected and they seemed to have a pulse.

Ximen Chuxue knew what this was.

Nightmare.

It was the same kind he had seen in the simulation cabin!

It smelled the scent of humans and woke up.

The nightmare creature has no form of its own. It is a kind of parasite that can attach itself to any living thing. It parasitizes on trees. It is a scarlet vine that makes the trees seem alive, like tentacles growing in the deep sea.

Of course, it can also parasitize in the human body.
